This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 
publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you.

PREFACE  //t«7-oi723 


THE  design  of  this  work  is  to  furnish  a  comprehensive  system  of  topical  references  covering  the  entire 
Scriptures,  so  arranged  as  to  enable  the  reader  desiring  to  know  the  teachings  of  the  Word  of  God  on  any 
fundamental  subject,  to  turn  instantly  from  one  to  another  of  a  series  of  the  best  passages  on  that  subject. 

The  need  of  such  a  work  will  be  apparent  to  all  Bible  students.  The  old  references,  although  doubtless 
representing  much  research  and  labor,  are  indefinite  and  unsatisfactory.  There  is  nothing  to  indicate  what 
subject  will  appear  in  the  verse  or  verses  to  which  the  reader  is  referred,  and  the  citations  are  exceedingly 
meager.  Under  the  former  systems  of  Bible  study,  there  is  no  method  available  by  which  a  student  can  readily 
follow  a  subject  from  verse  to  verse  in  his  own  Bible,  nothing  to  aid  him  in  his  progress ;  he  must  continually 
turn  back  to  the  subject-index,  or  consult  some  other  topical  help.  This  is  a  slow  and  laborious  process,  not 
adapted  to  the  needs  of  Bible  students  in  this  busy  age. 

The  superiority  of  the  plan  of  this  work  lies  in  the  fact,  that  not  only  are  the  references  topical,  following 
a  definite  line  of  thought,  but  each  series  is  so  united  into  a  complete  chain  that  the  reader,  having  found  the 
first  text,  moves  steadily  forward,  with  no  necessity  of  retracing  his  steps  or  turning  aside  to  consult  reference 
letters  or  helps.  Thus  the  time  of  the  student  is  saved;  the  work  has  been  done  for  him;  he  travels  to  the 
mines  of  truth  over  a  prepared  road,  instead  of  building  one  as  he  goes  along.  The  preacher  in  the  pulpit,  the 
Sunday  school  teacher  before  his  class,  or  the  devotional  reader  in  the  home,  all  alike  are  brought  into  imme- 
diate touch  with  the  best  thoughts  of  the  Worfi  fcjttod  on  any  theme.  This  Bible  puts  a  mighty  weapon  into 
'  the  hands  of  Christian  workers,  and  instead  of  giving  the  opinions  of  men  on  any  subject  under  consideration, 
all  the  infinite  resources  of  the  Holy  Scriptures  are  placed  at  their  command. 

The  Chain-Reference  Bible  is  the  product  of  fifteen  years  of  topical  Study.  The  examination  of  every 
rerse  of  Scripture  in  the  different  versions,  to  ascertain  so  far  as  possible  its  exact  meaning,  has  been  a  task 
of  no  small  magnitude ;  the  preparation  of  topics  and  references  with  the  view  of  covering  substantially  every 
important  aspect  of  scriptural  truth,  and  the  condensation  and  arrangement  of  these  topics  opposite  appropriate 
verses  and  within  the  limits  of  marginal  space,  have  required  a  vast  amount  of  study. 

In  connection  with  the  above  work,  a  new  subject-index  has  been  prepared  containing  all  the  important 
topics  found  in  other  topical  text-books,  and  a  very  large  amount  of  original  material  for  use  in  Bible  study. 

It  has  been  the  constant  aim  of  the  author  to  keep  the  topics  and  references  in  harmony  with  the  evan- 
gelical thought  of  the  age,  and  to  omit  all  doubtful  and  controversial  subjects. 

In  using  this  chain-reference  system,  it  must  be  remembered  that  the  limited  space  upon  the  margin 
necessarily  excludes  all  explanatory  matter;  this  fact  makes  the  references  suggestive  rather  thanexegetical 
or  expository.  By  placing  topics  on  the  margin,  in  some  cases  opposite  obscure  texts,  the  author  has  not 
attempted  to  give  a  dogmatic  or  arbitrary  interpretation  of  the  texts,  but  has  simply  suggested  a  collateral  line 
of  thought,  in  the  pursuance  of  which  the  reader  must  use  his  own  judgment 

The  author  acknowledges  his  indebtedness  to  the  great  commentaries  which  he  has  constantly  consulted, 
especially  Matthew  Henry,  Linge,  Meyer,  Godet,  Scott,  Clark,  Olshausen,  Alf ord  and  Trench.    He  has  also 
'  received  much  help  from  a  large  number  of  books,  under  various  names,  containing  topical  arrangements  of 
Bible  passages. 

The  completion  of  this  book  would  have  been  well  nigh  impossible  without  the  constant  co-operation  of 
the  author's  wife,  Laura  Boughton  Thompson,  who,  through  many  years  of  indefatigable  labor,  has  rendered 
invaluable  assistance. 

If  there  are  any  features  of  special  merit  in  this  Bible,  they  are  not  due  to  human  wisdom  or  effort,  but 
rather  to  the  leadings  of  the  Divine  Spirit,  and  whatever  imperfections  are  found  grow  out  of  human  limitations. 

With  profound  gratitude  to  God  for  the  strength  given  to  complete  this  work,  it  is  sent  forth  into  the 
world  with  the  hope  that  it  may  encourage  the  study  of  God's  Word  by  rendering  its  treasures  more  accessible 
to  all  readers.

EXPLANATION  OF  THE  CHAIN-REFERENCE 

SYSTEM 


SCOPE  OF  THE  SYSTEM.— This  system  consists  of  about  ONE  HUNDRED  THOUSAND  topical  and 
collateral  references  selected  with  great  care,  and  embraces  substantially  every  important  subject  and  verse 
of  the  Scriptures. 

a.  TOPICAL  REFERENCES.— The  topical  references  are  made  up  of  series  of  from  five  to  twenty 
texts  on  each  topic,  or  subtopic.  The  texts  of  each  series  are  so  connected  on  the  margins  as  to  form  an 
orderly  CHAIN  extending  from  the  earliest  point  in  the  Old  or  New  Testament,  where  an  appropriate  text 
on  the  subject  is  found,  on  toward  the  end  of  the  Bible. 

6.  COLLATERAL  REFERENCES.— The  references  marked  "p.p."  (parallel  passages)  are  collateral 
references  prepared  by  a  thorough  revision  of  the  old  systems,  and  are  not  connected  with  the  chains. 

c.  BIBLE  CHARACTERS.— A  few  prominent  events  in  the  life  of  each  important  Bible  character  have 
been  incorporated  into  a  separate  chain  on  the  respective  characters. 

HOW  TO  FOLLOW  A  MARGINAL  TOPIC— Suppose  jt  is  desired  to  follow  the  subject  Creator 
through  the  Bible:  turn  in  the  Subject-index  to  the  topic  Creator,  and  the  following  divisions  appear: 

"CREATOR, 

(1)  God  as  Creator  of  the  Natural  Universe,  Ge.Ll;  Ex^O.ll;  Ne.9.6;  etc 

(2)  God  as  Creator  of  Man,  GeX26;  etc 

(3)  Christ  as  Creator  (M.  Christ,  Creator),  Jn.1.3;  etc 

(4)  Holy  Spirit  as  Creator  (N.M.),  Gcl.2;  etc" 

The  first  reference  above  under  Creator  (2)  is  Ge.1.1,  the  first  link  of  the  chain.  Turn  in  the  Bible  to  Ge. 
1.1,  and  note  on  the  margin  opposite  this  verse  Creator  (2),  Ex.20. 11 ;  the  reference  2Ste.20.22  is  the  second 
link  of  the  chain.  Turn  to  Ex. 20. 11  and  note  the  topic  on  the  margin  Ge.1.1,  Creator  (2),  Ne.9.6.  The 
reference  at  the  left,  Ge.1.1,  refers  back  to  the  first  link  of  the  chain,  and  the  reference  at  the  right,  Ne.9.6, 
is  the  third  link  of  the  chain, — thus  the  reader  is  led  forward,  from  verse  to  verse,  to  the  end  of  the  chain, 
and  every  topic  of  the  Chain-Reference  System  can  be  traced  in  the  same  manner.  If  the  reader,  in  following 
a  chain,  drops  a  link  at  any  point,  it  can  readily  be  found  by  turning  to  the  Subject-index  where  all  the  topics 
and  references  are  systematically  arranged. 

THE  REFERENCE  AT  THE  RIGHT.— It  will  be  seen  from  the  above  illustration  that  the  reference  at 
the  right  of  a  topic  always  refers  to  the  next  link  in  the  chain  on  that  topic  (except  when  preceded  by  "See"). 

THE  REFERENCE  AT  THE  LEFT  of  a  topic  always  refers  back  to  the  first  link  in  the  chain  on 
that  topic  If  there  is  nothing  on  the  margin  at  the  left  of  a  topic  it  indicates  that  this  verse  itself  is  the 
beginning  of  the  chain  on  that  topic. 

A  NUMERAL  in  parenthesis  on  the  margin  at  the  right  of  a  topic  refers  to  a  subdivision  of  the  topic 
in  the  Subject-index. 

THE  WORD  "  See "  on  the  margin  indicates  that  the  reference  is  to  a  collateral  topic,  and  sometimes 
refers  to  an  intermediate  link  in  a  chain  containing  a  related  thought 

SPECIAL  MARGINAL  TOPICS.— Long  topics  often  appear  in  a  more  condensed  form  on  the  margin  than 
in  the  Subject-index.  For  instance,  the  topic  Accumulation  of  Wealth  is  printed  on  the  margin  Accumu- 
lation. Frequently  under  subdivisions  of  a  topic  there  is  a  special  marginal  topic  used  to  express  more 
explicitly  the  meaning  than  would  be  possible  by  the  use  of  a  topic  and  a  numeral  For  example,  Creator  (£), 
Christ  as  Creator  is  printed  on  the  margin  Christ,  Creator ;  Obedience  (5),  Filial  Enjoined,  appears  as 
Filial  Obedience.  The  limited  space  upon  the  margins  has  made  it  necessary  to  mingle  long  and  short  topics, 
leaving  some  topics  with  numerals  affixed. 

tv 


EXPLANATION  OF  THE  CHAIN-REFERENCE  SYSTEM 


THE  LETTER  "M."  signifies  On  the  margin;  it  is  used  only  in  the  Subject-index  and  will  always  be 
found  in  a  parenthesis  with  the  topic,  in  the  form  in  which  the  topic  is  printed  on  the  margin. 

BRIEF  BUT  COMPREHENSIVE  CHAINS.— In  case  a  topic  is  rarely  referred  to  in  the  Scriptures,  most, 
if  not  all  of  the  references  are  embodied  in  the  chain ;  but  if  a  topic  has  a  large  number  of  references 
the  plan  of  the  work  is  not  to  incorporate  all  of  these  into  the  chain,  but  rather  to  connect  a  sufficient 
number  of  well  chosen  verses  to  give  the  general  teaching  of  the  Scriptures  on  the  subject  It  must 
be  remembered  that  some  of  the  chains  cover  more  than  a  single  aspect  of  a  subject  and,  if  the  first  link 
does  not  contain  the  idea  sought,  it  will  usually  appear  at  some  subsequent  link  in  the  chain. 

MARGINAL  TOPICS  REPEATED.— The  Chain-Reference  System  is  not  limited  to  references  contained 
in  the  chains.  Whenever  an  important  thought  is  found  in  a  verse  not  included  in  a  chain,  a  topic  germane 
to  the  thought  is  selected  from  the  system  and  printed  on  the  margin  opposite,  with  the  first  link  of  that 
chain  at  the  left  There  are  about  forty  thousand  such  instances  where  topics  are  repeated  outside  of  the 
chains  yet  in  every  case  connected  with  some  chain  containing  the  same  line  of  thought  so  enlarging  /the 
scope  of  the  system  as  to  include  nearly  every  important  verse  of  the  Bible. 

TOPICS  OMITTED  FROM  THE  MARGIN.— A  few  topics  in  the  Subject-index  marked  "(N.M.)"  (Not 
on  the  Margin)  are  omitted  for  economy  of  space,  or  because  the  meaning  is  more  or  less  obscure.  For  the 
same  reason  a  topic  is  sometimes  omitted  from  the  margin  opposite  the  last  verse  of  a  chain. 


KEY  TO" THE  PRONUNCIATION 
OF  PROTER  NAMES 


*T^HIS  system  of  diacritical   marks   will  greatly  facilitate  the  pronunciation  of  the  proper  names   of 
Scripture. 
The  words  are  divided  into  syllables  by  the  short  hyphen  (-)•    Compound  names  are  separated  by 
the  longer  hyphen  (-).    The  accented  syllables  are  marked  (').

CHAPTER  1 


Jheereationof  heaven  and  earth,  $  of  \)t>  for  signs,  and  for  seasons, 


the  light,  6  of  the  firmament:  9  the 
earth  separated  from  the  waters,  11 
and  made  fruitful.  14  The  creation 
of  the  eun,  moon,  and  stars,  20  of 
fish  and  fowl,  24  of  beasts  and  cat- 
tle. 26  Creation  of  man  in  the  tm- 
age  of  God;  and  his  blessing  29 
The  appointment  of  food* 

IN  the  beginning  God  created 
the  heaven  and  the  earth. 

2  And  the  earth  was  without 
form,  and  void;  and  darkness 
woe  upon  the  face  of  the  deep. 
And  the  Spirit  of  God  moved 
upon  the  face  of  the  waters. 

3  IT  And  God  said,  Let  there  be 
light :  and  there  was  light 

4  And  God  saw  the  light,  that 
it  was  good :  and  God  divided 
the  light  from  the  darkness. 

5  And  God  called  the  light 
Day,  and  the  darkness  he  called 
Night.  And  the  evening  and 
the  morning  were  the  first  day. 

6  HAnd  God  said,  Let  there  be 
a  firmament  in  the  midst  of  the 
waters,  and  let  it  divide  the 
waters  from  the  waters. 

7  And  God  made  the  firma- 
ment, and  divided  the  waters 
which  were  under  the  firma- 
ment from  the  waters  which 
were  above  the  firmament:  and 
it  was  so. 

8  And  God  called  the  firma- 
ment Heaven.  And  the  even- 
ing and  the  morning  were  the 
second  day. 

9  IT  And  God  said,  Let  the 
waters  under  the  heaven  be 
gathered  together  unto  one 
place,  and  let  the  dry  land  ap- 
pear: and  it  was  so. 

10  And  God  called  the  dry 
land  Earth;  and  the  gathering 
together  of  the  waters  called  he 
Seas :  and  God  saw  that  it  was 
good. 

11  And  God  said,  Let  the  earth 
bring  forth  grass,  the  herb  yield- 
ing seed,  and  the  fruit  tree 
yielding  fruit  after  his  kind, 
whose  seed  is  in  itself,  upon  the 
earth :  and  it  was  so. 

12  And  the  earth  brought  forth 
grass,  and  herb  yielding  seed 
alter  his  kind,  and  the  tree 
yielding  fruit,  whose  seed  was 
m  itself,  after  his  kind:  and 
God  saw  that  it  was  good. 

13  And  the  evening  and  the 
morning  were  the  third  day. 

14  HAnd  God  said,  Let  there 
be  lights  in  the  firmament  of 
the  heaven  to  divide  the  day 


from  the  night;  and  let  them 


and  for  days,  and  years : 

15  And  let  them  be  for  lights 
in  the  firmament  of  the  heaven 
to  give  light  upon  the  earth: 
and  it  was  so. 

16  And  God  made  two  great 
lights ;  the  greater  light  to  rule 
the  dav,  and  the  lesser  light  to 
rule  the  night:  he  made  the 
stars  also. 

17  And  God  set  them  in  the 
firmament  of  the  heaven  to  give 
light  upon  the  earth, 

18  And  to  rule  over  the  dav 
and  over  the  night,  and  to  di- 
vide the  light  from  the  dark- 
ness: and  God  saw  that  it  was 
good. 

19  And  the  evening  and  the 
morning  were  the  fourth  day. 

20  IT  And  God  said,  Let  the 
waters  bring  forth  abundantly 
the  moving  creature  that  hath 
life,  and  fowl  that  may  fly  above 
the  earth  in  the  open  firmament 
of  heaven. 

21  And  God  created  great 
whales,  and  every  living  crea- 
ture that  moveth,  which  the 
waters  brought  forth  abun- 
dantly, after  their  kind,  and 
every  winged  fowl  after  his 
kind:  and  God  saw  that  it  was 
good. 

22  And  God  blessed  them,  say- 
ing, Be  fruitful,  and  multiply, 
and  fill  the  waters  in  the  seas, 
and  let  fowl  multiply  in  the 
earth. 

23  And  the  evening  and  the 
morning  were  the  fifth  day. 

24  K  And  God  said,  Let  the 
earth  bring  forth  the  living 
creature  after  his  kind,  cattle, 
and  creeping  thing,  and  beast 
of  the  earth  after  his  kind :  and 
it  was  so. 

25  And  God  made  the  beast  of 
the  earth  after  his  kind,  and  cat- 
tle after  their  kind,  and  every 
thing  that  creepeth  upon  the 
earth  after  his  kind:  and  God 
saw  that  it  was  good. 

26  HAnd  God  said,  Let  us  make 
man  in  our  image,  after  our  like- 
ness :  and  let  them  have  domin- 
ion over  the  fish  of  the  sea,  and 
over  the  fowl  of  the  air,  and  over 
the  cattle,  and  over  all  the  earth, 
and  over  every  creeping  thing 
that  creepeth  upon  the  earth. 

27  So  God  created  man  in  his 
mm  image,  in  the  image  of

God  created  he  him ;  male  and 
female  created  he  them. 

28  And  God  blessed  them,  and 
God  said  unto  them,  Be  fruitful, 
and  multiply,  and  replenish  the 
earth,  and  subdue  it :  and  have 
dominion  over  the  fish  of  the 
sea,  and  over  the  fowl  of  the 
air,  and  over  every  living  thing 
that  moveth  upon  the  earth. 

29  HAnd  God  said,  Behold,  I 
have  given  you  every  herb  bear- 
ing seed,  which  is  upon  the  face 
of  all  the  earth,  and  every  tree, 
in  the  which  is  the  fruit  of  a 
tree  Yielding  seed;  to  you  it 
shall  be  for  meat 

30  And  to  every  beast  of  the 
earth,  and  to  every  fowl  of  the 
air,  and  to  every  thing  that 
creepeth  upon  the  earth,  where- 
in there  %s  life,  I  have  given 
every  green  herb  for  meat :  and 
it  was  so. 

31  And  God  saw  every  thing 
that  he  had  made,  and,  behold, 
it  was  very  good.  And  the 
evening  and  the  morning  were 
the  sixth  day. 

CHAPTER  2 

The  first  sabbath.  8  The  garden  of 
Eden.  17  The  tree  of  knowledge 
forbidden.  19  The  creatures  named. 
21  The  making  of  woman,  and  in- 
stitution of  marriage. 

rpHUS  the  heavens  and  the 
JL  earth  were  finished,  and  all 
the  host  of  them. 

2  And  on  the  seventh  day  God 
ended  his  work  which  he  had 
made;  and  he  rested  on  the 
seventh  day  from  all  his  work 
which  he  had  made. 

3  And  God  blessed  the  seventh 
day,  and  sanctified  it:  because 
that  in  it  he  had  rested  from  all 
his  work  which  God  created  and 
made. 

4  UThese  are  the  generations 
of  the  heavens  and  of  the  earth 
when  they,  were  created,  in  the 
day  that  the  Lord  God  made 
the  earth  and  the  heavens, 

5  And  every  plant  of  the  field 
before  it  was  in  the  earth,  and 
every  herb  of  the  field  before  it 
grew:  for. the  Lord  God  had 
not  caused  it  to  rain  upon  the 
earth,  and  there  was  not  a  man 
to  till  the  ground. 

6  But  there  went  up  a  mist 
from  the  earth,  and  watered  the 
whole  face  of  the  ground. 

7  And  the  Lord  God  formed 
man  of  the  dust  of  the  ground, 
and  breathed  into  his  nostrils 
the  breath  of  life ;  and  man  be- 
came a  living  soul. 

8  HAnd  the  Lord  God  planted 
a  garden  eastward!  in  E'den ;  and 
there  he  put  the  man  whom  he 
had  formed.  . 


9  And  out  of  the  ground  made 
the  Lord  God  to  grow  every:tree 
that  is  pleasant  to  the  sight, 
and  good  for  food;  the  tree  of 
life  also  in  the  midst  of  the  gar- 
den, and  the  tree  of  knowledge 
of  good  and  evil. 

10  And  a  river  went  out  of 
£'d£n  to  water  the  garden ;  and 
from  thence  it  was  parted,  and 
became  into  four  heads. 

11  The  name  of  the  first  is 
Pi'son:  that  is  it  which  com- 
passeth  the  whole  land  of  HaVi 
lah,  where  there  is  gold; 

12  And  the  gold  of  that  land 
is  good :  there  is  bdellium  and 
the  onyx  stone. 

13  And  the  name  of  the  sec- 
ond river  is  Gilion:  the  same 
is  it  that  compasseth  the  whole 
land  of  E-thi-o'pW. 

14  And  the  name  of  the  third 
river  is  Hld'de-kgl:  that  is  it 
which  goeth  toward  the  east  of 
As-syr/Ea.  And  the  fourth  river 
is  Eu-phra'tes. 

15  And  the  Lord  God  took  the 
man,  and  put  him  into  the  gar- 
den of  E'den  to  dress  it  and  to 
keep  it. 

16  And  the  Lord  God  com- 
manded the  man,  saying,  Of 
every  tree  of  the  garden  thou 
mayest  freely  eat : 

17  But  of  the  tree  of  the  knowl- 
edge of  good  and  evil,  thou  shalt 
not  eat  of  it:  for  in  the  day 
that  thou  eatest  thereof  thou 
shalt  surely  die. 

18  TAnd  the  Lord  God  said, 
It  is  not  good  that  the  man 
should  be  alone;  I  will  make 
him  an  help  meet  for  him. 

19  And  out  of  the  ground  the 
Lord  God  formed  every  beast 
of  the  field,  and  every  fowl  of 
the  air ;  and  brought  them  unto 
Ad'am  to  see  what  he  would  call 
them:  and  whatsoever  Ad'am 
called  every  living  creature, 
that  was  the  name  thereof. 

20  And  Ad'am  gave  names  to 
all  cattle,  and  to  the  fowl  of  the 
air,  and  to  every  beast  of  the 
field;  but  for  Ad'am  there  was 
not  found  an  help  meet  for  him. 

21  And  the  Lord  God  caused  a 
deep  sleep  to  fall  upon  Ad'am, 
and  he  slept :  and  he  took  one 
of  his  ribs,  and  closed  up  the 
flesh  instead  thereof; 

22  And  the  rib,  which  the 
Lord  God  had  taken  from  man, 
made  he  a  woman,  and  brought 
her  unto  the  man. 

23  And  Ad'am  said,  This  is 
now  bone  of  my  bones,  and 
flesh  of  my  flesh :  she  shall  be 
called  Woman,  because  she  was 
taken  out  of  Man.    .

the  man  and  his  wife,  and  were 
not  ashamed. 

CHAPTER  3 
The  serpent  deeeiveth  Eve.  6  Mem*  9 
fall:  9  God  arraigneth  them.  14 
The  serpent  cursed  ;  his  overthrow 
by  the  woman* a  seed.  16  Mankind' 8 
punishment ;  and  loss  of  paradise. 

NOW  the  serpent  was  more 
subtil  than  any  beast  of 
the  field  which  the  Lord  God 
had  made.  And  he  said  unto 
the  woman,  Yea,  hath  God  said, 
Ye  shall  not  eat  of  every  tree 
of  the  garden? 

2  And  the  woman  said  unto 
the  serpent,  We  may  eat  of  the 
fruit  of  the  trees  of  the  garden : 

3  But  of  the  fruit  of  the  tree 
which  is  in  the  midst  of  the 
garden,  God  hath  said,  Ye  shall 
not  eat  of  it,  neither  shall  ye 
touch  it,  lest  ye  die. 

4  And  the  serpent  said  unto  the 
woman,  Ye  shall  not  surely  die : 

5  For  God  doth  know  that  in 
the  day  ye  eat  thereof,  then 
your  eyes  shall  be  opened,  and 
ye  shall  be  as  gods,  knowing 
good  and  evil 

6  And  when  the  woman  saw 
that  the  tree  was  good  for  food, 
and  that  it  was  pleasant  to  the 
eyes,  and  a  tree  to  be  desired  to 
make  one  wise,  she  took  of  the 
fruit  thereof,  and  did  eat,  and 
gave  also  unto  her  husband  with 
her;  and  he  did  eat 

7  And  the  eyes  of  them  both 
were  opened,  and  they  knew 
that  they  were  naked ;  and  they 
sewed  ng  leaves  together,  and 
made  themselves  aprons. 

8  And  they  heard  the  voice  of 
the  Lord  God  walking  in  the 
garden  in  the  cool  of  the  day: 
and  Ad'am  and  his  wife  hid 
themselves  from  the  presence 
of  the  Lord  God  amongst  the 
trees  of  the  garden. 

9  And  the  Lord  God  called 
unto  Ad'am,  and  said  unto  him, 
Where  art  thou? 

10  And  he  said,  I  heard  thy 
voice  in  the  garden,  and  I  was 
afraid,  because  I  was  naked; 
and  I  hid  myself. 

11  And  he  said,  Who  told  thee 
that  thou  wast  naked?  Hast 
thou  eaten  of  the  tree,  whereof 
I  commanded  thee  that  thou 
shouldest  not  eat? 

12  And  the  man  said,  The  wo- 
man whom  thou  gavest  to  be 
with  me,  she  gave  me  of  the 
tree,  and  I  did  eat 

13  And  the  Lord  God  said  un- 


to the  woman,  What  is  this  that 
thou  hast  done?  And  the  wo- 
man said,  The  serpent  beguiled 
me,  and  I  did  eat. 

14  And  the  Lord  God  said  un- 
to the  serpent,  Because  thou 
hast  done  this,  thou  art  cursed 
above  all  cattle,  and  above  every 
beast  of  the  field;  upon  thy 
belly  shalt  thou  go,  and  dust 
shalt  thou  eat  all  the  days  of 
thy  life: 

15  And  I  will  put  enmity  be- 
tween thee  and  the  woman,  and 
between  thy  seed  and  her  seed ; 
it  shall  bruise  thy  head,  and 
thou  shalt  bruise  his  heel. 

16  Unto  the  woman  he  said,  I 
will  greatly  multiply  thy  sorrow 
and  thy  conception;  in  sorrow 
thou  shalt  bring  forth  children ; 
and  thy  desire  shall  be  to  thy 
husband,  and  he  shall  rule  over 
thee. 

17  And  unto  Ad'am  he  said, 
Because  thou  hast  hearkened 
unto  the  voice  of  thy  wife,  and 
hast  eaten  of  the  tree,  of  which 
I  commanded  thee,  saying,  Thou 
shalt  not  eat  of  it :  cursed  is  the 
ground  for  thy  sake ;  in  sorrow 
shalt  thou  eat  of  it  all  the  days 
of  thy  life ; 

18  Thorns  also  and  thistles 
shall  it  bring  forth  to  thee ;  and 
thou  shalt  eat  the  herb  of  the 
field; 

19  In  the  sweat  of  thy  face 
shalt  thou  eat  bread,  till  thou 
return  unto  the  ground ;  for  out 
of  it  wast  thou  taken :  for  dust 
thou  art,  and  unto  dust  shalt 
thou  return. 

20  And  Ad'am  called  his  wife's 
name  Eve ;  because  she  was  the 
mother  of  all  living. 

21  Unto  Ad'am  also  and  to  his 
wife  did  the  Lord  God  make 
coats  of  skins,  and  clothed  them. 
.  22  IFAnd  the  Lord  God  said, 
Behold,  the  man  is  become  as 
one  of  us,  to  know  good  and 
evil :  and  now,  lest  he  put  forth 
his  hand,  and  take  also  of  the 
tree  of  life,  and  eat,  and  live  for 
ever: 

23  Therefore  the  Lord  God 
sent  him  forth  from  the  garden 
of  CdSn,  to  till  the  ground  from 
whence  he  was  taken. 

24  So  he  drove  out  the  man ; 
and  he  placed  at  the  east  of  the 
garden  of  E'den  CheVu-blms, 
and  a  flaming  sword  which 
turned  every  way,  to  keep  the 
way  of  the  tree  of  life.

CHAPTER  6 

The  wiekedneee  of  the  world,  which 
provoketh  God's  wrath,  and  eaueeth 
the  flood,  &  Noah  findeth  Grace.  14 
The  order,  form,  and  nee  of  the  ark. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
men  began  to  multiply  on 
the  face  of  the  earth,  and  aaugh» 
ters  were  born  unto  them, 

2  That  the  sons  of  God  saw 
the  daughters  of  men  that  they 
were  fair ;  and  they  took  them 
wives  of  all  which  they  chose. 

3  And  the  Lord  said,  My  spirit 
shall  not  always  strive  with 
man,  for  that  he  also  is  flesh: 
yet  his  days  shall  be  an  hun- 
dred and  twenty  years. 

4  There  were  giants  in  the 
earth  in  those  days;  and  also 
after  that,  when  the  sons  of 
God  came  in  unto  the  daughters 
of  men,  and  they  bare  chil- 
dren to  them,  the  same  became 
mighty  men  which  were  of  old, 
men  of  renown. 

5  IT  And  God  saw  that  the 
wickedness  of  man  was  great 
in  the  earth,  and  that  every  im- 
agination of  the  thoughts  of  his 
heart  was  only  evil  continually. 

6  And  it  repented  the  Lord 
that  he  had  made  man  on  the 
earth,  and  it  grieved  him  at  his 
heart. 

7  And  the  Lord  said,  I  will  de- 
stroy man  whom  I  have  created 
from  the  face  of  the  earth ;  both 
man,  and  beast,  and  the  creep- 
ing thing,  and  the  fowls  of  the 
air ;  for  it  repenteth  me  that  I 
have  made  them. 

8  But  NO'ah  found  grace  in  the 
eyes  of  the  Lord.

of  NS'ah:  Nd'ah  was  a  just  man 
and  perfect  in  his  generations, 
and  Nd'ah  walked  with  God. 

10  And  Nd'ah  begat  three  sons, 
Shem,  Ham,  and  Ja'pheth. 

11  The  earth  also  was  corrupt 
before  God,  and  the  earth  was 
filled  with  violence. 

12  And  God  looked  upon  the 
earth,  and,  behold,  it  was  cor- 
rupt ;  for  all  flesh  had  corrupted 
his  way  upon  the  earth. 

13  And  God  said  unto  N5'ah, 
The  end  of  all  flesh  is  come 
before  me ;  for  the  earth  is  filled 
with  violence  through  them; 
and,  behold,  I  will  destroy  them 
with  the  earth. 

14  f  Make  thee  an  ark  of  go- 
pher wood;  rooms  shalt  thou 
make  in  the  ark,  and  shalt  pitch 
it  within  and  without  with  pitch. 

15  And  this  is  the  fashion 
which  thou  shalt  make  it  of: 
The  lengtji  of  the  ark  shall 
be  three  hundred  cubits,  the 
breadth  of  it  fifty  cubits,  and 
the  height  of  it  thirty  cubits. 

16  A  window  shalt  thou  make 
to  the  ark,  and  in  a  cubit  shalt 
thou  finish  it  above;  and  the 
door  of  the  ark  shalt  thou  set 
in  the  side  thereof ;  with  lower, 
second,  and  third  stories  shalt 
thou  make  it. 

17  And,  behold,  I,  even  I,  do 
bring  a  flood  of  waters  upon 
the  earth,  to  destroy  all  flesh, 
wherein  is  the  breath  of  life, 
from  under  heaven ;  and  every 
thing  that  is  in  the  earth  shall 
die. 

18  But  with  thee  will  I  estab- 
lish my  covenant;  and  thou 
shalt  come  into  the  ark,  thou, 
and  thy  sons,  and  thy  wife,  and 
thy  sons'  wives  with  thee. 

19  And  of  every  living  thing 
of  all  flesh,  two  of  every  sort 
shalt  thou  bring  into  the  ark,  to 
keep  them  alive  with  thee ;  they 
shall  be  male  and  female. 

20  Of  fowls  after  their  kind, 
and  of  cattle  after  their  kind, 
of  every  creeping  thing  of  the 
earth  after  his  kind,  two  of  every 
sort  shall  come  unto  thee,  to 
keep  them  alive. 

21  And  take  thou  unto  thee  of 
all  food  that  is  eaten,  and  thou 
shalt  gather  it  to  thee ;  and  it 
shall  be  for  food  for  thee,  and 
for  them. 

22  Thus  did  No'ah ;  according 
to  all  that  God  commanded  him, 
so  did  he. 

CHAPTER  7 
Noah,  with  his  family,  and  the  living 
creatures,  enter  into  the  ark.  17 
The  beginning,  increase,  and  con- 
tinuance of  the  flood.  21  All  flesh 
destroyed. 


AND  the  Lord  said  unto 
No'ah,  Come  thou  and  all 
thy  house  into  the  ark ;  for  thee 
have  I  seen  righteous  before  me 
in  this  generation. 

2  Of  every  clean  beast  thou 
shalt  take  to  thee  by  sevens, 
the  male  and  his  female:  and 
of  beasts  that  are  not  clean  by 
two,  the  male  and  his  female. 

3  Of  fowls  also  of  the  air  by 
sevens,  the  male  andthefemale; 
to  keep  seed  alive  upon  the  face 
of  all  the  earth. 

4  For  yet  seven  days,  and  I  will 
cause  it  to  rain  upon  the  earth 
forty  days  and  forty  nights; 
and  every  living  substance  that 
I  have  made  will  I  destroy  from 
off  the  face  of  the  earth. 

5  And  No'ah  did  according 
unto  all  that  the  Lord  com- 
manded him. 

6  And  Nd'ah  was  six  hundred 
years  old  when  the  flood  of  wa- 
ters was  upon  the  earth. 

7  And  Nd'ah  went  in,  and  his 
sons,  and  his  wife,  and  his  sons' 
wives  with  him,  into  the  ark, 
because  of  the  waters  of  the 
flood. 

8  Of  clean  beasts,  and  of  beasts 
that  are  not  clean,  and  of  fowls, 
and  of  everything  that  creepeth 
upon  the  earth, 

9  There  went  in  two  and  two 
unto  No'ah  into  the  ark,  the 
male  and  the  female,  as  God 
had  commanded  No'ah. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
seven  days,  that  the  waters  of 
the  flood  were  upon  the  earth. 

11  fin  the  six  hundredth  year 
of  Nd'ah's  life,  in  the  second 
month,  the  seventeenth  day  of 
the  month,  the  same  day  were 
all  the  fountains  of  the  great 
deep  broken  up,  and  the  win- 
dows of  heaven  were  opened. 

12  And  the  rain  was  upon 
the  earth  forty  days  and  forty 
nights. 

13  In  the  selfsame  day  entered 
NS'ah,  and  Shem,  and  Ham,  and 
Ja'pheth,  the  sons  of  Nd'ah,  and 
N5'ah's  wife,  and  the  three 
wives  of  his  sons  with  them, 
into  the  ark ; 

14  They,  and  every  beast  after 
his  land,  and  all  the  cattle  after 
their  kind,  and  every  creeping 
thing  that  creepeth  upon  the 
earth  after  his  kind,  and  every 
fowl  after  his  kind,  every  bird 
of  every  sort 

15  And  they  went  in  unto 
Nd'ah  into  the  ark,  two  and  two 
of  all  flesh, wherein  is  the  breath 
of  life. 

16  And  they  that  went  in,  went 
in  male  and  female  of  all  flesh,

as  God  had  commanded  him: 
and  the  Lord  shut  him  in. 

17  And  the  flood  was  forty  days 
upon  the  earth ;  and  the  waters 
increased,  and  bare  up  the  ark, 
and  it  was  lift  up  above  the 
earth. 

18  And  the  waters  prevailed, 
and  were  increased  greatly  up- 
on the  earth ;  and  the  ark  went 
upon  the  face  of  the  waters. 

19  And  the  waters  prevailed 
exceedingly  upon  the  earth; 
and  all  the  high  hills,  that  were 
under  the  whole  heaven,  were 
covered. 

20  Fifteen  cubits  upward  did 
the  waters  prevail;  and  the 
mountains  were  covered. 

21  And  all  flesh  died  that 
moved  upon  the  earth,  both  of 
fowl,  and  of  cattle,  and  of  beast, 
and  of  every  creeping  thing  that 
creepeth  upon  the  earth,  and 
every  man : 

22  All  in  whose  nostrils  was 
the  breath  of  life,  of  all  that 
was  in  the  dry  land,  died. 

23  And  every  living  substance 
was  destroyed  which  was  upon 
the  face  of  the  ground,  both 
man,  and  cattle,  and  the  creep- 
ing things,  and  the  fowl  of 
the  heaven ;  and  they  were  de- 
stroyed from  the  earth:  and 
No'ah  only  remained  alive*  and 
they  that  were  with  him  in  the 
ark. 

24  And  the  waters  prevailed 
upon  the  earth  an  hundred  and 
fifty  days. 

CHAPTER  8 
The  waters  aeewage.  4  Thearkresteth 
on  Ararat  13  The  earth  dried.  IS 
Noah  goeth  forth  of  the  ark,  20 
buildeth  an  altar,  and  offereth  sac- 
rifice. 21  God  promieeth  to  curse 
the  earth  no  more. 

AND  God  remembered  Nd'ah, 
and  every  living  thing,  and 
all  the  cattle  that  was  with  him 
in  the  ark:  and  God  made  a  wind 
to  pass  over  the  earth,  and  the 
waters  asswaged; 

2  The  fountains  also  of  the 
deep  and  the  windows  of  heaven 
were  stopped,  and  the  rain  from 
heaven  was  restrained ; 

3  And  the  waters  returned 
from  off  the  earth  continually : 
and  after  the  end  of  the  hun- 
dred and  fifty  days  the  waters 
were  abated. 

4  And  the  ark  rested  in  the 
seventh  month,  on  the  seven- 
teenth day  of  the  month,  upon 
the  mountains  of  Ar'a-rSt. 

5  And  the  waters  decreased 
continually  until  the  tenth 
month :  in  the  tenth  month,  on 
the  first  day  of  the  month, were 
the  tops  of  the  mountains  seen. 


6  HAnd  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  forty  days,  that  No'ah 
opened  the  window  of  the  ark 
which  he  had  made : 

7  And  he  sent  forth  a  raven, 
which  went  forth  to  and  fro* 
until  the  waters  were  dried  up 
from  off  the  earth. 

8  Also  he  sent  forth  a  dove 
from  him,  to  see  if  the  waters 
were  abated  from  off  the  face  of 
the  ground ; 

9  But  the  dove  found  no  rest 
for  the  sole  of  her  foot,  and  she 
returned  unto  him  into  the  ark, 
for  the  waters  were  on  the  face 
of  the  whole  earth : .  then  he 

ut  forth  his  hand,  and  took 
ler,  and  pulled  her  in  unto  him 
into  the  ark. 

10  And  he  stayed  yet  other 
seven  days ;  and  again  he  sent 
forth  the  dove  out  of  the  ark ; 

11  And  the  dove  came  in  to 
him  in  the  evening;  and,  lo,  in 
her  mouth  was  an  olive  leaf 
pluckt  off :  so  NS'ah  knew  that 
the  waters  were  abated  from  off 
the  earth. 

12  And  he  stayed  yet  other 
seven  days ;  and  sent  forth  the 
dove ;  which  returned  not  again 
unto  him  any  more. 

13  IFAnd  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
six  hundredth  and  first  year,- in 
the  first  month,  the  first  day 
of  the  month,  the  waters  were 
dried  up  from  off  the  earth: 
and  No  ah  removed  the  cover- 
ins  of  the  ark,  and  looked,  and, 
behold,  the  face  of  the  ground 
was  dry. 

14  And  in  the  second  month, 
on  the  seven  and  twentieth 
day  of  the  month,  was  the  earth 
dried. 

15  IFAnd  God  spake  unto  No'ah, 
saying, 

16  Go  forth  of  the  ark,  thou, 
and  thy  wife,  and  thy  sons,  and 
thy  sons'  wives  with  thee. 

17  Bring  forth  with  thee  every 
living  thing  that  is  with  thee, 
of  all  flesh,  ooth  of  fowl,  and  of 
cattle,  and  of  every  creeping 
thing  that  creepeth  upon  the 
earth;  that  they  may  breed 
abundantly  in  the  earth,  and  be 
fruitful,  and  multiply  upon  the 
earth. 

18  And  No'ah  went  forth,  and 
his  sons,  and  his  wife,  and  his 
sons'  wives  with  him ;      .  • 

19  Every  beast,  every  creeping 
thing,  and  every  fowl,  and  what- 
soever creepeth  upon  the  earth, 
after  their  kinds,  went  forth  out 
of  the  ark. 

20  HAnd  NS'ah  builded  an  al- 
tar unto  the  Lord;  and  took  of 
every  clean  beast,  and  of  every

CHAPTER  9 

God blesseth  Noah.  4  Blood  and  mur- 
der are  forbidden.  8  God's  cove- 
nant, 13  signified  by  the  rainbow. 

23  Noah  is  drunken,  and  mocked 
by  Ham :  25  he  pronounoeth  a  curse 
on  Canaan,  and  blessings  on  Shem 
and  on  Japheth:  29  he  dieth. 

AND  God  blessed  Nd'ah  and 
his  sons,  and  said  unto 
them,  Be  fruitful,  and  multiply, 
and  replenish  the  earth. 

2  And  the  fear  of  you  and  the 
dread  of  you  shall  be  upon  every 
beast  of  the  earth,  and  upon 
every  fowl  of  the  air,  upon  all 
that  moveth  upon  the  earth, 
and  upon  all  the  fishes  of  the 
sea;  into  your  hand  are  they 
delivered. 

3  Every  moving  thing  that 
liveth  shall  be  meat  for  you; 
even  as  the  green  herb  have  I 
given  you  all  things. 

4  But  flesh  with  the  life  there- 
of, which  is  the  blood  thereof, 
shall  ye  not  eat 

5  And  surely  your  blood   of 

Sour  lives  will  I  require ;  at  the 
and  of  every  beast  will  I  re- 
quire it,  and  at  the  hand  of 
man;  at  the  hand  of  every 
man's  brother  will  I  require  the 
life  of  man. 

6  Whoso  sheddeth  man's  blood, 
by  man  shall  his  blood  be  shed : 
for  in  the  image  of  God  made 
he  man. 

7  And  you,  be  ye  fruitful,  and 
multiply;  bring  forth  abundant- 
ly in  the  earth,  and  multiply 
therein. 

8  IF  And  God  spake  unto  Nd'ah, 
and  to  his  sons  with  him,  saying, 

9  And  I,  behold,  I  establish  my 
covenant  with  you,  and  witn 
your  seed  after  you ; 

10  And  with  every  living  crea- 
ture that  is  with  you,  of  the 
fowl,  of  the  cattle,  and  of  every 
beast  of  the  earth  with  you; 
from  all  that  go  out  of  the  ark, 
to  every  beast  of  the  earth. 

11  And  I  will  establish  my  cov- 
enant with  you;  neither  shall 


shall  there  any  more  be  a  flood 
to  destroy  the  earth. 

12  And  God  said,  This  is  the 
token  of  the  covenant  which 
make  between  me  and  you  and 
every  living  creature  that  is 
with  you,  for  perpetual  genera- 
tions: 

13  I  do  set  my  bow  in  the 
cloud,  and  it  shall  be  for  a  token 
of  a  covenant  between  me  and 
the  earth. 

14  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  I  bring  a  cloud  over  the 
earth,  that  the  bow  shall  be 
seen  in  the  cloud : 

15  And  I  will  remember  my 
covenant,  which  is  between  me 
and  you  and  every  living  crea- 
ture of  all  flesh ;  and  the  waters 
shall  no  more  become  a  flood  to 
destroy  all  flesh, 

16  And  the  bow  shall  be  in  the 
cloud ;  and  I  will  look  upon  it, 
that  I  may  remember  the  ever- 
lasting covenant  between  God 
and  every  living  creature  of  all 
flesh  that  is  upon  the  earth, 

17  And  God  said  unto  Nd'ah, 
This  is  the  token  of  the  cove- 
nant, which  I  have  established 
between  me  and  all  flesh  that 
is  upon  the  earth. 

18  HAnd  the  sons  of  Nd'ah, 
that  went  forth  of  the  ark,  were 
Shem,  and  H&m,  and  Ja'pheth 
and  Ham  is  the  father  of  CS'- 
nflan. 

19  These  are  the  three  sons 
of  Nd'ah :  and  of  them  was  the 
whole  earth  overspread. 

20  HAnd  Nd'ah  began  to  be  an 
husbandman,  and  he  planted  a 
vineyard 

21  And  he  drank  of  the  wine, 
and  was  drunken ;  and  he  was 
uncovered  within  his  tent 

22  And  HSm,  the  father  of 
Ca'naan,  saw  the  nakedness  of 
his  father,  and  told  his  two 
brethren  without 

23  And  Shem  and  Ja'pheth 
took  a  garment,  and  laid  it  up- 
on both  their  shoulders,  and 
went  backward,  and  covered  the 
nakedness  of  their  father;  and 
their  faces  were  backward,  and 
they  saw  not  their  father's  na- 
kedness. 

24  And  Nd'ah  awoke  from  his 
wine,  and  knew  what  his  young- 
er son  had  done  unto  him. 

25  And  he  said,  Cursed  be 
Ca'naan ;  a  servant  of  servant's 
shall  he  be  unto  his  brethren. 

26  And  he  said,  Blessed  be  the 
Lord  God  of  Shem;  and  Ca'- 
naan shall  be  his  servant 

27  God  shall  enlarge  Ja'pheth, 
all  flesh  be  cut  off  any  more  by  land  he  shall  dwell  in  the  tents

28  And  Nd'ah  lived  after  the 
flood  three  hundred  and  fifty 
years. 

29  And  all  the  days  of  Nd'ah 
were  nine  hundred  and  fifty 
years :  and  he  died. 

CHAPTER  10 
The  generation*  of  Noah.  2  The  sons 
ofjapheth,  6  and  of  Ham.  8  Nim- 
rod the  first  monarch.  15  The  de- 
fendant* of  Canaan.  21  The  eon* 
ofShem. 

NOW  these  are  the  genera- 
tions of  the  sons  of  Nd'ah, 
Shem,  Him,  and  Ja'pheth :  and 
unto  them  were  sons  born  after 
the  flood. 

2  The  sons  of  Jfi'pheth ;  Go'- 
mer,  and  M&'gdg,  and  M&d'a-i, 
and  Ji'van,  and  Tu/bal,  and 
Me~shech,  and  TTras. 

3  And  the  sons  of  Gd'mer; 
AshTce-naz,  and  RTphgth,  and 
T5-gaVmah. 

4  And  the  sons  of  J&'vfin; 
fi-li'shah,  and  TaTshish,  Kit'- 
tim,  and  Dd'da-nlm. 

5  By  these  were  the  isles  of 
the  Gen'tilea  divided  in  their 
lands;  every  one  after  his 
tongue,  after  their  families,  in 
their  nations. 

6  HAnd  the  sons  of  Ham;  Cush, 
and  Mlz'ra-im,  and  Phut,  and 
Ca'naan. 

7  And  the  sons  of  Cush;  STba, 
and  HaVMah,  and  S&b'tah,  and 
Ra^a-mah,  and  S&b'te-chah :  and 
the  sons  of  Ra'a-mah;  Shg'ba, 
and  De'dan. 

8  And  Cush  begat  NIm'rOd :  he 
began  to  be  a  mighty  one  in  the 
earth. 

9  He  was  a  mighty  hunter  be- 
fore the  Lord  :  wherefore  it  is 
said,  Even  as  Nlm'rdd  the 
mighty  hunter  before  the  Lord. 

10  And  the  beginning  of  his 
kingdom  was  Barbel,  and  E'rech, 
and  Ac'cfid,  and  CaTneh,  in  the 
land  of  Shi'nar. 

11  Out  of  that  land  went  forth 
As'shur,  and  builded  Nln'e-veh, 
and  the  city  Re-hB'both,  and 
Cilah, 

12  And  Re'sen  between  Nin'e- 
veh  and  C&lah :  the  same  is  a 
great  city. 

13  And  Miz'ra-im  begat  Lu'- 
dim,  and  An'a-mim,  and  L€"ha- 
Mm,  and  Naph'tu-hlm, 

14  And  Path-ru'sim,  and  CaY- 
lu-hlm,  (out  of  whom  came  Phi- 
tis'tim,)  and  Caph'tfr-rim. 

15  If  And  Ca'naan  begat  Si'dCn 
his  firstborn,  and  HSth, 

16  And  the  JeVu-site,  and  the 
Am'dr-ite,  and  the  Gir'ga-Bite, 

17  And  the  Hi'vite,  and  the 
Arklte,  and  the  Sinlte, 


18  And  the  ArVad-ite,  and  the 
Zem'a-rite,  and  the  Ha'math4te: 
and  afterward  were  the  fami- 
lies of  the  Ca'n&an-ites  spread 
abroad. 

19  And  the  border  of  the  Ca'- 
naan-ites was  from  Si'ddn.  as 
thou  comest  to  Ge'rar,  unto 
Ga'za ;  as  thou  goest,  unto  S6d'- 
om,  and  Gd-moVrah,  and  Ad'- 
mah,  and  Ze-bd'im,  even  unto 
La'sha. 

20  These  are  the  sons  of  Ham, 
after  their  families,  after  their 
tongues,  in  their  countries,  and 
in  their  nations. 

21  TOntoShem  also,  the  father 
of  all  the  children  of  E'ber,  the 
brother  of  Jfi'pheth  the  elder, 
even  to  him  were  children 
born. 

22  The  children  of  Sh£m; 
Elam,  and  As'shur,  and  Ar- 
phar'ad,  and  Lfid,  and  A'ram. 

23  And  the  children  of  A'ram ; 
Oz,  and  Hill,  and  GS'ther,  and 
Mash. 

24  And  Ar-ph&x'ad  begat  Sa'- 
lah ;  and  Saiah  begat  ET>e*r. 

25  And  unto  ET^r  were  born 
two  sons :  the  name  of  one  was 
Peleg ;  for  in  his  days  was  the 
earth  divided ;  and  his  brother's 
name  was  JSk'tan. 

26  And  Jftk'tan  begat  Al-m6'- 
dad,  and  Sheleph,  and  Ha-xar- 
ma'veth,  and  Jfi'r&h, 

27  And  Ha-dC'ram,  and  C'sal, 
and  Dik'lah, 

28  And  01*1,  and  A-blm'a-el, 
and  Shg'ba, 

29  And  O'phir,  and  HaVi-lah, 
and  JO'bfib :  all  these  were  the 
sons  of  JCk'tan. 

30  And  their  dwelling  was  from 
Me'sha,  as  thou  goest  unto  SS'- 
phar  a  mount  of  the  east 

31  These  are  the  sons  of  ShSm, 
after  their  families,  after  their 
tongues,  in  their  lands,  after 
their  nations. 

32  These  are  the  families  of 
the  sons  of  Nd'ah,  after  their 
generations,  in  their  nations: 
and  by  these  were  the  nations 
divided  in  the  earth  after  the 
flood.

other,  Go  to,  let  us  make  brick, 
and  burn  them  throughly.  And 
they  had  brick  for  stone,  and 
slime  had  they  for  morter. 

4  And  they  said,  Go  to,  let  us 
build  us  a  city  and  a  tower,whose 
top  may  reach  unto  heaven; 
and  let  us  make  us  a  name,  lest 
we  be  scattered  abroad  upon  the 
face  of  the  whole  earth. 

5  And  the  Lord  came  down  to 
see  the  city  and  the  tower,which 
the  children  of  men  builded. 

6  And  the  Lord  said,  Behold, 
the  people  t0>one,  and  they  have 
all  one  language;  and  this  they 
begin  to  do :  and  now  nothing 
will  be  restrained  from  them, 
which  they  have  imagined  to  do. 

7  Go  to,  let  us  go  down,  and 
there  confound  their  language, 
that  they  may  not  understand 
one  another's  speech* 

8  So  the  Lord  scattered  them 
abroad  from  thence  upon  the 
face  of  all  the  earth :  and  they 
left  off  to  build  the  city. 

9  Therefore  is  the  name  of  it 
called  Barbel ;  because  the  Lord 
did  there  confound  the  lan- 
guage of  all  the  earth :  and  from 
thence  did  the  Lord  scatter 
them  abroad  upon  the  face  of 
all  the  earth. 

10  IFThese  are  the  genera- 
tions of  Shem:  Shem  was  an 
hundred  years  old,  and  begat 
Ar-phax'ad  two  years  after  the 
flood: 

11  And  Shem  lived  after  he 
begat  Ar-phax'ad  five  hundred 
years,  and  begat  sons  and 
daughters. 

12  And  Ar-phax'ad  lived  five 
and  thirty  years,  and  begat  Sa'-

13  And  Ar-phax'ad  lived  after 
he  begat  Salah  four  hundred

14  And  Salah  lived  thirty

15  And  Salah  lived  after  he

19  And  Peleg  lived  after  he

nine  years,  and  begat  sons  and 
daughters. 

20  And  Re'u  lived  two  and 
thirty  years,  and  begat  Se'rug: 


begat  Se^rug  two  hundred  and 
seven  years,  and  begat  sons  and 
daughters. 

22  And  STrug  lived  thirty 
years,  and  begat  NaTior 

23  And  Se'rug  lived  after  he 
begat  Na'hdr  two  hundred  years, 
and  begat  sons  and  daughters. 

24  And  Na'hdr  lived  nine  and 
twenty  years,  and  begat  Te'rah : 

25  And  Na'hdr  lived  after  he 
begat  Te'rah  an  hundred  and 
nineteen  years,  and  begat  sons 
and  daughters. 

26  And  Te'rah  lived  seventy 
years,  and  begat  A'bram,  Na'hdr, 
and  Ha'ran. 

27  UNow  these  are  the  gener- 
ations of  Te'rah:  Te'rah  begat 
A'bram,  Na'hdr,  and  Ha'ran; 
and  Ha'ran  begat  LOt 

28  And  Ha'ran  died  before  his 
father  Te'rah  in  the  land  of  his 
nativity,  in  Or  of  the  Chal'deea, 

29  And  A'bram  and  Na'hdr 
took  them  wives :  the  name  of 
A'brdm's  wife  was  Sa'rai ;  and 
the  name  of  NalioVs  wife,  Mil' 
cah,  the  daughter  of  Ha'ran,  the 
father  of  Mircah,  and  the  father 
of  Is'cah. 

30  But  Sa'rai  was  barren ;  she 
had  no  child. 

31  And  Te'rah  took  A'bram  his 
son,  and  Ldt  the  son  of  Ha'ran 
his  son's  son,  and  Sa'rai  his 
daughter  in  law,  his  son 
Al>ram's  wife;  and  they  went 
forth  with  them  from  Or  of  the 
ChSl'dees,  to  go  into  the  land 
of  Ca'naan ;  and  they  came  un- 
to Ha'ran,  and  dwelt  there. 

32  And  the  days  of  Te'rah 
were  two  hundred  and  five 
years:  and  Te'rah  died  in  Ha'- 
ran. 

CHAPTER  12 

God  ealleth  Abram,  and  blesseth  him 
with  a  promiae  of  Christ :  4  he  de- 
parts from  Haran.  6  Canaan 
promised, 

NOW  the  Lord  had  said  un- 
to A'bram,  Get  thee  out  of 
thy  country,  and  from  thy  kin- 
dred, and  from  thy  father's 
house,  unto  a  land  that  I  will 
shew  thee : 

2  And  I  will  make  of  thee  a 
great  nation,  and  I  will  bless 
thee,  and  make  thy  name  great ; 
and  thou  shalt  be  a  blessing: 

3  And  I  will  bless  them  that 
bless  thee,  and  curse  him  that 
curseth  thee :  and  in  thee  shall 
all  families  of  the  earth  be 
blessed. 

4  So  A'bram  departed,  as  the 
Lord  had  spoken  unto  him ;  and 
Ldt  went  with  him :  and  A'bram 
was  seventy  and  five  years  old

5  And  A'brftm  took  Sa'ral  his 
wife,  and  Ldt  his  brother's  son, 
and  all  their  substance  that 
they  had  gathered,  and  the 
souls  that  they  had  gotten  in 
Ha'ran ;  and  they  went  forth  to 
go  into  the  land  of  Ca'n&an; 
and  into  the  land  of  C&'n&an 
they  came. 

6  f  And  A'bram  passed  through 
the  land  unto  the  place  of  ST- 
chem,  unto  the  plain  of  Mo'reh. 
And  the  Ca'n&an-ite  was  then 
in  the  land. 

7  And  the  Lord  appeared  un- 
to AT>rfim,  and  said,  Unto  thy 
seed  will  I  give  this  land :  and 
there  builded  he  an  altar  unto 
the  Lord,  who  appeared  unto 
him. 

8  And  he  removed  from  thence 
unto  a  mountain  on  the  east  of 
B€th'-el,  and  pitched  his  tent, 
having  B€th'-el  on  the  west, 
and  Hal  on  the  east :  and  there 
he  builded  an  altar  unto  the 
Lord,  and  called  upon  the  name 
of  the  Lord. 

9  And  A'bram  journeyed,  go- 
ing on  still  toward  the  south. 

10  HAnd  there  was  a  famine 
in  the  land:  and  A'br&m  went 
down  into  Cgjrpt  to  sojourn 
there;  for  the  famine  was  griev- 
ous in  the  land. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  was  come  near  to  enter  into 
E'gfpt,  that  he  said  unto  Si'rti 
his  wife,  Behold  now,  I  know 
that  thou  art  a  fair  woman  to 
look  upon : 

12  Therefore  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  when  the  E-gyp'tiang  shall 
see  thee,  that  they  shall  sav, 
This  is  his  wife :  and  they  will 
kill  me,  but  they  will  save  thee 
alive. 

13  Say,  I  pray  thee,  thou  art 
my  sister :  that  it  may  be  well 
with  me  for  thy  sake ;  and  my 
soul  shall  live  because  of  thee. 

14  f  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  A'bram  was  come  into 
B^pt,  the  fi-fcyp'tians  beheld 
the  woman  that  she  was  very 
fair. 

15  The  princes  also  of  Ph&'- 
raoh  saw  her,  and  commended 
her  before  Pha'raSh:  and  the 
woman  was  taken  into  Pha"- 
raSh's  house. 

16  And  he  entreated  A'bram 
well  for  her  sake :  and  he  had 
sheep,  and  oxen,  and  he  asses, 
and  menservants,  and  maidserv- 
ants, and  she  asses,  and  camels. 

17  And  the  Lord  plagued 
Pha'raoh  and  his  house  with 
great  plagues  because  of  Sa'rai 
A'br&m's  wife. 

18  AndPhi'radh  called  A'bram, 


and  said,  What  is  this  that  thou 
hast  done  unto  me?  why  didst 
thou  not  tell  me  that  she  was 
thy  wife? 

19  Why  saidst  thou,  She  is  my 
sister?  so  I  might  have  taken 
her  to  me  to  wife :  now  there- 
fore behold  thy  wife,  take  her, 
and  go  thy  way. 

20  And  Pha'raoh  commanded 
his  men  concerning  him :  and 
they  sent  him  away,  and  his 
wife,  and  all  that  he  had. 

CHAPTER  13 

Abram  and  Lot  return  from  Egypt 
7  they  part  asunder.    10  Lot  goes 
to  Sodom.     14   God's  promise  re- 
newed to  Abram.    18  He  goeth  to 
Hebron,  and  there  builds  an  altar. 

AND  A'bram  went  up  out  of 
E'&rpt,  he,  and  his  wife, 


and  all  that  he  had,  and  L5t 
with  him,  into  the  south. 

2  And  A'bram  was  very  rich 
in  cattle,  in  silver,  and  in  gold. 

3  And  he  went  on  his  journeys 
from  the  south  even  to  feth'-el, 
unto  the  place  where  his  tent 
had  been  at  the  beginning,  be- 
tween Beth'^el  and  Hal; 

4  Unto  the  place  of  the  altar, 
which  he  had  made  there  at  the 
first:  and  there  A'bram  called 
on  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

5  HAnd  L5t  also,  which  went 
with  A'bram,  had  flocks,  and 
herds,  and  tents. 

6  And  the  land  was  not  able  to 
bear  them,  that  they  might 
dwell  together:  for  their  sub- 
stance was  great,  so  that  they 
could  not  dwell  together. 

7  And  there  was  a  strife  be- 
tween the  herdmen  of  A'brfim's 
cattle  and  the  herdmen  of  Ldt's 
cattle :  and  the  Ca'n&an-lte  and 
the  Perlz-zite  dwelled  then  in 
the  land. 

8  And  A'bram  said  unto  LCt, 
Let  there  be  no  strife,  I  pray 
thee,  between  me  and  thee,  and 
between  mv  herdmen  and  thy 
herdmen ;  for  we  be  brethren. 

9  Is  not  the  whole  land  before 
thee?  separate  thyself,  I  pray 
thee,  from  me:  if  thou  wilt 
take  the  left  hand,  then  I  will 
go  to  the  right;  or  if  thou  de- 
part to  the  right  hand,  then  I 
will  go  to  the  left 

10  And  Ldt  lifted  up  his  eyes, 
and  beheld  all  the  plain  of  Jdr'- 
dan,  that  it  was  well  watered 
every  where,  before  the  Lord 
destroyed  S6d'om  and  Gd-mdr'- 
rah,  even  as  the  garden  of  the 
Lord,  like  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
as  thou  comest  unto  Zd'ar. 

11  Then  L5t  chose  him  all  the 
plain  of  J6rMan ;  and  L5t  jour- 
neyed east :  and  they  separated

other. 

12  A'brfim  dwelled  in  the  land 
of  Ca'n&an,  and  Ldt  dwelled  in 
the  cities  of  the  plain,  and 
pitched  his  tent  toward  Sdd'om. 

13  But  the  men  of  Sdd'om 
were  wicked  and  sinners  before 
the  Lord  exceedingly. 

14  HAnd  the  Lord  said  unto 
A'br&m,  after  that  Ldt  was  sep- 
arated from  him.  Lift  up  now 
thine  eves,  and  look  from  the 
place  where  thou  art  northward, 
and  southward,  and  eastward, 
and  westward : 

15  For  all  the  land  which  thou 
seest,  to  thee  will  I  give  it,  and 
to  thy  seed  for  ever. 

16  And  I  will  make  thy  seed  as 
the  dust  of  the  earth :  so  that  if 
a  man  can  number  the  dust  of 
the  earth,  then  shall  thy  seed 
also  be  numbered. 

17  Arise,  walk  through  the 
land  in  the  length  of  it  and  in 
the  breadth  of  it ;  for  I  will  give 
it  unto  thee. 

18  Then  A1ir5m  removed  his 
tent,  and  came  and  dwelt  in  the 
plain  of  M&m're,  which  is  in 
Helnron,  and  built  there  an  al- 
tar unto  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  14 

The  battle  of  four  kings  against  five. 
12  Lot  taken  prisoner,  14  is  rescued 
by  Abram.  18  Melchixedek  blessetk 
Abram:    20    Abram    giveth    him 


AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
days  of  Am'ra-pnel  king  of 
Shi'nar,  A'ri-och  king  of  Ella- 
sar,  ChSd-or-la'o-mer  king  of 
£Tam,  and  Ti'dal  king  of  na- 
tions ; 

2  That  these  made  war  with 
Be'ra  king  of  Sdd'om,  and  with 
Bir'sha  king  of  Gd-mdr-rah,  Shi' 
n&b  king  of  Ad'mah,  and  ShSm- 
e'ber  king  of  Ze-boi'im,  and  the 
king  of  Bela,  which  is  Zd'ar. 

3  All  these  were  joined  to- 
gether in  the  vale  of  Sid'dim, 
which  is  the  salt  sea. 

4  Twelve  years  they  served 
Chgd-or-lS'o-mer,  and  in  the  thir- 
teenth year  they  rebelled. 

5  And  in  the  fourteenth  year 
came  ChSd-or-l&Vmer,  and  the 
kings  that  were  with  him,  and 
smote  the  Reph'a-lms  in  Ash'tS- 
rdth  Kar-na'im,  and  the  Zu'zims. 
in  Him,  and  the  E'mimg  in  Sha' 
veh  Kir-i-a-tha'im, 

6  And  the  Hd'rites  in  their 
mount  Sdlr,  unto  fil-pa'ran, 
which  is  by  the  wilderness. 

7  And  they  returned,  and  came 
to  En-mish'pat,  which  is  Ka'- 
desh,  and  smote  all  the  country 
of  the  Am'a-ldk-ites,  and  also 


the  Am'dr-ites,  that  dwelt  in 
Haye-zon-tfi'mar. 

8  And  there  went  out  the  king 
of  Sdd'om,  and  the  king  of  G6- 
mftr'rah,  and  the  king  of  Ad'- 
mah, and  the  king  of  Ze-bdTim, 
and  the  king  of  Be'la  (the  same 
is  Zd'ar;)  and  they  joined  bat- 
tle with  them  in  the  vale  of 
Sid'dim; 

9  With  Chgd-or-lfi'o-mer  the 
king  of  Elam,  and  with  Ti'dal 
king  of  nations,  and  Am'ra-phel 
king  of  Shi'nar,  and  A'ri-dch 
king  of  £ria-sar;  four  kings 
with  five. 

10  And  the  vale  of  Sid'dim 
was  Jull  of  slimepits;  and  the 
kings  of  Sdd'om  and  Gd-mdr'rah 
fled,  and  fell  there;  and  they 
that  remained  fled  to  the  moun- 
tain. 

11  And  they  took  all  the  goods 
of  Sdd'om  and  Gd-mdr'rah,  and 
all  their  victuals,  and  went  their 
way. 

12  And  they  took  Ldt,  A'brftm's 
brother's  son,  who  dwelt  in  Sdd' 
om,  and  his  goods,  and  departed. 

13  HAnd  there  came  one  that 
had  escaped,  and  told  A'br&m 
the  He'brew;  for  he  dwelt  in 
the  plain  of  M&m'rS  the  Am'dr- 
Ite,  brother  of  Esh'cdl,  and 
brother  of  A'ner:  and  these 
were  confederate  with  A'br&m. 

14  And  when  A'br&m  heard 
that  his  brother  was  taken  cap- 
tive, he  armed  his  trained  serv- 
ants, born  in  his  own  bouse, 
three  hundred  and  eighteen, 
and  pursued  them  unto  Dan 

15  And  he  divided  himself 
against  them,  he  and  his  serv- 
ants, by  night,  and  smote  them, 
and  pursued  them  unto  Hd'bah, 
which  is  on  the  left  hand  of 
Da-m&s'cus. 

16  And  he  brought  back  all  the 

goods,  and  also  brought  again 
is  brother  Ldt,  and  his  goods, 
and  the  women  also,  and  the 
people. 

17  HAnd  the  king  of  Sdd'om 
went  out  to  meet  him  after  his 
return  from  the  slaughter  of 
Ched-or-i&'o-mer,  and  of  the 
kings  that  were  with  him,  at 
the  valley  of  Sha'veh,  which  is 
the  king's  dale. 

18  And  Mel-chlzVdgk  king  of 
Salem  brought  forth  bread  and 
wine :  and  he  was  the  priest  of 
the  most  high  God. 

19  And  he  blessed  him,  and 
said,  Blessed  be  A'br&m  of  the 
most  high  God,  possessor  of 
heaven  and  earth : 

20  And  blessed  be  the  most 
high  God,  which  hath  delivered 
thine  enemies  into  thy  hand.  I

And  he  gave  him  tithes  of  all. 

21  And  the  king  of  Sdd'om 
said  unto  A'bram,  Give  me  the 
persons,  and  take  the  goods  to 
thyself. 

22  And  A1>rfim  said  to  the 
king  of  S5d'om,  I  have  lift  up 
mine  hand  unto  the  Lord,  the 
most  high  God,  the  possessor  of 
heaven  and  earth, 

23  That  I  will  not  take  from 
a  thread  even  to  a  shoelatchet, 
and  that  I  will  not  take  any 
thing  that  is  thine,  lest  thou 
shouldest  say,  I  have  made 
A'bram  rich : 

24  Save  only  that  which  the 
young  men  have  eaten,  and  the 
portion  of  the  men  which  went 
with  me,  A'ner,  fish'cdl,  and 
MSm'r£;  let  them  take  their 
portion. 

CHAPTER  15 
God  ene&urageth  Abram :  4  promiseth 
him  a  son  and  a  numerous  seed  :  6 
he  is  justified  by  faith.  7  Canaan 
is  again  promised,  and  confirmed 
by  a  sign  and  a  vision. 

AFTER  these  things  the 
word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  A'bram  in  a  vision,  saying, 
Fear  not,  A'bram:  I  am  thy 
shield,  and  thy  exceeding  great 
reward. 

2  And  A'bram  said,  Lord  God, 
what  wilt  thou  give  me,  seeing 
I  go  childless,  and  the  steward 
of  my  house  is  this  £*li-€'ze*r  of 
Da-mas'cus? 

3  And  A'bram  said,  Behold,  to 
me  thou  hast  given  no  seed 
and,  lo,  one  born  in  my  house 
is  mine  heir. 

4  And,  behold,  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  him,  saying, 
This  shall  not  be  thine  heir; 
but  he  that  shall  come  forth  out 
of  thine  own  bowels  shall  be 
thine  heir. 

5  And  he  brought  him  forth 
abroad,  and  said,  Look  now  to- 
ward heaven,  and  tell  the  stars, 
if  thou  be  able  to  number  them : 
and  he  said  unto  him,  So  shall 
thy  seed  be. 

6  And  he  believed  in  the  Lord; 
and  he  counted  it  to  him  for 
righteousness. 

7  And  he  said  unto  him,  I  am 
the  Lord  that  brought  thee  out 
of  Or  of  the  ChaTdeeg,  to  give 
thee  this  land  to  inherit  it 

8  And  he  said,  Lord  God, 
whereby  shall  I  know  that  I 
shall  inherit  it  ? 

9  And  he  said  unto  him,  Take 
me  an  heifer  of  three  years  old, 
and  a  she  goat  of  three  years 
old,  and  a  ram  of  three  years 
old,  and  a  turtledove,  and  a 


young  pigeon. 
10  And  he  t< 


took  unto  him  all 


these,  and  divided  them  in  the 
midst,  and  laid  each  piece  one 
against  another:  but  the  birds 
divided  he  not. 

11  And  when  the  fowls  came 
down  upon  the  carcases,  A'bram 
drove  them  away. 

12  And  when  the  sun  was  go- 
ing down,  a  deep  sleep  fell  upon 
A'bram;  and,  lo,  an  horror  of 
great  darkness  fell  upon  him. 

13  And  he  said  unto  A'bram, 
Know  of  a  surety  that  thy  seed 
shall  be  a  stranger  in  a  land 
that  is  not  theirs,  and  shall 
serve  them ;  and  they  shall  af- 
flict them  four  hundred  years ; 

14  And  also  that  nation,  whom 
they  shall  serve,  will  I  judge: 
and  afterward  shall  they  come 
out  with  great  substance. 

15  And  thou  shalt  go  to  thy 
fathers  in  peace ;  thou  shalt  be 
buried  in  a  good  old  age. 

16  But  in  the  fourth  genera- 
tion they  shall  come  hither 
again:  for  the  iniquity  of  the 
Am'dr-ites  is  not  yet  full 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  the  sun  went  down,  and 
it  was  dark,  behold  a  smoking 
furnace,  and  a  burning  lamp 
that  passed  between  those 
pieces. 

18  In  the  same  day  the  Lord 
made  a  covenant  with  A'bram, 
saying,  Unto  thy  seed  have  I 
given  this  land,  from  the  river 
of  E^pt  unto  the  great  river, 
the  river  Eu-phrS'tes. : 

19  The  KSnltes,  and  the  Ken 
iz-zites,  and  the  Kfid'mon-ites, 

20  And  the  Hlf  tites,  and  the 
P€i/iz-zites,  and  the  RSph'a-Ims, 

21  And  the  Am'dr-ites,  and  the 
Ca'naan-ites,  and  the  Gir'ga- 
shites,  and  the  Jgb'u-sltes. 

CHAPTER  16 

Sarai,  being  barren,  giveth  Hagar  to 
Abram.  6  Hagar  Jleeth  from  her 
mistress,  9  is  sent  back  by  an  angel 
to  submit  to  her.  15  Ishmael  is  born. 

NOW  Sa'rai  A'bram's  wife 
bare  him  no  children :  and 
she  had  an  handmaid,  an  £-£?p'- 
tian,  whose  name  was  Ha'gar. 

2  And  Sa'rSi  said  unto  A'bram, 
Behold  now,  the  Lord  hath  re- 
strained me  from  bearing:  I 
pray  thee,  go  in  unto  my  maid ; 
it  may  be  that  I  mav  obtain 
children  by  her.  And  A'bram 
hearkened  to  the  voice  of  Sa'rai. 

3  And  Sa'rai  A^ranTs  wife 
took  Ha'gar  her  maid  the  £-gyp' 
tian,  after  A'bram  had  dwelt  ten 
years  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan, 
and  gave  her  to  her  husband 
A'bram  to  be  his  wife. 

4  And  he  went  in  unto  Ha'gar, 
and  she  conceived:  and  when

she  saw  that  she  had  conceived, 
her  mistress  was  despised  in  her 
eyes. 

5  And  Sa'rai  said  unto  A'br&m, 
My  wrong  be  upon  thee :  I  have 
given  my  maid  into  thy  bosom ; 
and  when  she  saw  that  she  had 
conceived,  I  was  despised  in  her 
eyes :  the  Lord  judge  between 
me  and  thee. 

6  But  Al>rfim  said  unto  Sa'rai, 
Behold,  thy  maid  is  in  thy 
hand ;  do  to  her  as  it  pleaseth 
thee.  And  when  Sa'rai  dealt 
hardly  with  her,  she  fled  from 
her  face. 

7  f  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
found  her  by  a  fountain  of  water 
in  the  wilderness,  by  the  foun- 
tain in  the  way  to  Shur. 

8  And  he  said,  Ha'gar,  Sa'rai's 
maid,  whence  earnest  thou? 
and  whither  wilt  thou  go  ?  And 
she  said.  I  flee  from  the  face  of 
my  mistress  Sa'rai. 

9  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  her,  Return  to  thy 
mistress,  and  submit  thyself 
under  her  hands. 

10  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  her,  I  will  multiply 
tby  seed  exceedingly,  that  it 
shall  not  be  numbered  for  mul- 
titude. 

11  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  her,  Behold,  thou  art 
with  child,  and  shalt  bear  a  son, 
and  shalt  call  his  name  Ish'ma- 
el;  because  the  Lord  hath  heard 
thy  affliction. 

12  And  he  will  be  a  wild  man ; 
his  hand  will  be  against  every 
man,  and  every  man's  hand 
against  him ;  and  he  shall  dwell 
in  the  presence  of  all  his  breth- 
ren. 

13  And  she  called  the  name  of 
the  Lord  that  spake  unto  her, 
Thou  God  seest  me:  for  she 
said,  Have  I  also  here  looked 
after  him  that  seeth  me? 

14  Wherefore  the  well  was 
called  Bg'er-la-hai'-roi ;  behold, 
it  is  between  Ka'desh  and  Bea- 
red. 

15  IfAnd  Ha'gar  bare  A'br&m 
a  son:  and  AT>r&m  called  his 
son's  name,  which  H&'gar  bare, 
Ish'ma-eL 

16  And  A'br&m  was  fourscore 
and  six  years  old,  when  Ha'gar 
bare  Ish'ma-el  to  A'br&m. 

CHAPTER  17 

The  covenant  is  renewed.  5  Abram's 
name  changed.  9  Circumcieion  in- 
stituted, lb  Isaac  with  a  numerous 
issue  is  promised. 

AND  when  A'br&m  was  ninety 
years  old  and  nine,  the 
Lord  appeared  to  A'br&m,  and 
said  unto  him,  I  am  the  Al- 


mighty God;  walk  before  me, 
and  be  thou  perfect 

2  And  I  will  make  my  cove- 
nant between  me  and  thee,  and 
will  multiply  thee  exceedingly. 

3  And  Al)r&m  fell  on  his  face : 
and  God  talked  with  him,  say- 
ing, 

4  As  for  me,  behold,  my  cov- 
enant is  with  thee,  and  thou 
shalt  be  a  father  of  many  na- 
tions. 

5  Neither  shall  thy  name  any 
more  be  called  A'br&m,  but  thy 
name  shall  be  A'br&-h&m ;  for  a 
father  of  many  nations  have  I 
made  thee. 

6  And  I  will  make  thee  exceed- 
ing fruitful,  and  I  will  make 
nations  of  thee,  and  kings  shall 
come  out  of  thee. 

7  And  I  will  establish  my  cov- 
enant between  me  and  thee  and 
thy  seed  after  thee  in  their  gen- 
erations for  an  everlasting  cov- 
enant, to  be  a  God  unto  thee, 
and  to  thy  seed  after  thee. 

8  And  I  will  give  unto  thee, 
and  to  thy  seed  after  thee,  the 
land  wherein  thou  art  a  stran- 
ger, all  the  land  of  Ca'n&an,  for 
an  everlasting  possession ;  and 
I  will  be  their  God. 

9  IfAnd  God  said  unto  AT>r&- 
h&m,  Thou  shalt  keep  my  cov- 
enant therefore,  thou,  and  thy 
seed  after  thee  in  their  gener- 
ations. 

10  This  is  my  covenant,  which 
ye  shall  keep,  between  me  and 
you  and  thy  seed  after  thee; 
Every  man  child  among  you 
shall  be  circumcised. 

11  And  ye  shall  circumcise  the 
flesh  of  your  foreskin;  and  it 
shall  be  a  token  of  the  cove- 
nant betwixt  me  and  you. 

12  And  he  that  is  eight  days 
old  shall  be  circumcised  among 
you,  every  man  child  in  your 
generations,  he  that  is  born  in 
the  house,  or  bought  with 
money  of  any  stranger,  which 
is  not  of  thy  seed. 

13  He  that  is  born  in  thy 
house,  and  he  that  is  bought 
with  thy  money,  must  needs  be 
circumcised:  and  my  covenant 
shall  be  in  your  flesh  for  an 
everlasting  covenant 

14  And  the  uncircumcised  man 
child  whose  flesh  of  his  fore- 
skin is  not  circumcised,  that 
soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  his 
people;  he  hath  broken  my 
covenant 

15  ITAnd  God  said  unto  Abra- 
ham, As  for  Sa'rai  thy  wife,  thou 
shalt  not  call  her  name  Sa'rai, 
but  Sa'rah  shall  her  name  be. 

16  And  I  will  bless  her,  and

19  And  God  said,  Sa'rah  thy 
wife  shall  bear  thee  a  son  in- 
deed; and  thou  shalt  call  his 
name  I'saac :  and  I  will  establish 
my  covenant  with  him  for  an 
everlasting  covenant,  and  with 
his  seed  after  him. 

20  And  as  for  Ish'ma-el,  I  have 
heard  thee:  Behold,  I  have 
blessed  him,  and  will  make  him 
fruitful,  and  will  multiply  him 
exceedingly ;  twelve  princes 
shall  he  beget,  and  I  will  make 
him  a  great  nation. 

21  But  my  covenant  will  I  es- 
tablish with  I'saac,  which  Sa'- 
rah shall  bear  unto  thee  at  this 
set  time  in  the  next  year. 

22  And  he  left  off  talking  with 
him,  and  God  went  up  from 
A'bra-ham, 

23  If  And  A-brS-ham  took  Ish'- 
ma-el his  son,  and  all  that  were 
born  in  his  house,  and  all  that 
were  bought  with  his  money, 
every  male  among  the  men  of 
A"bra-ham's  house ;  and  circum- 
cised the  flesh  of  their  foreskin 
in  the  selfsame  day,  as  God  had 
said  unto  him. 

24  And  A'bra-ham  was  ninety 
years  old  and  nine,  when  he 
was  circumcised  in  the  flesh  of 
his  foreskin. 

25  And  Ish'ma-el  his  son  was 
thirteen  years  old,  when  he  was 
circumcised  in  the  flesh  of  his 
foreskin. 

26  In  the  selfsame  day  was 
A'bra-ham  circumcised,  and  Ish'- 
ma-el his  son. 

27  And  all  the  men  of  his 
house,  born  in  the  house,  and 
bought  with  money  of  the  stran- 
ger, were  circumcised  with  him. 

CHAPTER  18 

Abraham  entertaineth  three  angels. 
9  Sarah  reproved.  17  Destruction 
of  Sodom  revealed  to  Abraham :  23 
he  intercedes  for  it. 

AND  the  Lord  appeared  unto 
him  in  the  plains  of  Mam' 
re:  and  he  sat  in  the  tent  door 
in  the  heat  of  the  day; 
2  And  he  lift  up  his  eyes  and 
looked,  and,  lo,  three  men  stood 
by  him :  and  when  he  saw  them, 
he  ran  to  meet  them  from  the 


tent  door,  and  bowed  himself 
toward  the  ground, 

3  And  said,  My  Lord,  if  now  I 
have  found  favour  in  thy  sight, 
pass  not  away,  I  pray  thee,  from 
thy  servant : 

4  Let  a  little  water,  I  pray  you, 
be  fetched,  and  wash  your  feet, 
and  rest  yourselves  under  the 
tree: 

5  And  I  will  fetch  a  morsel  of 
bread,  and  comfort  ye  your 
hearts ;  after  that  ye  shall  pass 
on:  for  therefore  are  ye  come 
to  your  servant.  And  they  said, 
So  do,  as  thou  hast  said. 

6  And  A'bra-ham  hastened  in- 
to the  tent  unto  Sa'rah,  and 
said,  Make  ready  quickly  three 
measures  of  fine  meal,  knead  it, 
and  make  cakes  upon  the  hearth. 

7  And  A'bra-ham  ran  unto  the 
herd,  and  fetcht  a  calf  tender 
and  good,  and  gave  it  unto  a 
young  man;  and  he  hasted  to 
dress  it 

8  And  he  took  butter,  and 
milk,  and  the  calf  which  he  had 
dressed,  and  set  it  before  them ; 
and  he  stood  by  them  under  the 
tree,  and  they  did  eat 

9  ITAnd  they  said  unto  him, 
Where  is  Sa'rah  thy  wife?  And 
he  said,  Behold,  in  the  tent 

10  And  he  said,  I  will  certainly 
return  unto  thee  according  to 
the  time  of  life ;  and,  lo,  Sa'rah 
thy  wife  shall  have  a  son.  And 
Sa'rah  heard  it  in  the  tent  door, 
which  was  behind  him. 

11  Now  A'bra-ham  and  Sa'rah 
were  old  and  well  stricken  in 
age;  and  it  ceased  to  be  with 
Sl'rah  after  the  manner  of  wo- 
men. 

12  Therefore  Sa'rah  laughed 
within  herself,  saying,  After  I 
am  waxed  old  shall  I  have  pleas* 
ure,  my  lord  being  old  also? 

13  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
A'bra-ham,  Wherefore  did  Sa'- 
rah laugh,  saying,  Shall  I  of  a 
surety  bear  a  child,  which  .am 
old? 

14  Is  any  thing  too  hard  for 
the  Lord?  At  the  time  ap- 
pointed I  will  return  unto  thee* 
according  to  the  time  of  life, 
and  Sa'rah  shall  have  a  son. 

15  Then  Sa'rah  denied,  say- 
ing, I  laughed  not;  for  she  was 
afraid.  And  he  said,  Nay;  but 
thou  didst  laugh. 

16  IF  And  the  men  rose  up  from 
thence,  and  looked  toward  S5d'* 
om:  and  A' bra-ham  went  with 
them  to  bring  them  on  the  way. 

17  And  the  Lord  said,  Shall  I 
hide  from  A'bra-ham  that  thing 
which  I  do ; 

18  Seeing  that  A'bra-ham  shall

surely  become  a  great  and 
mighty  nation,  'and  all  the  na- 
tions of  the  earth  shall  be 
blessed  in  him? 

19  For  I  kriow  him,  that  he 
will  command  his  children  and 
his  household  after  him,  and 
they  shall  keep  the  way  of  the 
Lord,  to  do  justice  and  judg- 
ment ;  that  the  Lord  may  bring 
upon  A'brfi-h&m  that  which  he 
hath  spoken  of  him. 

20  And  the  Lord  said,  Because 
the  cry  of  Sftd'om  and  G&TOdV- 
rah  is.  great,  and  because  then- 
sin  is  very  grievous ; 

21  I  will  go  down  now,  and  see 
whether  they  have  done  alto- 
gether according  to  the  cry  of 
it,  which  is  come  unto  me;  and 
if  not,  I  will  know. 

22  And  the  men  turned  their 
faces  from  thence,  and  went  to- 
ward Sftd'om :  but  Atnra-ham 
stood  yet  before  the  Lord. 

23  ITAnd  ATjrfi-ham  drew  near, 
and  said,  Wilt  thou  also  destroy 
the  righteous  with  the  wicked  ? 

24  Peradventure  there  be  fifty 
righteous  within  the  city :  wilt 
thou  also  destroy  and  not  spare 
the  place  for  the  fifty  righteous 
that  are  therein  ? 

25  That  be  far  from  thee  to  do 
after  this  manner,  to  slay  the 
righteous  with  the  wicked :  and 
that  the  righteous  should  be  as 
the  wicked,  that  be  far  from 
thee :  Shall  not  the  Judge  of  all 
the  earth  do  right  ? 

26  And  the  LORD  said,  If  I  find 
in  Sftd'om  fifty  righteous  within 
the  city,  then  I  will  spare  all  the 
place  for  their  sakes. 

27  And  AT>ra-ham  answered 
and  said,  Behold  now,  I  have 
taken  upon  me  to  speak  unto 
the  Lord,  which  am  but  dust 
and  ashes 

28  Peradventure  there  shall 
lack  five  of  the  fifty  righteous 
wilt  thou  destroy  all  the  city  for 
lack  o/five  ?  And  he  said,  If  I 
find  there  forty  and  five,  I  will 
not  destroy  it, 

29  And  he  spake  unto  him  yet 
again,  and  said,  Peradventure 
there  shall  be  forty  found  there. 
And  he  said,  I  will  not  do  it  for 
forty's  sake. 

30  And  he  said  unto  him,  Oh 
let  not  the  Lord  be  angry,  and 
I  will  speak:  Peradventure  there 
shall  thirty  be  found  there.  And 
he  said,  I  will  not  do  it,  if  I  find 
thirty  there. 


have  taken  upon  me  to  speak 
unto  the  Lord:  Peradventure 
there  shall  be  twenty  found 
there.    And  he  said,  I  will  not 


destroy  it  for  twenty's  sake. 

32  And  he  said,  Oh  let  not  the 
Lord  be  angry,  and  I  will  speak 
yet  but  this  once:  Peradventure 
ten  shall  be  found  there.  And 
he  said,  I  will  not  destroy  it  for 
ten's  sake. 

33  And  the  Lord  went  his  way, 
as  soon  as  he  had  left  commun- 
ing with  A'brfi-h&m :  and  A'brfi- 
hftm  returned  unto  his  place. 

CHAPTER  19 

Lot  entertaineth  two  angels.  A  The 
vicious  Sodomite*  stricken  with 
blindness.  17  He  is  directed  to  flee 
to  the  mountain.  2A  Sodom  and 
Gomorrah  destroyed.  26  LoVs  wife 
punished.  31  Origin  of  Moab  and 
Amman, 

AND  there  came  two  angels 
to  Sftd'om  at  even ;  and  Lftt 
sat  in  the  gate  of  Sftd'om :  and 
Lftt  seeing  them  rose  up  to  meet 
them ;  and  he  bowed:  himself 
with  his  face  toward  theground; 

2  And  he  said,  Behold  now,  my 
lords,  turn  in,  I  pray  you,  into 
your  servant's  house,  and  tarry 
all  night,  and  wash  your  feet, 
and  ye  shall  rise  up  early,  and 
go  on  your  ways.  And  they 
said,  Nay ;  but  we  will  abide  in 
the  street  all  night 

3  And  he  pressed  upon  them 
greatly;  and  they  turned  in 
unto  him,  and  entered  into  his 
house;  and  he  made  them  a 
feast,  and  did  bake  unleavened 
bread,  and  they  did  eat 

4  IFBut  before  they  lay  down, 
the  men  of  the  city,  even  the 
men  of  Sftd'om,  compassed  the 
house  round,  both  old  and 
young,  all  the  people  from  every 
quarter: 

5  And  they  called  unto  Lftt, 
and  said  unto  him,  Where  are 
the  men  which  came  in  to  thee 
this  night  ?  bring  them  out  un- 
to us,  that  we  may  know  them. 

6  And  Lftt  went  out  at  the  door 
unto  them,  and  shut  the  door 
after  him, 

7  And  said,  I  pray  you,  breth 
ren,  do  not  so  wickedly. 

8  Behold  now,  I  have  two 
daughters  which  have  not 
known  man;  let  me,  I  pray 
you,  bring  them  out  unto  you, 
and  do  ye  to  them  as  ts  good  in 
your  eyes :  only  unto  these  men 
do  nothing ;  for  therefore  came 
they  under  the  shadow  of  my 
roof. 

9  And  they  said,  Stand  back. 
And  they  said  again,  This  one

L5t,  and  came  near  to  break  the 
door. 

10  Bat  the  men  put  forth  their 
hand,  and  pulled  L5t  into  the 
house  to  them,  and  shut  to  the 
door. 

11  And  they  smote  the  men 
that  were  at  the  door  of  the 
house  with  blindness, both  small 
and  great :  so  that  they  wearied 
themselves  to  find  the  door. 

12  IFAnd  the  men  said  unto 
L5t,  Hast  thou  here  any  be- 
sides? son  in  law,  and  thy  sons, 
and  thy  daughters,  and  whatso- 
ever thou  hast  in  the  city,  bring 
them  out  of  this  place : 

13  For  we  will  destroy  this 
place,  because  the  cry  ox  them 
is  waxen  great  before  the  face 
of  the  Lord  ;  and  the  Lord  hath 
sent  us  to  destroy  it 

14  And  Lot  went  out,  and 
spake  unto  his  sons  in  law, 
which  married  his  daughters, 
and  said,  Up,  get  you  out  of  this 
place;  for  the  Lord  will  destroy 
this  city.  But  he  seemed  as 
one  that  mocked  unto  his  sons 
in  law. 

15  f  And  when  the  morning 
arose,  then  the  angels  hastened 
L5t,  saying,  Arise,  take  thy  wife, 
and  thy  two  daughters,  which 
are  here ;  lest  thou  be  consumed 
in  the  iniquity  of  the  city. 

16  And  while  he  lingered,  the 
men  laid  hold  upon  nis  hand, 
and  upon  the  hand  of  his  wife, 
and  upon  the  hand  of  his  two 
daughters;  the  Lord  being 
merciful  unto  him:  and  they 
brought  him  forth,  and  set  him 
without  the  city. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  had  brought  tnem  forth 
abroad,  that  he  said,  Escape  for 
thy  life;  look  not  behind  thee, 
neither  stay  thou  in  all  the 
plain ;  escape  to  the  mountain, 
lest  thou  be  consumed. 

18  And  L6t  said  unto  them, 
Oh,  not  so,  my  Lord : 

19  Behold  now,  thy  servant 
hath  found  grace  in  thy  sight, 
and  thou  hast  magnified  thy 
mercy,  which  thou  hast  shewed 
unto  me  in  saving  my  life ;  and 
I  cannot  escape  to  the  moun- 
tain, lest  some  evil  take  me, 
and  I  die : 

20  Behold  now,  this  city  is 
near  to  flee  unto,  and  it  wa 
little  one:  Oh,  let  me  escape 
thither,  (is  it  not  a  little  one?) 
and  my  soul  shall  live. 

21  And  he  said  unto  him,  See, 
I  have  accepted  thee  concern- 
ing this  thing  also,  that  I  will 
not  overthrow  this  city,  for  the 
which  thou  hast  spoken. 


22  Haste  thee,  escape  thither ; 
for  I  cannot  do  any  thing  till 
thou  be  come  thither.  There- 
fore the  name  of  the  city  was 
called  Zd'ar. 

23  IF  The  sun  was  risen  upon 
the  earth  when  L5t  entered  into 
Zo'ar. 

24  Then  the  Lord  rained  upon 
Sdd'om  and  upon  Go-mSr'rah 
brimstone  and  fire  from  the 
Lord  out  of  heaven ; 

25  And  he  overthrew  those 
cities,  and  all  the  plain,  and  all 
the  inhabitants  of  the  cities, 
and  that  which  grew  upon  the 
ground. 

26  But  his  wife  looked  back 
from  behind  him,  and  she  be- 
came a  pillar  of  salt 

27  Ana  A1>r&-h&m  gat  up  early 
in  the  morning  to  the  place 
where  he  stood  before  the  Lord: 

28  And  he  looked  toward  Sdd'- 
om and  G6-mdr'rah,  and  toward 
all  the  land  of  the  plain,  and 
beheld,  and,  lo,  the  smoke  of 
the  country  went  up  as  the 
smoke  of  a  furnace. 

29  IFAnd  it  came  to  pass,  when 
God  destroyed  the  cities  of  the 

Slain,  that  God  remembered 
tl>r&-h&m,  and  sent  L5t  out  of 
the  midst  of  the  overthrow, 
when  he  overthrew  the  cities 
in  the  which  L6t  dwelt. 

30  HAnd  L5t  went  up  out  of 
Zo'ar,  and  dwelt  in  the  moun- 
tain, and  his  two  daughters  with 
him ;  for  he  feared  to  dwell  in 
Zo'ar :  and  he  dwelt  in  a  cave, 
he  and  his  two  daughters. 

31  And  the  firstborn  said  unto 
the  younger,  Our  father  is  old, 
and  there  is  not  a  man  in  the 
earth  to  come  in  unto  us  after 
the  manner  of  all  the  earth 

32  Come,  letus make  ourfather 
drink  wine,  and  we  will  lie  with 
him,  that  we  may  preserve  seed 
of  our  father. 

33  And  they  made  their  father 
drink  wine  that  night:  and  the 
firstborn  went  in,  and  lay  with 
her  father;  and  he  perceived 
not  when  she  lay  down,  nor 
when  she  arose. 

34  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  the  firstborn  said 
unto  the  younger,  Behold,  I  lay 
yesternight  with  my  father :  let 
us  make  him  drink  wine  this 
night  also ;  and  go  thou  in,  and 
lie  with  him,  that  we  may  pre- 
serve seed  of  our  father. 

35  And  they  made  their  father 
drink  wine  that  night  also:  and 
the  younger  arose,  and  lay  with 
him ;  and  he  perceived  not  when 
she  lay  down,  nor  when  she 
arose.

36  Thus  were  both  the  daugh

37  And  the  firstborn  bare  a 
son,  and  called  his  name  Mo'ab : 
the  same  is  the  father  of  the 
Md'ab-ites  unto  this  day. 

38  And  the  younger,  she  also 
bare  a  son,  and  called  his  name

CHAPTER  20 

Abraham  denieth  his  wife,  and  Abim- 
elech takethher:  14  he  restoreth her 
with  presents* 

AND  A'brfi-hfim  journeyed 
from  thence  toward  the 
south  country,  and  dwelled  be- 
tween Kfi'desh  and  Shur,  and  so- 
journed in  Ge'rar. 

2  And  A'brfi-hfim  said  of  Sfi'rah 
his  wife,  She  is  my  sister:  and 
A-bim'e-lech  king  of  Ge'rar  sent, 
and  took  Sfi'rah. 

3  But  God  came  to  A-blm'e- 
lech  in  a  dream  by  night,  and 
said  to  him,  Behold,  thou  art 
but  a  dead  man,  for  the  woman 
which  thou  hast  taken ;  for  she 
is  a  man's  wife. 

4  But  A-bim'e4ech  had  not 
come  near  her:  and  he  said, 
Lord,  wilt  thou  slay  also  a  right- 
eous nation  ? 

5  Said  he  not  unto  me,  She  is 
my  sister?  and  she,  even  she 
herself  said,  He  is  my  brother 
in  the  integrity  of  my  heart  and 
innocency  of  my  hands  have  I 
done  this. 

6  And  God  said  unto  him  in  a 
dream,  Yea,  I  know  that  thou 
didst  this  in  the  integrity  of  thy 
heart;  for  I  also  withheld  thee 
from  sinninff  against  me :  there- 
fore suffered  I  thee  not  to  touch 
her. 

7  Now  therefore  restore  the 
man  his  wife;  for  he  is  a 
prophet,  and  he  shall  pray  for 
thee,  and  thou  shalt  live:  and 
if  thou  restore  her  not,  know 
thou  that  thou  shalt  surely  die, 
thou,  and  all  that  are  thine. 

8  Therefore  A-bim'e-lech  rose 
early  in  the  morning,  and  called 
all  his  servants,  and  told  all 
these  things  in  their  ears:  and 
the  men  were  sore  afraid. 

9  Then  A-bim'e-lech  called 
A'brfi-hfim,  and  said  unto  him, 
What  hast  thou  done  unto  us  ? 
and  what  have  I  offended  thee, 
that  thou  hast  brought  on  me 
and  on  my  kingdom  a  great  sin  ? 
thou  hast  done  deeds  unto  me 
that  ought  not  to  be  done. 

10  And  A-bim'e-l£ch  said  unto 
A'brfi-hfim,  What  sawest  thou, 


11  And  A'brfi-hfim  said,  Be- 
cause I  thought,  Surely  the  fear 
of  God  is  not  in  this  place ;  and 
they  will  slay  me  for  my  wife's 
sake. 

12  And  yet  indeed  she  is  my 
sister;  she  is  the  daughter  of 
my  father,  but  not  the  daughter 
of  my  mother;  and  she  became 
my  wife. 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
God  caused  me  to  wander  from 
my  father's  house,  that  I  said 
unto  her,  This  is  thy  kindness 
which  thou  shalt  shew  unto  me ; 
at  every  place  whither  we  shall 
come,  say  of  me,  He  is  my 
brother. 

14  And  A-bf  m'e-lech  took  sheep, 
and  oxen,  and  menservants,  and 
womenservants,  and  gave  them 
unto  A'brfi-hfim,  and  restored 
him  Sfi'rah  his  wife. 

15  And  A-bim'e-lech  said,  Be- 
hold, my  land  is  before  thee 
dwell  where  it  pleaseth  thee. 

16  And  unto  Sa'rah  he  said, 
Behold,  I  have  given  thy  brother 
a  thousand  pieces  of  silver:  be- 
hold, he  is  to  thee  a  covering  of 
the  eyes,  unto  all  that  are  with 
thee,  and  with  all  other:  thus 
she  was  reproved. 

17  So  A'brfi-hfim  prayed  unto 
God:  and  God  healed  A-bim'e- 
lech,  and  his  wife,  and  his  maid- 
servants; and  they  bare  chil- 
dren. 

13  For  the  Lord  had  fast 
closed  up  all  the  wombs  of  the 
house  of  A-bim'e-lech,  because 
of  Sa'rah  A1>rfi-hfim's  wife.

AND  the  Lord  visited  Sa'rah 
as  he  had  said,  and  the 
Lord  did  unto  Sa'rah  as  he  had 
spoken. 

2  For  Sfi'rah  conceived,  and 
bare  A'brfi-hfim  a  son  in  his  old 
age,  at  the  set  time  of  which 
God  had  spoken  to  him. 

3  And  A'brfi-hfim  called  the 
name  of  his  son  that  was  born 
unto  him,  whom  Sfi'rah  bare  to 
him,  I'saac 

4  And  A'brfi-hfim  circumcised 
his  son  I'§aac  being  eight  days 
old,  as  God  had  commanded  him. 

5  And  A'brfi-hfim  was  an  hun- 
dred years  old,  when  his  son 
I'saac  was  born  unto  him. 

6  IT  And  Sfi'rah  said,  God  hath 
made  me  to  laugh,  so  that  all 
that  hear  will  laugh  with  me. 

7  And  she  said,  Who  would 
have  said  unto  A'brfi-hfim,  that

a  son  in  his  old  age. 

8  And  the  child  grew,  and  was 
weaned :  and  A'bra-h&m  made  a 
great  feast  the  same  day  that 
I'saac  was  weaned. 

9  HAnd  Sa'rah  saw  the  son  of 
Ha'gar  the  £-gyp'tian,  which 
she  had  born  unto  A'bra-h&m, 
mocking. 

10  Wherefore  she  said  unto 
A1>r£-ham,  Cast  out  this  bond- 
woman and  her  son :  for  the  son 
of  this  bondwoman  shall  not  be 
heir  with  my  son,  even  with 
I'saac. 

11  And  the  thing  was  very 
grievous  in  A'bra-ham's  sight 
because  of  his  son. 

12  IFAnd  God  said  unto  A'brS 


22  HAnd  it  came  to  pass  at 
that  time,  that  A-bim'e-lSch  and 
Phi'chol  the  chief  captain  of  his 
host  spake  unto  AT)r&-ham,  say- 
ing, God  is  with  thee  in  all  that

me  here  by  God  that  thou  wilt 
not  deal  falsely  with  me,  nor 
with  my  son,  nor  with  my  son's

ness that  I  have  done  unto  thee, 
thou  shalt  do  unto  me,  and  to 
the  land  wherein  thou  hast  so- 
journed. 

24  And  AT>r&-ham  said,  I  will 
swear.

me,  neither  yet  heard  I  of  it, 
but  to  day. 
27  And  A'bra-ham  took  sheep  ch.4.4.  Sheep,

land  of  M6-ri'ah ;  and  offer  him 
there  for  a  burnt  offering  upon 
one  of  the  mountains  which  I 
will  tell  thee  of. 

3  And  A'brft-hSm  rose  up  early 
in  the  morning,  and  saddled  his 
ass,  and  took  two  of  his  young 
men  with  him,  and  I'saac  his 
son,  and  clave  the  wood  for  the 
burnt  offering,  and  rose  up,  and 
went  unto  the  place  of  which 
God  had  told  him. 

4  Then  on  the  third  day  Abra- 
ham lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw 
the  place  afar  off. 

5  And  A'bra'-h&m  said  unto  his 
young  men,  Abide  ye  here  with 
the  ass;  and  I  and:  the  lad  will 
go  yonder  and  worship,  and 
come  again  to  you. 

6  And  A^ri-ham  took  the 
wood  of  the  burnt  offering,  and 
laid  it  upon  I'saac  his  son ;  and 
he  took  the  fire  in  his  hand,  and 
a  knife;  and  they  went  both  of 
them  together. 

7  And  T'gaac  spake  unto  A'bra'- 
h&m  his  father,  and  said,  My 
father:  and  he  said,  Here  am  I, 
my  son.  And  he  said,  Behold  the 
fire  and  the  wood :  but  where  is 
the  lamb  for  a  burnt  offering? 

8  And  A'brfi-hfim  said,  My  son, 
God  will  provide  himself  a  lamb 
for  a  burnt  offering:  so  they 
went  both  of  them  together. 

9  And  they  came  to  the  place 
which  God  had  told  him  of ;  and 
A1>rfi-ham  built  an  altar  there, 
and  laid  the  wood  in  order,  and 
bound  I'gaac  his  son,  and  laid 
him  on  the  altar  upon  the  wood. 

10  And  A'bra-hSm  stretched 
forth  his  hand,  and  took  the 
knife  to  slay  his  son. 

11  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
called  unto  him  out  of  heaven, 
and  said,  A"br&-hSm,  AT)rS-ham : 
and  he  said,  Here  am  L 

12  And  he  said,  Lay  not  thine 
hand  upon  the  lad,  neither  do 
thou  any  thing  unto  him :  for 
now  I  know  that  thou  f  earest 
God,  seeing  thou  hast  not  with- 
held thy  son,  thine  only  son 
from  me. 

13  And  AT>rfi-ham  lifted  up  his 
eyes,  and  looked,  and  behold  be- 
hind him  a  ram  caught  in  a 
thicket  by  his  horns :  and  A'brft- 
ham  went  and  took  the  ram,  and 
offered  him  up  for  a  burnt  offer- 
ing in  the  stead  of  his  son. 

14  And  AT>ra-ham  called  the 
name  of  that  place  J£-h5'vah- 
ji'reh :  as  it  is  said  to  this  day,  In 
the  mount  of  the  Lord  it  shall 
be  seen. 

15  ITAnd  the  angel  of  the  Lord 


16  And  said,  By  myself  have  1 
sworn,  saith  the  Lord,  for  be- 
cause thou  hast  done  this  thing, 
and  hast  not  withheld  thy  son, 
thine  only  son : 

17  That  in  blessing  I  will  bless 
thee,  and  in  multiplying  I  will 
multiply  thy  seed  as  the  stars  of 
the  heaven,  and  as  the  sand 
which  is  upon  the  sea  shore; 
and  thy  seed  shall  possess  the 
gate  of  his  enemies; 

18  And  in  thy  seed  shall  all  the 
nations  of  the  earth'  be  blessed ; 
because  thou  hast  obeyed  my 
voice. 

19  So  A'bra-ham  returned  unto 
his  young  men,  and  they  rose 
up  and  went  together  to  Be'er-

BTer-she^ba. 

20  UAnd  it  came  to  pass  after 
these  things,  that  it  was  told 
A^rS-ham,  saying,  Behold,  Mll'- 
cah,  she  hath  also  born  children 
unto  thy  brother  NfiTi6r; 

21  Huz  his  firstborn,  and  Buz 
his  brother,  and  K€-mu'el  the

bear  to  N&lidr,  A'bia-h&m's 
brother. 

24  And  his  concubine,  whose 
name  was  Reu'mah,  she  bare 
also  TCbah,  and  GSliftm,  and

was  buried. 

AND  Sa'rah  was  an  hundred 
and  seven  and  twenty  years 
old:  these  were  the  years  of  the 
life  of  Sa'rah. 

2  And  Sfi'rah  died  in  Kfr'jath- 
ar1>a;  the  same  is  Hebron  in 
the  land  of  Ca'nftan :  and  A*br5 
ham  came  to  mourn  for  Sa'rah,

called  unto  A'bra-ham  out  ofichre,  but  that  thou  may  est  bury 
heaven  the  second  time,  I  thy  dead.

7  And  Al>r&-ham  stood  up,  and 
bowed  himself  to  the  people  of 
the  land,  even  to  the  children 
of  HSth. 

8  And  he  communed  with 
them,  saying,  If  it  be  your 
mind  that  I  should  bury  my 
dead  out  of  my  sight;  hear  me, 
and  intreat  for  me  to  E'phron 
the  son  of  Zoliar, 

9  That  he  may  give  me  the 
cave  of  Mach-pelah,  which  he 
hath,  which  is  in  the  end  of  his 
field ;  for  as  much  money  as  it 
is  worth  he  shall  give  it  me  for 
a  possession  of  a  buryingplace 
amongst  you. 

10  And  E^phron  dwelt  among 
the  children  of  HSth:  and 
E'phron  the  Hlf tite  answered 
A'br&-h&m  in  the  audience  of 
the  children  of  H£th,  even  of 
all  that  went  in  at  the  gate  of 
his  city,  saying, 

11  Nay,  my  lord,  hear  me:  the 
field  give  I  thee,  and  the  cave 
that  is  therein,  I  give  it  thee ;  in 
the  presence  of  the  sons  of  my 
people  give  I  it  thee :  bury  thy 
dead. 

12  And  A'bra'-ham  bowed  down 
himself  before  the  people  of  the 
land. 

13  And  he  spake  unto  E'phron 
in  the  audience  of  the  people  of 
the  land,  saying,  But  if  thou 
wilt  give  it,  I  pray  thee,  hear 
me:  I  will  give  thee  money  for 
the  field ;  take  it  of  me,  and  I 
will  bury  my  dead  there. 

14  And  E'phron  answered 
A'br&-hSm,  saying  unto  him, 

15  My  lord,  hearken  unto  me: 
the  land  is  worth  four  hundred 
shekels  of  silver;  what  is  that 
betwixt  me  and  thee?  bury  there- 
fore thy  dead. 

16  And  A1>r&-ham  hearkened 
unto  E'phron;  and  A'br&-h&m 
weighed  to  E'phron  the  silver, 
which  he  had  named  in  the 
audience  of  the  sons  of  HSth, 
four  hundred  shekels  of  silver, 
current  money  with  the  mer- 
chant. 

17  IFAnd  the  field  of  E'phron, 
which  was  in  Mach-pelah, 
which  was  before  Mftm'rS,  the 
field,  and  the  cave  which  was 
therein,  and  all  the  trees  that 
were  in  the  field,  that  were  in 
all  the  borders  round  about, 
were  made  sure 

18  Unto  Al>rft-ham  for  a  pos- 
session in  the  presence  of  the 
children  of  HSth,  before  all  that 
went  in  at  the  gate  of  his  city. 

19  And  after  this,  AT>ra*h5ra 
buried  Sa'rah  his  wife  in  the 
cave  of  the  field  of  Mach-pelah 
before  M&m're:   the  same  is 


He"bron  in  the  land  of  Ca'nfian. 

20  And  the  field,  and  the  cave 
that  is  therein,  were  made  sure 
unto  A^ra-ham  for  a  possession 
of  a  buryingplace  by  the  sons 
of  HSth. 

CHAPTER  24 
Abraham  mndeth  hie  servant  to  get  a 

wife  for  hie  eon  Isaac;  50  he  ob- 

taineth  Rebekah;  62  Isaac  meeteth 

her. 

AND  A1>r&-ham  was  old,  and 
well  stricken  in  age:  and 
the  Lord  had  blessed  Al>r&-h8m 
in  all  things. 

2  And  A'br&-ha,m  said  unto  his 
eldest  servant  of  his  house,  that 
ruled  over  all  that  he  had,  Put, 
I  pray  thee,  thy  hand  under  my 
thigh: 

3  And  I  will  make  thee  swear 
by  the  Lord,  the  God  of  heaven, 
and  the  God  of  the  earth,  that 
thou  shalt  not  take  a  wife  unto 
my  son  of  the  daughters  of  the 
Ca'nfian-ites,  among  whom  I 
dwell : 

4  But  thou  shalt  go  unto  my 
country,  and  to  my  kindred,  and 
take  a  wife  unto  my  son  I'saac. 

5  And  the  servant  said  unto 
him,  Peradventure  the  woman 
will  not  be  willing  to  follow  me 
unto  this  land:  must  I  needs 
bring  thy  son  again  unto  the 
land  from  whence  thou  earnest? 

6  And  A^rS-ham  said  unto 
him,  Beware  thou  that  thou 
bring  not  my  son  thither  again. 

7  The  Lord  God  of  heaven, 
which  took  me  from  my  father's 
house,  and  from  the  land  of  my 
kindred,  and  which  spake  unto 
me,  and  that  sware  unto  me, 
saying,  Unto  thy  seed  will  I  give 
this  land;  he  shall  send  his 
angel  before  thee,  and  thou 
shalt  take  a  wife  unto  my  son 
from  thence. 

8  And  if  the  woman  will  not 
be  willing  to  follow  thee,  then 
thou  shalt  be  clear  from  this  my 
oath:  only  bring  not  my  son 
thither  again. 

9  And  the  servant  put  his  hand 
under  the  thigh  of  A'brft-hfim 
his  master,  and  sware  to  him 
concerning  that  matter. 

10  If  And  the  servant  took  ten 
camels  of  the  camels  of  his  mas- 
ter, and  departed;  for  all  the 
goods  of  his  master  were-in  his 
hand:  and  he  arose,  and  went 
to  Mea-o-po-ta'mi-a,  unto  the  city 
of  Na'hSr. 

11  And  he  made  his  camels  to 
kneel  down  without  the  city  by 
a  well  of  water  at  the  time  of 
the  evening,  even  the  time  that 
women  go  out  to  draw  water. 

12  And  he  said,  0  LORD  God  of 
my  master  A'bra-ham,  I  pray

thee,  send  me  good  speed  this 
day,  and  shew  kindness  unto  my 
master  A'br&-ham. 

13  Behold,  I  stand  here  by  the 
well  of  water;  and  the  daugh- 
ters of  the  men  of  the  city  come 
out  to  draw  water : 

14  And  let  it  come  to  pass, 
that  the  damsel  to  whom  I  shall 
say,  Let  down  thy  pitcher,  I 
pray  thee,  that  I  may  drink; 
and  she  shall  say,  Drink,  and  I 
will  give  thy  camels  drink  also : 
let  the  same  be  she  that  thou 
hast  appointed  for  thy  servant 
I'saac ;  and  thereby  shall  I  know 
that  thou  hast  shewed  kindness 
unto  my  master. 

15  IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  before 
he  had  done  speaking,  that,  be- 
hold, Re-bSk'an  came  out,  who 
was  born  to  BSth-u'el,  son  of 
Mil'cah,  the  wife  "of  NaTi6r, 
A'toS-hSm's  brother,  with  her 
pitcher  upon  her  shoulder. 

16  And  the  damsel  was  very 
fair  to  look  upon,  a  virgin,  nei- 
ther had  any  man  known  her 
and  she  went  down  to  the  well, 
and  filled  her  pitcher,  and  came 
up. 

17  And  the  servant  ran  to 
meet  her,  and  said,  Let  me,  I 
pray  thee,  drink  a  little  water 
of  thy  pitcher. 

18  And  she  said,  Drink,  my 
lord:  and  she  hasted,  and  let 
down  her  pitcher  upon  her 
hand,  and  gave  him  drink. 

19  And  when  she  had  done  giv- 
ing him  drink,  she  said,  I  will 
draw  water  for  thy  camels  also, 
until  they  have  done  drinking. 

20  And  she  hasted,and  emptied 
her  pitcher  into  the  trough,  and 
ran  again  unto  the  well  to  draw 
water,  and  drew  for  all  his 
camels. 

21  And  the  man  wondering 
at  her  held  his  peace,  to  wit 
whether  the  Lord  had  made 
his  journey  prosperous  or  not 

22  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the 
camels  had  done  drinking,  that 
the  man  took  a  golden  earring 
of  half  a  shekel  weight,  and  two 
bracelets  for  her  hands  of  ten 
shekels  weight  of  gold ; 

23  And  said,  Whose  daughter 
art  thou?  tell  me,  I  pray  thee : 
is  there  room  in  thy  father's 
house  for  us  to  lodge  in? 

•24  And  she  said  unto  him,  I 
am  the  daughter  of  Bgth-u'el 
the  son  of  Mil'cah,  which  she 
bare  unto  NaTi6r. 

25  She  said  moreover  unto 
him,  We  have  both  straw  and 
provender  enough,  and  room  to 
lodge  in. 

26  And  the  man  bowed  down 


his  head,  and  worshipped  the 
Lord. 

27  And  he  said,  Blessed  be  the 
Lord  God  of  my  master  Alirfi 
him,  who  hath  not  left  destitute 
my  master  of  his  mercy  and  his 
truth :  I  being  in  the  way,  the 
Lord  led  me  to  the  house  of  my 
master's  brethren. 

28  And  the  damsel  ran,  and 
told  them  of  hex  mother's  house 
these  things. 

29  1f  And  Re-tek'ah  had  a 
brother,  and  his  name  was  La'- 
ban:  and  Ls.'ban  ran  out  unto 
the  man,  unto  the  well. 

30  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  saw  the  earring  and  brace- 
lets upon  his  sisters  hands,  and 
when  he  heard  the  words  of 
RS-bSk'ah  his  sister,  saying, 
Thus  spake  the  man  unto  me; 
that  he  came  unto  the  man; 
and,  behold,  he  stood  by  the 
camels  at  the  welL 

31  And  he  said,  Come  in,  thou 
blessed  of  the  Lord  ;  wherefore 
standest  thou  without?  for  I 
have  prepared  the  house,  and 
room  for  the  camels. 

32  And  the  man  came  into  the 
house:  and  he  ungirded  his 
camels,  and  gave  straw  and 
provender  for  the  camels,  and 
water  to  wash  his  feet,  and  the 
men's  feet  that  were  with  him. 

33  And  there  was  set  meat  be- 
fore him  to  eat:  but  he  said,  I 
will  not  eat,  until  I  have  told 
mine  errand.  And  he  said. 
Speak  on. 

34  And  he  said,  I  am  ATM-S- 
ham's servant 

35  And  the  Lord  hath  blessed 
my  master  greatly;  and  he  is  be- 
come great :  and  he  hath  given 
him  flocks,  and  herds,  and  silver, 
and  gold,  and  menservants,  and 
maidservants,  and  camels,  and 
asses. 

36  And  Sa'rah  my  master's 
wife  bare  a  son  to  my  master 
when  she  was  old :  and  unto  him 
hath  he  given  all  that  he  hath. 

37  And  my  master  made  me 
swear,  saving,  Thou  shalt  not 
take  a  wife  to  my  son  of  the 
daughters  of  the  Cfi'naan-ites, 
in  whose  land  I  dwell : 

38  But  thou  shalt  go  unto  my 
father's  house,  and  to  my  kin- 
dred, and  take  a  wife  unto  my 
son. 

39  And  I  said  unto  my  master, 
Peradventure  the  woman  will 
not  follow  me. 

40  And  he  said  unto  me,  The 
Lord,  before  whom  I  walk,  will 
send  his  angel  with  thee,  and 
prosper  thy  way ;  and  thou  shalt 
take  a  wife  for  my  son  of  my

kindred,  and  of  my  father's 
house: 

41  Then  shalt  thou  be  clear 
from  this  my  oath,  when  thou 
comest  to  my  kindred;  and  if 
they  give  not  thee  one,  thou 
shalt  be  clear  from  my  oath. 

42  And  I  came  this  day  unto  the 
well,  and  said,  O  Lord  God  of  my 
master  A'brfi-h&m,  if  now  thou 
do  prosper  my  way  which  I  go : 

43  Behold,  I  stand  by  the  well 
of  water;  and  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  that  when  the  virgin 
cometh  forth  to  draw  water, 
and  I  say  to  her,  Give  me,  I  pray 
thee,  a  little  water  of  thy  pitch- 
er to  drink ; 

44  And  she  say  to  me,  Both 
drink  thou,  and  I  will  also  draw 
for  thy  camels :  let  the  same  be 
the  woman  whom  the  Lord 
hath  appointed  out  for  my  mas- 
ter's son. 

45  And  before  I  had  done 
speaking  in  mine  heart,  behold, 
Re-bSk'ah  came  forth  with  her 
pitcher  on  her  shoulder;  and 
she  went  down  unto  the  well, 
and  drew  water:  and  I  said 
unto  her,  Let  me  drink,  I  pray 
thee. 

46  And  she  made  haste,  and 
let  down  her  pitcher  from  her 
shoulder,  and  said,  Drink,  and 
I  will  give  thy  camels  drink 
also :  so  I  drank,  and  she  made 
thee  camels  drink  also. 

47  And  I  asked  her,  and  said, 
Whose  daughter  art  thou?  And 
she  said,  The  daughter  of  B*th- 
u'el,N&'hdrvs  son,  whom  Mll'cah 
bare  unto  him:  and  I  put  the 
earring  upon  her  face,  and  the 
bracelets  upon  her  hands. 

48  And  I  bowed  down  my  head, 
and  worshipped  the  Lord,  and 
blessed  the  Lord  God  of  my 
master  A'brfi-h&m,  which  had 
led  me  in  the  right  way  to  take 
my  master's  brother's  daughter 
unto  his  son. 

49  And  now  if  ye  will  deal 
kindly  and  truly  with  my  mas- 
ter, tell  me :  and  if  not,  tell  me ; 
that  I  may  turn  to  the  right 
hand,  or  to  the  left 

50  Then  LfiT>an  and  BSth-u'el 
answered  and  said,  The  thing 
proceedeth  from  the  Lord  :  we 
cannot  speak  unto  thee  bad  or 
good. 

51  Behold,  r&beVah  is  before 
thee,  take  her,  and  go,  and  let 
her  be  thy  master's  son's  wife, 
as  the  Lord  hath  spoken. 

52  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  A1>r&-hfim's  servant  heard 
their  words,  he  worshipped  the 
Lord,  bowing  himself  Xo  the 
earth. 


53  And  the  servant  brought 
forth  jewels  of  silver,  and  jewels 
of  gold,  and  raiment,  and  gave 
them  to  Rfi-b€k'ah:  he  gave 
also  to  her  brother  and  to  her 
mother  precious  things. 

54  And  they  did  eat  and  drink, 
he  and  the  men  that  were  with 
him,  and  tarried  all  night ;  and 
they  rose  up  in  the  morning, 
ana  he  said,  Send  me  away  unto 
my  master. 

55  And  her  brother  and  her 
mother  said,  Let  the  damsel 
abide  with  us  a  few  days,  at 
the  least  ten;  after  that  she 
shall  go. 

56  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Hinder  me  not,  seeing  the  Lord 
hath  prospered  my  way;  send 
me  away  that  I  may  go  to  my 
master. 

57  And  they  said,  We  will  call 
the  damsel,  and  enquire  at  her 
mouth. 

58  And  they  called  RS-be'k'ah, 
and  said  unto  her,  Wilt  thou  go 
with  this  man  ?  And  she  said, 
I  will  go. 

59  And  they  sent  away  R£- 
bSk'ah  their  sister,  and  her 
nurse,  and  Alrcfi-hfim's  servant, 
and  his  men. 

60  And  they  blessed  RfrbeVah, 
and  said  unto  her,  Thou  art 
our  sister,  be  thou  the  mother 
of  thousands  of  millions,  and  let 
thy  seed  possess  the  gate  of 
those  which  hate  them. 

61  HAnd  RS-bgk'ah  arose,  and 
her  damsels,  and  they  rode  upon 
the  camels,  and  followed  the 
man :  and  the  servant  took  Re- 
bSk'ah,  and  went  his  way. 

62  And  I'saac  came  from  the 
way  of  the  well  Lfi-hfii'-roi ; 
for  he  dwelt  in  the  south 
country. 

63  And  I'saac  went  out  to 
meditate  in  the  field  at  the 
eventide:  and  he  lifted  up  his 
eyes,  and  saw,  and,  behold,  the 
camels  were  coming. 

64  And  RS-bSk'ah  lifted  up  her 
eyes,  and  when  she  saw  I  gaac, 
she  lighted  off  the  camel. 

65  For  she  had  said  unto  the 
servant,  What  man  is  this  that 
walketh  in  the  field  to  meet 
us?  And  the  servant  had  said, 
It  is  my  master:  therefore  she 
took  a  vail,  and  covered  her- 
self. 

66  And  the  servant  told  I'saac 
all  things  that  he  had  done. 

67  And  I'saac  brought  her  into 
his  mother  Sfi'rah's  tent,  and 
took  Re-beVah,  and  she  became 
his  wife;  and  he  loved  her :  and 
I'saac  was  comforted  after  his 
mother's  death.

CHAPTER  25 

The  sons  of  Abraham  by  Keturah:  7 
his  age  and  death.  12  The  genera- 
tions of  lahmaeL  23  The  birth  of 
Esau  and  Jacob.  29  Esau  setlsth 
his  birthright. 

THEN  again  A1>r&-ham  took 
a  wife,  and  her  name  was 
Ke-tu'rah. 

2  And  she  bare  him  ZIm'ran, 
and  Jdk'shan,  and  Me'dan,  and 
Mid'i-an,andlsh'bak,and  Shu'ah. 

3  And  Jdk'shan  begat  Shrba, 
and  De'dan.  And  the  sons  of 
De'dan  were  As-shu/rim,  and 
L£-tu'shim,  and  Le-um'mim. 

4  And  the  sons  of  Midl-an; 
E'phah,  and  E'phe'r,  and  Ha'- 
ndch,  and  A-bi'dah,  and  El'da 
ah.  All  these  were  the  chil 
dren  of  Ke-tu'rah. 

5  And  Alira-ham  gave  all  that 
he  had  unto  I'saac. 

6  But  unto  the  sons  of  the  con 
cubines,  which  A1>r&-ham  had, 
A'bra-him  gave  gifts,  and  sent 
them  away  from  I'saac  his  son, 
while  he  yet  lived,  eastward, 
unto  the  east  country. 

7  And  these  are  the  days  of 
the  years  of  A'brS-ham's  life 
which  he  lived,  an  hundred 
threescore  and  fifteen  years. 

8  Then  AT)rS-ham  gave  up  the 
ghost,  and  died  in  a  good  old 
age,  an  old  man,  and  full  of 
years ;  and  was  gathered  to  his 
people. 

9  And  his  sons  I'saac  and  lsh'- 
ma-el  buried  him  in  the  cave  of 
M&ch-pelah,  in  the  field  of 
E'phron  the  son  of  Zoliar  the 
Hiftite,  which  is  before  Mfim're; 

10  The  field  which  A'bra-hSm 
purchased  of  the  sons  of  H£th : 
there  was  A'brS-ham  buried,  and 
Sa'rah  his  wife. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
the  death  of  A^rS-ham,  that 
God  blessed  his  son  I'saac ;  and 
I'saac  dwelt  by  the  well  La- 
hai'-roi. 

12  11  Now  these  are  the  gen- 
erations of  lsh'ma-el,  Abra- 
ham's son,  whom  Ha'gar  the 
£-gyp'tian,  SS'rah's  handmaid, 
bare  unto  A'br&-h&m : 

13  And  these  are  the  names  of 
the  sons  of  lsh'ma-el,  by  their 
names,  according  to  their  gen- 
erations: the  firstborn  of  lsh'- 
ma-el, Ne-ba'joth;  and  Ke'dar, 
and  Ad'bS-el,  and  Mib'sam, 

14  And  Mish'ma,  and  Du'mah, 
and  M&s'sa, 

15  Ha'dar,  and  Te'ma,  Je'tur, 
Na'phish,  and  KSd'e-mah : 

16  These  are  the  sons  of  lsh'- 
ma-el, and  these  are  their 
names,  by  their  towns,  and  by 
their  castles ;  twelve  princes  ac- 
cording to  their  nations. 

24 


17  And  these  are  the  years  of 
the  life  of  lsh'ma-el,  an  hundred 
and  thirty  and  seven  years:  and 
he  gave  up  the  ghost  and  died ; 
and  was  gathered  unto  his 
people. 

18  And  they  dwelt  from  HaVi- 
lah  unto  Shfir,  that  is  before 
£  gy  pt»  as  thou  goest  toward  As- 
syria :  and  he  died  in  the  pres- 
ence of  all  his  brethren. 

19  H And  these  are  the  genera- 
tions of  I'saac,  A'brfi-ham's  son : 
AT)ra-ham  begat  I'saac : 

20  And  I'saac  was  forty  years 
old  when  he  took  Re-beVah  to 
wife,  the  daughter  of  B£th-g'el 
the  Syrl-an  of  Pa'dan-a'ram,  the 
sister  to  Lalmn  the  Syfi-an. 

21  And  I'saac  intreated  the 
Lord  for  his  wife,  because  she 
was  barren :  and  the  Lord  was 
intreated  of  him,  and  Re-bgk'ah 
his  wife  conceived. 

22  And  the  children  struggled 
together  within  her;  and  she 
said,  If  it  be  so,  why  am  I  thus  ? 
And  she  went  to  enquire  of  the 
Lord. 

23  And  the  Lord  said  unto  her, 
Two  nations  are  in  thy  womb, 
and  two  manner  of  people  shall 
be  separated  from  thy  bowels; 
and  the  one  people  shall  be 
stronger  than  the  other  people ; 
and  the  elder  shall  serve  the 
younger. 

24  And  when  her  days  to  be 
delivered  were  fulfilled,  behold, 
there  were  twins  in  her  womb. 

25  And  the  first  came  out  red, 
all  over  like  an  hairy  garment; 
and  they  called  his  name  Csau. 

26  And  after  that  came  his 
brother  out,  and  his  hand  took 
hold  on  E'sau's  heel;  and  his 
name  was  called  Ja'cob:  and 
I'saac  was  threescore  years  old 
when  she  bare  them. 

27  And  the  boys  grew:  and 
E'sau  was  a  cunning  hunter,  a 
man  of  the  field;  and  Ja'cob 
was  a  plain  man,  dwelling  in 
tents. 

28  And  I'saac  loved  B'sau,  be- 
cause he  did  eat  of  his  venison : 
but  Re-beVah  loved  Ja'cob. 

29  And  Ja'cob  sod  pottage: 
and  E'sau  came  from  the  field, 
and  he  was  faint: 

30  And  E'sau  said  to  Ja'cob, 
Feed  me,  I  pray  thee,  with  that 
same  red  pottage;  for  I  am 
faint:  therefore  was  his  name 
called  E'dom. 

31  And  Ja'cob  said,  Sell  me 
this  day  thy  birthright 

32  And  E'sau  said,  Behold,  I 
am  at  the  point  to  die:  and 
what  profit  shall  this  birthright 
do  to  me  ?

unto  Jft'cob.

at  Beer-aheba*  and  blesaeth  him..

AND  there  was  a  famine  in 
the  land,  beside  the  first 
famine  that  was  in  the  days  of 
Al>rfi-hfim.  And  l'saac  went 
unto  A-Wm'e-iech  king  of  the 
PhWis'tinea  unto  Ge'rfir. 

2  And  the  Lord  appeared  unto 
him,  and  said,  Go  not  down  into 
E'&ypt ;  dwell  in  the  land  which 
I  shall  tell  thee  of: 

3  Sojourn  in  this  land,  and  I 
will  be  with  thee,  and  will  bless 
thee;  for  unto  thee,  and  unto 
thy  seed,  I  will  give  all  these 
countries,  and  I  will  perform 
the  oath  which  I  sware  unto 
A1>rfi-ham  thy  father; 

4  And  I  will  make  thy  seed  to 
multiply  as  the  stars  of  heaven, 
and  will  give  unto  thy  seed  all 
these  countries ;  and  in  thy  seed 
shall  all  the  nations  of  the  earth 
be  blessed; 

5  Because  that  A1>r&-ham 
obeyed  my  voice,  and  kept  my 
charge,  my  commandments,  my 
statutes,  and  my  laws. 

6  HAnd  l'saac  dwelt  in  G£'r&r : 

7  And  the  men  of  the  place 
asked  him  of  his  wife ;  and  he 
said,  She  is  my  sister:  for  he 
feared  to  say,  She  is  my  wife ; 
lest,  said  tie,  the  men  of  the 
place  should  kill  me  for  R£- 
Mk'ah ;  because  she  was  fair  to 
look  upon. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  had  been  there  a  long  time, 
that  A-blm'e-lech  king  of  the 
Phi-Hs'tines  looked  out  at  a 
window,  and  saw,  and,  behold, 
l'saac  was  sporting  with  R8- 
beVah  his  wife. 

9  And  A-Mm'e-lech  called 
l'saac,  and  said,  Behold,  of  a 
surety  she  is  thy  wife:  and  how 
saidst  thou,  She  is  my  sister? 
And  l'saac  said  unto  him,  Be- 
cause I  said,  Lest  I  die  for  her. 

10  And  A-bim'e-le-ch  said, What 
is  this  thou  hast  done  unto  us? 
one  of  the  people  might  lightly 
have  lien  with  thy  wife,  and  thou 
shouldest  have  brought  guilti- 
ness upon  us. 

11  And  A-bim'e-lech  charged 

25 


all  his  people,  saying,  He  that 
toucheth  this  man  or  his  wife 
shall  surely  be  put  to  death. 

12  Then  l'saac  sowed  in  that 
land,  and  received  in  the  same 
year  an  hundredfold:  and  the 
Lord  blessed  him. 

13  And  the  man  waxed  great, 
and  went  forward,  and  grew 
until  he  became  very  great: 

14  For  he  had  possession  of 
flocks,  and  possession  of  herds, 
and  great  store  of  servants: 
and  the  Phl-lis'tines.  envied  him. 

15  For  all  the  wells  which  his 
father's  servants  had  digged  in 
the  days  of  A'brfi-h&m  his 
father,  the'  Phi-lis'tines.  had 
stopped  them,  and  filled  them 
with  earth. 

16  And  A-bim'e-lech  said  unto 
l'saac,  Go  from  us;  for  thou 
art  much  mightier  than  we. 

17  %  And  l'saac  departed 
thence,  and  pitched  his  tent  in 
the  valley  of  Ge'rar,  and  dwelt 
there. 

18  And  l'saac  digged  again  the 
wells  of  water,  which  they  had 
digged  in  the  days  of  A'brfi-hfim 
his  father;  for  the  Phi-lis'tines 
had  stopped  them  after  the 
death  of  A'br&-hfim:  and  he 
called  their  names  after  the 
names  by  which  his  father  had 
called  them. 

19  And  I'saac's  servants  digged 
in  the  valley,  and  found  there  a 
well  of  springing  water. 

20  And  the  herdmen  of  Ge'rar 
did  strive  with  I'saac's  herd- 
men,  saying,  The  water  is  ou^s 
and  he  called  the  name  of  the 
well  E'sSk;  because  they  strove 
with  him. 

21  And  they  digged  another 
well,  and  strove  for  that  also: 
and  he  called  the  name  of  it 
Sit'nah. 

22  And  he  removed  from 
thence,  and  digged  another 
well ;  and  for  that  they  strove 
not :  and  he  called  the  name  of 
it  Re-h5'both ;  and  he  said,  For 
now  the  Lord  hath  made  room 
for  us,  and  we  shall  be  fruitful 
in  the  land. 

23  And  he  went  up  from 
thence  to  Be'er-she'ba. 

24  And  the  Lord  appeared  un- 
to him  the  same  night,  and  said, 
I  am  the  God  of  A^brft-ham  thy 
father:  fear  not,  for  I  am  with 
thee,  and  will  bless  thee,  and 
multiply  thy  seed  for  my  serv- 
ant A'brfi-hfim's  sake. 

25  And  he  builded  an  altar 
there,  and  called  upon  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  and  pitched  his 
tent  there:  and  there  I'saac's 
servants  digged  a  welL

26  If  Then  A-bIm'e4ech  went 
to  him  from  Ge'rar,  and  A-huz'- 
zath  one  of  his  friends,  and 
Phi'chol  the  chief  captain  of 
his  army. 

27  And  I'saac  said  unto  them, 
Wherefore  come  ye  to  me,  see- 
ing ye  hate  me,  and  have  sent 
me  away  from  you? 

28  And  they  said,  We  saw  cer- 
tainly that  the  Lord  was  with 
thee :  and  we  said,  Let  there  be 
now  an  oath  betwixt  us,  even 
betwixt  us  and  thee,  and  let  us 
make  a  covenant  with  thee ; 

29  That  thou  wilt  do  us  no 
hurt,  as  we  have  not  touched 
thee,  and  as  we  have  done  unto 
thee  nothing  but  good,  and  have 
sent  thee  away  in  peace :  thou 
art  now  the  blessed  of  the  Lord. 

30  And  he  made  them  a  feast, 
and  they  did  eat  and  drink. 

31  And  they  rose  up  betimes 
in  the  morning,  and  sware  one 
to  another :  and  I'saac  sent  them 
away,  and  they  departed  from 
him  in  peace. 

32  And  it  came  to  pass  the 
same  day,  that  I'gaac's  servants 
came,  and  told  him  concerning 
the  well  which  they  had  digged, 
and  said  unto  him,  We  have 
found  water. 

33  And  he  called  it  She'bah : 
therefore  the  name  of  the  city 
is  Be'er-she'ba  unto  this  day. 

34  IF  And  B'sau  was  forty  years 
old  when  he  took  to  wife  Ju'dith 
the  daughter  of  BS-e'ri  the  Hlf  - 
tite,  and  Bash'e-m&th  the  daugh- 
ter of  E15n  the  ffit'tite : 

35  Which  were  a  grief  of  mind 
unto  I'gaac  and  to  Rfr»b£k'ah. 

CHAPTER  27 
Isaac  eendeth  Esau  for  venison,  6 
Jacob,  instructed  by  Rebekah,  oo- 
taineth  the  blessing :  34  Esau's  com- 
plaint; 41  he  threateneth  Jacob's 
life.  42  Rebekah  sendeth  Jacob  to 
Laban. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  I'saac  was  old,  and 
his  eyes  were  dim,  so  that  he 
could  not  see,  he  called  B'sau 
his  eldest  son,  and  said  unto 
him,  My  son :  and  he  said  unto 
him,  Behold,  here  am  L 

2  And  he  said,  Behold  now,  I 
am  old,  I  know  not  the  day  of 
my  death : 

3  Now  therefore  take,  I  pray 
thee,  thy  weapons,  thy  quiver 
and  thy  bow,  and  go  out  to  the 
field,  and  take  me  some  venison ; 

4  And  make  me  savoury  meat, 
such  as  I  love,  and  bring  it  to 
me,  that  I  may  eat;  that  my 
soul  may  bless  thee  before  I  die. 

5  And  Re-beVah  heard  when 
I'saac  spake  to  E'sau  his  son. 
And  E'sau  went  to  the  field  to 

26 


hunt  for  venison,  and  to  bring 
iL 

6  IFAnd  R£-beVah  spake  unto 
Ja'cob  her  son,  saying,  Behold, 
I  heard  thy  father  speak  unto 
B'sau  thy  brother,  saying, 

7  Bring  me  venison,  and  make 
me  savoury  meat,  that  I  may 
eat,  and  bless  thee  before  the 
Lord  before  my  death. 

8  Now  therefore,  my  son,  obey 
my  voice  according  to  that 
which  I  command  thee. 

9  Go  now  to  the  flock,  and 
fetch  me  from  thence  two  good 
kids  of  the  goats;  and  I  will 
make  them  savoury  meat  for 
thy  father,  such  as  ne  loveth 

10  And  thou  shdt  bring  it  to 
thy  father,  that  he  may  eat,  and 
that  he  may  bless  thee  before 
his  death. 

11  And  JS'cob  said  to  Re-belC 
ah  his  mother,  Behold,  E'sau  my 
brother  is  a  hairy  man,  and  I  am 
a  smooth  man : 

12  My  father  peradventure 
will  feel  me,  and  I  shall  seem 
to  him  as  a  deceiver;  and 
shall  bring  a  curse  upon  me, 
and  not  a  blessing. 

13  And  his  mother  said  unto 
him,  Upon  me  be  thy  curse,  my 
son:  only  obey  my  voice,  and 
go  fetch  me  them. 

14  And  he  went,  and  fetched, 
and  brought  them  to  his  moth- 
er: and  his  mother  made  sa- 
voury meat,  such  as  his  father 
lovei 

15  And  Re-b£kah  took  goodly 
raiment  of  her  eldest  son  B'sau, 
which  were  with  her  in  the 
house,  and  put  them  upon  Ja'cob 
her  younger  son : 

16  And  she  put  the  skins  of 
the  kids  of  the  goats  upon  his 
hands,  and  upon  the  smooth  of 
his  neck : 

17  And  she  gave  the  savoury 
meat  and  the  bread,  which  she 
had  prepared,  into  the  hand  of 
her  son  Ja'cob. 

18  IT  And  he  came  unto  his 
father,  and  said,  My  father :  and 
he  said,  Here  am  I;  who  art 
thou,  my  son? 

19  And  Ja'cob  said  unto  his 
father,  I  am  B'sau  thy  firstborn ; 
I  have  done'  according  as  thou 
badest  me :  arise,  I  pray  thee, 
sit  and  eat  of  my  venison,  that 
thy  soul  may  bless  me. 

20  And  I'saac  said  unto  his 
son,  How  is  it  that  thou  hast 
found  it  so  quickly,  my  son? 
And  he  said.  Because  the  Lord 
thy  God  brought  it  to  me. 

21  And  I'saac  said  unto  Ja'cob, 
Come  near,  I  pray  thee,  that  I 
may  feel  thee,  my  son,  whether

thou  be  my  very  son  E'sau  or 
not 

22  And  Ja'cob  went  near  unto 
I'saac  his  father;  and  he  felt 
him,  and  said,  The  voice  is  Ja'- 
cob's  voice,  but  the  hand9  are 
the  hands  of  E'sau. 

23.  And  he  discerned  him  not, 
because  his  hands  were  hairy, 
as  his  brother  E'sau's  hands :  so 
he  blessed  him. 

24  And  he  said,  Art  thou  my 
very  son  E'sau?  And  he  said, 
lam. 

25  And  he  said,  Bring  it  near 
to  me,  and  I  will  eat  of  my  son's 
venison,  that  my  soul  may  bless 
thee.  And  he  brought  it  near 
to  him,  and  he  did  eat:  and 
he  brought  him  wine,  and  he 
drank. 

26  And  his  father  I'saac  said 
unto  him,  Come  near  now,  and 
kiss  me,  mv  son. 

27  And  he  came  near,  and 
kissed  him :  and  he  smelled  the 
smell  of  his  raiment,  and  blessed 
him,  and  said,  See,  the  smell  of 
mv  son  is  as  the  smell  of  a  field 
which  the  Lord  hath  blessed : 

28  Therefore  God  give  thee  of 
the  dew  of  heaven,  and  the  fat- 
ness of  the  earth,  and  plenty  of 
corn  and  wine : 

29  Let  people  serve  thee,  and 
nations  bow  down  to  thee:  be 
lord  over  thy  brethren,  and  let 
thy  mother's  sons  bow  down  to 
thee :  cursed  be  every  one  that 
curseth  thee,  and  blessed  be  he 
that  blesseth  thee. 

30  f  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
soon  as  I'saac  had  made  an  end 
of  blessing  Ja'cob,  and  Ja'cob 
was  yet  scarce  gone  out  from 
the  presence  of  I'saac  his  father, 
that  E'sau  his  brother  came  in 
from  his  hunting. 

31  And  he  also  had  made  sa- 
voury meat,  and  brought  it  unto 
his  father,  and  said  unto  his 
father,  Let  my  father  arise,  and 
eat  of  his  son's  venison,  that 
thy  soul  may  bless  me. 

32  And  I'saac  his  father  said 
unto  him,  Who  art  thou?  And 
he  said,  I  am  thy  son,  thy  first- 
born E'sau. 

33  And  I'saac  trembled  very 
exceedingly,  and  said,  Who? 
where  is  he  that  hath  taken 
venison,  and  brought  it  me,  and 
I  have  eaten  of  all  before  thou 
earnest,  and  have  blessed  him? 
yea,  and  he  shall  be  blessed. 

34  And  when  E'sau  heard  the 
words  of  his  father,  he  cried 
with  a  great  and  exceeding  bit- 
ter cry,  and  said  unto  his  father, 
Bless  me,  even  me  also,  O  my 
father. 


35  And  he  said,  Thy  brother 
came  with  subtilty,  and  hath 
taken  away  thy  blessing. 

36  And  he  said,  Is  not  he 
rightly  named  Ja'cob?  for  he 
hath  supplanted  me  these  two 
times :  he  took  away  mv  birth- 
right; and,  behold,  now  he  hath 
taken  away  my  blessing.  And 
he  said,  Hast  thou  not  reserved 
a  blessing  for  me? 

37  And  I'saac  answered  and 
said  unto  E'sau,  Behold,  I  have 
made  him  thy  lord,  and  all  hi9 
brethren  have  I  given  to  him 
for  servants ;  and  with  corn  and 
wine  have  I  sustained  him :  and 
what  shall  I  do  now  unto  thee, 
my  son? 

38  And  E'sau  said  unto  his  fa- 
ther, Hast  thou  but  one  bless- 
ing, my  father?  bless  me,  even 
me  also,  O  my  father.  And  E'sau 
lifted  up  his  voice,  and  wept. 

39  And  I'saac  his  father  an- 
swered and  said  unto  him,  Be- 
hold, thy  dwelling  shall  be  the 
fatness  of  the  earth,  and  of  the 
dew  of  heaven  from  above ; 

40  And  by  thy  sword  shalt  thou 
live,  and  shalt  serve  thy  brother; 
and  it  shall  come  to  pass  when 
thou  shalt  have  the  dominion, 
that  thou  shalt  break  his  yoke 
from  off  thy  neck. 

41  IT  And  E'sau  hated  Ja'cob 
because  of  the  blessing  where- 
with his  father  blessed  him: 
and  E'sau  said  in  his  heart,  The 
days  of  mourning  for  my  father 
are  at  hand;  then  will  I  slay 
my  brother  Ja'cob. 

42  And  these  words  of  E'sau 
her  elder  son  were  told  to  R$- 
bSk'ah :  and  she  sent  and  called 
Ja'cob  her  younger  son,  and  said 
unto  him,  Behold,  thy  brother 
E'sau,  as  touching  thee,  doth 
comfort  himself,  purposing  to 
kill  thee. 

43  Now  therefore,  my  son,  obey 
my  voice;  and  arise,  flee  thou 
to  La'ban  my  brother  to  Ha'ran ; 

44  And  tarry  with  him  a  few 
days,  until  thy  brother's  fury 
turn  away; 

45  Until  thy  brother's  anger 
turn  away  from  thee,  and  he 
forget  that  which  thou  hast 
done  to  him:  then  I  will  send, 
and  fetch  thee  from  thence: 
why  should  I  be  deprived  also 
of  you  both  in  one  day?  . 

46  AndRe-b^k'ah said  to I'jaac, 
I  am  weary  of  my  life  because 
of  the  daughters  of  H£th:  if 
Ja'cob  take  a  wife  of  the  daugh 
ters  of  HSth,  such  as  these 
which  are  of  the  daughters  of 
the  land,  what  good  shall  my 
life  do  me?

CHAPTER  28 
Jdcoo  is  blessed,  and  sent  to  Fadan- 
aram:  10  his  vision,   and   God* 9 
promise  in  a  dream.    18  The  stone 
at  Beth-eL    20  Jacob's  vow. 

AND  I'saac  called  J&'cob,  and 
blessed  him,  and  charged 
him,  and  said  unto  him,  Thou 
shalt  not  take  a  wife  of  the 
daughters  of  C&'nftan. 

2  Arise,  go  to  Pa'dan-a'ram, 
to  the  house  of  BEth-u'el  thy 
mother's  father ;  and  take  thee 
a  wife  from  thence  of  the 
daughters  of  Lftl>an  thy  moth- 
er's Mother. 

3  And  God  Almighty  bless 
thee, and  make  thee  fruitful,  and 
multiply  thee,  that  thou  may  est 
be  a  multitude  of  people ; 

4  And  give  thee  the  blessing 
of  A'br&'-h&m,  to  thee,  and  to 
thy  seed  with  thee;  that  thou 
mayest  inherit  the  land  where- 
in thou  art  a  stranger,  which 
God  gave  unto  Aln-fi-nam. 

5  And  I'saac  sent  away  JS'cob : 
and  he  went  to  Pfi'dan-a'ram 
unto  La^ban,  son  of  BSth-u'el 
the  SyrT-an,  the  brother '  of 
Re-beVah,  JS'cob's  and  E'sau's 
mother. 

6  f  When  E'sau  saw  that  I'saac 
had  blessed  Ja'cob,  and  sent 
him  away  to  Pfi'dan-a'ram,  to 
take  him  a  wife  from  thence ; 
and  that  as  he  blessed  him  he 
gave  him  a  charge,  saving,  Thou 
shalt  not  take  a  wife  of  the 
daughters  of  Cfi'nftan ; 

7  And  that  J&'cob  obeyed  his 
father  and  his  mother,  and  was 
gone  to  Pa'dan-fi'ram ; 

8  And  B'sau  seeing  that  the 
daughters  of  C&'n&an  pleased 
not  I'saac  his  father; 

9  Then  went  B'sau  unto  Ish'- 
ma-el,  and  took  unto  the  wives 
which  he  had  Mfi'ha-lfith  the 
daughter  of  Ish'ma-el  Abra- 
ham's son,  the  sister  of  NS-ba'- 
joth,  to  be  his  wife. 

10  IT  And  Ja'cob  went  out  from 
Be'er-she'ba,  and  went  toward 
H&'ran. 

11  And  he  lighted  upon  a  cer- 
tain place,  and  tarried  there  all 
night,  because  the  sun  was  set; 
and  he  took  of  the  atones  of 
that  place,  and  put  them  for  his 
pillows,  and  lay  down  in  that 
place  to  sleep. 

12  And  he  dreamed,  and  be- 
hold a  ladder  set  up  on  the 
earth,  and  the  top  of  it  reached 
to  heaven:  and  behold  the 
angels  of  God  ascending  and 
descending  on  it 

13  And,  behold,  the  Lord  stood 
above  it,  and  said,  I  am  the 
Lord  God  of  A'bra-h&m  thy 
father,  and  the  God  of  Pgaac 


the  land  whereon  thou  liest,  to 
thee  will  I  give  it,  and  to  thy 
seed; 

14  And  thy  seed  shall  be  as 
the  dust  of  the  earth,  and  thou 
shalt  spread  abroad  to  the  west, 
and  to  the  east,  and  to  the  north, 
and  to  the  south:  and  in  thee 
and  in  thy  seed  shall  all  the 
families  of  the  earth  be  blessed. 

15  And,  behold,  I  am  with 
thee,  and  will  keep  thee  in  all  j 
places  whither  thou  goest,  and 
will  bring  thee  again  into  this 
land ;  for  I  will  not  leave  thee, 
until  I  have  done  that  which  I 
have  spoken  to  thee  of. 

16  IF  And  Ja^cob  awaked  out  of 
his  sleep,  and  he  said,  Surely 
the  Lord  is  in  this  place ;  and  I 
knew  it  not 

17  And  he  was  afraid,  and 
said,  How  dreadful  is  this  place ! 
this  is  none  other  but  the  house 
of  God,  and  this  is  the  gate  of 
heaven. 

18  And  Ja'cob  rose  up  early  in 
the  morning,  and  took  the  stone 
that  he  had  put  for  his  pillows, 
and  set  it  up  for  a  pillar,  and 
poured  oil  upon  the  top  of  it 

19  And  he  called  the  name  of 
that  place  Kth'-el:  but  the 
name  of  that  city  was  called 
Luz  at  the  first 

20  And  Ja'cob  vowed  a  vow, 
saying,  If  God  will  be  with  me, 
and  will  keep  me  in  this  way 
that  I  go,  and  will  give  me  bread 
to  eat,  and  raiment  to  put  on, 

21  So  that  I  come  again  to  my 
father's  house  in  peace;  then 
shall  the  Lord  be  my  God : 

22  And  this  stone,  which 
have  set  for  a  pillar,  shall  be 
God's  house:  and  of  all  that 
thou  shalt  give  me  I  will  surely 
give  the  tenth  unto  thee. 

CHAPTER  29 
Jacob,  coming  to  ike  well  of  Haran, 
9  meeteth  Rachel,  and  is  enter- 
tained by  Laban:  15  he  covenant- 
ethfor  her,  21  but  is  deceived  with 
Leah.  28  Rachel  also  given  him  to 
wife  on  a  new  agreement.  31  Leah 
beareth  Reuben,  Simeon,  Levi,  and 
Judah. 

nhHEN  Ja'cob  went  on  his 
X  journey,  and  came  into  the 
land  of  the  people  of  the  east 

2  And  he  looked,  and  behold  a 
well  in  the  field,  and,  lo,  there 
were  three  flocks  of  sheep  lying 
by  it ;  for  out  of  that  well  they 
watered  the  flocks :  and  a  great 
stone  was  upon  the  well's 
mouth. 

3  And  thither  were  all  the 
flocks  gathered :  and  they  rolled 
the  stone  from  the  well's  mouth, 
and  watered  the  sheep,  and  put 
the  stone  again  upon  the  well's 
mouth  in  his  place.

4  And  Ja'cob  said  unto  them, 
My  brethren,  whence  be  ye? 
And  they  said,  Of  Ha'ran are  we. 

5  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Know  ye  La'ban  the  son  of 
NaTidr?  And  they  said,  We 
know  him. 

6  And  he  said  unto  them,  Is  he 
well?  And  they  said,  He  is  well: 
and,  behold,  Ra'chel  his  daugh- 
ter cometh  with  the  sheep. 

7  And  he  said,  Lo,  it  zs  yet 
high  day,  neither  is  it  time  that 
the  cattle  should  be  gathered 
together:  water  ye  the  sheep, 
and  go  and  feed  them. 

8  /Sid  they  said,  We  cannot, 
until  all  the  flocks  be  gathered 
together,  and  till  they  roll  the 
stone  from  the  well's  mouth; 
then  we  water  the  sheep. 

9  IfAnd  while  he  yet  spake 
with  them,  Ra'chel  came  with 
her  father's  sheep :  for  she  kept 
them. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Ja'cob  saw  Ra'chel  the  daughter 
of  La'ban  his  mother's  brother, 
and  the  sheep  of  La'ban  his 
mother's  brother,  that  Ja'cob 
went  near,  and  rolled  the  stone 
from  the  well's  mouth,  and  wa- 
tered the  flock  of  La'ban  his 
mother's  brother. 

11  And  Ja'cob  kissed  Ra'chel, 
and  lifted  up  his  voice,  and  wept. 

12  And  Ja'cob  told  Ra'chel 
that  he  was  her  father's  broth- 
er, and  that  he  was  R£-b£k'ah's 
son :  and  she  ran  and  told  her 
father. 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
La'ban  heard  the  tidings  of  Ja'- 
cob his  sister's  son,  that  he  ran 
to  meet  him,  and  embraced  him, 
and  kissed  him,  and  brought  him 
to  his  house.  And  he  told  La'- 
ban all  these  things. 

14  And  La'ban  said  to  him, 
Surely  thou  art  my  bone  and 
my  flesh.  And  he  abode  with 
him  the  space  of  a  month. 

15  %  And  La'ban  said  unto  Ja'- 
cob, Because  thou  art  my  broth- 
er, shouldest  thou  therefore 
serve  me  for  nought?  tell  me, 
what  shall  thy  wages  be? 

16  And  La'ban  had  two  daugh- 
ters :  the  name  of  the  elder  was 
Le'ah,  and  the  name  of  the 
younger  was  Ra'chel. 

17  Le'ah  was  tender  eyed;  but 
Ra'chel  was  beautiful  and  well 
favoured. 

18  And  Ja'cob  loved  Ra'chel ; 
and  said,  I  will  serve  thee  seven 
years  for  Ra'chel  thy  younger 
daughter.  % 

19  And  La'ban  said,  It  is  bet- 
ter that  I  give  her  to  thee, 
than  that  I  should  give  her  to 


another  man:  abide  with  me. 

20  And  Ja'cob  served  seven 
years  for  Ra'chel;  and  they 
seemed  unto  him  but  a  few  days, 
for  the  love  he  had  to  her. 

21  ITAnd  Ja'cob  said  unto  La'- 
ban, Give  me  my  wife,  for  my 
days  are  fulfilled,  that  I  may  go 
in  unto  her. 

22  And  La'ban  gathered  to- 
gether all  the  men  of  the  place, 
and  made  a  feast 

23  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
evening,  that  he  took  Le'ah  his 
daughter,  and  brought  her  to 
him ;  and  he  went  in  unto  her. 

24  And  La'ban  gave  unto  his 
daughter  Le'ah  Zu'pah  his  maid 
for  an  handmaid. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in 
the  morning,  behold,  it  was 
Le'ah :  and  he  said  to  La'ban, 
What  is  this  thou  hast  done  unto 
me?  did  not  I  serve  with  thee 
for  Ra'chel?  wherefore  then 
hast  thou  beguiled  me? 

26  And  Lal>an  said,  It  must 
not  be  so  done  in  our  country, 
to  give  the  younger  before  the 
firstborn. 

27  Fulfil  her  week,  and  we  will 
give  thee  this  also  for  the  ser- 
vice which  thou  shalt  serve 
with  me  yet  seven  other  years. 

28  And  Ja'cob  did  so,  and  ful- 
filled her  week :  and  he  gave  him 
Ra'chel  his  daughter  to  wife 
also. 

29  And  La'ban  gave  to  Ra'chel 
his  daughter  Blfhah  his  hand- 
maid to  be  her  maid. 

30  And  he  went  in  also  unto 
Ra'chel,  and  he  loved  also  Ra' 
chel    more    than    Le'ah,    and 
served  with  him  yet  seven  other 
years. 

31  UAnd  when  the  Lord  saw 
that  Le'ah  wo*  hated,  he  opened 
her  womb :  but  Ra'chel  was  bar- 
ren. 

32  And  Le'ah  conceived,  and 
bare  a  son,  and  she  called  his 
name  Reu/ben:  for  she  said, 
Surely  the  Lord  hath  looked 
upon  my  affliction;  now  there- 
fore my  husband  will  love  me. 

33  And  she  conceived  again, 
and  bare  a  son;  and  said,  Be- 
cause the  Lord  hath  beard  that 
I  was  hated,  he  hath  therefore 
given  me  this  son  also :  and  she 
called  his  name  Sim'e-oi 

34  And  she  conceived  again, 
and  bare  a  son ;  and  said.  Now 
this  time  will  my  husband  be 
joined  unto  me,  because  I  have 
born  him  three  sons :  therefore 
was  his  name  called  Le'vi. 

35  And  she  conceived  again, 
and  bare  a  son:  and  she  said, 
Now  will  I  praise  the  Lord:

CHAPTER  30 

Rachel's  grief  for  her  barrenness :  5 
Bilhah  beareth  Dan  and  Naphtali : 
9  Zilpah  beareth  Gad  and  Asher: 
17  Leah  beareth  Issachar,  ZebtUun, 
and  Dinah:  22  Rachel  beareth 
Joseph.  25  Jacob's  new  covenant 
ttriih  Laban:  37  his  policy  to  be- 
come rich. 

AND  when  Ra'chel  saw  that 
she  bare  Ja'cob  no  chil- 
dren, Ra'chel  envied  her  sister; 
and  said  unto  Ja'cob,  Give  me 
children,  or  eke  I  die. 

2  And  Ja'cob's  anger  was  kin- 
dled against  Ra'chel:  and  he 
said,  Am  I  in  God's  stead,  who 
hath  withheld  from  thee  the 
fruit  of  the  womb? 

3  And  she  said,  Behold  my 
maid  Biltah,  go  in  unto  her; 
and  she  shall  bear  upon  my 
knees,  that  I  may  also  have 
children  by  her. 

4  And  she  gave  him  Billiah 
her  handmaid  to  wife :  and  Ja'- 
cob went  in  unto  her. 

5  And  BH'hah  conceived,  and 
bare  Ja'cob  a  son. 

6  And  Ra'chel  said,  God  hath 
judged  me,  and  hath  also  heard 
my  voice,  and  hath  given  me  a 
son:  therefore  called  she  his 
name  Dan. 

7  And  Billiah  Ra'chel's  maid 
conceived  again,  and  bare  Ja'- 
cob a  second  son. 

8  And  Rfi'chel  said,  With  great 
wrestlings  have  I  wrestled  with 
my  sister,  and  I  have  prevailed : 
and  she  called  his  name  Naph'- 
ta-H. 

9  When  Le'ah  saw  that  she 
had  left  bearing,  she  took  Zil'- 
pah  her  maid,  and  gave  her  Ja'- 
cob to  wife. 

10  And  Zil'pah  Le'ah's  maid 
bare  Ja'cob  a  son. 

11  And  Le'ah  said,  A  troop 
cometh:  and  she  called  his 
name  Gad. 

12  And  Zil'pah  LS'ah's  maid 
bare  Ja'cob  a  second  son. 

13  And  LS'ah  said,  Happy  am 
I,  for  the  daughters  will  call  me 
blessed:  and  she  called  his 
name  Ash'eT. 

14  ITAnd  Reu'ben  went  in  the 
days  of  wheat  harvest,  and 
found  ^mandrakes  in  the  field, 
and  brought  them  unto  his 
mother  LS'ah.  Then  Ra'chel 
said  to  Le'ah,  Give  me,  I  pray 
thee,  of  thy  son's  mandrakes. 

15  And  she  said  unto  her,  Is 
it  a  small  matter  that  thou  hast 
taken  my  husband  ?  and  would- 
est  thou  take  away  my  son's 
mandrakes  also?  And  Ra'chel 
said,  Therefore  he  shall  lie  with 


thee  to  night  for  thy  son's  man- 
drakes. 

16  And  Ja'cob  came  out  of  the 
field  in  the  evening,  and  Le'ah 
went  out  to  meet  him,  and  said, 
Thou  must  come  in  unto  me; 
for  surely  I  have  hired  thee  with 
my  son's  mandrakes.  And  he 
lay  with  her  that  night 

17  And  God  hearkened  unto 
Le'ah,  and  she  conceived,  and 
bare  Ja'cob  the  fifth  son. 

18  And  LTah  said,  God  hath 
given  me  my  hire,  because  I 
have  given  my  maiden  to  my 
husband:  and  she  called  his 
name  Is'sa-char. 

19  And  LS'ah  conceived  again, 
and  bare  Ja'cob  the  sixth  son. 

20  And  Le'ah  said,  God  hath 
endued  me  with  a  good  dowry ; 
now  will  my  husband  dwell  with 
me,  because  I  have  born  him  six 
sons :  and  she  called  his  name 
Z€b'u-hln. 

21  And  afterwards  she  bare  a 
daughter,  and  called  her  name 
Di'nah. 

22  lAnd  God  remembered  Ra'- 
chel, and  God  hearkened  to  her, 
and  opened  her  womb. 

23  And  she  conceived,  and 
bare  a  son ;  and  said,  God  hath 
taken  away  my  reproach : 

24  And  she  called  his  name 
Jo'seph;  and  said,  The  Lord 
shall  add  to  me  another  son. 

25  HAnd  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Rfi'chel  had  born  Jo'seph,  that 
Ja'cob  said  untoLa'ban,  Send  me 
away,  that  I  may  go  unto  mine 
own  place,  and  to  my  country. 

26  Give  me  my  wives  and  my 
children,  for  whom  I  have 
served  thee,  and  let  me  go :  for 
thou  knowest  my  service  which 
I  have  done  thee. 

27  And  La'ban  said  unto  him, 
I  pray  thee,  if  I  have  found 
favour  in  thine  eyes,  tarry :  for 
I  have  learned  by  experience 
that  the  Lord  hath  blessed  me 
for  thy  sake. 

28  And  he  said,  Appoint  me 
thy  wages,  and  I  will  give  it. 

29  And  he  said  unto  him,  Thou 
knowest  how  I  have  served  thee, 
and  how  thy  cattle  was  with  me. 

30  For  it  was  little  which  thou 
hadst  before  I  came,  and  it  is 
now  increased  unto  a  multi- 
tude ;  and  the  Lord  hath  blessed 
thee  since  my  coming :  and  now 
when  shall  I  provide  for  mine 
own  house  also  ? 

31  And  he  said.  What  shall  I 
give  thee?  And  Ja'cob  said, 
Thou  shalt  rrot  give  me  any 
thing :  if  thou  wilt  do  this  thing 
for  me,  I  will  again  feed  ana 
keep  thy  flock.

32  I  will  pass  through  all  thy 
flock  to  day,  removing  from 
thence  all  the  speckled  and 
spotted  cattle,  and  all  the  brown 
cattle  among  the  sheep,  and  the 
spotted  and  speckled  among  the 
goats:  and  of  such  shall  be  my 
hire. 

33  So  shall  my  righteousness 
answer  for  me  m  time  to  come, 
when  it  shall  come  for  my  hire 
before  thy  face :  every  one  that 
is  not  speckled  and  spotted 
among  the  goats,  and  brown 
among  the  sheep,  that  shall  be 
counted  stolen  with  me. 

34  And  LTban  said,  Behold,  I 
would  it  might  be  according  to 
thy  word. 

35  And  he  removed  that  day 
the  he  goats 'that  were  ring- 
straked  and  spotted,  and  all  the 
she  goats  that  were  speckled 
and  spotted,  and  every  one  that 
had  some  white  in  it,  and  all 
the  brown  among  the  sheep,  and 
gave  them  into  the  hand  of  his 
sons. 

36  And  he  set  three  days'  jour- 
ney betwixt  himself  and  Jfi'cob 
and  Jfi'cob  fed  the  rest  of  Lfi'- 
ban's  flocks. 

37  IFAnd  Jfi'cob  took  him  rods 
of  green  poplar,  and  of  the  hazel 
and  chesnut  tree;  and  pilled 
white  strakes  in  them,  and  made 
the  white  appear  which  was  in 
the  rods. 

38  And  he  set  the  rods  which 
he  had  pilled  before  the  flocks 
in  the  gutters  in  the  watering 
troughs  when  the  flocks  came  to 
drink,  that  they  should  conceive 
when  they  came  to  drink. 

39  And  the  flocks  conceived 
before  the  rods,  and  brought 
forth  cattle  ringstraked,  spec- 
kled, and  spotted. 

40  And  Jfi'cob  did  separate  the 
lambs,  and  set  the  faces  of  the 
flocks  toward  the  ringstraked, 
and  all  the  brown  in  the  flock 
of  La'ban;  and  he  put  his 
own  flocks  by  themselves,  and 
put  them  not  unto  Lfi'ban's 
cattle. 

41  And  it  came  to  pass,  when- 
soever the  stronger  cattle  did 
conceive,  that  Jfi'cob  laid  the 
rods  before  the  eyes  of  the 
cattle  in  the  gutters,  that 
they  might  conceive  among  the 
rods. 

42  But  when  the  cattle  were 
feeble,  he  put  them  not  in :  so 
the  feebler  were  La'ban's,  and 
the  stronger  Jfi'cob's. 

43  And  the  man  increased  ex- 
ceedingly, and  had  much  cattle, 
and  maidservants,  and  menserv- 
ants,  and  camels,  and  asses.

father's  images.  22  Laban  pur- 
sueth  Jacob:  44  their  covenant  at 
Gateed. 

AND  he  heard  the  words  of 
La'ban's  sons,  saying,  Jfi'- 
cob  hath  taken  away  all  that 
was  our  father's;  and  of  that 
which  was  our  father's  hath  he 
gotten  all  this  glory. 

2  And  Jfi'cob  beheld  the  coun- 
tenance of  La'ban,  and,  behold, 
it  was  not  toward  him  as  before. 

3  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Jfi'- 
cob, Return  unto  the  land  of  thy 
fathers,  and  to  thy  kindred ;  and 
I  will  be  with  thee. 

4  And  Jfi'cob  sent  and  called 
Rfi'chel  and  Le'ah  to  the  field 
unto  his  flock, 

5  And  said  unto  them,  I  see 
your  father's  countenance,  that 
it  is  not  toward  me  as  before; 
but  the  God  of  my  father  hath 
been  with  me. 

6  And  ve  know  that  with  all  my 
power  I  have  served  your  father. 

7  And  your  father  hath  de- 
ceived me,  and  changed  my 
wages  ten  times;  but  God  suf- 
fered him  not  to  hurt  me. 

8  If  he  said  thus,  The  speckled 
shall  be  thy  wages ;  then  all  the 
cattle  bare  speckled :  and  if  he 
said  thus,  The  ringstraked  shall 
be  thy  hire;  then  bare  all  the 
cattle  ringstraked. 

9  Thus  God  hath  taken  away 
the  cattle  of  your  father,  and 
given  them  to  me. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
time  that  the  cattle  conceived, 
that  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and 
saw  in  a  dream,  and,  behold,  the 
rams  which  leaped  upon  the  cat- 
tle were  ringstraked,  speckled, 
and  grisled. 

11  And  the  angel  of  God  spake 
unto  me  in  a  dream,  saying, 
Jfi'cob :  And  I  said,  Here  am  I. 

12  And  he  said,  Lift  up  now 
thine  eyes,  and  see,  all  the  rams 
which  leap  upon  the  cattle  are 
ringstraked,  speckled,  and  gris- 
led :  for  I  have  seen  all  that  La'- 
ban doeth  unto  thee. 

13  I  am  the  God  of  B6th'-el, 
where  thou  anointedst  the  pil- 
lar, and  where  thou  vowedst  a 
vow  unto  me:  now  arise,  get 
thee  out  from  this  land,  and  re- 
turn unto  the  land  of  thy  kin- 
dred. 

14  And  Rfi'chel  and  LTah 
answered  and  said  unto  him ,  Is 
there  yet  any  portion  or  inheri- 
tance for  us  in  our  father's 
house? 

15  Are  we  not  counted  of  him 
strangers?  for  he  hath  sold  us,

and  hath  quite  devoured  also 
our  money. 

16  For  all  the  riches  which 
God  hath  taken  from  our  father, 
that  is  out's,  and  our  children's : 
now  then,  whatsoever  God  hath 
said  unto  thee,  do. 

17  tThen  Ja'cob  rose  up,  and 
set  his  sons  and  his  wives  upon 
camels ; 

18  And  he  carried  away  all  his 
cattle,  and  all  his  goods  which 
he  had  gotten,  the  cattle  of  his 
getting,  which  he  had  gotten 
in  Pa'dan-a'ram,  for  to  go  to 
I'saac,  his  father  in  the  land  of 
Ca'n&an. 

19  And  La'ban  went  to  shear 
his  sheep:  and  Ra'chel  had 
stolen  the  images  that  were 
her  father's. 

20  And  Ja'cob  stole  away  un- 
awares to  Lalsan  the  SJrl-an,  in 
that  he  told  him  not  that  he  fled. 

21  So  he  fled  with  all  that  he 
had ;  and  he  rose  up,  and  passed 
over  the  river,  and  set  his  face 
toward  the  mount  Gire-Sd. 

22  And  it  was  told  La'ban  on 
the  third  day  that  Ja'cob  was 
fled. 

23  And  he  took  his  brethren 
with  him,  and  pursued  after  him 
seven  days'  journey;  and  they 
overtook  him  in  the  mount  Gil' 
e-ftd. 

24  And  God  came  to  La'ban 
the  Syrf-an  in  a  dream  by  night, 
and  said  unto  him,  Take  heed 
that  thou  speak  not  to  Ja'cob 
either  good  or  bad. 

25  If  Then  La'ban  overtook  JS' 
cob.  Now  Ja'cob  had  pitched  his 
tent  in  the  mount :  and  La'ban 
with  his  brethren  pitched  in 
the  mount  of  GU'e-act. 

26  And  La'ban  said  to  Ja'cob, 
What  hast  thou  done,  that  thou 
hast  stolen  away  unawares  to 
me,  and  carried  away  my  daugh- 
ters, as  captives  taken  with  the 
sword  ? 

27  Wherefore  didst  thou  flee 
away  secretly,  and  steal  away 
from  me ;  and  didst  not  tell  me, 
that  I  might  have  sent  thee 
away  with  mirth,  and  with 
songs,  with  tabret,  and  with 
harp? 

28  And  hast  not  suffered  me 
to  kiss  my  sons  and  my  daugh- 
ters? thou  hast  now  done  fool- 
ishly in  so  doing. 

29  It  is  in  the  power  of  my 
hand  to  do  you  hurt:  but  the 
God  of  your  father  spake  unto 
me  yesternight,  saying,  Take 
thou  heed  that  thou  speak  not 
to  Ja'cob  either  good  or  bad. 

30  And  now,  though  thou 
wouldest  needs  be  gone,  because 

32 


thou  sore  longedst  after  thy 
father's  house,  yet  wherefore 
hast  thou  stolen  my  gods? 

31  And  Ja'cob  answered  and 
said  to  La'ban,  Because  I  was 
afraid:  fori  said, Peradventure 
thou  wouldest  take  by  force  thy 
daughters  from  me. 

32  With  whomsoever  thou 
findest  thy  gods,  let  him  not 
live:  before  our  brethren  dis- 
cern thou  what  is  thine  with 
me,  and  take  it  to  thee.  For 
Ja'cob  knew  not  that  Ra'chel 
had  stolen  them. 

33  And  La'ban  went  into  Ja'- 
cob's  tent,  and  into  Le'ah's  tent, 
and  into  the  two  maidservants' 
tents ;  but  he  found  them  not 
Then  went  he  out  of  Le'ah's 
tent,  and  entered  into  Ra'chel's 
tent. 

34  Now  Ra'chel  had  taken  the 
images,  and  put  them  in  the 
camel's  furniture,  and  sat  upon 
them.  And  La'ban  searched  all 
the  tent,  but  found  them  not 

35  And  she  said  to  her  father, 
Let  it  not  displease  my  lord  that 
I  cannot  rise  up  before  thee; 
for  the  custom  of  women  is  up- 
on me.  And  he  searched,  but 
found  not  the  images. 

36  IfAnd  Ja'cob  was  wroth,  and 
chode  with  La'ban:  and  Ja'cob 
answered  and  said  to  La'ban, 
What  is  my  trespass?  what  is 
my  sin,  that  thou  hast  so  hotly 
pursued  after  me? 

37  Whereas  thou  hast  searched 
all  my  stuff,  what  hast  thou 
found  of  all  thy  household 
stuff?  set  it  here  before  my 
brethren  and  thy  brethren,  that 
they  may  judge  betwixt  us  both. 

38  This  twenty  years  have  I 
been  with  thee;  thy  ewes  and 
thy  she  goats  have  not  cast 
their  young,  and  the  rams  of 
thy  flock  have  I  not  eaten. 

39  That  which  was  torn  of 
beasts  I  brought  not  unto  thee; 
I  bare  the  loss  of  it ;  of  my  hand 
didst  thou  require  it,  whether 
stolen  by  day,  or  stolen  by  night 

40  Thus  I  was ;  in  the  day  the 
drought  consumed  me,  and  the 
frost  by  night;  and  my  sleep 
departed  from  mine  eyes. 

41  Thus  have  I  been  twenty 
years  in  thy  house;  I  served 
thee  fourteen  years  for  thy  two 
daughters,  and  six  years  for  thy 
cattle :  and  thou  hast  changed 
my  wages  ten  times. 

42  Except  the  God  of  my 
father,  the  God  of  Al>rfi-hfim, 
and  the  fear  of  I'saac,  had  been 
with  me,  surely  thou  hadst  sent 
me  away  now  empty.  God  hath

labour  of  my  hands,  and  rebuked 
thee  yesternight, 

43  If  And  La'ban  answered  and 
said  unto  Ja'cob,  These  daugh- 
ters are  my  daughters,  and  these 
children  are  my  children,  and 
these  cattle  are  my  cattle,  and 
all  that  thou  seest  ts  mine :  and 
what  can  I  do  this  day  unto 
thesemy  daughters,  or  untotheir 
children  which  they  have  born  ? 

44  Now  therefore  come  thou, 
let  us  make  a  covenant,  I  and 
thou;  and  let  it  be  for  a  wit- 
ness between  me  and  thee. 

45  And  Ja'cob  took  a  stone, 
and  set  it  up  for  a  pillar. 

46  And  Ja'cob  said  unto  his 
brethren,  Gather  stones;  and 
they  took  stones,  and  made  an 
heap:  and  they  did  eat  there 
upon  the  heap. 

47  And  La'ban  called  it  Je'gar- 
sft-ha-du'tha:  but  Ja'cob  called 
it  G&l'eveU 

48  And  LTban  said,  This  heap 
w  a  witness  between  me  and 
thee  this  day.  Therefore  was 
the  name  Of  it  called  GaTe-Sd ; 

49  And  Miz'pah;  for  he  said, 
The  Lord  watch  between  me 
and  thee,  when  we  are  absent 
one  from  another. 

50  If  thou  shalt  afflict  my 
daughters,  or^if  thou  shalt  take 
other  wives  beside  my  daugh- 
ters, no  man  is  with  us;  see,  God 
is  witness  betwixt  me  and  thee. 

51  And  La'ban  said  to  Ja'cob, 
Behold  this  heap,  and  behold 
this  pillar,  which  I  have  cast 
betwixt  me  and  thee ; 

52  This  heap  be  witness,  and 
this  pillar  be  witness,  that  I 
will  not  pass  over  this  heap  to 
thee,  and  that  thou  shalt  not 
pass  oyer  this  heap  and  this 
pillar  unto  me,  for  harm. 

53  The  God  of  Atn-a-ham,  and 
the  God  of  NaTior,  the  God  of 
their  father,  judge  betwixt  us. 
And  Ja'cob  sware  by  the  fear 
of  his  father  I'saac.  * 

54  Then  Ja'cob  offered  sacri- 
fice upon  the  mount,  and  called 
his  brethren  to  eat  bread :  and 
they  did  eat  bread,  and  tarried 
all  night  in  the  mount 

55  And  early  in  the  morning 
La'ban  rose  up,  and  kissed  his 
sons  and  his  daughters,  and 
blessed  them:  and  La'ban  de- 
parted, and  returned  unto  his 
place. 

CHAPTER  32 

Jacob*  •  vision  at  Mahanaim:  3  his 
message  to  Esau.  6  He  is  afraid 
of  Esau's  coming;  and  prayeth 
for  deliverance:  13  he  sendeth  a 
present  to  Esau:  24  he  wrestleth 
with  an  angel  at  Peniel.  and  is 
called  Israel.    31  He  halteth. 


AND  Ja'cob  went  on  his  way, 
and  the  angels  of  God  met 
him. 

2  And  when  Ja'cob  saw  them, 
he  said.  This  is  God's  host:  and 
he  called  the  name  of  that 
place  M&-ha-nfi'im. 

3  And  Ja'cob  sent  messengers 
before  him  to  E'sau  his  brother 
unto  the  land  of  Se'ir,  the  coun- 
try of  E'dom. 

4  And  he  commanded  them, 
saying,  Thus  shall  ye  speak 
unto  my  lord  E'sau;  Thy  serv- 
ant JS'cob  saith  thus,  I  have 
sojourned  with  La'ban,  and 
stayed  there  until  now: 

5  And  I  have  oxen,  and  asses, 
flocks,  and  menservants,  and 
womenservants :  and  I  have 
sent  to  tell  my  lord,  that  I  may 
find  grace  in  thy  sight. 

6  1TAnd  the  messengers  re- 
turned to  Ja'cob,  saying,  We 
came  to  thy  brother  E'sau,  and 
also  he  eometh  to  meet  thee, 
and  four  hundred  men  with 
him. 

7  Then  Ja'cob  was  greatly 
afraid  and  distressed:  and  he 
divided  the  people  that  was 
with  him,  and  the  flocks,  and 
herds,  and  the  camels,  into  two 
bands ; 

8  And  said,  If  E'sau  come  to 
the  one  company,  and  smite  it, 
then  the  other  company  which 
is  left  shall  escape. 

9  f  And  Ja'cob  said,  O  God  of 
my  father  A'brfi-ham,  and  God 
of  my  father  I'saac,  the  Lord 
which  saidst  unto  me,  Return 
unto  thy  country,  and  to  thy 
kindred,  and  I  will  deal  well 
with  thee : 

10  I  am  not  worthy  of  the 
least  of  all  the  mercies,  and  of 
all  the  truth,  which  thou  hast 
shewed  unto  thy  servant;  for 
with  my  staff  I  passed  Over  this 
Jor'dan ;  and  now  I  am  become 
two  bands. 

11  Deliver  me,  I  pray  thee, 
from  the  hand  of  my  brother, 
from  the  hand  of  E'sau:  for  I 
fear  him,  lest  he  will  come  and 
smite  me,  and  the  mother  with 
the  children. 

12  And  thou  saidst,  I  will 
surely  do  thee  good,  and  make 
thy  seed  as  the  sand  of  the 
sea,  which  cannot  be  numbered 
for  multitude. 

13  ITAnd  he  lodged  there  that 
same  night;  and  took  of  that 
which  came  to  his  hand  a  pres- 
ent for  E'sau  his  brother; 

14  Two  hundred  she  goats,  and 
twenty  he  goats,  two  hundred 
ewes,  and  twenty  rams,

16  And  he  delivered  them 
into  the  hand  of  his  servants, 
every  drove  by  themselves ;  and 
said  unto  his  servants,  Pass  over

be  thy  servant  Ja'cob's ;  it  is  a

E'sau:  and,  behold,  also  he  is 
behind  us. 

19  And  so  commanded  he  the 
second,  and  the  third,  and  all 
that  followed  the  droves,  say- 
ing, On  this  manner  shall  ye 
speak  unto  E'sau,  when  ye  find

20  And  say  ye  moreover,  Be-

that  goeth  before  me,  and  after- 
ward I  will  see  his  face;  per-

21  So  went  the  present  over 
before  him :  and  himself  lodged 
that  night  in  the  company. 

22  And  he  rose  up  that  night, 
and  took  his  two  wives,  and  his 
two  womenservants,  and  his 
eleven  sons,  and  passed  over  the 
ford  JabTrik. 

23  And  he  took  them,  and  sent 
them  over  the  brook,  and  sent 
over  that  he  had. 

24  1FAnd  Ja'cob  was  left  alone; 
and  there  wrestled  a  man  with 
him  until  the  breaking  of  the 
day. 

25  And  when  he  saw  that  he 
prevailed  not  against  him,  he 
touched  the  hollow  of  his  thigh ; 
and  the  hollow  of  Ja'cob's  thigh 
was  out  of  joint,  as  he  wrestled 
with  him. 

26  And  he  said,  Let  me  go,  for 
the  day  breaketh.  And  he  said, 
I  will  not  let  thee  go,  except 
thou  bless  me. 

27  And  he  said  unto  him,  What 
is  thy  name?  And  he  said, 
Ja'cob. 

28  And  he  said,  Thy  name 
shall  be  called  no  more  Ja'cob, 
but  Ig'ra-el :  for  as  a  prince  hast 
thou  power  with  God  and  with 
men,  and  hast  prevailed. 

29  And  Ja'cob  asked  him,  and 
said,  Tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  thy 
name.  And  he  said,  Wherefore 
is  it  that  thou  dost  ask  after 


my  name  ?   And  he  blessed  him 
there. 

30  And  Ja'cob  called  the  name 
of  the  place  Pe-ni'el :  for  I  have 
seen  God  face  to  face,  and  my 
life  is  preserved. 

31  And  as  he  passed  over 
Pe-nu'el  the  sun  rose  upon  him, 
and  he  halted  upon  his  thigh. 

32  Therefore  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el  eat  not  of  the  sinew 
which  shrank,  which  is  upon 
the  hollow  of  the  thigh,  unto 
this  day:  because  he  touched 
the  hollow  of  Ja'cob's  thigh  in 
the  sinew  that  shrank. 

CHAPTER  33 

The  kindness  of  Jacob  and  Esau  at 
their  meeting.  17  Jacob  cometh  to 
Succoth.  18  He  buyeth  a  field,  and 
buUdeth  an  attar. 

AND  Ja'cob  lifted  up  his  eyes, 
and  looked,  and,  behold, 
E'sau  came,  and  with  him  four 
hundred  men.  And  he  divided 
the  children  unto  Le'ah,  and 
unto  Ra'chel,  and  unto  the  two 
handmaids. 

2  And  he  put  the  handmaids 
and  their  children  foremost,  and 
Le'ah  and  her  children  after, 
and  Ra'chel  and  Jd'seph  hinder- 
most. 

3  And  he  passed  over  before 
them,  and  bowed  himself  to  the 
ground  seven  times,  until  he 
came  near  to  his  brother. 

4  And  E'sau  ran  to  meet  him, 
and  embraced  him,  and  fell  on 
his  neck,  and  kissed  him:  and 
they  wept. 

5  And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes, 
and  saw  the  women  and  the 
children;  and  said,  Who  are 
those  with  thee?  And  he  said, 
The  children  which  God  hath 
graciously  given  thy  servant 

6  Then  the  handmaidens  came 
near,  they  and  their  children, 
and  they  bowed  themselves. 

7  And  Le'ah  also  with  her 
children  came  near,  and  bowed 
themselves:  and  after  came 
Jo'seph  near  and  Ra'chel,  and 
they  d owed  themselves. 

8  And  he  said,  What  meanest 
thou  by  all  this  drove  which  I 
met?  And  he  said,  These  are 
to  find  grace  in  the  sight  of  my 
lord. 

9  And  E'sau  said,  I  have 
enough,  my  brother;  keep  that 
thou  hast  unto  thyself. 

10  And  Ja'cob  said,  Nay,  I  pray 
thee,  if  now  I  have  found  grace 
in  thy  sight,  then  receive  my 
present  at  my  hand :  for  there- 
lore  I  have  seen  thy  face,  as 
though  I  had  seen  the  face  of 
God,  and  thou  wast  pleased  with

11  Take*  I  pray  thee,  my  bless- 
ing that  is  brought  to  thee; 
because  God  hath  dealt  gra- 
ciously with  me,  and  because  I 
have  enough.  And  he  urged 
him,  and  he  took  it 

12  And  he  said,  Let  us  take 
our  journey,  and  let  us  go,  and 
I  will  go  before  thee. 

13  And  he  said  unto  him,  My 
lord  knoweth  that  the  children 
are  tender,  and  the  flocks  and 
herds  with  young  are  with  me : 
and  if  men  should  overdrive 
them  one  day,  all  the  flock  will 
die. 

14  Let  my  lord,  I  pray  thee, 
pass  over  before  his  servant: 
and  I  will  lead  on  softly,  accord- 
ing as  the  cattle  that  goeth  be- 
fore me  and  the  children  be 
able  to  endure,  until  I  come 
unto  my  lord  unto  Selr. 

15  And  E'sau  said,  Let  me  now 
leave  with  thee  some  of  the 
folk  that  are  with  me.  And  he 
said,  What  needeth  it  7  let  me 
find  grace  in  the  sight  of  my  lord. 

16  H  So  E'sau  returned  that 
day  on  his  way  unto  Selr. 

17  And  Ja'cob  journeyed  to 
Suc'coth,  and  built  him  an 
house,  and  made  booths  for  his 
cattle:  therefore  the  name  of 
the  place  is  called  Suc'coth. 

18  HAnd  Ja'cob  came  to  Sha' 
lem,  a  city  of  She'chem,  which 
is  in  the  land  of  Cfi'naan,  when 
he  came  from  Pa'dan-fi'ram ; 
and  pitched  his  tent  before  the 
city. 

19  And  he  bought  a  parcel  of 
a  field,  where  he  had  spread  his 
tent,  at  the  hand  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ha'mor,  ShS'chem's  fa- 
ther, for  an  hundred  pieces  of 
money. 

20  And  he  erected  there  an 
altar,  and  called  it  El-e-loliS-Ia'- 
fa-el. 

CHAPTER  34 

Dinah  defiled.  20  The  Shechemites 
are  circumcised.  25  The  eons  of 
Jacob  taking  advantage  thereof 
day  them,  and  spoil  their  city.  30 
Jacob  reproveth  Simeon  and  Levi. 

AND  Dinah  the  daughter  of 
L€'ah,  which  she  bare  unto 
J^cob,  went  out  to  see  the 
daughters  of  the  land. 

2  And  when  She'chem  the  son 
of  Ha'mor  the  Hi'vite,  prince  of 
the  country,  saw  her,  he  took 
her,  and  lay  with  her,  and  de- 
filed her. 

3  And  his  soul  clave  unto  DT- 
nah  the  daughter  of  Ja'cob,  and 
he  loved  the  damsel,  and  spake 
kindly  unto  the  damseL 

4  And  ShS'chem  spake  unto 
his  father  Ha'mor,  saying,  Get 
me  this  damsel  to  wife. 


5  And  Ja'cob  heard  that  he 
had  defiled  Di'nah  his  daugh- 
ter :  now  his  sons  were  with  his 
cattle  in  the  field:  and  Ja'cob 
held  his  peace  until  they  were 
come. 

6  HAnd  Ha'mor  the  father  of 
She'chem  went  out  unto  Ja'cob 
to  commune  with  him. 

7  And  the  sons  of  Ja'cob  came 
out  of  the  field  when  they 
heard  it:  and  the  men  were 
grieved,  and  they  were  very 
wroth,  because  he  had  wrought 
folly  in  Is'ra-el  in  lying  with 
Ja'cob's  daughter;  which  thing 
ought  not  to  be  done. 

8  And  Ha'mor  communed  with 
them,  saying,  The  soul  of  my 
son  She'chem  longeth  for  your 
daughter:  I  pray  you  give  her 
him  to  wife. 

9  And  make  ye  marriages  with 
us,  and  give  your  daughters 
unto  us,  and  take  our  daughters 
unto  you. 

10  And  ye  shall  dwell  with  us : 
and  the  land  shall  be  before 
you ;  dwell  and  trade  ye  therein, 
and  get  you  possessions  therein. 

11  Ana  She'chem  said  unto 
her  father  and  unto  her  breth- 
ren, Let  me  find  grace  in  your 
eyes,  and  what  ye  shall  say 
unto  me  I  will  give. 

12  Ask  me  never  so  much  dow- 
ry and  gift,  and  I  will  give  ac- 
cording as  ye  shall  say  unto  me : 
but  give  me  the  damsel  to  wife. 

13  And  the  sons  of  Ja'cob  an- 
swered Shg'chem  and  Ha'mor 
his  father  deceitfully,  and  said, 
because  he  had  defiled  Di'nah 
their  sister : 

14  And  they  said  unto  them, 
We  cannot  do  this  thing,  to 
give  our  sister  to  one  that  is  un- 
circumcised ;  for  that  were  a  re- 
proach unto  us : 

15  But  in  this  will  we  consent 
unto  you :  If  ye  will  be  as  we  be, 
that  every  male  of  you  be  cir- 
cumcised ; 

16  Then  will  we  give  our 
daughters  unto  you,  and  we  will 
take  your  daughters  to' us,  and 
we  will  dwell  with  you,  and  we 
will  become  one  people. 

17  But  if  ye  will  not  hearken 
unto  us,  to  be  circumcised ;  then 
will  we  take  our  daughter,  and 
we  will  be  gone. 

18  And  their  words  pleased 
Ha'mor,  and  She'chem  Ha'mor's 
son. 

19  And  the  young  man  de- 
ferred not  to  do  the  thing,  be- 
cause he  had  delight  in  Ja  cob's 
daughter:  and  he  was  more 
honourable  than  all  the  house 
iof  his  father.

20  And  Ha'mor  and  ShS'chem 
his  son  came  unto  the  gate  of 
their  city,  and  communed  with 
the  men  of  their  city,  saying, 

21  These  men  are  peaceable 
with  us;  therefore  let  them 
dwell  in  the  land,  and  trade 
therein ;  for  the  land,  behold,  it 
is  large  enough  for  them;  let 
us  take  their  daughters  to  us 
for  wives,  and  let  us  give  them 
our  daughters. 

22  Only  herein  will  the  men 
consent  unto  us  for  to  dwell 
with  us,  to  be  one  people,  if 
every  male  among  us  be  circum- 
cised, as  they  are  circumcised. 

23  Shall  not  their  cattle  and 
their  substance  and  every  beast 
of  their's  be  our*s?  only  let  us 
consent  unto  them,  and  they 
will  dwell  with  us. 

24  And  unto  Hamor  and  unto 
She'chem  his  son  hearkened  all 
that  went  out  of  the  gate  of  his 
city ;  and  every  male  was  cir- 
cumcised, all  that  went  out  of 
the  gate  of  his  city. 

25  1F And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
third  day,  when  they  were  sore, 
that  two  of  the  sons  of  Ja'cob, 
Sim'e-on  and  Le'vi,  Di'nah's 
brethren,  took  each  man  his 
sword,  and  came  upon  the  city 
boldly,  and  slew  all  the  males. 

26  And  they  slew  Ha'mor  and 
She'chem  his  son  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword,  and  took  Di'nah 
out  of  ShS'chem's  house,  and 
went  out 

27  The  sons  of  Ja'cob  came 
upon  the  slain,  and  spoiled  the 
city,  because  they  had  defiled 
their  sister. 

28  They  took  their  sheep,  and 
their  oxen,  and  their  asses,  and 
that  which  was  in  the  city,  and 
that  which  was  in  the  field, 

29  And  all  their  wealth,  and  ail 
their  little  ones,  and  their  wives 
took  they  captive,  and  spoiled 
even  all  that  was  in  the  house. 

30  And  J^cob  said  to  Sim'e-on 
and  Le'vi,  Ye  have  troubled  me 
to  make  me  to  stink  among  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land,  among 
the  Ca'naan-ites  and  the  PeVfe- 
zites :  and  I  being  few  in  num- 
ber, they  shall  gather  them- 
selves together  against  me,  and 
slay  me ;  and  I  shall  be  destroy- 
ed, I  and  my  house. 

31  And  they  said,  Should  he 
deal  with  our  sister  as  with  an 
harlot? 

CHAPTER  35 

God  sendeth  Jacob  to  Beth-el :  2  he 
purgeth  hi*  house  of  idols,  6  and 
buildeth  an  altar ;  9  God  Uesseth 
him  there.  16  Rachel  beareth  Ben- 
jamin, and  dies.    23  The  sons  of 

i   Jacob.    28  Isaac's  death. 


AND  God  said  unto  Ja'cob, 
Arise,  go  up  to  B*th'-el,< 
and  dwell  there:  and  make 
there  an  altar  unto  God,  that 
appeared  unto  thee  when  thou 
fieddest  from  the  face  of  E'sau 
thy  brother. 

2  Then  Ja'cob  said  unto  his 
household,  and  to  all  that  were 
with  him,  Put  away  the  strange 
gods  that  are  among  you,  and 
be  clean,  and  change  your  gar- 
ments: 

3  And  let  us  arise,  and  go  up 
to  B£th'-el;  and  I  will  make 
there  an  altar  unto  God,  who 
answered  me  in  the  day  of  my 
distress,  and  was  with  me  in  the 
way  which  I  went 

4  And  they  gave  unto  Ja'cob 
all  the  strange  gods  which  were 
in  their  hand,  and  all  their  ear- 
rings which  were  in  their  ears ; 
and  Jfi'cob  hid  them  under  the 
oak  which  was  by  She'chem. 

5  And  thev  journeyed:  and 
the  terror  of  God  was  upon  the 
cities  that  were  round  about 
them,  and  they  did  not  pursue 
after  the  sons  of  Ja'cob. 

6  %  So  Ja'cob  came  to  Luz, 
which  is  in  the  land  of  Ca'n&an, 
that  is,  BSth'-el,  he,  and  all  the 
people  that  were  with  him. 

7  And  he  built  there  an  altar, 
and  called  the  place  El-b€th- 
el :  because  there  God  appeared 
unto  him,  when  he  fled  from 
the  face  of  his  brother. 

8  But  Dgb'o-rah  Re-beVah's 
nurse  died,  and  she  was  buried 
beneath  B£th'-el  under  an  oak : 
and  the  name  of  it  was  called 
Aran-bach'uth. 

9  t  And  God  appeared  unto 
Ja'cob  again,  when  he  came  out 
of  Pa'dan-a'ram,  and  blessed 
him. 

10  And  God  6aid  unto  him, 
Thy  name  is  Ja'cob :  thy  name 
shall  not  be  called  any  more  Ja'- 
cob, but  ls'ra-el  shall  be  thy 
name :  and  he  called  his  name 
lg'ra-el. 

11  And  God  said  unto  him,  I 
am  God  Almighty :  be  fruitful 
and  multiply;  a  nation  and  a 
company  of  nations  shall  be  of 
thee,  and  kings  shall  come  out 
of  thy  loins ; 

12  And  the  land  which  I  gave 
A'bra-ham  and  l'saac,  to  thee  I 
will  give  it,  and  to  thy  seed 
after  thee  will  I  give  the  land. 

13  And  God  went  up  from  him 
in  the  place  where  he  talked 
with  him. 

14  And  Ja'cob  set  up  a  pillar 
in  the  place  where  he  talked 
with  him,  even  a  pillar  of  stone : 
and  he  poured  a  drink  offering

on. 

15  And  Ja'cob  called  the  name 
of  the  place  where  God  spake 
with  him,  Beth'-eL 

16  ITAnd  they  journeyed  from 
B€th'-«1;  and  there  was  but  a 
little  way  to  come  to  Eph'rSth : 
and  Ra'chel  travailed,  and  she 
had  hard  labour. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
she  was  in  hard  labour,  that  the 
midwife  said  unto  her,  Pear 
not;  thou  shalt  have  this  son 
also. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  her 
soul  was  in  departing,  (for  she 
died)  that  she  called  his  name 
Ben-6'ni:  but  his  father  called 
him  Ben'ja-min. 

19  And  Ra'chel  died,  and  was 
buried  In  the  way  to  Eph'r&th, 
which  t»  BSth  '-lg-hem. 

20  And  Ja'cob  set  a  pillar  upon 
her  grave :  that  is  the  pillar  of 
Ra'chel's  grave  unto  this  day. 

21  IT  And  Is/ra-el  journeyed, 
and  spread  his  tent  beyond  the 
tower  of  E'dar. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Is/ra-el  dwelt  in  that  land,  that 
Reu'ben  went  and  lay  with  BiT- 
hah  his  father's  concubine :  and 
Is/ra-el  heard  it.  Now  the  sons 
of  Ja'cob  were  twelve : 

23  The  sons  of  L€'ah;  Reu'- 
ben, Ja'cob's  firstborn,  and  Sim'- 
e-on,  and  Le'vl,  and  Ju'dah,  and 
Is'sa-char,  and  Z£b'u-lun : 

24  The  sons  of  Ra'chel;  Jo'- 
geph,  and  Ben'ja-min : 

25  And  the  sons  of  Billiah, 
Ra'chel's  handmaid;  Dan,  and 
Naph'ta-li: 

26  And  the  sons  of  Zil'pah, 
Le'ah's  handmaid;  Gad,  and 
Ash'er:  these  are  the  sons  of 
Ja'cob,  which  were  born  to  him 
in  Pa'dan-a'ram. 

27  If  And  Ja'cob  came  unto 
I'saac  his  father  unto  Mftm're, 
unto  the  city  of  Artmh,  which 
is  He'bron,  where  A'bra-ham 
and  I'saac  sojourned. 

28  And  the  days  of  I'saac 
were  an  hundred  and  fourscore 
years. 

29.  And  I'saac  gave  up  the 
ghost,  and  died,  and  was  gath- 
ered unto  his  people,  being  old 
and  full  of  days:  and  his  sons 
Esau  and  Ja'cob  buried  him.

had  got  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan ; 
and  went  into  the  country  from 
the  face  of  his  brother  Ja'cob. 

7  For  their  riches  were  more 
than  that  they  might  dwell  to- 
gether; and  the  land  wherein 
they  were  strangers  could  not 
bear  them  because  of  their  cat-

CHAPTER  37 

Joseph  hated  o/  his  brethren  :  5  hie 
two  dream*:  18  hie  brethren  con- 
spire hie  death.  23  He  is  cast  into 
a  pit.  2b  They  sett  him  to  the  Ish- 
meelites,  36  who  sell  him  to  Poti- 
phar  in  Egypt. 

AND  Ja'cob  dwelt  in  the  land 
wherein  his  father  was  a 
stranger,  in  the  land  of  Cfi'- 
nSan. 

2  These  are  the  generations 
of  Ja'cob.  Jo'seph,  being  seven- 
teen years  old,  was  feeding  the 
flock  with  his  brethren ;  and  the 
lad  was  with  the  sons  of  Bil'hah, 
and  with  the  sons  of  Zil'pah, 
his  father's  wives :  and  Joseph 
brought  unto  his  father  their 
evil  report. 

3  Now  Is'ra-el  loved  JS'seph 
more  than  all  his  children,  be- 
cause he  was  the  son  of  his  old 
age:  and  he  made  him  a  coat 
of  many  colours. 

4  And  when  his  brethren  saw 
that  their  father  loved  him 
more  than  all  his  brethren,  they 
hated  him,  and  could  not  speak 
peaceably  unto  him. 

5  %  And  JS'seph  dreamed  a 
dream,  and  he  told  it  his  breth- 
ren: and  they  hated  him  yet 
the  more. 

6  And  he  said  unto  them,  Hear, 
I  pray  you,  this  dream  which  I 
have  dreamed :

7  For,  bejiold,  we  were  bind- 
ing sheaves  in  the  field,  and,  lo, 
my  sheaf  arose,  and  also  stood 
upright;  and,  behold,  your 
sheaves  stood  round  about,  and 
made  obeisance  to  my  sheaf. 

8  And  his  brethren  said  to  him, 
Shalt  thou  indeed  reign  over  us  ? 
or  shalt  thou  indeed  have  do- 
minion over  us?  And  they 
hated  him  yet  the  more  for  his 
dreams,  and  for  his  words. 

9  And  he  dreamed  vet  another 
dream,  and  told  it  his  brethren, 
and  said,  Behold,  I  have  dreamed 
a  dream  more ;  and,  behold,  the 
sun  and  the  moon  and  the  eleven 
stars  made  obeisance  to  me. 

10  And  he  told  it  to  his  father, 
and  to  his  brethren:  and  his 
father  rebuked  him,  and  said 
unto  him,  What  is  this  dream 
that  thou  hast  dreamed  ?  Shall  I 
and  thy  mother  and  thy  breth- 
ren indeed  come  to  bow  down 
ourselves  to  thee  to  the  earth  ? 

11  And  his  brethren  envied 
him;  but  his  father  observed 
the  saying. 

12  IF  And  his  brethren  went  to 
feed  their  father's  flock  in  She'- 
chem. 

13  And  Is'ra-el  said  unto  Jo'- 
seph,  Do  not  thy  brethren  feed 
the  flock  in  She'chem?  come, 
and  I  will  send  thee  unto  them. 
And  he  said  to  him,  Here  am  I. 

14  And  he  said  to  him,  Go,  I 
pray  thee,  see  whether  it  be 
well  with  thy  brethren,  and 
well  with  the  flocks ;  and  bring 
me  word  again.  So  he  sent 
him  out  of  the  vale  of  Hg'hron, 
and  he  came  to  She'chem. 

15  And  a  certain  man  found 
him,  and,  behold,  he  was  wan- 
dering in  the  field:  and  the 
man  asked  him,  saying,  What 
seekestthou? 

16  And  he  said,  I  seek  my 
brethren:  tell  me,  I  pray  thee, 
where  they  feed  their  flocks. 

17  And  the  man  said,  They  are 
departed  hence;  for  I  heard 
them  say,  Let  us  go  to  Do'than. 
And  JG'seph  went  after  his 
brethren,  and  found  them  in 
DO'than. 

18  HAnd  when  they  saw  him 
afar  off,  even  before  he  came 
near  unto  them,  they  conspired 
against  him  to  slay  him. 

19  And  they  said  one  to  an- 
other. Behold,  this  dreamer 
cometh. 

20  Come  now  therefore,  and 
let  us  slay  him,  and  cast  him 
into  some  pit,  and  we  will  say, 
Some  evil  beast  hath  devoured 
him:  and  we  shall  see  what  will 
become  of  his  dreams. 


21  And  Reu'ben  heard  it,  and 
he  delivered  him  out  of  their 
hands ;  and  said,  Let  us  not  kill 
him. 

22  And  Reu'ben  said  unto 
them,  Shed  no  blood,  but  cast 
him  into  this  pit  that  is  in  the 
wilderness,  and  lay  no  hand  up- 
on him ;  that  he  might  rid  him 
out  of  their  hands,  to  deliver 
him  to  his  father  again. 

23  HAnd  it  came  to  pass,  when 
JS'seph  was  come  unto  his 
brethren,  that  they  stript  Jo' 
seph  out  of  his  coat,  his  coat  of 
many  colours  that  was  on  him ; 

24  And  they  took  him,  and 
cast  him  into  a  pit :  and  the  pit 
was  empty,  there  was  no  water 
in  it 

25  And  they  sat  down  to  eat 
bread :  and  they  lifted  up  their 
eyes  and  looked,  and,  behold,  a 
company  of  Ish'me-el-ites  came 
from  Gu'e-aa'  with  their  camels 
bearing  spicery  and  balm  and 
myrrh,  going  to  carry  it  down 
to  E'fcjrpt 

26  And  Ju'dah  said  unto  his 
brethren,  What  profit  is  it  if  we 
slay  our  brother,  and  conceal 
his  blood? 

27  Come,  and  let  us  sell  him 
to  the  Ish'me-el-ites,  and  let  not 
our  hand  be  upon  him ;  for  he 
is  our  brother  and  our  flesh. 
And  his  brethren  were  content. 

28  Then  there  passed  by  Mid'- 
i-an-ites  merchantmen ;  and 
they  drew  and  lifted  up  Jo'seph 
out  of  the  pit,  and  sold  JS'seph 
to  the  Ish'me-el-ites  for  twenty 
pieces  of  silver:  and  they 
Drought  Jo'seph  into  &g?pt 

29  llAnd  Reu'ben  returned  un- 
to the  pit;  and,  behold,  Jd'geph 
was  not  in  the  pit ;  and  he  rent 
his  clothes. 

30  And  he  returned  unto  his 
brethren,  and  said,  The  child  is 
not;  and  I,  whither  shall  I  go? 

31  1TAnd  they  took  JS'seph's 
coat,  and  killed  a  kid  of  the 
goats,  and  dipped  the  coat  in 
the  blood ; 

32  And  they  sent  the  coat  of 
many  colours,  and  they  brought 
it  to  their  father;  and  said, 
This  have  we  found :  know  now 
whether  it  be  thy  son's  coat  or 
no. 

33  And  he  knew  it,  and  said, 
It  is  my  son's  coat;  an  evil 
beast  hath  devoured  him;  J5'- 
geph  is  without  doubt  rent  in 
pieces. 

34  And  Jfi'cob  rent  his  clothes, 
and  put  sackcloth  upon  his  loins,

36  And  the  Mldl-an-ites  sold

CHAPTER  38 

Judah  begetteth  Er,  Onan,  and  She- 
tah.  6  Er  marrieth  Tamar.  8  The 
trespass  cf  Onan.  13  Tamar  de- 
ceiveth  Judah.  27  She  beareth 
twins,  Pharez  and  Zarah. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  at  that 
time,  that  Ju'dah  went 
down  from  his  brethren,  and 
turned  in  to  a  certain  A-dm"- 
lam-ite,  whose  name  was  Hi' 
rah. 

2  And    Ju'dah    saw    there    a 
daughter  of  a  certain  Ca'naan 
ite,  whose  name  was  Shu'ah ; 
and  he  took  her,  and  went  in 
unto  her. 

3  And  she  conceived,  and  bare 
a  son ;  and  he  called  his  name 
Er. 

4  And  she  conceived  again, 
and  bare  a  son ;  and  she  called 
his  name  O'nan. 

5  And  she  yet  again  con- 
ceived, and  bare  a  son;  and 
called  his  name  She'Iah:  and 
he  was  at  ChS'zib,  when  she 
bare  him. 

6  And  Ju'dah  took  a  wife  for 
Er  his  firstborn,  whose  name 
was  Ta'mar. 

7  And  Er,  Ju'dah's  firstborn, 
was  wicked  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  ;  and  the  Lord  slew  him. 

8  And  Ju'dah  said  unto  O'nan, 
Go  in  unto  thy  brother's  wife, 
and  marry  her,  and  raise  up 
seed  to  thy  brother. 

9  And  O'nan  knew  that  the 
seed  should  not  be  his;  and  it 
came  to  pass,  when  he  went  in 
unto  his  brother's  wife,  that  he 
spilled  it  on  the  ground,  lest 
that  he  should  give  seed  to  his 
brother. 

10  And  the  thing  which  he  did 
displeased  the  Lord  :  wherefore 
he  slew  him  also. 

11  Then  said  Ju'dah  to  Ta'mar 
his  daughter  in  law,  Remain  a 
widow  at  thy  father's  house, 
till  She'Iah  my  son  be  grown : 
for  he  said,  Lest  peradventure 
he  die  also,  as  his  brethren  did. 
And  Tfi'mar  went  and  dwelt  in 
her  father's  house. 

12  If  And  in  process  of  time  the 
daughter  of  Shu'ah  Ju'dah's 
wife  died ;  and  Ju'dah  was  com- 
forted, and  went  up  unto  his 
aheepshearers  to  Tim'nath,  he 

40 


and  his  friend  Hi'rah  the  A-duT- 
lam-ite. 

13  And  it  was  told  Ta'mar,  say- 
ing, Behold  thy  father  in  law 
goeth  up  to  Tim'nath  to  shear 
his  sheep. 

14  And  she  put  her  widow's  gar- 
ments off  from  her,  and  covered 
her  with  a  vail,  and  wrapped 
herself,  and  sat  in  an  open 
place,  which  is  by  the  way  to 
Tim'nath ;  for  she  saw  that  She'- 
Iah was  grown,  and  she  was  not 
given  unto  him  to  wife. 

15  When  Ju'dah  saw  her,  he 
thought  her  to  be  an  harlot ;  be- 
cause she  had  covered  her  face. 

16  And  he  turned  unto  her  by 
the  way,  and  said,  Go  to,  I  pray 
thee,  let  me  come  in  unto  thee ; 
(for  he  knew  not  that  she  was 
his  daughter  in  law.)  And  she 
said,  What  wilt  thou  give  me, 
that  thou  mayest  come  in  unto 
me? 

17  And  he  said,  I  will  send  thee 
a  kid  from  the  flock.  And  she 
said,  Wilt  thou  give  me  a  pledge, 
till  thou  send  it? 

18  And  he  said.  What  pledge 
shall  I  give  thee?  And  she 
said,  Thy  signet,  and  thy  brace- 
lets, and  thy  staff  that  is  in 
thine  hand.  And  he  gave  it 
her,  and  came  in  unto  her,  and 
she  conceived  by  him. 

19  And  she  arose,  and  went 
away,  and  laid  by  her  vail  from 
her,  and  put  on  the  garments  of 
her  widowhood. 

20  And  Ju'dah  sent  the  kid 
by  the  hand  of  his  friend  the 
A-dullam-ite,  to  receive  his 
pledge  from  the  woman's  hand : 
but  he  found  her  not 

21  Then  he  asked  the  men  of 
that  place,  saying,  Where  is  the 
harlot,  that  was  openly  by  the 
way  side  ?  And  they  said,  There 
was  no  harlot  in  this  place. 

22  And  he  returned  to  Ju'dah, 
and  said,  I  cannot  find  her;  and 
also  the  men  of  the  place  said, 
that  there  was  no  harlot  in  this 
place. 

23  And  Ju'dah  said,  Let  her 
take  it  to  her,  lest  we  be 
shamed:  behold,  I  sent  this 
kid,  and  thou  hast  not  found 
her. 

24  IFAnd  it  came  to  pass  about 
three  months  after,  that  it  was 
told  Ju'dah,  saying,  Ta'mar  thy 
daughter  in  law  hath  played 
the  harlot ;  and  also,  behold,  she 
is  with  child  by  whoredom. 
And  Ju'dah  said,  Bring  her 
forth,  and  let  her  be  burnt 

25  When  she  was  brought 
forth,  she  sent  to  her  father  in 
law,  saying,  By  the  man,  whose

these  are,  am  I  with  child :  and 
she  said,  Discern,  I  pray  thee, 
whose  are  these,  the  signet,  and 
bracelets,  and  staff. 

26  And  Ju'dah  acknowledged 
them,  and  said,  She  hath  been 
more  righteous  than  I ;  because 
that  I  gave  her  not  to  Shelah 
my  son.  And  he  knew  her 
again  no  more. 

27  IfAnd  it  came  to  pass  in 
the  time  of  her  travail,  that, 
behold,  twins  were  in  her  womb. 

28  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
she  travailed,  that  the  one  put 
out  hie  hand :  and  the  midwife 
took  and  bound  upon  his  hand 
a  scarlet  thread,  saying,  This 
came  out  first 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he 
drew  back  his  hand,  that,  be- 
hold, his  brother  came  out :  and 
she  said,  How  hast  thou  broken 
forth  ?  this  breach  be  upon  thee: 
therefore  his  name  was  called 
Ph&'rec. 

30  And  afterward  came  out 
his  brother,  that  had  the  scar- 
let thread  upon  his  hand :  and 
his  name  was  called  Za'rah. 

CHAPTER  39 

Joseph,  advanced  in  Potiph&*s 
house,  7  resisteth  his  mistress's 
temptation:  13  he  is  falaely  ac- 
cused, 20  and  cast  into  prison :  21 
God  is  with  him  there. 

AND  Jo'seph  was  brought 
down  toE'gfpt;  and  Potl- 
phar,  an  officer  of  Phfi'ra6h,  cap- 
tain of  the  guard,  an  E-gjfp'tian, 
bought  him  of  the  hands  of 
the  lsh'me-el-ftes,  which  had 
brought  him  down  thither. 

2  And  the  Lord  was  with  Jo'- 
seph, and  he  was  a  prosperous 
man ;  and  he  was  in  the  house 
of  his  master  the  ftgyp'tian. 

3  And  his  master  saw  that  the 
Lord  was  with  him,  and  that 
the  Lord  made  all  that  he  did 
to  prosper  in  his  hand. 

4  Ana  JS'seph  found  grace  in 
his  sight,  and  he  served  him : 
and  he  made  him  overseer  over 
his  house,  and  all  that  he  had 
he  put  into  his  hand. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass  from  the 
time  that  he  had  made  him  over- 
seer in  his  house,  and  over  all 
that  he  had,  that  the  Lord 
blessed  the  £-&yp'tian's  house 
for  Jd'seph's  sake;  and  the 
blessing  of  the  Lord  was  upon 
all  that  he  had  in  the  house, 
and  in  the  field. 

6  And  he  left  all  that  he  had 
in  Jd'seph's  hand ;  and  he  knew 
not  ought  he  had,  save  the  bread 
which  he  did  eat  And  Jd'geph 
was  a  goodly  person,  and  well 
favoured. 

7  HAnd  it  tame  to  pass  after 


these  things,  that  his  master's 
wife  cast  her  eyes  upon  Jo'seph ; 
and  she  said,  Lie  with  me. 

8  But  he  refused,  and  said  unto 
his  master's  wife,  Behold,  my 
master  wotteth  not  what  is  with 
me  in  the  house,  and  he  hath 
committed  all  that  he  hath  to 
my  hand ; 

9  There  is  none  greater  in 
this  house  than  I ;  neither  hath 
he  kept  back  any  thing  from 
me  but  thee,  because  thou  art 
his  wife:  how  then  can  I] do 
this  great  wickedness,  and  sin 
against  God? 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  she 
spake  to  Jo'seph  day  by  day, 
that  he  hearkened  not  unto  her, 
to  lie  by  her,  or  to  be  with  her. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass  about 
this  time,  that  Jo'seph  went 
into  the  house  to  do  his  busi- 
ness; and  there  was  none  of 
the  men  of  the  house  there 
within. 

12  And  she  caught  him  by  his 
garment,  saying,  Lie  with  me : 
and  he  left  his  garment  in  her 
hand,  and  fled,  and  got  him  out 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
she  saw  that  he  had  left  his  gar- 
ment in  her  hand,  and  was  fled 
forth, 

14  That  she  called  unto  the 
men  of  her  house,  and  spake 
unto  them,  saying,  See,  he  hath 
brought  in  an  Hebrew  unto  us 
to  mock  us;  he  came  in  unto 
me  to  lie  with  me,  and  I  cried 
with  a  loud  voice : 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  heard  that  I  lifted  up  my 
voice  and  cried,  that  he  left  his 
garment  with  me,  and  fled,  and 
got  him  out 

16  And  she  laid  up  his  gar- 
ment by  her,  until  his  lord 
came  home. 

17  And  she  spake  unto  him  ac- 
cording to  these  words,  saying, 
The  He'brew  servant,  which 
thou  hast  brought  unto  us,  came 
in  unto  me  to  mock  me : 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  I 
lifted  up  my  voice  and  cried, 
that  he  left  his  garment  with 
me,  and  fled  out 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
his  master  heard  the  words  of 
his  wife,  which  she  spake  unto 
him,  saying.  After  this  manner 
did  thy  servant  to  me;  that  his 
wrath  was  kindled. 

20  And  Jd'seph's  master  took 
him,  and  put  him  into  the 
prison,  a  place  where  the  king's 
prisoners  were  bound :  and  he 
was  there  in  the  prison. 

21  But  the  Lord  was  with  Jo'- 
seph, and  shewed  him  mercy,

22  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison 
committed  to  Jd'seph's  hand  all 
the  prisoners  that  were  in  the 

Srison;   and  whatsoever  they 
id  there,  he  was  the  doer  of  it

looked  not  to  any  thing  that 
was  under  his  hand;  because 
the  Lord  was  with  him,  and 
that  which  he  did,  the  Lord 
made  it  to  prosper. 

CHAPTER  40 
The  butler  and  baker  of  Pharaoh  are 
imprisoned:  I  Joseph  hath  charge 
of  them;  5  he  interpreteth  their 
dream*.  23  The  ingratitude  of  the 
butler. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after 
these  things,  that  the  but- 
ler of  the  king  of  E'gjhrt  and 
his  baker  had  offended  their 
lord  the  king  of  E'&jrpt 

2  And  Pha'raoh  was  wroth 
against  two  of  his  officers, 
against  the  chief  of  the  butlers, 
and  against  the  chief  of  the 
bakers. 

3  And  he  put  them  in  ward  in 
the  house  of  the  captain  of  the 
guard,  into  the  prison,  the  place 
where  Jd'seph  was  bound. 

4  And  the  captain  of  the  guard 
charged  Jd'seph  with  them,  and 
he  served  them:  and  they  contin- 
ued a  season  in  ward. 

5  11  And  they  dreamed  a  dream 
both  of  them,  each  man  his 
dream  in  one  night,  each  man 
according  to  the  interpretation 
of  his  dream,  the  butler  and  the 
baker  of  the  king  of  E'^jrpt, 
which  were  bound  in  the  prison. 

6  And  Jd'seph  came  in  unto 
them  in  the  morning,  and  looked 
upon  them,  and,  behold,  they 
were  sad. 

7  And  he  asked  Phfi'radh's  of- 
ficers that  were  with  him  in 
the  ward  of  his  lord's  house, 
saying,  Wherefore  look  ye  80 
sadly  to  day? 

8  And  they  said  unto  him,  We 
have  dreamed  a  dream,  and 
there  is  no  interpreter  of  it 
And  Jd'seph  said  unto  them,  Do 
not  interpretations  belong  to 
God  ?  tell  me  them,  I  pray  you. 

9  And  the  chief  butler  told  his 
dream  to.  Jd'seph,  and  said  to 
him,  In  my  dream,  behold,  a 
vine  was  before  me; 

10  And  in  the  vine  were  three 
branches :  and  it  was  as  though 
it  budded,  and  her  blossoms  shot 
forth ;  and  the  clusters  thereof 
brought  forth  ripe  grapes: 

11  And  Ph£'radh's  cup  was  in 
my  hand:  and  I  took  the 
grapes,  and  pressed  them  into 


Pha'raSh's  cup,  and  I  gave  the 
cup  into  Pha'radh's  hand. 

12  And  Jd'seph  said  unto  him, 
This  is  the  interpretation  of  it: 
The  three  branches  are  three 
days: 

13  Yet  within  three  days  shall 
PhS'radh  lift  up  thine  head,  and 
restore  thee  unto  thy  place :  and 
thou  shalt  deliver  Ph&'radh's  cup 
into  his  hand,  after  the  former 
manner  when  thou  wast  his 
butler. 

14  But  think  on  me  when  it 
shall  be  well  with  thee,  and 
shew  kindness,  I  pray  thee,  unto 
me,  and  make  mention  of  me 
unto  PhS'radh,  and  bring  me 
out  of  this  house: 

15  For  indeed  I  was  stolen 
away  out  of  the  land  of  the 
Hebrews. :  and  here  also  have  I 
done  nothing  that  they  should 
put  me  into  the  dungeon. 

16  When  the  chief  baker  saw 
that  the  interpretation  was  good, 
he  said  unto  Jd'seph,  I  also  was 
in  my  dream,  and,  oehold,  /  had 
three  white  baskets  on  my  head: 

17  And  in  the  uppermost  bas- 
ket there  was  of  ail  manner  of 
bafcemeats  for  Pha'radh;  and 
the  birds  did  eat  them  out  of 
the  basket  upon  my  head. 

18  And  Jd'seph  answered  and 
said,  This  is  the  interpretation 
thereof:  The  three  baskets  are 
three  days: 

19  Yet  within  three  days  shall 
Pha'radh  lift  up  thy  head  from 
off  thee,  and  shall  hang  thee  on 
a  tree;  and  the  birds  shall  eat 
thy  flesh  from  off  thee. 

20  If  And  it  came  to  pass  the 
third  day,  which  was  Ph&'radh's 
birthday,  that  he  made  a  feast 
unto  all  his  servants:  and  he 
lifted  up  the  head  of  the  chief 
butler  and  of  the  chief  baker 
among  his  servants. 

21  And  he  restored  the  chief 
butler  unto  his  butlership  again ; 
and  he  gave  the  cup  into  Phfi'- 
radh's  hand : 

22  But  he  hanged  the  chief 
baker:  as  Jd'seph  had  inter- 
preted to  them 

23  Yet  did  not  the  chief  butler 
remember  Jd'seph,  but  forgat 
him.

out  of  the  river  seven  well  fa- 
voured kine  and  f  atfleshed ;  and 
they  fed  in  a  meadow. 

3  And,  behold,  seven  other 
kine  came  up  after  them  out  of 
the  river,  ill  favoured  and  lean- 
fleshed  ;  and  stood  by  the  other 
kine  upon  the  brink  of  the  river. 

4  And  the  ill  favoured  and 
leanfleshed  kine  did  eat  up  the 
seven  well  favoured  and  fat 
kine.    So  Ph&'radh  awoke. 

5  And  he  slept  and  dreamed 
the  second  time:  and,  behold, 
seven  ears  of  corn  came  up  upon 
one  stalk,  rank  and  good. 

6  And,  behold,  seven  thin  ears 
and  blasted  with  the  east  wind 

rung  up  after  them. 

And  the  seven  thin  ears  de- 
voured the  seven  rank  and  full 
ears.  And  Ph&'radh  awoke,  and, 
behold,  it  was  a  dream. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning  that  his  spirit  was 
troubled ;  and  he  sent  and  called 
for  all  the  magicians  of  Cgypt, 
and  all  the  wise  men  thereof: 
and  Ph&'radh  told  them  his 
dream;  but  there  was  none 
that  could  interpret  them  unto 
PharaOh. 

9  IFThen  spake  the  chief  butler 
unto  Ph&'radh,  saying,  I  do  re- 
member my  faults  this  day : 

10  Ph&'radh  was  wroth  with 
his  servants,  and  put  me  in  ward 
in  the  captain  of  the  guard's 
house,  both  me  and  the  chief 
baker: 

11  And  we  dreamed  a  dream 
in  one  night,  I  and  he;  we 
dreamed  each  man  according  to 
the  interpretation  of  his  dream. 

12  And  there  was  there  with 
us  a  young  man,  an  Hebrew, 
servant  to  the  captain  of  the 
guard ;  and  we  told  him,  and  he 
interpreted  to  us  our  dreams; 
to  each  man  according  to  his 
dream  he  did  interpret 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he 
interpreted  to  us,  so  it  was;  me 
he  restored  unto  mine  office, 
and  him  he  hanged. 

14  IT  Then  PmTradh  sent  and 
called  Jd'&eph,  and  they  brought 
him  hastily  out  of  the  dungeon : 
and  he  shaved  himself,  and 
changed  his  raiment,  and  came 
in  unto  Ph&'radh. 

15  And  Pha'radh  said  unto 
Jd'seph,  J  have  dreamed  a  dream, 
and  there  is  none  that  can  inter- 
pret it :  and  I  have  heard  say  of 
thee,  that  thou  canst  understand 
a  dream  to  interpret  it 

16  And  Jd'seph  answered  Ph&'« 
radh,  saying.  It  is  not  in  me: 
God  shall  give  Ph&'radh  an  an- 
swer of  peace. 


17  And  Ph&'radh  said  unto 
Jd'seph,  In  my  dream,  behold,  I 
stood  upon  the  bank  of  the 
river: 

18  And,  behold,  there  came  up 
out  of  the  river  seven  kine,  fat- 
fleshed  and  well  favoured ;  and 
they  fed  in  a  meadow: 

19  And,  behold,  seven  other 
kine  came  up  after  them,  poor 
and  very  ill  favoured  and  lean- 
fleshed, such  as  I  never  saw  in 
all  the  land  of  E'fcypt  for  bad- 
ness: 

20  And  the  lean  and  the  ill 
favoured  kine  did  eat  up  the  first 
seven  fat  kine: 

21  And  when  they  had  eaten 
them  up,  it  could  not  be  known 
that  they  had  eaten  them ;  but 
they  were  still  ill  favoured,  as 
at  the  beginning.     So  I  awoke. 

22  And  I  saw  in  my  dream,  and, 
behold,  seven  ears  came  up  in 
one  stalk,  full  and  good : 

23  And,  behold,  seven  ears, 
withered,  thin,  arid  blasted  with 
the  east  wind,  sprung  up  after 
them: 

24  And  the  thin  ears  devoured 
the  seven  good  ears :  and  I  told 
this  unto  the  magicians;  but 
there  was  none  that  could  de- 
clare it  to  me. 

25  IT  And  Jd'seph  said  unto 
Ph&'radh,  The  dream  of  Ph&'- 
radh is  one:  God  hath  shewed 
Ph&'radh  what  he  is  about  to  do. 

26  The  seven  good  kine  are 
seven  years;  and  the  seven 
good  ears  are  seven  years:  the 
dream  is  one. 

27  And  the  seven  thin  and  ill 
favoured  kine  that  came  up 
after  them  are  seven  years ;  and 
the  seven  empty  ears  blasted 
with  the  east  wind  shall  be 
seven  years  of  famine. 

28  This  is  the  thing  which  I 
have  spoken    unto   rh&'radh 
What  God  is  about  to  do  he 
sheweth  unto  Ph&'radh. 

29  Behold,  there  come  seven 
years  of  great  plenty  through- 
out all  the  land  of  ETgjrpt : 

30  And  there  shall  arise  after 
them  seven  years  of  famine; 
and  all  the  plenty  shall  be  for- 
gotten in  the  land  of  E'gypt; 
and  the  famine  shall  consume 
the  land ; 

31  And  the  plenty  shall  not 
be  known  in  the  land  by  reason 
of  that  famine  following;  for  it 
shall  be  very  grievous. 

32  And  for  that  the  dream 
was  doubled  unto  Ph&'radh 
twice;  it  is  because  the  thing 
is  established  by  God,  and  God 
will  shortly  bring  it  to  pass. 

33  Now  therefore  let  Ph&'radh

wise,  and  set  him  over  the  land 
of  E'gypt 

34  Let  Pha'raoh  do  this,  and 
let  him  appoint  officers  over  the 
land,  and  take  up  the  fifth  part 
of  the  land  of  E'gypt  in  the 
seven  plenteous  years. 

35  And  let  them  gather  all  the 
food  of  those  good  years  that 
come,  and  lav  up  corn  under 
the  hand  of  Pha'raoh,  and  let 
them  keep  food  in  the  cities. 

36  And  that  food  shall  be  for 
store  to  the  land  against  the 
seven  years  of  famine,  which 
shall  be  in  the  land  of  E'gypt ; 
that  the  land  perish  not  through 
the  famine. 

37  f  And  the  thing  was  good 
in  the  eyes  of  Pha'raoh,  and  in 
the  eyes  of  all  his  servants. 

38  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  his 
servants.  Can  we  find  such  a 
one  as  this  is,  a  man  in  whom 
the  Spirit  of  God  is  f 

39  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto 
Jd'aeph,  Forasmuch  as  God  hath 
shewed  thee  all  this,  there  is 
none  so  discreet  and  wise  as 
thou  art : 

40  Thou  shalt  be  over  my 
house,  and  according  unto  thy 
word  shall  all  my  people  be 
ruled :  only  in  the  throne  will  I 
be  greater  than  thou. 

41  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  Jo- 
seph, See,  I  have  set  thee  over 
all  the  land  of  £7" 

42  And  Pha'raoh  took  off  his 
ring  from  his  hand,  and  put  it 
upon  Jo'seph's  hand,  and  ar- 
rayed him  in  vestures  of  fine 
linen,  and  put  a  gold  chain  about 
his  neck ; 

43  And  he  made  him  to  ride  in 
the  second  chariot  which  he 
had ;  and  they  cried  before  him, 
Bow  the  knee:  and  he  made 
him  ruler  over  all  the  land  of 
E-^rpt 

44  And  Pha'raGh  said  unto 
Jd'aeph,  I  am  Pha'raoh,  and 
without  thee  shall  no  man  lift 
up  his  hand  or  foot  in  all  the 
land  of  E'gypt 

45  And  Pha'raoh  called  Jo'- 
seph's name  ZSph'nath-pa-a- 
n£'ah ;  and  he  gave  him  to  wife 
As'e-nath  the  daughter  of  P5tl- 
phe'rah  priest  of  On.  And  Jo' 
geph  went  out  over  all  the  land 
of  E'gypt, 

46  And  Jd'aeph  was  thirty 
years  old  when  he  stood  before 
Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt  And 
Jd'aeph  went  out  from  the  pres- 
ence of  Pha'raoh,  and  went 
throughout  all  the  land  of 
E'gypt. 

47  And  in  the  seven  plenteous 


by  handfuls. 

48  And  he  gathered  up  all  the 
food  of  the  seven  years,  which 
were  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and 
laid  up  the  food  in  the  cities: 
the  food  of  the  field,  which  was 
round  about  every  city,  laid  he 
up  in  the  same. 

49  And  Jd'seph  gathered  com 
as  the  sand  of  the  sea,  very 
much,  until  he  left  numbering; 
for  it  was  without  number. 

50  And  unto  Jd'aeph  were  born 
two  sons  before  the  years  of 
famine  came,  which  As'e*afith 
the  daughter  of  Part-phe'rah 
priest  of  On  bare  unto  him. 

51  And  Jd'aeph  called  the 
name  of  the  firstborn  Ma-naV- 
seh:  For  God,  said  he,  hath 
made  me  forget  all  my  toil,  and 
all  my  father's  house. 

52  And  the  name  of  the  second 
called  he  E'phra-im:  For  God 
hath  caused  me  to  be  fruitful  in 
the  land  of  my  affliction. 

53  If  And  the  seven  years  of 
plenteousness,  that  was  in  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  were  ended. 

54  And  the  seven  years  of 
dearth  began  to  come,  accord- 
ing as  Jo'seph  had  said :  and  the 
dearth  was  in  all  lands;  but  in 
all  the  land  of  E'gypt  there  was 
bread. 

55  And  when  all  the  land  of 
E'gypt  was  famished,  the  neople 
cried  to  Pha'radh  for  bread:  and 
Pha'raoh  said  unto  all  the 
E-gyp'tians,  Go  unto  Jd'aeph; 
what  he  saith  to  you,  da. 

56  And  the  famine  was  over 
all  the  face  of  the  earth :  And 
Jd'aeph  opened  all  the  store- 
houses, and  sold  unto  the 
£-£yp'tiang;  and  the  famine 
waxed  sore  in  the  land  of 
E'gypt 

57  And  all  countries  came  into 
E'gypt  to  Jd'aeph  for  to  buy 
corn ;  because  that  the  famine 
was  so  sore  in  all  lands. 

CHAPTER  42 
Jacob  sendeth  his  ten  son*  to  buy  corn

brother,  Ja'cob  sent  not  with 
his  brethren ;  for  he  said,  Lest

im, 

5  And  the  sons  of  Is/ra-el  came 
to  buy  corn  among  those  that 
came :  for  the  famine  was  in  the 
land  of  Ca'naan. 

6  And  JS'seph  was  the  gov- 
ernor over  the  land,  and  he  it 
was  that  sold  to  all  the  people  of 
the  land:  and  Jd'seph's  breth- 
ren came,  and  bowed  down 
themselves  before  him  with 
their  faces  to  the  earth. 

7  And  Jo'geph  saw  his  breth- 
ren, and  he  knew  them,  but 
made  himself  strange  unto 
them,  and  spake  roughly  unto 
them;  and  he  said  unto  them, 
Whence  come  ye?  And  they 
said,  From  the  land  of  Ca'naan 
to  buy  food. 

8  And  JS'seph  knew  his  breth- 
ren, but  they  knew  not  him. 

9  And  Joseph  remembered  the 
dreams  which  he  dreamed  of 
them,  and  said  unto  them.  Ye 
are  spies ;  to  see  the  nakedness 
of  the  land  ye  are  come. 

10  And  they  said  unto  him, 
Nay,  my  lord,  but  to  buy  food 
are  thy  servants  come. 

11  We  are  all  one  man's  sons'; 
we  are  true  men,  thy  servants 
are  no  spies. 

12  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Nay,  but  to  see  the  nakedness 
of  the  land  ye  are  come. 

13  And  they  said,  Thy  servants 
are  twelve  brethren,  the  sons 
of  one  man  in  the  land  of  Ca'- 
naan; and,  behold,  the  young- 
est is  this  day  with  our  father, 
and  one  is  not 

14  And  Jo'geph  said  unto  them, 
That  is  it  that  I  spake  unto 
you,  saying,  Ye  are  spies : 

15  Hereby  ye  shall  be  proved 
By  the  life  of  Pha'radh  ye  shall 
not  go  forth  hence,  except  your 
youngest  brother  come  hither. 

16  Send  one  of  you,  and  let 
him  fetch  your  brother,  and  ye 
shall  be  kept  in  prison,  that 
your  words  may  be  proved, 
whether  there  be  amy  truth  in 
you:  or  else  by  the  life  of  Phfi' 
ra5h  surely  ye  are  spies. 

17  And  he  put  them  all  to- 
gether into  ward  three  days. 

18  And  Jd'seph  said  unto  them 
the  third  day,  This  do,  and  live ;

words  be  verified,  and  ye  shall 
not  die.    And  they  did  so. 

21  1  And  they  said  one  to  an- 
other, We  are  verily  guilty  con- 
cerning our  brother,  in  that  we 
saw  the  anguish  of  his  soul, 
when  he  besought  us,  and  we 
would  not  hear;  therefore  is 
this  distress  come  upon  us. 

22  And  Reuben  answered 
them,  saving,  Spake  I  not  unto 
you,  saying,  Do  not  sin  against 
the  child;  and  ye  would  not 
hear?  therefore,  behold,  also 
his  blood  is  required. 

23  And  they  knew  not  that  JS'- 
seph understood  them;  for  he 
spake  unto  them  by  an  inter- 
preter. 

24  And  he  turned  himself 
about  from  them,  and  wept; 
and  returned  to  them  again,  and 
communed  with  them,  and  took 
from  them  Slm'eon,  and  bound 
him  before  their  eyes. 

25  TThen  Jo'geph  commanded 
to  fill  their  sacks  with  corn,  and 
to  restore  every  man's  money 
into  his  sack,  and  to  give  them 
provision  for  the  way :  and  thus 
did  he  unto  them. 

26  And  they  laded  their  asses 
with  the  corn,  and  departed 
thence. 

27  And  as  one  of  them  opened 
his  sack  to  give  his  ass  proven- 
der in  the  inn,  he  espied  his 
money;  for,  behold,  it  was  in 
his  sack's  mouth. 

28  And  he  said  unto  his  breth- 
ren, My  money  is  restored ;  and, 
lo,  it  is  even  in  my  sack :  and 
their  heart  failed  them,  and 
they  were  afraid,  saying  one  to 
another,  What  is  this  that  God 
hath  done  unto  us? 

29  f  And  they  came  unto  Ja'- 
cob their  father  unto  the  land 
of  Ca'naan,  and  told  him  all 
that  befell  unto  them ;  saying, 

30  The  man,  who  is  the  lord 
of  the  land,  spake  roughly  to 
us,  and  took  us  for  spies  of  the 
country. 

31  And  we  said  unto  him,  We 
are  true  men ;  we  are  no  spies : 

32  We  be  twelve  brethren,  sons 
of  our  father;  one  is  not,  and 
the  youngest  is  this  day  with 
our  father  in  the  land  of  Ca'- 
naan. 

33  And  the  man,  the  lord  of 
the  country,  said  unto  us,  Here- 
by shall  I  know  that  ye  are  true 
men  ;  leave  one  of  your  breth- 
ren here  with  me,  and  take 
food  for  the  famine  of  your 
households,  and  be  gone : 

34  And  bring  your  youngest 
brother  unto  me:  then  shall  I

that  ye  are  true  men :  so  will 
I  deliver  you  your  brother,  and 
ye  shall  traffick  in  the  land. 

35  And  it  came  to  pass  as  they 
emptied  their  sacks,  that,  be- 
hold, every  man's  bundle  of 
money  was  in  his  sack:  and 
when  both  they  and  their  father 
saw  the  bundles  of  money,  they 
were  afraid. 

36  And  Ja'cob  their  father  said 
unto  them,  Me  have  ye  bereaved 
of  my  children :  J6  seph  is  not, 
and  SIm'e-on  is  not,  and  ye  will 
take  Bgn'ja-min  away:  all  these 
things  are  against  me. 

37  And  Reu/ben  spake  unto 
his  father,  saying,  Slay  my  two 
sons,  if  I  bring  him  not  to  thee : 
deliver  him  into  my  hand,  and 
I  will  bring  him  to  thee  again. 

38  And  he  said,  My  son  shall 
not  go  down  with  you;  for  his 
brother  is  dead,  and  he  is  left 
alone:  if  mischief  befall  him 
by  the  way  in  the  which  ye  go, 
then  shall  ye  bring  down  my 
gray  hairs  with  sorrow  to  the 
grave. 

CHAPTER  43 

Jacob  is  hardly  persuaded  to  send 
Benjamin.  15  Joseph  entertaineth 
his  brethren;  19  their  fears;  31  he 
maketh  them  a  feast. 

AND  the  famine  was  sore  in 
the  land. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  had  eaten  up  the  corn 
which  they  had  brought  out  of 
£  gypt,  their  father  said  unto 
them.  Go  again,  buy  us  a  little 
food. 

3  And  Ju'dah  spake  unto  him, 
saying,  The  man  did  solemnly 
protest  unto  us,  saying,  Ye  shall 
not  see  my  face,  except  your 
brother  be  with  you. 

4  If  thou  wilt  send  our  brother 
with  us,  we  will  go  down  and 
buy  thee  food : 

5  But  if  thou  wilt  not  send 
him,  we  will  not  go  down :  for 
the  man  said  unto  us,  Ye  shall 
not  see  my  face,  except  your 
brother  be  with  you. 

6  And  Is/ra-el  said,  Wherefore 
dealt  ye  so  ill  with  me,  as  to  tell 
the  man  whether  ye  had  yet  a 
brother? 

7  And  thev  said,  The  man 
asked  us  straitly  of  our  state,  and 
of  our  kindred,  saying,  Is  your 
father  yet  alive?  have  ye  an- 
other brother  ?  and  we  told  him 
according  to  the  tenor  of  these 
words :  could  we  certainly  know 
that  he  would  say,  Bring  your 
brother  down  ? 

8  And  Ju'dah  said  unto  Is/ra-el 
his  father,  Send  the  lad  with 
me,  and  we  will  arise  and  go ; 
that  we  may  live,  and  not  die, 


11 


both  we,  and  thou,  and  also  our 
little  ones. 

9  I  will  be  surety  for  him ;  of 
my  hand  shalt  thou  require 
him:  if  I  bring;  him  not  unto 
thee,  and  set  him  before  thee, 
then  let  me  bear  the  blame  for 
ever: 

10  For  except  we  had  lingered, 
surely  now  we  had  returned  this 
second  time. 

11  And  their  father  Is/ra-el 
said  unto  them,  If  it  must  be  so 
now,  do  this;  take  of  the  best 
fruits  in  the  land  in  your  ves- 
sels, and  carry  down  the  man  a 
present,  a  little  balm,  and  a  lit- 
tle honey,  spices,  and  myrrh, 
nuts,  and  almonds: 

12  And  take  double  money  in 
your  hand ;  and  the  money  that 
was  brought  again  in  the  mouth 
of  your  sacks,  carry  it  again  in 
your  hand ;  peradventure  it  was 
an  oversight: 

13  Take  also  your  brother,  and 
arise,  go  again  unto  the  man 

14  And  God  Almighty  give 
ou  mercy  before  the  man,  that 
e  may  send  away  your  other 

brother,  and  Ben'ja-min.  If  I 
be  bereaved  of  my  children,  I 
am  bereaved. 

"  15  IT  And  the  men  took  that 
present,  and  they  took  double 
money  in  their  hand,  and  Ben' 
ja-min ;  and  rose  up,  and  went 
down  to  £'g?pt,  and  stood  be- 
fore Joseph. 

16  And  when  JG'geph  saw 
Ben'ja-min  with  them,  he  said 
to  the  ruler  of  his  house,  Bring 
these  men  home,  and  slay,  and 
make  ready;  for  these  men 
shall  dine  with  me  at  noon. 

17  And  the  man  did  as  J5'seph 
bade ;  and  the  man  brought  the 
men  into  Joseph's  house. 

18  And  the  men  were  afraid, 
because  they  were  brought  into 
J5'seph's  house ;  and  they  said, 
Because  of  the  money  that  was 
returned  in  our  sacks  at  the  first 
time  are  we  brought  in ;  that  he 
mav  seek  occasion  against  us, 
and  fall  upon  us,  and  take  us  for 
bondmen,  and  our  asses. 

19  And  they  came  near  to  the 
steward  of  JO'seph's  house,  and 
they  communed  with  him  at  the 
door  of  the  house, 

20  And  said,  O  sir,  we  came 
indeed  down  at  the  first  time  to 
buy  food: 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
we  came  to  the  inn,  that  we 
opened  our  sacks,  and,  behold, 
every  man's  money  was  in  the 
mouth  of  his  sack,  our  money 
in  full  weight:  and  we  have 
brought  it  again  in  our  hand*

22  And  other  money  have  we 
brought  down  in  our  hands  to 
buy  food:  we  cannot  tell  who 
put  our  money  in  our  sacks. 

23  And  he  said,  Peace  be  to 
you,  fear  not:  your  God,  and  the 
God  of  your  father,  hath  given 

ou  treasure  in    your  sacks: 
had  your  money.    And  he 
brought    Slm'e-on    out    unto 
them. 

24  And  the  man  brought  the 
men  into  Joseph's  house,  and 
gave  them  water,  and  they 
washed  their  feet ;  and  he  gave 
their  asses  provender. 

25  And  they  made  ready  the 
present  against  Jo'&eph  came  at 
noon :  for  they  heard  that  they 
should  eat  bread  there. 

26  And  when  J&'geph  came 
home,  they  brought  him  the 
present  which  was  in  their  hand 
into  the  house,  and  bowed  them- 
selves to  him  to  the  earth. 

27  And  he  asked  them  of  their 
welfare,  and  said,  Is  your  father 
well,  the  old  man  of  whom  ye 
spake  ?    i*  he  yet  alive  ? 

28  And  they  answered,  Thy 
servant  our  father  is  in  good 
health,  he  is  yet  alive.  And 
thev  bowed  down  their  heads, 
and  made  obeisance. 

29  And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes, 
and  saw  his  brother  Ben'ja-min, 
his  mother's  son,  and  said,  Is 
this  your  younger  brother,  of 
whom  ye  spake  unto  me?  And 
he  said,  God  be  gracious  unto 
thee,  my  son. 

30  Ana  Jo'seph  made  haste; 
for  his  bowels  did  yearn  upon 
his  brother:  and  he  sought 
where  to  weep ;  and  he  entered 
into  his  chamber,  and  wept 
there. 

31  And  he  washed  his  face, 
and  went  out,  and  refrained 
himself,  and  said,  Set  on  bread. 

32  And  they  set  on  for  him  by 
himself,  and  for  them  by  them-

selves,  and  for  the  &gyp'tiana, 
which  did  eat  with  him,  by 
themselves:  because  the  Ergfp' 
tianft  might  not  eat  bread  with 
the  Hebrews;  for  that  is  an 
abomination  unto  the  &gyp'- 
tians. 

33  And  they  sat  before  him, 
the  firstborn  according  to  his 
birthright,  and  the  youngest 
according  to  his  vouth:  and 
the  men  marvelled  one  at  an 
other. 

34  And  he  took  and  sent 
messes  unto  them  from  before 
him :  but  BSn'ja-mm's  mess  was 
five  times  so  much  as  any  of 
their*s.  And  thev  drank,  and 
were  merry  with  him. 


Fill  the  men's  sacks  with  f < 
as  much  as  they  can  carry,  and 
put  every  man  s  money  in  his 
sack's  mouth. 

2  And  put  my  cup,  the  silver 
cup,  in  the  sack's  mouth  of  the 
youngest,  and  his  corn  money. 
And  he  did  according  to  the 
word  that  Jd'seph  had  spoken. 

3  As  soon  as  the  morning  was 
light,  the  men  were  sent  away, 
they  and  their  asses. 

4  And  when  they  were  gone 
out  of  the  city,  ana  not  yet  far 
off,  JS'seph  said  unto  his  stew- 
ard, Up,  follow  after  the  men ; 
and  when  thou  dost  overtake 
them,  say  unto  them,  Wherefore 
have  ye  rewarded  evil  for  good  ? 

5  Is  not  this  it  in  which  my 
lord  drinketh,  and  whereby  in- 
deed he  divineth  ?  ye  have  done 
evil  in  so  doing: 

6  And  he  overtook  them,  and 
he  spake  unto  them  these  same 
words. 

7  And  they  said  unto  him, 
Wherefore  saith  my  lord  these 
words?  God  forbid  that  thy 
servants  should  do  according  to 
this  thing:) 

8  Behold,  the  money,  which 
we  found  in  our  sacks*  mouths, 
we  brought  again  unto  thee  out 
of  the  land  of  Ca'naan:  how 
then  should  we  steal  out  of  thy 
lord's  house  silver  or  gold? 

9  With  whomsoever  of  thy 
servants  it  be  found,  both  let 
him  die,  and  we  also  will  be  my 
lord's  bondmen. 

10  And  he  said,  Now  also  fet  it 
be  according  unto  your  words 
he  with  whom  it  is  found  shall 
be  my  servant;  and  ye  shall  be 
blameless. 

11  Then  they  speedily  took 
down  every  man  his  sack  to  the 
ground,  and  opened  every  man 
his  sack.  ' 

12  And  he  searched,  and  be- 
gan at  the  eldest,  and  left  at 
the  youngest:  and  the  cup  was 
found  in  Bfin'ja-mln's  sack. 

13  Then  they  rent  their 
clothes,  and  laded  every  man 
his  ass,  and  returned  to  the  city. 

14  And  Ju'dah  and  his  breth- 
ren came  to  Joseph's  house; 
for  he  was  yet  there :  and  they 
fell  before  him  on  the  ground. 

15  And  Jd'geph  said  unto  them, 
What  deed  is  this  that  ye  have 
done?  wot  ye  not  that  such  a 
man  as  I  can  certainly  divine?

16  And  JQ'dah  said,  What  shall 
we  say  unto  my  lord  ?  what  shall 
we  speak  ?  or  how  shall  we  clear 
ourselves  ?  God  hath  found  out 
the  iniquity  of  thy  servants: 
behold,  we  are  my  lord's  serv- 
ants, both  we,  and  he  also  with 
whom  the  cup  is  found. 

17  And  he  said,  God  forbid 
that  I  should  do  so:  but  the 
man  in  whose  hand  the  cup  is 
found,  he  shall  be  my  servant ; 
and  as  for  you,  get  you  up  in 
peace  unto  your  father. 

18  IF  Then  Ju'dah  came  near 
unto  him,  and  said,  Oh  my  lord, 
let  thy  servant,  I  pray  thee, 
speak  a  word  in  my  lord's  ears, 
and  let  not  thine  anger  burn 
against  thy  servant:  for  thou 
art  even  as  Pha'radh. 

19  My  lord  asked  his  servants, 
saying,  Have  ye  a  father,  or  a 
brother? 

20  And  we  said  unto  my  lord, 
We  have  a  father,  an  old  man, 
and  a  child  of  his  old  age,  a  little 
one;  and  his  brother  is  dead,  and 
he  alone  is  left  of  his  mother, 
and  his  father  loveth  him. 

21  And  thou  saidst  unto  thy 
servants,  Bring  him  down  unto 
me,'  that  I  may  set  mine  eyes 
upon  him. 

22  And  we  said  unto  my  lord, 
The  lad  cannot  leave  his  father : 
for  if  he  should  leave  his  fa- 
ther, his  father  would  die. 

23  And  thou  saidst  unto  thy 
servants,  Except  your  youngest 
brother  come  down  with  you, 
ye  shall  see  my  face  no  more. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass  when 
we  came  up  unto  thy  servant 
my  father,  we  told  him  the 
words  of  my  lord. 

25  And  our  father  said,  Go 
again,  and  buy  us  a  little  food. 

26  And  we  said,  We  cannot  go 
down :  if  our  youngest  brother 
be  with  us,  then  will  we  go 
down :  for  we  may  not  see  the 
man's  face,  except  our  youngest 
brother  be  with  us. 

27  And  thy  servant  my  father 
said  unto  us,  Ye  know  that  my 
wife  bare  me  two  sons : 

28  And  the  one  went  out  from 
me,  and  I  said,  Surely  he  is  torn 
in  pieces;  and  I  saw  him  not 
since :     - 

29  And  if  ye  take  this  also 
from  me,  and  mischief  befall 
him,  ye  shall  bring  down  my 
gray  hairs  with  sorrow  to  the 
grave. 

30  Now  therefore  when  I  come 
to  thy  servant  my  father,  and 
the  lad  be  not  with  us ;  seeing 
that  his  life  is  bound  up  in  the 
lad's  life; 


31  It  shall  come  to  pass,  when 
he  seeth  that  the  fad  is  not 
with  us,  that  he  will  die :  and 
thy  servants  shall  bring  down 
the  gray  hairs  of  thy  servant 
our  father  with  sorrow  to  the 
grave. 

32  For  thy  servant  became 
surety  for  the  lad  unto  my 
father,  saying,  If  I  bring  him 
not  unto  thee,  then  I  shall  bear 
the  blame  to  my  father  for  ever. 

33  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
let  thy  servant  abide  instead  of 
the  lad  a  bondman  to  my  lord 
and  let  the  lad  go  up  with  his 
brethren. 

34  For  how  shall  I  go  up  to  my 
father,  and  the  lad  be  not  with 
me  ?  lest  peradventure  I  see  the 
evil  that  shall  come  on  my 
father. 

CHAPTER  45 
Joseph  maketh  himself  known,  to  his 
brethren,  and  comforteth  them  in 
God's  providence.  9  He  sendeth/or 
his  father.  27  The  spirit  of  Jacob 
is  revived, 

THEN  Jd'seph  could  not  re- 
frain himself  before  all 
them  that  stood  by  him ;  and  he 
cried,  Cause  every  man  to  go 
out  from  me.  And  there  stood 
no  man  with  him,  while  Jd'seph 
made  himself  known  unto  his 
brethren. 

2  And  he  wept  aloud :  and  the 
fi-gjrp'tians  and  the  house  of 
Phk'raSh  heard. 

3  Arid  Jd'seph  said  unto  his 
brethren,  I  am  Jd'seph;  doth 
my  father  yet  live?  And  his 
brethren  could  not  answer  him ; 
for  they  were  troubled  at  his 
presence. 

4  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  his 
brethren,  Come  near  to-  me,  I 
pray  you.  And  they  came  near. 
And  he  said,  I  am  Jd'geph  your 
brother,  whom  ye  sold  into 
E'gftpt 

5  Now  therefore  be  not  grieved, 
nor  angry  with  yourselves,  that, 
ye  sold  me  hither:  for  God  did 
send  me  before  you  to  preserve 
life. 

6  For  these  two  years  fartfc  the 
famine  been  in  the  land:  and 
yet  there  are  five  years,  in  the 
which  there  shall  neither  Be 
earing  nor  harvest 

7  And  God  sent  me  before  you 
to  preserve  you  a  posterity  in 
the  earth,  and  to  save  your 
lives  by  a  great  deliverance. 

8  So  now  it  was  not  you  that 
sent  me  hither,  but  God:  and 
he  hath  made  me  a  father  to 
Pha'radh,  and  lord  of  all  his 
house,  and  a  ruler  throughout 
all  the  land  of  E'gypt

father,  and  say  unto  him,  Thus 
saith  thy  son  Jo'seph,  God  hath 
made  me  lord  of  all  Egypt: 
come  down  unto  me,  tarry  not : 

10  And  thou  shalt  dwell  in  the 
land  of  Go'shen,  and  thou  shalt 
he  near  unto  me,  thou,  and  thy 
children,  and  thy  children's 
children,  and  thy  flocks,  and  thy 
herds,  and  all  that  thou  hast : 

11  And  there  will  I  nourish 
thee;  for  yet  there  are  five 
years  of  famine;  lest  thou,  and 
thy  household,  and  all  that  thou 
hast,  come  to  poverty. 

12  And,  behold,  your  eyes  see, 
and  the  eyes  of  my  brother 
Ben'ja-min,  that  it  is  my  mouth 
that  speaketh  unto  vou. 

13  Aiid  ye  shall  tell  my  father 
of  all  my  glory  in  E'g^pt,  and 
of  all  that  ye  have  seen;  and 
ye  shall  haste  and  bring  down 
my  father  hither. 

14  And  he  fell  upon  his  brother 
Bgn'ja-min's  neck,  and  wept; 
and  Ben'ja-min  wept  upon  nis 
neck. 

15  Moreover  he  kissed  all  his 
brethren,  and  wept  upon  them : 
and  after  that  his  brethren 
talked  with  him. 

16  HAnd  the  fame  thereof  was 
heard  in  Pha'raGh'a  house,  say- 
ing; Joseph's  brethren  are 
come :  and  it  pleased  Pha'ra6b 
well,  and  his  servants. 

17  AndPha'raoh  said  unto  Jo- 
seph, Say  unto  thy  brethren, 
This  do  ye;  lade  your  beasts, 
and  go,  get  you  unto  the  land 
of  Ca'naan ; 

18  And  take  your  father  and 
your  households,  and  come  unto 
me:  and  I  will  give  you  the 
good  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and 
ye  shall  eat  the  fat  of  the  land. 

19  Now  thou  art  commanded, 
this  do  ye;  take  you  wagons 
out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  for 
your  little  ones,  and  tor  your 
wives,  and  bring  your  father, 
and  come. 

20  Also  regard  not  your  stuff ; 
for  the  good  of  all  the  land  of 
E'gjrpt  w  your's. 

21  And  the  children  of  la'ra-el 
did  so :  and  Joseph  gave  them 
wagons,  according  to  the  com- 
mandment of  Pha'radh,  and 
gave  them  provision  for  the 
way. 

22  To  all  of  them  he  gave  each 
man  changes  of  raiment ;  but  to 
Bgn'ja-min  he  gave  three  hun- 
dred pieces  of  silver,  and  five 
changes  of  raiment 

23  And  to  his  father  he  sent 
after  this  manner;  ten  asses 
laden  with  the  good  things  of 
&tSfP*>  and  ten  she  asses  laden 


with  corn  and  bread  and  meat  ch.14.18,  Bread, 
for  his  father  by  the  way. 

24  So  he  sent  his  brethren 
away,  and  they  departed:  and 
he  said  unto  them,  See  that  ye 
fall  not  out  by  the  way. 

25  And  they  went  up  out  of 
E'gjpt  and  came  into  the  land 
of  Ca'naan  unto  Ja'cob  their 
father, 

26  And  told  him,  saying,  Jo'- 
seph is  yet  alive,  and  he  is 
governor  over  all  the  land  of 
E'gypt-  And  J&'cob's  heart 
fainted,  for  he  believed  them 
not 

27  And  they  told  him  all  the 
words  of  Jd'&eph,  which  he  had 
said  unto  them:  and  when  he 
saw  the  wagons  which  Jo'seph 
had  sent  to  carry  him,  the  spirit 
of  Ja'cob  their  father  revived 

28  And  Ij'ra-el  said,  It  ia 
enough ;  Jo'seph  my  son  ia  yet 
alive :  I  will  go  and  see  him  be* 
fore  I  die. 

CHAPTER  46 

Jacob  is  comforted  by  God  at  Beer- 
sheba  :  5  he  goeth  into  Egypt :  8  the 
number  of  his  family :  28  Joseph 
tneeteth  him. 

AND  la'ra-el  took  his  journey 
with  all  that  he  had,  and 
came  to  BS'er-she'ba,  and  of- 
fered sacrifices  unto  the  God  of 
his  father  I'saac 

2  And  God  spake  unto  la'ra-el 
in  the  visions  of  the  night  And 
said,  Ja'cob,  Ja'cob.  And  he 
said,  Here  am  L 

3  And  he'  said,  I  am  God,  the 
God  of  thy  father:  fear  not  to 
go  down  into  E'g^pt;  for  I  will 
there  make  of  thee  a  great  na- 
tion: 

4  I  will  go  down  with  thee  into 
E'&Jpt ;  and  I  will  also  surely 
bring  thee  up  again :  and  J5'- 
seph  shall  put  his  hand  upon 
thine  eyes. 

5  And  Ja'cob  rose  up  from 
Be'er-she'ba:  and  the  sons  of 
la'ra-el  carried  Ja'cob  their  fa- 
ther, and  their  little  ones,  and 
their  wives,  in  the  wagons  which 
Pha'raoh  had  sent  to  carry  him, 

6  And  they  took  their  cattle, 
and  their  goods,  which  they  had 
gotten  in  the  land  of  Ca'nSan, 
and  came  into  E'gjfat  Ja'cob, 
and  all  his  seed  with  him : 

7  His  sons,  and  his  sons'  sons 
with  him,  his  daughters,  and 
his  sons'  daughters,  and  all  his 
seed  brought  he  with  him  into 
£'gfr>t 

8  IF  And  these  are  the  names 
of  the  children  of  la'ra-el,  which 
came  into  E'gypt  Ja'cob  and 
his  sons :  Reu/ben,  Ja'cob's  first- 
born.

brethren,  and  my  father's  house, 
which  were  in  the  land  of  Ca' 
nSan,  are  come  unto  me ; 

32  And  the  men  are  shep- 
herds, for  their  trade  hath  been 
to  feed  cattle;  and  they  have 
brought  their  flocks,  and  their 
herds,  and  all  that  they  have. 

33  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  Pha'raOh  shall  call  you, 
and  shall  say,  What  is  your  oc- 
cupation ? 

34  That  ye  shall  sav,  Thy  serv- 
ants' trade  hath  been  about 
cattle  from  our  youth  even  until 
now,  both  we,  and  also  our 
fathers:  that  ye  may  dwell  in 
the  land  of  Gd'shen ;  for  every 
shepherd  is  an  abomination 
unto  the  E-gyp'tiang. 

CHAPTER  47 

Joseph  presentethfive  of  his  brethren,

land  are  we  come ;  far  thy  serv- 
ants have  no  pasture  for  their 
flocks;  for  the  famine  is  sore 
in  the  land  of  Ca'naan:  now 
therefore,  we  pray  thee,  let  thy 
servants  dwell  in  the  land  of 
Gd'shen. 

5  And  Pha'radh  spake  unto  Jd'- 
seph, saying,  Thy  father  and 
thy  brethren  are  come  unto 
thee: 

6  The  land  of  E'gypt  is  before 
thee;  in  the  best  of  the  land 
make  thy  father  and  brethren 
to  dwell;  in  the  land  of  Go'- 
shen let  them  dwell:  and  if 
thou  knowest  any  men  of  ac- 
tivity among  them,  then  make 
them  rulers  over  my  cattle. 

7  And  Jd'seph  brought  in  Ja'- 
cob  his  father,  and  set  him 
before  Pha'radh:  and  Jfi'cob 
blessed  Pha'radh. 

8  And  Pha'radh  said  unto  Ja'- 
cob,  How  old  art  thou  ? 

9  And  Ja'cob  said  unto  Pha'- 
radh, The  days  of  the  years  of 
my  pilgrimage  are  an  hundred 
and  thirty  years:  few  and  evil 
have  the  days  of  the  years  of 
my  life  been,  and  have  not  at- 
tained unto  the  days  of  the 
years  of  the  life  of  my  fathers 
in  the  days  of  their  pilgrimage. 

10  And  Jacob  blessed  Ph&'- 
radh, and  went  out  from  before 
Pha'raOh. 

11  1fAnd  Jd'seph  placed  his  fa- 
ther and  his  brethren,  and  gave 
them  a  possession  in  the  land 
of  E'gypt,  in  the  best  of  the 
land,  in  the  land  of  Ra-me'seg, 
as  Pha'radh  had  commanded. 

12  And  Jd'seph  nourished  his 
father,  and  his  brethren,  and 
all  his  father's  household,  with 
bread,  according  to  their  fam- 
ilies. 

13  IT  And  there  was  no  bread 
in  all  the  land;  for  the  famine 
was  very  sore,  so  that  the  land 
of  ST&ypt  and  all  the  land  of 
Ca'naan  fainted  by  reason  of 
the  famine. 

14  And  Jd'seph  gathered  up 
all  the  money  that  was  found  in 
the  land  of  E'gjfpt,  and  in  the 
land  of  Cft'nfian,  for  the  corn 
which  they  bought:  and  Jd'seph 
brought  the  money  into  Pha'- 
radh's house. 

15  And  when  money  failed  in 
the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  in  the 
land  of  Ca'naan,  all  the  &g?p'- 
tians  came  unto  Jd'seph,  and 
said,  Give  us  bread:  for  why 
should  we  die  in  thy  presence 
for  the  money  faileth. 

16  And  Jd'seph  said,  Give  your 
cattle;  and  I  will  give  you  for 
lyour  cattle,  if  money  fail 


17  And  they  brought  their  cat- 
tle unto  Jd'seph:  and  Jd'seph 
pave  them  bread  in  exchange 
or  horses,  and  for  the  flocks, 

and  for  the  cattle  of  the  herds, 
and  for  the  asses :  and  he  fed 
them  with  bread  for  all  their 
cattle  for  that  year. 

18  When  that  year  was  ended, 
they  came  unto  him  the  second 
year,  and  said  unto  him,  We 
will  not  hide  it  from  my  lord, 
how  that  our  money  is  spent ; 
my  lord  also  hath  our  herds  of 
cattle;  there  is  not  ought  left 
in  the  sight  of  my  lord,  but  our 
bodies,  and  our  lands : 

19  Wherefore  shall  we  die  be- 
fore thine  eyes,  both  we  and  our 
land  ?  buy  us  and  our  land  for 
bread,  and  we  and  our  land  will 
be  servants  unto  Pha'radh :  and 
give  us  seed,  that  we  may  live, 
and  not  die,  that  the  land  be 
not  desolate. 

20  And  Jd'seph  bought  all  the 
land  of  E'gypt  for  Pha'radh ;  for 
the  E-gyp'tians  sold  every  man 
his  field,  because  the  famine 
prevailed  over  them:  so  the 
land  became  Pha'radh's. 

21  And  as  for  the  people,  he 
removed  them  to  cities  from  one 
end  of  the  borders  of  E'gypt 
even  to  the  other  end  thereof. 

22  Only  the  land  of  the  priests 
bought  he  not ;  for  the  priests 
had  a  portion  assigned  them  of 
Pha'radh,  and  did  eat  their  por- 
tion which  Pha'radh  gave  them : 
wherefore  they  sold  not  their 
lands. 

23  Then  Jd'seph  said  unto  the 
people,  Behold,  I  have  bought 

?ou  this  day  and  your  land  for

ha'radh :  lo,  here  is  seed  for 
you,  and  ye  shall  sow  the  land, 

24  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
the  increase,  that  ye  shall  give 
the  fifth  part  unto  Pha'raoh, 
and  four  parts  shall  be  your 
own,  for  seed  of  the  field,  and 
for  your  food,  and  for  them  of 
your  households,  and  for  food 
for  your  little  ones. 

25  And  they  said,  Thou  hast 
saved  our  lives:  let  us  find 
grace  in  the  sight  of  my  lord, 
and  we  will  be  Pha'radh's  serv- 
ants. 

26  And  Jd'seph  made  it  a  law 
over  the  land  of  E'gypt  unto 
this  day,  that  Pha'radh  should 
have  the  fifth  fart ;  except  the 
land  of  the  priests  only,  which 
became  not  Pha'radh's. 

27  IT  And  Is/ra-el  dwelt  in  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  in  the  country 
of  Gd'shen ;  and  they  had  pos- 
sessions therein,  and  grew,  and 
multiplied  exceedingly.

28  And  Ja'cob  lived  in  the 
land  of  E'gypt  seventeen  years : 
so  the  whole  age  of  Ja'cob  was 
an  hundred  forty  and  seven 
years. 

29  And  the  time  drew  nigh 
that  lg'ra-el  most  die :  and  he 
called  his  son  Jo'geph,  and  said 
unto  him,  If  now  I  have  found 
grace  in  thy  sight,  put,  I  pray 
thee,  thy  hand  under  my  thigh, 
and  deal  kindly  and  truly  with 
me ;  bury  me  not,  I  pray  thee,  in 

30  But  I  will  lie  with"  my  fa- 
thers, and  thou  shalt  carry  me 
out  of  E'gypt,  and  bury  me  in 
their  burvingplace.  And  he 
said,  I  will  do  as  thou  hast  said. 

31  And  he  said,  Swear  unto 
me.  And  he  sware  unto  him. 
And  lg'ra-el  bowed  himself  upon 
the  bed's  head. 

CHAPTER  48 
Joseph  with  his  sons  visiteth  his  sick 
father.  3  Jacob  repeaUth  God's 
promise,  and  taketh  Ephraim  and 
Manasseh  as  his  own;  he  blesseth 
Joseph's  sons. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after 
these  things,  that  one  told 
Jo'geph,  Behold,  thy  father  is 
sick:  and  he  took  with  him 
his  two  sons,  Ma-nas'seh  and 
E'phrS-Im. 

2  And  one  told  Ja'cob,  and 
said,  Behold,  thy  son  Jo'geph 
cometh  unto  thee:  and  tg'ra-el 
strengthened  himself,  and  sat 
upon  the  bed. 

3  And  Ja'cob  said  unto  J5'- 
geph,  God  Almighty  appeared 
unto  me  at  Luz  in  the  land  of 
C&'naan,  and  blessed  me, 

4  And  said  unto  me,  Behold,  I 
will  make  thee  fruitful,  and  mul- 
tiply thee,  and  I  will  make  of 
thee  a  multitude  of  people ;  and 
will  give  this  land  to  thy  seed 
after  thee  for  an  everlasting 
possession. 

5  And  now  thy  two  sons, 
E'phrS-imand  Ma-nas'seh,  which 
were  born  unto  thee  in  the  land 
of  E'gypt  before  I  came  unto 
thee  into  E'evpt,  are  mine;  as 
Reu'ben  and  Sim'e-on,  they 
shall  be  mine. 

6  And  thy  issue,  which  thou 
begettest  after  them,  shall  be 
thine,  and  shall  be  called  after 
the  name  of  their  brethren  in 
their  inheritance. 

7  And  as  for  me,  when  I  came 
from  Pa'dan,  Ra'chel  died  by 
me  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan  in 
the  way,  when  yet  there  was 
but  a  little  way  to  come  unto 
Eph'rSth :  and  I  buried  her  there 
in  the  way  of  Eph'rSth;  the 
same  is  BeW-16-hem. 

8  And  lg'ra-el  beheld  Jo'geph's 


sons,  and  said,  Who  are  these? 

9  And  Jo'geph  said  unto  his 
father,  They  are  my  sons,  whom 
God  hath  given  me  in  this 
place.  And  he  said,  Bring  them, 
I  pray  thee,  unto  me,  and  I  will 
bless  them. 

10  Now  the  eyes  of  lg'ra-el 
were  dim  for  age,  so  that  he 
could  not  see.  And  he  brought 
them  near  unto  him;  and  he 
kissed  them,  and  embraced 
them. 

11  And  lg'ra-el  said  unto  J5'^ 
geph,  I  had  not  thought  to  see 
thy  face:  and,  lo,  God  hath 
shewed  me  also  thy  seed. 

12  And  Jo'geph  brought  them 
out  from  between  his  knees,  and 
he  bowed  himself  with  his  face 
to  the  earth. 

13  And  Jo'geph  took  them 
both,  G'phrS-im  m  his  right  hand 
toward  Is'ra-el's  left  hand,  and 
Ma-nas'seh  in  his  left  hand 
toward  Is'ra-el's  right  hand,  and 
brought  them  near  unto  him. 

14  And  lg'ra-el  stretched  out 
his  right  hand,  and  laid  it  upon 
E'phr&-Im's  head,  who  was  the 
younger,  and  his  left  hand  upon 
Ma-n&s'seh's  head,  guiding  his 
hands  wittingly ;  for  Ma-nas'seh 
was  the  firstborn. 

15  IT  And  he  blessed  JCgeph, 
and  said,  God,  before  whom  my 
fathers  A'br&-ham  and  I'gaac  did 
walk,  the  God  which  fed  me  all 
my  life  long  unto  this  day, 

16  The  Angel  which  redeemed 
me  from  all  evil,  bless  the  lads ; 
and  let  my  name  be  named 
on  them,  and  the  name  of  my 
fathers  A'brfi-h&m  and  I'gaac; 
and  let  them  grow  into  a  multi- 
tude in  the  midst  of  the  earth. 

17  And  When  Jo'geph  saw  that 
his  father  laid  his  right  hand 
upon  the  head  of  E'phrfi-Im,  it 
displeased  him:  and  he  held 
up  his  father's  hand,  to  remove 
it  from  E'phra-im's  head  unto 
M£-naVseh's  head. 

18  And  J<5'geph  said  unto  his 
father,  Not  so,  my  father:  for 
this  is  the  firstborn;  put  thy 
right  hand  upon  his  head. 

19  And  his  father  refused,  and 
said,  I  know  it,  my  son,  I  know 
it :  he  also  shall  become  a  peo- 
ple, and  he  also  shall  be  great 
but  truly  his  younger  brother 
shall  be  greater  than  he,  and 
his  seed  shall  become  a  multi- 
tude of  nations. 

20  And  he  blessed  them  that 
day,  saying,  In  thee  shall  lg'ra-el 
bless,  saying,  God  make  thee  as 
E'phr&-im  and  as  MS-nas'seh : 
and  he  set  E'phra-im  before 
M£-n&s'seh*

fathers. 

22  Moreover  I  have  given  to 
thee  one  portion  above  thy 
brethren,  which  I  took  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  Am'dr-ite  with 
my  sword  and  with  my  bow. 

CHAPTER  49 

Jacob  calleth  his  sons  together:  3  he 
pronounceth  curses  on  Reuben,  5 
and  on  Simeon  and  Levi;  8  a  bless- 
ing  on  Judah,  etc.  28  He  charges 
them  concerning  his  burial ;  33  his 
death. 

AND  Ja'cob  called  unto  his 
sons,  and  said,  Gather  your- 
selves together,  that  I  may  tell 
you  that  which  shall  befall  you 
in  the  last  days. 

2  Gather  yourselves  together, 
and  hear,  ye  sons  of  Ja'cob; 
and  hearken  unto  Is/ra-el  your 
father. 

3  TOeu'ben,  thou  art  my  first- 
born, ray  might,  and  the  begin- 
ning of  my  strength,  the  excel- 
lency of  dignity,  and  the  excel- 
lency of  power: 

4  Unstable  as  water,  thou  shalt 
not  excel ;  because  thou  wentest 
up  to  thy  father's  bed ;  then  de- 
filedst  thou  it ;  he  went  up  to 
my  couch. 

5  IF  Sim'e-on  and  Le'vi  are 
brethren;  instruments  of  cru- 
elty are  in  their  habitations. 

6  0  my  soul,  come  not  thou 
into  their  secret;  unto  their 
assembly,  mine  honour,  be  not 
thou  united:  for  in  their  anger 
they  slew  a  man,  and  in  their 
self  will  they  digged  down  a  wall 

7  Cursed  be  their  anger,  for  it 
was  fierce ;.  and  their  wrath,  for 
it  was  cruel :  I  will  divide  them 
in  Ja'cob,  and  scatter  them  in 
Is/ra-eL 

8  IfJu'dah,  thou  art  he  whom 
thy  brethren  shall  praise:  thy 
hand  shall  be  in  the  neck  of 
thine  enemies;  thy  father's 
children  shall  bow  down  before 
thee. 

9  Ju'dah  is  a  lion's  whelp: 
from  the  prey,  my  son,  thou  art 
gone  up :  he  stooped  down,  he 
couched  as  a  lion,  and  as  an  old 
lion ;  who  shall  rouse  htm  up  ? 

10  The  sceptre  shall  not  de- 
part from  Ju'dah,  nor  a  lawgiver 
from  between  his  feet,  until 
Shiloh  come;  and  unto  him 
shall  the  gathering  of  the  peo- 
ple 6e» 

11  Binding  his  foal  unto  the 
vine,  and  his  ass's  colt  unto  the 
choice  vine ;  he  washed  his  gar- 
ments in  wine,  and  his  clothes 
I  in  the.  blood  of  grapes 


13  1T  Zeb'u-lun  shall  dwell  at 
the  haven  of  the  sea;  and  he 
shall  be  for  an  haven  of  ships ; 
and  his  border  shall  be  unto 
Zi'dfin. 

14  H"  Is'sa-char  is  a  strong  ass 
couching  down  between  two 
burdens: 

15  And  he  saw  that  rest  was 
good,  and  the  land  that  it  was 

Sleasant ;  and  bowed  his  shoul- 
er  to  bear,  and  became  a  serv- 
ant unto  tribute. 

16  HD&n  shall  judge  his  people, 
as  one  of  the  tribes  of  Is  ra-el. 

17  D3n  shall  be  a  serpent  by 
the  way,  an  adder  in  the  path, 
that  biteth  the  horse  heels,  so 
that  his  rider  shall  fall  back- 
ward. 

18  I  have  waited  for  thy  sal- 
vation, O  Lord. 

19  1F  GSd,  a  troop  shall  over- 
come him:  but  he  shall  over* 
come  at  the  last 

20  IT  Out  of  Ash'er  his  bread 
shall  be  fat,  and  he  shall  yield 
royal  dainties. 

21  ITNaph'ta-lI  is  a  hind  let 
loose :  he  giveth  goodly  words. 

22  1T  Jo'seph  is  a  fruitful 
bough,  even  a  fruitful  bough 
by  a  well ;  whose  branches  run 
over  the  wall : 

23  The  archers  have  sorely 
grieved  him,  and  shot  at  him, 
and  hated  him : 

24  But  his  bow  abode  in 
strength,  and  the  arms  of  his 
hands  were  made  strong  by  the 
hands  of  the  mighty  God  of 
JS'cob;  (from  thence  is  the 
shepherd,  the  stone  of  ls'ra-el :) 

25  Even  by  the  God  of  thy 
father,  who  shall  help  thee ;  and 
by  the  Almighty,  who  shall  bless 
thee  with  blessings  of  heaven 
above,  blessings  of  the  deep 
that  lieth  under,  blessings  of 
the  breasts,  and  of  the  womb 

26  The  blessings  of  thy  father 
have  prevailed  above  the  bless- 
ings of  my  progenitors  unto  the 
utmost  bound  of  the  everlasting 
hills :  they  shall  be  on  the  head 
of  JS'seph,  and  on  the  crown  of 
the  head  of  him  that  was  sep- 
arate from  his  brethren. 

27  IFBen'ja-min  shall  ravin  as 
a  wolf :  in  the  morning  he  shall 
devour  the  prey,  and  at  night 
he  shall  divide  the  spoil. 

28  1TA11  these  are  the  twelve 
tribes  of  ls'ra-el :  and  this  is  it 
that  their  father  spake  unto 
them,  and  blessed  them ;  every 
one  according  to  his  blessing  he 
blessed  them.

CHAPTER  50 
The  mourning  for  Jacob:  7  hie  fu- 
neral. 24  Joseph  propheeiethtohie 
brethren  their  return  to  Canaan 
22  hie  age,  26  and  death. 

AND  Jo'seph  fell  upon  his  fa- 
ther's face,  and  wept  upon 
him,  and  kissed  him. 

2  And  Jo'seph  commanded  his 
servants  the  physicians  to  em- 
balm his  father :  and  the  physi- 
cians embalmed  Is/ra-el. 

3  And  forty  days  were  fulfilled 
for  him ;  for  so  are  fulfilled  the 
davs  of  those  which  are  em- 
balmed: and  the  fi-gyp'tians. 
mourned  for  him  threescore  and 
ten  days. 

4  And  when  the  days  of  his 
mourning  were  past,  JS'seph 
spake  unto  the  house  of  Ph§'- 
ra5h,  saying,  If  now  I  have 
found  grace  in  your  eyes,  speak, 
I  pray  you,  in  the  ears  of  Pha'- 
radh,  saying, 

5  My  father  made  me  swear, 
saving,  Lo,  I  die:  in  my  grave 
which  I  have  digged  for  me  in 
the  land  of  CS'n&an,  there  shalt 
thou  bury  me.  Now  therefore 
let  me  go  up,  I  pray  thee,  and 
bury  my  father,  and  I  will  come 
again. 

6  And  Pha'ra5h  said,  Go  up, 
and  bury  thy  father,  according 
as  he  made  thee  swear. 

7  If  And  Jo'seph  went  up  to 
bury  his  father:  and  with  him 
went  up  all  the  servants  of  Phfi'- 
raflh,  the  elders  of  his  house, 
and  all  the  elders  of  the  land  of 

8  And  all  the  house  of  JG'seph, 
and  his  brethren,  and  his  fa- 
ther's house:  only  their  little 


9  And  there  went  up  with  him 
both  chariots  and  norsemen: 
and  it  was  a  very  great  com- 
pany. 

10  And  they  came  to  the 
threshingfloor  of  A'tSd,  which 
is  beyond  JdrMan,  and  there 
they  mourned  with  a  great  and 
very  sore  lamentation:  and  he 
made  a  mourning  for  his  father 
seven  days. 

11  And  when  the  inhabitants 
of  the  land,  the  C&'n&an-ites, 
saw  the  mourning  in  the  floor  of 
A't&d,  they  said,  This  is  a  griev- 
ous mourning  to  the  &g?p'- 
tians:  wherefore  the  name  of 
it  was  called  A'bel-mfe'ra-im, 
which  is  beyond  Jfir'dan. 

12  And  his  sons  did  unto  him 
according  as  he  commanded 
them: 

13  For  his  sons  carried  him 
into  the  land  of  C&'n&an,  and 
buried  him  in  the  cave  of  the 
field  of  Mach-pTlah,  which 
A'brfi-hfim  bought  with  the 
field  for  a  possession  of  a  bury- 
ingplace of  E'phron  the  Hif  tite, 
before  M&m're. 

14  And  JO'seph  returned  into 
E'gjrpt,  he,  and  his  brethren, 
and  all  that  went  up  with  him 
to  bury  his  father,  after  he  had 
buried  his  father. 

15  f  And  when  JS'seph's  breth- 
ren saw  that  their  rather  was 
dead,  they  said,  Jo'seph  will  per- 
adventure  hate  us,  and  will  cer- 
tainly requite  us  all  the  evil 
which  we  did  unto  him. 

16  And  they  sent  a  messenger 
unto  JO'seph,  saying,  Thy  father 
did  command  before  he  died, 
saying, 

17  So  shall  ye  say  unto  Jft'seph, 
Forgive,  I  pray  thee  now,  the 
trespass  of  thy  brethren,  and 
their  sin ;  for  they  did  unto  thee 
evil:  and  now,  we  pray  thee, 
forgive  the  trespass  of  the  serv- 
ants of  the  God  of  thy  father. 
And  JO'seph  wept  when  they 
spake  unto  him. 

18  And  his  brethren  also  went 
and  fell  down  before  his  face ; 
and  they  said,  Behold,  we  be  thy 
servants. 

19  And  JO'seph  said  unto  them, 
Fear  not :  for  am  I  in  the  place 
of  God? 

20  But  as  for  you,  ye  thought 
evil  against  me ;  but  God  meant 
it  unto  good,  to  bring  to  pass,  as 
it  is  this  day,  to  save  much  peo- 
ple alive. 

21  Now  therefore  fear  ye  not 
I  will  nourish  you,  and  your  lit-

E'gypt,  he,  and  his  father's 
house:  and  Jo'seph  lived  an 
hundred  and  ten  years. 

23  And  Jo'seph  saw  E'phra-

eration: the  children  also  of 
Ma'chir  the  son  of  Ma-nfis'seh 
were  brought  up  upon  Joseph's

out  of  this  land  unto  the  land

the  children  of  Ig'ra-el,  saying, 
God  will  surely  visit  you,  and 
ye  shall  carry  up  my  bones 
from  hence.

CHAPTER  1 

The  children  of  Israel  multiply:  8 
theyare  oppressed  by  a  new  king. 
22  The  male  children  destroyed. 

NOW  these  are  the  names 
of  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el, 
which  came  into  E'gypt;  every 
man  and  his  household  came 
with  Ja'cob. 

2  Reu/ben,  Sf m'e-on,  Le'vi,  and 
Ju'dati, 

3  Is'sa-char,  ZeVu-lun,  and 
B£n'ja-min, 

4  Dan,  and  Naph'ta-H,  Gad,  and 
Ash'er. 

5  And  all  the  souls  that  came 
out  of  the  loins  of  Ja'cob  were 
seventy  souls :  for  Jo'seph  was 
in  E'gypt  already, 

6  And  Jo'seph  died,  and  all  his 
brethren,  and  all  that  genera- 
tion. 

7  And  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
were  fruitful,  and  increased 
abundantly,  and  multiplied, 
and  waxed  exceeding  mighty ; 
and  the  land  was  filled  with 
them. 

8  H  Now  there  arose  up  a  new 
king  over  E'gjpt,  which  knew 
not  Jo'seph. 

9  And  he  said  unto  his  people, 
Behold,  the  people  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ia'ra-el  are  more  and 
mightier  than  we : 

10  Come  on,  let  us  deal  wisely 
with  them;  lest  they  multiply, 
and  it  come  to  pass,  that,  when 
there  falleth  out  any  war,  they 
join  also  unto  our  enemies,  and 
fight  against  us,  and  so  get 
them  up  out  of  the  land. 

11  Therefore  they  did  set  over 
them  taskmasters  to  afflict  them 
with  their  burdens.  And  they 
built  for  Pha'ra5h  treasure  cit- 
ies. Pi' thom  and  Ra-am'ses.. 

12  But  the  more  they  afflict- 


ed  them,  the  more  they  multi- 
plied) and  grew.  And  they  were 
grieved  because  of  the  children 
of  Is/ra-eL 

13  And  the  frgyp'tiang  made 
the  children  of  Ia'ra-el  to  serve 
with  rigour : 

14  And  they  made  their  lives 
bitter  with  hard  bondage,  in 
morter,  and  in  brick,  and  in  all 
manner  of  service  in  the  field : 
all  their  service,  wherein  they 
made  them  serve,  was  with 
rigour. 

15  t  And  the  king  of  E'jtfpt 
spake  to  the  He'brew  midwives, 
of  which  the  name  of  the  one 
was  Shlph'rah,  and  the  name 
of  the  other  Pu'ah: 

16  And  he  said,  When  ye  do 
the  office  of  a  midwife  to  the 
He'brew  women,  and  see  them 
upon  the  stools ;  if  it  be  a  son, 
then  ye  shall  kill  him :  but  if  it 
be  a  daughter,  then  she  shall 
live. 

17  But  the  midwives  feared 
God,  and  did  not  as  the  king  of 
Egypt  commanded  them,  but 
saved  the  men  children  alive. 

18  And  the  king  of  E'fcypt 
called  for  the  midwives,  and 
said  unto  them,  Why  have  ye 
done  this  thing,  and  nave  saved 
the  men  children  alive? 

19  And  the  midwives  said  unto 
Pha'raoh,  Because  the  He'brew 
women  are  not  as  the  £-gfp'« 
tian  women ;  for  they  are  live- 
ly, and  are  delivered  ere  the 
midwives  come  in  unto  them. 

20  Therefore  God  dealt  well 
with  the  midwives:  and  the 
people  multiplied,  and  waxed 
very  mighty. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  be- 
cause the  midwives  feared  God, 
that  he  made  them  houses.

CHAPTER  2 
Moses  is  born,  and  laid  among  the 
flags:  6  hs  is  found,  and  brought 
up  by  Pharaoh's  daughter:  12  he 
slayeih  an  Egyptian,  and  fleeth 
into  Midian.  21  He  marrieth  Zip- 
porah. 

AND  there  went  a  man  of  the 
house  of  L£'vi,  and  took  to 
wife  a  daughter  of  Le'vi. 

2  And  the  woman  conceived, 
and  bare  a  son :  and  when  she 
saw  him  that  he  was  a  goodly 
child,  she  hid  him  three  months. 

3  And  when  she  could  not 
longer  hide  him,  she  took  for 
him  an  ark  of  bulrushes,  and 
daubed  it  with  slime  and  with 
pitch,  and  nut  the  child  therein ; 
and  she  laid  it  in  the  flags  by 
the  river's  brink. 

4  And  his  sister  stood  afar  off, 
to  wit  what  would  be  done  to 
him. 

5  ITAnd  the  daughter  of  Pha'- 
radh  came  down  to  wash  herself 
at  the  river;  and  her  maidens 
walked  along  by  the  river's  side ; 
and  when  she  saw  the  ark 
among  the  flags,  she  sent  her 
maid  to  fetch  it 

6  And  when  she  had  opened 
it,  she  saw  the  child:  and,  be- 
hold, the  babe  wept.  And  she 
had  compassion  on  him,  and 
said,  This  is  one  of  the  He- 
brews' children. 

7  Then  said  his  sister  to  Pha'- 
raoh's  daughter,  Shall  I  go  and 
call  to  thee  a  nurse  of  the  He'- 
brew  women,  that  she  may  nurse 
the  child  for  thee? 

8  And  Pha'raSh's  daughter  said 
to  her,  Go.  And  the  maid  went 
and  called  the  child's  mother. 

9  And  Pha'raSh's  daughter  said 
unto  her,  Take  this  child  away, 
and  nurse  it  for  me,  and  I  will 
give  thee  thy  wages.  And  the 
woman  took  the  child,  and 
nursed  it 

10  And  the  child  grew,  and 
she  brought  him  unto  Pha'radh's 
daughter,  and  he  became  her 
son.  And  she  called  his  name 
Md'ses. :  and  she  said,  Because  I 
drew  him  out  of  the  water. 

11  If  And  it  came  to  pass  in 
those  days,  when  M5'sea  was 
grown,  that  he  went  out  unto 
his  brethren,  and  looked  on  their 
burdens :  and  he  spied  an  £-gyp'- 
tian  smiting  an  He"brew,  one  of 
his  brethren. 

12  And  he  looked  this  way  and 
that  way,  and  when  he  saw  that 
there  was  no  man,  he  slew  the 

56 


£-£yp'tian,  and  hid  him  in  the 
sand. 

13  And  when  he  went  out  the 
second  day,  behold,  two  men  of 
the  Hebrews  strove  together: 
and  he  said  to  him  that  did  the 
wrong,  Wherefore  smitest  thou 
thy  fellow? 

14  And  he  said,  Who  made 
thee  a  prince  and  a  judge  over 
us?  intendest  thou  to  fill  me, 
as  thou  killedst  the  fi-gyp'tian  ? 
And  Md'ges  feared,  and  said, 
Surely  this  thing  is  known. 

15  Now  when  Pha'raoh  heard 
this  thing,  he  sought  to  slay 
Md'geg.  But  MS'seg  fled  from 
the  face  of  Pha'raoh,  and  dwelt 
in  the  land  of  MIdl-an :  and  he 
sat  down  by  a  well 

16  Now  the  priest  of  Midl-an 
had  seven  daughters :  and  they 
came  and  drew  water,  and  filled 
the  troughs  to  water  their  fa- 
ther's flock. 

17  And  the  shepherds  came 
and  drove  them  away:  but 
M5'ses  stood  up  and  helped 
them,  and  watered  their  flock. 

18  And  when  they  came  to 
Reu'el  their  father,  he  said,  How 
is  it  that  ye  are  come  so  soon 
today? 

19  And  they  said,  An  G-gjh>'- 
tian  delivered  us  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  shepherds,  and  also 
drew  water  enough  for  us,  and 
watered  the  flock. 

20  And  he  said  unto  his  daugh- 
ters, And  where  is  he?  why  is 
it  that  ye  have  left  the  man? 
call  him,  that  he  may  eat  bread.! 

21  And  Md'ses  was  content  to1 
dwell  with  the  man :  and  he  gave 
Md'ses  Zip-po'rah  his  daughter. 

22  And  she  bare  him  a  son, 
and  he  called  his  name  Ger'- 
sh6m :  for  he  said,  I  have  been 
a  stranger  in  a  strange  land. 

23  IF  And  it  came  to  pass  in 
process  of  time,  that  the  King  of 
fe'gfpt  died:  and  the  children 
of  Is  ra-el  sighed  by  reason  of 
the  bondage,  and  they  cried,  and 
their  cry  came  up  unto  God  by 
reason  of  the  bondage. 

24  And  God  heard  their  groan- 
ing, and  God  remembered  his 
covenant  with  A1>ra-h&ni,  with 
I'saac,  and  with  Ja'cob. 

25  And  God  looked  upon  the 
children  of  Ig'ra-el,  and  God  had 
respect  unto  them,

he  led  the  flock  to  the  backside 
of  the  desert,  and  came  to  the 
mountain  of  God,  even  to 
Ho'reb. 

2  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  him  in  a  flame  of 
Are  out  of  the  midst  of  a  bush 
and  he  looked,  and,  behold,  the 
bush  burned  with  fire,  and  the 
bush  was  not  consumed. 

3  And  Md'ges.  said,  I  will  now 
turn  aside,  and  see  this  great 
sight,  why  the  bush  is  not 
burnt 

4  And  when  the  Lord  saw 
that  he  turned  aside  to  see, 
God  called  unto  him  out  of  the 
midst  of  the  bush,  and  said, 
M5'se&  Md'geg.  And  he  said, 
Here  am  L 

5  And  he  said,  Draw  not  nigh 
hither:  put  off  thy  shoes  from 
off  thy  feet,  for  the  place 
whereon  thou  standest  is  holy 
ground. 

6  Moreover  he  said,  I  am  the 
God  of  thy  father,  the  God  of 
A'braVh&m,  the  God  of  l'gaac, 
and  the  God  of  Ja'cob.  And 
MS'ges.  hid  his  face;  for  he  was 
afraid  to  look  upon  God. 

7  If  And  the  Lord  said,  I  have 
surely  seen  the  affliction  of  my 
people  which  are  in  Cgypt,  and 
have  heard  their  cry  by  reason 
of  their  taskmasters;  for  I  know 
their  sorrows; 

8  And  I  am  come  down  to  de- 
liver them  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  fi-gjfp'tiang,  and  to  bring 
them  up  out  of  that  land  unto 
a  good  land  and  a  large,  unto 
a  land  flowing  with  milk  and 
honey;  unto  the  place  of  the 
Cft'nflan-ites,  and  the  Hlf  tites, 
and  the  Am'dr-ites,  and  the  P£r'- 
Iz-sites,  and  the  Hi'vites,  and 
the  JeVu-sites. 

9  Now  therefore,  behold,  the 
cry  of  the  children  of  I§'ra-el 
is  come  unto  me:  and  I  have 
also  seen  the  oppression  where- 
with the  E-gJrp'tians.  oppress 
them. 

10  Come  now  therefore,  and  I 
will  send  thee  unto  Pha'raoh, 
that  thou  mayest  bring  forth 
my  people  the  children  of  Is/- 
ra-el  out  of  E'fejftt. 

11  HAnd  Moles,  said  unto  God, 
Who  am  I,  that  I  should  go  un- 
to Pha'raoh,  and  that  I  should 
bring  forth  the  children  of  1§'- 
ra-eloutof  E'fejpt? 

12  And  he  said,  Certainly  I 
will  be  with  thee;  and  this 
shall  be  a  token  unto  thee,  that 
"  have  sent  thee:  When  thou 
hast  brought  forth  the  people 
out  of  Cgfpt,  ye  shall  serve  God 
upon  this  mountain. 

57 


13  And  M5'seg  said  unto  God, 
Behold,  when  I  come  unto  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el,  and  shall 
say  unto  them,  The  God  of  your 
fathers  hath  sent  me  unto  you ; 
and  they  shall  say  to  me,  What 
is  his  name?  what  shall  I  say 
unto  them? 

14  And  God  said  unto  Ma'sea, 
I  AM  THAT  I  AM:  and  he  said, 
Thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el,  I  AM  hath 
sent  me  unto  you. 

15  And  God  said  moreover  un- 
to Md'seg,  Thus  shalt  thou  say 
unto  the  children  of  Is/ra-el, 
The  Lord  God  of  your  fathers, 
the  God  of  A'bra-bfim,  the  God 
of  I'saac,  and  the  God  of  Ja'cob, 
hath  sent  me  unto  you :  this  is 
my  name  for  ever,  and  this  is 
my  memorial  unto  all  genera- 
tions. 

16  Go,  and  gather  the  elders  of 
Is/ra-el  together,  and  say  unto 
them,  The  Lord  God  of  vour 
fathers,  the  God  of  A'brfi*ham, 
of  I'§aac,  and  of  Ja'cob,  appeared 
unto  me,  saying,  I  have  surely 
visited  you,  and  seen  that  which 
is  done  to  you  in  S'gfpt: 

17  And  I  have  said,  I  will  bring 
you  up  out  of  the  affliction  of 
E'fcfpt  unto  the  land  of  the  Ca'- 
n&an-ites,  and  the  Hit'tites,  and 
the  Am'or-ites,  and  the  Perli- 
zites,  and  the  Hi'vites,  and  the 
Jgb'u-sites,  unto  a  land  flowing 
with  milk  and  honey. 

18  And  they  shall  hearken  to 
thy  voice :  and  thou  shalt  come, 
thou  and  the  elders  of  Is/ra-el, 
unto  the  king  of  E'gjrpt,  and  ye 
shall  say  unto  him,  The  Lord 
God  of  the  Hebrews  hath  met 
with  us:  and  now  let  us  go,  we 
beseech  thee,  three  days  jour- 
ney into  the  wilderness,  that  we 
may  sacrifice  to  the  Lord  our 
God. 

19  And  I  am  sure  that  the  king 
of  E'gjfpt  will  not  let  you  go, 
no,  not  by  a  mighty  hand. 

20  And  I  will  stretch  out  my 
hand,  and  smite  E'&jfpt  with  all 
my  wonders  which  I  will  do  in 
the  midst  thereof:  and  after 
that  he  will  let  you  go. 

21  And  I  will  give  this  people 
favour  in  the  sight  of  the 
fi-gyp'tian§:  and  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  that,  when  ye  go,  ye 
shall  not  go  empty : 

22  But  every  woman  shall  bor- 
row of  her  neighbour,  and  of  her 
that  sojourneth  in  her  house, 
jewels  of  silver,  and  jewels  of 
gold,  and  raiment:  and  ye  shall 
put  them  upon  your  sons,  and 
upon  your  daughters;  and  ye 
shall  spoil  the  E-gJp'tians.

CHAPTER  4 

Moms*  rod  is  turned  into  a  serpent  : 
6  his  hand  it  leprous.  18  He  de- 
parts from  Jetkro.  21  God's  mes- 
sage to  Pharaoh.  27  Aaron  is  sent 
to  meet  Moses. 

AND  MS'sea  answered  and 
said,  But,  behold,  they  will 
not  believe  me,  nor  hearken  un- 
to my  voice :  for  they  will  say, 
The  Lord  hath  not  appeared 
unto  thee. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 
What  is  that  in  thine  hand? 
And  he  said,  A  rod. 

3  And  he  said,  Cast  it  on  the 
ground.  And  he  cast  it  on  the 
ground,  and  it  became  a  serpent; 
and  Mo'ses.  fled  from  before  it 

4  And  the  Lord  said  unto  M5'- 
seg,  Put  forth  thine  hand,  and 
take  it  by  the  tail  And  he  put 
forth  his  hand,  and  caught  it, 
and  it  became  a  rod  in  his  hand : 

5  That  they  may  believe  that 
the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers, 
the  God  of  A'bra-ham,  the  God 
of  r&aac,  and  the  God  of  JS'cob, 
hath  appeared  unto  thee. 

6  IFAnd  the  Lord  said  further- 
more unto  him,  Put  now  thine 
hand  into  thy  bosom.  And  he 
put  his  hand  into  his  bosom: 
and  when  he  took  it  out,  behold, 
his  hand  was  leprous  as  snow. 

7  And  he  said,  rut  thine  hand 
into  thy  bosom  again.  And  he 
put  his  hand  into  his  bosom 
again;  and  plucked  it  out  of 
his  bosom,  and,  behold,  it  was 
turned  again  as  his  other  flesh. 

8  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if 
they  will  not  believe  thee,  nei- 
ther hearken  to  the  voice  of  the 
first  sign,  that  they  will  believe 
the  voice  of  the  latter  sign. 

9  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if 
they  will  not  believe  also  these 
two  signs,  neither  hearken  unto 
thy  voice,  that  thou  shalt  take 

"  the  water  of  the  river,  and 
pour  it  upon  the  dry  land :  and 
the  water  which  thou  takest 
out  of  the  river  shall  become 
blood  upon  the  dry  land. 

10  IF  And  MS'ges  said  unto  the 
Lord,  0  my  Lord,  I  am  not  elo- 
quent, neither  heretofore,  nor 
since  thou  hast  spoken  unto 
thy  servant :  but  I  am  slow  of 
speech,  and  of  a  slow  tongue. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
him,  Who  hath  made  man's 
mouth?  or  who  maketh  the 
dumb,  or  deaf,  or  the  seeing,  or 
the  blind?  have  not  I  the  Lord  ? 

12  Now  therefore  go,  and  I 
will  be  with  thy  mouth,  and 
teach  thee  what  thou  shalt  say 

13  And  he  said,  O  my  Lord, 
send,  I  pray  thee,  by  the  hand 
of  him  whim  thou  wilt  send. 


14  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  Mo'ses,  and 
he  said,  Is  not  Aajfon  the  Le'- 
vite  thy  brother?  I  know  that 
he  can  speak  well.  And  also,  be- 
hold, he  cometh  forth  to  meet 
thee :  and  when  he  seeth  thee, 
he  will  be  glad  in  his  heart. 

15  And  thou  shalt  speak  un- 
to him,  and  put  words  in  his 
mouth :  and  I  will  be  with  thy 
mouth,  and  with  his  mouth,  and 
will  teach  you  what  ye  shall  do. 

16  And  he  shall  be  thy  spokes- 
man unto  the  people:  and  he 
shall  be,  even  he  shall  be  to  thee 
instead  of  a  mouth,  and  thou 
shalt  be  to  him  instead  of  God. 

17  And  thou  shalt  take  this 
rod  in  thine  hand,  wherewith 
thou  shalt  do  signs. 

18  IT  And  Md'ges  went  and  re- 
turned to  JSth'ro  his  father  in 
law,  and  said  unto  him,  Let  me 
go,  I  pray  thee,  and  return  un- 
to my  brethren  which  are  in 
E'gypt*  and  **e  whether  they 
be  yet  alive.  And  JSth'rd  said 
to  Mo'seg,  Go  in  peace. 

19  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md'ges  in  Midl-an,  Go,  return 
into  E'feypt :  * or  all  the  men  are 
dead  which  sought  thy  life. 

20  And  Mo'ges  took  his  wife 
and  his  sons,  and  set  them  upon 
an  ass,  and  he  returned  to  the 
land  of  E'frypt :  and  MS'seg  took 
the  rod  of  God  in  his  hand. 

21  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
MS'seg,  When  thou  goest  to  re- 
turn into  E'gjrpt,  see  that  thou 
do  all  those  wonders  before 
Pha'raoh,  which  I  have  put  in 
thine  hand:  but  I  will  harden 
his  heart,  that  he  shall  not  let 
the  people  go. 

22  And  thou  shalt  say  unt& 
Pha'raSh,  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Ig'ra-el  is  my  son,  even  my  first- 
born: 

23  And  I  say  unto  thee,  Let  my 
son  go,  that  he  may  serve  me : 
and  if  thou  refuse  to  let  him  go, 
behold,  I  will  slay  thy  son,  even 
thy  firstborn. 

24  IT  And  it  came  to  pass  by  the 
way  in  the  inn,  that  the  Lord 
met  him,  and  sought  to  kill  him. 

25  Then  Zip-p5'rah  took  a 
sharp  stone,  and  cut  off  the 
foreskin  of  her  son,  and  cast  it 
at  his  feet,  and  said,  Surely  a 
bloody  husband  art  thou  to  me. 

26  So  he  let  him  go:  then  she 
said,  A  bloody  husband  thou 
art,  because  of  the  circumcision. 

27  t  And  the  Lord  said  to  Aar'- 
on,  Go  into  the  wilderness  to 
meet  Mo'ses.  And  he  went,  and 
met  him  in  the  mount  of  God, 
and  kissed  him.

28  And  Mfi'ses  told  Aar'on  all  leers,  and  they  spake  to  the 
the  words  of  the  Lord  who  had  |  people,  saying,  Thus  saith  Phfi'- 
senthim,  and  all  the  signs  which  radn,  I  will  not  give  you  straw. 


he  had  commanded  him. 

29  IT  And  MO'ses  and  Aar'on 
went  and  gathered  together  all 
the  elders  of  the  children  of  Is/- 
ra-el: 

30  And  Aar'on  spake  all  the 
words  which  the  Lord  had  spo- 
ken unto  Md"se&  and  did  the 
signs  in  the  sight  of  the  people. 

31  And  the  people  believed 
and  when  they  heard  that  the 
Lord  had  visited  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el,  and  that  he  had  looked 
upon  their  affliction,  then  they 
bowed  their  heads  and  wor- 
snipped. 

CHAPTER  5 

Pharaoh  ehideth  Most*  and  Aaron . 
6  as increaseth  the Israelites'  task: 
10  the  people  have  no  straw. 

AND  afterward  MQ'ses  and 
Aar'on  went  in,  and  told 
Pha'raoh,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Is/ra-el,  Let  my  people  go, 
that  they  may  hold  a  feast  unto 
me  in  the  wilderness. 

2  And  Ph&'radn  said,  Who  is 
the  Lord,  that  I  should  obey  his 
voice  to  let  Is/ra-el  go?  I  know 
not  the  Lord,  neither  will  I  let 
Is/ra-el  go. 

3  And  they  said,  The  God  of 
the  Hebrews  hath  met  with  us 
let  us  go,  we  pray  thee,  three 
days'  journey  into  the  desert, 
and  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord  our 
God;  lest  he  fall  upon  us  with 
pestilence,  or  with  the  sword. 

4  And  the  king  of  'E'&ypt  said 
unto  them,  Wherefore  do  ye, 
MS'ses  and  Aar'on,  let  the  people 
from  their  works  7  get  you  unto 
your  burdens. 

5  And  Phfi'ra&h  said,  Behold, 
the  people  of  the  land  now  are 
many,  and  ye  make  them  rest 
from  their  burdens. 

6  And  Pha'raQh  commanded 
the  same  day  the  taskmasters 
of  the  people,  and  their  officers, 

aying, 

7  Ye  shall  no  more  give  the 
people  straw  to  make  brick,  as 
heretofore:  let  them  go  and 
gather  straw  for  themselves. 

8  And  the  tale  of  the  bricks, 
which  they  did  make  heretofore, 
ye  shall  lay  upon  them ;  ye  shall 
not  diminish  ought  thereof:  for 
they  be  idle;  therefore  they  cry, 
saying,  Let  us  go  and  sacrifice 
to  our  God. 

9  Let  there  more  work  be  laid 
upon  the  men,  that  they  may 
labour  therein ;  and  let  them  not 
regard  vain  words. 

10  HAnd  the  taskmasters  of  the 
people  went  out,  and  their  offi- 


11  Go  ye,  get  you  straw  where 
ye  can  find  it:  yet  not  ought  of 
your  work  shall  be  diminished. 

12  So  the  people  were  scat- 
tered abroad  throughout  all  the 
land  of  Cgjrpt  to  gather  stubble 
instead  of  straw. 

13  And  the  taskmasters  hasted 
them,  saving,  Fulfil  your  works, 
your  daily  tasks,  as  when  there 
was  straw. 

14  And  the  officers  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el,  which  Pha'- 
radh's  taskmasters  had  set  over 
them,  were  beaten,  and  demand- 
ed, Wherefore  have  ye  not  ful- 
filled your  task  in  making  brick 
both  yesterday  and  to  day,  as 
heretofore? 

15  H  Then  the  officers  of  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el  came  and 
cried  unto  Pha'raoh,  saying, 
Wherefore  dealest  thou  thus 
with  thy  servants? 

16  There  is  no  straw  given  un- 
to thy  servants,  and  they  say  to 
us,  Make  brick :  and,  behold,  thy 
servants  are  beaten;  but  the 
fault  is  in  thine  own  people. 

17  But  he  said,  Ye  are  idle, 
ye  are  idle:  therefore  ye  say, 
Let  us  go  and  do  sacrifice  to  the 
Lord. 

18  Go  therefore  now,  and 
work ;  for  there  shall  no  straw 
be  given  you,  vet  shall  ye  de- 
liver the  tale  of  bricks. 

19  And  the  officers  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el  did  see  that  they 
were  in  evil  case,  after  it  was 
said,  Ye  shall  not  minish  ought 
from  your  bricks  of  your  daily 
task. 

20  IfAnd  they  met  MS'seg  and 
Aar'on,  who  stood  in  the  way, 
as  they  came  forth  from  Phfi'- 
ra6h 

21  And  they  said  unto  them, 
The  Lord  look  upon  you,  and 
judge ;  because  ye  have  made 
our  savour  to  be  abhorred  in 
the  eyes  of  Ph&'raon,  and  in  the 
eyes  of  his  servants,  to  put  a 
sword  in  their  hand  to  slay  us. 

22  And  MS'ges  returned  unto 
the  Lord,  and  said,  Lord,  where- 
fore hast  thou  so  evil  entreated 
this  people  ?  why  is  it  that  thou 
hast  sent  me? 

23  For  since  I  came  to  Pha'- 
raoh to  speak  in  thy  name,  he 
hath  done  evil  to  this  people ; 
neither  hast  thou  delivered  thy 
people  at  all.

rpHEN  the  Lord  said  unto 
JL  Md'ges,  Now  shalt  thou  see 
what  I  will  do  to  Pha'radh :  for 
with  a  strong  hand  shall  he  let 
them  go,  and  with  a  strong  hand 
shall  he  drive  them  oat  of  his 
land. 

2  And  God  spake  unto  M5'se$, 
and  said  unto  him,  I  am  the 
Lord: 

3  And  I  appeared  unto  Abra- 
ham, unto  f'saac,  and  unto  J&'- 
cob,  by  the  name  of  God  Al- 
mighty, but  by  my  name  J£- 
HCVAH  was  I  not  known  to 
them. 

4  And  I  have  also  established 
my  covenant  with  them,  to  give 
them  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  the 
land  of  their  pilgrimage,  where- 
in they  were  strangers. 

5  And  I  have  also  heard  the 
groaning  of  the  children  of  Is/ 
ra-el,  whom  the  £-&yp'tians 
keep  in  bondage;  and  I  have 
remembered  my  covenant 

6  Wherefore  say  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el,  I  am  the  Lord, 
and  I  will  bring  you  out  from 
under  the  burdens  of  the  £-gyp'- 
tiang,  and  I  will  rid  you  out  of 
their  bondage,  and  I  will  redeem 
you  with  a  stretched  out  arm, 
and  with  great  judgments : 

7  And  I  will  take  you  to  me 
for  a  people,  and  I  will  be  to  you 
a  God:  and  ye  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord  your  God,  which 
bringeth  you  out  from  under 
the  burdens  of  the  E-gjfp'tians. 

8  And  I  will  bring  you  in  unto 
the  land,  concerning  the  which 
I  did  swear  to  give  it  to  Abra- 
ham, to  I'saac,  and  to  JS'cob; 
and  I  will  give  it  you  for  an 
heritage :  I  am  the  Lord. 

9  If  And  Mo'ges  spake  so  unto 
the  children  of  Is/ra-el :  but  they 
hearkened  not  unto  Mo'ges  for 
anguish  of  spirit,  and  for  cruel 
bondage. 

10  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'ses,  saying, 

11  Go  in,  speak  unto  Pha'radh 
king  of  E'gfpt,  that  he  let  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el  go  out  of  his 
land. 

12  And  M5'§e§  spake  before 
the  Lord,  saying,  Behold,  the 
children  of  fs'ra-el  have  not 
hearkened  unto  me;  how  then 
shall  Pha'radh  hear  me,  who  am 
of  uncircumrised  lips? 

13  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
M5'ses  and  unto  Aar'on,  and 
gave  them  a  charge  unto  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el,  and  unto 
Phfi'radh  king  of  E'gypt,  to 
bring  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
out  of  the  land  of  #gypt. 

14  1T  These  be  the  heads  of 


their  fathers'  houses :  The  sons 
of  Reu/ben  the  firstborn  of 
Is/ra-el;  Ha'nSch,  and  Pallu, 
Hez'rSn,  and  Car'mi:  these  be 
the  families  of  Reu'ben. 

15  And  the  sons  of  Sim'e-on ;

and  Ja'chin,  and  ZoTiar,  and 
Sha'ul  the  son  of  a  Cl'naan-it- 
ish  woman :  these  are  the  fam- 
ilies of  Sim'e-on. 

16  And  these  are  the  names  of 
the  sons  of  Le'vi  according  to 
their  generations;  Ger'shBn,  and 
KdTiath,  and  Me-ra'ri :  and  the 
years  of  the  life  of  Le"vi  were 
an  hundred  thirty  and  seven 
years.

nl,  and  Shi'ml,  according  to  their 
families. 

18  And  the  sons  of  Kdliath; 
Am'ram,  and  hfhar,  and  He'- 
bron,  and  Cz'ri-el :  and  the  years 
of  the  life  of  Kdliath  were  an 
hundred  thirty  and  three  years. 

19  And  the  sons  of  M£-rft'ri; 
Matia-li  and  Mu'shi :  these  are 
the  families  of  L6'vi  according 
to  their  generations. 

20  And  Am'ram  took  him 
Jdch'e-becl  his  father's  sister  to 
wife ;  and  she  bare  him  Afir'on 
and  Mo'geg :  and  the  years  of 
the  life  of  Am'ram  were  an 
hundred  and  thirty  and  seven 
years. 

21  And  the  sons  of  Iz'har ;  Ko'* 
rah,  and  Ne'pheg,  and  Zich'ri. 

22  And  the  sons  of  Oz'zi-el; 
Mish'a-el,  and  El'za-phari,  and 
Zith'ri. 

23  And  AaVon  took  him  £4ish'- 
e-ba,  daughter  of  Am-min'a-dfib, 
sister  of  Na-3sh'on,  to  wife ;  and 
she  bare  him  Na'dab,  and  A-bi'- 
hu,  E-le-S'zar,  and  Itb'a-mar. 

24  And  the  sons  of  Kd'rah; 
As'sir,  and  El'ka-nah,  and  A-bi'a- 
saph :  these  are  the  families  of 
the  KSrliites. 

25  And  EJe-S'zar  AarWs  son 
took  him  one  of  the  daughters 
of  Pu'ti-el  to  wife ;  and  she  bare 
him  Phin'e-has:  these  are  the 
heads  of  the  fathers  of  the  Le'- 
vites  according  to  their  families. 

26  These  are  that  Aar'on  and 
Mo'ges,  to  whom  the  Lord  said, 
Bring  out  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
from  the  land  of  E'gypt  accord- 
ing to  their  armies. 

27  These  are  they  which 
spake  to  Pha'raoh  king  of 
E'gypt,  to  bring  out  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  from  E'gypt 
these  are  that  Mo'geg  and

7  And  Md'ses.  was  fourscore 
years  old,  and  AfiVon  fourscore 
and  three  years  old,  when  they 
spake  unto  Pha'radh 

8  HAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'ses  and  unto  Aar'on,  saying, 

9  When  Pha'radh  shall  speak 
unto  you,  saying,  Shew  a  mira- 
cle for  you:  then  thou  shalt 
say  unto  AaVon,  Take  thy  rod, 
and  cast  it  before  Pha'raoh,  and 
it  shall  become  a  serpent. 

10  IT  And  Md'&es  and  Aar'on 
went  in  unto  Pha'radh,  and  they 
did  so  as  the  Lord  had  com- 
manded :  and  Aar'on  cast  down 
his  rod  before  Pha'radh,  and 
before  his  servants,  and  it  be- 
came a  serpent, 

11  Then  Pha'raoh  also  called 
the  wise  men  and  the  sorcerers : 
now  the  magicians  of  E'fcjfpt, 
they  also  did  in  like  manner 
witn  their  enchantments. 

12  For  they  cast  down  every 
man  his  rod,  and  they  became 


not  unto  them ;  as  the  Lord  had 
said. 

14  f  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md'ges,  Phfi'raOh's  heart  is  hard- 
ened, he  refuseth  to  let  the 
people  go. 

15  Get  thee  unto  Pha'raoh  in 
the  morning;  lo,  he  goeth  out 
unto  the  water;  and  thou  shalt 
stand  by  the  river's  brink 
against  he  come;  and  the  rod 
which  was  turned  to  a  serpent 
shalt  thou  take  in  thine  hand. 

16  And  thou  shalt  say  unto 
him,  The  Lord  God  of  the  He- 
brews, hath  sent  me  unto  thee, 
saying,  Let  my  people  go,  that 
they  may  serve  me  in  the  wil- 
derness: and,  behold,  hitherto 
thou  wouldest  not  hear. 

17  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  In 
this  thou  shalt  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord  :  behold,  I  will  smite 
with  the  rod  that  is  in  mine 
hand  upon  the  waters  which 
are  in  trie  river,  and  they  shall 
be  turned  to  blood. 

18  And  the  fish  that  is  in  the 
river  shall  die,  and  the  river 
shall  stink;  and  the fcgyp'tians. 
shall  lothe  to  drink  of  the  water 
of  the  river. 

19  t  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'ses,  Say  unto  Aar'on,  Take 
thy  rod,  and  stretch  out  thine 
hand  upon  the  waters  of  E'girpt, 
upon  their  streams,  upon  their 
rivers,  and  upon  their  ponds, 
and  upon  all  their  pools  of 
water,  that  they  may  become 
blood;  and  that  there  may  be 
blood  throughout  all  the  land 
of  E'gypt,  both  in  vessels  of 
wood,  and  in  vessels  of  stone. 

20  And  Md'ses  and  AaVon  did 
so,  as  the  Lord  commanded; 
and  he  lifted  up  the  rod,  and 
smote  the  waters  that  were  in 
the  river,  in  the  sight  of  Pha'- 
radh, and  in  the  sight  of  his 
servants;  and  all  the  waters 
that  were  in  the  river  were 
turned  to  blood. 

21  And  the  fish  that  was  in 
the  river  died;  and  the  river 
stank,  and  the  &gyp'tiang  could 
not  drink  of  the  water  of  the 
river;  and  there  was  blood 
throughout  all  the  land  of 
E'gypt        t 

22  And  the  magicians  of 
B'gjrpt  did  so  with  their  en- 
chantments :  and  Pha'radh's 
heart  was  hardened,  neither  did 
he  hearken  unto  them ;  as  the 
Lord  had  said. 

23  And  Pha'radh  turned  and

went  into  his  house,  neither  did 
he  set  his  heart  to  this  also. 

24  And  all  the  E-gfp'tiang 
digged  round  about  the  river  for 
water  to  drink;  for  they  could 
not  drink  of  the  water  of  the 
river. 

25  And  seven  days  were  ful- 
filled, after  that  the  Lord  had 
smitten  the  river. 

CHAPTER  8 

Frogs  are  threatened,  5  and  sent.  16 
The  dust  is  turned  into  lice,  which 
the  magicians  could  not  do.  20  The 
vtaoue  of  flies.  32  Pharaoh  is  still 
hardened, 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'geg,  Go  unto  Ph&'ra&h, 
and  say  unto  him,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Let  my  people  go,  that 
they  may  serve  me. 

2  And  if  thou  refuse  to  let 
them  go,  behold,  I  will  smite  all 
thy  borders  with  frogs : 

3  And  the  river  shall  bring 
forth  frogs  abundantly,  which 
shall  go  up  and  come  into  thine 
house,  and  into  thv  bedchamber, 
and  upon  thy  bed,  and  into  the 
house  of  thy  servants,  and  up- 
on thy  people,  and  into  thine 
ovens,  and  into  thy  kneading- 
trough*: 

4  And  the  frogs  shall  come  up 
both  on  thee,  and  upon  thy  peo- 
ple, and  upon  all  thy  servants. 

5  ITAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
M5'sea»  Say  unto  A&fon,  Stretch 
forth  thine  hand  with  thy  rod 
over  the  streams,  over  the  riv- 
ers, and  over  the  ponds,  and 
cause  frogs  to  come  up  upon  the 
land  of  Egypt 

6  And  Aaron  stretched  out  his 
hand  over  the  waters  of  E'gypt ; 
and  the  frogs  came  up,  and  cov- 
ered the  land  of  Egypt 

7  And  the  magicians  did  so 
with  their  enchantments,  and 
brought  up  frogs  upon  the  land 
of  E'gypt 

8  ITThen  Pha'raoh  called  for 
M5'se§  and  A&'ron,  and  said,  In- 
treat  the  Lord,  that  he  may  take 
away  the  frogs  from  me,  and 
from  my  people ;  and  I  will  let 
the  people  go,  that  they  may  do 
sacrifice  unto  the  Lord. 

9  And  MG'seg  said  unto  Ph£'- 
ra5h,  Glory  over  me :  when  shall 
I  intreat  for  thee,  and  for  thy 
servants,  and  for  thy  people,  to 
destroy  the  frogs  from  thee  and 
thy  houses,  that  they  may  re- 
main in  the  river  only? 

10  And  he  said,  To  morrow. 
And  he  said,  Be  it  according  to 
thy  word:  that  thou  mayest 
know  that  there  is  none  like  un- 
to the  Lord  our  God. 

11  And  the  frogs  shall  depart 
from  thee,  and  from  thy  houses, 


and  from  thy  servants,  and  from 
thy  people ;  they  shall  remain  in 
the  river  only. 

12  And  Mo'sea  and  Aar'on  went 
out  from  Pha'raGh :  and  Md'seg 
cried  unto  the  Lord  because  of 
the  frogs  which  he  had  brought 
against  Ph&'ra&h. 

13  And  the  Lord  did  according 
to  the  word  of  MS'ges.;  and  the 
frogs  died  out  of  the  houses, 
out  of  the  villages,  and  out  of 
the  fields. 

14  And  they  gathered  them  to- 
gether upon  heaps:  and  the  land 
stank. 

15  But  when  Phfi'ra&h  saw 
that  there  was  respite,  he  hard- 
ened his  heart,  and  hearkened 
not  unto  them ;  as  the  Lord  had 
said. 

16  ITAnd  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md'seg,  Say  unto  Aar'on,  Stretch 
out  thy  rod,  and  smite  the  dust 
of  the  land,  that  it  may  become 
lice  throughout  all  the  land  of 
ET^pt 

17  And  they  did  so ;  for  Aar'on 
stretched  out  his  hand  with  his 
rod,  and  smote  the  dust  of  the 
earth,  and  it  became  lice  in 
man,  and  in  beast;  all  the  dust 
of  the  land  became  lice  through- 
out all  the  land  of  Cflfpt. 

18  And  the  magicians  did  so 
with  their  enchantments  to 
bring  forth  lice,  but  they  could 
not:  so  there  were  lice  upon 
man,  and  upon  beast 

19  Then  the  magicians  said 
unto  Pha'raSh,  This  is  the  fin- 
ger of  God :  and  Ph&'raSh's  heart 
was  hardened,  and  he  hearkened 
not  unto  them ;  as  the  Lord  had 
said. 

20  ITAnd  the  Lord  said  unto 
MS'ses,  Rise  up  early  in  the 
morning,  and  stand  before  Ph&'- 
raOh;  lo,  he  cometh  forth  to  the 
water;  and  say  unto  him,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  Let  my  people 
go,  that  they  may  serve  me. 

21  Else,  if  thou  wilt  not  let  my 
people  go,  behold,  I  will  send 
swarms  of  fixes  upon  thee,  and 
upon  thy  servants,  and  upon  thy 
people,  and  into  thy  houses :  and 
the  houses  of  the  E-g^p'tians 
shall  be  full  of  swarms  of  flies, 
and  also  the  ground  whereon 
they  are. 

22  And  I  will  sever  in  that  day 
the  land  of  Gti'shen,  in  which 
my  people  dwell,  that  no  swarms 
of  hies  shall  be  there;  to  the 
end  thou  mayest  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord  in  the  midst  of 
the  earth. 

23  And  I  will  put  a  division 
between  my  people  and  thy  peo- 
ple: to  morrow  shall  this  sign  be.

24  And  the  Lom>  did  so ;  and 
there  came  a  grievous  swarm 
of  flies  into  the  house  of  Phi'- 
raoh,  and  into  his  servants' 
houses,  and  into  all  the  land 
of  E'gjrpt:  the  land  was  cor- 
rupted by  reason  of  the  swarm 
of  flies. 

25  IT  And  Phg'raSh  called  for 
Md'ges  and  for  AdrTra,  and  said, 
Go  ye,  sacrifice  to  your  God  in 
the  land. 

26  And  Md'seg  said,  It  is  not 
meet  so  to  do ;  for  we  shall  sac- 
rifice the  abomination  of  the 
fi-gTp'tians.  to  the  Lord  our 
God:  lo,  shall  we  sacrifice  the 
abomination  of  the  £-gjh)'tiang 
before  their  eyes,  and  will  they 
not  stone  us? 

27  We  will  go  three  days'  jour- 
ney into  the  wilderness,  and 
sacrifice  to  the  Lord  our  God, 
as  he  shall  command  us. 

28  And  Phi'raOh  said,  I  will 
let  you  go,  that  ye  may  sacrifice 
to  the  Lord  your  God  in  the 
wilderness;  only  ye  shall  not 
go  very  far  away:  intreat  for 
me. 

29  And  Mo'ses.  said,  Behold,  I 
go  out  from  thee,  and  I  will  in 
treat  the  Lord  that  the  swarms 
of  flies  may  depart  from  Pha'- 
radh,  from  his  servants,  and 
from  his  people,  to  morrow :  but 
let  not  Pha'ra5h  deal  deceitfully 
any  more  in  not  letting  the 
people  go  to  sacrifice  to  the 
Lord. 

30  And  Mo'ses.  went  out  from 
Pha'raoh,  and  intreated  •  the 
Lord. 

31  And  the  Lord  did  according 
to  the  word  of  Mo'ses;  and  he 
removed  the  swarms  of  flies 
from  Pha'raoh,  from  his  serv- 
ants, and  from  his  people ;  there 
remained  not  one. 

32  And  Pha'raoh  hardened  his 
heart  at  this  time  also,  neither 
would  he  let  the  people  go. 

CHAPTER  9

of  boil*  and  Mains,  22  of  hail.  27  Pha- 
raoh eueth  to  Moses,  35  but  yet  is 
hardened. 

rpHEN  the  Lord  said  unto 
JL  MS'seg,  Go  in  unto  Pha'raOh, 
and  tell  him,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  the  Hebrews,  Let 
my  people  go,  that  they  may 
serve  me. 

2  For  if  thou  refuse  to  let 
them  go,  and  wilt  hold  them 
still, 

3  Behold,  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
is  upon  thy  cattle  which  is  in 
the  field,  upon  the  horses,  upon 
the  asses,  upon  the  camels,  upon 
the  oxen,  and  upon  the  sheep 


there  shall  be  a  very  grievous 
murrain. 

4  And  the  Lord  shall  sever  be- 
tween the  cattle  of  Is/ra-el  and 
the  cattle  of  C^Jpt :  and  there 
shall  nothing  die  of  all  that  is 
the  children's  of  Is/ra-el. 

5  And  the  Lord  appointed  a 
set  time,  saying,  To  morrow  the 
Lord  shall  do  this  thing  in  the 
land. 

6  And  the  Lord  did  that  thing 
on  the  morrow,  and  all  the  cat- 
tle of  £'&fpt  died:  but  of  the 
cattle  of  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
died  not  one. 

7  And  Pha'raSh  sent,  and,  be- 
hold, there  was  not  one  of  the 
cattle  of  the  Is'ra-el-ltes  dead. 
And  the  heart  of  Phfi'ra5h  was 
hardened,  and  he  did  not  let  the 
people  go. 

8  IT  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md'ses  and  unto  Adrtra,  Take 
to  you  handfuls  of  ashes  of  the 
furnace,  and  let  Mo'ses.  sprinkle 
it  toward  the  heaven  m  the 
sight  of  Phfi'radh. 

9  And  it  shall  become  small 
dust  in  all  the  land  of  B'tfpt, 
and  shall  be  a  boil  breaking 
forth  with  blains  upon  man, 
and  upon  beast,  throughout  all 
the  land  of  E'gypt 

10  And  they  took  ashes  of  the 
furnace,  and  stood  before  Phfi'- 
radh ;  and  M&'ses  sprinkled  it 
up  toward  heaven;  and  it  be- 
came a  boil  breaking  forth  with 
blains  upon  man,  and  upon 
beast 

11  And  the  magicians  could 
not  stand  before  MS'ses  because 
of  the  boils;  for  the  boil  was 
upon  the  magicians,  and  upon 
ail  the  &&yp'tians. 

12  And  the  Lord  hardened  the 
heart  of  Phfi'raOh,  and  he  heark- 
ened not  unto  them;  as  the 
Lord  had  spoken  unto  Mo'ses. 

13  IT  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
MO'ses,  Rise  up  early  in  the 
morning,  and  stand  before  Pha'- 
raoh, and  say  unto  him,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  the  He- 
brews, Let  my  people  go,  that 
they  may  serve  me. 

14  For  I  will  at  this  time  send 
all  my  plagues  upon  thine  heart, 
and  upon  thy  servants,  and  upon 
thy  people;  that  thou  mayest 
know  that  there  is  none  like 
me  in  all  the  earth. 

15  For  now  I  will  stretch  out 
my  hand,  that  I  may  smite  thee 
and  thy  people  with  pestilence ; 
and  thou  shalt  be  cut  off  from 
the  earth. 

16  And  in  very  deed  for  this 
cause  have  I  raised  thee  up,  for 
to  shew  in  thee  my  power ;  and

thou  hast  in  the  field ;  for  up- 
on every  man  and  beast  which 
shall  be  found  in  the  field,  and 
shall  not  be  brought  home,  the 
hail  shall  come  down  upon 
them,  and  they  shall  die. 

20  He  that  feared  the  word  of 
the  Lord  among  the  servants  of 
Pha'radh  made  his  servants  and 
his  cattle  flee  into  the  houses 

21  And  he  that  regarded  not 
the  word  of  the  Lord  left  his 
servants  and  his  cattle  in  the 
field. 

22  IT  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md'seg,  Stretch  forth  thine  hand 
toward  heaven,  that  there  may 
be  hail  in  all  the  land  of  Cg^pt, 
upon  man,  and  upon  beast,  and 
upon  every  herb  of  the  field, 
throughout  the  land  of  E'feypt. 

23  And  Md'se§  stretched  forth 
his  rod  toward  heaven :  and  the 
Lord  sent  thunder  and  hail, 
and  the  fire  ran  along  upon  the 

ground;  and  the  Lord  rained 
ail  upon  the  land  of  E'gypt 

24  So  there  was  hail,  and  fire 
mingled  with  the  hail,  very 
grievous,  such  as  there  was 
none  like  it  in  all  the  land  of 


B'gypt  since  it  became  a  nation. 

25  And  the  hail  smote  through- 
out all  the  land  of  &gjrpt  all 
that  was  in  the  field,  both  man 
and  beast;  and  the  hail  smote 
every  herb  of  the  field,  and 
brake  every  tree  of  the  field. 

26  Only  in  the  land  of  G5'- 
shen,  where  the  children  of  Is/- 
ra-el  were,  was  there  no  hail. 

27  IF  And  Ph&'radh  sent,  and 
called  for  Mo'seg  and  Air^on, 
and  said  unto  them,  I  have 
sinned  this  time :  the  Lord  is 
righteous,  and  I  and  my  people 
are  wicked. 

28  Intreat  the  Lord  (for  it  is 
enough)  that  there  be  no  more 
mighty  thunderings  and  hail; 
and  I  will  let  you  go,  and  ye 
shall  stay  no  longer. 

29  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  him, 
As  soon  as  I  am  gone  out  of  the 
city,  I  will  spread  abroad  my 
hands  unto  the  Lord  ;  and  the 
thunder  shall  cease,  neither 
shall  there  be  any  more  hail; 


that  thou  mayest  know  how 
that  the  earth  is  the  Lord's. 

30  But  as  for  thee  and  thy 
servants,  I  know  that  ye  will 
not  yet  fear  the  Lord  God. 

31  And  the  flax  and  the  barley 
was  smitten:  for  the  barley 
was  in  the  ear,  and  the  flax 
was  boiled. 

32  But  the  wheat  and  the  rie 
were  not  smitten:  for  they 
were  not  grown  up. 

33  And  M6'ge§  went  out  of  the 
city  from  Pha'ra5h,  and  spread 
abroad  his  hands  unto  the  Lord: 
and  the  thunders  and  hail 
ceased,  and  the  rain  was  not 
poured  upon  the  earth. 

34  And  when  Pha'raOh  saw 
that  the  rain  and  the  hail* and 
the  thunders  were  ceased,  he 
sinned  yet  more,  and  hardened 
his  heart,  he  and  his  servants. 

35  And  the  heart  of  Ph&'radh 
was  hardened,  neither  would  he 
let  the  children  of  ls/ra-el  go ;  as 
the  Lord  had  spoken  by  Mo'ses.

ses,  Go  in  unto  Pha'raSh 
for  I  have  hardened  his  heart, 
and  the  heart  of  his  servants, 
that  I  might  shew  these  my 
signs  before  him 

2  And  that  thou  mayest  tell 
in  the  ears  of  thy  son,  and  of 
thy  son's  son,  what  things  I 
have  wrought  in  E'fcjrP**  and 
my  signs  which  I  have  done

him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  the  Hebrews,  How  long  wilt 
thou  refuse  to  humble  thyself

that  they  may  serve  me.

to thy  coast : 

5  And  they  shall  cover  the 
face  of  the  earth,  that  one  can- 
not be  able  to  see  the  earth: 
and  they  shall  eat  the  residue 
of  that  which  is  escaped,  which 
remaineth  unto  you  from  the 
hail,  and  shall  eat  every  tree 
which  groweth  for  you  out  of 
the  field  : 

6  And  they  shall  fill  thy  houses, 
and  the  houses  of  all  thy  serv- 
ants, and  the  houses  of  all  the

have  seen,  since  the  day. that 
they  were  upon  the  earth  unto 
this  day.  And  he  turned  him- 
self, and  went  out  from  Pha"- 
raoh. 

7  And  Pha'radh's  servants  said 
unto  him,  How  long  shall  this 

m  be  a  snare  unto  us  ?  let  the 
men  go,  that  they  may  serve 
the  Lord  their  God:  knowest 
thou  not  yet  that  E'gjfpt  is  des- 
troyed? 

8  And  Md'ses  and  Aar'on  were 
brought  again  unto  Pha'radh: 
and  he  said  unto  them,  Go,  serve 
the  Lord  your  God :  but  who  are 
they  that  shall  go? 

9  And  Md'ses  said,  We  will  go 
with  our  young  and  with  our 
old,  with  our  sons  and  with 
our  daughters,  with  our  flocks 
and  with  our  herds  will  we  go ; 
for  we  must  hold  a  feast  unto 
the  Lord. 

10  And  he  said  unto  them,  Let 
the  Lord  be  so  with  you,  as  I 
will  let  you  go,  and  your  little 
ones :  look  to  it;  for  evil  is  be- 
fore you. 

11  Not  so :  go  now  ye  that  are 
men,  and  serve  the  Lord;  for 
that  ye  did  desire.  And  they 
were  driven  out  from  Pha'radh's 
presence. 

12  IT  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo'sea,  Stretch  out  thine  hand 
over  the  land  of  E'gypt  for  the 
locusts,  that  they  may  come  up 
upon  the  land  of  G'gypt,  and  eat 
every  herb  of  the  land,  even  all 
that  the  hail  hath  left 

13  And  Md'ses  stretched  forth 
his  rod  over  the  land  of  fi'fcypt 
and  the  Lord  brought  an  east 
wind  upon  the  land  all  that  day, 
and  all  that  night ;  and  when 
it  was  morning,  the  east  wind 
brought  the  locusts. 

14  And  the  locusts  went  up 
over  all  the  land  of  E'&fpt, 
and  rested  in  all  the  coasts 
of  fi'fejrpt:  very  grievous  were 
they ;  before  them  there  were 
no  such  locusts  as  they,  neither 
after  them  shall  be  such. 

15  For  they  covered  the  face 
of  the  whole  earth,  so  that  the 
land  was  darkened ;  and  they  did 
eat  every  herb  of  the  land,  and 
all  the  fruit  of  the  trees  which 
the  hail  had  left :  and  there  re- 
mained not  any  green  thing  in 
the  trees,  or  in  the  herbs  of  the 
field,  through  all  the  land  of 
ETgypt 

16  HThen  Pha'radh  called  for 
Md'ses  and  Aar'on  in  haste ;  and 
he  said,  I  have  sinned  against 
the  Lord  your  God,  and  against 
you. 

17  Now  therefore  forgive, 


pray  thee,  my  sin  only  this  once, 
and  intreat  the  Lord  your  God, 
that  he  may  take  away  from  me 
this  death  only. 

18  And  he  went  out  from  Pha 
radh,  and  intreated  the  Lord. 

19  And  the  Lord  turned  a 
mighty  strong  west  wind,  which 
took  away  the  locusts,  and  cast 
them  into  the  Red  sea;  there 
remained  not  one  locust  in  all 
the  coasts  of  E'fcjpt 

20  But  the  Lord  hardened  Pha'- 
radh's  heart,  so  that  he  would 
not  letthe  children  of  Ig'ra-el  go. 

21  IT  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mouses,  Stretch  out  thine  hand 
toward  heaven,  that  there  may 
be  darkness  over  the  land  of 
E'fcypt*  even  darkness  which 
may  be  felt 

22  And  Md'ses  stretched  forth 
his  hand  toward  heaven;  and 
there  was  a  thick  darkness  in  all 
the  land  of  fi'gjrpt  three  days : 

23  They  saw  not  one  another, 
neither  rose  any  from  his  place 
for  three  days:  but  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-ei  had  light  in  their 
dwellings. 

24  HAnd  Pha'radh  called  unto 
Md'ses,  and  said,  Go  ye,  serve 
the  Lord  ;  only  let  your  flocks 
and- your  herds  be  stayed:  let 
your  little  ones  also  go  with  you. 

25  And  M5'se&  said,  Thou  must 
give  us  also  sacrifices  and  burnt 
offerings,  that  we  may  sacrifice 
unto  the  Lord  our  God. 

26  Our  cattle  also  shall  go  with 
us ;  there  shall  not  an  hoof  be 
left  behind ;  for  thereof  must  we 
take  to  serve  the  Lord  our  God; 
and  we  know  not  with  what  we 
must  serve  the  Lord,  until  we 
come  thither. 

27  If  But  the  Lord  hardened 
Pha'radh's  heart,  and  he  would 
not  let  them  go. 

28  AndPha'radhsaiduntohim, 
Get  thee  from  me,  take  heed  to 
thyself,  see  my  face  no  more; 
for  in  that  day  thou  seest  my 
face  thou  shalt  die. 

29  And  Md'ses  said,  Thou  hast 
spoken  well,  I  will  see  thy  face 
again  no  more.

plague  more  upon  Pha'radh,  and 
upon  E'gjhpt ;  afterwards  he  will

3  And  the  Lord  gave  the  peo- 
ple favour  in  the  sight  of  the 
E-gyp'tiang.  Moreover  the  man 
Mo'ses  was  very  great  in  the 
land  of  E'&ypt,  m  the  sight  of 
Pha'raOh's  servants,  and  in  the 
sight  of  the  people.    . 

4  ITAnd  Mtfges  said,  Thus'saith 
the  Lord,  About  midnight  will  I 
go  out  into  the  midst  of  E'gypt 

5  And  all  the  firstborn  in  the 
land  of  E'gypt  shall  die,  from 
the  firstborn  of  Pha'ra5h  that 
sitteth  upon  his  throne,  even 
unto  the  firstborn  of  the  maid- 
servant that  is  behind  the  mill ; 
and  all  the  firstborn  of  beasts. 

6  And  there  shall  be  a  great 
cry  throughout  all  the  land  of 
B'gypt,  such  as  there  was  none 
like  it,  nor  shall  be  like  it  any 
more. 

7  But  against  any  of  the  chil- 
dren of  15'ra-el  shall  not  a  dog 
move  his  tongue,  against  man 
or  beast:  that  ye  may  know 
how  that  the  Lord  doth  put  a 
difference  between  the  £-&j?p'- 
tiads  and  Is/ra-eL 

8  And  all  these  thy  servants 
shall  come  down  unto  me,  and 
bow  down  themselves  unto  me, 
saying,  Get  thee  out,  and  all  the 
people  that  follow  thee:  and 
after  that  I  will  go  out  And 
he  went  out  from  Pha'raOh  in  a 
great  anger. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mou- 
ses, Pha'raoh  shall  not  hearken 
unto  you;  that  my  wonders 
may  be  multiplied  in  the  land 
offrgypt. 

10  And  Mfi'ges  and  AaVon  did 
all  these  wonders  before  Pha'- 
raoh: and  the  Lord  hardened 
Phi'radh's  heart,  so  that  he 
would  not  let  the  children  of 
Ig'ra-el  go  out  of  his  land. 

CHAPTER  12 

The  beginning  of  the  year  changed. 
3  The  paeeover  instituted.  11  The 
rite  of  the  paeeover.  15  Unleav-

Egypt  are  slain.  31  The  Israelites 
are  driven  out  of  the  land.  43  Or- 
dinanee  of  the  paseover. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
M5'ae§  and  Aaron  in  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  saying, 

2  This  month  shall  be  unto 
you  the  beginning  of  months: 
it  shall  be  the  first  month  of 
the  year  to  you. 

5  II  Speak  ye  unto  all  the  con- 
gregation of  la'ra-el,  saying,  In 
the  tenth  day  of  this  month 
they  shall  take  to  them  every 
man  a  lamb,  according  to  the 


house  of  their  fathers,  a  lamb 
for  an  house : 

4  And  if  the  household  be  too 
little  for  the  lamb,  let  him  and 
his  neighbour  next  unto  his 
house  take  it  according  to  the 
number  of  the  souls;  every 
man  according  to  his  eating 
shall  make  your  count  for  the 
lamb. 

5  Your  lamb  shall  be  without 
blemish,  a  male  of  the  first  year : 
ye  shall  take  it  out  from  the 
sheep,  or  from  the  goats : 

6  And  ye  shall  keep  it  up  until 
the  fourteenth  day  of  the  same 
month:  and  the  whole  assem- 
bly of  the  congregation  of  !g'- 
ra-el  shall  kill  it  in  the  evening. 

7  And  they  shall  take  of  the 
blood,  and  strike  it  on  the  two 
side  posts  and  on  the  upper 
door  post  of  the  houses,  where- 
in they  shall  eat  it 

8  And  they  shall  eat  the  flesh 
in  that  night,  roast  with  fiie, 
and  unleavened  bread;  and  with 
bitter  herbs  they  shall  eat  it 

9  Eat  not  of  it  raw,  nor  sodden 
at  all  with  water,  but  roast  with 
fire;  his  head  with  his  legs,  and 
with  the  purtenance  thereof. 

10  And  ye  shall  let  nothing  of 
it  remain  until  the  morning; 
and  that  which  remaineth  of  it 
until  the  morning  ye  shall  burn 
with  fire. 

11  And  thus  shall  ye  eat  it; 
with  your  loins  girded,  your 
shoes  on  your  feet,  and  your 
staff  in  your  hand ;  and  ye  shall 
eat  it  in  haste :  it  ie  the  Lord's 
passover. 

12  For  I  will  pass  through  the 
land  of  E'fcypt  this  night,  and 
will  smite  all  the  firstborn  in 
the  land  of  B'gjfrt,  both  man 
and  beast;  and  against  all  the 
gods  of  fftfpt  I  will  execute 
judgment :  Jam  the  Lord. 

13  And  the  blood  shall  be  to 
you  for  a  token  upon  the  houses 
where  ye  are :  and  when  I  see 
the  blood,  I  will  pass  over  you, 
and  the  plague  shall  not  be  up- 
on you  to  destroy  you,  when  I 
smite  the  land  of  Efefpt 

14  And  this  day  shall  be  unto 
you  for  a  memorial ;  and  ye  shall 
keep  it  a  feast  to  the  Lord 
throughout  your  generations; 
ye  shall  keep  it  a  feast  by  an 
ordinance  for  ever. 

15  IF  Seven  days  shall  ye  eat 
unleavened  bread;  even  the 
first  day  ye  shall  put  away 
leaven  out  of  your  houses :  for 
whosoever  eateth  leavened 
bread  from  the  first  day  until 
the  seventh  day,  that  soul  shall 
be  cut  off  from  Ig'ra-eL.

16  And  in  the  first  dmy  there 
shall  be  an  holy  convocation, 
and  in  the  seventh  day  there 
shall  be  an  holy  convocation  to 
you;  no  manner  of  work  shall 
be  done  in  them,  save  that 
which  every  man  must  eat,  that 
only  may  be  done  of  yon. 

17  And  ye  shall  observe  the 
feast  o/ unleavened  bread;  for 
in  this  selfsame  day  have  I 
brought  your  armies  out  of  the 
land  of  B"gjrnt :  therefore  shall 
ye  observe  this  day  in  your  gen* 
erations  by  an  ordinance  for 
ever. 

18  In  the  first  month,  on  the 
fourteenth  day  of  the  month  at 
even,  ye  shall  eat  unleavened 
bread,  until  the  one  and  twen- 
tieth day  of  the  month  at  even. 

19  Seven  days  shall  there  be 
no  leaven  found  in  your  houses : 
for  whosoever  eateth  that  which 
is  leavened,  even  that  soul  shall 
be  cut  off  from  the  congrega- 
tion of  Ig'ra-el,  whether  he  be  a 
stranger,  or  born  in  the  land. 

20  Ye  shall  eat  nothing  leav- 
ened; in  all  your  habitations 
shall  ye  eat  unleavened  bread. 

21  IT  Then  Mo'ses.  called  for  all 
the  elders  of  Ig'ra-el,  and  said 
unto  them,  Draw  out  and  take 
you  a  lamb  according  to  your 
families,  and  kill  the  passover. 

22  And  ye  shall  take  a  bunch 
of  hyssop,  and  dip  it  in  the 
blood  that  is  in  the  bason,  and 
strike  the  lintel  and  the  two 
side  posts  with  the  blood  that 
is  in  the  bason;  and  none  of 
you  shall  go  out  at  the  door  of 
his  house  until  the  morning. 

23  For  the  Lord  will 
through  to  smite  the 
tiana;  and  when  he  seeth  the 
blood  upon  the  lintel,  and  on 
the  two  side  posts,  the  Lord 
will  pass  over  the  door,  and  will 
not  suffer  the  destroyer  to  come 
in  unto  your  houses  to  smite 
you. 

24  And  ye  shall  observe  this 
thing  for  an  ordinance  to  thee 
and  to  thy  sons  for  ever. 

25  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  ye  be  come  to  the  land 
which  the  Lord  will  give  vou, 
according  as  he  hath  promised, 
that  ye  shall  keep  this  service. 

26  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  your  children  shall  say 
unto  you,  What  mean  ye  by 
this  service  ? 

27  That  ve  shall  say,  It  is  the 
sacrifice  of  the  Lord's  passover, 
who  passed  over  the  houses  of 
the  children  of  Ig'ra-el  in 
ftfeypt,  when  he  smote*  the 
E-gyp'tiang,  and  delivered  our 


houses.    And  the  people  bowed 
the  head  and  worshipped. 

28  And  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el 
went  away,  and  did  as  the  Lord 
had  commanded  MS'geg  *nd 
AaVon,  so  did  they. 

29  IF  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
at  midnight  the  Lord  smote  all 
the  firstborn  in  the  land  of 
E'&ypt'  from  the  firstborn  of 
Pha'radh  that  sat  on  his  throne 
unto  the  firstborn  of  the  cap- 
tive that  was  in  the  dungeon ; 
and  all  the  firstborn  of  cattle. 

30  And  Pha'raon  rose  up  in 
the  night,  he,  and  all  his  serv- 
ants, and  all  the  ftgyp'tians; 
and  there  was  a  great  cry  in 
E'fcjfpt;  for  there  was  not  a 
house  where  there  was  not  one 
dead. 

31  IT  And  he  called  for  M6'j 
and  Afir'on  by  night,  and 
Rise  up,  and  get  you  forth  from 
among  my  people,  both  ye  and 
the  children  oflg'ra-el;  and  go, 
serve  the  Lord,  as  ye  have  said. 

32  Also  take  your  flocks  and 
your  herds,  as  ye  have  said,  and 
be  gone ;  and  bless  me  also. 

33  And  the  ftgyp'tians.  were 
urgent  upon  the  people,  that 
they  might  'send  them  out  of 
the  land  in  haste ;  for  they  said, 
We  be  all  dead  men. 

34  And  the  people  took  their 
dough  before  it  was  leavened, 
their  kneadingtroughs  being 
bound  up  in  their  clothes  upon 
their  shoulders. 

35  And  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
did  according  to. the  word  of 
Md'ses;  and  they  borrowed  of 
the  &4£p'tianft  jewels  of  sil- 
ver, and  jewels  of  gold,  and  rai- 
ment: 

36  And  the  Lord  gave  the 
people  favour  in  the  sight  of 
the  &g?p'tiana,  so  that  they 
lent  unto  them  such  things  as 
they  required.  And  they  spoiled 
the  £-gyp'tians. 

37  IT  And  the  children  of  I&'- 
ra-el  journeyed  from  Ra-mS'seg 
to  Suc'coth,  about  six  hundred 
thousand  on  foot  that  were 
men,  beside  children. 

38  And  a  mixed  multitude 
went  up  also  with  them;  and 
flocks,  and  herds,  even  very 
much  cattle. 

39  And  they  baked  unleavened 
cakes  of  the  dough  which  they 
brought  forth  out  of  Efefpt,  lor 
it  was  not  leavened;  because 
they  were  thrust  out  of  E'&fpt, 
and  could  not  tarry,  neither  had 
they  prepared  for  themselves 
any  victual

£"#yT>t»  was  four  hundred  and 
thirty  years. 

41  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  the  four  hundred  and 
thirty  years,  even  the  selfsame 
day  it  came  to  pass,  that  all  the 
hosts  of  the  Lord  went  out  from 
the  land  of  E'g^pt 

42  It  is  a  night  to  he  much  ob- 
served unto  the  Lord  for  bring- 
ing them  out  from  the  land  of 
ETgypt :  this  is  that  night  of  the 
Lord  to  be  observed  of  all  the 
children  of  Ifi'ra-el  in  their  gen- 
erations/ 

43  ITAnd  the  Lord  said  unto 
M$'ses  and  AaYon,  This  is  the 
ordinance  of  the  passover:  There 
shall  no  stranger  eat  thereof : 

44  But  every  man's  servant 
that  is  bought  for  money,  when 
thou  hast  circumcised  him,  then 
shall  he  eat  thereof. 

45  A  foreigner  and  an  hired 
servant  shall  not  eat  thereof. 

46  In  one  house  shall  it  be 
eaten;  thoushalt  not  carry  forth 
ought  of  the  flesh  abroad  out  of 
the  house;  neither  shall  ye  break 
a  bone  thereof. 

47  All  the  congregation  of  is/- 
ra-el  shall  keep  it 

48  And  when  a  stranger  shall 
sojourn  with  thee,  and  will  keep 
the  passover  to  the  Lord,  let  all 
his  males  be  circumcised,  and 
then  let  him  come  near  and 
keep  it;  and  he  shall  be  as  one 
that  is  born  in  the  land:  for  no 
uncircumcised  person  shall  eat 
thereof. 

49  One  law  shall  be  to  him 
that  is  homeborn,  and  unto  the 
stranger  that  sojourneth  among 
you. 

50  Thus  did  all  the  children  of 
I^ra-el ;  as  the  Lord  commanded 
Md'seg  and  Adr'on,  so  did  they. 

51  And  it  came  to  pass  the  self- 
same day,  that  the  Lord  did 
bring  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el  out 
of  the  land  of  E'gjpt  by  their 
armies. 

CHAPTER  13 

The  firstborn  sanctified  to  God. 
The  memorial  of  the  passover.  11 
The  firstlings  of  beasts  are  set  apart 
17  The  Israelite*  go  out  of  Egypt, 
and  carry .  Joseph'*  bones  unth 
them:  2Q  they  come  to  Etham:  21 
God  guideth  them  by  a  pillar  of  a 
cloud  and  a  pHlar  of  fire. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'seg,  saying, 

2  Sanctify  unto  me  all  the  firstr 
born,  whatsoever  openeth  the 
womb  among  the  children  of  Is/- 
ra-el,  both  of  man  and  of  beast: 
it  t8  mine. 

3  IT  And  Md'geg  said  unto  the 
people,  Remember  this  day,  in 
which  ye  came  out  from  E*fe5T>t, 
out  of  the  house  of  bondage;  for 


by  strength  of  hand  the  Lord 
brought  you  out  from  this  place: 
there  shall  no  leavened  bread  be 
eaten. 

4  This  day  came  ye  out  in  the 
month  A'bib. 

5  And  it  shall  be  when  the 
Lord  shall  bring  thee  into  the 
land  of  the  QL'n&an4tes,  and  the 
Hiftites,  and  the  Am'dr-ltes,  and 
the  Hi'vites,  and  the  JeVu-sites, 
which  he  sware  unto  thy  fathers 
to  give  thee,  a  land  flowing  with 
milk  and  honey,  that  thou  shalt 
keep  this  service  in  this  month. 

6  Seven  days  thou  shalt  eat 
unleavened  bread,  and  in  the 
seventh  day  shall  be  a  feast  to 
the  Lord. 

7  Unleavened  bread  shall  be 
eaten  seven  days;  and  there 
shall  no  leavenea  bread  be  seen 
with  thee,  neither  shall  there  be 
leaven  seen  with  thee  in  all  thy 
quarters. 

8  And  thou  shalt  shew  thy  son 
in  that  day,  saying,  This  is  done 
because  of  that  which  the  Lord 
did  unto  me  when  I  came  forth 
outofE'gypt 

9  And  it  shall  be  for  a  sign 
unto  thee  upon  thine  hand,  and 
for  a  memorial  between  thine 
eyes,  that  the  Lord's  law  may  be 
in  thy  mouth:  for  with  a  strong 
hand  hath  the  Lord  brought 
thee  out  of  E'feypt 

10  Thou  shalt  therefore  keep 
this  ordinance  inhis  season  from 
year  to  year. 

11  IFAnd  it  shall  be  when  the 
Lord  shall  bring  thee  into  the 
land  of  the  Ca'naan-ites,  as  he 
sware  unto  thee  and  to  thy  fa- 
thers, and  shall  give  it  thee, 

12  That  thou  shalt  set  apart 
unto  the  Lord  all  that  openeth 
the  matrix,  and  every  firstling 
that  cometh  of  a  beast  which 
thou  hast;  the  males  shall  be 
the  Lord's. 

13  And  every  firstling  of  an  ass 
thou  shalt  redeem  with  a  lamb ; 
and  if  thou  wilt  not  redeem  it, 
then  thou  shalt  break  his  neck: 
and  all  the  firstborn  of  man 
among  thy  children  shalt  thou 
redeem. 

14  IF  And  it  shall  be  when  thy 
son  asketh  thee  in  time  to  come, 
saying,  What  is  this?  that  thou 
shalt  say  unto  him,  By  strength 
of  hand  the  Lord  brought  us 
out  from  E'&jfpt,  from  the  house 
of  bondage : 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Ph&'radh  would  hardly  let  us  go, 
that  the  Lord  slew  all  the  first- 
born in  the  land  of  ET&jfpt,  both 
the  firstborn  of  man,  and  the 
firstborn  of  beast:  therefore  I

16  And  it  shall  be  for  a  token 
upon  thine  hand,  and  for  front- 
lets between  thine  eyes:  for 
by  strength  of  hand  the  Lord 
brought  us  forth  out  of  E'fcypt 

17  IF  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
PhS'radh  had  let  the  people  go, 
that  God  led  them  not  through 
the  way  of  the  land  of  the  Phk 
lis'tines,  although  that  was 
near;  for  God  said,  Lest  perad- 
venture  the  people  repent  when 
they  see  war,  and  they  return 
totVgypt: 

18  But  God  led  the  people 
about,  through  the  way  of  the 
wilderness  of  the  Red  sea :  and 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  went  up 
harnessed  out  of  the  land  of 
E-gypt 

19  And  Md'ges  Took  the  bones 
of  J5'seph  with  him:  for  he 
had  straitly  sworn  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  God  will 
surely  visit  you;  and  ye  shall 
carry  up  my  bones  away  hence 
with  you. 

20  If  And  they  took  their  jour- 
ney from  Suc'coth,  and  en* 
camped  in  fftham,  in  the  edge 
of  the  wilderness. 

21  And  the  Lord  went  before 
them  by  day  in  a  pillar  of  a  cloud, 
to  lead  them  the  way ;  and  by 
night  in  a  pillar  of  fixe,  to  give 
them  light;  to  go  by  day  and 
night: 

22  He  took  not  away  the  pillar 
of  the  cloud  by  .day,  nor  the  pil- 
lar of  fire  by  nighi/rom  before 
the  people. 

CHAPTER  14 
God  instructeth  the  Israelites  in  their 
journey.  5  Pharaoh  pursueth.  10 
The  Israelites  murmur  :  13  Moses 
comforteth  them.  15  God  in~ 
etructeth  Moses.  19  The  cloud  re- 
moveth  behind  the  camp.  21  They 
pass  through  the  Red  seat.    26  The 

A  Egyptians  drowned. 
ND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MS'ses,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  that  they  turn  and  en- 
camp before  Pf-ha-hTroth,  be- 
tween Mfg"dol  and  the  sea,  over 
against  Ba'al-ze'phon :  before  it 
shall  ye  encamp  by  the  sea. 

y  For  Pha'raflh  will  say  of  the 
children  of  ls'ra-el,  They  are 
entangled  in  the  land,  the  wil- 
derness hath  shut  them  in. 

4  And  I  will  harden  Pha'raSh's 
heart,  that  he  shall  follow  after 
them;  and  I  will  be  honoured 
upon  Pha'raSh,  and  upon  all 
his  host;  that  the  £-£^p'tians 
may  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 
And  they  did  so. 


the  heart  of  Pha'raoh  and  of  his 
servants  was  turned  against  the 
people,  and  they  said,  Why  have 
we  done  this,  that  we  have  let 
ls/ra-el  go  from  serving  us  ?    * 

6  And  he  made  ready  his 
chariot,  and  took  his  people 
with  him: 

7  And  he  took  six  hundred 
chosen  chariots,  and  all  the 
chariots  of  Cgypt,  and  captains 
over  every  one  of  them. 

8  And  the  Lord  hardened  the 
heart  of  Pha'radh  king  of 
E'gypt,  and  he  pursued  after 
the  children  of  Is  ra-el :  and  the 
children  of  ls/ra-el  went  out 
with  an  high  hand. 

9  But  the  E-tfp'tians  pursued 
after  them,  all  the  horses  and 
chariots  of  Pha'radh,  and  his 
horsemen,  and  his  army,  and 
overtook  them  encamping  by 
the  sea,  beside  Pi'-ha-hi'roih, 
before  B&'al-oS'phon. 

10  If  And  when  Pha'raSh  drew 
nigh,  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
lifted  up  their  eyes,  and,  behold, 
the  fi-gjrp'tians  marched  after 
them;  and  they  were  sore 
afraid :  and  the  children  of  Is> 
ra-el  cried  out  unto  the  Lord. 

11  And  they  said  unto  Md'seg, 
Because  there  were  no  graves 
in  E^pt,  hast  thou  taken  us 
away  to  die  in  the  wilderness? 
wherefore  hast  thou  dealt  thus 
with  us,  to  carry  us  forth  out  of 
E'gypt? 

12  Is  not  this  the  word  that 
we  did  tell  thee  in  Cgypt,  say- 
ing, Let  us  alone,  that  we  may 
serve  the  £-gyp'tians?  For  tt 
had  been  better  for  us  to  serve 
the  E-gyp'tiang,  than  that  we 
should  die  in  the  wilderness. 

13  ITAnd  Mo'ses  said  unto  the 
people,  Fear  ye  not,  stand  still, 
and  see  the  salvation  of  the 
Lord,  which  he  will  shew  to 
you  to  day :  for  the  E-gjrp'tians 
whom  ye  have  seen  to  day,  ye 
shall  see  them  again  no  more 
for  ever. 

14  The  Lord  shall  fight  for 
you,  and  ye  shall  hold  your 
peace. 

15  ITAnd  the  Lord  said  unto 
Ma'ses,  Wherefore  criest  thou 
unto  me?  speak  unto  the  chil* 
dren  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  go 
forward 

16  But  lift  thou  up  thy  rod* 
and  stretch  out  thine  hand  over 
the  sea,  and  divide  it :  and  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  go  on 
dry  ground  through  the  midst 
of  the  sea. 

17  And  I,  behold,  I  will  harden

the  hearts  of  the  &gyp'tiang, 
and  they  shall  follow  them :  and 
I  will  get  me  honour  upon  Pha'- 
ra5h9  and  upon  all  his  host,  tip- 
on  his  chariots,  and  upon  his 
horsemen. 

18  And  the  &4#p'tians  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when 
I  have  gotten  me  honour  upon 
Pha'raoh,  upon  his  chariots,  and 
upon  his  horsemen. 

19  IT  And  the  angel  of  God, 
which  went  before  the  camp  of 
I§'ra-el,  removed  and  went  be- 
hind them ;  and  the  pillar  of  the 
cloud  went  from  before  their 
face,  and  stood  behind  them: 

20  And  it  came  between  the 
camp  of  the  &-tfp'tian§  and  the 
camp  of  ig'ra*eT;  and  it  was  a 
cloud  and  darkness  to  them, 
but  it  gave  light  by  night  to 
these:  so  that  the  one  came 
not  near  the  other  all  the  night 

21  And  MS'ges.  stretched  out 
his  hand  over  the  sea;  and  the 
Lord  caused  the  sea  to  go  back 
by  a  strong  east  wind  all  that 
night,  and  made  the  sea  dry 
land,  and  the  waters  were  di- 
vided. 

22  And  the  children  of  Ifi'ra-el 
went  into  the  midst  of  the  sea 
upon  the  dry  ground :  and  the 
waters  were  a  wall  unto  them 
on  their  right  hand,  and  on 
their  left 

23  IT  And  the  fi-gyp'tians.  pur- 
sued, and  went  in  after  them  to 
the  midst  of  the  sea,  even  all 
Pha'radh's  horses,  his  chariots, 
and  his  horsemen. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in 
the  morning  watch  the  Lord 
looked  unto  the  host  of  the 
&g?p'tiang  through  .the  pillar 
of  fire  and  of  the  cloud,  and 
troubled  the  host  of  the  £-g?p'- 
tiana, 

25  And  took  off  their  chariot 
wheels,  that  they  drave  them 
heavily:  so  that  the  &gfp'tians 
said,  Let  us  flee  from  the  face 
of  Is/ra-el ;  for  the  Lord  fight- 
eth  for  them  against  the  &gh>'- 
tiang. 

26  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
MS'sea,  Stretch  out  thine  hand 
over  the  sea,  that  the  waters 
may  come  again  upon  the 
&gyp'tian&  upon  their  char- 
iots, and  upon  their  horsemen. 

27  And  MO'sea  stretched  forth 
his  hand  over  the  sea,  and  th*e 
sea  returned  to  his  strength 
when  the  morning  appeared; 
and  the  fi-gyp'tians  fled  against 
it;  and  the  Ix)RD  overthrew  the 
fcgjfp'tians  in  the  midst  of  the 
tea. 

28  And  the  waters  returned, 


and  covered  the  chariots,  and 
the  horsemen,  and  all  the  host 
of  Pha'raOh  that  came  into  the 
sea  after  them ;  there  remained 
not  so  much  as  one  of  them. 

29  But  the  children  of  !g'ra-el 
walked  upon  dry  land  in  the 
midst  of  the  sea;  and  the  wa- 
ters were  a  wall  unto  them  on 
their  right  hand,  and  on  their 
left 

30  Thus  the  Lord  saved  Ig'- 
ra-el  that  day  out  of  the  hand 
of  the  &gyp'tiang;  and  Ig'ra-el 
saw  the  E-gyp'tiang  dead  upon 
the  sea  shore. 

31  And  Ig'ra-el  saw  that  great 
work  which  the  Lord  did  upon 
the  &gfn'tiang :  and  the  people 
feared  the  Lord,  and  believed 
the  Lord,  and  his  servant  Md'- 
seg. 

CHAPTER  15 

Moeee'eonq.  22  The  people  want  vo- 
ter. 23  The  outer  water*  at  Ma- 
raK   27  Then  remove  to  EUm. 

THEN  sang  M&'geg  and  the 
children  of  Ig'ra-el  this  song 
unto  the  Lord,  and  spake,  say- 
ing; I  will  sing  unto  the  Lord, 
for  he  hath  triumphed  glori- 
ously: the  horse  and  his  rider 
hath  he  thrown  into  the  sea. 

2  The  Lord  is  my  strength 
and  song,  and  he  is  become  my 
salvation :  he  is  my  God,  and  I 
will  prepare  him  an  habitation ; 
my  father's  God,  and  I  will 
exalt  him. 

3  The  Lord  is  a  man  of  war: 
the  Lord  is  his  name. 

4  Pha'radh's  chariots  and  his 
host  hath  he  cast  into  the  sea: 
his  chosen  captains  also  are 
drowned  in  the  Red  sea. 

5  The  depths  have  covered 
them:  they  sank  into  the  bot- 
tom as  a  stone. 

6  Thy  right  hand,  0  Lord,  is 
become  glorious  in  power:  thy 
right  hand,  0  Lord,  hath  dashed 
in  pieces  the  enemy. 

7  And  in  the  greatness  of 
thine  excellency  thou  hast  over- 
thrown them  that  rose  up 
against  thee :  thou  sentest  forth 
thy  wrath,  which  consumed 
them  as  stubble. 

8  And  with  the  blast  of  thy 
nostrils  the  waters  were  gath- 
ered together,  the  floods  stood 
upright  as  an  heap,  and  the 
depths  were  congealed  in  the 
heart  of  the  sea. 

9  The  enemy  said,  I  will  pur- 
sue, I  will  overtake,  I  will  divide 
the  spoil ;  my  lust  shall  be  sat- 
isfied upon  them;  I  will  draw 
my  sword,  my  hand  shall  des- 
troy them.

11  Who  is  like  unto  thee,  0 
Lord,  among  the  gods?  who  is 
like  thee,  glorious  in  holiness, 
fearful  in  praises,  doing  won- 
ders? 

12  Thou  stretchedst  out  thy 
right  hand,  the  earth  swallowed 
them. 

13  Thou  in  thy  mercy  hast 
led  forth  the  people  which  thou 
hast  redeemed:  thou  hast  guided 
them  in  thy  strength  unto  thy 
holy  habitation. 

14  The'j>eople  shall  hear,  and 
be  afraid:  sorrow  shall  take 
hold  on  the  inhabitants  of  Pfil- 
es-ti'na. 

15  Then  the  dukes  of  Cdom 
shall  be  amazed;  the  mighty 
men  of  Md'ab,  trembling  shall 
take  hold  upon  them;  all  the 
inhabitants  of  C&'nfian  shall 
melt  away. 

16  Fear  and  dread  shall  fall 

Tra  them;  by  the  greatness 
thine  arm  they  shall  be  as 
still  as  a  stone;  till  thy  people 
pass  over,  O  Lord,  till  the  peo- 
ple pass  over,  which  thou  hast 
purchased. 

17  Thou  shalt  bring  them  in, 
and  plant  them  in  the  moun- 
tain of  thine  inheritance,  in 
the  place,  O  Lord,  which  thou 
hast  made  for  thee  to  dwell  in, 
in  the  Sanctuary,  O  Lord,  which 
thy  hands  have  established. 

18  The  Lord  shall  reign  for 
ever  and  ever. 

19  For  the  horse  of  Phfi'raCh 
went  in  with  his  chariots  and 
with  his  horsemen  into  the  sea, 
and  the  Lord  brought  again  the 
waters  of  the  sea  upon  them; 
but  the  children  of  I&'ra-el  went 
on  dry  land  in  the  midst  of  the 
sea. 

20  f  And  Mlrt-am  the  proph- 
etess, the  sister  of  A&r'on,  took 
a  timbrel  in  her  hand ;  and  all 
the  women  went  out  after  her 
with  timbrels  and  with  dances. 

21  And  lfirf-am  answered 
them,  Sing  ye  to  the  Lord,  for 
he  hath  triumphed  gloriously; 
the  horse  and  his  rider  hath 
he  thrown  into  the  sea. 

22  IT  So  Md'aeg  brought  Is/ra-el 
from  the  Red  sea,  and  they  went 
out  into  the  wilderness  of  Shfir ; 
and  they  went  three  days  in 
the  wilderness,  and  found  no 
water. 

23  IT  And  when  they  came  to 
M&'rah,  they  could  not  drink  of 
the  waters  of  Ma'rah,  for  they 
were  bitter :  therefore  the  name 
of  it  was  called  Ml'rah. 


24  And  the  people  murmured 
against  MO'ses,  saying,  What 
shall  we  drink? 

25  And  he  cried  unto  the 
Lord;  and  the  Lord  shewed 
him  a  tree,  which  when  he  had 
cast  into  the  waters,  the  waters 
were  made  sweet:  there  he  made 
for  them  a  statute  and  an  ordi- 
nance, and  there  he  proved 
them, 

26  And  said,  If  thou  wilt  dili- 
gently hearken  to  the  voice  of 
the  Lord  thy  God,  and  wilt  do 
that  which  is  right  in  his  sight, 
and  wilt  give  ear  to  his  com- 
mandments, and  keep  all  his 
statutes,  I  will  put  none  of  these 
diseases  upon  thee,  which  I  have 
brought  upon  the  fi-gyp'tiang: 
for  I  am  the  Lord  that  healeth 
thee. 

27  IF  And  they  came  to  Elim, 
where  were  twelve  wells  of 
water,  and  threescore  and  ten 
palm  trees :  and  they  encamped 
there  by  the  waters. 

CHAPTER  16 

The  Israelite*  come  to  Sin,  2  They 
murmur  for  want  of  bread.  11 
Quails  and  manna  are  sent.  25 
Manna  not  to  be  found  on  the  sab- 
bath.   32  An  omer  of  it  preserved. 

AND  they  took  their  journey 
from  Elim,  and  all  the  con 
negation  of  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el  came  unto  the  wilder- 
ness of  Sin,  which  is  between 
Elim  and  Si'nai,  on  the  fif- 
teenth day  of  the  second  month 
after  their  departing  out  of  the 
land  of  CTgypt. 

2  And  the  whole  congregation 
of  the  children  of  Is/ra*eT  mur- 
mured against  Md'ses.  and  A&r'on 
in  the  wilderness : 

3  And  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
said  unto  them,  Would  to  God 
we  had  died  by  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  in  the  land  of  Cgypt, 
when  we  sat  by  the  flesh  pots, 
and  when  we  did  eat  bread  to 
the  full;  for  ye  have  brought 
us  forth  into  this  wilderness,  to 
kill  this  whole  assembly  with 
hunger. 

4  If  Then  said  the  Lord  unto 
Md'ses,  Behold,  I  will  rain  bread 
from  heaven  for  you;  and  the 
people  shall  go  out  and  gather 
a  certain  rate  every  day,  that  I 
may  prove  them,  whether  they 
will  walk  in  my  law,  or  no. 

5  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  on  the  sixth  day  they  shall 
prepare  that  which  they  bring 
in; land  it  shall  be  twice  ~ 
much  as  they  gather  daily. 

6  And  Mo'ses.  and  A&r'on  said 
unto  all  the  children  of  Is/ra-el, 
At  even,  then  ye  shall  know  that

the  Lord  hath  brought  yon  out 
from  the  land  of  E'gjfyt : 

7  And  in  the  morning,  then 
ye  shall  see  the  glory  of  the 
Lord  ;  for  that  he  heareth  your 
murmurings  against  the  Lord  : 
and  what  are  we,  that  ye  mur- 
mur against  us  ? 

8  And  Md'ses  said,  This  shall 
be,  when  the  Lord  shall  give 
you  in  the  evening  flesh  to  eat, 
and  in  the  morning  bread  to  the 
full ;  for  that  the  Lord  heareth 
your  murmurings  which  ye  mur- 
mur against  him :  and  what  are 
we  7  your  murmurings  are  not 
against  us,  but  against  the  Lord. 

9  And  Md'geg  spake  unto  A&r'- 
on,  Say  unto  all  the  congrega- 
tion of  the  children  of  ls/ra-el, 
Come  near  before  the  Lord  :  for 
he  hath  heard  your  murmur- 
ings. 

10  %  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
AaYon  spake  unto  the  whole 
congregation  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  that  they  looked  toward 
the  wilderness,  and,  behold,  the 
glory  of  the  Lord  appeared  in 
the  cloud. 

11  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'seg,  saying, 

12  I  have  heard  the  murmur- 
ings of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el; 
speak  unto  them,  saying,  At 
even  ye  shall  eat  flesh,  and  in 
the  morning  ye  shall  be  filled 
with  bread ;  and  ye  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  at 
even  the  quails  came  up,  and 
covered  the  camp:  and  in  the 
morning  the  dew  lay  round 
about  the  host 

14  And  when  the  dew  that  lay 
was  gone  up,  behold,  upon  the 
face  of  the  wilderness  there  lay 
a  small  round  thing,  as  small  as 
the  hoar  frost  on  the  ground. 

15  And  when  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  saw  it,  they  said  one  to 
another,  It  is  manna :  for  they 
wist  not  what  it  was.  And  Mou- 
ses, said  unto  them,  This  is  the 
bread  which  the  Lord  hath 
given  vou  to  eat. 

16  This  is  the  thins  which  the 
Lord  hath  commanded,  Gather 
of  it  every  man  according  to 
his  eating,  an  omer  for  every 
man,  according  to  the  number 
of  your  persons ;  take  ye  every 
man  for  them  which  are  in  his 
tents. 

17  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
did  so,  and  gathered,  some  more, 
some  less. 

18  And  when  they  did  mete  it 
with  an  omer,  he  that  gathered 
much  had  nothing  over,  and  he 
that  gathered  little  had  no  lack; 


they  gathered  every  man  ac- 
cording to  his  eating. 

19  And  Md'ses.  said,  Let  no 
man  leave  of  it  till  the  morning. 

20  Notwithstanding  they  hear- 
kened not  unto  Md'ses;  but 
some  of  them  left  of  it  until 
the  morning,  and  it  bred  worms, 
and  stank:  and  MO'aes.  was  wroth 
with  them. 

21  And  they  gathered  it  every 
morning,  every  man  according 
to  his  eating:  and  when  the  sun 
waxed  hot,  it  melted. 

22  IFAnd  it  came  to  pass,  that 
on  the  sixth  day  they  gathered 
twice  as  much  bread,  two  omers 
for  one  man :  and  all  the  rulers 
of  the  congregation  came  and 
told  Md'ses. 

23  And  he  said  unto  them, 
This  is  that  which  the  Lord 
hath  said,  To  morrow  is  the 
rest  of  the  holy  sabbath  unto 
the  Lord  :  bake  that  which  ye 
will  bake  to  day,  and  seethe 
that  ye  will  seethe;  and  that 
which  remaineth  over  lay  up 
for  you  to  be  kept  until  the 
morning. 

24  And  they  laid  it  up  till  the 
morning,  as  Md'ses  hade :  and  it 
did  not  stink,  neither  Was  there 
any  worm  therein. 

25  And  Md'ses  said,  Eat  that 
to  day ;  for  to  day  is  a  sabbath 
unto  the  Lord  :  to  day  ye  shall 
not  find  it  in  the  field. 

26  Six  days  ye  shall  gather  it ; 
but  on  the  seventh  day,  which 
is  the  sabbath,  in  it  there  shall 
be  none. 

27  ITAnd  it  came  to  pass,  that 
there  went  out.  some  of  the 
people  on  the  seventh  day  for 
to  gather,  and  they  found  none. 

28  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md'ses*  How  long  refuse  ye  to 
keep  my  commandments  and 
my  laws? 

29  See,  for  that  the  Lord  hath 
given  you  the  sabbath,  therefore 
he  giveth  you  on  the  sixth  day 
the  bread  of  two  days ;  abide  ye 
every  man  in  his  place,  let  no 
man  go  out  of  his  place  on  the 
seventh  day. 

30  So  the  people  rested  on  the 
seventh  day. 

31  And  the  house  of  Is'ra-el 
called  the  name  thereof  Manna : 
and  it  was  like  coriander  seed, 
white;  and  the  taste  of  it  was 
like  wafers  made  with  honey. 

32  ITAnd  Md'ses  said,  This  is 
the  thing  which  the  Lord  com- 
mandeth,  Fill  an  omer  of  it  to 
be  kept  for  your  generations; 
that  they  may  see  the  bread 
wherewith  I  have  fed  you  in  the 
wilderness,  when  I  brought  you

33  And  Md'ses  said  unto  Aar'- 
on,  Take  a  pot,  and  put  an 
omer  full  of  manna  therein,  and 
lay  it  up  before  the  Lord,  to 
be  kept  for  your  generations. 

34  As  the  Lord  commanded 
Md'ses,  so  Aar'on  laid  it  up  be- 
fore the  Testimony,  to  be  kept 

35  And  the  children  of  I§'ra-ei 
did  eat  manna  forty  years,  until 
they  came  to  a  land  inhabited ; 
they  did  eat  manna,  until  they 
came  unto  the  borders  of  the 
land  of  Ci'n&an. 

36  Now  an  omer  is  the  tenth 
part  of  an  ephah* 

CHAPTER  17 

The  people  murmur  for  water  at 
Rephidim,  and  are  sent  to  the  rook 
in  Horeb.    13   Amalek  overcome; 

14  God's  vengeance  against  them. 

15  Moses  buildeth  an  altar. 

AND  all  the  congregation  of 
the  children  ofls'ra-el  jour- 
neyed from  the  wilderness  of 
Sin,  after  their  journeys,  accord- 
ing to  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord,  and  pitched  in  Rgph'i- 
dim:  and  there  was  no  water 
for  the  people  to  drink. 

2  Wherefore  the  people  did 
chide  with  Md'ses*  and  said,  Give 
us  water  that  we  may  drink. 
And  Md'sea  said  unto  them,  Why 
chide  ye  with  me?  wherefore  do 
ye  tempt  the  Lord  7 

3  And  the  people  thirsted  there 
for  water;  and  the  people  mur- 
mured against  Md'ses,  and  said, 
Wherefore  is  this  that  thou  hast 
brought  us  up  out  of  Efgypt,  to 
kill  us  and  our  children  and  our 
cattle  with  thirst? 

4  And  Md'ses  cried  unto  the 
Lord,  saying,  What  shall  I  do 
unto  this  people  ?  they  be  almost 
ready  to  stone  me. 

5  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo' 
Sea,  Go  on  before  the  people,  and 
take  with  thee  of  the  elders  of 
Is/ra-el ;  and  thy  rod,  wherewith 
thou  smotest  the  river,  take  In 
thine  hand,  and  go. 

6  Behold,  I  will  stand  before 
thee  there  upon  the  rock  in  H6' 
reb;  and  thou  shalt  smite  the 
rock,  and  there  shall  come  water 
out  of  it,  that  the  people  may 
drink.  And  Md'ses  did  so  in  the 
sight  of  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  And  he  called  the  name  of 
the  place  Mas'sah,  and  MeVi-bah, 
because  of  the  chiding  of  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el,  and  because 
they  tempted  the  Lord,  saying, 
Is  the  Lord  among  us,  or  not  ? 

8  HThen  came  Am'a-lSk,  and 
fought  with  Is/ra-el  in  Reph'i- 
dfcn. 

9  And  Md'ses  said  unto  Jdsh'- 


u-a,  Choose  us  out  men,  and  go 
out  fight  with  Am'a-iek :  to  mor- 
row I  will  stand  on  the  top  of 
the  hill  with  the  rod  of  God  in 
mine  hand. 

10  So  J5sh'u-a  did  as  Md'ses 
had  said  to  him,  and  fought  with 
Am'a-lfck:  and  Md'ses,  Aar'on, 
and  Hur  went  up  to  the  top  of 
the  hill. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Mo'ses  held  up  his  hand,  that 
Is'ra-el  prevailed :  and  when  he 
let  down  his  hand,  Am'a-lgk  pre- 
vailed. 

12  But  Md'ses'  hands  were 
heavy ;  and  they  took  a  stone, 
and  put  it  under  him,  and  he 
sat  thereon;  and  Aar'on  and 
Hur  stayed  up  his  hands,  the  one 
on  the  one  side,  and  the  other 
on  the  other  side ;  and  his  hands 
were  steady  until  the  going 
down  of  the  sun. 

13  And  Jdsh'u-a  discomfited 
Am'a-lgk  and  his  people  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword. 

14  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Md'- 
ses, Write  this  far  a  memorial 
in  a  book,  and  rehearse  it  in  the 
ears  of  Jdsh'u-a :  for  I  will  utter- 
ly put  out  the  remembrance  of 
Am'a-lgk  from  under  heaven. 

15  And  Md'ses  built  an  altar, 
and  called  the  name  of  it  JS-hd'- 
vah-nls'sl : 

16  For  he  said,  Because  the 
Lord  hath  sworn  that  the  Lord 
will  have  war  with  Am'a-lgk 
from  generation  to  generation. 

CHAPTER  18 

Jethro  bringeth  to  Moses  hie  wife  and 
two  eons  :  7  Moses  entertaineth  him, 
13  Jethro  giveth  Moses  counsel ;  it 
is  accepted.    27  Jethro  departetk. 

WHEN  Jtth'rd,  the  priest  of 
Mldl-an,  Md'ses'  father  in 
law,  heard  of  all  that  God  had 
done  for  Md'ses,  and  for  Is/ra-el 
his  people,  and  that  the  Lord 
had    brought    Is/ra-el    out    of 

2  Then  Jfith'rd,  Md'ses'  father 
in  law,  took  Zip-pd'rah,  Md'ses' 
wife,  after  he  had  sent  her  back, 

3  And  her  two  sons ;  of  which 
the  name  of  the  one  was  Ger- 
shdm ;  for  he  said,  I  have  been 
an  alien  in  a  strange  land : 

4  And  the  name  of  the  other 
was  £-li-€'zer;  for  the  God  of 
my  father,  said  he,  was  mine 
help,  and  delivered  me  from  the 
sword  of  Ph&'radh : 

5  And  JSth'rd,  Md'ses' father  in 
law,  came  with  his  sons  and  his 
wife  unto  Md'ses  into  the  wil- 
derness, where  he  encamped  at 
the  mount  of  God : 

6  And  he  said  unto  Md'ses,  I  thy 
father  in  law  JSth'rd  am  come

7  And  Md'geg  went  out  to 
meet  his  father  in  law,  and  did 
obeisance,  and  kissed  him ;  and 
they  asked  each  other  of  their 
welfare;  and  they  came  into 
the  tent 

8  And  Mo'geg  told  his  father 
in  law  all  that  the  Lord  had 
done  unto  Pharaoh  and  to  the 
&gyp'tiang  for  Ig'ra-el's  sake, 
ana  all  the  travail  that  had 
come  upon  them  by  the  way, 
and  how  the  Lord  delivered 
them. 

9  And  Jgth'ro  rejoiced  for  all 
the  goodness  which  the  Lord 
had  done  to  lg'ra-el,  whom  he 
had  delivered  out  of  the  hand 
of  the  E-gyp'tiang. 

10  And  Jeth'ro  said,  Blessed 
be  the  Lord,  who  hath  deliv- 
ered you  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
E-fcjfp'tiang,  and  out  of  the  hand 
of  Phfi'raSh,  who  hath  delivered 
the  people  from  under  the  hand 
of  the  &gyp'tians. 

11  Now  I  know  that  the  Lord 
is  greater  than  all  gods :  for  in 
the  thing  wherein  they  dealt 
proudly  he  was  above  them. 

12  And  Jeth'rd,  MiTses/  father 
in  law,  took  a  burnt  offering  and 
sacrifices  for  God:  and  AaVon 
came,  and  all  the  elders  of  Ig'- 
ra-el, to  eat  bread  with  Md'ges/ 
father  in  law  before  God. 

13  IF  And  it  came  to  pass  on 
the  morrow,  that  Md'ges  sat  to 
judge  the  people:  and  the  peo- 
ple stood  by  Mo'geg  from  the 
morning  unto  the  evening. 

14  And  when  Mo'geg'  father  in 
law  saw  all  that  he  did  to  the 
people,  he  said,  What  is  this 
thing  that  thou  doest  to  the 
people?  why  sittest  thou  thv 
self  alone,  and  all  the  people 
stand  by  thee  from  morning 
unto  even? 

15  And  Md'geg  said  unto  his  fa- 
ther in  law,  Because  the  people 
come  unto  me  to  enquire  of  God : 

16  When  they  have  a  matter, 
they  come  unto  me ;  and  I  judge 
between  one  and  another,  and  I 
do  make  them  know  the  stat- 
utes of  God,  and  his  laws. 

17  And  Mo'geg'  father  in  law 
said  unto  him,  The  thing  that 
thou  doest  is  not  good. 

18  Thou  wilt  surely  wear 
away,  both  thou,  and  this  peo- 
ple that  is  with  thee :  for  this 
thing  is  too  heavy  for  thee; 
thou  art  not  able  to  perform  it 
thyself  alone. 

19  Hearken  now  unto  my 
voice,  I  will  give  thee  counsel, 
and  God  shall  be  with  thee :  Be 


thou  for  the  people  to  God-ward, 
that  thou  mayest  bring  the 
causes  unto  God: 

20  And  thou  shalt  teach  them 
ordinances  and  laws,  and  shalt 
shew  them  the  way  wherein 
they  must  walk,  and  the  work 
that  they  must  do. 

21  Moreover  thou  shalt  pro- 
vide out  of  all  the  people  able 
men,  such  as  fear  God,  men  of 
truth,  hating  covetousness ;  and 
place,  such  over  them,  to  be 
rulers  of  thousands,  and  rulers 
of  hundreds,  rulers  of  fifties, 
and  rulers  of  tens: 

22  And  let  them  judge  the 
people  at  all  seasons:  and  it 
shall  be,  that  every  great  mat- 
ter they  shall  bring  unto  thee, 
but  every  small  matter  they 
shall  judge :  so  shall  it  be 
for  thyself,  and  they  shall  bear 
the  burden  with  thee. 

23  If  thou  shalt  do  this  thing, 
and  God  command  thee  so, 
then  thou  shalt  be  able  to  en- 
dure, and  all  this  people  shall 
also  go  to  their  place  in  peace. 

24  So  Md'geg  hearkened  to  the 
voice  of  his  father  in  law,  and 
did  all  that  he  had  said. 

25  And  Md'geg  chose  able  men 
out  of  all  Ig'ra-el,  and  made 
them  heads  over  the  people, 
rulers  of  thousands,  rulers  of 
hundreds,  rulers  of  fifties,  and 
rulers  of  tens. 

26  And  they  judged  the  people 
at  all  seasons:  the  hard  causes 
they  brought  unto  Md'geg,  but 
every  small  matter  they  judged 
themselves. 

27  IT  And  Md'geg  let  his  father 
in  law  depart;  and  he  went  his 
way  into  his  own  land.

10  They  are  prepared  against  the 
third  day.  12  The  mountain  must 
not  be  touched.  16  The  fearful 
preeenee  of  God  upon  the  mount. 

IN  the  third  month,  when  the 
children  of  Ig'ra-el  were  gone 
forth  out  of  the  land  of  rTgypt, 
the  same  day  came  they  into 
the  wilderness  of  Si'nai. 

2  For  they  were  departed  from 
Reph'i-dlxn,  and  were  come  to 
the  desert  of  Si'nai,  and  had 
pitched  in  the  wilderness;  and 
there  Ig'ra-el  camped  before  the 
mount 

3  And  Md'geg  went  up  unto 
God,  and  the  Lord  called  unto 
him  out  of  the  mountain,  say- 
ing, Thus  shalt  thou  say  to  the 
house  of  Jft'cob,  and  tell  the 
children  of  Ig'ra-el;

bare  you  on  eagles'  wines,  and  the  people  out  of  the  camp  to 


brought  you  unto  myself. 

5  Now  therefore,  if  ye  will 
obey  my  voice  indeed,  and  keep 
my  covenant,  then  ye  shall  be 
a  peculiar  treasure  unto  me 
above  all  people:  for  all  the 
earth  is  mine: 

6  And  ye  shall  be  unto  me  a 
kingdom  of  priests,  and  an  holy 
nation.  These  are  the  words 
which  thou  shalt  speak  unto  the 
children  of  Is/ra-eL 

7  IT  And  MS'gea  came  and  called 
for  the  elders  of  the  people,  and 
laid  before  their  faces  all  these 
words  which  the  Lord  com- 
manded him. 

8  And  all  the  people  answered 
together,  and  said,  All  that  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  we  will  do. 
And  Mft'ses  returned  the  words 
of  the  people  unto  the  Lord. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
M8'se&  Lo,  I  come  unto  thee  in 
a  thick  cloud,  that  the  people 
may  hear  when  I  speak  with 
thee,  and  believe  thee  for  ever. 
And  Md'gea  told  the  words  of 
the  people  unto  the  Lord, 

10  IF  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
M5'ge&  Go  unto  the  people,  and 
sanctify  them  to  day  and  to  mor- 

and  let  them  wash  their 
clothes, 

11  And  be  ready  against  the 
third  day :  for  the  third  day  the 
Lord  will  come  down  in  the 
sight  of  all  the  people  upon 
mount  Si'nai. 

12  And  thou  shalt  set  bounds 
unto  the  people  round  about, 
saying,  Take  heed  to  yourselves, 
that  ye  go  not  up  into  the 
mount,  or  touch  the  border  of 
it:  whosoever  toucheth  the 
mount  shall  be  surely  put  to 
death: 

13  There  shall  not  an  hand 
touch  it,  but  he  shall  surely  be 
stoned,  or  shot  through ;  wheth- 
er it  be  beast  or  man,  it  shall 
not  live:  when  the  trumpet 
soundeth  long,  they  shall  come 
up  to  the  mount 

14  IF  And  Mo'sefi  went  down 
from  the  mount  unto  the  people, 
and  sanctified  the  people;  and 
they  washed  their  clothes. 

15  And  he  said  unto  the  peo- 

Sle,  Be  ready  against  the  third 
ay:  come  not  at  your  wives. 

16  IF  And  it  came  to  pass  on 
the  third  day  in  the  morning, 
that  there  were  thunders  and 
lightnings,  and  a  thick  cloud 
upon  the  mount,  and  the  voice 
of  the  trumpet  exceeding  loud ; 
so  that  all  the  people  that  was 
in  the  camp  trembled. 

17  And  MO'ftes.  brought  forth 


meet  with  God ;  and  they  stood 
at  the  nether  part  of  the  mount 

18  And  mount  Si'nai  was  alto- 
gether on  a  smoke,  because  the 
Lord  descended  upon  it  in  fire : 
and  the  smoke  thereof  ascended 
as  the  smoke  of  a  furnace,  and 
the  whole  mount  quaked  greatly. 

19  And  when  the  voice  of 
the  trumpet  sounded  long,  and 
waxed  louder  and  louder,  MO'ses. 
spake,  and  God  answered  him 
by  a  voice. 

20  And  the  Lord  came  down 
upon  mount  Si'nai,  on  the  top 
of  the  mount:  and  the  Lord 
called  Mo'seg  up  to  the  top  of 
the  mount;  and  Mft'geg  went  up. 

21  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mffgea,  Go  down,  charge  the 
people,  lest  they  break  through 
unto  the  Lord  to  gate,  and 
many  of  them  perish. 

22  And  let  tne  priests  also, 
which  come  near  to  the  Lord, 
sanctify  themselves,  lest  the 
Lord  break  forth  upon  them. 

23  And  Md'ges  said  unto  the 
Lord,  The  people  cannot  come 
up  to  mount  Si'nai:  for  thou 
chargedst  us,  saying,  Set  bounds 
about  the  mount,  and  sanctify  it 

24  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
him,  Away,  get  thee  down,  and 
thou  shalt  come  up,  thou,  and 
Aar'on  with  thee:  but  let  not 
the  priests  and  the  people  break 
through  to  come  up  unto  the 
Lord,  lest  he  break  forth  upon 
them. 

25  So  Mouses,  went  down  unto 
the  people,  and  spake  unto  them.

AND   God   spake  all  these 
words,  saying, 

2  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God, 
which  have  brought  thee  out  of 
the  land  of  B'gypt,  out  of  the

3  Thou  shalt  have  no  other

the  earth  beneath,  or  that  ie  in

5  Thou  shalt  not  bow  down 
thyself  to  them,  nor  serve  them : 
for  I  the  Lord  thy  God  am  a 
jealous  God,  visiting  the  iniquity 
of  the  fathers  upon  the  children 
unto  the  third  and  fourth  gen- 
eration of  them  that  hate  me ;

7  Thou  shaft  not  take  the 
name  of  the  Lord  thy  God  in 
vain;  for  the  Lord  will  not 
hold  him  guiltless  that  taketh 
his  name  in  vain. 

8  Remember  the  sabbath  day, 
to  keep  it  holy. 

9  Six  days  shalt  thou  labour, 
and  do  all  thy  work : 

10  But  the  seventh  day  is  the 
sabbath  of  the  Lord  thy  God : 
in  it  tbou  shalt  not  do  any 
work,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor 
thy  daughter,  thy  manservant, 
nor  thy  maidservant,  nor  tnv 
cattle,  nor  thy  stranger  that  %s 
within  thy  gates: 

11  For  tn  six  davs  the  Lord 
made  heaven  and  earth,  the 
sea,  and*  all  that  in  them  is,  and 
rested  the  seventh  day :  where- 
fore the  Lord  blessed  the  sab- 
bath day,  and  hallowed  it 

12  ITHonour  thy  father  and  thy 
mother:  that  thy  days  may  be 
long  upon  the  land  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee. 

13  Thou  shalt  not  kill, 

14  Thou  shalt  not  commit 
adultery. 

15  Thou  shalt  not  steal 

16  Thou  shalt  not  beat  false 
witness  against  thy  neighbour. 

17  Thou  shalt  not  covet  thy 
neighbour's  house,  thou  shalt 
not  covet  thy  neighbour's  wife, 
nor  his  manservant,  nor  his 
maidservant,  nor  his  ox,  nor  his 
ass,  nor  any  thing  that  is  thy 
neighbour's. 

18  IFAnd  all  the  people  saw  the 
thunderings,  and  the  lightnings, 
and  the  noise  of  the  trumpet, 
and  the  mountain  smoking :  and 
when  the  people  saw  it,  they 
removed,  and  stood  afar  off. 

19  And  they  said  unto  Mo'ges, 
Speak  thou  with  us,  and  we  will 
hear:  but  let  not  God  speak 
with  us,  lest  we  die. 

20  And  Mo'ses  said,  unto  the 
people,  Fear  not:  for  God  is 
come  to  prove  you,  and  that  his 
fear  may  be  before  your  faces, 
that  ye  sin  not 

21  And  the  people  stood  afar 
off,  and  M5'se§  drew  near  unto 
the  thick  darkness  where  God 
was. 

22  HAnd  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md'ges,  Thus  thou  shalt  say  unto 
the  children  of  Ig'ra-el,  Ye  have 
seen  that  I  have  talked  with  you 
from  heaven. 

23  Ye  shall  not  make  with  me 
gods  of  silver,  neither  shall  ye 
make  unto  you  gods  of  gold* 

24  An  altar  of  earth  thou  shalt 
make  unto  me,  and  shalt  sacri- 
fice thereon  thy  burnt  offerings) 
and  thy    peace  offerings,  thy 


sheep,  and  thine  oxen:  in  all 
places  where  I  record  my  name  I 
will  come  unto  thee,  and  1  will 
bless  thee. 

25  And  if  thou  wilt  make  me 
an  altar  of  stone,  thou  shalt  not 
build  it  of  hewn  stone:  for  if 
thou  lift  up  thy  tool  upon  it, 
thou. hast  polluted  it 

26  Neither  shalt  thou  go  up  by 
steps  unto  mine  altar,  that  thy 
nakedness  be  not  discovered 
thereon. 

CHAPTER  21 
Laws  for  menaervanU,  1  for  women- 
servants,  12  for  murder  and  man' 
daughter,  16  for  menatealers,  VI for 
cursor*  of  parents,  18  for  emiter*, 
etc. 

NOW  these  are   the  judg- 
ments which   thou  shalt 
set  before  them. 

2  If  thou  buy  an  Hebrew  serv- 
ant, six  years  he  shall  serve 
and  in  the  seventh  he  shall  go 
out  free  for  nothing. 

3  If  he  came  in  by  himself,  he 
shall  go  out  by  himself :  if  he 
were  married,  then  his  wife 
shall  go  out  with  him. 

4  If  his  master  have  given 
him  a  wife,  and  she  have  born 
him  sons  or  daughters ;  the  wife 
and  her  children  shall  be  her 
master's,  and  he  shall  go  out  by 
himself. 

5  And  if  the  servant  shall 
plainly  say,  I  love  my  master, 
my  wife,  and  my  children;  I 
will  not  go  out  free: 

6  Then  his  master  shall  brini 
him  unto  the  judges;  he  shal 
also  bring  him  to  the  door,  or 
unto  the  door  post;  and  his 
master  shall  bore  his  ear 
through  with  an  aul;  and  he 
shall  serve  him  for  ever. 

7  IT  And  if  a  man  sell  his 
daughter  to  be  a  maidservant 
she  shall  not  go  out  as  the  men 
servants  do. 

8  If  she  please  not  her  master, 
who  hath  betrothed  her  to 
himself,  then  shall  he  let  her 
be  redeemed :  to  sell  her  unto  a 
strange  nation  he  shall  have  no 
power,  seeing  he  hath  dealt  de- 
ceitfully with  her. 

9  And  if  he  have  betrothed 
her  unto  his  son,  he  shall  deal 
with  her  after  the  manner  of 
daughters. 

10  If  he  take  him  another 
wife;  her  food,  her  raiment 
and  her  duty  of  marriage,  shall 
he  not  diminish. 

11  And  if  he  do  not  these  three 
unto  her,  then  shall  she  go  out 
free  without  money. 

12  U  He  that  smiteth  a  man,  so 
that  he  die,  shall  be  surely  put 
to  death.

but  God  deliver  hvm  into  his 
hand ;  then  I  will  appoint  thee  a 
place  whither  he  shall  flee. 

14  But  if  a  man  come  pre- 
sumptuously upon  his  neigh- 
bour, to  slay  him  with  guile; 
thou  shalt  take  him  from  mine 
altar,  that  he  may  die. 

15  And  he  that  smiteth  his  fa-

surely  put  to  death.

surely  be  put  to  death. 

17  ITAnd  he  that  curseth  his 
father,  or  his  mother,  shall  sure-

er, and  one  smite  another  with 
a  stone,  or  with  his  fist,  and  he 
die  not,  but  keepeth  his  bed : 

19  If  he  rise  again,  and  walk 
abroad  upon  his  staff,  then  shall 
he  that  smote  him  be  quit :  only 
he  shall  fay  for  the  loss  of  his 
time,  and  shall  cause  him  to  be 
thoroughly  healed. 

20  If  And  if  a  man  smite  his 
servant,  or  his  maid,  with  a  rod, 
and  he  die  under  his  hand ;  he 
shall  be  surely  punished. 

21  Notwithstanding,  if  he  con- 
tinue a  day  or  two,  he  shall 
not  be  punished :  for  he  is  his 
money.

no  mischief  follow :  he  shall  be 
surely  punished,  according  as 
the  woman's  husband  will  lay 
upon  him ;  and  he  shall  pay  as 
the  judges  determine. 

23  And  it  any  mischief  follow, 
then  thou  shalt  give  life  for  life, 

24  Eve  for  eye,  tooth  for  tooth, 
hand  for  hand,  foot  for  foot, 

25  Burningfor  burning,  wound 
for  wound,  stripe  for  stripe. 

26  ITAnd  if  a  man  smite  the 
eye  of  his  servant,  or  the  eye 
of  his  maid,  that  it  perish;  he 
shall  let  him  go  free  for  his  eye's 
sake. 

27  And  if  he  smite  out  his  man- 
servant's tooth,  or  his  maidserv- 
ant's tooth ;  he  shall  let  him  go 
free  for  his  tooth's  sake. 

28  IFIf  an  ox  gore  a  man  or  a 
woman,  that  they  die :  then  the 
ox  shall  be  surely  stoned,  and 
his  flesh  shall  not  be  eaten ;  but 
the  owner  of  the  oxshall  be  quit. 

29  But  if  the  ox  were  wont  to 
push  with  his  horn  in  time  past, 
and  it  hath  been  testified  to  his 
owner,  and  he  hath  not  kept 
him  in,  but  that  he  hath  killed 
a  man  or  a  woman ;  the  ox  shall 


be  stoned,  and  his  owner  also 
shall  be  put  to  death. 

30  If  there  be  laid  on  him  a  sum 
of  money,  then  he  shall  give 
for  the  ransom  of  his  life  what- 
soever is  laid  upon  him. 

31  Whether  he  have  gored  a 
son,  or  have  gored  i  daughter, 
according  to  this  judgment  shall 
it  be  done  unto  him. 

32  If  the  ox  shall  push  a  man- 
servant or  a  maidservant;  he 
shall  *  give  unto  their  master 
thirty  shekels  of  silver,  and  the 
ox  shall  be  stoned. 

33  IF  And  if  a  man  shall  open  a 
pit,  or  if  a  man  shall  dig  a  pit, 
and  not  cover  it,  and  an  ox  or 
an  ass  fall  therein ; 

34  The  owner  of  the  pit  shall 
make  it  good,  and  give  money 
unto  the  owner  of  them;  and 
the  dead  beast  shall  be  his. 

35  fAnd  if  one  man's  ox  hurt 
another's,  that  he  die;  then 
they  shall  sell  the  live  ox,  and 
divide  the  money  of  it ;  and  the 
dead  ox  also  they  shall  divide. 

36  Or  if  it  be  known  that  the  ox 
hath  used  to  push  in  time  past, 
and  his  owner  hath  not  kept 
him  in ;  he  shall  surely  pay  ox 
for  ox ;  and  the  dead  shall  be  his 
own.

then  the  master  of  the  house 
shall  be  brought  unto  the 
judges,  to  see  whether  he  have 
put  his  hand  unto  his  neigh*

whether  it  be  for  ox,  for  ass, 
for  sheep,  for  raiment,  or  for 
any  manner  of  lost  thing,  which

the  cause  of  both  parties  shall 
come  before  the  judges;  and 
whom  the  judges  shall  con- 
demn, he  shall  pay  double  un-

10  If  a  man  deliver  unto  his 
neighbour  an  ass,  or  an  ox,  or  a 
sheep,  or  any  beast,  to  keep; 
and  it  die,  or  be  hurt,  or  driven 
away,  no  man  seeing  it : 

11  Then  shall  an  oath  of  the 
Lord  he  between  them  both, 
that  he  hath  not  put  his  hand 
unto  his  neighbour*  goods ;  and 
the  owner  of  it  shall  accept 
thereof,  and  he  shall  not  make 
it  good. 

12  And  if  it  be  stolen  from 
him,  he  shall  make  restitution 
unto  the  owner  thereof. 

13  If  it  be  torn  in  pieces,  then 
let  him  bring  it  for  witness, 
and  he  shall  not  make  good 
that  which  was  torn. 

14  IT  And  if  a  man  borrow 
ought  of  his  neighbour,  and  it 
be  hurt,  or  die,  the  owner  there- 
of being  not  with  it,  he  shall 
surely  make  it  good. 

15  But  if  the  owner  thereof 
be  with  it,  he  shall  not  make  it 
pood:  if  it  be  an  hired  thing, 
it  came  for  his  hire. 

16  IT  And  if  a  man  entice  a 
maid  that  is  not  betrothed,  and 
lie  with  her,  he  shall  surely  en- 
dow her  to  be  his  wife. 

17  If  her  father  utterly  refuse 
to  give  her  unto  him,  he  shall 
pay  money  according  to  the 
dowry  of  virgins.

any  god,  save  unto  the  Lord 
only,  he  shall  be  utterly  des-

widow,  or  fatherless  child. 


23  If  thou  afflict  them  in  any 
wise,  and  they  cry  at  all  unto 
me,  I  will  surely  hear  their  cry ; 

24  And  my  wrath  shall  wax 
hot,  and  I  will  kill  you  with  the 
sword;  and  your  wives  shall 
be  widows,  and  your  children 
fatherless. 

25  IT  If  thou  lend  money  to 
any  of  my  people  that  is  poor 
by  thee,  thou  shalt  not  be  to 
him  as  an  usurer,  neither  shalt 
thou  lay  upon  him  usury. 

26  If  thou  at  all  take  thy 
neighbour's  raiment  to  pledge, 
thou  shalt  deliver  it  unto  him 
by  that  the  sun  goeth  down : 

27  For  that  is  his  covering 
only,  it  is  his  raiment  for  his 
skin:  wherein  shall  he  sleep? 
and  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when 
he  crieth  unto  me,  that  I  will 
hear ;  for  I  am  gracious. 

28  %  Thou  shalt  not  revile  the 
gods,  nor  curse  the  ruler  of  thy 
people. 

29  %  Thou  shalt  not  delay  to 
offer  the  first  of  thy  ripe  fruits, 
and  of  thy  liquors:  the  first- 
born of  thy  sons  shalt  thou  give 
unto  me. 

30  likewise  shalt  thou  do  with 
thine  oxen,  and  with  thy  sheen : 
seven  days  it  shall  be  with  his 
dam;  on  the  eighth  day  thou 
shalt  give  it  me.

gift:  for  the  gift  blindeth  the 
wise,  and  perverteth  the  words 
of  the  righteous. 

9  1  Also  thou  shalt  not  oppress 
a  stranger:  for  ye  know  the 
heart  of  a  stranger,  seeing  ye 
were  strangers  in  the  land  of 
E-fcypt 

10  And  six  years  thou  shalt 
sow  thy  land,  and  shalt  gather 
in  the  fruits  thereof: 

11  But  the  seventh  year  thou 
shalt  let  it  rest  and  lie  still; 
that  the  poor  of  thy  people  may 
eat:  and  what  they  leave  the 
beasts  of  the  field  shall  eat  In 
like  manner  thou  shalt  deal 
with  thy  vineyard,  and  with 
thy  oliveyard. 

12  Six  days  thou  shalt  do  thy 
work,  and  on  the  seventh  day 
thou  shalt  rest:  that  thine  ox 
and  thine  ass  may  rest,  and  the 
son  of  thy  handmaid,  and  the 
stranger,  may  be  refreshed. 

13  And  in  all  things  that  I 
have  said  unto  you  be  circum- 
spect :  and  make  no  mention  of 
the  name  of  other  gods,  neither 
let  it  be  heard  out  of  thy  mouth. 

14  IF  Three  times  thou  shalt 
keep  a  feast  unto  me  in  the 
year. 

15  Thou  shalt  keep  the  feast 
of  unleavened  bread:  (thou 
shalt  eat  unleavened  bread 
seven  days,  as  I  commanded 
thee,  in  the  time  appointed  of 
the  month  A'blb ;  for  in  it  thou 
earnest  out  from  Ef&fft:  and 
none  shall  appear  before 
empty:) 

16  And  the  feast  of  harvest, 
the  firstfruits  of  thy  labours, 
which  thou  hast  sown  in  the 
field :  and  the  feast  of  ingath- 
ering, which  is  in  the  end  of 
the  year,  when  thou  hast  gath- 
ered in  thy  labours  out  of  the 
field. 

17  Three  times  in  the  year 
all  thy  males  shall  appear  be- 
fore the  Lord  God. 

18  Thou  shalt  not  offer  the 
blood  of  my  sacrifice  with  leav- 
ened bread;  neither  shall  the 
fat  of  my  sacrifice  remain  until 
the  morning. 

19  The  first  of  the  firstfruits 
of  thy  land  thou  shalt  bring  in 
to  the  house  of  the  Lord  thy 
God  Thou  shalt  not  seethe  a 
kid  in  his  mother's  milk. 

20  IF  Behold,  I  send  an  Ansel 
before  thee,  to  keep  thee  in  the 
way,  and  to  bring  thee  into  the 
place  which  I  have  prepared. 

21  Beware  of  him,  and  obey  his 


voice,  provoke  him  not;  for  he 
will  not  pardon  your  transgres- 
sions :  for  my  name  is  in  him. 

22  But  if  thou  shalt  indeed 
obey  his  voice,  and  do  all  that  I 
speak ;  then  I  will  be  an  enemy 
unto  thine  enemies,  and  an  ad- 
versary unto  thine  adversaries. 

23  For  mine  Angel  shall  go 
before  thee,  and  bring  thee  in 
unto  the  Am'dr-ites,  and  the 
ffit'tites,  and  thePeVlMi  tes,  and 
the  Cft'naan-ites,  the  Hi'vites, 
and  the  JeVu-sites:  and  I  will 
cut  them  off. 

24  Thou  shalt  not  bow  down 
to  their  gods,  nor  serve  them, 
nor  do  after  their  works:  but 
thou  shalt  utterly  overthrow 
them,  and  quite  break  down 
their  images. 

25  And  ye  shall  serve  the  Lord 
your  God,  and  he  shall  bless  thy 
bread,  and  thy  water ;  and  I  will 
take  sickness  away  from  the 
midst  of  thee. 

26  1T  There  shall  nothing  cast 
their  young,  nor  be  barren,  in 
thy  land:  the  number  of  thy 
days  I  will  fulfil. 

27  I  will  send  my  fear  before 
thee,  and  will  destroy  all  the 
people  to  whom  thou  shalt  come, 
and  I  will  make  all  thine  ene- 
mies turn  their  backs  unto  thee. 

28  And  I  will  send  hornets  be- 
fore thee,  which  shall  drive  out 
the  Hi'vite,  the  Ca'nftan-ite,  and 
the  HIt'tite,  from  before  thee. 

29  I  will  not  drive  them  out 
from  before  thee  in  one  year; 
lest  the  land  become  desolate, 
and  the  beast  of  the  field  multi 
ply  against  thee. 

30  By  little  and  little  I  will 
drive  them  out  from  before  thee, 
until  thou  be  increased,  and  in- 
herit the  land. 

31  And  I  will  set  thy  bounds 
from  the  Red  sea  even  unto  the 
sea  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  from 
the  desert  unto  the  river :  for  I 
will  deliver  the  inhabitants  of 
the  land  into  your  hand;  and 
thou  shalt  drive  them  out  be- 
fore thee. 

32  Thou  shalt  make  no  cove- 
nant with  them,  nor  with  their 
gods. 

33  They  shall  not  dwell  in 
thy  land,  lest  they  make  thee 
sin  against  me :  for  if  thou  serve 
their  gods,  it  will  surely  be  a 
snare  unto  thee.

afar  off. 

2  And  Md'ses.  alone  shall  come 
near  the  Lord  :  bat  they  shall 
not  come  nigh;  neither  shall 
the  people  go  up  with  him. 

3  T  And  Mb'ses.  came  and  told 
the  people  all  the  words  of  the 
Lord,  and  all  the  judgments 
and  all  the  people  answered 
with  one  voice,  and  said,  All  the 
words  which  the  Lord  hath  said 
will  we  do. 

4  And  Mo'seg  wrote  all  the 
words  of  the  Lord,  and  rose  up 
early  in  the  morning,  and  build- 
ed  an  altar  under  the  hill,  and 
twelve  pillars,  according  to  the 
twelve  tribes  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  And  he  sent  young  men  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  which 
offered  burnt  offerings,  and  sac* 
rificed  peace  offerings  of  oxen 
unto  the  Lord. 

6  And  Mo'geg  took  half  of  the 
blood,  and  put  it  in  basons;  and 
half  of  the  blood  he  sprinkled 
on  the  altar. 

7  And  he  took  the  book  of  the 
covenant,  and  read  in  the  audi- 
ence of  the  people:  and  they 
said,  All  that  the  Lord  hath  said 
will  we  do,  and  be  obedient, 

8  And  Md'ses  took  the  blood, 
and  sprinkled  it  on  the  people, 
and  said,  Behold  the  blood  of 
the  covenant,  which  the  Lord 
hath  made  with  you  concerning 
all  these  words. 

9  TThen  went  up  Md'ses,  and 
Aa^on,  Na'dfib,  and  A-bi'hu,  and 
seventy  of  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el : 

10  And  they  saw  the  God  of  Is'- 
ra-el :  and  there  woe  under  his 
feet  as  it  were  a  paved  work  of 
a  sapphire  stone,  and  as  it  were 
the  body  of  heaven  in  his  clear- 


11  And  upon  the  nobles  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  he  laid  not 
his  hand:  also  they  saw  God, 
and  did  eat  and  drink. 

12  IF  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md^es,  Come  up  to  me  into  the 
mount,  and  be  there :  and  I  will 

g've  thee  tables  of  stone,  and  a 
w,  and  commandments  which 
I  have  written ;  that  thou  may- 
est  teach  them. 

13  And  M5'ses  rose  up,  and  his 
minister  Jdsh'u-a:  and  Md'ses 
went  up  into  the  mount  of  God. 

14  And  he  said  unto  the  elders, 
Tarry  ye  here  for  us,  until  we 
come  again  unto  you:  and,  be- 
hold, A&r'on  and  fiur  are  with 
you :  if  any  man  have  any  mat- 
ters to  do,  let  him  come  unto 
them. 


15  IT  And  Md'ses  went  up  into 
the  mount,  and  a  cloud  covered 
the  mount 

16  And  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
abode  upon  mount  Sl'nfii,  and 
the  cloud  covered  it  six  days: 
and  the  seventh  day  he  called 
unto  Md'ses  out  of  the  midst  of 
the  cloui 

17  And  the  sight  of  the  glory 
of  the  Lord  was  like  devour- 
ing fire  on  the  top  of  the  mount 
in  the  eyes  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el. 

18  And  Md'ses  went  into  the 
midst  of  the  cloud,  and  gat  him 
up  into  the  mount:  and  Md'ses 
was  in  the  mount  forty  days 
and  forty  nights.

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'ses,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  that  they  bring  me  an 
offering:  of  every  man  that  giv- 
eth  it  willingly  with  his  heart 
ye  shall  take  my  offering. 

3  And  this  is  the  offering 
which  ye  shall  take  of  them;

4  And  blue,  and  purple,  and

hairf 

5  And  rams'  skins  dyed  red,

cense, 

7  Onyx  stones,  and  stones  to 
be  set  in  the  ephod,  and  in  the 
breastplate. 

8  And  let  them  make  me  a 
sanctuary;  that  I  may  dwell 
among  them. 

9  According  to  all  that  I  shew 
thee,  after  the  pattern  of  the 
tabernacle,  and  the  pattern  of 
all  the  instruments  thereof, 
even  so  shall  ye  make  it. 

10  HAnd  they  shall  make  an 
ark  of  shittim  wood:  two  cubits 
and  a  half  shall  be  the  length 
thereof,  and  a  cubit  and  a  half 
the  breadth  thereof,  and  a  cubit 
and  a  half  the  height  thereof. 

11  And  thou  shaft  overlay  it 
with  pure  gold,  within  and  with- 
out shalt  thou  overlay  it,  and 
shalt  make  upon  it  a  crown  of 
gold  round  about 

12  And  thou  shalt  cast  four 
rings  of  gold  for  it,  and  put 
them  in  the  four  corners  there- 
of ;  and  two  rings  shall  be  in  the 
one  side  of  it,  and  two  rings  in 
the  other  side  of  it

14  And  thou  shalt  put  the 
staves  into  the  rings  by  the 
sides  of  the  ark,  that  the  ark 
may  be  borne  with  them. 

15  The  staves  shall  be  in  the 
rings  of  the  ark :  they  shall  not

give  thee.

the  two  encjs  of  the  mercy  seat 

19  And  make  one  cherub  on 
the  one  end,  and  the  other 
cherub  on  the  other  end :  even 
of  the  mercy  seat  shall  ye  make 
the  cherubims  on  the  two  ends 
thereof. 

20  And  the  cherubims  shall 
stretch  forth  their  wings  on 
high,  covering  the  mercy  seat 
with  their  wings,  and  their  faces 
shall  look  one  to  another;  to- 
ward the  mercy  seat  shall  the 
faces  of  the  cherubims  be. 

21  And  thou  shalt  put  the 
mercy  seat  above  upon  the  ark; 
and  in  the  ark  thou  shalt  nut 
the  testimony  that  I  shall  give 
thee. 

22  And  there  I  will  meet  with 
thee,  and  I  will  commune  with 
thee  from  above  the  mercy 
seat,  from  between  the  two 
cherubims  which  are  upon  the 
ark  of  the  testimony,  of  all 
things  which  I  will  give  thee 
in  commandment  unto  the  chil-

on's  forehead,  that  AaVon  may 


bear  the  iniquity  of  the  holy 
things,  which  the  children  of 
ls/ra-el  shall  hallow  in  all  their 
holy  gifts;  and  it  shall  be  al- 
ways upon  his  forehead,  that 
they  may  be  accepted  before  the 
Lord. 

39  HAnd  thou  shalt  embroider 
the  coat  of  fine  linen,  and  thou 
shalt  make  the  mitre  of  fine

6  And  thou  shalt  put  the  mitre 
upon  his  head,  and  put  the  holy 
crown  upon  the  mitre. 

7  Then  shalt  thou  take  the 
anointing  oil,  and  pour  it  upon 
his  head,  and  anoint  him. 

8  And  thou  shalt  bring  his 
sons,  and  put  coats  upon  them. 

9  And  thou  shalt  gird  them 
with  girdles,  AAVon  and  his 
sons,  and  put  the  bonnets  on 
them:  ana  the  priest's  office 
shall  be  theirs  for  a  perpetual 
statute:  and  thou  shalt  conse- 
crate Afir'on  and  his  sons. 

10  And  thou  shalt  cause  a  bul- 
lock to  be  brought  before  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation : 
and  A&Yon  and  his  sons  shall 
put  their  hands  upon  the  head 
of  the  bullock. 

11  And  thou  shalt  kill  the  bul- 
lock before  the  Lord,  by  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation. 

12  And  thou  shalt  take  of  the 
blood  of  the  bullock,  and  put  it 
upon  the  horns  of  the  altar  with 
thy  finger,  and  pour  all  the 
blood  beside  the  bottom  of  the 
altar. 

13  And  thou  shalt  take  all  the 
fat  that  covereth  the  inwards, 
and  the  caul  that  is  above  the 
liver,  and  the  two  kidneys,  and 
the  fat  that  is  upon  them,  and 
burn  them  upon  the  altar. 

14  But  the  flesh  of  the  bullock, 
and  his  skin,  and  his  dung,  shalt 
thou  burn  with  fire  without  the 
camp :  it  is  a  sin  offering. 

15  HThou  shalt  also  take  one 
ram;  and  A&r'on  and  his  sons 
shall  put  their  hands  upon  the 
head  of  the  ram. 

16  And  thou  shalt  slay  the 
ram,  and  thou  shalt  take  his 
blood,  and  sprinkle  it  round 
about  upon  the  altar. 

17  And  thou  shalt  cut  the  ram 
in  pieces,  and  wash  the  inwards 
of  nim,  and  his  legs,  and  put 
them  unto  his  pieces,  and  unto 
his  head. 

18  And  thou  shalt  burn  the 
whole  ram  upon  the  altar:  it 
is  a  burnt  offering  unto  the 
Lord  :  it  is  a  sweet  savour,  an 
offering  made  by  fire  unto  the 
Lord.  « 

19  And  thou  shalt  take  the 
other  ram ;  and  A&r'on  and  his 
sons  shall  put  their  hands  upon 
the  head  of  the  ram. 

20  Then  shalt  thou  kill  the 
ram,  and  take  of  his  blood,  and 


put  it  upon  the  tip  of  the  right __ 

ear  of  Afir'on,  and  upon  the  tip  gregation  to  minister  in 
of  the  right  ear  of  his  sons,  and  holy  jplace, 
upon  the  thumb  of  their  right 
hand,  and  upon  the  great  toe  of 


their  right  foot,  and  sprinkle 
the  blood  upon  the  altar  round 
about 

21  And  thou  shalt  take  of  the 
blood  that  is  upon  the  altar,  and 
of  the  anointing  oil,and  sprinkle 
it  upon  AaYon,  and  upon  his  gar- 
ments, and  upon  his  sons,  and 
upon  the  garments  of  his  sons 
with  him:  and  he  shall  be  hal- 
lowed, and  his  garments,  and  his 
sons,  and  his  sons'  garments 
with  him. 

22  Also  thou  shalt  take  of  the 
ram  the  fat  and  the  rump,  and 
the  fat  that  covereth  the  in- 
wards, and  the  caul  above  the 
liver,  and  the  two  kidneys,  and 
the  fat  that  is  upon  them,  and 
the  right  shoulder;  for  it  is  a 
ram  of  consecration : 

23  And  one  loaf  of  bread,  and 
one  cake  of  oiled  bread,  and  one 
wafer  out  of  the  basket  of  the 
unleavened  bread  that  is  before 
the  Lord: 

24  And  thou  shalt  put  all  in 
the  hands  of  AaYon,  and  in  the 
hands  of  his  sons;  and  shalt 
wave  them /or  a  wave  offering 
before  the  Lord. 

25  And  thou  shalt  receive 
them  of  their  hands,  and  burn 
them  upon  the  altar  for  a  burnt 
offering,  for  a  sweet  savour  be- 
fore the  Lord  :  it  w  an  offering 
made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord. 

26  And  thou  shalt  take  the 
breast  of  the  ram  of  AaYon's 
consecration,  and  wave  it  for  a 
wave  offering  before  the  Lord: 
and  it  shall  be  thy  part 

27  And  thou  shalt  sanctify  the 
breast  of  the  wave  offering,  and 
the  shoulder  of  the  heave  offer- 
ing, which  is  waved,  and  which 
is  heaved  up,  of  the  ram  of 
the  consecration,  even  of  that 
which  is  for  Afir'on,  and  of  that 
which  is  for  his  sons : 

28  And  it  shall  be  AaVon's  and 
his  sons'  by  a  statute  for  ever 
from  the  children  of  Is/ra-el :  for 
it  is  an  heave  offering:  and  it 
shall  be  an  heave  offering  from 
the  children  of  Is/ra-el  of  the 
sacrifice  of  their  peace  offerings, 
even  their  heave  offering  unto 
the  Lord. 

29  IT  And  the  holy  garments  of 
Adfon  shall  be  his  sons'  after 
him,  to  be  anointed  therein,  and 
to  be  consecrated  in  them. 

30  And  that  son  that  is  priest 
in  his  stead  shall  put  them  on 
seven  days,  when  he  cometh 
into  the  tabernacle  of  the  con-

seethe   his   flesh  in  the  holy 
place. 

32  And  Aar'on  and  his  sons 
shall  eat  the  flesh  of  the  ram, 
and  the  bread  that  is  in  the 
basket,  by  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation. 

33  And  they  shall  eat  those 
things  wherewith  the  atone- 
ment was  made,  to  consecrate 
and  to  sanctify  them:  but  a 
stranger  shall  not  eat  thereof, 
because  they  are  holy. 

34  And  if  ought  of  the  flesh 
of  the  consecrations,  or  of  the 
bread*  remain  unto  the  morn- 
ing, then  thou  shalt  burn  the 
remainder  with  fire :  it  shall  not 
be  eaten,  because  it  is  holy. 

35  And  thus  shalt  thou  do  un- 
to Aar'on,  and  to  his  sons,  ac- 
cording to  all  things  which  I 
have  commanded  thee:  seven 
days  shalt  thou  consecrate  them. 

36  And  thou  shalt  offer  every 
day  a  bullock  for  a  sin  offering 
for  atonement:  and  thou  shall 
cleanse  the  altar,  when  thou 
hast  made  an  atonement  for  it, 
and  thou  shalt  anoint  it,  to  sanc- 
tify it 

37  Seven  days  thou  shalt  make 
an  atonement  for  the  altar,  and 
sanctify  it;  and  it  shall  be 
an  altar  most  holy :  whatsoever 
toucheth  the  altar  shall  be  holy. 

38  IT  Now  this  is  that  which 
thou  shalt  offer  upon  the  altar ; 
two  lambs  of  the  first  year  day 
by  day  continually. 

39  The  one  lamb  thou  shalt 
offer  in  the  morning;  and  the 
other  lamb  thou  shalt  offer  at 
even: 

40  And  with  the  one  lamb  a 
tenth  deal  of  flour  mingled  with 
the  fourth  part  of  an  hin  of 
beaten  oil ;  and  the  fourth  part 
of  an  hin  of  wine  for  a  drink 
offering. 

41  And  the  other  lamb  thou 
shalt  offer  at  even,  and  shah  do 
thereto  according  to  the  meat 
offering  of  the  morning,  and  ac- 
cording to  the  drink  offering 
thereof,  for  a  sweet  savour,  an 
offering  made  by  fire  unto  the 
Lord. 

42  This  shall  be  a  continual 
burnt  offering  throughout  your 
generations  at  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation 
before  the  Lord:  where  I  will 
meet  you,  to  speak  there  unto 
thee. 

43  And  there  I  will  meet  with 
the  children  of  Is/ra-el,  and  the 
tabernacle  shall  be  sanctified 
by  my  glory. 

44  And  I  will  sanctify  the  tab- 
ernacle of  the   congregation, 


and  the  altar:  I  will  sanctify 
also  both  Aar'on  and  his  sons, 
to  minister  to  me  in  the  priest's 
office. 

45  And  I  will  dwell  among  the 
children  of  ls/ra-el,  and  will  be 
their  God. 

46  And  they  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord  their  God,  that 
brought  them  forth  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gfpt,  that  I  may 
dwell  among  them:  I  am  the 
Lord  their  God.

it  is  most  holy  unto  the  Lord. 

11  II  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'seg,  saying, 

12  When  thou  takest  the  sum 
of  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el  after 
their  number,  then  shall  they 
give  every  man  a  ransom  for  his 
soul  unto  the  Lord,  when  thou 
numberest  them ;  that  there  be 
no  plague  among  them,  when 
thou  numberest  them. 

13  This- they  shall  give,  every 
one  that  passeth .  among  them 
that  are  numbered,  hajf  a  shek- 
el after  the  shekel  of  the  sanc- 
tuary :  (a  shekel  is  twenty  ge- 
rahs:)  an  half  shekel  shall  be 
the  offering  of  the  Lord. 

14  Every  one  that  passeth 
among  them  that  are  numbered, 
from  twenty  years  old  and 
above,  shall  give  an  offering 
unto  the  Lord. 

15  The  rich  shall  not  give 
more,  and  the  poor  shall  not 
give  less  than  naif  a  shekel, 
when  they  give  an  offering  un- 
to the  Lord,  to  make  an  atone- 
ment for  your  souls. 

16  And  thou  shalt  take  the 
atonement  money  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ig'ra-el,  and  shalt  ap- 
point it  for  the  service  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation ; 
that  it  may  be  a  memorial  unto 
the  children  of  Is/ra-el  before 
the  Lord,  to  make  an  atone- 
ment for  your  souls.. 

17:  IF  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'ses,  saying, 

18  Thou  shalt  also  make  a  la- 
ver of  brass,  and  his  foot  also 
of  brass,  to  wash  withal :  and 
thou  shalt  put  it  between  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation 
and  the  altar,  and  thou  shalt 
put  water  therein. 

19  For  Aar'on  and  his  sons 
shall  wash  their  hands  and  their 
feet  thereat: 

20  When  they  go  into  the  tab- 
ernacle of  'the  congregation, 
they  shall  wash  with  water,  that 
they  die  not ;  or  when  they  come 
near  to  the  altar  to  minister,  to 
burn  offering  made  by  fire  unto 
the  Lord: 

21  So  they  shall  wash  their 
hands  and  their  feet,  that  they 
die  not:  and  it  shall  be  a  statute 
for  ever  to  them,  even  to  him 
and  to  his  seed  throughout  their 
generations. 

22  ^Moreover  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

;  23  Take  thou  also  unto  thee 
principal  spices,  of  pure  myrrh 
five  hundred  shekels*  and  of 
sweet  cinnamon  half  so  much, 
even  two  hundred  and  fifty 
shekels,  and  of  sweet  calamus 


two  hundred  and  fifty  shekels, 

24  And  of  cassia  five  hundred 
shekels,  after  the  shekel  of  the 
sanctuary,  and  of  oil  olive  an 
hin: 

25  And  thou  shalt  make  it  an 
oil  of  holy  ointment,  an  oint- 
ment compound  after  the  art  of 
the  apothecary:  it  shall  be  an 
holy  anointing  oil. 

26  And  thou  shalt  anoint  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation 
therewith,  and  the  ark  of  the 
testimony, 

27  And  the  table  and  all  his 
vessels,  and  the  candlestick  and 
his  vessels,  and  the  altar  of  in- 
cense, 

28  And  the  altar  of  burnt  of- 
fering with  all  his  vessels,  and 
the  laver  and  his  foot 

29  And  thou  shalt  sanctify 
them,  that  they  may  be  most 
holy :  whatsoever  toucheth  them 
shall  be  holy. 

30  And  thou  shalt  anoint 
Aar'on  and  his  sons,  and  con- 
secrate them,  that  they  may 
minister  unto  me  in  the  priest's 
office. 

31  And  thou  shalt  speak  unto 
the  children  of  lg'ra-el,  saying. 
This  shall  be  an  holy  anointing 
oil  unto  me  throughout  your 
generations. 

32  Upon  man's  flesh  shall  it 
not  be  poured,  neither  shall  ye 
make  any  other  like  it,  after 
the  composition  of  it:  it  is 
holy,  ana  it  shall  be  holy  unto 
you. 

33  Whosoever  compoundeth 
any  like  it,  or  Whosoever  put- 
teth  any  of  it  upon  a  stranger, 
shall  even  be  cut  off  from  his 
people. 

34  IT  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo'ses,  Take  unto  thee  sweet 
spices,  stacte,  and  onycha,  and 
galbanum ;  these  sweet  spices 
with  pure  frankincense :  of  each 
shall  there  be  a  like  weight  : 

35  And  thou  shalt  make  it  a 
perfume,  a  confection  after  the 
art  of  the  apothecary,  tempered 
together,  pure  and  holy  i 

36  And  thou  shalt  beat  some 
of  it  very  small,  and  put  of  it 
before  the  testimony  in  the  tab- 
ernacle of  the  congregation, 
where  I  will  meet  with  thee 
it  shall  be. unto  you  most  holy. 

37  And  as  for  the  perfume 
which  thou  shalt  make,  ye  shall 
not  make  to  yourselves  accord- 
ing to  the  composition  thereof : 
it  shall  be  unto  thee  holy  for 
the  Lord. 

38  Whosoever  shall  make  like 
unto  that,  to  smell  thereto,  shall 
even  be  cut  off  from  his  people.

CHAPTER  31 
Bezaleel  and  Ahotiab  are  catted  and 
qualified  for  the  work  of  the  taber- 
nacle.  \2  Of  the  sabbath.   1%  Moses 
receiveth  the  two  tables. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MG'seg,  saying, 

2  See,  I  hare  called  by  name 
B&zaTe-el  the  son  of  U'ri,  the 
son  of  Hut,  of  the  tribe  of  Ju'- 
dah: 

3  And  I  have  filled  him  with 
the  spirit  of  God,  in  wisdom, 
and  in  understanding,  and  in 
knowledge,  and  in  all  manner 
of  workmanship, 

4  To  devise  cunning  works,  to 
work  in  gold,  and  in  silver,  and 
in  brass, 

5  And  in  cutting  of  stones,  to 
set  them,  and  in  carving  of  tim- 
ber, to  work  in  all  manner  of 
workmanship. 

6  And  I,  behold,  I  have  given 
with  him  A-hdli-fib,  the  son  of 
A-his'a-mftch,  of  the  tribe  of 
Dan:  and  in  the  hearts  of  all 
that  are  wise  hearted  I  have 
put  wisdom,  that  they  may 
make  all  that  I  hare  com* 
manded  thee; 

7  The  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation, and  the  ark  of  the 
testimony,  and  the  mercy  seat 
that  is  thereupon,  and  all  the 
furniture  of  the  tabernacle, 

8  And  the  table  and  his  furni- 
ture, and  the  pure  candlestick 
with  all  his  furniture,  and  the 
altar  of  incense, 

9  And  the  altar  of  burnt  offer- 
ing with  all  his  furniture,  and 
the  laver  and  his  foot, 

10  And  the  cloths  of  service, 
and  the  holy  garments  for 
AaYbn  the  priest,  and  the  gar- 
ments of  his  sons,  to  minister 
in  the  priest* s  office, 

11  And  the  anointing  oil,  and 
sweet    incense    for   the   holy 

Slaee:  according  to  all  that  I 
ave   commanded   thee   shall 
they  do. 

12  If  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
M5'§e§,  saying, 

13  Speak  thou  also  unto  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el,  saying,  Ver- 
ily my  sabbaths  ye  shall  keep  : 
for  it  is  a  sign  between  me  and 
you  throughout  your  genera- 
tions ;  that  ye  may  know  that 
low  the  Lord  that  doth  sanc- 
tify you. 

14  Ye  shall  keep  the  sabbath 
therefore;  for  it  is  holy  unto 
yon:  every  one  that  defileth  it 
shall  surely  be  put  to  death 
for  whosoever  doeth  any  work 
therein,  that  soul  shall  be  cut 
off  from  among  his  people. 

15  Six  days'  may  work  be  done ; 
but  in  the  seventh  is  the  sab- 


bath of  rest  holy  to  the  Lord  : 
whosoever  doeth  any  work  in 
the  sabbath  day,  he  shall  surely 
be  put  to  death. 

16  Wherefore  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el  shall  keep  the  sabbath, 
te  observe  the  sabbath  through^ 
out  their  generations, ./or  a  per- 
petual covenant 

17  It  is  a  sign  between  me 
and  the  children  of  Is/ra-el  for 
ever:  for  in  six  days  the  Lord 
made  heaven  and  earth,  and  on 
the  seventh  day  he  rested,  and 
was  refreshed. 

18  tAnd  he  gave  unto  Md'ges, 
when  he  had  made  an  end  of 
communing  with  him  upon 
mount  Si'nfii,  two  tables  of  tes- 
timony, tables  of  stone,  written 
with  the  finger  of  God. 

CHAPTER  32 

The  people  in  Moeee*  absence  cause 
Aaron  to  make  a  calf.  19  Moeee 
breaketh  the  tables.  25  The  idola- 
ters slain.  30  Moeee  prayeth  for 
the  people. 

AND  when  the  people  saw 
that  Mo'ses.  delayed  to 
come  down  out  of  the  mount, 
the  people  gathered  themselves 
together  unto  AaYon,  and  said 
unto  him,  Up,  make  us  gods/ 
which  shall  go  before  us;  for 
as  for  this  Md'§e§,  the  man  that 
brought  us  up  out  of  the  land 
of  Ergjpt  we  wot  not  what  is 
become  of  him. 

2  And  AaVon  said  unto  them, 
Break  off  the  golden  earrings, 
which  are  in  the  ears  of  your 
wives,  of  your  sons,  and  of  your 
daughters,  and  bring  them  unto 
me. 

3  And  all  the  people  brake  off 
the  golden  earrings  which  were 
in  their  ears,  and  Drought  them 
unto  AaVon. 

4  And  he  received  them  at 
their  hand,  and  fashioned  it 
with  a  graving  tool,  after  he 
had  made  it  a  molten  calf:  and 
they  said,  These  be  thy  gods,  O 
Is/ra-el,  whkh  brought  thee  up 
out  of  the  land  of  £?gypt 

5  And  when  AaVon  saw  it,  he 
built  an  altar  before  it;  and 
AaVon  made  proclamation,  and 
said,  To  morrow  is  a  feast  to 
the  Lord. 

6  And  they  rose  up  early  on 
the  morrow,  and  offered  burnt 
offerings,  and  brought  peace 
offerings;  and  the  people  sat 
down  to  eat  and  to  drink,  and 
rose  up  to  play. 

7  IT  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo'ses,  Go,  get  thee  down ;  for 
thy  people,  which  thou  brought 
est  out  of  the  land  of  Cgfpt, 
have  corrupted  themselves  :

8  They  have  turned  aside 
quickly  out  of  the  way  which  I 
commanded  them:  they  have 
made  them  a  molten  calf,  and 
have  worshipped  it,  and  have 
sacrificed  thereunto,  and  said, 
These  be  thy  gods,  0  Is/ra-el, 
which  have  brought  thee  up  out 
of  the  land  of  E^ypt 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md'seg,  I  hare  seen  this  people, 
and,  behold,  it  is  a  stiff  necked 
people: 

10  Now  therefore  let  me  alone, 
that  my  wrath  may  wax  hot 
against  them,  and  that  I  may 
consume  them :  and  I  will  make 
of  thee  a  great  nation. 

11  And  MS'seg  besought  the 
Lord  his  God,  and  said.  Lord, 
why  doth  thy  wrath  wax  hot 
against  thy  people,  which  thou 
hast  brought  forth  out  of  the 
land  of  fi'gfpt  with  great  now- 
er,  and  with  a  mighty  hand? 

12  Wherefore  should  the 
£-gyp'tiana  speak,  and  say, 
For  mischief  did  he  bring 
them  out,  to  slay  them  in  the 
mountains,  and  to  consume 
them  from  the  face  of  the 
earth?  Turn  from  thy  fierce 
wrath,  and  repent  of  this  evil 
against  thy  people. 

13  Remember  Alirt-hfimJ'saac, 
and  Is/ra-el,  thy  servants,  to 
whom  thou  swarest  by  thine 
own  self,  and  saidst  unto  them, 
I  will  multiply  your  seed  as  the 
stars  of  heaven,  and  all  this  land 
that  I  have  spoken  of  will  I  give 
unto  your  seed,  and  they  shall 
inherit  it  for  ever. 

14  And  the  Lord  repented  of 
the  evil  which  he  thought  to 
do  unto  his  people. 

15  IT  And  Md'ses  turned,  and 
went  down  from  the  mount,  and 
the  two  tables  of  the  testimony 
were  in  his  hand:  the  tables 
were  written  on  both  their 
sides;  on  the  one  side  and  on 
the  other  were  they  written. 

16  And  the  tables  were  the 
work  of  God,  and  the  writing 
was  the  writing  of  God,  graven 
upon  the  tables. 

17  And  when  J6sh'u4  heard 
the  noise  of  the  people  as  they 
shouted,  he  said  unto  Md'ses, 
There  is  a  noise  of  war  in  the 
camp. 

18  And  he  said,  It  is  not  the 
voice  of  them  that  shout  for 
mastery,  neither  is  it  the  voice 
of  them  that  cry  for  being  over- 
come: but  the: noise  of  them 
that  sing  do  I  hear. 

19  f  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
soon  as  he  came  nish  unto  the 
camp,  that  he  saw  the  calf,  and 


the  dancing:  and  Md'ges'  anger 
waxed  hot,  and  he  cast  the  ta- 
bles out  of  his  hands,  and  brake 
them  beneath  the  mount. 

20  And  he  took  the  calf  which 
they  had  made,  and  burnt  it  in 
the  fire,  and  ground  it  to  pow- 
der, and  strawed  it  upon  the 
water,  and  made  the  children 
of  Is/ra-el  drink  of  it. 

21  And  Md'ges  said  unto  AaVon, 
What  did  this  people  unto  thee, 
that  thou  hast  brought  so  great 
a  sin  upon  them? 

22  And  ASr'on  said,  Let  not 
the  anger  of  my  lord  wax  hot: 
thou  knowest  the  people,  that 
they  are  set  on  mischief. 

23  For  they  said  unto  me, 
Make  us  gods,  which  shall  go  be- 
fore us:  for  ob  fir  this  Md'ges, 
the  man  that  brought  us  up  out 
of  the  land  of  ffgypt*  we  wot 
not  what  is  become  of  him. 

24  And  I  said  unto  them,  Who- 
soever hath  any  gold,  let  them 
break  it  off.  So  they  gave  it 
me :  then  I  cast  it  into  tne  fire, 
and  there  came  out  this  call 

25  ITAnd  when  MS'ficg  saw  that 
the  people  were  naked;  (for 
AaVon  had  made  them  naked 
unto  their  shame  among  their 
enemies:) 

26  Then  MS'seg  stood  in  the 
gate  of  the  camp,  and  said,  Who 
%8  on  the  Lord  8  side?  let  him 
come  unto  me.  And  all  the 
sons  of  L#vf  gathered  them- 
selves together  unto  him. 

27  And  he  said  unto  them. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
Is/ra-el,  Put  every  man  his 
sword  by  his  side,  and  go  in  and 
out  from  gate  to  gate  through 
out  the  camp,  and  slay  every 
man  his  brother,  and  every  man 
his  companion,  and  every  man 
his  neighbour. 

28  And  the  children  of  L?vf 
did  according  to  the  word  of 
MG'seg:  and  there  fell  of  the 
people  that  day  about  three 
thousand  men. 

29  For  M6'&efi  had  said,  Conse- 
crate yourselves  to  day  to  the 
Lord,  even  every  man  upon  his 
son,  and  upon  his  brother;  that 
he  may  bestow  upon  you  a  bless- 
ing this  day. 

30  IF  And  it  came  to  pass  on 
the  morrow,  that  MS'ses  said 
unto  the  people,  Ye  have  sinned 
a  great  sin :  and  now  I  will  go 
up  unto  the  Lord  ;  peradventure 
I  shall  make  an  atonement  for 
your  sin. 

31  And  Md'ges  returned  unto 
the  Lord,  and  said,  Oh,  this  peo- 
ple have  sinned  a  great  sin,  and 
nave  made  them  gods  of  gold.

32  Yet  now,  if  thou  wilt  for- 
give their  sin — ;  and  if  not,  blot 
me,  I  pray  thee,  out  of  thy  book 
which  thou  hast  written. 

33  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
M5'sea,  Whosoever  hath  sinned 

ainst  me,  him  will  I  blot  out 
ot  my  book. 

34  Therefore  now  go,  lead  the 
people  unto  the  place  of  which 
I  have  spoken  unto  thee:  be- 
hold, mine  Angel  shall  go  be- 
fore thee:  nevertheless  in  the 
day  when  I  visit  I  will  visit  their 
sin  upon  them. 

36  And  the  Lord  plagued  the 
people,  because  they  made  the 
call,  which  AaVon  made. 

CHAPTER  33 

The  Lord  refueeth  to  go  with  the  j> 
pU.  7  The  tabernacle  removed  out 
of  the  camp.  9  He  talketh  with 
Maeee,  18  Moeee  desireth  to  me 
hie  glory. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md'seg,  Depart,  and  go  up 
hence,  thou  and  the  people 
which  thou  hast  brought  up  out 
of  the  land  of  B'fejfpt  unto  the 
land  which  I  sware  unto  A'braV 
ham,  to  Isaac,  and  to  J&'cob, 
saying,  Unto  thy  seed  will  I  give 
it: 

2  And  I  will  send  an  angel  be* 
fore  thee;  and  I  will  drive  out 
the  Ca'nSan-Ite,  the  Am'dr-ite, 
and  the  Hif  tite,  and  the  PeViz- 
rite,  the  ffi'vite,  and  the  JeVu- 
ai  te: 

3  Unto  a  land  flowing  with 
milk  and  honey:  for  I  will  not 
go  up  in  the  midst  of  thee ;  for 
thou  art  a  stiff  necked  people: 
lest  I  consume  thee  in  the  way. 

4  ITAnd  when  the  people  heard 
these  evil  tidinffs,they  mourned : 
and  no  man  did  put  on  him  his 
ornaments. 

5  For  the  Lord  had  said  unto 
Mft'aeg»  Say  unto  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el,  Ye  are  a  stiffnecked 
people :  I  will  come  up  into  the 
midst  of  thee  in  a  moment,  and 
consume  thee:  therefore  now 
put  off  thy  ornaments  from  thee, 
that  I  may  know  what  to  do  unto 
thee. 

6  And  the  children  of  lg'ra-el 
stripped  themselves  of  their  or- 
naments by  the  mount  HO'reb. 

7  And  Md'se*  took  the  taber- 
nacle, and  pitched  it  without  the 
camp,  afar  off  from  the  camp, 
and  called  it  the  Tabernacle  of 
the  congregation.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  that  every  one  which 
sought  the  Lord  went  out  unto 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, which  was  without,  the 


An< 


8  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 


MO'ses  went  out  unto  the  tab- 
ernacle, that  all  the  people  rose 
up,  and  stood  every  man  at  his 
tent  door,  and  looked  after  Mo'- 
seg,  until  he  was  gone  into  the 
tabernacle. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  Mouses 
entered  into  the  tabernacle,  the 
cloudy  pillar  descended,  and 
stood  at  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle, and  the  Lord  talked  with 
Mo'sea. 

10  And  all  the  people  saw  the 
cloudy  pillar  stand  at  the  taber- 
nacle door:  and  all  the  people 
rose  up  and  worshipped,  every 
man  in  his  tent  door. 

11  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'sea  face  to  face,  as  a  man 
speaketh  unto  his  friend.  And 
he  turned  again  into  the  camp : 
but  his  servant  J5sh'u-a,  the  son 
of  Nun,  a  young  man,  departed 
not  out  of  the  tabernacle. 

12  HAnd  Mo^ea  said  unto  the 
Lord,  See,  thou  sayest  unto  me, 
Bring  up  this  people:  and  thou 
hast  not  let  me  know  whom 
thou  wilt  send  with  me.  Yet 
thou  hast  said,  I  know  thee  by 
name,  and  thou  hast  also  found 
grace  in  my  sight 

13  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
if  I  have  [found  grace  in  thy 
sight,  shew  me  now  thy  way, 
that  I  may  know  thee,  that  I 
may  find  grace  in  thy  sight : 
and  consider  that  this  nation  is 
thy  people. 

14  And  he  said,  My  presence 
shall  go  with  theef  and  I  will 
give  thee  rest 

15  And  he  said  unto  him,  If 
thy  presence  go  not  with  me, 
carry  us  not  up  hence. 

16  For  wherein  shall  it  be 
known  here  that  I  and  thy  peo- 
ple have  found  grace  in  thy 
sight?  is  it  not  in  that  thou 
goest  with  us?  so  shall  we  be 
separated,  I  and  thy  people,  from 
all  the  people  that  are  upon  the 
face  of  the  earth. 

17  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md'gea,  I  will  do  this  thing  also 
that  thou  hast  spoken :  for  thou 
hast  found  grace  in  my  sight 
and  I  know  thee  by  name. 

18  And  he  said,  I  beseech  thee, 
shew  me  thy  glory. 

19  And  he  said,  I  will  make  all 
my  goodness  pass  before  thee, 
and  T  will  proclaim  the  name  of 
the  Lord  before  thee ;  and  will 
be  gracious  to  whom  I  will  be 
gracious,  and  will  shew  mercy 
on  whom  I  will  shew  mercy. 

20  And  he  said,  Thou  canst  not 
see  my  face :  for  there  shall  no 
man  see  me,  and  live.

Hie  tables  are  renewed.  5  The  name 
Of  the  LORD  proclaimed.  29  Hoses' 
Jaceskineth. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  M6 
sea,  Hew  thee  two  tables  of 
stone  like  unto  the  first:  and  I 
will  write  upon  these  tables  the 
words  that  were  in  the  first 
tables,  which  thou  brakest 

2  And  be  ready  in  the  morn- 
ing, and  come  up  in  the  morn- 
ing unto  mount  Si'nai,  and  pre- 
sent thyself  there  to  me  in  the 
top  of  the  mount 

3  And  no  man  shall  come  up 
with  thee*  neither  let  any  man 
be  seen  throughout  all  the 
mount ;  ■  neither  let  the  flocks 
nor  herds  feed  before  that 
mount 

4  ITAnd  he  hewed  two  tables 
of  stone  like  unto  the  first ;  and 
Mo'seg  rose  up  early  in  the 
morning,  and  went  up  unto 
mount  Si'nai,  as  the  Lord  had 
commanded  him,  and  took  in  his 
hand  the  two  tables  of  stone. 

5  And  the  Lord  descended  in 
the  cloud,  and  stood  with  him 
there,  and  proclaimed  the  name 
of  the  Lord. 

6  And  the  Lord  passed  by  be- 
fore him,  and  proclaimed,  The 
Lord,  The  Lord  God,  merciful 
and  gracious,  longsuffering,  and 
abundant  in  goodness  and  truth, 

7  Keeping  mercy  for  thou- 
sands, forgiving  iniquity  and 
transgression  and  sin,  and  that 
will  by  no  means  clear  the 
guilty;  visiting  the  inwuity  of 
the  fathers  upon  the  children, 
and  upon  the  children's  chil- 
dren, unto  the  third  and  to  the 
fourth  generation. 

8  And  Md'ses.  made  haste,  and 
bowed  his  head  toward  the 
earth,  and  worshipped. 

9  And  he  said.  If  now  I  have 
found  grace  in  thy  sight  0 
Lord,  let  my  Lord,  I  pray  thee, 
go  among  us;  for  it  is  a  stiff- 
necked  people ;  and  pardon  our 
iniquity  and  our  sin,  and  take 
us  for  thine  inheritance.

make  a  covenant:  before  all 
thy  people  I  will  do  marvels,

12  Take  heed  to  thyself,  lest 
thou  make  a  covenant  with  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land  whither 
thou  goest,  lest  it  be  for  a  snare 
in  the  midst  of  thee: 

13  But  ye  shall  destroy  their 
altars,  break  their  images,  and 
cut  down  their  groves : 

14  For  thou  shalt  worship  no 
other  god :  for  the  Lord,  whose 
name  is  Jealous,  is  a  jealous 
God: 

15  Lest  thou  make  a  covenant 
with  the  inhabitants  of  the  land, 
and  they  go  a  whoring  after 
their  gods,  and  do  sacrifice  un- 
to their  gods,  and  one  call  thee, 
and  thou  eat  of  his  sacrifice ; 

16  And  thou  take  of  their 
daughters  unto  thy  sons,  and 
their  daughters  go  a  whoring 
after  their  gods,  and  make  thy 
sons  go  a  whoring  after  their 
gods.

molten  gods.

man  desire  thy  land,  when  thou 
shalt  go  up  to  appear  before  the 
Lord  thy  God  thrice  in  the  year. 

25  Thou  shalt  not  offer  the 
blood  of  my  sacrifice*  with  leav-

of  the  feast  of  the  passover  be 
left  unto  the  morning.

27  And  the  Lord  said  unto  M5'- 
geg,  Write  thou  these  words :  for 
after  the  tenor  of  these  words  I 
have  made  a  covenant  with  thee 
and  with  Ig'ra-el. 

28  And  he  was  there  with  the 
Lord  forty  days  and  forty 
nights;  he  did  neither  eat 
bread,  nor  drink  water.  And 
he  wrote  upon  the  tables  the 
words  of  the  covenant,  the  ten 
commandments. 

29  HAnd  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Mo'geg  came  down  from  mount 
Si'nai  with  the  two  tables  of 
testimony  in  Mo'geg'  hand,  when 
he  came  down  from  the  mount, 
that  Mo'seg  wist  not  that  the 
skin  of  his  face  shone  while  he 
talked  with  him. 

30  And  when  Afirtm  and  all 
the  children  of  Ig'ra-el  saw  Mo'- 
aeg, behold,  the  skin  of  his  face 
shone ;  and  they  were  afraid  to 
come  nigh  him. 

31  And  MO'seg  called  unto 
them;  and  A&r'on  and  all  the 
rulers  of.  the  congregation  re- 
turned unto  him:  and  Md'geg 
talked  with  them. 

32  And  afterward  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Ig'ra-el  came  nigh :  and 
he  gave  them  in  commandment 
all  that  the  Lord  had  spoken 
with  him  in  mount  Si'nai. 

33  And  till  Md'geg  had  done 
speaking  with  them,  he  put  a 
vail  on  his  face. 

34  But  when  Md'geg  went  in 
before  the  Lord  to  speak  with 
him,  he  took'  the  vail  off,  until 
he  came  out  And  he  came  out, 
and  spake  unto  the  children  of 
Ig'ra-el  that  which  he  was  com- 
manded; 

35  And  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el 
saw  the  face  of  Md'geg,  that  the 
skin  of  Mo'geg'  face  shone :  and 
iiogeg.put  the  vail  upon,  his 
face  again,  until  he  went  in  to 
speak  with  him.

\  ND  Mo'geg  gathered  all  the 
rx  congregation  of  the  chil- 


dren of  Ig'ra-el  together,  and 
said  unto  them,  These  are  the 
words  which  the  Lord  hath 
commanded,  that  ye  should  do 
them. 

2  Six  days  shall  work  be  done, 
but  on  the  seventh  day  there 
shall  be  to  you  an  holy  day,  a 
sabbath  of  rest  to  the  Lord: 
whosoever  doeth  work  therein 
shall  be  put  to  death. 

3  Ye  shall  kindle  no  fire 
throughout  your  habitations 
upon  the  sabbath  day. 

4  HAnd  Mo'geg  spake  unto  all 
the  congregation  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ig'ra-el,  saying,  This  is

priest,  and  the  garments  of  his 
sons,  to  minister  in  the  priest's 
office. 

20  HAnd  all  the  congregation 
of  the  children  of  Is/ra-el  de- 
parted from  the  presence  of 
MO'ses. 

21  And  they  came,  every  one 
whose  heart  stirred  him  up,  and 
every  one  whom  his  spirit  made 
willing,  and  they  brought  the 
Lord's  offering  to  the  work  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, and  for  all  his  service,  and 
for  the  holy  garments. 

22  And  they  came,  both  men 
and  women,  as  many  as  were 
willing  hearted,  ana  brought 
bracelets,  and  earrings,  and 
rings,  and  tablets,  all  jewels  of 
gold:  and  every  man  that  offered 
offered  an  offering  of  gold  unto 
the  Lord. 

23  And  every  man,  with  whom 
was  found  blue,  and  purple,  and 
scarlet,  and  fine  linen,  and  goats' 
hair,  and  red  skins  of  rams,  and 
badgers'  skins,  brought  them 

24  Every  one  that  did  offer 
an  offering  of  silver  and  brass 
brought  the  Lord's  offering :  and 
every  man,  with  whom  was 
found  shittim  wood  for  any  work 
of  the  service,  brought  it 

25  And  all  the  women  that 
were  wise  hearted  did  spin  with 
their  hands,  and  brought  that 
which  they  had  spun,  both  of 
blue,  and  of  purple,  and  of  scar- 
let, and  of  fine  linen. 

26  And  all  the  women  whose 
heart  stirred  them  up  in  wisdom 
spun  goats'  hair. 

27  And  the  rulers  brought  onyx 
stones,  and  stones  to  be  set,  for 
the  ephod,  and  for  the  breast- 
plate; 

28  And  spice,  and  oil  for  the 
light,  and  for  the  anointing  oil, 
and  for  the  sweet  incense. 

29  The  children  of  Is/ra-el 
brought  a  willing  offering;  unto 
the  Lord,  every  man  and  wom- 
an, whose  heart  made  them  will- 
ing to  bring  for  all  manner  of 
work,  which  the  Lord  had  com- 
manded to  be  made  by  the  hand 
of  MO'ses. 

30  IFAnd  MO'ses  said  unto  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el,  See,  the  Lord 
hath  called  by  name  BeVsaTe-el 
the  son  of  tJ'ri,  the  son  of  Hfir, 
of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah; 

31  And  he  hath  filled  him  with 
the  spirit  of  God,  in  wisdom,  in 
understanding,  and  in  knowl- 
edge, and  in  all  manner  of  work- 
manship ; 

32  And  to  devise  curious  works, 

94 


and  in  brass, 

33  And  in  the  cutting  of  stones, 
to  set  them,  and  in  carving  of 
wood,  to  make  any  manner  of 
cunning  work. 

34  And  he  hath  put  in  his  heart 
that  he  may  teach,  both  he,  and 
A-hOlUb,  the  son  of  A-mYa» 
mach,  of  the  tribe  of  Dfin. 

35  Them  hath  he  filled  with 
wisdom  of  heart,  to  work  all 
manner  of  work,  of  the  en- 
graver, and  of  the  cunning  work- 
man, and  of  the  embroiderer,  in 
blue,  and  in  purple,  in  scarlet, 
and  in  fine  linen,  and  of  the 
weaver,  even  of  them  that  do 
any  work,  and  of  those  that  de- 
vise cunning  work.

put  wisdom  and  understanding 
to  know  how  to  work  all  manner 
of  work  for  the  service  of  the 
sanctuary,  according  to  all  that 
the  Lord  had  commanded. 

2  And  MO'seg  called  Bfc*al'e-el 
and  A-hOli-fib,  and  every  wise 
hearted  man,  in  whose  heart 
the  Lord  had  put  wisdom,  even 
every  one  whose  heart  stirred 
him  up  to  come  unto  the  work 
to  do  it: 

3  And  they  received  of  MO'ses. 
all  the  offering,  which  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-eThad  brought  for 
the  work  of  the  service  of  the 
sanctuary,  to  make  it  withal. 
And  they  brought  yet  unto  him 
free  offerings  every  morning. 

4  ITAnd  all  the  wise  men,  that 
wrought  all  the  work  of  the 
sanctuary,  came  every  man  from 
his  work  which  they  made; 

5  And  they  spake  unto  MO'ses, 
aying,  The  people  bring  much 

more  than  enough  for  the  serv- 
ice of  the  work,  which  the  Lord 
commanded  to  make. 

6  And  MO'ses  gave  command- 
ment, and  they  caused  it  to  be 
proclaimed  throughoutthe  camp, 
saying,  Let  neither  man  nor 
woman  make  any  more  work  for 
the  offering  of  the  sanctuary. 
So  the  people  were  restrained 
from  bringing. 

7  For  the  stuff  they  had  was 
sufficient  for  all  the  work  to 
make  it,  and  too  much. 

8  11  And  every  wise  hearted 
man  among  them  that  wrought 
the  work  of  the  tabernacle  made

and  blue,  and  purple,  and  scar- 
let: with  chenibims  of  cunning 
work  made  he  them. 

9  The  length  of  one  curtain 
was  twenty  and  eight  cubits, 
and  the  breadth  of  one  curtain 
four  cubits:  the  curtains  were 
all  of  one  size. 

10  And  he  coupled  the  five 
curtains  one  unto  another:  and 
the  other  five  curtains'  he 
coupled  one  unto  another. 

11  And  he  made  loops  of  blue 
on  the  edge  of  one  curtain  from 
the  selvedge  in  the  coupling: 
likewise  he  made  in  the  utter- 
most side  of  another  curtain, 
in  the  coupling  of  the  second. 

12  Fifty  loops  made  he  in  one 
curtain,  and  fifty  loops  made  he 
in  the  edge  of  the  curtain  which 
was  in  the  coupling  of  the 
second:  the  loops  neld  one  cur- 
tain to  another. 

13  And  he  made  fifty  taches 
of  gold,  and  coupled  the  cur- 
tains one  unto  another  with  the 
taches :  so  it  became  one  taber- 
nacle. 

14  HAnd  he  made  curtains  of 
goats'  hair  for  the  tent  over 
the  tabernacle :  eleven  curtains 
he  made  them. 

15  The  length  of  one  curtain 
was  thirty  cubits,  and  four  cu- 
bits was  the  breadth  of  one 
curtain:  the  eleven  curtains 
were  of  one  size. 

16  And  he  coupled  five  cur- 
tains by  themselves,  and  six 
curtains  by  themselves. 

17  And  he  made  fifty  loops  up- 
on the  uttermost  edge  of  the  cur- 
tain in  the  coupling,  and  fifty 
loops  made  he  upon  the  edge  of 
the  curtain  which  coupleth  the 
second. 

18  And  he  made  fifty  taches 
of  brass  to  couple  the  tent  to- 
gether, that  it  might  be  one. 

19  IFAnd  he  made  a  covering 
for  the  tent  of  rams'  skins  dyed 
red,  and  a  covering  of  badgers' 
skins  above  that. 

20  1FAnd  he  made  boards  for 
the  tabernacle  o/shittim  wood, 
standing  up. 

21  The  length  of  a  board  was 
ten  cubits,  and  the  breadth  of  a 
board  one  cubit  and  a  half. 

22  One  board  had  two  tenons, 
equally  distant  one  from  an- 
other: thus  did  he  make  for  all 
the  boards  of  the  tabernacle. 

23  And  he  made  boards  for  the 
tabernacle;  twenty  boards  for 
the  south  side  southward : 

24  And  forty  sockets  of  silver 
he  made  under  the  twenty 
boards;  two  sockets  under  one 
board  for  his  two  tenons,  and 

95 


two    sockets    under    another 
board  for  his  two  tenons. 

25  And  for  the  other  side  of 
the  tabernacle,  which  is  toward 
the  north  corner,  he  made 
twenty  boards, 

26  And  their  forty  sockets  of 
silver;  two  sockets  under  one 
board,  and  two  sockets  under 
another  board. 

27  And  for  the  sides  of  the 
tabernacle  westward  he  made 
six  boards. 

28  And  two  boards  made  he 
for  the  corners  of  the  taber- 
nacle in  the  two  sides. 

29  And  they  were  coupled  be- 
neath, and  coupled  together  at 
the  head  thereof,  to  one  ring 
thus  he  did  to  both  of  them  In 
both  the  corners. 

30  And  there  were  eight 
boards ;  and  their  sockets  were 
sixteen  sockets  of  silver,  under 
every  board  two  sockets. 

31  IF  And  he  made  bars  of 
shittim  wood;  five  for  the 
boards  of  the  one  side  of  the 
tabernacle, 

32  And  five  bars  for  the  boards 
of  the  other  side  of  the  taber- 
nacle, and  five  bars  for  the 
boards  of  the  tabernacle  for  the 
sides  westward. 

33  And  he  made  the  middle 
bar  to  shoot  through  the  boards 
from  the  one  end  to  the  other. 

34  And  he  overlaid  the  boards 
with  gold,  and  made  their  rings 
of  sold  to  be  places  for  the  bars, 
and  overlaid  the  bars  with  gold. 

35  11  And  he  made  a  van  of 
blue,  and  purple,  and  scarlet, 
and  fine  twined  linen:  with 
chenibims  made  he  it  of  cun- 
ning work. 

36  And  he  made  thereunto 
four  pillars  o/shittim  wood,  and 
overlaid  them  with  gold :  their 
hooks  were  of  'gold ;  and  he  cast 
for  them  four  sockets  of  silver. 

37  ITAnd  he  made  an  hanging 
for  the  tabernacle  door  o/blue, 
and  purple,  and  scarlet,  and  fine 
twined  linen,  of  needlework ; 

38  And  the  five  pillars  of  it 
with  their  hooks:  and  he  over- 
laid their  chapiters  and  their 
fillets  with  gold :  but  their  five 
sockets  were  of  brass.

2  And  he  overlaid  it  with  pare 
gold  within  and  without,  and 
made  a  crown  of  gold  to  it  round 
about 

3  And  he  cast  for  it  four  rings 
of  gold,  to  be  set  by  the  four 
corners  of  it;  even  two  rings 
upon  the  one  side  of  it,  and  two 
nngs  upon  the  other  side  of  it 

4  And  he  made  staves  of

with  gold. 

5  And  he  put  the  staves  into

ark,  to  bear  the  ark. 

6  HAnd  he  made  the  mercy 
seat  o/pure  gold:  two. cubits 
and  a  half  was  the  length  there- 
of, and  one  cubit  and  a  half  the 
breadth  thereof . 

7  And  he  made  two  cherubims 
o/gold,  beaten  out  of  one  piece

of  the  mercy  seat; 

8  One  cherub  on  the  end  on 
this  side,  and  another  cherub  on 
the  other  end  on  that  side:  out

9  And  the  cherubims  spread 
out  their  wings  on  high,  and 
covered  with  their  wings  over

the  four  feet  thereof. 

14  Over  against  the  border 
were  the  rings,  the  places  for 
the  staves  to  hear  the  table. 

15  And  he  made  the  staves  of 
shittim  wood,  and  overlaid  them 
with  gold,  to  bear  the  table. 

16  And  he  made  the  vessels 
which  were  upon  the  table,  his 
dishes,  and  his  spoons,  and  his 
bowls,  and  his  covers  to  cover 
withal,  o/pure  gold. 

17  f  And  he  made  the  candle- 
stick o/pure  gold:  of  beaten 
work  made  he  the  candlestick ; 
his  shaft,  and  his  branch,  his 
bowls,  his  knops,  and  his  flow- 
ers, were  of  the  same:    . 


18  And  six  branches  going  out 
of  the  sides  thereof;  three 
branches  of  the  candlestick  out 
of  the  one  side  thereof*  and 
three  branches  of  the  candle- 
stick out  of  the  other  side  there- 
of: 

19  Three  bowls  made  after  the 
fashion  of  almonds .  in  one 
branch,  a  knop  and  a  flower; 
and  three  bowls  made  like  al- 
monds in  another  branch,a  knop 
and  a  flower :  so  throughout  the 
six  branches  going  out  of  the 
candlestick. 

20  And  in  the  candlestick 
were  four  bowls  made  like,  al- 
monds, his  knops,  and  his  flow- 
ers: 

21  And  a  knop  under  .  two 
branches  of  the  same,  and  a 
knop  under  two  branches  of  the 
same,  and  a  knop  under  two 
branches  of  the  same,  according 
to  the  six  branches  going  out 
of  it 

22  Their  knops  and  their 
branches  were  of  the  same:  all 
of  it  was  one  beaten  work  of 
pure  gold. 

23  And  he  made  his  seven 
lamps,  and  his  snuffers,  and  his 
snuff  dishes,  o/pure  gold. 

24  Of  a  talent  of  pure  gold 
made  he  it,  and  all  the  vessels 
thereof. 

25  IFAnd  he  made  the  incense 
altar  of  shittim  wood:  the 
length  of  it  was  a  cubit,  and  the 
breadth  of  it  a  cubit;  it  was 
foursquare ;  and  two  cubits  was 
the  height  of  it;  the  horns 
thereof  were  of  the  same.  . 

26  And  he  overlaid  it  with  pure 
gold,  both  the  top  of  it,  and  the 
sides  thereof  round  about,  and 
the  horns  of  it:  also  he  made 
unto  it  a  crown  of  gold  round 
about 

27  And  he  made  two  rings  of 
gold  for  it  under  the  crown 
thereof,  by  the  two  corners  of 
it,  upon  the  two  sides  thereof, 
to  be  places  for  the  staves  to 
bear  it  withal 

28  And  he  made  the  staves  of 
shittim  wood,  and  overlaid  them 
with  gold.  I 

29  f  And  he  made  the  holy 
anointing  oil,  and  the  pure  in- 
cense of  sweet  spices,  according 
to  the  work  of  the  apothecary,

2  And  he  made  the  horns 
thereof  on  the  four  corners  of 
it;  the  horns  thereof  were  of 
the  same:  and  he  overlaid  it 
with  brass. 

3  And  he  made  all  the  vessels 
of  the  altar,  the  pots,  and  the 
shovels,  and  the  basons,  and 
the  fleshhooks,  and  the  firepans: 
all  the  vessels  thereof  made  he 
of  brass. 

4  And  he  made  for  the  altar  a 
brasen  grate  of  network  under 
the  compass  thereof  beneath 
unto  the  midst  of  it 

5  And  he  cast  four  rings  for 
the  four  ends  of  the  grate  of 
brass,  to  be  places  for  the  staves. 

6  And  he  made  the  staves  of 
shittim  wood,  and  overlaid  them 
with  brass. 

7  And  he  put  the  staves  into 
the  rings  on  the  sides  of  the 
altar,  to  bear  it  withal;  he 
made  the.  altar  hollow  with 
boards. 

8  HAnd  he  made  the  laver  of 
brass,  and  the  foot  of  it  o/brass, 
of  the  lookingglasses  of  the 
women  assembling,  which  as- 
sembled at  the  door  of  the  tab- 
ernacle of  the  congregation. 

9  f And  he  made  the  court :  on 
the  south  side  southward  the 
hangings  of  the  court  were  of 
fine  twined  linen,  an  hundred 
cubits: 

10  Their  pillars  were  twenty, 
and  their  brasen  sockets  twenty ;

twenty,  and  their  sockets  of 
brass  twenty;  the  hooks  of  the 
pillars  and  their  fillets  o/ silver. 

12  And  for  the  west  side  were 
hangings  of  fifty  cubits,  their 
pillars  ten,  and  their  sockets 
ten;  the  hooks  of  the  pillars 
and  their  fillets  of  silver. 

13  And  for  the  east  side  east*

14  The  hangings  of  the  one

15  And  for  the  other  side  of 
the  court  gate,  on  this  hand  and 
that  hand,  were  hangings  of 
fifteen  cubits;  their  pillars 
three,  and  their  sockets  three. 

16  All  the  hangings  of  the

97 


of  silver;  and  the  overlaying  of 
their  chapiters  of  silver;  and 
all  the  pillars  of  the  court  were 
filleted  with  silver. 

18  And  the  hanging  for  the 
gate  of  the  court  was  needle- 
work, o/blue,  and  purple,  and 
scarlet,  and  fine  twined  linen 
and  twenty  cubits  was  the 
length,  and  the  height  in  the 
breadth  was  five  cubits,  answer-

round  about,  were  o/brass. 

21  IfThis  is  the  sum  of  the 
tabernacle,  even  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  testimony,  as  it  was 
counted,  according  to  the  com- 
mandment of  Mft'seg,  for  the 
service  of  the  LS'vites,  by  the 
hand  of  lth'a-mar,  son  to  AaYon 
the  priest. 

22  And  B*«al'e-el  the  son  of 
U'ri,  the  son  of  Hur,  of  the 
tribe  of  Jfi'dah,  made  all  that 
the  Lord  commanded  MS'seg. 

23  And  with  him  was  A-hdli 
ab,  son  of  A-his'a-mach,  of  the 
tribe  of  Dan,  an  engraver,  and 
a  cunning  workman,  and  an

24  All  the  gold  that  was  occu- 
pied for  the  work  in  all  the 
work  of  the  holy  place*  even

twenty  and  nine  talents,  and 
seven  hundred  and  thirty  shek-

The  datha  of  service  and  holy  gar- 
ment*. 2  The  ephod.  8  The  breast- 
plate. 22  The  robe  of  the  ephod.  27 
The  coats,  mitre,  etc.  32  All  viewed 
and  approved  by  Mow. 

AND  of  the  blue,  and  purple, 
and  scarlet,  they  made 
cloths  of  service,  to  do  service 
in  the  holy  place,  and  made 
the  holy  garments  for  Aar'on ; 
as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'seg. 

2  And  he  made  the  ephod  of 
gold,  blue,  and  purple,  and  scar- 
let, and  fine  twined  linen. 

3  And  they  did  beat  the  gold 
into  thin  plates,  and  cut  it  into 
wires,  to  work  it  in  the  blue, 
and  in  the  purple,  and  in  the 
scarlet,  and  in  the  fine  linen, 
with  cunning  work. 

4  They  made  shoulderpieces 
for  it,  to  couple  it  together :  by 
the  two  edges  was  it  coupled 
together. 

5  And  the  curious  girdle  of  his 
ephod,  that  was  upon  it,  woe  of 
the  same,  according  to  the  work 
thereof;  o/gold,  blue,  and  pur- 
ple, and  scarlet,  and  fine  twined 

inen ;  as  the  Lord  commanded 
Me'ses. 

6  f  And  they  wrought  onyx 
stones  inclosed  in  ouches  of 
gold,  graven,  as  signets  are 
graven,  with  the  names  of  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el. 

7  And  he  put  them  on  the 
shoulders  of  the  ephod,  that 
they  should  be  stones  for  a 
memorial  to  the  children  of  Ig'- 
ra-el ;  as  the  Lord  commanded 
Md'feg. 

&  if  And  he  made  the  breast- 
plate of  cunning  work,  like  the 
work  of  the  ephod;  of  gold, 
blue,  and  purple,  and  scarlet, 
and  fine  twined  linen. 

9  It  was  foursquare;  they 
made  the  breastplate  double: 
a  span  was  the  length  thereof, 
and  a  span  the  breadth  thereof, 
being  doubled. 


10  And  they  set  in  it  four  rows 
of  stones:  the  first  row  was  a 
sardius,  a  topaz,  and  a  carbun 
cle :  this  was  the  first  row. 

11  And  the  second  row,  an 
emerald,  a  sapphire,  and  a  dia- 
mond. 

12  And  the  third  row,  a  ligure, 
an  agate,  and  an  amethyst 

13  And  the  fourth  row,  a  beryl, 
an  onyx,  and  a  jasper:  they 
were  inclosed  in  ouches  of  gold 
in  their  inclosings. 

14  And  the  stones  were  ac- 
cording to  the  names  of  the 
children  of  Ig'ra-el,  twelve,  ac 
cording  to  their  names,  like  the 
engravings  of  a  signet,  every 
one  with  his  name,  according 
to  the  twelve  tribes. 

15  And  they  made  upon  the 
breastplate  chains  at  the  ends, 
o/ wreath  en  work  of  pure  gold. 

16  And  they  made  two  ouches 
o/gold,  and  two  gold  rings;  and 
put  the  two  rings  in  the  two 
ends  of  the  breastplate. 

17  And  they  put  the  two 
wreathen  chains  of  gold  in  the 
two  rings  on  the  ends  of  the 
breastplate. 

18  And  the  two  ends  of  the 
two  wreathen  chains  they  fast- 
ened in  the  two  ouches,  and  put 
them  on  the  shoulderpieces  of 
the  ephod,  before  it 

19  And  they  made  two  rings  of 
gold,  and  put  them  on  the  two 
ends  of  the  breastplate,  upon 
the  border  of  it,  which  was  on 
the  side  of  the  ephod  inward. 

20  And  they  made  two  other 
golden  rings,  and  put  them  on 
the  two  sides  of  the  ephod  un- 
derneath, toward  the  forepart 
of  it,  over  against  the  other 
coupling    thereof,    above    the 

iinous  girdle  of  the  ephod. 

21  And  they  did  bind  the 
breastplate  by  his  rings  unto 
the  rings  of  the  ephod  with  a 
lace  of  blue,  that  it  might  be 
above  the  curious  girdle  of  the 
ephod,  and  that  the  breastplate 
might  not  be  loosed  from  the 

3 mod ;  as  the  Lord  commanded 
8'seg. 

22  ITAnd  he  made  the  robe  of 
the  ephod  of  woven  work,  all 
of  blue. 

23  And  there  was  an  hole  in 
the  midst  of  the  robe,  as  the 
hole  of  an  habergeon,  with  a 
band  round  about  the  hole,  that 
it  should  not  rend. 

24  And  they  made  upon  the 
hems  of  the  robe  pomegranates 
of  blue,  and  purple,  and  scar- 
let, and  twined  linen. 

25  And  they  made  bells  of 
pure  gold,  and  put  the  bells  be~

29  And  a  girdle  o/fine  twined 
linen,  and  blue,  and  purple,  and 
scarlet,  of  needlework ;  as  the 
Lord  commanded  Md'aeg. 

30  HAnd  they  made  the  plate 
of  the  holy  crown  of  pure  gold, 
and  wrote  upon  it  a  writing, 
like  to  the  engravings  of  a  sig- 
net, HOLINESS  TO  THE  LORD. 

31  And  they  tied  unto  it  a  lace 
of  blue,  to  fasten  it  on  high  up- 
on the  mitre ;  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Md'seg. 

32  Thus  was  all  the  work  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  tent  of  the 
congregation  finished:  and  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el  did  according 
to  all  that  the  Lord  commanded 
Md'gea,  so  did  they. 

33  1  And  they  brought  the  tab- 
ernacle unto  Md'seg,  the  tent, 
and  all  his  furniture,  his  taches, 
his  boards,  his  bars,  and  his  pil- 
lars, and  his  sockets, 

34  And  the  covering  of  rams' 
skins  dyed  red,  and  the  covering 
of  badgers'  skins,  and  the  vail  of 
the  covering, 

35  The  ark  of  the  testimony, 
and  the  staves  thereof,  and  the 
mercy  seat, 

36  The  table,  and  all  the  ves- 
sels thereof,  and  the  shewbread, 

37  The  pure  candlestick,  with 
the  lamps  thereof,  even  with 
the  lamps  to  be  set  in  order,  and 
all  the  vessels  thereof,  and  the 
oil  for  light, 

38  And  the  golden  altar,  and 
the  anointing  oil,  and  the  sweet 
incense,  and  the  hanging  for  the 
tabernacle  door, 

39  The  brasen  altar,  and  his 
grate  of  brass,  his  staves,  and 
all  his  vessels,  the  laver  and  his 
foot, 

40  The  hangings  of  the  court, 
his  pillars,  and  his  sockets,  and 
the  nanging  for  the  court  gate, 
his  cords,  and  his  pins,  and  all 
the  vessels  of  the  service  of  the 
tabernacle,  for  the  tent  of  the 
congregation, 

41  The  cloths  of  service  to  do 
service  in  the  holy  place,  and 
the  holy  garments  for  Aar'on 


the  priest,  and  his  sons'  gar- 
ments, to  minister  in  the  priest's 
office. 

42  According  to  all  that  the 
Lord  commanded  Mo'seg,  so  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el  made  all  the 
work. 

43  And  Mo'ses  did  look  upon 
all  the  work,  and,  behold,  they 
had  done  it  as  the  Lord  had 
commanded,  even  so  had  they 
done  it:  and  Mo'ges  blessed 
them. 

CHAPTER  40 

The  tabernacle  is  commanded  to  be 
reared  and  anointed.  12  Aaron 
and  his  eons  to  be  sanctified.  34  A 
cloud  covereth  the  tabernacle, 

AND  theLoRD  spake  unto  Mo'- 
sea,  saying, 

2  On  the  first  day  of  the  first 
month  shalt  thou  set  up  the  tab- 
ernacle of  the  tent  of  the  con- 
gregation. 

3  And  thou  shalt  put  therein 
the  ark  of  the  testimony,  and 
cover  the  ark  with  the  vail. 

4  And  thou  shalt  bring  in  the 
table,  and  set  in  order  the  things 
that  are  to  be  set  in  order  upon 
it ;  and  thou  shalt  bring  in  the 
candlestick,  and  light  the  lamps 
thereof. 

5  And  thou  shalt  set  the  altar 
of  gold  for  the  incense  before 
the  ark  of  the  testimony,  and 
put  the  hanging  of  the  door  to 
the  tabernacle. 

6  And  thou  shalt  set  the  altar 
of  the  burnt  offering  before  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
tent  of  the  congregation. 

7  And  thou  shalt  set  the  laver 
between  the  tent  of  the  con- 
gregation and  the  altar,  and 
shalt  put  water  therein. 

8  And  thou  shalt  set  up  the 
court  round  about,  and  hang  up 
the  hanging  at  the  court  gate. 

9  And  thou  shalt  take  the 
anointing  oil,  and  anoint  the 
tabernacle,  and  all  that  is  there- 
in, and  shalt  hallow  it,  and  all 
the  vessels  thereof :  and  it  shall 
be  holy. 

10  And  thou  shalt  anoint  the 
altar  of  the  burnt  offering,  and 
all  his  vessels,  and  sanctify  the 
altar:  and  it  shall  be  an  altar 
most  holy. 

11  And  thou  shalt  anoint  the 
laver  and  his  foot,  and  sanctify  it. 

12  And  thou  shalt  bring  Aar'- 
on and  his  sons  unto  the  door  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, and  wash  them  with  water. 

13  And  thou  shalt  put  upon 
Aar'on  the  holy  garments,  and 
anoint  him,  and  sanctify  him; 
that  he  may  minister  unto  me 
in  the  priest's  office.

14  And  thou  shalt  bring  his 
sons,  and  clothe  them  with 
coats: 

15  And  thou  shalt  anoint  them, 
as  thou  didst  anoint  their  father, 
that  they  may  minister  unto  me 
in  the  priest5  s  office :  for  their 
anointing  shall  surely  be  an 
everlasting  priesthood  through- 
out their  generations. 

16  Thus  did  Mo'seg:  according 
to  all  that  the  Lord  commanded 
him,  so  did  he. 

17  HAnd  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
first  month  in  the  second  year, 
on  the  first  day  of  the  month, 
that  the  tabernacle  was  reared 

18  And  MS'ges.  reared  up  the 
tabernacle,  and  fastened  his 
sockets,  and  set  up  the  boards 
thereof,  and  put  in  the  bars 
thereof,  and  reared  up  his  pillars. 

19  And  he  spread  abroad  the 
tent  over  the  tabernacle,  and  put 
the  covering  of  the  tent  above 
upon  it ;  as  the  Lord  command 
edMo'sea. 

20  If  And  he  took  and' put  the 
testimony  into  the  ark,  and  set 
the  staves  on  the  ark,  and  put 
the  mercy  seat  above  upon  the 
ark: 

21  And  he  brought  the  ark  into 
the  tabernacle,  and  set  up  the 
vail  of  the  covering,  and  cov- 
ered the  ark  of  the  testimony ; 
as  the  Lord  commanded  Md'seg. 

22  HAnd  he  put  the  table  in 
the  tent  of  the  congregation, 
upon  the  side  of  the  tabernacle 
northward,  without  the  vail. 

23  And  he  set  the  bread  in 
order  upon  it  before  the  Lord; 
as  the  Lord  had  commanded 
MS'sea, 

24  H  And  he  put  the  candle- 
stick in  the  tent  of  the  congre- 
gation, over  against  the  table, 
on  the  side  of  the  tabernacle 
southward. 

25  And  he  lighted  the  lamps 
before  the  Lord;  as  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo'seg. 

26  IT  And  he  put  the  golden 


altar  in  the  tent  of  the  congre- 
gation before  the  vail: 

27  And  he  burnt  sweet  incense 
thereon ;  as  the  Lord  command- 
ed Mo'seg. 

28  HAnd  he  set  up  the  hang- 
ing at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle. 

29  And  he  put  the  altar  of 
burnt  offering  by  the  door  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  tent  of 
the  congregation,  and  offered 

rn  it  the  burnt  offering  and 
meat  offering;  as  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo'seg. 

30  f  And  he  set  the  laver  be- 
tween the  tent  of  the  congrega- 
tion and  the  altar,  and  put  water 
there,  to  wash  withal. 

31  And  M5'ges  and  Afir'on  and 
his  sons  washed  their  hands  and 
their  feet  thereat : 

32  When  they  went  into  the 
tent  of  the  congregation,  and 
when  they  came  near  unto  the 
altar,  they  washed ;  as  the  Lord 
commanded  Md'ges. 

33  And  he  reared  up  the  court 
round  about  the  tabernacle  and 
the  altar,  and  set  up  the  hang- 
ing of  the  court  gate.  SoMd'aes 
finished  the  work. 

34  IFThen  a  cloud  covered  the 
tent  of  the  congregation,  and 
the  glory  of  the  Lord  filled  the 
tabernacle. 

35  And  Mo'ses.  was  not  able  to 
enter  into  the  tent  of  the  con- 
gregation, because  the  cloud 
abode  thereon,  and  the  glory  of 
the  Lord  filled  the  tabernacle. 

36  And  when  the  cloud  was 
taken  up  from  over  the  taber- 
nacle, the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
went  onward  in  all  their  jour- 
neys: 

37  But  if  the  cloud  were  not 
taken  up,  then  they  journeyed 
not  till  the  day  that  it  was  taken 

38  For  the  cloud  of  the  Lord 
was  upon  the  tabernacle  by  day, 
and  fire  was  on  it  by  night,  in 
the  sight  of  all  the  house  of 
Is/ra-el,  throughout  all  their 
journeys.

AND  the  Lord  called  unto 
M5'sea,  and  spake  unto  him 
out  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 


Ig'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them,  If 
any  man  of  you  bring  an  offer- 
ing unto  the  Lord,  ye  shall

offer  a  male  without  blemish: 
he  shall  offer  it  of  his  own  vol 
untary  will  at  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation 
before  the  Lord. 

4  And  he  shall  put  his  hand 
upon  the  head  of  the  burnt  of- 
fering; and  it  shall  be  accepted 
for  him  to  make  atonement  for 
him. 

5  And  he  shall  kill  the  bul- 
lock before  the  Lord:  and  the 
priests,  AaVon's  sons,  shall 
bring  the  blood,  and  sprinkle 
the  blood  round  about  upon  the 
altar  that  is  by  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

6  And  he  shall  flay  the  burnt 
offering,  and  cut  it  into  his 
pieces. 

7  And  the  sons  of  AaYon  the 
priest  shall  put  fire  upon  the 
altar,  and  lay  the  wood  m  order 
upon  the  fire : 

8  And  the  priests,  A&r'on's 
sons,  shall  lay  the  parts,  the 
head,  and  the  fat,  in  order  upon 
the  wood  that  is  on  the  fire 
which  is  upon  the  altar : 

9  But  his  inwards  and  his  legs 
shall  he  wash  in  water :  and  the 
priest  shall  burn  all  on  the  altar, 
to  be  &  burnt  sacrifice,  an  offer- 
ing made  by  fire,  of  a  sweet 
savour  unto  the  Lord. 

10  IF  And  if  his  offering  be  of 
the  flocks,  namely,  of  the  sheep, 
or  of  the  goats,  for  a  burnt  sac- 
rifice ;  he  shall  bring  it  a  male 
without  blemish. 

11  And  he  shall  kill  it  on  the 
side  of  the  altar  northward  be- 
fore the  Lord  :  and  the  priests, 
AAVon's  sons,  shall  sprinkle  his 
blood  round  about  upon  the 
altar. 

12  And  he  shall  cut  it  into  his 

S'eces,  with  his  head  and  his 
it:  and  the  priest  shall  lay 
them  in  order  on  the  wood  that 
is  on  the  fire  which  is  upon  the 
altar: 

13  But  he  shall  wash  the  in- 
wards and  the  legs  with  water : 
and  the  priest  shall  bring  it  all, 
and  burn  it  upon  the  altar :  it 
is  a  burnt  sacrifice,  an  offering 
made  by  fire,  of  a  sweet  savour 
unto  the  Lord. 

14  ITAnd  if  the  burnt  sacrifice 
for  his  offering  to  the  Lord  be 
of  fowls,  then  he  shall  bring 
his  offering  of  turtledoves,  or  of 
young  pigeons. 

15  And  the  priest  shall  bring 
it  unto  the  altar,  and  wring  off 
his  head,  and  burn  it  on  the 
altar;  and  the  blood  thereof 
shall  be  wrung  out  at  the  side 
of  the  altar : 

16  And  he  shall  pluck  away 

101 


his  crop  with  his  feathers,  and 
cast  it  beside  the  altar  on  the  east 
part,  by  the  place  of  the  ashes : 
17  And  he  shall  cleave  it  with 
the  wings  thereof,  but  shall  not 
divide  it  asunder :  and  the  priest 
shall  burn  it  upon  the  altar,  up- 
on the  wood  that  is  upon  the 
fire:  it  is  a  burnt  sacrifice,  an 
offering  made  by  fire,  of  a  sweet 
savour  unto  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  2 

The  meat  offering  of  flour,  with  oil 
and  incense.  12  The  oblation  of 
firetfruita  not  to  be  burnt  13  The 
salt  of  the  meat  offering. 

AND  when  any  will  offer  a 
meat  offering  unto  the 
Lord,  his  offering  shall  be  of 
fine  flour;  and  he  shall  pour  oil 
upon  it,  and  put  frankincense 
thereon : 

2  And  he  shall  bring  it  to 
AarWs  sons  the  priests:  and 
he  shall  take  thereout  his  hand- 
ful of  the  flour  thereof,  and  of 
the  oil  thereof,  with  all  the 
frankincense  thereof;  and  the 
priest  shall  burn  the  memorial 
of  it  upon  the  altar,  to  be  an  of- 
fering made  by  fire,  of  a  sweet 
savour  unto  the  Lord  : 

3  And  the  remnant  of  the 
meat  offering  shall  be  AfirWs 
and  his  sons':  it  is  a  thing  most 
holy  of  the  offerings  of  the 
Lord  made  by  fire. 

4  HAnd  if  thou  bring  an  ob- 
lation of  a  meat  offering  baken 
in  the  oven,  it  shall  be  unleav- 
ened cakes  of  fine  flour  mingled 
with  oil,  or  unleavened  wafers 
anointed  with  oil. 

5  ITAnd  if  thy  oblation  be  a 
meat  offering  baken  in  a  pan,  it 
shall  be  o/fine  flour  unleavened, 
mingled  with  oil. 

6  Thou  shalt  part  it  in  pieces, 
and  pour  oil  thereon:  it  is  a 
meat  offering. 

7  IF  And  if  thy  oblation  be  a 
meat  offering  baken  in  the  fry- 
ingpan,  it  shall  be  made  o/fine 
flour  with  oil. 

8  And  thou  shalt  bring  the 
meat  offering  that  is  made  of 
these  things  unto  the  Lord: 
and  when  it  is  presented  unto 
the  priest,  he  shall  bring  it  unto 
the  altar. 

9  And  the  priest  shall  take 
from  the  meat  offering  a  me- 
morial thereof,  and  shall  burn 
it  upon  the  altar :  it  is  an  offer- 
ing made  by  fire,  of  a  sweet 
savour  unto  the  Lord. 

10  And  that  which  is  left  of 
the  meat  offering  shall  be  Mr'- 
on's  and  his  sons':  it  is  a  thing 
most  holy  of  the  offerings  of 
the  Lord  made  by  fire.

11  No  meat  offering,  which  ye 
shall  bring  unto  the  Lord,  shall 
be  made  with  leaven:  for  ye 
shall  burn  no  leaven,  nor  any 
honey,  in  any  offering  of  the 
Lord  made  by  fire. 

12  IT  As  for  the  oblation  of  the 
firstfruits,  ye  shall  offer  them 
unto  the  Lord:  but  they  shall 
not  be  burnt  on  the  altar  for  a 
sweet  savour. 

13  And  every  oblation  of  thy 
meat  offering  shalt  thou  season 
with  salt;  neither  shalt  thou 
suffer  the  salt  of  the  covenant 
of  thy  God  to  be  lacking  from 
thy  meat  offering:  with  all 
thine  offerings  thou  shalt  offer 
salt 

14  And  if  thou  offer  a  meat 
offering  of  thy  firstfruits  unto 
the  Lord,  thou  shalt  offer  for 
the  meat  offering  of  thy  first- 
fruits  green  ears  of  corn  dried 
by  the  fire,  even  corn  beaten 
out  of  full  ears. 

15  And  thou  shalt  put  oil  up- 
on it,  and  lay  frankincense 
thereon :  it  is  a  meat  offering. 

16  And  the  priest  shall  burn 
the  memorial  of  it,  part  of  the 
beaten  corn  thereof,  and  part 
of  the  oil  thereof,  with  all  the 
frankincense  thereof:  it  is  an 
offering  made  by  fire  unto  the 
Lord.

AND  if  his  oblation  be  a  sac- 
rifice of  peace  offering,  if

2  And  he  shall  lav  his  hand 
upon  the  head  of  his  offering,

5  And  Alton's  sons  shall  burn

sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord. 

6  HAnd  if  his  offering  for  a 


sacrifice  of  peace  offering  unto

and  the  fat  that  covereth  the 
inwards,  and  all  the  fat  that 
is  upon  the  inwards, 

10  And  the  two  kidneys,  and

11  And  the  priest  shall  burn

of  the  offering  made  by  fire  un- 
to the  Lord. 

12  f  And  if  his  offering  be  a 
goat  then  he  shall  offer  it  be-

Aaron  shall  sprinkle  the  blood 
thereof  upon  the  altar  round

14  And  he  shall  offer  thereof 
his  offering,  even  an  offering 
made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord  ;  the

them  upon  the  altar:  it  is  the 
food  of  the  offering  made  by 
fire  for  a  sweet  savour:  all  the 
fat  is  the  Lord's. 

17  It  shall  be  a  perpetual 
statute  for  your  generations 
throughout  all  your  dwellings, 
that  ye  eat  neither  fat  nor

sin  through  ignorance  against 
any  of  the  commandments  of 
the  Lord  concerning  things 
which  ought  not  to  he  done, 
and  shall  do  against  any  of 
them: 

3  If  the  priest  that  is  anointed 
do  sin  according  to  the  sin  of 
the  people;  then  let  him  bring 
for  his  sin,  which  he  hath 
sinned,  a  young  bullock  with- 
out blemish  unto  the  Lord  for 
a  sin  offering. 

4  And  he  shall  bring  the  bul- 
lock unto  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation  before 
the  Lord  ;  and  shall  lay  his  hand 
upon  the  bullock's  head,  and  kill 
the  bullock  before  the  Lord. 

5  And  the  priest  that  is 
anointed  shall  take  of  the  bul- 
lock's blood,  and  bring  it  to  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation : 

6  And  the  priest  shall  dip  his 
finger  in  the  blood,  and  sprinkle 
of  the  blood  seven  times  before 
the  Lord,  before  the  vail  of  the 
sanctuary. 

7  And  the  priest  shall  put  some 
of  the  blood  upon  the  norns  of 
the  altar  of  sweetjincense  before 
the  Lord,  which  is  in  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation ;  and 
shall  pour  all  the  blood  of  the 
bullock  at  the  bottom  of  the  al- 
tar of  the  burnt  offering,  which 
is  at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation. 

8  And  he  shall  take  off  from 
it  all  the  fat  of  the  bullock  for 
the  sin  offering;  the  fat  that 
covereth  the  inwards,  and  all 
the  fat  that  is  upon  the  inwards, 

9  And  the  two  kidneys,  and  the 
fat  that  is  upon  them,  which  is 
bv  the  flanks,  and  the  caul  above 
the  liver,  with  the  kidneys,  it 
shall  he  take  away, 

10  As  it  was  taken  off  from 
the  bullock  of  the  sacrifice  of 
peace  offerings :  and  the  priest 
shall  burn  them  upon  the  altar 
of  the  burnt  offering. 

11  And  the  skin  of  the  bullock, 
and  all  his  flesh,  with  his  head, 
and  with  his  legs,  and  his  in- 
wards, and  his  dung, 

12  Even  the  whole  bullock 
shall  he  carry  forth  without  the 
camp  unto  a  clean  place,  where 
the  ashes  are  poured  out,  and 
burn  him  on  the  wood  with  fire 
where  the  ashes  are  poured  out 
shall  he  be  burnt 

13  f  And  if  the  whole  congre- 
gation of  Is/ra-el  sin  through 
ignorance,  and  the  thing  be  hid 
from  the  eyes  of  the  assembly, 
and  they  have  done  somewhat 
against  any  of  the  command- 
ments of  the  Lord  concerning 

103 


things  which  should  not  be 
done,  and  are  guilty ; 

14  When  the  sin,  which  they 
have  sinned  against  it,  is  known, 
then  the  congregation  shall  offer 
a  young  bullock  for  the  sin,  and 
bring  him  before  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation. 

15  And  the  elders  of  the  con- 
gregation shall  lay  their  hands 
upon  the  head  of  the  bullock 
before  the  Lord  :  and  the  bul- 
lock shall  be  killed  before  the 
Lord. 

16  And  the  priest  that  is 
anointed  shall  bring  of  the  bul- 
lock's blood  to  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation : 

17  And  the  priest  shall  dip  his 
finger  in  some  of  the  blood,  and 
sprinkle  it  seven  times  before 
the  Lord,  even  before  the  vail. 

18  And  he  shall  put  some  of 
the  blood  upon  the  horns  of  the 
altar  which  is  before  the  Lord, 
that  is  in  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  and  shall  pour  out 
all  the  blood  at  the  bottom  of 
the  altar  of  the  burnt  offering, 
which  is  at  the  door  of  the  tab- 
ernacle of  the  congregation, 

19  And  he  shall  take  all  his  fat 
from  him,  and  burn  it  upon  the 
altar. 

20  And  he  shall  do  with  the 
bullock  as  he  did  with  the  bul- 
lock for  a  sin  offering,  so  shall 
he  do  with  this:  and  the  priest 
shall  make  an  atonement  for 
them,  and  it  shall  be  forgiven 
them. 

21  And  he  shall  carry  forth  the 
bullock  without  the  camp,  and 
burn  him  as  he  burned  the  first 
bullock :  it  is  a  sin  offering  for 
the  congregation. 

22  When  a  ruler  hath  sinned, 
and  done  somewhat  through 
ignorance  against  any  of  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord  his 
God  concerning  things  which 
should  not  be  done,  and  is 
guilty; 

23  Or  if  his  sin,  wherein  he 
hath  sinned*  come  to  his  know!

a  fid  of  the  goats,  a  male  with-

24  And  he  shall  lay  his  hand 
upon  the  head  of  the  goat,  and 
kill  it  in  the  place  where  they 
kill  the  burnt  offering  before  the 
Lord  :  it  is  a  sin  offering. 

25  And  the  priest  shall  take  of 
the  blood  of  the  sin  offering  with 
his  finger,  and  put  it  upon  the 
horns  of  the  altar  of  burnt  offer- 
ing, and  shall  pour  out  his  blood

is  a  witness,  whether  he  hath 
seen  or  known  of  it;  if  he  do 
not  utter  it,  then  he  shall  bear

2  Or  if  a  soul  touch  any  un-

case of  an  unclean  beast,  or  a 
carcase  of  unclean  cattle,  or  the 
carcase  of  unclean  creeping 
things,  and  if  it  be  hidden  from 
him ;  he  also  shall  be  unclean, 
and  guilty. 

3  Or  if  he  touch  the  unclean- 
ness  of  man,  whatsoever  un- 
cleanness  it  be  that  a  man  shall 
be  defiled  withal,  and  it  be  hid

shall  be  guilty  in  one  of  these. 

5  And  it  shall  be,  when  he  shall 
be  guilty  in  one  of  these  things, 
that  he  shall  confess  that  he 
hath  sinned  in  that  thina  : 

6  And  he  shall  bring  his  tres-

or  a  kid  of  the  goats,  for  a  sin 
offering;  and  the  priest  shall 
make  an  atonement  for  him 
concerning  his  sin. 

7  And  if  he  be  not  able  to 
bring  a  lamb,  then  he  shall 
bring  for  his  trespass,  which  he 
hath  committed,  two  turtle- 
doves, or  two  young  pigeons,

offering,  and  the  other  for 
burnt  offering. 

8  And  he  shall  bring  them  un-

that  which  is  for  the  sin  offer-

from  his  neck,  but  shall  not  di-

9  And  he  shall  sprinkle  of  the 
blood  of  the  sin  offering  upon 
the  side  of  the  altar;  and  the 
rest  of  the  blood  shall  be  wrung

ther shall  he  put  any  frankin- 
cense thereon:  for  it  is  a  sin 
offering. 

12  Then  shall  he  bring  it  to  the 
priest,  and  the  priest  shall  take 
his  handful  of  it,  even  a  memo- 
rial thereof,  and  burn  it  on  the 
altar,  according  to  the  offerings 
made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord  :  it 
is  a  sin  offering. 

13  And  the  priest  shall  make 
an  atonement  for  him  as  touch- 
ing his  sin  that  he  hath  sinned 
in  one  of  these,  and  it  shall  be 
forgiven  him :  and  the  remnant 
shall  be  the  priest's,  as  a  meat 
offering. 

14  f  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MO'seSj  saying, 

15  If  a  soul  commit  a  trespass, 
and  sin  through  ignorance,  in 
the  holy  things  of  the  Lord; 
then  he  shall  bring  for  his  tres- 
pass unto  the  Lord  a  ram  with- 
out blemish  out  of  the  flocks, 
with  thy  estimation  by  shekels 
of  silver,  after  the  shekel  of  the 
sanctuary,  for  a  trespass  offer- 
ing: 

16  And  he  shall  make  amends 
for  the  harm  that  he  hath  done 
in  the  holy  thing,  and  shall  add 
the  fifth  part  thereto,  and  give 
it  unto  the  priest :  and  the  priest 
shall  make  an  atonement  for 
him  with  the  ram  of  the  trespass 
offering,  and  it  shall  be  forgiven 
him. 

17  IT  And  if  a  soul  sin,  and  com- 
mit any  of  these  things  which 
are  forbidden  to  be  done  by  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord; 
though  he  wist  it  not,  yet  is  he 
guilty,  and  shall  bear  his  iniq- 
uity. 

18  And  he  shall  brine  a  ram 
without  blemish  out  of  the  flock, 
with  thy  estimation,  for  a  tres- 
pass offering,  unto  the  priest 
and  the  pnest  shall  make  an 
atonement  for  him  concerning 
his  ignorance  wherein  he  erred 
and  wist  it  not,  and  it  shall  be 
forgiven  him. 

19  It  is  a  trespass  offering :  he 
hath  certainly  trespassed  against 
the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  6

or  in  fellowship,  or  in  a  thing 
taken  away  by  violence,  or  hath 
deceived  his  neighbour; 

3  Or  have  found  that  which 
was  lost,  and  lieth  concerning 
it,  and  sweareth  falsely ;  in  any 
of  all  these  that  a  man  doeth, 
sinning  therein: 

4  Then  it  shall  be,  because  he 
hath  sinned,  and  is  guilty,  that 
he  shall  restore  that  which  he 
took  violently  away,  or  the  thing 
which  he  hath  deceitfully  got- 
ten, or  that  which  was  delivered 
him  to  keep,  or  the  lost  thing 
which  he  found, 

5  Or  all  that  about  which  he 
hath  sworn  falsely;  he  shall 
even  restore  it  in  the  principal, 
and  shall  add  the  fifth  part  more 
thereto,  and  give  it  unto  him  to 
whom  it  appertaineth,  in  the  day 
of  his  trespass  offering. 

6  And  he  shall  bring  his  tres- 
pass offering  unto  the  Lord,  a 
ram  without  blemish  out  of  the 
flock,  with  thy  estimation,  for 
a  trespass  offering,  unto  the 
priest: 

7  And  the  priest  shall  make  an 
atonement  for  him  before  the 
Lord  :  and  it  shall  be  forgiven 
him  for  any  thing  of  all  that  he 
hath  done  in  trespassing  therein. 

8  %  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
M5'gea,  saying, 

9  Command  Aifon  and  his 
sons,  saying,  This  is  the  law  of 
the  burnt  offering:  It  is  the 
burnt  offering,  because  of  the 
burning  upon  the  altar  all  night 
unto  the  morning,  and  the  fire  of 
the  altar  shall  be  burning  in  it 

10  And  the  priest  shall  put  on 
his  linen  garment,  and  his  linen 
breeches  shall  he  put  upon  his 
flesh,  and  take  up  the  ashes 
which  the  fire  hath  consumed 
with  the  burnt  offering  on  the 
altar,  and  he  shall  put  them  be- 
side the  altar. 

11  And  he  shall  put  off  his  gar- 
ments, and  put  on  other  gar. 
ments,  and  carry  forth  the  ashes 
without  the  camp  unto  a  clean 
place. 

12  And  the  fire  upon  the  altar 
shall  be  burning  in  it ;  it  shall 
not  be  put  out:  and  the  priest 
shall  burn  wood  on  it

meat  offering,  and  of  the  oil 
thereof,  and  all  the  frankin 
cense  which  is  upon  the  meat

16  And  the  remainder  thereof

with  unleavened  bread  shall  it 
be  eaten  in  the  holy  place ;  in 
the  court  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation  they  shall  eat 
it 

17  It  shall  not  he  baken  with 
leaven.  I  have  given  it  unto 
them  for  their  portion  of  my 
offerings  made  by  fire;  it  w 
most  holy,  as  is  the  sin  offer- 
ing, and  as  the  trespass  offering. 

18  All  the  males  among  the 
children  of  AAr'on  shall  eat  of 
it.  •  It  shall  be  a  statute  for 
ever  in  your  generations  con- 
cerning the  offerings  of  the 
Lord  made  by  fire :  every  one 
that  toucheth  them  shall  be 
holy. 

19  t  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'seg,  saving, 

20  This  %s  the  offering  of  AaV- 
on  and  of  his  sons,  which  they 
shall  offer  unto  the  Lord  in  the 
day  when  he  is  anointed;  the 
tenth  part  of  an  ephah  of  fine 
flour  for  a  meat  offering  per- 
petual, half  of  it  in  the  morn- 
ing, and  half  thereof  at  night 

21  In  a  pan  it  shall  be  made 
with  oil ;  and  when  it  is  baken, 
thou  shalt  bring  it  in :  and  the 
baken  pieces  of  the  meat  offer- 
ing shalt  thou  otter  for  a  sweet 
savour  unto  the  Lord. 

22  And  the  priest  of  his  sons 
that  is  anointed  in  his  stead 
shall  offer  it :  it  is  a  statute  for 
ever  unto  the  Lord  ;  it  shall  be 
wholly  burnt 

23  For  every  meat  offering  for 
the  priest  shall  be  wholly  burnt : 
it  shall  not  be  eaten. 

24  t  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'sea,  saying, 

25  Speak  unto  Aar'on  and  to 
his  sons,  saying,  This  is  the  law 
of  the  sin  offering :  In  the  place 
where  the  burnt  offering  is 
killed  shall  the  sin  offering  be 
killed  before  the  Lord:  it  is 
most  holy. 

26  The  priest  that  offereth  it 
for  sin  shall  eat  it :  in  the  holy 
place  shall  it  be  eaten,  in  the 
court  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation. 

27  Whatsoever  shall  touch  the 
flesh  thereof  shall  be  holy :  and 
when  there  is  sprinkled  of  the 

106 


blood  thereof  upon  any  gar- 
ment, thou  shalt  wash  that 
whereon  it  was  sprinkled  in  the 
holy  place. 

28  But  the  earthen  vessel 
wherein  it  is  sodden  shall  be 
broken :  and  if  it  be  sodden  in 
a  brasen  pot,  it  shall  be  both 
scoured,  and  rinsed  in  water. 

29  All  the  males  among  the 
priests  shall  eat  thereof:  it  is 
most  holy. 

30  And  no  sin  offering,  where- 
of any  of  the  blood  is  brought 
into  the  tabernacle  of  the  con 
gregation  to  reconcile  withal 
in  the  holy  place,  shall  be  eaten 
it  shall  be  burnt  in  the  fire. 


CHAPTER  7 

The  law  of  the  trespass  offering,  11 
and  qf  the  peace  offering*.  22  The 
fat  and  the  blood  are  forbidden.  28 
The  priests'  portion. 

LIKEWISE  this  is  the  law  of 
the  trespass  offering :  it  is 
most  holy. 

2  In  the  place  where  they  kill 
the  burnt  offering  shall  they  kill 
the  trespass  offering:  and  the 
blood  thereof  shall  he  sprinkle 
round  about  upon  the  altar. 

3  And  he  shall  offer  of  it  all  the 
fat  thereof ;  the  rump,  and  the 
fat  that  covereth  the  inwards, 

4  And  the  two  kidneys,  and 
the  fat  that  is  on  them,  which 
is  by  the  flanks,  and  the  caul 
that  is  above  the  liver,  with  the 
kidneys,  it  shall  he  take  away : 

5  And  the  priest  shall  burn 
them  upon  the  altar  for  an  of 
fering  made  by  fire  unto  the 
Lord  :  it  is  a  trespass  offering. 

6  Every  male  among  the 
priests  shall  eat  thereof:  it 
shall  be  eaten  in  the  holy 
place:  it  is  most  holy. 

7  As  the  sin  offering  is,  so  is 
the  trespass  offering:  there  is 
one  law  for  them:  the  priest 
that  maketh  atonement  there- 
with shall  have  it. 

8  And  the  priest  that  offereth 
any  man's  burnt  offering,  even 
the  priest  shall  have  to  himself 
the  skin  of  the  burnt  offering 
which  he  hath  offered. 

9  And  all  the  meat  offering 
that  is  baken  in  the  oven,  and 
all  that  is  dressed  in  the  frying- 
pan,  and  in  the  pan,  shall  be  the 
priest's  that  offereth  it 

10  And  every  meat  offering, 
mingled  with  oil,  and  dry,  shall 
all  the  sons  of  Aar'on  have,  one 
as  much  as  another. 

11  IT  And  this  is  the  law  of 
the  sacrifice  of  peace  offerings, 
which  he  shall  offer  unto  the 
Lord.

the  sacrifice  of  thanksgiving 
unleavened  cakes  mingled  with 
oil,  and  unleavened  wafers 
anointed  with  oil,  and  cakes 
mingled  with  oil,  of  fine  flour,

offer  for  his  offering  leavened 
bread  with  the  sacrifice  of 
thanksgiving  of  his  peace  of- 
ferings. 

14  And  of  it  he  shall  offer  one 
out  of  the  whole  oblation  for  an 
heave  offering  unto  the  Lord, 
and  it  shall  be  the  priest's  that 
sprinkleth  the  blood  of  the 
peace  offerings, 

15  And  the  flesh  of  the  sacri- 
fice of  his  peace  offerings  for 
thanksgiving  shall  be  eaten  the 
same  day  that  it  is  offered ;  he 
shall  not  leave  any  of  it  until 
the  morning. 

16  But  if  the  sacrifice  of  his 
offering  be  a  vow,  or  a  volun- 
tary offering,  it  shall  be  eaten 
the  same  day  that  he  offereth 
his  sacrifice:  and  on  the  mor- 
row also  the  remainder  of  it 
shall  be  eaten: 

17  But  the  remainder  of  the 
flesh  of  the  sacrifice  on  the 
third  day  shall  be  burnt  with 
fire. 

18  And  if  any  of  the  flesh  of 
the  sacrifice  of  his  peace  offer- 
ings be  eaten  at  all  on  the  third 
day,  it  shall  not  be  accepted, 
neither  shall  it  be  imputed  un- 
to him  that  offereth  it :  it  shall 
be  an  abomination,  and  the  soul 
that  eateth  of  it  shall  bear  his 
iniquity. 

19  And  the  flesh  that  toucheth 
any  unclean  thing  shall  not  be 
eaten;  it  shall  be  burnt  with 
fire:  and  as  for  the  flesh,  all 
that  be  clean  shall  eat  thereof. 

20  But  the  soul  that  eateth  of 
the  flesh  of  the  sacrifice  of 
peace  offerings,  that  pertain 
unto  the  Lord,  having  his  un- 
deanness upon  him,  even  that 
soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  his 
people. 

21  Moreover  the  soul  that  shall 
touch  any  unclean  thing,  as 
the  uncleanness  of  man,  or  any 
unclean  beast,  or  any  abomina- 
ble unclean  thing,  and  eat  of 
the  flesh  of  the  sacrifice  of 
peace  offerings,  which  pertain 
unto  the  Lord,  even  that  soul 
shall  be  cut  off  from  his  people. 

22  f  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'ges,  saying, 

23  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el,  saying,  Ye  shall  eat  no 
manner  of  fat,  of  ox,  or  of 
sheep,  or  of  goat 


24  And  the  fat  of  the  beast 
that  dieth  of  itself,  and  the  fat 
of  that  which  is  torn  with 
beasts,  may  be  used  in  any 
other  use:  but  ye  shall  in  no 
wise  eat  of  it 

25  For  whosoever  eateth  the 
fat  of  the  beast  of  which  men 
offer  an  offering  made  by  fire 
unto  the  Lord,  even  the  soul 
that  eateth  it  shall  be  cut  off 
from  his  people. 

26  Moreover  ye  shall  eat  no 
manner  of  blood,  whether  it  be 
of  fowl  or  of  beast  in  any  of 
your  dwellings. 

27  Whatsoever  soul  it  be  that 
eateth  any  manner  of  blood, 
even  that  soul  shall  be  cut  off 
from  his  people. 

28  f  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'seg,  saying, 

29  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
la'ra-eX  saying,  He  that  offereth 
the  sacrifice  of  his  peace  offer- 
ings unto  the  Lord  shall  bring 
his  oblation  unto  the  Lord  of 
the  sacrifice  of  his  peace  offer- 
ings. 

30  His  own  hands  shall  bring 
the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made 
by  fire,  the  fat  with  the  breast, 
it  shall  he  bring,  that  the  breast 
may  be  waved  for  a  wave  offer- 
ing before  the  Lord. 

31  And  the  priest  shall  burn 
the  fat  upon  the  altar :  but  the 
breast  shall  be  Aar'on's  and  his 
sons'. 

32  And  the  right  shoulder 
shall  ye  give  unto  the  priest 
for  an  heave  offering  of  the 
sacrifices  of  your  peace  offer- 
ings. 

33  He  among  the  sons  of  AaY- 
on,  that  offereth  the  blood  of 
the  peace  offerings,  and  the  fat 
shall  have  the  right  shoulder 
for  his  part 

34  For  the  wave  breast  and 
the  heave  shoulder  have  I  taken 
of  the  children  of  Is/ra-el  from 
off  the  sacrifices  of  their  peace 
offerings,  and  have  given  them 
unto  Aar'on  the  priest  and  unto 
his  sons  by  a  statute  for  ever 
from  among  the  children  of  Is/- 
ra-el. 

35  IThis  is  the  portion  of  the 
anointing  of  Aaron,  and  of  the 
anointing  of  his  sons,  out  of  the 
offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by 
fire,  in  the  day  when  he  pre- 
sented them  to  minister  unto 
the  Lord  in  the  priest's  office; 

36  Which  the  Lord  com- 
manded to  be  given  them  of  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el,  in  the  day 
that  he  anointed  them,  by  a 
statute  for  ever  throughout 
their  generations.

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'ges.  saying, 

2  Take  Mr'on  and  his  sons 
with  him,  and  the  garments,  and 
the  anointing  oil,  and  a  bullock 
for  the  sin  offering,  and  two 
rams,  and  a  basket  of  unleav- 
ened bread ; 

3  And  gather  thou  all  the  con 

Sregation   together   unto    the 
oor  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation. 

4  And  Md'ges.  did  as  the  Lord 
commanded  him;  and  the  as- 
sembly was  gathered  together 
unto  the  door  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation. 

5  And  M5  geg  said  unto  the  con- 
gregation, This  is  the  thing 
which  the  Lord  commanded  to 
be  done. 

6  And  Md'ges  brought  Afir'on 
and  his  sons,  and  washed  them 
with  water. 

7  And  he  put  upon  him  the 
coat,  and  girded  him  with  the 
girdle,  and  clothed  him  with  the 
robe,  and  put  the  ephod  upon 
him,  and  he  girded  him  with 
the  curious  girdle  of  the  ephod, 
and  bound  xt  unto  him  there- 
with. 

8  And  he  put  the  breastplate 
upon  him:  also  he  put  in  the 
breastplate  the  O'rim  and  the 
Thum'mim. 

9  And  he  put  the  mitre  upon 
his  head;  also  upon  the  mitre, 
even  upon  his  forefront,  did  he 
put  the  golden  plate,  the  holy 
crown ;  as  the  Lord  commanded 
Md'geg. 

10  And  Md'geg  took  the  anoint- 
ing oil,  and  anointed  the  taber- 
nacle and  all  that  was  there- 
in, and  sanctified  them. 

11  And  he  sprinkled  thereof 
upon  the  altar  seven  times,  and 
anointed  the  altar  and  all  his 
vessels,  both  the  laver  and  his 
foot,  to  sanctify  them. 

12  And  he  poured  of  the 
anointing    oil    upon    Aaron's 


head,   and   anointed   him,   to 
sanctify  him. 

13  And  Md'geg  brought  AaY- 
on's  sons,  and  put  coats  upon 
them,  and  girded  them  with 
girdles,  and  put  bonnets  upon 
them;  as  the  Lord  commanded 
Md'geg. 

14  f  And  he  brought  the  bul- 
lock for  the  sin  offering:  and 
Adr'on  and  his  sons  laid  their 
hands  upon  the  head  of  the  bul 
lock  for  the  sin  offering. 

15  And  he  slew  it ;  and  Md'geg 
took  the  blood,  and  put  it  upon 
the  horns  of  the  altar  round 
about  with  his  finger,  and  purl 
tied  the  altar,  and  poured  the 
blood  at  the  bottom  of  the  altar, 
and  sanctified  it,  to  make  recon- 
ciliation upon  it 

16  And  he  took  all  the  fat  that 
was  upon  the  inwards,  and  the 
caul  above  the  liver,  and  the 
two  kidneys,  and  their  fat,  and 
Md'geg  burned  it  upon  the  altar. 

17  But  the  bullock,  and  his 
hide,  his  flesh,  and  his  dung, 
he  burnt  with  fire  without  the 
camp ;  as  the  Lord  commanded 
Md'geg. 

18  ITAnd  he  brought  the  ram 
for  the  burnt  offering :  and  AaV- 
on  and  his  sons  laid  their  hands 
upon  the  head  of  the  ram. 

19  And  he  killed  it ;  and  Md'- 
geg sprinkled  the  blood  upon  the 
altar  round  about 

20  And  he  cut  the  ram  into 

Eieces;  and  Md'geg  burnt  the 
ead,  and  the  pieces,  and  the  fat 

21  And  he  washed  the  inwards 
and  the  legs  in  water;  and  Md'geg 
burnt  the  whole  ram  upon  the 
altar:  it  was  a  burnt  sacrifice 
for  a  sweet  savour,  and  an  offer- 
ing made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord  ; 
as  the  Lord  commanded  Md'geg. 

22  ITAnd  he  brought  the  other 
ram,  the  ram  of  consecration: 
and  Aar'on  and  his  sons  laid 
their  hands  upon  the  head  of  the 
ram. 

23  And  he  slew  it ;  and  Md'geg 
took  of  the  blood  of  it,  and  put 
it  upon  the  tip  of  AaYon's  right 
ear,  and  upon  the  thumb  of  his 
right  hand,  and  upon  the  great 
toe  of  his  right  foot 

24  And  he  brought  AfiYon's 
sons,  and  Md'geg  put  of  the  blood 
upon  the  tip  of  their  right  ear, 
and  upon  the  thumbs  of  their 
right  hands,  and  upon  the  great 
toes  of  their  right  feet :  and  Md'- 
geg sprinkled  the  blood  upon  the 
altar  round  about 

25  And  he  took  the  fat,  and 
the  rump,  and  all  the  fat  that 
was  upon  the  inwards,  and  the 
caul  above  the  liver,  and  the

two  kidneys,  and  their  fat,  and 
the  right  shoulder: 

26  And  out  of  the  basket  of 
unleavened  bread,  that  was  be- 
fore the  Lord,  he  took  one  un- 
leavened cake,  and  a  cake  of 
oiled  bread,  and  one  wafer,  and 
put  them  on  the  fat,  and  upon 
the  right  shoulder: 

27  And  he  put  all  upon  Aartra's 
hands,  and  upon  his  sons'  hands, 
and  waved  tnem  ,/br  a  wave  of- 
fering before  the  Lord. 

28  And  Md'ses  took  them  from 
off  their  hands,  and  burnt  them 
on  the  altar  upon  the  burnt  of- 
fering: they  were  consecrations 
for  a  sweet  savour:  it  is  an  of- 
fering made  by  fire  unto  the 
Lord. 

29  And  M5'sea  took  the  breast, 
and  waved  it  for  a  wave  offer- 
ing before  the  LORD :  for  of  the 
ram  of  consecration  it  was  Mou- 
ses/ part ;  as  the  Lord  command- 
ed MS'seg. 

30  And  Md'aea  took  of  the 
anointing  oil,  and  of  the  blood 
which  was  upon  the  altar,  and 
sprinkled  it  upon  Aar'on,  and 
upon  his  garments,  and  upon  his 
sons,  and  upon  his  sons'  gar- 
ments with  him ;  and  sanctified 
Aar'on,  and  his  garments,  and 
his  sons,  and  his  sons'  garments 
with  him. 

31  ITAndMS'ses  said  unto  Aar'- 
on and  to  his  sons,  Boil  the  flesh 
at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation :  and  there 
eat  it  with  the  bread  that  is  in 
the  basket  of  consecrations,  as  I 
commanded,  saying,  Aar'on  and 
his  sons  shall  eat  it 

32  And  that  which  remaineth 
of  the  flesh  and  of  the  bread 
shall  ye  burn  with  fire. 

33  And  ye  shall  not  go  out  of 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation  in  seven  days, 
until  the  days  of  your  consecra- 
tion be  at  an  end:  for  seven 
days  shall  he  consecrate  vou. 

34  As  he  hath  done  this  day, 
so  the  Lord  hath  commanded 
to  do,  to  make  an  atonement  for 
you. 

35  Therefore  shall  ye  abide  at 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation  day  and  night 
seven  days,  and  keep  the  charge 
of  the  Lord,  that  ye  die  not: 
for  so  I  am  commanded. 

36  So  Aar'on  and  his  sons  did 
all  things  which  the  Lord  com- 
manded by  the  hand  of  MG'ses, 

CHAPTER  9 

Aaron's  sin  offering  and  burnt  offer- 
ing for  himself  and  the  people.  23 
Moses  and  Aaron  bless  the  people, 
and  fire  cometh  out  from  the  Lord 
upon  the  altar. 


AND  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
eighth  day,  that  Mo'sea 
called  Aar'on  and  his  sons,  and 
the  elders  of  Is/ra-el ; 

2  And  he  said  unto  Aar'on, 
Take  thee  a  young  calf  for  a  sin 
offering,  and  a  ram  for  a  burnt 
offering,  without  blemish,  and 
offer  them  before  the  Lord. 

3  And  unto  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el  thou  shalt  speak,  saying, 
Take  ye  a  kid  of  the  goats  for 
a  sin  offering;  and  a  calf  and  a 
lamb,  both  of  the  first  year, 
without  blemish,  for  a  burnt  of- 
fering; 

4  Also  a  bullock  and  a  ram  for 
peace  offerings,  to  sacrifice  be- 
fore the  Lord  ;  and  a  meat  of- 
fering mingled  with  oil :  for  to 
day  the  Lord  will  appear  unto 
you. 

5  IT  And  they  brought  that 
which  Ms'aeg  commanded  be- 
fore the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation :  and  all  the  congre- 
gation drew  near  and  stood  be- 
fore the  Lord. 

6  And  Mo'aes.  said,  This  is  the 
thing  which  the  Lord  com- 
manded that  ye  should  do:  and 
the  glory  of  the  Lord  shall  ap- 
pear unto  you. 

7  And  M6'$eg  said  unto  Aar'on, 
Go  unto  the  altar,  and  offer  thy 
sin  offering,  and  thy  burnt  offer- 
ing, and  make  an  atonement  for 
thyself,  and  for  the  people :  and 
offer  the  offering  of  the  people, 
and  make  an  atonement  for 
them;  as  the  Lord  commanded. 

8  HAar'on  therefore  went  unto 
the  altar,  and  slew  the  calf  of 
the  sin  offering,  which  was  for 
himself. 

9  And  the  sons  of  Aar'on 
brought  the  blood  unto  him. 
and  he  dipped  his  finger  in  the 
blood,  and  put  it  upon  the  horns 
of  the  altar,  and  poured  out  the 
blood  at  the  bottom  of  the  altar : 

10  But  the  fat,  and  the  kid- 
neys, and  the  caul  above  the 
liver  of  the  sin  offering,  he 
burnt  upon  the  altar;  as  the 
Lord  commanded  Mo'seg. 

11  And  the  flesh  and  the  hide 
he  burnt  with  fire  without  the 
camp. 

12  And  he  slew  the  burnt  of- 
fering; and  Aar'on's  sons  pre- 
sented unto  him  the  blood, 
which  he  sprinkled  round  about 
upon  the  altar. 

13  And  they  presented  the 
burnt  offering  unto  him,  with 
the  pieces  thereof,  and  the  head : 
and  he  burnt  them  upon  the 
altar. 

14  And  he  did  wash  the  in- 
wards and  the  legs,  and  burnt

them  upon  the  burnt  offering  on 
the  altar. 

15  ITAnd  he  brought  the  peo- 
ple's offering,  and  took  the  goat, 
which  was  the  sin  offering  for 
the  people,  and  slew  it,  and  of- 
fered it  for  sin,  as  the  first. 

16  And  he  brought  the  burnt 
offering,  and  offered  it  accord- 
ing to  the  manner. 

17  And  he  brought  the  meat 
offering,  and  took  an  handful 
thereof,  and  burnt  it  upon  the 
altar,  beside  the  burnt  sacrifice 
of  the  morning. 

18  He  slew  also  the  bullock 
and  the  ram  for  a  sacrifice  of 
peace  offerings,  which  was  for 
the  people:  and  A&rWs  sons 
presented  unto  him  the  blood, 
which  he  sprinkled  upon  the  al- 
tar round  about, 

19  And  the  fat  of  the  bullock 
and  of  the  ram,  the  rump,  and 
that  which  covereth  the  in- 
wards, and  the  kidneys,  and  the 
caul  above  the  liver : 

20  And  they  put  the  fat  upon 
the  breasts,  and  he  burnt  the 
fat  upon  the  altar : 

21  And  the  breasts  and  the 
right  shoulder  Aar'on  waved  for 
a  wave  offering  before  the  Lord  ; 
as  Mo'ges  commanded. 

22  And  Aaron  lifted  up  his 
hand  toward  the  people,  and 
blessed  them,  and  came  down 
from  offering  of  the  sin  offering, 
and  the  burnt  offering,  and 
peace  offerings. 

23  And  M5'se§  and  AaVon  went 
into  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation, and  came  out,  and 
blessed  the  people:  and  the 
glory  of  the  Lord  appeared  un- 
to all  the  people. 

24  And  there  came  a  fire  out 
from  before  the  Lord,  and  con- 
sumed upon  the  altar  the  burnt 
offering  and  the  fat:  which 
when  all  the  people  saw,  they 
shouted,  and  fell  on  their  faces. 

CHAPTER  10 

Nadab  and  Abihu  burnt.  8  The 
priests  forbidden  wine  when  they 
enter  the  tabernacle.  12  The  law 
of  eating  the  holy  things. 

AND  Na'dfib  and  A-biTiQ,  the 
sons  of  Aar'on,  took  either 
of  them  his  censer,  and  put  fire 
therein,  and  put  incense  there- 
on, and  offered  strange  fire  be- 
fore the  Lord,  which  he  com- 
manded them  not 

2  And  there  went  out  fire  from 
the  Lord,  and  devoured  them, 
and  they  died  before  the  Lord. 

3  Then  Mo'ges  said  unto  AaY- 
on,  This  is  it  that  the  Lord 
spake,  saying,  I  will  be  sancti- 
fied in  them  that  come  nigh  me, 


and  before  all  the  people  I  will 
be  glorified.  And  Aaron  held 
his  peace. 

4  And  Mft'ges.  called  MIsh'a-el 
and  fil'sa-phfin,  the  sons  of  tV- 
zi-el  the  uncle  of  Aar'on,  and 
said  unto  them,  Come  near, 
carry  your  brethren  from  before 
the  sanctuary  out  of  the  camp. 

5  So  they  went  near,  and  car- 
ried them  in  their  coats  out  of 
the  camp;  as  MO'gea  had  said. 

6  And  MS'ges  said  unto  Aar'on, 
and  unto  E-le-S'zar  and  unto 
Ith'a-mar,  his  sons,  Uncover  not 
your  heads,  neither  rend  your 
clothes;  lest  ye  die,  and  lest 
wrath  come  upon  all  the  people : 
but  let  your  brethren,  the  whole 
house  of  Ig'ra-el,  bewail  the  burn- 
ing which  the  Lord  hath  kin- 
died. 

7  And  ye  shall  not  go  out  from 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  lest  ye  die:  for 
the  anointing  oil  of  the  Lord  is 
upon  you.  And  they  did  accord- 
ing to  the  word  of  MS'seg. 

8  ITAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Aar'on,  saying, 

9  Do  not  drink  wine  nor  strong 
drink,  thou,  nor  thy  sons  with 
thee,  when  ye  go  into  the  tab- 
ernacle of  the  congregation,  lest 
ye  die :  it  shall  be  a  statute  for 
ever  throughout  your  genera- 
tions: 

10  And  that  ye  may  put  differ- 
ence between  holy  and  unholy, 
and  between  unclean  and  clean ; 

11  And  that  ve  may  teach  the 
children  of  ls/ra-el  all  the  stat- 
utes which  the  Lord  hath  spok- 
en unto  them  by  the  hand  of 
Mo'ses. 

12  t  And  Md'ses.  spake  unto 
Aar'on,  and  unto  E-le-a'zar  and 
unto  Ith'a-mar,  his  sons  that 
were  left,  Take  the  meat  offer- 
ing that  remaineth  of  the  offer- 
ings of  the  Lord  made  by  fire, 
and  eat  it  without  leaven  beside 
the  altar :  for  it  is  most  holy 

13  And  ye  shall  eat  it  in  the 
holy  place,  because  it  is  thy  due, 
and  thy  sons'  due,  of  the  sacri- 
fices of  the  Lord  made  by  fire : 
for  so  I  am  commanded. 

14  And  the  wave  breast  and 
heave  shoulder  shall  ye  eat  in  a 
clean  place ;  thou,  and  thy  sons, 
and  tny  daughters  with  thee: 
for  they  be  thy  due,  and  thy 
sons'  due,  which  are  given  out 
of  the  sacrifices  of  peace  offer- 
ings of  the  children  of  ts/ra-el. 

15  The  heave  shoulder  and  the 
wave  breast  shall  they  bring 
with  the  offerings  made  by  fire 
of  the  fat,  to  wave  it  for  a  wave 
offering  before  the  Lord;  and

it  shall  be  thine,  and  thy  sons'

as  the  Lord  hath  commanded. 

16  IT  And  MO'ses.  diligently 
sought  the  goat  of  the  sin  offer- 
ing, and,  behold,  it  was  burnt : 
and  he  was  angry  with  &-le-&' 
sar  and  Ith'a-mar,  the  sons  of 
Aftrtm  which  were  left  alive, 

17  Wherefore  have  ye  not 
eaten  the  sin  offering  in  the 
holy  place,  seeing  it  is  most 
holy,  and  God  hath  given  it 
you  to  bear  the  iniquity  of  the 
congregation,  to  make  atone* 
ment  for  them  before  the  Lord  ? 

18  Behold,  the  blood  of  it  was 
not  brought  in  within  the  holy 
place:  ye  should  indeed  have 
eaten  it  in  the  holy  place,  as  I 
commanded. 

19  And  AaVon  said  unto  M6'- 
aea,  Behold,  this  day  have  they 
offered  their  sin  offering  and 
their  burnt  offering  before  the 
Lord;  and  such  things  have 
befallen  me:  and  if  I  had  eaten 
the  sin  offering  to  day,  should 
it  have  been  accepted  in  the

CHAPTER  11 
What  beasts  may  and  what  may  not 
be  eaten,  eta, 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
M5'ses.  and  to  AaVon,  say- 
ing unto  them, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
ls'ra-el,  saying,  These  are  the 
beasts  which  ye  shall  eat  among 
all  the  beasts  that  are  on  the 
earth. 

3  Whatsoever  parteth  the 
hoof,  and  is  clovenfooted,  and 
cheweth  the  cud,  among  the 
beasts,  that  shall  ye  eat 

4  Nevertheless  these  shall  ye 
not  eat  of  them  that  chew  the 
cud,  or  of  them  that  divide  the 
hoof:  as  the  camel,  because  he 
cheweth  the  cud,  but  divideth 
not  the  hoof ;  he  is  unclean  un- 
to you. 

5  And  the  coney,  because  he 
cheweth  the  cud,  but  divideth 
not  the  hoof ;  he  is  unclean  un- 
to you. 

6  And  the  hare,  because  he 
cheweth  the  cud,  but  divideth 
not  the  hoof;  he  is  unclean 
unto  you. 

7  And  the  swine,  though  he 
divide  the  hoof,  and  be  cloven- 
footed,  yet  he  cheweth  not  the 
cud ;  he  is  unclean  to  you. 

8  Of  their  flesh  shall  ye  not 
eat,  and  their  carcase  shall  ye 
not  touch ;  they  are  unclean  to 
you. 


9  Whose  shall  ye  eat  of  all 
that  are  in  the  waters:  what- 
soever hath  fins  and  scales  in 
the  waters,  in  the  seas,  and  in 
the  rivers,  them  shall  ye  eat 

10  And  all  that  have  not  fins 
and  scales  in  the  seas,  and  in 
the  rivers,  of  all  that  move  in 
the  waters,  and  of  any  living 
thing  which  is  in  the  waters, 
they  shall  be  an  abomination 
unto  you : 

11  They  shall  be  even  an 
abomination  unto  you;  ye  shall 
not  eat  of  their  flesh,  but  ve 
shall  have  their  carcases  in 
abomination. 

12  Whatsoever  hath  no  fins  nor 
scales  in  the  waters,  that  shall 
be  an  abomination  unto  you. 

13  IT  And  these  are  they  which 
ye  shall  have  in  abomination 
among  the  fowls;  they  shall 
not  be  eaten,  they  are  an  abom- 
ination :  the  eagle,  and  the  os- 
sifrage,  and  the  ospray, 

14  And  the  vulture,  and  the 
kite  after  his  kind; 

15  Every  raven  after  his  kind ; 

16  And  the  owl,  and  the  night 
hawk,  and  the  cuckow,  and  the 
hawk  after  his  kind, 

17  And  the  little  owl,  and  the 
cormorant,  and  the  great  owl, 

18  And  the  swan,  and  the  pel- 
ican, and  the  gier  eagle, 

19  And  the  stork,  the  heron 
after  her  kind,  and  the  lapwing, 
and  the  bat 

20  All  f  owls  that  creep,  going 
upon  all  four,  shall  6e{an  abom- 
ination unto  you. 

21  Yet  these  may  ye  eat  of 
every  flying  creeping  thing  that 
goeth  upon  all  four,  which  have 
legs  above  their  feet,  to  leap 
withal  upon  the  earth ; 

22  Even  these  of  them  ye  may 
eat;  the  locust  after  his  kind, 
and  the  bald  locust  after  his 
kind,  and  the  beetle  after  his 
kind,  and  the  grasshopper  after 
his  kind. 

23  But  all  other  flying  creep- 
ing things,  which  have  four 
feet  shall  be  an  abomination 
unto  you. 

24  And  for  these  ye  shall  be 
unclean:  whosoever  toucheth 
the  carcase  of  them  shall  be 
unclean  until  the  even. 

25  And  whosoever  beareth 
ought  of  the  carcase  of  them 
shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  be 
unclean  until  the  even. 

26  The  carcases  of  every 
beast  which  divideth  the  hoof, 
and  is  not  clovenfooted,  nor 
cheweth  the  cud,  are  unclean 
unto  vou:  every  one  that  touch- 
eth them  shall  be  unclean.

:  27  And  whatsoever  goeth  upon 
his  paws,  among  all  manner  of 
beasts  that  go  on  all  four,  those 
are  unclean  unto  you:  whoso 
toucheth  their  carcase  shall  be 
unclean  until  the  even. 

28  And  he  that  beareth  the 
carcase  of  them  shall  wash  his 
clothes,  and  be  unclean  until 
the  even:  they  are  unclean 
unto  you. 

29  IT  These  also  shall  be  un- 
clean unto  you  among  the  creep- 
ing things  that  creep  upon  the 
earth;  the  weasel,  and  the 
mouse,  and  the  tortoise  after 
his  kind, 

30  And  the  ferret,  and  the 
chameleon,  and  the  lizard,  and 
the  snail,  and  the  mole. 

31  These  are  unclean  to  you 
among  all  that  creep:  whoso- 
ever doth  touch  them,  when 
they  be  dead,  shall  be  unclean 
until  the  even. 

32  And  upon  whatsoever  any 
of  them,  when  they  are  dead, 
doth  fall,  it  shall  be  unclean ; 
whether  it  be  any  vessel  of 
wood,  or  raiment,  or  skin,  or 
sack,  whatsoever  vessel  it  be, 
wherein  any  work  is  done,  it 
must  be  put  into  water,  and  it 
shall  be  unclean  until  the  even ; 
so  it  shall  be  cleansed. 

33  And  every  earthen  vessel, 
whereinto  any  of  them  f  alleth, 
whatsoever  is  in  it  shall  be  un- 
clean ;  and  ye  shall  break  it 

34  Of  all  meat  which  may  be 
eaten,  that  on  which  such  wa- 
ter cometh  shall  be  unclean: 
and  all  drink  that  may  be  drunk 
in  every  such  vessel  shall  be 
unclean. 

35  And'  every  thing  where- 
upon any  part  of  their  car- 
case falleth  shall  be  unclean; 
whether  it  be  oven,  or  ranges 
for  pots,  they  shall  be  broken 
down:  for  they  are  unclean, 
and  shall  be  unclean  unto  you. 

36  Nevertheless  a  fountain  or 
pit,  wherein  there  is  plenty  of 
water,  shall  be  clean:  but  that 
which  toucheth  their  carcase 
shall  be  unclean. 

37  And  if  any  part  of  their 
carcase  fall  upon  any  sowing 
seed  which  is  to  be  sown,  it 
shall  be  clean. 

38  But  if  any  water  be  put 
upon  the  seed,  and  any  part  of 
their  carcase  fall  thereon,  it 
shall  be  unclean  unto  you. 

39  And  if  any  beast,  of  which 
ye  may  eat,  die ;  he  that  touch- 
eth the  carcase  thereof  shall  be 
unclean  until  the  even. 

40  And  he  that  eateth  of  the 
carcase  of  it  shall  wash   his 


clothes,  and  be  unclean  until 
the  even :  he  also  that  beareth 
the  carcase  of  it  shall  wash  his 
clothes,  and  be  unclean  until 
the  even. 

41  And  every  creeping  thing 
that  creepeth  upon  the  earth 
shall  be  an  abomination;  it 
shall  not  be  eaten. 

42  Whatsoever  goeth  upon  the 
belly,  and  whatsoever  goeth  up- 
on all  four,  or  whatsoever  hath 
more  feet  among  all  creeping 
things  that  creep  upon  the 
earth,  them  ye  shall  not  eat; 
for  they  are  an  abomination. 

43  Ye  shall  not  make  your 
selves  abominable  with  any 
creeping  thing  that  creepeth, 
neither  shall  ye  make  your- 
selves unclean  with  them,  that 
ye  should  be  defiled  thereby. 

44  For  I  am  the  Lord  your 
God:  ye  shall  therefore  sanc- 
tify yourselves,  and  ye  shall  be 
holy;  for  I  am  holy:  neither 
shall  ye  defile  yourselves  with 
any  manner  of  creeping  thing 
that  creepeth  upon  the  earth. 

45  For  I  am  the  Lord  that 
bringeth  you  up  out  of  the  land 
of  fij gjrpt,  to  be  your  God :  ye 
shall  therefore  be  holy,  for  I 
am  holy. 

46  This  is  the  law  of  the 
beasts,  and  of  the  fowl,  and  of 
every  living  creature  that  mov- 
eth  in  the  waters,  and  of  every 
creature  that  creepeth  upon  the 
earth: 

47  To  make  a  difference  be- 
tween the  unclean  and  the 
clean,  and  between  the  beast 
that  may  be  eaten  and  the 
beast  that  may  not  be  eaten.

The  purification  of  a  woman  after 
childbirth:  6  her  offerings  for  her 
purifying.

Md'ses,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el,  saying,  If  a  woman  have 
conceived  seed,  and  born  a  man 
child :  then  she  shall  be  unclean 
seven  days;  according  to  the 
days  of  the  separation  for  her 
infirmity  shall  she  be  unclean. 

3  And  in  the  eighth  day  the 
flesh  of  his  foreskin  shall  be 
circumcised. 

4  And  she  shall  then  continue 
in  the  blood  of  her  purifyinj 
three  and  thirty  days ;  sheshal 
touch  no  hallowed  thing,  nor 
come  into  the  sanctuary,  until 
the  days  of  her  purifying  be 
fulfilled. 

5  But  if  she  bear  a  maid  child, 
then  she  shall  be  unclean  two 
weeks,  as  in   her  separation:

she  shall  be  clean.

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'sea  and  AaYon,  sayii 

2  When  a  man  shall  have 
the  skin  of  his  flesh  a  rising,  a 
scab,  or  bright  spot,  and  it  be  in 
the  skin  of  his  flesh  like  the 
plague  of  leprosy ;  then  he  shall 
be  brought  unto  AaVon  the 
priest,  or  unto  one  of  his  sons 
the  priests : 

3  And  the  priest  shall  look  on 
the  plague  m  the  skin  of  the 
flesh :  and  when  the  hair  in  the 
plague  is  turned  white,  and  the 
plague  in  sight  be  deeper  than 
the  skin  of  his  flesh,  it  is  a 
plague  of  leprosy:  and  the 
priest  shall  look  on  him,  and 
pronounce  him  unclean. 

4  If  the  bright  spot  be  white 
in  the  skin  of  his  flesh,  and  in 
sight  be  not  deeper  than  the 
skin,  and  the  hair  thereof  be  not 
turned  white;  then  the  priest 
shall  shut  up  him  that  hath  the 
plague  seven  days: 

5  And  the  priest  shall  look  on 
him  the  seventh  day:  and,  be- 
hold, if  the  plague  in  his  sight 
be  at  a  stay,  and  the  plague 
spread  not  in  the  skin ;  then  the 

Siest  shall  shut  him  up  seven 
ysmore 

6  And  the  priest  shall  look  on 
him  again  the  seventh  day :  and, 
behold,  if  the  plague  be  some- 
what dark,  and  the  plague 
spread  not  in  the  skin,  the  priest 
shall  pronounce  him  clean:  it 
is  but  a  scab :  and  he  shall  wash 
his  clothes,  and  be  clean. 


7  But  if  the  scab  spread  much 
abroad  in  the  skin,  after  that  he 
hath  been  seen  of  the  priest  for 
his  cleansing,  he  shall  be  seen  of 
the  priest  again : 

8  And  if  the  priest  see  that,  be- 
hold, the  scab  spreadeth  in  the 
skin,  then  the  priest  shall  pro- 
nounce him  unclean :  it  is  a  lep- 
rosy. 

9  fWhen  the  plague  of  leprosy 
is  in  a  man,  then  he  shall  be 
brought  unto  the  priest; 

10  And  the  priest  shall  see 
him :  and,  behold,  if  the  rising 
be  white  in  the  skin,  and  it  have 
turned  the  hair  white,  and  there 
be  quick  raw  flesh  in  the  rising ; 

11  It  is  an  old  leprosy  in  the 
skin  of  his  flesh,  and  the  priest 
shall  pronounce  him  unclean, 
and  shall  not  shut  him  up :  for 
he  is  unclean. 

12  And  if  a  leprosy  break  out 
abroad  in  the  skin,  and  the  lep- 
rosy cover  all  the  skin  of  him 
that  hath  the  plague  from  his 
head  even  to  his  foot,  whereso- 
ever the  priest  looketh;

sy have  covered  all  his  flesh,  he 
shall  pronounce  him  clean  that 
hath  the  plague:  it  is  all  turned 
white:  he  is  clean. 

14  But  when  raw  flesh  appear- 
eth  in  him,  he  shall  be  unclean. 

15  And  the  priest  shall  see  the 
raw  flesh,  and  pronounce  him  to 
be  unclean :  for  the  raw  flesh  is 
unclean :  it  %*  a  leprosy. 

16  Or  if  the  raw  flesh  turn 
again,  and  be  changed  unto 
white,  he  shall  come  unto  the 
priest; 

17  And  the  priest  shall  see  him 
and,  behold,  if  the  plague  be 
turned  into  white;  then  the 
priest  shall  pronounce  him 
clean  that  hath  the  plague: 
he  is  clean. 

18  f  The  flesh  also,  in  which, 
even  in  the  skin  thereof,  was  a 
boil,  and  is  healed, 

19  And  in  the  place  of  the  boil 
there  be  a  white  rising,  or  a 
bright  spot,  white,  and  some- 
what reddish,  and  it  be  shewed 
to  the  priest; 

20  And  if,  when  the  priest 
seeth  it,  behold,  it  be  in  sight 
lower  than  the  skin,  and  the 
hair  thereof  be  turned  white; 
the  priest  shall  pronounce  him 
unclean :  it  is  a  plague  of  lep- 
rosy broken  out  of  the  boil. 

21  But  if  the  priest  look  on  it, 
and,  behold,  there  be  no  white 
hairs  therein,  and  if  it  be  not 
lower  than  the  skin,  but  be 
somewhat  dark ;  then  the  priest

shall  shut  him  up  seven  days 

22  And  if  it  spread  much 
abroad  in  the  skin,  then  the 
priest  shall  pronounce  him  un- 
clean :  it  is  a  plague. 

23  But  if  the  bright  spot  stay 
in  his  place,  and  spread  not,  it 
is  a  burning  boil ;  and  the  priest 
shallpronounce  him  clean. 

24  llOr  if  there  be  any  flesh, 
in  the  skin  whereof  there  is 
a  hot  burning,  and  the  quick 
flesh  that  burnetii  have  a  white 
bright  spot,  somewhat  reddish, 
or  white; 

25  Then  the  priest  shall  look 
upon  it :  and,  behold,  if  the  hair 
in  the  bright  spot  be  turned 
white,  and  it  be  xn  sight  deeper 
than  the  skin;  it  is  a  leprosy 
broken  out  of  the  burning: 
wherefore  the  priest  shall  pro- 
nounce him  unclean :  it  is  the 
plague  of  leprosy. 

26  But  if  the  priest  look  on  it, 
and,  behold,  there  be  no  white 
hair  in  the  bright  spot,  and  it  be 
no  lower  than  the  other  skin, 
but  be  somewhat  dark ;  then  the 
priest  shall  shut  him  up  seven 
days: 

27  And  the  priest  shall  look 
upon  him  the  seventh  day :  and 
if  it  be  spread  much  abroad  in 
the  skin,  then  the  priest  shall 
pronounce  him  unclean:  it  is 
the  plague  of  leprosy. 

28  And  if  the  bright  spot  stay 
in  his  place,  and  spread  not  in 
the  skin,  but  it  be  somewhat 
dark ;  it  is  a  rising  of  the  burn- 
ing, and  the  priest  shall  pro- 
nounce him  clean :  for  it  is  an 
inflammation  of  the  burning. 

29  TO  a  man  or  woman  have  a 
plague  upon  the  head  or  the 
beard; 

30  Then  the  priest  shall  see 
the  plague:  ana,  behold,  if  it  be 
in  sight  deeper  than  the  skin ; 
and  there  be  in  it  a  yellow  thin 
hair ;  then  the  priest  shall  pro- 
nounce him  unclean:  it  is  a 
dry  scall,  even  a  leprosy  upon 
the  head  or  beard. 

31  And  if  the  priest  look  on 
the  plague  of  the  scall,  and,  be- 
hold, it  be  not  in  sight  deeper 
than  the  skin,  and  that  there  is 
no  black  hair  in  it;  then  the 
priest  shall  shut  up  him  that 
hath  the' plague  of  the  scall 
seven  days : 

32  And  in  the  seventh  day  the 
priest  shall  look  on  the  plague : 
and,  behold,  if  the  scall  spread 
not,  and  there  be  in  it  no  yellow 
hair,  and  the  scall  be  not  in 
sight  deeper  than  the  skin ; 

33  He  shall  be  shaven,  but  the 
scall  shall  he  not  shave;  and 


the  priest  shall  shut  up  him  that 
hath  the  scall  seven  days  more 

34  And  in  the  seventh  day  the 
priest  shall  look  on  the  scall: 
and,  behold,  if  the  scall  be  not 
spread  in  the  skin,  nor  be  in 
sight  deeper  than  the  skin ;  then 
the  priest  shall  pronounce  him 
clean:  and  he  shall  wash  his 
clothes,  and  be  clean. 

35  But  if  the  scall  spread  much 
in  the  skin  after  his  cleansing; 

36  Then  the  priest  shall  look 
on  him :  and,  behold,  if  the  scall 
be  spread  in  the  skin,  the  priest 
shall  not  seek  for  yellow  hair; 
he  is  unclean. 

37  But  if  the  scall  be  in  his 
sight  at  a  stay,  and  that  there 
is  black  hair  grown  up  therein ; 
the  scall  is  healed,  he  is  clean : 
and  the  priest  shall  pronounce 
him  clean. 

38  Hlf  a  man  also  or  a  woman 
have  in  the  skin  of  their  flesh 
bright  spots,  even  white  bright 
spots; 

39  Then  the  priest  shall  look 
and,  behold,  if  the  bright  spots 
in  the  skin  of  their  flesh  be  dark- 
ish white ;  it  is  a  freckled  spot 
that  groweth  in  the  skin ;  he  is 
clean. 

40  And  the  man  whose  hair  is 
fallen  off  his  head,  he  is  bald ; 

\et  is  he  clean. 

41  And  he  that  hath  his  hair 
fallen  off  from  the  part  of  his 
head  toward  his  face,  he  is  fore- 
head bald :  yet  is  he  clean. 

42  And  if  there  be  in  the  bald 
head,  or  bald  forehead,  a  white 
reddish  sore;   it  is  a  leprosy 

r  a?  up  in  his  bald  head,  or 
his  bald  forehead. 

43  Then  the  priest  shall  look 
upon  it:  and,  behold,  if  the  ris- 
ing of  the  sore  be  white  reddish 
in  his  bald  head,  or  in  his  bald 
forehead,  as  the  leprosy  appear- 
eth  in  the  skin  of  the  flesh ; 

44  He  is  a  leprous  man,  he  is 
unclean:  the  priest  shall  pro- 
nounce him  utterly  unclean; 
his  plague  is  in  his  head. 

45  And  the  leper  in  whom  the 
plague  is,  his  clothes  shall  be 
rent,  and  his  head  bare,  and  he 
shall  put  a  covering  upon  his  up- 
per lip,  and  shall  cry,  Unclean, 
unclean. 

46  All  the  daya  wherein  the 
plague  shall  be  in  him  he  shall 
be  defiled;  he  is  unclean:  he 
shall  dwell  alone;  without  the 
camp  shall  his  habitation  be.

plague  of  leprosy  is  in,  wheth- 
er xt  be  a  woollen  garment,  or  a 
linen  garment ;

or  woof ;  of  linen,  or  of  woollen ; 
whether  in  a  skin,  or  in  any 
thing  made  of  skin ; 

49  And  if  the  plague  be  green- 
ish or  reddish  in  the  garment, 
or  in  the  skin,  either  in  the 
warp,  or  in  the  woof,  or  in  any 
thing  of  skin ;  it  is  a  plague  of 
leprosy,  and  shall  be  shewed  unto 
the  priest : 

50  And  the  priest  shall  look 
upon  the  plague,  and  shut  up  it 
that  hath  the  plague  seven 
days: 

51  And  he  shall  look  on  the 
plague  on  the  seventh  day:  if 
the  plague  be  spread  in  the  gar- 
ment, either  in  the  warp,  or  in 
the  woof,  or  in  a  skin,  or  in  any 
work  that  is  made  of  skin ;  the 
plague  is  a  fretting  leprosy ;  it  is 
unclean. 

52  He  shall  therefore  burn  that 
garment,  whether  warp  or  woof, 
in  woollen  or  in  linen,  or  any 
thing   of    skin,   wherein    the 

friague  is:  for  it  is  a  fretting 
eprosy ;  it  shall  be  burnt  in  the 
fire. 

53  And  if  the  priest  shall  look, 
and,  behold,  the  plague  be  not 
spread  in  the  garment,  either  in 
the  warp,  or  in  the  woof,  or  in 
any  thing  of  skin ; 

54  Then  the  priest  shall  com- 
mand that  they  wash  the  thing 
wherein  the  plague  is,  and  he 
shall  shut  it  up  seven  days  more: 

55  And  the  priest  shall  look  on 
the  plague,  after  that  it  is 
washed:  and,  behold,  if  the 
plague  have  not  changed  his 
colour,  and  the  plague  be  not 
spread ;  it  is  unclean ;  thou  shalt 
burn  it  in  the  fire;  it  is  fret  in- 
ward, whether  it  be  bare  within 
or  without 

56  And  if  the  priest  look,  and, 
behold,  the  plague  be  somewhat 
dark  after  the  washing  of  it; 
then  he  shall  rend  it  out  of  the 
garment,  or  out  of  the  skin,  or 
out  of  the  warp,  or  out  of  the 
woof: 

57  And  if  it  appear  still  in  the 
garment,  either  in  the  warp,  or 
m  the  woof,  or  in  any  thing  of 
skin ;  it  is  a  spreading  plague : 
thou  shalt  burn  that  wherein  the 
plague  is  with  fire. 

58  And  the  garment,  either 
warp,  or  woof,  or  whatsoever 
thing  of  skin  it  be,  which  thou 
shalt  wash,  if  the  plague  be  de- 
parted from  them,  then  it  shall 
be  washed  the  second  time,  and 
shall  be  clean. 

59  This  is  the  law  of  the  plague 
of  leprosy  in  a  garment  of  wool- 
len or  linen,  either  in  the  warp, 
or  woof,  or  any  thing  of  skins, 


to  pronounce  it  clean,  or  to  pro- 
nounce it  unclean.

The  rites  and  sacrifice*  in  cleansing 
of  the  leper.  33  The  signs  of  lep- 
rosy in  a  house :  48  the  cleansing  o/ 
that  house. 

AND   the  Lord   spake  unto 
Md'ges,  saying, 

2  This  shall  be  the  law  of  the 
leper  in  the  day  of  his  cleansing 
He  shall  be  brought  unto  the 
priest: 

3  And  the  priest  shall  go  forth 
out  of  the  camp ;  and  the  priest 
shall  look,  and,  behold,  t/the 
plague  of  leprosy  be  healed  in 
the  leper; 

4  Then  shall  the  priest  com- 
mand to  take  for  him  that  is  to 
be  cleansed  two  birds  alive  and 
clean,  and  cedar  wood,  and  scar- 
let,  and  hyssop : 

5  And  the  priest  shall  com- 
mand that  one  of  the  birds  be 
killed  in  an  earthen  vessel  over 
running  water : 

6  As  for  the  living  bird,  he 
shall  take  it,  and  the  cedar  wood, 
and  the  scarlet,  and  the  hyssop, 
and  shall  dip  them  and  the  living 
bird  in  the  blood  of  the  bird 
that  was  killed  over  the  running 
water: 

7  And  he  shall  sprinkle  upon 
him  that  is  to  be  cleansed  from 
the  leprosy  seven  times,  and 
shall  pronounce  him  clean,  and 
shall  let  the  living  bird  loose 
into  the  open  field. 

8  And  he  that  is  to  be  cleansed 
shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  shave 
off  all  his  hair,  and  wash  himself 
in  water,  that  he  may  be  clean : 
and  after  that  he  shall  come 
into  the  camp,  and  shall  tarry 
abroad  out  of  his  tent  seven 
days. 

9  But  it  shall  be  on  the  seventh 
day,  that  he  shall  shave  all  his 
hair  off  his  head  and  his  beard 
and  his  eyebrows,  even  all  his 
hair  he  shall  shave  off :  and  he 
shall  wash  his  clothes,  also  he 
shall  wash  his  flesh  in  water, 
and  he  shall  be  clean. 

10  And  on  the  eighth  day  he 
shall  take  two  he  lambs  without 
blemish,  and  one  ewe  lamb  of 
the  first  year  without  blemish, 
and  three  tenth  deals  of  fine 
flour  for  a  meat  offering,  min- 
gled with  oil,  and  one  log  of  oil. 

11  And  the  priest  that  maketh 
him  clean  shall  present  the  man 
that  is  to  be  made  clean,  and 
those  things,  before  the  Lord, 
at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation : 

12  And  the  priest  shall  take  one 
he  lamb,  and  offer  him  for  a  tres-

and  wave  them  for  a  wave  offer- 
ing before  the  Lord  : 

13  And  he  shall  slay  the  lamb 
in  the  place  where  he  shall  kill 
the  sin  offering  and  the  burnt 
offering,  in  the  holy  place:  for 
as  the  am  offering  is  the  priesfs, 
so  is  the  trespass  offering:  it  is 
most  holy: 

14  And  the  priest  shall  take 
some  of  the  blood  of  the  tres- 
pass offering,  and  the  priest 
shall  put  it  upon  the  tin  of  the 
right  ear  of  nim  that  is  to  be 
cleansed,  and  upon  the  thumb  of 
his  right  hand,  and  upon  the 
great  toe  of  his  right  foot: 

15  And  the  priest  shall  take 
some  of  the  log  of  oil,  and  pour 
it  into  the  palm  of  his  own  left 
hand: 

16  And  the  priest  shall  dip  his 
right  finger  in  the  oil  that  is  in 
his  left  hand,  and  shall  sprinkle 
of  the  oil  with  his  finger  seven 
times  before  the  Lord: 

17  And  of  the  rest  of  the  oil 
that  is  in  his  hand  shall  the 
priest  put  upon  the  tip  of  the 
right  ear  of  him  that  is  to  be 
cleansed,  and  upon  the  thumb 
of  his  right  hand,  and  upon  the 
great  toe  of  his  right  foot,  upon 
the  blood  of  the  trespass  offer- 
ing: 

18  And  the  remnant  of  the  oil 
that  is  in  the  priesfs  hand  he 
shall  pour  upon  the  head  of  him 
that  is  to  be  cleansed:  and  the 
priest  shall  make  an  atonement 
for  him  before  the  Lord. 

19  And  the  priest  shall  offer 
the  sin  offering,  and  make  an 
atonement  for  him  that  is  to  he 
cleansed  from  his  uncleanness ; 
and  afterward  he  shall  kill  the 
burnt  offering: 

20  And  the  priest  shall  offer 
the  burnt  offering  and  the  meat 
offering  upon  the  altar:  and  the 
priest  shall  make  an  atonement 
for  him,  and  he  shall  be  clean. 

21  And  if  he  be  poor,  and  can- 
not get  so  much ;  then  he  shall 
take  one  lamb  for  a  trespass  of- 
fering to  be  waved,  to  make  an 
atonement  for  him,  and  one 
tenth  deal  of  fine  Hour  mingled 
with  oil  for  a  meat  offering,  and 
a  log  of  oil ; 

22  And  two  turtledoves,  or  two 
young  pigeons,  such  as  he  is 
able  to  get ;  and  the  one  shall  be 
a  sin  offering,  and  the  other  a 
burnt  offering. 

23  And  he  shall  bring  them  on 
the  eighth  day  for  his  cleansing 
unto  the  priest,  unto  the  door  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, before  the  Lord. 


24  And  the  priest  shall  take 
the  lamb  of  the  trespass  offer- 
ing, and  the  log  of  oil,  and  the 
pnest  shall  wave  them  for  a 
wave  offering  before  the  Lord  : 

25  And  he  shall  kill  the  lamb 
of  the  trespass  offering,  and  the 
priest  shall  take  some  of  the 
blood  of  the  trespass  offering, 
and  put  it  upon  tne  tip  of  the 
right  ear  of  nim  that  is  to  be 
cleansed,  and  upon  the  thumb 
of  his  right  hand,  and  upon  the 
great  toe  of  his  right  foot :

the  oil  into  tne  palm  of  his  own 
left  hand:

kle with  his  right  finger  some 
of  the  oil  that  is  in  hisleft  hand 
seven  times  before  the  Lord 

28  And  the  priest  shall  put  of 
the  oil  that  is  in  his  hand  upon 
the  tip  of  the  right  ear  of  him 
that  is  to  be  cleansed,  and  upon 
the  thumb  of  his  right  hand,  and 
upon  the  great  toe  of  his  right 
foot,  upon  the  place  of  the  blood 
of  the  trespass  offering: 

29  And  the  rest  of  the  oil  that 
is  in  the  priesfs  hand  he  shall 
put  upon  the  head  of  him  that 
is  to  be  cleansed,  to  make  an 
atonement  for  him  before  the 
Lord. 

30  And  he  shall  offer  the  one 
of  the  turtledoves,  or  of  the 
young  pigeons,  such  as  he  can 
get; 

31  Even  such  as  he  is  able  to 
get,  the  one  for  a  sin  offering, 
and  the  other  for  a  burnt  offer- 
ing, with  the  meat  offering :  and 
the  priest  shall  make  an  atone- 
ment for  him  that  is  to  be 
cleansed  before  the  Lord. 

32  This  is  the  law  of  him  in 
whom  is  the  plague  of  leprosy, 
whose  hand  is  not  able  to  get 
that  which  pertaineth  to  his 
cleansing. 

33  HAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'sea  and  unto  AaVon,  saying, 

34  When  ye  be  come  into  the 
land  of  Cfi'naan,  which  I  give  to 
you  for  a  possession,  and  I  put 
the  plague  of  leprosy  in  a  house 
of  the  land  of  your  possession ; 

35  And  he  that  owneth  the 
house  shall  come  and  tell  the 
priest,  saying,  It  seemeth  to  me 
there  is  as  it  were  a  plague  in 
the  house: 

36  Then  the  priest  shall  com- 
mand that  they  empty  the  house, 
before  the  priest  go  into  it  to 
see  the  plague,  that  all  that  is  in 
the  house  be  not  made  unclean : 
and  afterward  the  priest  shall  go 
in  to  see  the  house : 

37  And  he  shall  look  on  the

plague,   and,    behold,   if  the 

ilague  be  in  the  walls  of  the 

louse    with    hollow    strakes, 

greenish  or  reddish,  which  in 

sight  are  lower  than  the  wall ; 

38  Then  the  priest  shall  go 
out  of  the  house  to  the  door  of 
the  house,  and  shut  up  the 
house  seven  days: 

39  And  the  priest  shall  come 
again  the  seventh  day,  and  shall 
look :  and,  behold,  i/ the  plague 
be  spread  in  the  walls  of  the 
house; 

40  Then  the  priest  shall  com- 
mand that  they  take  away  the 
stones  in  which  the  plague  is9 
and  they  shall  cast  them  into 
an  unclean  place  without  the 
city: 

41  And  he  shall  cause  the 
house  to  be  scraped  within 
round  about,  and  they  shall 
pour  out  the  dust  that  they 
scrape  off  without  the  city  into 
an  unclean  place : 

42  And  they  shall  take  other 
stones,  and  put  them  in  the 
place  of  those  stones;  and  he 
shall  take  other  morter,  and 
shall  plaister  the  house. 

43  And  if  the  plague  come 
again,  and  break  out  in  the 
house,  after  that  he  hath  taken 
away  the  stones,  and  after  he 
hath  scraped  the  house,  and 
after  it  is  plaistered; 

44  Then  the  priest  shall  come 
and  look,  and,  behold,  if  the 
plague  be  spread  in  the  house, 
it  is  a  fretting  leprosy  in  the 
house:  it  is  unclean. 

45  And  he  shall  break  down 
the  house,  the  stones  of  it,  and 
the  timber  thereof,  and  all  the 
morter  of  the  house;  and  he 
shall  carry  them  forth  out  of 
the  city  into  an  unclean  place. 

46  Moreover  he  that  goeth  in- 
to the  house  all  the  while  that 
it  is  shut  up  shall  be  unclean 
until  the  even. 

47  And  he  that  lieth  in  the 
house  shall  wash  his  clothes; 
and  he  that  eateth  in  the  house 
shall  wash  his  clothes. 

48  And  if  the  priest  shall  come 
in,  and  look  upon  it,  and,  be- 
hold, the  plague  hath  not  spread 
in  the  house,  after  the  house 
was  plaistered :  then  the  priest 
shall  pronounce  the  house  clean, 
because  the  plague  is  healed. 

49  And  he  snaU  take  to  cleanse 
the  house  two  birds,  and  cedar 
wood,  and  scarlet,  and  hyssop: 

50  And  he  shall  kill  the  one 
of  the  birds  in  an  earthen  ves- 
sel over  running  water : 

51  And  he  shall  take  the  cedar 
wood,  and  the  hyssop,  and  the 

117 


scarlet,  and  the  living  bird,  and 
dip  them  in  the  blood  of  the 
slain  bird,  and  in  the  running 
water,  and  sprinkle  the  house 
seven  times: 

52  And  he  shall  cleanse  the 
house  with  the  blood  of  the 
bird,  and  with  the  running  wa- 
ter, and  with  the  living  bird, 
and  with  the  cedar  wood,  and 
with  the  hyssop,  and  with  the 
scarlet : 

53  But  he  shall  let  go  the  liv- 
ing bird  out  of  the  city  into  the 
open  fields,  and  make  an  atone- 
ment for  the  house :  and  it  shall 
be  clean. 

54  This  is  the  law  for  all  man- 
ner of  plague  of  leprosy,  and 
scall, 

55  And  for  the  leprosy  of  a 
garment,  and  of  a  house, 

56  And  for  a  rising,  and  for  a 
scab,  and  for  a  bright  spot : 

57  To  teach  when  it  is  un- 
clean, and  when  it  is  clean: 
this  is  the  law  of  leprosy.

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MS'ses.  and  to  Afir'on,  say- 
ing, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Ts/ra-el,  and  say  unto  them, 
When  any  man  hath  a  running 
issue  out  of  his  flesh,  because 
of  his  issue  he  yt  unclean. 

3  And  this  shall  be  his  un- 
cleanness  in  his  issue :  whether 
his  flesh  run  with  his  issue,  or 
his  flesh  be  stopped  from  his 
issue,  it  is  his  uncleanness. 

4  Every  bed,  whereon  he  lieth 
that  hath  the  issue,  is  unclean : 
and  every  thing,  whereon  he 
sitteth,  shall  be  unclean. 

5  And  whosoever  toucheth  his 
bed  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and 
bathe  himself  in  water,  and  be 
unclean  until  the  even. 

6  And  he  that  sitteth  on  any 
thing  whereon  he  sat  that  hath 
the  issue  shall  wash  his  clothes, 
and  bathe-  himself  in  water, 
and  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

7  And  he  that  toucheth  the 
flesh  of  him  that  hath  the  issue 
shall  wash  his  clothes,  and 
bathe  himself  in  water,  and 
be  unclean  until  the  even. 

8  And  if  he  that  hath  the  is- 
sue spit  upon  him  that  is  clean ; 
then  he  snail  wash  his  clothes, 
and  bathe  himself  in  water, 
and  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

9  And  what  saddle  soever  he 
rideth  upon  that  hath  the  issue 
shall  be  unclean.

any  thing  that  was  under  him 
shall  be  unclean  until  the  even : 
and  he  that  beareth  any  of  those 
things  shall  wash  his  clothes, 
and  bathe  himself  in  water,  and 
be  unclean  until  the  even. 

11  And  whomsoever  he  touch- 
eth  that  hath  the  issue,  and  hath 
not  rinsed  his  hands  in  water, 
he  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and 
bathe  himself  in  water,  and  be 
unclean  until  the  even. 

12  And  the  vessel  of  earth,  that 
he  toucheth  which  hath  the 
issue,  shall  be  broken:  and  every 
vessel  of  wood  shall  be  rinsed  in 
water. 

13  And  when  he  that  hath  an 
issue  is  cleansed  of  his  issue; 
then  he  shall  number  to  himself 
seven  days  for  his  cleansing,  and 
wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe  his 
flesh  in  running  water,  and  shall 
be  clean. 

14  And  on  the  eighth  day  he 
shall  take  to  him  two  turtle- 
doves, or  two  young  pigeons,  and 
come  before  the  Lord  unto  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  and  give  them 
unto  the  priest : 

15  And  the  priest  shall  offer 
them,  the  one /or  a  sin  offering, 
and  the  other  for  a  burnt  offer- 
ing; and  the  priest  shall  make 
an  atonement  for  him  before  the 
Lord  for  his  issue. 

16  Andif  any  man's  seed  of  cop- 
ulation go  out  from  him,  then  he 
shall  wash  all  his  flesh  in  water, 
and  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

17  And  every  garment,  and 
every  skin,  whereon  is  the  seed 
of  copulation,  shall  be  washed 
with  water,  and  be  unclean  until 
the  even. 

18  The  woman  also  with  whom 
man  shall  lie  with  seed  of  copu- 
lation, they  shall  both  bathe 
themselves  in  water,  and  be  un- 
clean until  the  even. 

19  HAnd  if  a  woman  have  an 
issue,  and  her  issue  in  her  flesh 
be  blood,  she  shall  be  put 
apart  seven  days:  and  whoso- 
ever toucheth  her  shall  be  un- 
clean until  the  even. 

20  And  every  thing  that  she 
lieth  upon  in  her  separation 
shall  be  unclean:  every  thing 
also  that  she  sitteth  upon  shall 
be  unclean. 

21  And  whosoever  toucheth 
her  bed  shall  wash  his  clothes, 
and  bathe  himself  in  water, 
and  be  unclean  until  the  even, 

22  And  whosoever  toucheth 
any  thing  that  she  sat  upon  shall 
wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe  him- 
self  in  water,  and  be  unclean  un- 
til the  even* 


23  Andif  it  be  on  her  bed,  or  on 
any  thing  whereon  she  sitteth, 
when  he  toucheth  it,  he  shall  be 
unclean  until  the  even. 

24  And  if  any  man  lie  with  her 
at  all,  and  her  flowers  be  upon 
him,  he  shall  be  unclean  seven 
days;  and  all  the  bed  whereon 
he  lieth  shall  be  unclean. 

25  And  if  a  woman  have  an 
issue  of  her  blood  many  davs  out 
of  the  time  of  her  separation,  or 
if  it  run  beyond  the  time  of  her 
separation ;  all  the  days  of  the 
issue  of  her  uncleanness  shall  be 
as  the  days  of  her  separation 
she  shall  be  unclean. 

26  Every  bed  whereon  she 
lieth  all  the  days  of  her  issue 
shall  be  unto  her  as  the  bed  of 
her  separation :  and  whatsoever 
she  sitteth  upon  shall  be  un- 
clean, as  the  uncleanness  of  her 
separation. 

27  And  whosoever  toucheth 
those  things  shall  be  unclean, 
and  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and 
bathe  himself  in  water,  and  be 
unclean  until  the  even. 

28  But  if  she  be  cleansed  of  her 
issue,  then  she  shall  number  to 
herself  seven  days,  and  after 
that  she  shall  be  clean. 

29  And  on  the  eighth  day  she 
shall  take  unto  her  two  turtles, 
or  two  young  pigeons,  and  bring 
them  unto  the  priest,  to  the  door 
of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congre- 
gation. 

30  And  the  priest  shall  offer 
the  one  for  a  sin  offering,  and 
the  other  for  a  burnt  offering ; 
and  the  priest  shall  make  an 
atonement  for  her  before  the 
Lord  for  the  issue  of  her  un- 
cleanness. 

31  Thus  shall  ye  separate  the 
children  of  Ig'ra-el  from  their 
uncleanness ;  that  they  die  not 
in  their  uncleanness,  when  they 
defile  my  tabernacle  that  is 
among  them. 

32  This  is  the  law  of  him 
that  hath  an  issue,  and  of  him 
whose  seed  goeth  from  him, 
and  is  defiled  therewith ; 

33  And  of  her  that  is  sick  of 
her  flowers,  and  of  him  that  hath 
an  issue,  of  the  man,  and  of  the 
woman,  and  of  him  that  lieth 
with  her  that  is  unclean.

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Md'-

brother,  that  he  come  not  at  all 
times  into  the  holy  place  with- 
in the  vail  before  the  mercy 
seat,  which  is  upon  the  ark; 
that  he  die  not:  for  I  will  ap- 
pear in  the  cloud  upon  the  mer- 
cy seat 

3  Thus  shall  AaVon  come  into 
the  holy  place :  with  a  young 
bullock  for  a  sin  offering,  and 
a  ram  for  a  burnt  offering. 

4  He  shall  put  on  the  holy 
linen  coat,  and  he  shall  have 
the  linen  breeches  upon  his 
flesh,  and  shall  be  girded  with  a 
linen  girdle,  and  with  the  linen 
mitre  shall  he  be  attired :  these 
are  holy  garments;  therefore 
shall  he  wash  his  flesh  in  water, 
and  so  put  them  on. 

5  And  he  shall  take  of  the  con- 
gregation of  the  children  of  Is/- 
ra-ei  two  kids  of  the  goats  for  a 
sin  offering,  and  one  ram  for  a 
burnt  offering. 

6  And  AaVon  shall  offer  his 
bullock  of  the  sin  offering, 
which  is  for  himself,  and  main 
an  atonement  for  himself,  and 
for  his  house. 

7  And  he  shall  take  the  two 
goats,  and  present  them  before 
the  Lord  at  the  door  of  the  tab- 
ernacle of  the  congregation. 

8  And  A&r'on  shall  cast  lots 
upon  the  two  goats ;  one  lot  for 
the  Lord,  and  the  other  lot  for 
the  scapegoat. 

9  Ana  Mr'on  shall  bring  the 
goat  upon  which  the  Lord's  lot 
fell,  and  offer  him  for  a  sin  of- 
fering. 

10  But  the  goat,  on  which  the 
lot  fell  to  be  the  scapegoat,  shall 
be  presented  alive  before  the 
Lord,  to  make  an  atonement 
with  him,  and  to  let  him  go  for 
a  scapegoat  into  the  wilderness. 

11  And  Aar'on  shall  bring  the 
bullock  of  the  sin  offering,  which 
is  for  himself,  and  shall  make 
an  atonement  for  himself,  and 
for  his  house,  and  shall  kill  the 
bullock  of  the  sin  offering  which 
i*  for  himself : 

12  And  he  shall  take  a  censer 
full  of  burning  coals  of  fire  from 
off  the  altar  before  the  Lord, 
and  his  hands  full  of  sweet  in- 
cense beaten  small,  and  bring  it 
within  the  vail : 

13  And  he  shall  put  the  incense 

Sion  the  fire  before  the  Lord, 
at  the  cloud  of  the  incense 
may  cover  the  mercy  seat  that 
is  upon  the  testimony,  that  he 
die  not : 

14  And  he  shall  take  of  the 
blood  of  the  bullock,  and  sprinkle 


it  with  his  finger  upon  the  mercy 
seat  eastward;  and  before  the 
mercy  seat  shall  he  sprinkle  of 
the  blood  with  his  finger  seven 
times. 

15  Then  shall  he  kill  the  goat 
of  the  sin  offering,  that  is  for 
the  people,  and  bnng  his  blood 
within  the  vail,  and  do  with  that 
blood  as  he  did  with  the  blood 
of  the  bullock,  and  sprinkle  it 
upon  the  mercy  seat,  and  before 
the  mercy  seat: 

16  And  he  shall  make  an  atone- 
ment for  the  holy  place,  because 
of  the  uncleanness  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el,  and  because  of 
their  transgressions  in  all  their 
sins :  and  so  shall  he  do  for  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
that  remaineth  among  them  in 
the  midst  of  their|  uncleanness. 

17  And  there  shall  be  no  man 
in  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation when  he  goeth  in  to 
make  an  atonement  in  the  holy 

elace,  until  he  come  out,  and 
ave  made  an  atonement  for 
himself,  and  for  his  household, 
and  for  all  the  congregation  of 
Is'ra-el. 

18  And  he  shall  go  out  unto 
the  altar  that  is  before  the  Lord, 
and  make  an  atonement  for  it ; 
and  shall  take  of  the  blood  of 
the  bullock,  and  of  the  blood  of 
the  goat,  and  put  it  upon  the 
horns  of  the  altar  round  about 

19  And  he  shall  sprinkle  of  the 
blood  upon  it  with  his  finger 
seven  tunes,  and  cleanse  it,  and 
hallow  it  from  the  uncleanness 
of  the  children  of  Is/ra-el. 

20  f  And  when  he  hath  made 
an  end  of  reconciling  the  holy 
place,  and  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  and  the  altar,  he 
shall  bring  the  live  goat : 

21  And  Aar'on  shall  lay  both 
his  hands  upon  the  head  of  the 
live  goat,  and  confess  over  him 
all  the  iniquities  of  the  children 
of  is'ra-el,  and  all  their  trans- 
gressions in  all  their  sins,  put- 
ting them  upon  the  head  of  the 

rt,  and  shall  send  him  away 
„  the  hand  of  a  fit  man  into 
the  wilderness: 

22  And  the  goat  shall  bear  up- 
on him  all  their  iniquities  unto 
a  land  not  inhabited:  and  he 
shall  let  go  the  goat  in  the  wil 
derness. 

23  And  Aar'on  shall  come  into 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, and  shall  put  off  the  linen 
garments,  which  he  put  on  when 
he  went  into  the  holy  place, 
and  shall  leave  them  there : 

24  And  he  shall  wash  his  flesh 
with  water  in  the  holy  place,

come  forth,  and  offer  his  burnt 
offering,  and  the  burnt  offering 
of  the  people,  and  make  an 
atonement  for  himself,  and  for 
the  people. 

25  And  the  fat  of  the  sin  offer- 
ing shall  he  burn  upon  the  altar. 

26  And  he  that  let  go  the  goat 
for  the  scapegoat  shall  wash  his

27  And  the  bullocks/or  the  sin

sin  offering,  whose  blood  was 
brought  in  to  make  atonement 
in  the  holy  place,$ha\i  one  carry 
forth  without  the  camp;  and 
they  shall  burn  in  the  fire  their 
skins,  and  their  flesh,  and  their 
dung. 

28  And  he  that  burnetii  them 
shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe 
his  flesh  in  water,  and  after- 
ward he  shall  come  into  the 
camp. 

29  ITAnd  this  shall  be  a  statute 
for  ever  unto  you:  that  in  the 
seventh  month,  on  the  tenth  day 
of  the  month,  ye  shall  afflict 
your  souls,  and  do  no  work  at 
all,  whether  it  be  one  of  your 
own  country,  or  a  stranger  that 
sojouroeth  among  you : 

30  For  on  that  day  shall  the 
priest  make  an  atonement  for 
you,  to  cleanse  you,  that  ye  may 
be  clean  from  all  your  sins  be- 
fore the  Lord. 

31  It  shall  be  a  sabbath  of 
rest  unto  you,  and  ye  shall  af- 
flict your  souls,  by  a  statute  for 
ever. 

32  And  the  priest,  whom  he 
shall  anoint,  and  whom  he  shall 
consecrate  to  minister  in  the 
priest's  office  in  his  father's 
stead,  shall  make  the  atonement, 
and  shall  put  on  the  linen 
clothes,  even  the  holy  garments: 

33  And  he  shall  make  an  atone- 
ment for  the  holy  sanctuary,  and 
he  shall  make  an  atonement  for 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, and  for  the  altar,  and  he 
shall  make  an  atonement  for  the 
priests,  and  for  all  the  people  of 
the  congregation. 

34  And  this  shall  be  an  ever- 
lasting statute  unto  you,  to  make 
an  atonement  for  the  children 
of  ls/ra-el  for  all  their  sins  once 
a  year.  And  he  did  as  the  Lord 
commanded  Md'ges. 

CHAPTER  17 

Blood  of  beasts  must  be  offered  at 
the  tabernacle  door.  10  Eating  of 
blood  forbidden. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MQ'ses,  saying, 


2  Speak  unto  AaVon,  and  unto 
his  sons,  and  unto  all  the  chil- 
dren of  ls/ra-el,  and  say  unto 
them ;  This  is  the  thing  which 
the  Lord  hath  commanded,  say- 
ing, 

3  What  man  soever  there  be  of 
the  house  of  ls/ra-el,  that  killeth 
an  ox,  or  lamb,  or  goat,  in  the 
camp,  or  that  killeth  it  out  of 
the  camp, 

4  And  bringeth  it  not  unto  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  to  offer  an  offer- 
ing unto  the  Lord  before  the 
tabernacle  of  the  Lord;  blood 
shall  be  imputed  unto  that  man ; 
he  hath  shed  blood;  and  that 
man  shall  be  cut  off  from  among 
his  people : 

5  To  the  end  that  the  children 
of  ls/ra-el  may  bring  their  sacri- 
fices, which  they  offer  in  the 
open  field,  even  that  they  may 
bring  them  unto  the  Lord,  unto 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  unto  the  priest, 
and  offer  them  for  peace  offer- 
ings unto  the  Lord. 

6  And  the  priest  shall  sprinkle 
the  blood  upon  the  altar  of  the 
Lord  at  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation,  and 
burn  the  fat  for  a  sweet  savour 
unto  the  Lord. 

7  And  they  shall  no  more  offer 
their  sacrifices  unto  devils,  after 
whom  they  have  gone  a  whoring. 
This  shall  be  a  statute  for  ever 
unto  them  throughout  their  gen- 
erations. 

8  And  thou  shalt  say  unto 
them,  Whatsoever  man  there 
be  of  the  house  of  Ig'ra-el,  or 
of  the  strangers  which  sojourn 
among  you,  that  off ereth  a  burnt 
offering  or  sacrifice, 

9  And  bringeth  it  not  unto  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  to  offer  it  unto 
the  Lord  ;  even  that  man  shall 
be  cut  off  from  among  his  peo- 
ple. 

10  IT  And  whatsoever  man 
there  be  of  the  house  of  Is/- 
ra-el,  or*  of  the  strangers  that 
sojourn  among  you,  that  eateth 
any  manner  of  blood;  I  will 
even  set  my  face  against  that 
soul  that  eateth  blood,  and  will- 
cut  him  off  from  among  his  peo- 
ple. 

11  For  the  life  of  the  flesh  is  in 
the  blood :  and  I  have  given  it 
to  you  upon  the  altar  to  make  an 
atonement  for  your  souls :  for  it 
is  the  blood  that  maketh  an 
atonement  for  the  soul. 

12  Therefore  I  said  unto  the 
children  of  ls/ra-el,  No  soul  of 
you  shall  eat  blood,  neither  shall

any  stranger   that   sojourneth

13  And  whatsoever  man  there 
be  of  the  children  of  Is/ra-el,  or 
of  the  strangers  that  sojourn 
among  you,  which  hunteth  and 
catcheth  any  beast  or  fowl  that 
may  be  eaten;  he  shall  even 
pour  out  the  blood  thereof,  and 
cover  it  with  dust 

14  For  it  is  the  life  of  all 
flesh ;  the  blood  of  it  is  for  the 
life  thereof:  therefore  I  said 
unto  the  children  of  Is/ra-el,  Ye 
shall  eat  the  blood  of  no  man- 
ner of  flesh:  for  the  life  of  all 
flesh  is  the  blood  thereof :  who- 
soever eateth  it  shall  be  cut  off. 

15  And  every  soul  that  eateth 
that  which  died  of  itself,  or  that 
which  was  torn  with  beasts, 
whether  it  be  one  of  your  own 
country,  or  a  stranger,  he  shall 
both  wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe 
himself  in  water,  and  be  un- 
clean until  the  even:  then 
shall  he  be  clean. 

16  But  if  he  wash  them  not, 
nor  bathe  his  flesh;  then  he 
shall  bear  his  iniquity. 

CHAPTER  18 

Unlawful  marriages.    19  Unlawful 


AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MG'teg,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el,  and  say  unto  them,  I 
am  the  Lord  your  God. 

3  After  the  doings  of  the  land 
of  B'gjrpt,  wherein  ye  dwelt, 
shall  ye  not  do:  and  after  the 
doings  of  the  land  of  Cl'naan, 
whither  I  bring  you,  shall  ye 
not  do:  neither  shall  ye  walk 
in  their  ordinances. 

4  Ye  shall  do  my  judgments, 
and  keep  mine  ordinances,  to 
walk  therein :  I  am  the  Lord 
your  God. 

5  Ye  shall  therefore  keep  my 
statutes,  and  my  judgments: 
which  if  a  man  do,  he  shall  live 
in  them :  I  am  the  Lord. 

6  INone  of  you  shall  approach 
to  any  that  is  near  of  kin  to 
him,  to  uncover  their  naked- 
ness: I  am  the  Lord. 

7  The  nakedness  of  thy  fa- 
ther, or  the  nakedness  of  thy 
mother,  shalt  thou  not  uncover : 
she  is  thy  mother;  thou  shalt 
not  uncover  her  nakedness. 

8  The  nakedness  of  thy  fa- 
ther's wife  shalt  thou  not  un- 
cover: it  is  thy  father's  naked- 
ness. 

9  The  nakedness  of  thy  sis- 
ter, the  daughter  of  thy  father, 
or  daughter  of  thy  mother, 
whether  she  be  born  at  home, 
or  born  abroad,  even  their  na- 


kedness thou  shalt  not  uncover. 

10  The  nakedness  of  thy  son's 
daughter,  or  of  thy  daughter's 
daughter,  even  their  nakedness 
thou  shalt  not  uncover:  for 
their's  is  thine  own  nakedness. 

11  The  nakedness  of  thy  fa- 
ther's wife's  daughter,  begotten 
of  thy  father,  she  is  thy  sister, 
thou  shalt  not  uncover  her  na- 
kedness. 

12  Thou  shalt  not  uncover  the 
nakedness  of  thy  father's  sis- 
ter: she  is  thy  father's  near 
kinswoman. 

13  Thou  shalt  not  uncover  the 
nakedness  of  thy  mother's  sis- 
ter: for  she  is  thy  mother's 
near  kinswoman. 

14  Thou  shalt  not  uncover 
the  nakedness  of  thy  father's 
brother,  thou  shalt  not  ap- 
proach to  his  wife:  she  %s 
thine  aunt 

15  Thou  shalt  not  uncover  the 
nakedness  of  thy  daughter  in 
law:  she  is  thy  son's  wife; 
thou  shalt  not  uncover  her  na- 
kedness. 

16  Thou  shalt  not  uncover  the 
nakedness  of  thy  brother's 
wife:  it  is  thy  brother's  na- 
kedness. 

17  Thou  shalt  not  uncover  the 
nakedness  of  a  woman  and  her 
daughter,  neither  shalt  thou 
take  her  son's  daughter,  or  her 
daughter's  daughter,  to  uncover 
her  nakedness;  for  they  are 
her  near  kinswomen:  it  is 
wickedness. 

18  Neither  shalt  thou  take  a 
wife  to  her  sister,  to  vex  her, 
to  uncover  her  nakedness,  be- 
side the  other  in  her  life  time. 

19  Also  thou  shalt  not  ap- 
proach unto  a  woman  to  un- 
cover her  nakedness,  as  long 
as  she  is  put  apart  for  her  un 
cleanness. 

20  Moreover  thou  shalt  not  lie 
carnally  with  thy  neighbour's 
wife,  to  defile  thyself  with  her. 

21  And  thou  shalt  not  let  any 
of  thy  seed  pass  through  the 
fire  to  MQlech,  neither  shalt 
thou  profane  the  name  of  thy 
God :  I  am  the  Lord. 

22  Thou  shalt  not  lie  with 
mankind,  as  with  womankind: 
it  is  abomination. 

23  Neither  shalt  thou  lie  with 
any  beast  to  defile  thyself 
therewith:  neither  shall  any 
woman  stand  before  a  beast  to 
lie  down  thereto:  it  is  confu- 
sion. 

24  Defile  not  ye  yourselves  in 
any  of  these  things:  for  in  all 
these  the  nations  are  defiled 
which  I  cast  out  before  you:

25  And  the  land  is  defiled: 
therefore  I  do  visit  the  iniquity 
thereof  upon  it,  and  the  land 
itself  vomiteth  out  her  inhab- 
itants. 

26  Ye  shall  therefore  keep  my 
statutes  and  my  judgments,  and 
shall  not  commit  any  of  these 
abominations;  neither  any  of 
your  own  nation,  nor  any 
stranger  that  sojourneth  among 
you: 

27  (For  all  these  abomina- 
tions have  the  men  of  the  land 
done,  which  were  before  you, 
and  the  land  is  defiled ;) 

28  That  the  land  spue  not  you 
out  also,  when  ye  defile  it,  as  it 
spued  out  the  nations  that  were 
before  you.

even  the  souls  that  commit 
them  shall  be  cut  off  from 
among  their  people.

mit not  any  one  of  these  abom- 
inable customs,  which  were  com- 
mitted before  you,  and  that  ye 
defile  not  yourselves  therein:. 
I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

CHAPTER  19 
A  repetition  of  sundry  laws, 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'seg,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  all  the  congrega- 
tion of  the  children  of  Is/ra-el, 
and  say  unto  them,  Ye  shall  be 
holy :  for  I  the  Lord  your  God 
am  holy. 

3  IT  Ye  shall  fear  every  man 
his  mother,  and  his  father,  and 
keep  my  sabbaths:  I  am  the 
Lord  your  God. 

4  Imirn  ye  not  unto  idols,  nor 
make  to  yourselves  molten  gods : 
I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

5  HAnd  if  ye  offer  a  sacrifice 
of  peace  offerings  unto  the 
Lord,  ye  shall  offer  it  at  your 
own  will. 

6  It  shall  be  eaten  the  same 
day  ye  offer  it,  and  on  the  mor- 
row :  and  if  ought  remain  until 
the  third  day,  it  shall  be  burnt 
in  the  fire. 

7  And  if  it  be  eaten  at  all  on 
the  third  day,  it  is  abominable ; 
it  shall  not  be  accepted. 

8  Therefore  every  one  that 
eateth  it  shall  bear  his  iniquity, 
because  he  hath  profaned  the 
hallowed  thing  of  the  Lord: 
and  that  soul  shall  be  cut  off 
from  among  his  people. 

9  IFAnd  when  ye  reap  the  har- 
vest of  your  land,  thou  shalt 
not  wholly  reap  the  comers  of 
thy  field,  neither  shalt  thou 


gather  the  gleanings  of  thy  har- 
vest 

10  And  thou  shalt  not  glean 
thy  vineyard,  neither  shalt  thou 
gather  every  grape  of  thy  vine- 
yard ;  thou  shalt  leave  them  for 
the  poor  and  stranger:  I  am 
the  Lord  your  God. 

11  HYe  shall  not  steal,  neither 
deal  falsely,  neither  lie  one  to 
another. 

12  ITAnd  ye  shall  not  swear  bv 
my  name  falsely,  neither  shaft 
thou  profane  the  name  of  thy 
God:  I  am  the  Lord. 

13  f  Thou  shalt  not  defraud 
thy  neighbour,  neither  rob  him: 
the  wages  of  him  that  is  hired 
shall  not  abide  with  thee  all 
night  until  the  morning. 

14  ITThou  shalt  not  curse  the 
deaf,  nor  put  a  stumblingblock 
before  the  blind,  but  shalt  fear 
thy  God :  I  am  the  Lord. 

15  IT  Ye  shall  do  no  unright- 
eousness in  judgment:  thou 
shalt  not  respect  the  person  of 
the  poor,  nor  honour  the  person 
of  the  mighty:  but  in  right- 
eousness shalt  thou  judge  thy 
neighbour. 

16  IfThou  shalt  not  go  up  and 
down  as  a  talebearer  among 
thy  people :  neither  shalt  thou 
stand  against  the  blood  of  thy 
neighbour:  I  am  the  Lord. 

17  HThou  shalt  not  hate  thy 
brother  in  thine  heart:  thou 
shalt  in  any  wise  rebuke  thy 
neighbour,  and  not  suffer  sin 
upon  him. 

18  ITThou  shalt  not  avenge, 
nor  bear  any  grudge  against  the 
children  of  thy  people,  but  thou 
shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as  thy- 
self :  I  am  the  Lord. 

19  T5fe  shall  keep  my  statutes. 
Thou  shalt  not  let  thy  cattle 
gender  with  a  diverse  kind :  thou 
shalt  not  sow  thv  field  with 
mingled  seed:  neither  shall  a 
garment  mingled  of  linen  and 
woollen  come  upon  thee. 

20  f  And  whosoever  lieth  car- 
nally with  a  woman,  that  is  a 
bondmaid,  betrothed  to  an  hus- 
band, and  not  at  all  redeemed, 
nor  freedom  given  her;  she  shall 
be  scourged ;  they  shall  not  be 
put  to  death,  because  she  was 
not  free. 

21  And  he  shall  bring  his  tres- 
pass offering  unto  the  Lord,  un- 
to the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation,  even  a  ram 
for  a  trespass  offering. 

22  And  the  priest  shall  make 
an  atonement  for  him  with  the 
ram  of  the  trespass  offering  be- 
fore the  Lord  for  his  sin  which 
he  hath  done:  and  the  sin  which

23  If  And  when  ye  shall  come 
into  the  land,  and  shall  have 
planted  all  manner  of  trees  for 
food,  then  ye  shall  count  the 
fruit  thereof  as  un  circumcised : 
three  years  shall  it  be  as  uncir- 
cnmcised  unto  you :  it  shall  not 
be  eaten  of. 

24  But  in  the  fourth  year  all 
the  fruit  thereof  shall  be  holy  to 
praise  the  Lord  withal. 

25  And  in  the  fifth  year  shall 
re  eat  of  the  fruit  thereof,  that 
t  may  yield  unto  you  the  in- 
crease thereof :  I  am  the  Lord 
your  God. 

26  HYe  shall  not  eat  anything 
with  the  blood:  neither  shall 
ye  use  enchantment,  nor  observe 
times. 

27  Ye  shall  not  round  the  cor- 
ners of  your  heads,  neither  shalt 
thou  mar  the  corners  of  thy 
beard. 

28  Ye  shall  not  make  any  cut-

nor  print  any  marks  upon  you 
I  am  the  Lord. 

29  U  Do  not  prostitute  thy

whore;  lest  the  land  fall  to 
whoredom,  and  the  land  become 
full  of  wickedness.

CHAPTER  20 

Of  him  that  giveth  of  hie  seed  unto 
Molech:  4  of  him  that  favoureth 
tueh  an  one :  6  ofooinato  wizard* 


7  of  sanctifieation:9  of  him  that 
eurseth  his  parents :  10  cf  adultery : 
11.  14,  17.  19  of  incest:  13  of  sod-

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MS'seg,  saying, 

2  Again,  thou  shalt  say  to  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el,  Whosoever 
he  be  of  the  children  of  Is/ra-el, 
or  of  the  strangers  that  sojourn 
in  Is/ra-el,  that  giveth  any  of  his 
seed  unto  MOIech ;  he  shall  sure- 
ly he  put  to  death :  the  people  of 
the  land  shall  stone  him  with 
stones. 

3  And  I  will  set  my  face  against 
that  man,  and  will  cut  him  off 
from  among  his  people ;  because 
he  hath  given  of  his  seed  unto 
Mdlech,  to  defile  mv  sanctuary, 
and  to  profane  my  holy  name. 

4  And  if  the  people  of  the  land 
do  any  ways  hide  their  eyes 
from  the  man,  when  he  giveth  of 
his  seed  unto  Molech,  and  kill 
him  not : 

5  Then  I  will  set  my  face 
against  that  man,  and  against 
his  family,  and  will  cut  him  off, 
and  all  that  go  a  whoring  after 
him,  to  commit  whoredom  with 
Mdlech,  from  among  their  peo- 
ple. 

6  H And  the  soul  that  turneth 
after  such  as  have  familiar 
spirits,  and  after  wizards,  to  go 
a  whoring  after  them,  I  will  even 
set  my  face  against  that  soul, 
and  will  cut  him  off  from  among 
his  people. 

7  Sanctify  yourselves  there- 
fore, and  be  ye  holy :  for  I  am 
the  Lord  your  God. 

8  And  ye  shall  keep  my  stat- 
utes, and  do  them:  I  am  the 
Lord  which  sanctify  you. 

9  IfFor  every  one  that  eurseth 
his  father  or  his  mother  shall  be 
surely  put  to  death:  he  hath 
cursed  his  father  or  his  mother ; 
his  blood  shall  be  upon  him. 

10  IFAnd  the  man  that  commit- 
teth  adultery  with  another 
man's  wife,  even  he  that  com- 
mitteth  adultery  with  his  neigh- 
bour's wife,  the  adulterer  and 
the  adulteress  shall  surely  be  put 
to  death. 

11  And  the  man  that  lieth  with 
his  father's  wife  hath  uncovered 
his  father's  nakedness:  both  of 
them  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death ;  their  blood  shall  oeupon 
them. 

12  And  if  a  man  lie  with  his 
daughter  in  law,  both  of  them 
shall  surely  be  put  to  death :  they 
have  wrought  confusion ;  their 
blood  shall  be  upon  them.

ly be  put  to  death ;  their  blood 
shall  be  upon  them. 

14  And  ii  a  man  take  a  wife 
and  her  mother,  it  is  wicked- 
ness :  they  shall  be  burnt  with 
fire,  both  he  and  they;  that 
there  be  no  wickedness  among 
you. 

15  And  if  a  man  lie  with  a 
beast,  he  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death:  and  ye  shall  slay  the 
beast 

16  And  if  a  woman  approach 
unto  any  beast,  and  lie  down 
thereto,  thou  shalt  kill  the  wom- 
an, and  the  beast:  they  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death;  their 
blood  shalt  be  upon  them. 

17  And  if  a  man  shall  take  his 
sister,  his  father's  daughter,  or 
his  mother's  daughter,  and  see 
her  nakedness,  and  she  see  his 
nakedness ;  it  is  a  wicked  thing ; 
and  they  shall  be  cut  off  in  the 
sight  of  their  people :  he  hath 
uncovered  his  sister's  naked- 
ness; he  shall  bear  his  iniquity. 

18  And  if  a  man  shall  lie  with 
a  woman  haying  her  sickness, 
and  shall  uncover  her  naked- 
ness; he  hath  discovered  her 
fountain,  and  she  hath  uncov- 
ered the  fountain  of  her  blood : 
and  both  of  them  shall  be  cut 
off  from  among  their  people. 

19  And  thou  shalt  not  uncover 
the  nakedness  of  thy  mother's 
sister,  nor  of  thy  father's  sister : 
for  he  uncovereth  his  near  kin : 
they  shall  bear  their  iniquity. 

20  And  if  a  man  shall  he  with 
his  uncle's  wife,  he  hath  uncov- 
ered his  uncle's  nakedness:  they 
shall  bear  their  sin ;  they  shall 
die  childless. 

21  And  if  a  man  shall  take  his 
brother's  wife,  it  is  an  unclean 
thing:  he  hath  uncovered  his 
brother's  nakedness;  they  shall 
be  childless. 

22  HYe  shall  therefore  keep 
all  my  statutes,  and  all  my  judg- 
ments, and  do  them:  that  the 
land,  whither  I  bring  you  to 
dwell  therein,  spue  you  not  out 

23  And  ye  shall  not  walk  in 
the  manners  of  the  nation, 
which  I  cast  out  before  you: 
for  they  committed  all  these 
things,  and  therefore  I  abhorred 
them. 

24  But  I  have  said  unto  you, 
Ye  shall  inherit  their  land,  and 
I  will  give  it  unto  you  to  pos- 
sess it,  a  land  that  floweth  with 
milk  and  honey :  I  am  the  Lord 
your  God,  which  have  separated 
you  from  other  people. 

25  Ye  shall  therefore  put  dif- 
ference between  clean  beasts 


and  unclean,  and  between  un- 
clean fowls  and  clean :  and  ye 
shall  not  make  your  souls  abom- 
inable by  beast,  or  by  fowl,  or 
by  any  manner  of  living  thing 
that  creepeth  on  the  ground, 
which  I  nave  separated  from 
you  as  unclean. 

26  And  ye  shall  be  holy  unto 
me:  for  I  the  Lord  am  holy, 
and  have  severed  you  from 
other  people,  that  ye  should  be 
mine. 

27  1TA  man  also  or  woman  that 
hath  a  familiar  spirit,  or  that 
is  a  wizard,  shall  surely  be  put 
to  death :  they  shall  atone  them 
with  stones :  their  blood  shall 
be  upon  them.

them,  There  shall  none  be  de-

fire,  and  the  bread  of  their  God, 
they  do  offer:  therefore  they 
shall  be  holy 

7  They  shall  not  take  a  wife 
that  is  a  whore,  or  profane; 
neither  shall  they  take  a  wom- 
an put  away  from  her  husband : 
for  he  is  holy  unto  his  God. 

8  Thou  shalt  sanctify  him 
therefore;  for  he  offereth  the 
bread  of  thy  God :  he  shall  be 
holy  unto  thee :  for  I  the  Lord, 
which  sanctify  you,  am  holy. 

9  And  the  daughter  of  any 
priest,  if  she  profane  herself 
by  playing  the  whore,  she  pro- 
faneth  her  father:  she  shall  be 
burnt  with  fire.

priest  among  his  brethren,  upon

whose  head  the  anointing  oil 
was  poured,  and  that  is  conse- 
crated to  pat  on  the  garments, 
shall  not  uncover  his  nead,  nor 
rend  his  clothes ; 

11  Neither  shall  he  go  in  to  any 
dead  body,  nor  defile  himself  for 
his  father,  or  for  his  mother ; 

12  Neither  shall  he  go  out  of 
the  sanctuary,  nor  profane  the 
sanctuary  of  his  God ;  for  the 
crown  of  the  anointing  oil  of 
his  God  is  upon  him:  I  am  the 
Lord. 

13  And  he  shall  take  a  wife  in 
her  virginity. 

14  A  widow,  or  a  divorced 
woman,  or  profane,  or  an  har- 
lot, these  shall  he  not  take :  but 
he  shall  take  a  virgin  of  his  own 
people  to  wife. 

15  Neither  shall  he  profane  his 
seed  among  his  people:  for  I  the 
Lord  do  sanctify  him. 

16  IT  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MO'seg,  saying, 

17  Speak  unto  Aafon,  saying, 
Whosoever  he  be  of  thv  seed  in 
their  generations  that  nath  any 
blemish,  let  him  not  approach 
to  offer  the  bread  of  h|s  God. 

18  For  whatsoever  man  he  be 
that  hath  a  blemish,  he  shall  not 
approach:  a  blind  man,  or  a 
lame,  or  he  that  hath  a  flat  nose, 
or  any  thing  superfluous, 

19  Or  a  map  that  is  broken- 
footed,  or  brokenhanded, 

20  Or  crookbackt,  or  a  dwarf, 
or  that  hath  a  blemish  in  his  eye, 
or  be  scurvy,  or  scabbed,  or  hath 
his  stones  broken ; 

21  No  man  that  hath  a  blem- 
ish of  the  seed  of  AaVon  the 
priest  shall  come  nigh  to  offer 
the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made 
by  fire:  he  hath  a  blemish;  he 
shall  not  come  nigh  to  offer  the 
bread  of  his  God. 

22  He  shall  eat  the  bread  of 
his  God,  both  of  the  most  holy, 
and  of  the  holy. 

25  Only  he  shall  not  go  in  unto 
the  vail,  nor  come  nigh  unto  the 
altar,  because  he  hath  a  blem- 
ish; that  he  profane  not  my 
sanctuaries:  for  I  the  Lord  do 
sanctify  them. 

24  And  Md'ses.  told  it  unto 
AaYon,  and  to  his  sons,  and  unto 
all  the  children  of  Is/ra-eL. 

CHAPTER  22 

The  priests  in  their  uneleanness  must 
abstain  from  holy  things.    10  Who 
of  the  priest's  house  may  eat 
them.    17  The  sacrifices  must 
without  blemish.   26  The  age  of  the 
sacrifice. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mfi'seg,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto  Adrtra  and  to  nis 
sons,  that  they  separate  them- 


selves from  the  holy  things  of 
the  children  of  Is/ra-el,  and  that 
they  profane  not  my  holy  name 
in  those  things  which  they  hal- 
low unto  me:  I  am  the  Lord. 

3  Say  unto  them,  Whosoever 
he  be  of  all  your  seed  among 
your  generations,  that  goeth  un- 
to the  holy  things,  which  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el  hallow  unto 
the  Lord,  having  his  unclean- 
ness  upon  him,  that  soul  shall  be 
cut  oft  from  my  presence:  lam 
the  Lord. 

4  What  man  soever  of  the  seed 
of  AaYon  is  a  leper,  or  hath  a 
running  issue;  he  shall  not  eat 
of  the  holy  things,  until  he  be 
clean.  And  whoso  toucheth  any 
thing  that  is  unclean  by  the 
dead,  or  a  man  whose  seed  goeth 
from  him ; 

5  Or  whosoever  toucheth  any 
creeping  thing,  whereby  he  may 
be  made  unclean,  or  a  man  of 
whom  he  may  take  unelean- 
ness, whatsoever  uncleanness 
he  hath; 

6  The  soul  which  hath  touched 
any  such  shall  be  unclean  until 
even,  and  shall  not  eat  of  the 
holy  things,  unless  he  wash  his 
flesh  with  water. 

7  And  when  the  sun  is  down, 
he  shall  be  clean,  and  shall  af- 
terward eat  of  the  holy  things; 
because  it  is  his  food. 

8  That  which  dieth  of  itself,  or 
is  torn  with  beasts,  he  shall  not 
eat  to  defile  himself  therewith : 
I  am  the  Lord. 

9  They  shall  therefore  keep 
mine  ordinance,  lest  they  bear 
sin  for  it  and  die  therefore,  if 
they  profane  it :  I  the  Lord  do 
sanctify  them. 

10  There  shall  no  stranger  eat 
of  the  holy  thing:  a  sojourner 
of  the  priest,  or  an  hired  servant, 
shall  not  eat  o/the  holy  thing. 

11  But  if  the  priest  buy  any 
soul  with  his  money,  he  shall 
eat  of  it,  and  he  that  is  born  in 
his  house :  they  shall  eat  of  his 
meat. 

12  If  the  priesfs  daughter  also 
be  married  unto  a  stranger,  she 
may  not  eat  of  an  offering  of 
the  holy  things. 

13  But  if  the  priesfs  daughter 
be  a  widow,  or  divorced,  and 
have  no  child,  and  is  returned 
unto  her  father's  house,  as  in 
her  youth,  she  shall  eat  of  her 
father's  meat:  but  there  shall 
no  stranger  eat  thereof. 

14  And  if  a  man  eat  of  the 
holy  thing  unwittingly,  then  he 
shall  put  the  fifth  part  thereof 
unto  it,  and  shall  give  it  unto 
the  priest  with  the  holy  thing.

15  And  they  shall  not  profane 
the  holy  things  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  which  they  offer  un- 
to the  Lord  ; 

16  Or  suffer  them  to  bear  the 
iniquity  of  trespass,  when  they 
eat  their  holy  things :  for  I  the 
Lord  do  sanctify  them. 

17  f  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'seSj  saying, 

18  Speak  unto  AaVon,  and  to 
his  sons,  and  unto  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto 
them,  Whatsoever  he  be  of  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el,  or  of  the 
strangers  in  Is'ra-el,  that  will 
offer  his  oblation  for  all  his 
vows,  and  for  all  his  freewill 
offerings,  which  they  will  offer 
unto  the  Lord  for  a  burnt  of- 
fering; 

19  Ye  shall  offer  at  your  own 
will  a  male  without  blemish,  of 
the  beeves,  of  the  sheep,  or  of 
the  goats. 

20  dvX  whatsoever  hath  a 
blemish,  that  shall  ye  not  of- 
fer: for  it  shall  not  be  accept- 
able for  you. 

21  And  whosoever  offereth  a 
sacrifice  of  peace  offerings  un- 
to the  Lord  to  accomplish  his 
vow,  or  a  freewill  offering  in 
beeves  or  sheep,  it  shall  be  per- 
fect to  be  accepted;  there  shall 
be  no  blemish  therein. 

22  Blind,  or  broken,  or  maimed, 
or  having  a  wen,  or  scurvy,  or 
scabbed,  ye  shall  not  offer  these 
unto  the  Lord,  nor  make  an  of- 
fering by  fire  of  them  upon  the 
altar  unto  the  Lord. 

23  Either  a  bullock  or  a  lamb 
that  hath  any  thing  superfluous 
or  lacking  in  his  parts,  that 
mayest  thou  offer  for  a  free- 
will offering ;  but  for  a  vow  it 
shall  not  be  accepted. 

24  Ye  shall  not  offer  unto  the 
Lord  that  which  is  bruised,  or 
crushed,  or  broken,  or  cut ;  nei- 
ther shall  ye  make  any  offer- 
ing  thereof  in  your  land. 

25  Neither  from  a  stranger's 
hand  shall  ye  offer  the  bread 
of  your  God  of  any  of  these; 
because  their  corruption  is  in 
them,  and  blemishes  be  in 
them:  they  shall  not  be  ac- 
cepted for  you. 

26  IFAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MS'sea,  saying, 

27  When  a  bullock,  or  a  sheep, 
or  a  goat,  is  brought  forth,  then 
it  shall  be  seven  days  under  the 
dam ;  and  from  the  eighth  day 
and  thenceforth  it  shall  be  ac- 
cepted for  an  offering  made  by 
fire  unto  the  Lord. 

28  And  whether  it  be  cow 
or  ewe,  ye   shall  not  kill  it 


and  her  young  both  in  one  day. 

29  1TAnd  when  ye  will  offer  a 
sacrifice  of  thanksgiving  unto 
the  Lord,  offer  it  at  your  own 
will. 

30  On  the  same  day  it  shall  be 
eaten  up;  ye  shall  leave  none 
of  it  until  the  morrow:  I  am 
the  Lord. 

31  Therefore  shall  ye  keep  my 
commandments,  and  do  them : 
I  am  the  Lord. 

32  Neither  shall  ye  profane 
my  holy  name;  but  I  will  be 
hallowed  among  the  children  of 
I§'ra-el :  I  am  the  Lord  which 
hallow  you, 

33  That  brought  you  out  of 
the  land  of  l&'gjrpt,  to  be*  your 
God :  I  am  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  23 

Of  sundry  feasts.  3  The  sabbath.  4 
The  passover.  26  The  day  qf  atone- 
ment, etc. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MS'seg,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them, 
Concerning  the  feasts  of  the 
Lord,  which  ye  shall  proclaim 
to  be  hqly  convocations,  even 
these  are  my  feasts. 

3  Six  days  shall  work  be  done 
but  the  seventh  day  is  the  sab- 
bath of  rest,  an  holy  convoca- 
tion ;  ye  shall  do  no  work  there- 
in:  it  is  the  sabbath  of  the 
Lord  in  all  your  dwellings. 

4  TThese  are  the  feasts  of  the 
Lord,  even  holy  convocations, 
which  ye  shall  proclaim  in  their 
seasons. 

5  In  the  fourteenth  day  of  the 
first  month  at  even  is  the 
Lord's  passover. 

6  And  on  the  fifteenth  day  of 
the  same  month  is  the  feast  of 
unleavened  bread  unto  the 
Lord  :  seven  days  ye  must  eat 
unleavened  bread. 

7  In  the  first  day  ye  shall 
have  an  holy  convocation:  ye 
shall  do  no  servile  work  therein. 

8  But  ye  shall  offer  an  offer- 
ing made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord 
seven  days :  in  the  seventh  day 
is  an  holy  convocation :  ye  shall 
do  no  servile  work  therein. 

9  HAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
M5'se&  saying, 

10  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them. 
When  ye  be  come  into  the  land 
which  I  give  unto  you,  and 
shall  reap  the  harvest  thereof, 
then  ye  shall  bring  a  sheaf  of 
the  firstfruits  of  your  harvest 
unto  the  priest: 

11,  And  he  shall  wave  the  sheaf 
before  the  Lord,  to  be  accepted 
for  you:  on  the  morrow  after

12  And  ye  shall  offer  that  day 
when  ye  wave  the  sheaf  an  he 
lamb  without  blemish  of  the 
first  year  for  a  burnt  offering 
unto  the  Lord. 

13  And  the  meat  offering 
thereof  shall  be  two  tenth 
deals  of  fine  flour  mingled  with 
oil,  an  offering  made  by  fire  un- 
to the  Lord  for  a  sweet  savour : 
and  the  drink  offering  thereof 
shall  be  of  wine,  the  fourth  part 
of  an  bin. 

14  And  ye  shall  eat  neither 
bread,  nor  parched  corn,  nor 

een  ears,  until  the  selfsame 
ly  that  ye  have  brought  an  of- 
fering unto  your  God :  it  shall 
be  a  statute  for  ever  throughout 
your  generations  in  all  your 
dwellings. 

15  HAnd  ye  shall  count  unto 
you  from  the  morrow  after  the 
sabbath,  from  the  day  that  ye 
brought  the  sheaf  of  the  wave 
offering;  seven  sabbaths  shall 
be  complete : 

16  Even  unto  the  morrow  after 
the  seventh  sabbath  shall  ye 
number  fifty  days;  and  ye  shall 
offer  a  new  meat  offering  unto 
the  Lord. 

17  Ye  shall  bring  out  of  your 
habitations  two  wave  loaves  of 
two  tenth  deals:  thev  shall  be 
of  fin  e  flour ;  they  shall  be  baken 
with  leaven ;  they  are  the  first- 
fruits  unto  the  Lord. 

18  And  ye  shall  offer  with  the 
bread  seven  lambs  without 
blemish  of  the  first  year,  and 
one  young  bullock,  and  ti 
rams:  they  shall  be for  a  burnt 
offering  unto  the  Lord,  with 
their  meat  offering,  and  their 
drink  offerings,  even  an  offering 
made  by  fire,  of  sweet  savour 
unto  the  Lord. 

19  Then  ye  shall  sacrifice  one 
kid  of  the  goats  for  a  sin  offer- 
ing, and  two  lambs  of  the  first 
year  for  a  sacrifice  of  peace  of- 
ferings. 

20  And  the  priest  shall  wave 
them  with  the  bread  of  the  first- 
fruits/or  a  wave  offering  before

they  shall  be  holy  to  the  Lord 
for  the  priest 

21  And  ye  shall  proclaim  on 
the  selfsame  day,  that  it  may 
be  an  holy  convocation  unto 
you :  ye  shall  do  no  servile  work 
therein :  it  shall  be  a  statute 
for  ever  in  all  your  dwellings 
throughout  your  generations. 

22  1  And  when  ye  reap  the 
harvest  of  your  land,  thou  shalt 
not  make  clean  riddance  of  the 


corners  of  thy  field  when  thou 
reapest,  neither  shalt  thou  gath- 
er any  gleaning  of  thy  harvest 
thou  shalt  leave  them  unto  the 
poor,  and  to  the  stranger :  I  am

23  II And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'geg,  saying, 

24  'Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Ig'ra-el,  saying,  In  the  seventh 
month,  in  the  first  day  of  the

ets, an  holy  convocation. 

25  Ye  shall  do  no  servile  work 
therein :  but  ye  shall  offer  an 
offering  made  by  fire  unto  the 
Lord. 

26  f  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'geg,  saying, 

27  Also  on  the  tenth  day  of 
this  seventh  month  there  snail 
be  a  day  of  atonement :  it  shall 
be  an  holy  convocation  unto 
you;  and  ye  shall  afflict  your 
souls,  and  offer  an  offering  made 
by  fire  unto  the  Lord. 

28  And  ye  shall  do  no  work  in 
that  same  day:  for  it  is  a  day 
of  atonement,  to  make  an  atone- 
ment for  you  before  the  Lord 
your  God. 

29  For  whatsoever  soul  it  be 
that  shall  not  be  afflicted  in  that 
same  day,  he  shall  be  cut  off 
from  among  his  people. 

30  And  whatsoever  soul  it  be 
that  doeth  any  work  in  that 
same  day,  the  same  soul  will  I 
destroy  from  among  his  people. 

31  Ye  shall  do  no  manner  of 
work:  it  shall  be  a  statute  for 
ever  throughout  your  genera- 
tions in  all  your  dwellings. 

32  It  shall  be  unto  you  a  sab- 
bath of  rest,  and  ye  snail  afflict 
your  souls :  in  the  ninth  day  of 
the  month  at  even,  from  even 
unto  even,  shall  ye  celebrate 
your  sabbath. 

33  IfAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
M6'sea,  saying, 

34  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  saying,  The  fifteenth 
day  of  this  seventh  month  shall 
be  the  feast  of  tabernacles  for 
seven  days  unto  the  Lord. 

35  On  the  first  day  shall  be 
an  holy  convocation:  ye  shall 
do  no  servile  work  therein. 

36  Seven  days  ye  shall  offer 
an  offering  made  by  fire  unto 
the  Lord:  on  the  eighth  day 
shall  be  an  holy  convocation 
unto  you ;  and  ye  shall  offer  an 
offering  made  by  fire  unto  the 
Lord  :  it  is  a  solemn  assembly ; 
and  ye  shall  do  no  servile  work 
therein. 

37  These  are  the  feasts  of  the 
Lord,  which  ye  shall  proclaim

the  Lord,  a  burnt  offering,  and

38  Beside  the  sabbaths  of  the

beside  all  your  vows,  and  beside 
all  your  freewill  offerings, 
which  ye  give  unto  the  Lord. 

39  Also  in  the  fifteenth  day  of

unto  the  LORD  seven  days:  on

40  And  ye  shall  take  you  on 
the  first  day  the  boughs  of  good- 
ly trees,  branches  of  palm  trees, 
and  the  boughs  of  thick  trees, 
and  willows  of  the  brook ;  and 
ye  shall  rejoice  before  the  Lord

41  And  ye  shall  keep  it  a  feast 
unto  the  Lord  seven  days  in  the 
year.  It  shall  be  a  statute  for 
ever  in  your  generations:  ye 
shall  celebrate  it  in  the  seventh 
month. 

42  Ye  shall  dwell  in  booths 
seven  days ;  all  that  are  Ig'ra-el- 
ites  born  shall  dwell  in  booths : 

43  That  your  generations  may 
know  that  I  made  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  to  dwell  in  booths, 
when  I  brought  them  out  of  the

of  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  24 

The  oU  for  the  lamp*.  5  The  shew- 
bread.  10  Shelomith'r  eon  blasphe- 
meth. 17  Of  murder.  23  The  blas- 
phemer atoned. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'ses,  saying, 

2  Command  the  children  of 
la'ra-el,  that  they  bring  unto 
thee  pure  oil  olive  beaten  for 
the  light,  to  cause  the  lamps  to 
burn  continually. 

3  Without  the  vail  of  the  tes- 
timony, in  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  shall  AaVon  order 
it  from  the  evening  unto  the 
morning  before  the  Lord  con- 
tinually: it  shall  be  a  statute 
for  ever  in  your  generations. 

4  He  shall  order  the  lamps 
upon  the  pure  candlestick  be- 
fore the  Lord  continually. 

5  ITAnd  thou  ahalt  take  fine 
flour,  and  bake  twelve  cakes 
thereof:  two  tenth  deals  shall 
be  in  one  cake. 

6  And  thou  shalt  set  them  in 


two  rows,  six  on  a  row,  upon 
the  pure  table  before  the  Lord. 

7  And  thou  shalt  put  pure 
frankincense  upon  each  row, 
that  it  may  be  on  the  bread  for 
a  memorial,  even  an  offering 
made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord. 

8  Every  sabbath  he  shall  set  it 
in  order  before  the  Lord  contin- 
ually, being  taken  from  the  chil- 
dren of  lgfra-el  by  an  everlast- 
ing covenant 

9  And  it  shall  be  AarWs  and 
his  sons' ;  and  they  shall  eat  it 
in  the  holy  place :  for  it  is  most 
holy  unto  him  of  the  offerings 
of  the  Lord  made  by  fire  by  a 
perpetual  statute. 

10  ITAnd  the  son  of  an  Is/ra- 
el-it-ish  woman,  whose  father 
was  an  £-gfp'tian,  went  out 
among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el: 
and  this  son  of  the  Is/ra-el-it-Ish 
woman  and  a  man  of  ls/ra-el 
strove  together  in  the  camp ; 

11  And  the  Ig'ra-el-it-ish  wom- 
an's son  blasphemed  the  name 
of  the  LORD,  and  cursed.  And 
they  brought  him  unto  Mo'seg: 
(and  his  mother's  name  was 
SheTo-mith,  the  daughter  of 
DIb'ri,  of  the  tribe  of  Dan:) 

12  And  they  put  him  in  ward, 
that  the  mind  of  the  Lord 
might  be  shewed  them. 

13  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'seg,  saying, 

14  Bring  forth  him  that  hath 
cursed  without  the  camp;  and 
let  all  that  heard  him  lay  their 
hands  upon  his  head,  and  let  all 
the  congregation  stone  him. 

15  And  thou  shalt  speak  unto 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  savin*, 
Whosoever  curse th  his  God  shall 
bear  his  sin. 

16  And  he  that  blasphemeth 
the  name  of  the  Lord,  he  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death,  and  all 
the  congregation  shall  certainly 
stone  him:  as  well  the  stran- 

;er,  as  he  that  is  born  in  the 
ind,  when  he  blasphemeth  the 

name  of  the  Lord,  shall  be  put 

to  death. 

17  And  he  that  killeth  any 
man  shall  surely  be  put  to  death. 

18  And  he  that  killeth  a  beast 
shall  make  it  good;  beast  for 
beast 

19  And  if  a  man  cause  a  blem- 
ish in  his  neighbour ;  as  he  hath 
done,  so  shall  it  be  done  to  him ; 

20  Breach  for  breach,  eye  for 
eye,  tooth  for  tooth :  as  he  hath 
caused  a  blemish  in  a  man,  so 
shall  it  be  done  to  him  again. 

21  And  he  that  killeth  a  beast 
he  shall  restore  it :  and  he  that 
killeth  a  man,  he  shall  be  put  to 
death.

iuWfos.  14  Qf  oppression.  18  A 
Messing  of  obedience.  47  Ctf  re-

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
M5'se&  in  mount  Si'n&i,  say- 
ing, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Ig'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them,  When 
ye  come  into  the  land  which  I 
give  you,  then  shall  the  land 
keep  a  sabbath  unto  the  Lord. 

3  Six  years  thou  shalt  sow  thy 
field,  and  six  years  thou  shaft 
prune  thy  vineyard,  and  gather 
in  the  fruit  thereof ; 

4  But  in  the  seventh  year  shall 
be  a  sabbath  of  rest  unto  the 
land,  a  sabbath  for  the  Lord: 
thou  shalt  neither  sow  thy  field, 
nor  prune  thy  vineyard. 

5  That  which  groweth  of  its 
own  accord  of  thy  harvest  thou 
shalt  not  reap,  neither  gather 
the  grapes  of  thy  vine  un- 
dressed: for  it  is  a  year  of  rest 
unto  the  land. 

6  And  the  sabbath  of  the  land 
shall  be  meat  for  you;  for  thee, 
and  for  thy  servant,  and  for  thy 
maid,  and  for  thy  hired  servant, 
and  for  thy  stranger  that  so* 
journeth  with  thee, 

I  And  for  thy  cattle,  and  for 
the  beast  that  are  in  thy  land, 
shall  all  the  increase  thereof  be 
meat. 

8  IT  And  thou  shalt  number 
seven  sabbaths  of  years  unto 
thee,  seven  times  seven  years; 
and  the  space  of  the  seven  sab- 
baths of  years  shall  be  unto  thee 
forty  and  nine  years. 

9  Then  shalt  thou  cause  the 
trumpet  of  the  jubile  to  sound 
on  the  tenth  day  of  the  seventh 
month,  in  the  day  of  atonement 
shall  ye  make  the  trumpet  sound 
throughout  all  your  land. 

10  And  ye  shall  hallow  the  fif- 
tieth year,  and  proclaim  liberty 
throughout  all  the  land  unto  all 
the  inhabitants  thereof :  it  shall 
be  a  jubile  unto  you;  and  ye 
shall  return  every  man  unto  his 
possession,  and  ye  shall  return 
every  man  untq  his  family. 

II  A  jubile  shall  that  fiftieth 
year  be  unto  you :  ye  shall  not 


sow,  neither  reap  that  which 
groweth  of  itself  m  it,  nor  gath- 
er the  grapes  in  it  of  thy  vine 
undressed. 

12  For  it  is  the  jubile ;  it  shall 
be  holy  unto  you:  ye  shall  eat 
the  increase  thereof  out  of  the 
field. 

13  In  the  year  of  this  jubile  ye 
shall  return  every  man  unto  his 
possession. 

14  And  if  thou  sell  ought  unto 
thy  neighbour,  or  buyest  ought 
of  thy  neighbour's  hand,  ye  shall 
not  oppress  one  another: 

15  According  to  the  number  of 
years  after  the  jubile  thou  shalt 
buy  of  thy  neighbour,  and  ac- 
cording unto  the  number  of 
years  of  the  fruits  he  shall  sell 
unto  thee: 

16  According  to  the  multitude 
of  years  thou  shalt  increase  the 
price  thereof,  and  according  to 
the  fewness  of  years  thou  shalt 
diminish  the  pnce  of  it:  for  ac- 
cording to  the  number  of  the 
years  of  the  fruits  doth  he  sell 
unto  thee. 

17  Ye  shall  not  therefore  op- 
press one  another ;  but  thou  shalt 
fear  thy  God:  for  I  am  the  Lord 
your  God. 

18  ITWheref  ore  ye  shall  do  my 
statutes,  and  keep  my  judg- 
ments, and  do  them;  and  ye 
shall  dwell  in  the  land  in  safety. 

19  And  the  land  shall  yield  her 
fruit,  and  ye  shall  eat  your  fill, 
and  dwell  therein  in  safety. 

20  And  if  ye  shall  say,  What 
shall  we  eat  the  seventh  year? 
behold,  we  shall  not  sow,  nor 
gather  in  our  increase : 

21  Then  I  will  command  my 
blessing  upon  you  in  the  sixth 
year,  and  it  shall  bring  forth 
fruit  for  three  years. 

22  And  ye  shall  sow  the  eighth 
year,  and  eat  yet  of  old  fruit 
until  the  ninth  year;  until  her 
fruits  come  in  ye  shall  eat  of 
the  old  store. 

23  HThe  land  shall  not  be  sold 
for  ever:  for  the  land  is  mine; 
for  ye  are  strangers  and  sojour- 
ners with  me. 

24  And  in  all  the  land  of  your 
possession  ye  shall  grant  a  re- 
demption for  the  land. 

25  TO  thy  brother  be  waxen 
poor,  and  hath  sold  away  some 
of  his  possession,  and  if  any  of 
his  kin  come  to  redeem  it,  then 
shall  he  redeem  that  which  his 
brother  sold. 

26  And  if  the  man  have  none 
to  redeem  it,  and  himself  be  able 
to  redeem  it ; 

27  Then  let  him  count  the

32  Notwithstanding  the  cities 
of  the  Le'vites,  and  the  houses 
of  the  cities  of  their  possession, 
may  the  Le'vites  redeem  at  any 
time. 

33  And  if  a  man  purchase  of 
the  Le'vites,  then  the  house  that 
was  sold,  and  the  city  of  his 
possession,  shall  go  out  in  the 
year  of jubile:  for  the  houses 
of  the  cities  of  the  Le'vites  are 
their  possession  among  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el. 

34  But  the  field  of  the  suburbs 
of  their  cities  may  not  be  sold ; 
for  it  is  their  perpetual  posses- 
sion. 

35  %  And  if  thy  brother  be 
waxen  poor,  and  fallen  in  decay 
with  thee;  then  thou  shalt  re- 
lieve him :  yea,  though  he  be  a 
stranger,  or  a  sojourner;  that 
he  may  live  with  thee. 

36  Take  thou  no  usury  of  him, 
or  increase :  but  fear  thy  God ; 
that  thy  brother  may  live  with 
thee. 

37  Thou  shalt  not  give  him 
thy  money  upon  usury,  nor  lend 
him  thy  victuals  for  increase. 

38  I  am  the  Lord  your  God, 
which  brought  you  forth  out  of 
the  land  of  E'gypt,  to  give  you 
the  land  of  Ca'n&an,  and  to  be 
your  God. 

39  f  And  if  thy  brother  that 
dwelleth  by  thee  be  waxen  poor, 
and  be  sold  unto  thee;  thou 
shalt  not  compel  him  to  serve 
as  a  bondservant : 

40  But  as  an  hired  servant, 
and  as  a  sojourner,  he  shall  be 


with  thee,  and  shall  serve  thee 
unto  the  year  of  jubile : 

41  And  then  shall  he  depart 
from  thee,  both  he  and  his  chil- 
dren with  him,  and  shall  return 
unto  his  own  family,  and  unto 
the  possession  of  his  fathers 
shall  he  return. 

42  For  they  are  my  servants, 
which  I  brought  forth  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gjfpt :  they  shall  not 
be  sold  as  bondmen. 

43  Thou  shalt  not  rule  over 
him  with  rigour ;  but  shalt  fear 
thy  God. 

44  Both  thy  bondmen,  and  thy 
bondmaids,  which  thou  shaft 
have,  shall  be  of  the  heathen 
that  are  round  about  you;  of 
them  shall  ye  buy  bondmen  and 
bondmaids. 

45  Moreover  of  the  children  of 
the  strangers  that  do  sojourn 
among  you,  of  them  shall  ye 
buy,  and  of  their  families  that 
are  with  you,  which  they  begat 
in  your  land :  and  they  shall  be 
your  possession. 

46  And  ye  shall  take  them  as 
an  inheritance  for  your  children 
after  you,  to  inherit  them  for  a 
possession ;  they  shall  be  your 
bondmen  for  ever:  but  over 
your  brethren  the  children  of 
fg'ra-el,  ye  shall  not  rule  one 
over  another  with  rigour. 

47  IT  And  if  a  sojourner  or 
stranger  wax  rich  by  thee,  and 
thy  brother  that  dwelleth  by 
him  wax  poor,  and  sell  himself 
unto  the  stranger  or  sojourner 
by  thee,  or  to  the  stock  of  the 
stranger's  family: 

48  After  that  he  is  sold  he  may 
be  redeemed  again ;  one  of  his 
brethren  may  redeem  him : 

49  Either  his  uncle,  or  his  un- 
cle's son,  may  redeem  him,  or 
any  that  is  nigh  of  kin  unto 
him  of  his  family  may  redeem 
him ;  or  if  he  be  able,  he  may 
redeem  himself. 

50  And  he  shall  reckon  with 
him  that  bought  him  from  the 
year  that  he  was  sold  to  him  un- 
to the  year  of  jubile :  and  the 
price  of  his  sale  shall  be  accord- 
ing unto  the  number  of  years, 
according  to  the  time  of  an  hired 
servant  snail  it  be  with  him. 

51  If  there  be  yet  many  years 
behind,  according  unto  them  he 
shall  give  again  the  price  of  his 
redemption  out  of  the  money 
that  he  was  bought  for. 

52  And  if  there  remain  but 
few  years  unto  the  year  of  ju- 
bile, then  he  shall  count  with 
him,  and  according  unto  his 
years  shall  he  give  him  again 
the  price  of  his  redemption.

53  And  as  a  yearly  hired  serv- 
ant shall  he  be  with  him :  and 
the  other  shall  not  rule  with 
rigour  over  him  in  thy  sight. 

54  And  if  he  be  not  redeemed 
in  these  years,  then  he  shall  go 
out  in  the  year  of  jubile,  both 
he,  and  his  children  with  him. 

55  For  unto  me  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el  are  servants;  they  are 
my  servants  whom  I  brought 
forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt : 
I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

CHAPTER  26 


Of  idolatry.  2  Of  religiousness.  3  A 
blessing  to  the  obedient.  14  A  curve 
to  the  disobedient.  40  A  promise  to 
the  penitent. 

YE  shall  make  you  no  idols 
nor  graven  image,  neither 
rear  you  up  a  standing  image, 
neither  shall  ye  set  up  any  im- 
age of  stone  in  your  land,  to 
bow  down  unto  it:  for  I  am 
the  Lord  your  God. 

2  Ye  shall  keep  my  sabbaths, 
and  reverence  my  sanctuary :  I 
am  the  Lord. 

3  IFIf  ye  walk  in  my  statutes, 
and  keep  my  commandments, 
and  do  them; 

4  Then  I  will  give  you  rain  in 
due  season,  and  the  land  shall 
yield  her  increase,  and  the 
trees  of  the  field  shall  yield 
their  fruit 

5  And  your  threshing  shall 
reach  unto  the  vintage,  and  the 
vintage  shall  reach  unto  the 
sowing  time :  and  ye  shall  eat 
your  oread  to  the  full,  and 
dwell  in  your  land  safely. 

6  And  I  will  give  peace  in  the 
land,  and  ye  shall  he  down,  and 
none  shall  make  you  afraid: 
and  I  will  rid  evil  beasts  out 
of  the  land,  neither  shall  the 
sword  go  through  your  land. 

7  Ana  ye  shall  chase  your  ene- 
mies, and  they  shall  fall  before 
you  by  the  sword. 

8  And  five  of  you  shall  chase 
an  hundred,  and  an  hundred  of 
you  shall  put  ten  thousand  to 
flight:  and  your  enemies  shall 
fall  before  you  by  the  sword. 

9  For  I  will  have  respect  unto 
you,  and  make  you  fruitful,  and 
multiply  you,  and  establish  my 
covenant  with  you. 

10  And  ye  shall  eat  old  store, 
and  bring  forth  the  old  because 
of  the  new. 

11  And  I  will  set  my  taber- 
nacle among  you :  and  my  soul 
shall  not  abhor  you. 

12  And  I  will  walk  among  vou, 
and  will  be  your  God,  and  ye 
shall  be  my  people. 

13  I  am  the  Lord  your  God, 
which  brought  you  forth  out 


of  the  land  of  ETg^pt,  that  ye 
should  not  be  their  bondmen; 
and  I  have  broken  the  bands  of 
your  yoke,  and  made  you  go  up- 
right 

14  HBut  if  ye  will  not  hearken 
unto  me,  and  will  not  do  all 
these  commandments; 

15  And  if  ye  shall  despise  my 
statutes,  or  if  your  soul  abhor 
my  judgments,  so  that  ye  will 
not  do  all  my  commandments, 
but  that  ye  break  my  covenant : 

16  I  also  will  do  this  unto  you ; 
I  will  even  appoint  over  you 
terror,  consumption,  and  the 
burning  ague,  that  shall  con- 
sume the  eyes,  and  cause  sor- 
row of  heart :  and  ye  shall  sow 
your  seed  in  vain,  for  your  ene- 
mies shall  eat  it 

17  And  I  will  set  my  face 
against  you,  and  ye  shall  be 
slain  before  your  enemies :  they 
that  hate  you  shall  reign  over 
you;  and  ye  shall  flee  when 
none  pursueth  you. 

18  And  if  ye  will  not  yet  for 
all  this  hearken  unto  me,  then 
I  will  punish  you  seven  times 
more  for  your  sins. 

19  And  I  will  break  the  pride 
of  your  power ;  and  I  will  make 
your  heaven  as  iron,  and  your 
earth  as  brass: 

20  And  your  strength  shall  be 
spent  in  vain:  for  your  land 
snail  not  yield  her  increase,  nei- 
ther shall  the  trees  of  the  land 
yield  their  fruits. 

21  And  if  ye  walk  contrary  un- 
to me,  and  will  not  hearken  un- 
to me ;  I  will  bring  seven  times 
more  plagues  upon  you  accord- 
ing to  your  sins. 

22  I  will  also  send  wild  beasts 
among  you,  which  shall  rob  you 
of  your  children,  and  destroy 
vour  cattle,  and  make  vou  few 
in  number ;  and  your  high  ways 
shall  be  desolate.  • 

23  And  if  ye  will  not  be  re- 
formed by  me  by  these  things, 
but  will  walk  contrary  unto  me ; 

24  Then  will  I  also  walk  con- 
trary unto  you,  and  will  punish 
you  yet  seven  times  for  your 
sins. 

25  And  I  will  bring  a  sword 
upon  you,  that  shall  avenge  the 
quarrel  of  my  covenant:  and 
when  ye  are  gathered  together 
within  your  cities,  I  will  send 
the  pestilence  among  you ;  and 
ve  shall  be  delivered  into  the 
hand  of  the  enemy. 

26  And  when  I  have  broken  the 
staff  of  your  bread,  ten  women 
shall  bake  your  bread  in  one 
oven,  and  they  shall  deliver  you 
your  bread  again  by  weight:

and  ye  shall  eat,  and  not  be  sat- 
isfied. 

27  And  if  ye  will  not  for  all 
this  hearken  unto  me,  but  walk 
contrary  unto  me ; 

28  Then  I  will  walk  contrary 
unto  you  also  in  fury ;  and  t 
even  I,  will  chastise  you  seven 
times  for  your  sins. 

29  And  ye  shall  eat  the  flesh  of 
your  sons,  and  the  flesh  of  your 
daughters  shall  ye  eat 

30  And  I  will  destroy  your  high 
places,  and  cut  down  your  im- 
ages, and  cast  your  carcases  up- 
on the  carcases  of  your  idols, 
and  my  soul  shall  abhor  you. 

31  And  I  will  make  your  cities 
waste,  and  bring  your  sanctua- 
ries unto  desolation,  and  I  will 
not  smell  the  savour  of  your 
sweet  odours. 

32  And  I  will  bring  the  land 
into  desolation:  and  your  ene- 
mies which  dwell  therein  shall 
be  astonished  at  it 

33  And  I  will  scatter  you 
among  the  heathen,  and  will 
draw  out  a  sword  after  you :  and 
your  land  shall  be  desolate,  and 
your  cities  waste. 

34  Then  shall  the  land  enjoy 
her  sabbaths,  as  long  as  it  lieth 
desolate,  and  ye  be  in  your  ene- 
mies' land ;  even  then  shall  the 
land  rest  and  enjoy  her  sab- 
baths. 

35  As  long  as  it  lieth  desolate 
it  shall  rest ;  because  it  did  not 
rest  in  your  sabbaths,  when  ye 
dwelt  upon  it 

36  And  upon  them  that  are  left 
alive  of  you  I  will  send  a  faint- 
ness  into  their  hearts  in  the 
lands  of  their  enemies ;  and  the 
sound  of  a  shaken  leaf  shall 
chase  them ;  and  they  shall  flee, 
as  fleeing  from  a  sword;  and 
they  shall  fall  when  none  pur- 
sueth. 

37  And  they  shall  fall  one  up- 
on another,  as  it  were  before  a 
sword,  when  none  pursueth :  and 
ye  shall  have  no  power  to  stand 
before  your  enemies. 

38  And  ye  shall  perish  among 
the  heathen,  and  the  land  of  your 
enemies  shall  eat  you  up. 

39  And  they  that  are  left  of 
you  shall  pine  away  in  their  in- 
iquity in  your  enemies'  lands; 
and  also  in  the  iniquities  of  their 
fathers  shall  they  pine  away 
with  them. 

40  If  they  shall  confess  their 
iniquity,  and  the  iniquity  of 
their  fathers,  with  their  trespass 
which  they  trespassed  against 
me,  and  that  also  they  have 
walked  contrary  unto  me; 

41  And  that  I  also  have  walked 


contrary  unto  them,  and  have 
brought  them  into  the  land  of 
their  enemies ;  if  then  their  un- 
circumcised  hearts  be  humbled, 
and  they  then  accept  of  the  pun- 
ishment of  their  iniquity : 

42  Then  will  I  remember  my 
covenant  with  J&'cob,  and  also 
my  covenant  with  I'saac,  and 
also  my  covenant  with  Abra- 
ham will  I  remember ;  and  I  will 
remember  the  land. 

43  The  land  also  shall  be  left 
of  them,  and  shall  enjoy  her 
sabbaths,  while  she  lieth  deso- 
late without  them:  and  they 
shall  accept  of  the  punishment 
of  their  iniquity :  because,  even 
because  they  despised  my  judg- 
ments, and  because  their  soul 
abhorred  my  statutes. 

44  And  yet  for  all  that  when 
they  be  in  the  land  of  their  ene- 
mies, I  will  not  cast  them  away, 
neither  will  I  abhor  them,  to 
destroy  them  utterly,  and  to 
break  my  covenant  with  them : 
for  I  am  the  Lord  their  God. 

45  But  I  will  for  their  sakes  re- 
member the  covenant  of  their 
ancestors,  whom  I  brought  forth 
out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  in  the 
sight  of  the  heathen,  that  I 
might  be  their  God :  I  am  the 
Lord. 

46  These  are  the  statutes  and 
judgments  and  laws,  which  the 
Lord  made  between  him  and  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el  in  mount 
Si'nSi  by  the  hand  of  Md'seg. 

CHAPTER  27 

Concerning  vows.  26  Of  the  Lord's 
firstlings.  28  No  devoted  thing  may 
be  redeemed,  30  The  tithe  may  not 
be  changed. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'geg,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Ig'rail,  and  say  unto  them, 
When  a  man  shall  make  a  sin- 
gular vow,  the  persons  shall 
be  for  the  Lord  by  thy  esti- 
mation. 

3  And  thy  estimation  shall  be 
of  the  male  from  twenty  years 
old  even  unto  sixty  years  old, 
even  thy  estimation  shall  be 
fifty  shekels  of  silver,  after  the 
shekel  of  the  sanctuary. 

4  And  if  it  be  a  female,  then 
thy  estimation  shall  be  thirty 
shekels. 

5  And  if  it  be  from  five  years 
old  even  unto  twenty  years  old, 
then  thy  estimation  shall  be  of 
the  male  twenty  shekels,  and  for 
the  female  ten  shekels. 

6  And  if  it  be  from  a  month 
old  even  unto  five  years  old, 
then  thy  estimation  shall  be  of 
the  male  five  shekels  of  silver,

and  for  the  female  thy  estima-

silver. 

7  And  Hit  be  from  sixty  years 
old  and  above ;  if  it  be  a  male, 
then  thy  estimation  shall  be  fif- 
teen shekels,  and  for  the  female 
ten  shekels. 

8  Bat  if  he  be  poorer  than  thy 
estimation,  then  he  shall  pre- 
sent himself  before  the  priest, 
and  the  priest  shall  value  him ; 
according  to  his  ability  that 
vowed  shall  the  priest  value 
him. 

9  And  if  it  be  a  beast,  whereof 
men  bring  an  offering  unto  the 
Lord,  all  that  any  man  giveth 
of  such  unto  the  Lord  shall  be 
holy. 

10  He  shall  not  alter  it,  nor 
change  it,  a  good  for  a  bad,  or  a 
bad  for  a  good :  and  if  he  shall 
at  all  change  beast  for  beast,  then 
it  and  the  exchange  thereof  shall 
be  holy. 

11  And  if  it  be  any  unclean 
beast,  of  which  they  do  not  offer 
a  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord,  then 
he  shall  present  the  beast  before 
the  priest: 

12  And  the  priest  shall  value 
it,  whether  it  be  good  or  bad :  as 
thou  valuest  it,  who  art  the 
priest,  so  shall  it  be. 

13  But  if  he  will  at  all  re- 
deem it,  then  he  shall  add  a 
fifth  part  thereof  unto  thy  esti- 
mation. 

14  IFAnd  when  a  man  shall 
sanctify  his  house  to  be  holy  un- 
to the  Lord,  then  the  priest  shall 
estimate  it,  whether  it  be  good 
or  bad :  as  the  priest  shall  esti- 
mate it,  so  shall  it  stand. 

15  And  if  he  that  sanctified  it 
will  redeem  his  house,  then  he 
shall  add  the  fifth  part  of  the 
money  of  thy  estimation  unto 
it,  and  it  shall  be  his. 

16  And  if  a  man  shall  sanctify 
unto  the  Lord  some  part  of  a 
field  of  his  possession,  then  thy 
estimation  shall  be  according  to 
the  seed  thereof:  an  homer  of 
barley  seed  shall  be  valued  at 
fifty  shekels  of  silver. 

17  If  he  sanctify  his  field  from 
the  year  of  jubile,  according  to 
thy  estimation  it  shall  stand. 

18  But  if  he  sanctify  his  field 
after  the  jubile,  then  the  priest 
shall  reckon  unto  him  the  money 
according  to  the  years  that  re- 
main, even  unto  the  year  of  the 
jubile,  and  it  shall  be  abated 
from  thy  estimation. 

19  And  if  he  that  sanctified  the 
field  will  in  any  wise  redeem  it, 
then  he  shall  add  the  fifth  part 
of  the  money  of  thy  estimation 


unto  it,  and  it  shall  be  assured 
to  him. 

20  And  if  he  will  not  redeem 
the  field,  or  if  he  have  sold  the 
field  to  another  man,  it  shall  not 
be  redeemed  any  more. 

21  But  the  field,  when  it  goeth 
out  in  the  jubile,  shall  be  holy 
unto  the  Lord,  as  a  field  de- 
voted; the  possession  thereof 
shall  be  the  priest's. 

22  And  if  a  man  sanctify  unto 
the  Lord  a  field  which  he  hath, 
bought,  which  is  not  of  the  fields 
of  his  possession ; 

23  Then  the  priest  shall  reck- 
on unto  him  the  worth  of 
thy  estimation,  even  unto  the 
year  of  the  jubile:  and  he  shall 

§ive  thine  estimation  m  that 
ay,  as  a  holy  thing  unto  the 
Lord. 

24  In  the  year  of  the  jubile 
the  field  shall  return  unto  him  of 
whom  it  was  bought,  even  to 
him  to  whom  the  possession  of 
the  land  did  belong. 

25  And  all  thy  estimations  shall 
be  according  to  the  shekel  of 
the  sanctuary:  twenty  gerahs 
shall  be  the  shekel. 

26  ITOnly  the  firstling  of  the 
beasts,  which  should  be  the 
Lord's  firstling,  no  man  shall 
sanctify  it;  whether  it  be  ox, 
or  sheep :  it  is  the  Lord's. 

27  And  if  it  be  of  an  unclean 
beast,  then  he  shall  redeem  it 
according  to  thine  estimation, 
and  shall  add  a  fifth  part  of  it 
thereto :  or  if  it  be  not  redeemed, 
then  it  shall  be  sold  according 
to  thy  estimation. 

28  Notwithstanding  no  devoted 
thing,  that  a  man  shall  devote 
unto  the  Lord  of  all  that  he 
hath,  both  of  man  and  beast,  and 
of  the  field  of  his  possession, 
shall  be  sold  or  redeemed :  every 
devoted  thing  is  most  holy  unto 
the  Lord. 

29  None  devoted,  which  shall 
be  devoted  of  men,  shall  be  re- 
deemed; but  shall  surely  be  put 
to  death. 

30  And  all  the  tithe  of  the  land, 
whether  of  the  seed  of  the  land, 
or  of  the  fruit  of  the  tree,  is 
the  Lord's  :  it  is  holy  unto  the 
Lord. 

31  And  if  a  man  will  at  all  re- 
deem ought  of  his  tithes,  he 
shall  add  thereto  the  fifth  part 
thereof. 

32  And  concerning  the  tithe  of 
the  herd,  or  of  the  flock,  even  of 
whatsoever  passeth  under  the 
rod,  the  tenth  shall  be  holy  un- 
to the  Lord. 

33  He  shall  not  search  whether 
it  be  good  or  bad,  neither  shall

49  Only  thou  shalt  not  num- 
ber the  tribe  of  Le'vi,  neither 
take  the  sum  of  them  among  the 
children  of  Ig'ra-el : 

50  But  thou  shalt  appoint  the 
Le'vites  over  the  tabernacle  of 
testimony,  and  over  all  the  ves- 
sels thereof,  and  over  all  things 
that  belong  to  it:  they  shall 
bear  the  tabernacle,  and  all  the 
vessels  thereof;  and  they  shall 
minister  unto  it,  and  shall  en- 
camp round  about  the  taberna- 
cle. 

51  And  when  the  tabernacle 
setteth  forward,  the  Le'vites 
shall  take  it  down :  and  when 
the  tabernacle  is  to  be  pitched, 
the  Le'vites  shall  set  it  up:  and

THESE  also  are  the  genera- 
tions of  Aar'on  and  M5'se§ 
in  the  day  that  the  Lord  spake 
with  Mo'ges  in  mount  Si'nai. 

2  And  these  are  the  names  of 
the  sons  of  Aar'on ;  Na'dab  the 
firstborn,  and  A-bUni,  £-le-a'zar, 
and  Ith'a-mar. 

3  These  are  the  names  of  the 
sons  of  Aar'on,  the  priests  which 
were  anointed,  whom  he  conse- 
crated to  minister  in  the  priest's 
office. 

4  And  Na'dab  and  A-brhu  died 
before  the  Lord,  when  they  of- 
fered strange  fire  before  the 


Lord,  in  the  wilderness  of  Si' 
nai,  and  they  had  no  children : 
and  E-le-a'zar  and  Ith'a-mar  min- 
istered in  the  priest's  office  in 
the  sight  of  Aar'on  their  father. 

5  HAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'seg,  saying, 

6  Bring  the  tribe  of  LS'vi  near, 
and  present  them  before  Aar'on 
the  priest,  that,  they  may  min- 
ister unto  him. 

7  And  they  shall  keep  his 
charge,  and  the  charge  of  the 
whole  congregation  before  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
to  do  the  service  of  the  taber- 
nacle. 

8  And  they  shall  keen  all  the 
instruments  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation,  and  the 
charge  of  the  children  of  Is/ra- 
el,  to  do  the  service  of  the  tab- 
ernacle. 

9  And  thou  shalt  give  the  L€'- 
vites  unto  Aar'on  and  to  his 
sons:  they  are  wholly  given 
unto  him  out  of  the  children  of 
ls'ra-el. 

10  And  thou  shalt  appoint 
Aar'on  and  his  sons,  and  they 
shall  wait  on  their  priesfs 
office:  and  the  stranger  that 
cometh  nigh  shall  be  put  to 
death. 

11  If  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'seg,  saving, 

12  And  I,  behold,  I  have  taken 
the  Le'vites  from  among  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  instead  of 
all  the  firstborn  that  openeth 
the  matrix  among  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el:  therefore  the  Le'- 
vites shall  be  mine ; 

13  Because  all  the  firstborn 
are  mine ;  for  on  the  day  that 
I  smote  all  the  firstborn  in  the 
land  of  E'feypt  I  hallowed  unto 
me  all  the  firstborn  in  Is'ra-el, 
both  man  and  beast :  mine  shall 
they  be :  I  am  the  Lord. 

14  1f  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'geg  in  the  wilderness  of  Si' 
nai,  saying, 

15  Number  the  children  of  Le'- 
vi  after  the  house  of  their  fa- 
thers, by  their  families:  every 
male  from  a  month  old  and  up- 
ward shalt  thou  number  them. 

16  And  Mo'seg  numbered  them 
according  to  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  as  he  was  commanded. 

17  And  these  were  the  sons  of 
Le'vi  by  their  names ;  Ger'shSn, 
and  KS'hath,  and  Me-ra'ri. 

18  And  these  are  the  names  of

the  Kohathites,  38  of  the  Gershon- 
ites,  42  and  of  the  Meraritee. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'ses.   and   unto  Aar'on, 
saying, 

2  Take  the  sum  of  the  sons  of 
Kdliath  from  among  the  sons  of 
Le"vi,  after  their  families,  by  the 
house  of  their  fathers, 

3  From  thirty  years  old  and 
upward  even  until  fifty  years 
old,  all  that  enter  into  the  host, 
to  do  the  work  in  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation. 

4  IFThis  shall  be  the  service 
of  the  sons  of  KSTiath  in  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
about  the  most  holy  things : 

5  And  when  the  camp  setteth 
forward,  AaVon  shall  come,  and 
his  sons,  and  they  shall  take 
down  the  covering  vail,  and 
cover  the  ark  of  testimony  with 
it: 

6  And  shall  put  thereon  the 
covering  of  badgers'  skins,  and 
shall  spread  over  it  a  cloth 
wholly  of  blue,  and  shall  put 
in  the  staves  thereof. 

7  And  upon  the  table  of  shew- 
bread  they  shall  spread  a  cloth 
of  blue,  and  put  thereon  the 
dishes,  and  the  spoons,  and  the 
bowls,  and  covers  to  cover  with- 
al :  and  the  continual  bread  shall 
be  thereon : 


8  And  they  shall  spread  upon 
them  a  clpth  of  scarlet,  and  cov- 
er the  same  with  a  covering  of 
badgers'  skins,  and  shall  put  in 
the  staves  thereof. 

9  And  they  shall  take  a  cloth 
of  blue,  and  cover  the  candle- 
stick of  the  light,  and  his  lamps, 
and  his  tongs,  and  his  snuff- 
dishes,  and  all  the  oil  vessels 
thereof,  wherewith  they  minis- 
ter unto  it : 

10  And  they  shall  put  it  and 
all  the  vessels  thereof  within  a 
covering  of  badgers'  skins,  and 
shall  put  it  upon  a  bar. 

11  And  upon  the  golden  altar 
they  shall  spread  a  cloth  of  blue, 
ana  cover  it  with  a  covering  of 
badgers'  skins,  and  shall  put  to 
the  staves  thereof: 

12  And  they  shall  take  all  the 
instruments  of  ministry,  where- 
with they  minister  in  the  sanc- 
tuary, and  put  them  in  a  cloth 
of  blue,  and  cover  them  with  a 
covering  of  badgers'  skins,  and 
shall  put  them  on  a  bar: 

13  And  they  shall  take  away 
the  ashes  from  the  altar,  and 
spread  a  purple  cloth  thereon : 

14  And  they  shall  put  upon  it 
all  the  vessels  thereof,  where- 
with they  minister  about  it,  even 
the  censers,  the  fleshhooks,  and 
the  shovels,  and  the  basons,  all 
the  vessels  of  the  altar ;  and  they 
shall  spread  upon  it  a  covering 
of  badgers'  skins,  and  put  to  the 
staves  of  it 

15  And  when  Aar'on  and  his 
sons  have  made  an  end  of  cov- 
ering the  sanctuary,  and  all  the 
vessels  of  the  sanctuary,  as  the 
camp  is  to  set  forward;  after 
that,  the  sons  of  KsTiath  shall 
come  to  bear  it :  but  they  shall 
not  touch  any  holy  thing,  lest 
they  die.  These  things  are 
the  burden  of  the  sons  of  Ko' 
hath  in  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation. 

16  ITAnd  to  the  office  of  E-Ie-fi'- 
zar  the  son  of  Aar'on  the  priest 
pertaineth  the  oil  for  the  light, 
and  the  sweet  incense,  and  the 
daily  meat  offering,  and  the 
anointing  oil,  and  the  oversight 
of  all  the  tabernacle,  and  of  all 
that  therein  is,  in  the  sanctu- 
ary, and  in  the  vessels  thereof. 

17  If  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'ses  and  unto  Aar'on,  saying, 

18  Cut  ye  not  off  the  tribe  of 
the  families  of  the  Kd"hath«ites 
from  among  the  Le'vites : 

19  But  thus  do  unto  them,  that 
they  may  live,  and  not  die,  when 
they  approach  unto  the  most 
holy  things:  Aar'on  and  his 
sons  shall  go  in,  and  appoint

M5'se&  saying, 

22  Take  also  the  sum  of  the 
sons  of  GeVshon,  throughout 
the  houses  of  their"  fathers,  by 
their  families;

shalt  thou  number  them;  all 
that  enter  in  to  perform  the 
service,  to  do  the  work  in  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

24  This  is  the  service  of  the 
families  of  the  Ger'shon-ites,  to 
serve,  and  for  burdens : 

25  And  they  shall  bear  the  cur- 
tains of  the  tabernacle,  and  the

of  the  badgers'  skins  that  ts

on  and  his  sons  shall  be  all  the 
service  of  the  sons  of  the  Ger'- 
shon-ites, in  all  their  burdens, 
and  in  all  their  service:  and 
ye  shall  appoint  unto  them  in 
charge  all  their  burdens. 

28  This  is  the  service  of  the 
families  of  the  sons  of  GeYshSn 
in  the  tabernacle  of  the  congre- 
gation :  and  their  charge  shall 
be  under  the  hand  of  Ith'a-mar

29  ITAs  for  the  sons  of  MS-ra'ri,

round  about,  and  their  sockets, 
and  their  pins,  and  their  cords, 


with  all  their  instruments,  and

name  ye  shall  reckon  the  in- 
struments of  the  charge  of  their 
burden. 

33  This  is  the  service  of  the 
families  of  the  sons  of  Me-r&'ri,

CHAPTER  5 

The  unclean  to  be  removed  out  of  the 
camp.  5  Restitution  enjoined.  9 
Hallowed  things  belong  to  the  priest. 
11  The  trial  of  jealousy. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MS'ges,  saying, 

2  Command  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el,  that  they  put  out  of  the 
camp  every  leper,  and  every  one 
that  hath  an  issue,  and  whoso- 
ever is  defiled  by  the  dead: 

3  Both  male  and  female  shall 
ye  put  out,  without  the  camp 
shall  ye  put  them ;  that  they  de- 
file not  their  camps,  in  the  midst 
whereof  I  dwell. 

4  And  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
did  so,  and  put  them  out  with- 
out the  camp :  as  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Md'seg,  so  did  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el. 

5  t  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'ses,  saying, 

6  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  When  a  man  or  woman 
shall  commit  any  sin  that  men 
commit,  to  do  a  trespass  against 
the  Lord,  and  that  person  be 
guilty; 

7  Then  they  shall  confess  their 
sin  which  they  have  done :  and 
he  shall  recompense  his  trespass 
with  the  principal  thereof,  and 
add  unto  it  the  fifth  part  there- 
of, and  give  it  unto  him  against 
whom  he  hath  trespassed. 

8  But  if  the  man  have  no  kins- 


man to  recompense  the  trespass 
unto,  let  the  trespass  be  recom- 
pensed unto  the  Lord,  even  to 
the  priest;  beside  the  ram  of 
the  atonement,  whereby  an 
atonement  shall  be  made  for 
him. 

9  And  every  offering  of  all  the 
holy  things  of  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el,  which  they  bring  unto 
the  priest,  shall  be  his. 

10  And  every  man's  hallowed 
things  shall  be  his :  whatsoever 
any  man  giveth  the  priest,  it 
shall  be  his. 

11  ITAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MO'seg,  saying, 

12  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el,  and  say  unto  them,  If 
any  man's  wife  go  aside,  and 
commit  a  trespass  against  him, 

13  And  a  man  lie  with  her  car- 
nally, and  it  be  hid  from  the 
eyes  of  her  husband,  and  be 
kept  close,  and  she  be  defiled, 
and  there  be  no  witness  against 
her,  neither  she  be  taken  with 
the  manner ; 

14  And  the  spirit  of  jealousy 
come  upon  him,  and  he  be  jeal- 
ous of  his  wife,  and  she  be  de- 
filed: or  if  the  spirit  of  jealousy 
come  upon  him,  and  he  be  jeal- 
ous of  his  wife,  and  she  be  not 
defiled: 

15  Then  shall  the  man  bring 
his  wife  unto  thepriest,  and  he 
shall  bring  her  offering  for  her, 
the  tenth  part  of  an  ephah  of 
barley  meal;  he  shall  pour  no 
oil  upon  it,  nor  put  frankincense 
thereon ;  for  it  is  an  offering  of 
jealousy,  an  offering  of  memo- 
rial, bringing  iniquity  to  re- 
membrance. 

16  And  the  priest  shall  bring 
her  near,  and  set  her  before  the 
Lord: 

17  And  the  priest  shall  take 
holy  water  in  an  earthen  vessel ; 
and  of  the  dust  that  is  in  the 
floor  of  the  tabernacle  the  priest 
shall  take,  and  put  it  into  the 
water : 

18  And  the  priest  shall  set  the 
woman  before  the  Lord,  and 
uncover  the  woman's  head,  and 

Sut  the  offering  of  memorial  in 
er  hands,  which  is  the  jealousy 
offering:  and  the  priest  shall 
have  in  his  hand  the  bitter 
water  that  causeth  the  curse 

19  And  the  priest  shall  charge 
her  by  an  oath,  and  say  unto  the 
woman,  If  no  man  have  lain 
with  thee,  and  if  thou  hast  not 
gone  aside  to  uncleanness  with 
another  instead  of  thy  husband, 
be  thou  free  from  this  bitter 
water  that  causeth  the  curse

to  another  instead  of  thy  hus- 
band, and  if  thou  be  defiled,  and 
some  man  have  lain  with  thee 
beside  thine  husband : 

21  Then  the  priest  shall  charge 
the  woman  with  an  oath  of  curs- 
ing, and  the  priest  shall  say  un- 
to the  woman,  The  Lord  make 
thee  a  curse  and  an  oath  among 
thy  people,  when  the  Lord  doth 
make  thy  thigh  to  rot,  and  thy 
belly  to  swell; 

22  And  this  water  that  caus- 
eth  the  curse  shall  go  into  thy 
bowels,  to  make  thy  belly  to 
swell,  and  thy  thigh  to  rot :  And 
the  woman  shall  say,  A-mSn', 
fi-men'. 

23  And  the  priest  shall  write 
these  curses  in  a  book,  and  he 
shall  blot  them  out  with  the 
bitter  water: 

24  And  he  shall  cause  the 
woman  to  drink  the  bitter  water 
that  causeth  the  curse :  and  the 
water  that  causeth  the  curse 
shall  enter  into  her,  and  become 
bitter. 

25  Then  the  priest  shall  take 
the  jealousy  offering  out  of  the 
woman's  hand,  and  shall  wave 
the  offering  before  the  Lord, 
and  offer  it  upon  the  altar : 

26  And  the  priest  shall  take  an 
handful  of  the  offering,  even  the 
memorial  thereof,  and  burn  it 
upon  the  altar,  and  afterward 
shall  cause  the  woman  to  drink 
the  water. 

27  And  when  he  hath  made 
her  to  drink  the  water,  then  it 
shall  come  to  pass,  that,  if  she 
be  defiled,  and  have  done  tres- 
pass against  her  husband,  that 
the  water  that  causeth  the  curse 
shall  enter  into  her,  and  become 
bitter,  and  her  belly  shall  swell, 
and  her  thigh  shall  rot :  and  the 
woman  shall  be  a  curse  among 
her  people. 

28  And  if  the  woman  be  not 
defiled,  but  be  clean ;  then  she 
shall  be  free,  and  shall  conceive 
seed. 

29  This  is  the  law  of  jealous- 
ies, when  a  wife  goeth  aside  to 
another  instead  of  her  husband, 
and  is  defiled ; 

30  Or  when  the  spirit  of  jeal- 
ousy cometh  upon  him,  and  he 
be  jealous  over  his  wife,  and 
shall  set  the  woman  before  the 
Lord,  and  the  priest  shall  exe- 
cute upon  her  all  this  law. 

31  Then  shall  the  man  be 
guiltless  from  iniquity,  and  this 
woman  shall  bear  her  iniquity. 

CHAPTER  6 

The  law  of  the  Nazarile  in  his  sepa- 
ration. 22  The  form  ofbUseina  the 
people. 


AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MS'ses,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
l3'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them, 
When  either  man  or  woman 
shall  separate  themselves  to 
vow  a  vow  of  a  NaVa-rite,  to 
separate  themselves  unto  the 
Lord: 

3  He  shall  separate  himself 
from  wine  and  strong  drink,  and 
shall  drink  no  vinegar  of  wine, 
or  vinegar  of  strong  drink,  nei- 
ther shall  he  drink  any  liquor 
of  grapes,  nor  eat  moist  grapes, 
or  dried. 

4  All  the  days  of  his  separa- 
tion shall  he  eat  nothing  that  is 
made  of  the  vine  tree,  from  the 
kernels  even  to  the  husk. 

5  All  the  days  of  the  vow  of 
his  separation  there  shall  no 
razor  come  upon  his  head :  un- 
til the  days  be  fulfilled,  in  the 
which  he  separateth  himself 
unto  the  Lord,  he  shall  be  holy, 
and  shall  let  the  locks  of  the 
hair  of  his  head  grow. 

6  All  the  days  that  he  sepa- 
rateth himself  unto  the  Lord 
he  shall  come  at  no  dead  body. 

7  He  shall  not  make  himself 
unclean  for  his  father,  or  for  his 
mother,  for  his  brother,  or  for 
his  sister,  when  they  die:  be- 
cause the  consecration  of  his 
God  is  upon  his  head. 

8  All  the  days  of  his  separation 
he  is  holy  unto  the  Lord. 

9  And  if  any  man  die  very  sud- 
denly by  him,  and  he  hath  de- 
filed the  head  of  his  consecra- 
tion; then  he  shall  shave  his 
head  in  the  day  of  his  cleansing, 
on  the  seventh  day  shall  he 
shave  it 

10  And  on  the  eighth  day  he 
shall  bring  two  turtles,  or  two 
young  pigeons,  to  the  priest,  to 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation : 

11  And  the  priest  shall  offer 
the  one  for  a  sin  offering,  and 
the  other  for  a  burnt  offering, 
and  make  an  atonement  for  him, 
for  that  he  sinned  by  the  dead, 
and  shall  hallow  his  head  that 
same  day. 

12  And  he  shall  consecrate  un- 
to the  Lord  the  days  of  his  sep- 
aration, and  shall  bring  a  lamb 
of  the  first  year  for  a  trespass 
offering :  but  the  days  that  were 
before  shall  be  lost,  because  his 
separation  was  defiled. 

13  IT  And  this  is  the  law  of 
the  Naz'a-rite,  when  the  days  of 
his  separation  are  fulfilled:  he 
shall  be  brought  unto  the  door 
of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congre- 
gation:

The  princes?  offering*.  89  God 
epeaketh  to  Moeee  from  the  mercy 
eeat. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
day  that  MO'ges.  had  fully 
set  up  the  tabernacle,  and  had| 
anointed  it,  and  sanctified  it, 
and  all  the  instruments  thereof,  | 
both  the  altar  and  all  the  ves- 
sels thereof,  and  had  anointed 
them,  and  sanctified  them ; 

2  That  the  princes  of  Ig'ra-el, 
heads  of  the  house  of  their  fa- 
thers, who  were  the  princes  of 
the  tribes,  and  were  over  them 
that  were  numbered,  offered : 

3  And  they  brought  their  of- 
fering before  the  Lord,  six  cov- 
ered wagons,  and  twelve  oxen ; 
a  wagon  for  two  of  the  princes, 
and  for  each  one  an  ox:  and 
they  brought  them  before  the 
tabernacle. 

4  And  the  Lord  spake  unto

which  is  under  the  sacrifice  of  the  Lg'vftes,  to  every  man  ac- 


the  peace  offerings. 

19  And  the  priest  shall  take 
the  sodden  shoulder  of  the  ram, 
and  one  unleavened  cake  out  of 
the  basket,  and  one  unleavened 
wafer,  and  shall  put  them  upon 
the  hands  of  the  Naz'a-rite,  af- 
ter the  hair  o/his  separation  is 
shaven : 

20  And  the  priest  shall  wave 
them  for  a  wave  offering  before 
the  Lord:  this  is  holy  for  the 
priest,  with  the  wave  breast  and 
heave  shoulder:  and  after  that 
the  Naz'a-rite  may  drink  wine. 

21  This  is  the  law  of  the  Naz'- 
a-rite who  hath  vowed,  and  of 
his  offering  unto  the  Lord  for 
his  separation,  beside  that  that 
his  hand  shall  get :  according  to 
the  vow  which  he  vowed,  so  he 
must  do  after  the  law  of  his  sep- 
aration. 

22  ITAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'gea,  saying, 

23  Speak  unto  AaVon  and  unto 
his  sons,  saying,  On  this  wise 
ye  shall  bless  the  children  of 
Is'ra-e],  saying  unto  them, 


cording  to  his  service. 

6  And  Md'gea  took  the  wagons 
and  the  oxen,  and  gave  them 
unto  the  Le'vites. 

7  Two  wagons  and  four  oxen 
he  gave  unto  the  sons  of  GeV- 
shdn,  according  to  their  service : 

8  And  four  wagons  and  eight 
oxen  he  gave  unto  the  sons  of 
Me-rfi'ri,  according  unto  their 
service,  under  the  nand  of  Ith'a- 
mar  the  son  of  AaYon  the  priest. 

9  But  unto  the  sons  of  K5'hath 
he  gave  none:  because  the  serv- 
ice of  the  sanctuary  belonging 
unto  them  was  that  they  should 
bear  upon  their  shoulders. 

10  HAnd  the  princes  offered 
for  dedicating  of  the  altar  in  the 
day  that  it  was  anointed,  even 
the  princes  offered  their  offer- 
ing before  the  altar. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  M0'- 
se§,  Thev  shall  offer  their  offer- 
ing, each  prince  on  his  day,  for 
the  dedicating  of  the  altar. 

12  ITAnd  he  that  offered  his  of- 
fering the  first  day  was  Nah 
sh8n  the  son  of  Am-min'a-d&b,  of

the  silver  vessels  weighed  two 
thousand  and  four  hundred  shek- 
els, after  the  shekel  of  the  sanc- 
tuary: 

86  The  golden  spoons  were 
twelve,  full  of  incense,  weigh- 
ing ten  shekels  apiece,  after 
the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary :  all 
the  gold  of  the  spoons  was  an 
hundred  and  twenty  shekels. 

87  All  the  oxen  for  the  burnt 
offering  were  twelve  bullocks, 
the  rams  twelve,  the  lambs  of 
the  first  year  twelve,  with  their 
meat  offering:  and  the  kids  of 
the  goats  for  sin  offering  twelve. 

88  And  all  the  oxen  for  the 
sacrifice  of  the  peace  offerings 
were  twenty  and  four  bullocks, 
the  rams  sixty,  the  he  goats 
sixty,  the  lambs  of  the  first  year 
sixty.  This  was  the  dedication 
of  the  altar,  after  that  it  was 
anointed. 

89  And  when  MS'ses.  was  gone 
into  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation to  speak  with  him, 
then  he  heard  the  voice  of  one 
speaking  unto  him  from  off  the 
mercy  seat  that  was  upon  the 
ark  of  testimony,  from  between 
the  two  cherubims:  and  he 
spake  unto  him. 

CHAPTER  8 

Bow  the  lamps  are  to  be  lighted.  5 
The  consecration  of  the  Levites: 
23  the  age  and  time  cf  their  service. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
M6'se§,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  Aar'on,  and  say 
unto  him,  When  thou  lightest 
the  lamps,  the  seven  lamps  shall 

Sive  light  over  against  the  can- 
lestick. 

3  And  Aar'on  did  so;  he  lighted 
the  lamps  thereof  over  against 
the  candlestick,  as  the  Lord 
commanded  Md'geg. 

4  And  this  work  of  the  candle- 
stick was  of  beaten  gold,  unto 
the  shaft  thereof,  unto  the  flow- 
ers thereof,  was  beaten  work : 
according  unto  the  pattern 
which  the  Lord  had  shewed 
Md'ges,  so  he  made  the  can- 
dlestick. 

5  HAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'geg,  saying, 

6  Take  the  Le"vites  from 
among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  cleanse  them. 

7  And  thus  shalt  thou  do  unto 
them,  to  cleanse  them:  Sprinkle 
water  of  purifying  upon  them, 
and  let  them  shave  all  their 
flesh,  and  let  them  wash  their 
clothes,  and  80  make  themselves 
clean. 

8  Then  let  them  take  a  young 
bullock  with  his  meat  offering, 


even  fine  flour  mingled  with  oil, 
and  another  young  bullock  shalt 
thou  take  for  a  sin  offering. 

9  And  thou  shalt  bring  the 
Lg'vites  before  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation:  and  thou 
shalt  gather  the  whole  assem- 
bly of  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
together: 

10  And  thou  shalt  bring  the 
Lg'vites  before  the  Lord:  and 
the  children  of  ls/ra-el  shall  put 
their  hands  upon  the  LeVites: 

11  And  Aa^on  shall  offer  the 
Le'vites  before  the  Lord /or  an 
offering  of  the  children  of  Is/ra- 
el,  that  they  may  execute  the 
service  of  the  Lord. 

12  And  the  LTvites  shall  lay 
their  hands  upon  the  heads  of 
the  bullocks:  and  thou  shalt 
offer  the  one  for  a  sin  offering, 
and  the  other/or  a  burnt  offer- 
ing, unto  the  Lord,  to  make  an 
atonement  for  the  Le'vites. 

13  And  thou  shalt  set  the  LT- 
vites  before  Aar'on,  and  before 
his  sons,  and  offer  them  for  an 
offering  unto  the  Lord. 

14  Thus  shalt  thou  separate 
the  Le~vites  from  among  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el:  and  the 
Le'vites  shall  be  mine. 

15  And  after  that  shall  the 
Le'vites  go  in  to  do  the  service 
of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congre- 
gation :  and  thou  shalt  cleanse 
them,  and  offer  them  ./or  an  of- 
fering. 

16  For  they  are  wholly  given 
unto  me  from  among  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el ;  instead  of  such 
as  open  every  womb,  even  in- 
stead of  the  firstborn  of  all  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el,  have  I  taken 
them  unto  me. 

17  For  all  the  firstborn  of  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el  are  mine, 
both  man  and  beast:  on  the 
day  that  I  smote  every  firstborn 
in  the  land  of  E'gfpt  I  sancti- 
fied them  for  myself. 

18  And  I  have  taken  the  Le'- 
vites for  all  the  firstborn  of  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el. 

19  And  I  have  given  the  Le'- 
vites as  a  gift  to  Aar'on  and  to 
his  sons  from  among  the  chil- 
dren of  ls/ra-el,  to  do  the  serv- 
ice of  the  children  of  Is/ra-el  in 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, and  to  make  an  atonement 
for  the  children  of  Is/ra-el :  that 
there  be  no  plague  among  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  when  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  come  nigh 
unto  the  sanctuary. 

20  And  Md'seg,  and  A&r'on,  and 
all  the  congregation  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  did  to  the  Le'- 
vites according  unto  all  that

the  Lord  commanded  Md'ses 
concerning  the  Le'vites,  so  did 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  unto 
them. 

21  And  the  Le'vites  were  pu- 
rified, and  they  washed  their 
clothes;  and  Aar'on  offered 
them  as  an  offering  before 
the  Lord;  and  A&r'on  made 
an  atonement  for  them  to 
cleanse  them. 

22  And  after  that  went  the  LT 
vltes  in  to  do  their  service  in  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation 
before  AaVon,  and  before  his 
sons:  as  the  Lord  had  com- 
manded Mouses  concerning  the 
Le'vltes,  so  did  they  unto  them. 

23  ITAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'ses*  saying, 

24  This  is  it  that  belongeth 
unto  the  Le'vites :  from  twenty 
and  five  years  old  and  upward 
they  shall  go  in  to  wait  upon  the 
service  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation : 

25  And  from  the  age  of  fifty 
years  they  shall  cease  waiting 
upon  the  service  thereof,  and 
shall  serve  no  more : 

26  But  shall  minister  with 
their  brethren  in  the  taberna- 
cle of  the  congregation,  to  keep 
the  charge,  and  shall  do  no  serv- 
ice. Thus  shalt  thou  do  un 
to  the  Le'vites  touching  their 
charge. 

CHAPTER  9 

The  passover  enjoined.  9  A  second 
passover  allowed.  15  AcUmdguid- 
eth  the  Israelites. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'ses  in  the  wilderness  of 
Sl'nai,  in  the  first  month  of  the 
second  year  after  they  were 
come  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
saying, 

2  Let  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
also  keep  the  passover  at  his 
appointed  season. 

3  In  the  fourteenth  day  of  this 
month,  at  even,  ye  shall  keep  it 
in  his  appointed  season ;  accord- 
ing to  all  the  rites  of  it,  and  ac- 
cording to  all  the  ceremonies 
thereof,  shall  ye  keep  it. 

4  And  M6'§es  spake  unto  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they 
should  keep  the  passover. 

5  And  they  kept  the  passover 
on  the  fourteenth  day  of  the 
first  month  at  even  in  the  wil- 
derness of  Si'nSi :  according  to 
all  that  the  Lord  commanded 
Md'ses,  so  did  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el. 

6  1T  And  there  were  certain 
men,  who  were  defiled  by  the 
dead  body  of  a  man,  that  they 
could  not  keep  the  passover  on 
that  day:  and  they  came  be- 


fore Md'ses  and  before  A&r'on 
on  that  day : 

7  And  those  men  said  unto 
him,  We  are  defiled  by  the  dead 
body  of  a  man :  wherefore  are 
we  kept  back,  that  we  may  not 
offer  an  offering  of  the  Lord  in 
his  appointed  season  among  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el? 

8  And  Md'ses  said  unto  them, 
Stand  still,  and  I  will  hear  what 
the  Lord  will  command  con 
cerning  you. 

9  HAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'ses,  saying, 

10  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  saying,  If  any  man  of  you 
or  of  your  posterity  shall  be  un- 
clean by  reason  of  a  dead  body, 
or  be  in  a  journey  afar  off,  yet 
he  shall  keep  the  passover  unto 
the  Lord. 

11  The  fourteenth  day  of  the 
second  month  at  even  they 
shall  keep  it,  and  eat  it  with 
unleavened  bread  and  bitter 
herbs. 

12  They  shall  leave  none  of  it 
unto  the  morning,  nor  break 
any  bone  of  it:  according  to 
all  the  ordinances  of  the  pass- 
over  they  shall  keep  it 

13  But  the  man  that  is  clean, 
and  is  not  in  a  journey,  and 
f  orbeareth  to  keep  the  passover, 
even  the  same  soul  shall  be  cut 
off  from  among  his  people :  be- 
cause he  brought  not  the  offer- 
ing of  the  Lord  in  his  appoint- 
ed season,  that  man  shall  bear 
his  sin. 

14  And  if  a  stranger  shall  so- 
journ among  you,  and  will  keep 
the  passover  unto  the  Lord; 
according  to  the  ordinance  of 
the  passover,  and  according  to 
the  manner  thereof,  so  shall  he 
do :  ye  shall  have  one  ordinance, 
both  for  the  stranger,  and  for 
him  that  was  born  in  the  land. 

15  H And  on  the  day  that  the 
tabernacle  was  reared  up  the 
cloud  covered  the  tabernacle, 
namely,  the  tent  of  the  testi- 
mony: and  at  even  there  was 
upon  the  tabernacle  as  it  were 
the  appearance  of  fire,  until  the 
morning. 

16  So  it  was  alway :  the  cloud 
covered  it  by  day,  and  the  ap- 
pearance of  fire  by  night. 

17  And  when  the  cloud  was 
taken  up  from  the  tabernacle, 
then  after  that  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  journeyed:  and  in  the 
place  where  the  cloud  abode, 
there  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
pitched  their  tents. 

18  At  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord  the  children  of  Is'ra- 
el  journeyed,  and  at  the  com-

mandment  of  the  Lord  they 
pitched:  as  long  as  the  cloud 
abode  upon  the  tabernacle  they 
rested  in  their  tents. 

19  And  when  the  cloud  tarried 
long  upon  the  tabernacle  many 
days,  then  the  children  of  Ig'- 
ra-el  kept  the  charge  of  the 
Lord,  and  journeyed  not 

20  And  so  it  was,  when  the 
cloud  was  a  few  days  upon  the 
tabernacle;  according  to  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord 
they  abode  in  their  tents,  and 
according  to  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  they  journeyed. 

21  And  so  it  was,  when  the 
cloud  abode  from  even  unto 
the  morning,  and  that  the 
cloud  was  taken  up  in  the 
morning,  then  they  journeyed : 
whether  it  tons  by  day  or  by 
night  that  the  cloud  was  taken 
up,  they  journeyed. 

22  Or  whether  it  were  two 
days,  or  a  month,  or  a  year,  that 
the  cloud  tarried  upon  the  tab- 
ernacle, remaining  thereon,  the 
children  of  Ig'ra-el  abode  in 
their  tents,  and  journeyed  not : 
but  when  it  was  taken  up,  they 
journeyed. 

23  At  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord  they  rested  in  the 
tents,  and  at  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  they  journeyed: 
they  kept  the  charge  of  the 
Lord,  at  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord  by  the  hand  of  M5'§eg. 

CHAPTER  10 

Theuee  of the  silver  trumpets.  11  7%e 
Israelites  go  from  Sinai  to  Parent. 
33  Moses'  blessing. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'ges,  saying, 

2  Make  thee  two  trumpets  of 
silver;  of  a  whole  piece  shalt 
thou  make  them:  that  thou 
mayest  use  them  for  the  calling 
of  the  assembly,  and  for  the 
journeying  of  the  camps. 

3  And  when  they  shall  blow 
with  them,  all  the  assembly 
shall  assemble  themselves  to 
thee  at  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation. 

4  And  if  they  blow  but  with 
one  trumpet,  then  the  princes, 
which  are  heads  of  the  thou- 
sands of  Ig'ra-el,  shall  gather 
themselves  unto  thee. 

5  When  ye  blow  an  alarm, 
then  the  camps  that  lie  on  the 
east  parts  shall  go  forward. 

6  When  ye  blow  an  alarm  the 
second  time,  then  the  camps 
that  lie  on  the  south  side  shall 
take  their  journey:  they  shall 
blow  an  alarm  for  their  jour- 
neys. 

7  But  when  the  congregation 


is  to  be  gathered  together,  ye 
shall  blow,  but  ye  shall  not 
sound  an  alarm. 

8  And  the  sons  of  AiYon,  the 
priests,  shall  blow  with  the 
trumpets;  and  they  shall  be  to 
you  for  an  ordinance  for  ever 
throughout  your  generations. 

9  And  if  ye  go  to  war  in  your 
land  against  the  enemy  that 

presseth  you,  then  ye  shall 
blow  an  alarm  with  the  trump- 
ets; and  ye  shall  be  remem- 
bered before  the  Lord  your 
God,  and  ye  shall  be  saved  from 
your  enemies. 

10  Also  in  the  day  of  your  glad- 
ness, and  in  your  solemn  days, 
and  in  the  beginnings  of  your 
months,  ye  shall  blow  with  the 
trumpets  over  your  burnt  offer- 
ings, and  over  the  sacrifices  of 
your  peace  offerings;  that  they 
may  be  to  you  for  a  memorial 
before  your  God:  I  am  the 
Lord  your  God. 

11  IT  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
twentieth  day  of  the  second 
month,  in  the  second  year,  that 
the  cloud  was  taken  up  from  off 
the  tabernacle  of  the  testimony. 

12  And  the  children  of  ls/ra-el 
took  their  journeys  out  of  the 
wilderness  of  Sfnfii;  and  the 
cloud  rested  in  the  wilderness 
of  Pa'ran. 

13  And  they  first  took  their 
journey  according  to  the  com- 
mandment  of  the  Lord  by  the 
hand  of  Md'geg. 

14  Ifln  the  first  place  went  the 
standard  of  the  camp  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ju'dah  according  to  their 
armies :  and  over  his  host  was 
Nah'shSn  the  son  of  Am-mln'a- 
dfib. 

15  And  over  the  host  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  Is'sa- 
char  was  N€-thfin'e-el  the  son 
of  Zu'ar. 

16  And  over  the  host  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  ZeVu- 
lun  was  fi-li'ab  the  son  of  He'- 
Ion. 

17  And  the  tabernacle  was 
taken  down;  and  the  sons  of 
Ger'shdn  and  the  sons  of  M£- 
ra'ri  set  forward,  bearing  the 
tabernacle. 

18  And  the  standard  of  the 
camp  of  Reu"ben  set  forward 
according  to  their  armies :  and 
over  his  host  was  £4i'zur  the 
son  of  ShSd'e-ur. 

19  And  over  the  host  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  Sim'- 
e-on  was  ShS-lu'm!-el  the  son 
of  Zu-ri-shfid'da-i. 

20  And  over  the  host  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  Gftd  was 
E4i'a-saph  the  son  of  Deu'el.

21  And  the  Kflliath-ites  set 
forward,  bearing  the  sanctuary : 
and  the  other  did  set  up  the 
tabernacle  against  they  came. 

22  And  the  standard  of  the 
camp  of  the  children  of  E'phrS- 
im  set  forward  according  to 
their  armies :  and  over  his  host 
was  £4ish'a-ma  the  son  of  Am- 
nu"hud. 

23  And  over  the  host  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  MaVn&s'-

24  And  over  the  host  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  Ben'ja- 
mm  was  Ab'i-dan  the  son  of 
Gid-e-d'ni. 

25  And  the  standard  of  the 
camp  of  the  children  of  Dfin  set 
forward,  which  was  the  rere- 
ward  of  all  the  camps  through- 
out their  hosts:  and  over  his 
host  was  A-hf-e'zgr  tfce  son  of 
Am-mi*sh&d'da4. 

26  And  over  the  host  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  Ash'er 
was  Pfi'gi-el  the  son  of  Oc'ran. 

27  And  over  the  host  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  Nfiph'- 
ta-li  was  A-hi'ra  the  son  of 
E'nan. 

28  Thus  were  the  journeyings 
of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  ac- 
cording to  their  armies,  when 
they  set  forward. 

29  1f  And  MS'ges.  said  unto  H6'- 
bftb,  the  son  of  RS-gO'el  the 
Midl-an-ite,  MS'ses/  father  in 
law,  We  are  journeying  unto 
the  place  of  which  the  Lord 
said,  I  will  give  it  you:  come 
thou  with  us,  and  we  will  do 
thee  good:  for  the  Lord  hath 
spoken  good  concerning  Is'ra-el. 

50  And  he  said  unto  him,  I  will 
not  go ;  but  I  will  depart  to  mine 
own  land,  and  to  my  kindred. 

31  And  he  said,  Leave  us  not, 
I  pray  thee ;  forasmuch  as  thou 
knowest  how  we  are  to  encamp 
in  the  wilderness,  and  thou 
mayest  be  to  us  instead  of  eyes. 

32  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou  go 
with  us,  yea,  it  shall  be,  that 
what  goodness  the  Lord  shall 
do  unto  us,  the  same  will  we  do 
unto  thee. 

33  If  And  they  departed  from 
the  mount  of  the  Lord  three 
days'  journey:  and  the  ark  of 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord  went 
before  them  in  the  three  days' 
journey,  to  search  out  a  resting 
place  for  them. 

34  And  the  cloud  of  the  Lord 
was  upon  them  by  day,  when 
they  went  out  of  the  camp. 

35  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  ark  set  forward,  that  M5 
sea  said,  Rise  up,  Lord,  and  let 


thine  enemies  be  scattered ;  and 
let  them  that  hate  thee  flee  be- 
fore thee. 

36  And  when  it  rested,  he  said, 
Return,  0  Lord,  unto  the  many 
thousands  of  Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER  11 
Manna  loathed,     16  Seventy  elders 
appointed.    31  Quaile  are  given  in 
wrath,  etc* 

AND  when  the  people  com- 
plained, it  displeased  the 
Lord  :  and  the  Lord  heard  it ; 
and  his  anger  was  kindled; 
and  the  fire  of  the  Lord  burnt 
among  them,  and  consumed 
them  that  were  in  the  utter- 
most parts  of  the  camp. 

2  And  the  people  cried  unto 
M5'se& ;  and  when  M5'seg  prayed 
unto  the  Lord,  the  fire  was 
quenched. 

3  And  he  called  the  name  of 
the  place  Tab'e-rah:  because  the 
fire  of  the  Lord  burnt  among 
them. 

4  IFAnd  the  mixt  multitude 
that  was  among  them  fell  a  lust- 
ing :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
also  wept  again,  and  said,  Who 
shall  give  us  flesh  to  eat  ? 

5  We  remember  the  fish,  which 
we  did  eat  in  E'&jrpt  freely ;  the 
cucumbers,  and  the  melons,  and 
the  leeks,  and  the  onions,  and 
the  garlick : 

6  But  now  our  soul  is  dried 
away :  there  is  nothing  at  all* 
beside  this  manna,  before  our 
eyes. 

7  And  the  manna  was  as  cori- 
ander seed,  and  the  colour  there- 
of as  the  colour  of  bdellium. 

8  And  the  people  went  about, 
and  gathered  it,  and  ground  it  in 
mills,  or  beat  it  in  a  mortar,  and 
baked  it  in  pans,  and  made  cakes 
of  it :  and  the  taste  of  it  was  as 
the  taste  of  fresh  oil. 

9  And  when  the  dew  fell  upon 
the  camp  in  the  night,  the  man- 
na fell  upon  it. 

10  %  Then  Ma'ses.  heard  the 
people  weep  throughout  their 
families,  every  man  m  the  door 
of  his  tent :  and  the  anger  of  the 
Lord  was  kindled  greatly ;  Mo'- 
seg  also  was  displeased. 

11  And  M5'se§  said  unto  the 
Lord,  Wherefore  hast  thou  af- 
flicted thy  servant?  and  where- 
fore have  I  not  found  favour  in 
thy  sight,  that  thou  layest  the 
burden  of  all  this  people  upon 
me? 

12  Have  I  conceived  all  this 
people  ?  have  I  begotten  them, 
that  thou  shouldest  say  unto  me, 
Carry  them  in  thy  bosom,  as  a 
nursing  father  beareth  the  suck- 
ing child,  unto  the  land  which

thou  swarest  unto  their  fathers? 

13  Whence  should  I  have  flesh 
to  give  unto  all  this  people  ?  for 
they  weep  unto  me,  saying,  Give 
us  flesh,  that  we  may  eat 

14  I  am  not  able  to  hear  all  this 
people  alone,  because  it  is  too 
heavy  for  me. 

15  And  if  thou  deal  thus  with 
me,  kill  me,  I  pray  thee,  out  of 
hand,  if  I  have  found  favour  in 
thy  sight ;  and  let  me  not  see 
my  wretchedness. 

16  IF  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md'seg,  Gather  unto  me  seventy 
men  of  the  elders  of  ls/ra-el, 
whom  thou  knowest  to  be  the 
elders  of  the  people,  and  officers 
over  them ;  and  bring  them  un- 
to the  tabernacle  of  the  congre- 
gation, that  they  may  stand 
there  with  thee. 

17  And  I  will  come  down  and 
talk  with  thee  there :  and  I  will 
take  of  the  spirit  which  is  upon 
thee,  and  will  put  it  upon  them ; 
and  they  shall  bear  the  burden 
of  the  people  with  thee,  that 
thou  bear  it  not  thyself  alone. 

18  And  say  thou  unto  the  peo- 
ple, Sanctify  yourselves  against 
to  morrow,  and  ye  shall  eat  flesh : 
for  ye  have  wept  in  the  ears  of 
the  Lord,  saying,  Who  shall  give 
us  flesh  to  eat?  for  it  was  well 
with  us  in  E'gypt :  therefore  the 
Lord  will  give  you  flesh,  and  ye 
shall  eat 

19  Ye  shall  not  eat  one  day,  nor 
two  days,  nor  five  days,  neither 
ten  days,  nor  twenty  days ; 

20  But  even  a  whole  month, 
until  it  come  out  at  your  nostrils, 
and  it  be  loathsome  unto  you : 
because  that  ye  have  despised 
the  Lord  which  is  among  you, 
and  have  wept  before  him,  say- 
ing, Why  came  we  forth  out  of 
ffgypt? 

21  And  Mo'ses  said, The  people, 
among  whom* I  am,  are  six 
hundred  thousand  footmen ;  and 
thou  hast  said,  I  will  give  them 
flesh,  that  they  may  eat  a  whole 
month. 

22  Shall  the  flocks  and  the 
herds  be  slain  for  them,  to  suf- 
fice them  ?  or  shall  all  the  fish 
of  the  sea  be  gathered  together 
for  them,  to  suffice  them  ? 

23  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
M5'seg,  Is  the  Lord's  hand 
waxed  short?  thou  shalt  see 
now  whether  my  word  shall 
come  to  pass  unto  thee  or  not 

24  tAnd  MS'geg  went  out  and 
told  the  people  the  words  of  the 
Lord,  and  gathered  the  seventy 
men  of  the  elders  of  the  people, 
and  set  them  round  about  the 
tabernacle. 


25  And  the  Lord  came  down 
in  a  cloud,  and  spake  unto  him, 
and  took  of  the  spirit  that  was 
upon  him,  and  gave  it  unto  the 
seventy  elders :  and  it  came  to 
pass,  that,  when  the  spirit  rest- 
ed upon  them,  they  prophesied, 
and  did  not  cease. 

26  But  there  remained  two  of 
the  men  in  the  camp,  the  name 
of  the  one  was  Cl'dfid,  and  the 
name  of  the  other  Me'dfid :  and 
the  spirit  rested  upon  them ;  and 
they  were  of  them  that  were 
written,  but  went  not  out  unto 
the  tabernacle :  and  they  proph- 
esied in  the  camp. 

27  And  there  ran  a  young  man, 
and  told  Md'seg,  and  said,  El'd&d 
and  Me'dad  do  prophesy  in  the 
camp. 

28  AndJflsh'u^thesonof Nun, 
the  servant  of  Md'seg,  one  of  his 
young  men,  answered  and  said, 
My  lord  Mo'sea,  forbid  them. 

29  And  Mft'sea  said  unto  him, 
Enviest  thou  for  my  sake? 
would  God  that  all  the  Lord's 
people  were  prophets,  and  that 
the  Lord  would  put  his  spirit 
upon  them! 

30  And  Mo'ses.  gat  him  into 
the  camp,  he  and  the  elders  of 
Is/ra-el. 

31  1f  And  there  went  forth 
a  wind  from  the  Lord,  and 
brought  quails  from  the  sea, 
and  let  them  fall  by  the  camp, 
as  it  were  a  day's  journey  on 
this  side,  and  as  it  were  a  day's 
journey  on  the  other  side,  round 
about  the  camp,  and  as  it  were 
two  cubits  high  upon  the  face 
of  the  earth. 

32  And  the  people  stood  up  all 
that  day,  and  all  that  night,  and 
all  the  next  day,  and  they  gath- 
ered the  quails:  he  that  gath- 
ered least  gathered  ten  ho- 
mers :  and  they  spread  them  all 
abroad  for  themselves  round 
about  the  camp. 

33  And  while  the  flesh  was  yet 
between  their  teeth,  ere  it  was 
chewed,  the  wrath  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  the  people, 
and  the  Lord  smote  the  people 
with  a  very  great  plague. 

34  And  he  called  the  name  of 
that  place  Kib'roth-hat-tfi'a-vah 
because  there  they  buried  the 
people  that  lusted. 

35  And  the  people  journeyed 
from  Kib'roth-hat-tS  a-vah  un- 
to HH-ze'roth;  and  abode  at 
HS-ze'roth.

AND  Mirl-am  and  Aar'on 
spake  against  Md'&es  be- 
cause of  the  E-thI-5'pi-an  wom- 
an whom  he  had  married:  for 
he  had  married  an  £-thi-5'pI-an 
woman. 

2  And  they  said,  Hath  the 
Lord  indeed  spoken  only  by 
Mo'ges?  hath  he  not  spoken  al- 
so by  us?  And  the  Lord  heard 
it. 

3  (Now  the  man  MS'sej  was 
very  meek,  above  all  the  men 
which  were  upon  the  face  of 
the  earth.) 

4  And  the  Lord  spake  sud- 
denly unto  Mo'sea,  and  unto 
AaVon,  and  unto  Mirl-am,  Come 
out  ye  three  unto  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation.  And  they 
three  came  out 

5  And  the  Lord  came  down  in 
the  pillar  of  the  cloud,  and  stood 
in  the  door  of  the  tabernacle, 
and  called  AaYon  and  Mirl-am : 
and  they  both  came  forth. 

6  And  he  said,  Hear  now  my 
words:  If  there  be  a  prophet 
among  you,  /  the  Lord  will 
make  myself  known  unto  him 
in  a  vision,  and  will  speak  un- 
to him  in  a  dream. 

7  My  servant  Md'ge*  is  not 
so,  who  is  faithful  in  all  mine 
house. 

8  With  him  will  I  speak  mouth 
to  mouth,  even  apparently,  and 
not  in  dark  speeches;  and  the 
similitude  of  the  Lord  shall  he 
behold :  wherefore  then  were  ye 
not  afraid  to  sneak  against  my 
servant  Mo'aes? 

9  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  them;  and 
he  departed. 

10  And  the  cloud  departed 
from  off  the  tabernacle;  and, 
behold,  Mlrl-am  became  lep- 
rous, white  as  snow:  and  AAr/- 
on  looked  upon  Mirl-am,  and, 
behold,  she  was  leprous. 

11  And  AaVon  said  unto  Md'- 
sea,  Alas,  my  lord,  I  beseech 
thee,  lay  not  the  sin  upon  us, 
wherein  we  have  done  foolish- 
ly, and  wherein  we  have  sinned. 

12  Let  her  not  be  as  one  dead, 
of  whom  the  flesh  is  half  con- 
sumed when  he  cometh  out  of 
his  mother's  womb. 

13  And  Md'aea  cried  unto  the 
Lord,  saying,  Heal  her  now,  0 
God,  I  beseech  thee. 

14  %  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
M5'sea,  If  her  father  had  but 
spit  in  her  face,  should  she  not 
be  ashamed  seven  days?  let  her 
be  shut  out  from  the  camp  seven 
days,  and  after  that  let  her  be 
received  in  again. 

15  And  Mirl-am  was  shut  out 


from  the  camp  seven  days :  and 
the  people  journeyed  not  till 
Mirl-am  was  brought  in  again. 
16  And  afterward  the  people 
removed  from  Ha-se'roth,  and 
pitched  in  the  wilderness  of 
Pa'ran. 

CHAPTER  13 

The  names  of  the  men  who  were  eent 
to  march  the  land :  17  their  instruc- 
tions :  21  their  acts :  26  and  their 
relation. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
M5'ses,  saying, 

2  Send  thou  men,  that  they 
may  search  the  land  of  Ca'nfian, 
which  I  give  unto  the  children 
of  Is/ra-el:  of  every  tribe  of 
their  fathers  shall  ye  send  a 
man,  every  one  a  ruler  among 
them. 

3  And  Mo'sea,  by  the  command- 
ment of  the  Lord  sent  them 
from  the  wilderness  of  Pa'ran 
all  those  men  were  heads  of 
the  children  of  Is/ra-el. 

4  And  these  were  their  names 
of  the  tribe  of  Reu'ben,  Shfim- 
mu'a  the  son  of  Z&c'cur. 

5  Of  the  tribe  of  Shn'e-on, 
Sh&'phat  the  son  of  Ho'ri.    • 

6  Of  the  tribe  of  Jfi'dah,  C?

8  Of  the  tribe  of  E'phrfi-im, 
0-she'a  the  son  of  Nun. 

9  Of  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min, 
PaTti  the  son  of  Ra'phu. 

10  Of  the  tribe  of  ZSb'u-lun, 
Gad'di-el  the  son  of  So'di. 

11  Of  the  tribe  of  Jo'seph, 
namely,  of  the  tribe  of  Ma-nas'-

12  Of  the  tribe  of  Dan,  Am'-

17  IfAnd  Mo'ses  sent  them  to 
spy  out  the  land  of  C&'nflan, 
and  said  unto  them,  Get  you  up

into  the  mountain :

is;  and  the  people  that  dwell-

whether  in  tents,  or  in  strong

20  And  what  the  land  is, 
whether  it  be  tat  or  lean, 
whether  there  be  wood  there- 
in, or  not.  And  be  ye  of  good 
courage,  and  bring  of  the  fruit 
of  the  land.  Now  the  time  was 
the  time  of  the  firstripe  grapes. 

21  So  they  went  up,  and 
searched  the  land  from  the 
wilderness  of  Zin  unto  R£"h5b, 
as  men  come  to  Ha'math. 

22  And  they  ascended  by  the 
south,  and  came  unto  Hebron ; 
where  A-hi'man,  ShS'shfli,  and 
TaTmfii,  the  children  of  A'n&k, 
were.  (Now  He'bron  was  built 
seven   years  before  Zd'an   in 

23  And  they  came  unto  the 
brook  of  fish  cfil,  and  cut  down 
from  thence  a  branch  with  one 
cluster  of  grapes,  and  they  bare 
it  between  two  upon  a  staff; 
and  they  brought  of  the  pome- 
granates, and  of  the  figs* 

24  The  place  was  called  the 
brook  fish'cfil,  because  of  the 
cluster  of  grapes  which  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el  cut  down 
from  thence. 

25  And  they  returned  from 
searching  of  the  land  after 
forty  days. 

26  IT  And  they  went  and  came 
to  Afft'aeg,  and  to  AaYon,  and  to 
all  the  congregation  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ia'ra-el,  unto  the  wilder- 
ness of  P&'ran,  to  K&'desh ;  and 
brought  back  word  unto  them, 
and  unto  all  the  congregation, 
and  shewed  them  the  fruit  of 
the  land. 

27  And  they  told  him,  and 
said,  We  came  unto  the  land 
whither  thou  sentest  us,  and 
surely  it  fioweth  with  milk  and 
honey;  and  this  is  the  fruit 
of  it 

28  Nevertheless  the  people  be 
strong  that  dwell  in  the  land, 
and  the  cities  are  walled,  and 
very  great:  and  moreover  we 
saw  the  children  of  A'n&k  there. 

29  The  Am'a-iek-ites  dwell  in 
the  land  of  the  south :  and  the 
HiTtites,  and  the  Jgb'u-sites, 
and  the  Am'dr-ites,  dwell  in  the 
mountains:  and  the  C&'nSan- 
ites  dwell  by  the  sea,  and  by 
the  coast  of  Jdrtlan. 

30  And  Caleb  stilled  the  peo- 
ple before  Md'seg,  and  said,  Let 
us  go  up  at  once,  and  possess 
it ;  for  we  are  well  able  to  over- 
come it 

31  But  the  men  that  went  up 
with  him  said,  We  be  not  able 
to  go  up  against  the  people ;  for 
they  are  stronger  than  we. 

32  And  they  brought  up  an 
evil  report  of  the  land  which 


they  had  searched  unto  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  The 
land,  through  which  we  have 
gone  to  search  it,  is  a  land  that 
eateth  up  the  inhabitants  there- 
of;  and  all  the  people  that  we 
saw  in  it  are  men  of  a  great 
stature. 

33  And  there  we  saw  the  giants, 
the  sons  of  A'n&k,  which  come 
of  the  giants :  and  we  were  in 
our  own  sight  as  grasshoppers, 
and  so  we  were  in  their  sight 

CHAPTER  14 
The   people   murmur  at  the  spies' 
report.    11  God  threateneth  them. 
13  Moeee  intercedeth  with  God,  and 
obtaineth  pardon. 

AND  all  the  congregation 
lifted  up  their  voice,  and 
cried ;  and  the  people  wept  that 
night 

2  And  all  the  children  of 
ls/ra-el  murmured  against  MS'- 
sea  and  against  AaVon :  and  the 
whole  congregation  said  unto 
them.  Would  God  that  we  had 
died  in  the  land  of  Cjtfpt !  or 
would  God  we  had  died  in  this 
wilderness ! 

3  And  wherefore  hath  the 
Lord  brought  us  unto  this  land, 
to  fall  by  the  sword,  that  our 
wives  and  our  children  should 
be  a  prey?  were  it  not  better 
for  us  to  return  into  E'&jfpt? 

4  And  they  said  one  to  another, 
Let  us  make  a  captain,  and  let 
us  return  into  E'fcjrpt 

5  Then  MS'ses.  and  AiTon  fell 
on  their  faces  before  all  the  as- 
sembly of  the  congregation  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

6  And  Jdsh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun* 
and  Cfileb  the  son  of  JS-phfin' 
neh,  which  were  of  them  that 
searched  the  land,  rent  their 
clothes : 

7  And  they  spake  unto  all  the 
company  of  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el, saying,  The  land,  which 
we  passed  through  to  search  it, 
is  an  exceeding  good  land. 

8  If  the  Lord  delight  in  us, 
then  he  will  bring  us  into  this 
land,  and  give  it  us;  a  land 
which  fioweth  with  milk  and 
honey. 

9  Only  rebel  not  ye  against 
the  Lord,  neither  fear  ye  the 
people  of  the  land ;  for  they 
are  bread  for  us :  their  defence 
is  departed  from  them,  and  the 
Lord  is  with  us:  fear  them  not. 

10  But  all  the  congregation 
bade  stone  them  with  stones. 
And  the  glory  of  the  Lord  ap- 
peared in  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation  before  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Ig'ra-el.

MS'aeg,  How  long  will  this  peo- 
ple provoke  me?  and  how  long 
will  it  be  ere  they  believe  me, 
for  all  the  signs  which  I  have 
shewed  among  them  ? 

12  1  will  smite  them  with  the 
pestilence,  and  disinherit  them, 
and  will  make  of  thee  a  greater 
nation  and  mightier  than  they. 

13  And  Mft'ges.  said  unto  the 
Lord,  Then  the  fi-gyp'tians.  shall 
hear  it,  (for  thou  brough test  up 
this  people  in  thy  might  from 
among  them ;) 

14  And  they  will  tell  it  to  the 
inhabitants  of  this  land:  for 
they  have  heard  that  thou  Lord 
art  among  this  people,  that  thou 
Lord  art  seen  face  to  face,  and 
that  thy  cloud  standeth  over 
them,  and  that  thou  goest  be- 
fore them,  by  day  time  in  a  pil- 
lar of  a  cloud,  and  in  a  pillar  of 
fire  by  night. 

15  Now  t/thou  shalt  kill  all 
this  people  as  one  man,  then  the 
nations  which  have  heard  the 
fame  of  thee  will  speak,  saying, 

16  Because  the  Lord  was  not 
able  to  bring  this  people  into  the 
land  which  he  sware  unto  them, 
therefore  he  hath  slain  them  in 
the  wilderness. 

17  And  now,  I  beseech  thee, 
let  the  power  of  my  Lord  be 
great,  according  as  thou  hast 
spoken,  saying, 

18  The  Lord  is  longsuffering, 
and  of  great  mercy,  forgiving 
iniquity  and  transgression,  and 
by  no  means  clearing  the  guilty, 
visiting  the  iniquity  of  the  fa- 
thers upon  the  children  unto 
the  third  and  fourth  genera- 
tion. 

19  Pardon,  I  beseech  thee,  the 
iniquity  of  this  people  accord- 
ing unto  the  greatness  of  thy 
mercy,  and  as  thou  hast  for- 
given this  people,  from  E'gjrpt 
even  until  now. 

20  And  the  Lord  said,  I  have 
pardoned  according  to  thy  word : 

21  But  as  truly  as  I  live,  all 
the  earth  shall  be  filled  with 
the  glory  of  the  Lord. 

22  Because  all  those  men 
which  have  seen  my  glory, 
and  my  miracles,  which  I  did 
in  Elfcjrpt  and  in  the  wilder- 
ness, and  have  tempted  me  now 
these  ten  times,  and  have  not 
hearkened  to  my  voice ; 

23  Surely  they  shall  not  see 
the  land  which  I  sware  unto 
their  fathers,  neither  shall  any 
of  them  that  provoked  me  see 
it: 

24  But  my  servant  Caleb,  be- 
cause he  had  another  spirit  with 
him,  and  hath  followed  me  fully, 


him  will  !  bring  into  the  land 
whereinto  he  went;  and  his  seed 
shall  possess  it 

25  (Now  the  Am'a-l*k-ites  and 
the  Cfi'nian-ites  dwelt  in  the 
valley.)  To  morrow  turn  you, 
and  get  you  into  the  wilderness 
by  the  way  of  the  Red  sea. 

26  f  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'ges.  and  unto  AaVon,  saying, 

27  How  long  shall  I  bear  with 
this  evil  congregation,  which 
murmur  against  me?  I  have 
heard  the  murmurings  of  the 
children  of  Ig'ra-el,  which  they 
murmur  against  me. 

28  Say  unto  them,  As  truly  as 
I  live,  saith  the  Lord,  as  ye  have 
spoken  in  mine  ears,  so  will  I  do 
to  you : 

29  Your  carcases  shall  fall  in 
this  wilderness;  and  all  that 
were  numbered  of  you,  accord- 
ing to  your  whole  number,  from 
twenty  years  old  and  upward, 
which  have  murmured  against 
me, 

30  Doubtless  ye  shall  not  come 
into  the  land,  concerning  which 
I  sware  to  make  you  dwell  there- 
in, save  CSleb  the  son  of  J€- 
phun'neh,  and  Jdsh'u-4  the  son 
of  Nun. 

31  But  your  little  ones,  which 
ye  said  should  be  a  prey,  them 
will  I  bring  in,  and  they  shall 
know  the  land  which  ye  have 
despised. 

32  But  as  for  you,  your  car- 
cases, they  shall  fall  in  this 
wilderness. 

33  And  your  children  shall 
wander  in  the  wilderness  forty 
years,  and  bear  your  whore- 
doms, until  your  carcases  be 
wasted  in  the  wilderness. 

34  After  the  number  of  the 
days  in  which  ye  searched  the 
land,  even  forty  days,  each  day 
for  a  year,  shall  ye  bear  your  in- 
iquities, even  forty  years,  and 
ye  shall  know  my  breach  of 
promise. 

35  I  the  Lord  have  said,  I  will 
surely  do  it  unto  all  this  evil 
congregation,  that  are  gathered 

jether  against  me:  in  this 
wilderness  they  shall  be  con- 
sumed, and  there  they  shall  die. 

36  And  the  men,  which  MO'ges. 
sent  to  search  the  land,  who  re- 
turned, and  made  all  the  congre- 
gation to  murmur  against  him, 
by  bringing  up  a  slander  upon 
the  land, 

37  Even  those  men  that  did 
bring  up  the  evil  report  upon 
the  land,  died  by  the  plague  be- 
fore the  Lord.

neh,  which  were  of  the  men 
that  went  to  search  the  land, 
lived  still. 

39  And  Md'ses  told  these  say- 
ings unto  all  the  children  of  ls/- 


ra-el :  and  the  people  mourned  for  a  sacrifice  in  performing  a 


greatly. 

40  And  they  rose  up  early  in 
the  morning,  and  gat  them  up 
into  the  top  of  the  mountain, 
saying,  Lo,  We  be  here,  and  will 
go  up  unto  the  place  which  the 
Lord  hath  promised:  for  we 
have  sinned. 

41  And  Md'ses  said,  Wherefore 
now  do  ye  transgress  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord?  but  it 
shall  not  prosper. 

42  Go  not  up,  for  the  Lord  is 
not  among  you ;  that  ye  be  not 
smitten  before  your  enemies. 

45  For  the  Am'a4€k-ites  and 
the  Ca'n&an-ites  are  there  be- 
fore you,  and  ye  shall  fall  by  the 
sword:  because  ye  are  turned 
away  from  the  Lord,  therefore 
the  Lord  will  not  be  with  you. 

44  But  they  presumed  to  go  up 
unto  the  hill  top:  nevertheless 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord,  and  Md'ses,  departed  not 
out  of  the  camp. 

45  Then  the  Am'a-lgk-i tes  came 
down,andtheC&'n&an-ites  which 
dwelt  in  that  hill,  and  smote 
them,  and  discomfited  them, 
even  unto  Hor'mah. 

CHAPTER  15 

The  law  of  sundry  offerings.    32  The 

eabbath  breaker  atoned.   37  The  law 

offringee. 

AND  the  Lord  spake 
Md'ses,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
la'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them, 
When  ye  be  come  into  the  land 
of  your  habitations,  which  I  give 
unto  you, 

3  And  will  make  an  offering  by 
fire  unto  the  Lord,  a  burnt  offer- 
ing, or  a  sacrifice  in  performing 
a  vow,  or  in  a  freewill  offering, 
or  in  your  solemn  feasts,  to  make 
a  sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord,  of 
the  herd,  or  of  the  flock : 

4  Then  shall  he  that  offereth 
his  offering  unto  the  Lord  bring 
a  meat  offering  of  a  tenth  deal 
of  flour  mingled  with  the  fourth 
part  of  an  hin  of  oil. 

5  And  the  fourth  part  of  an 
hin  of  wine  for  a  drink  offer- 
ing shalt  thou  prepare  with  the 
burnt  offering  or  sacrifice,  for 
one  lamb. 

6  Or  for  a  ram,  thou  shalt  pre- 
pare for  a  meat  offering  two 
tenth  deals  of  flour  mingled 
with  the  third  part  of  an  hin 
of  oil. 

7  And  for  a  drink  offering  thou 


unto 


shalt  offer  the  third  part  of  an 
hin  of  wine,  for  a  sweet  savour 
unto  the  Lord. 
8  And  when  thou  preparest  a 
bullock  for  a  burnt  offering,  or 


vow,  or  peace  offerings  unto  the 
Lord: 

9  Then  shall  he  bring  with  a 
bullock  a  meat  offering  of  three 
tenth  deals  of  flour  mingled  with 
half  an  hin  of  oil. 

10  And  thou  shalt  bring  for  a 
drink  offering  half  an  hin  of 
wine,  for  an  offering  made  by 
fire,  of  a  sweet  savour  unto  the 
Lord. 

11  Thus  shall  it  be  done  for 
one  bullock,  or  for  one  ram,  or 
for  a  lamb,  or  a  kid. 

12  According  to  the  number 
that  ye  shall  prepare,  so  shall 
ye  do  to  every  one  according  to 
their  number. 

13  All  that  are  born  of  the 
country  shall  do  these  things 
after  this  manner,  in  offering 
an  offering  made  by  fire,  of  a 
sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord, 

14  And  if  a  stranger  sojourn 
with  you,  or  whosoever  be  among 
you  in  your  generations,  and  will 
offer  an  offering  made  by  fire,  of 
a  sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord; 
as  ye  do,  so  he  shall  do. 

15  One  ordinance  shall  be  both 
for  you  of  the  congregation,  and 
also  for  the  stranger  that  so- 
journeth  with  you,  an  ordi- 
nance for  ever  in  your  genera- 
tions: as  ye  are,  so  shall  the 
stranger  be  before  the  Lord. 

16  One  law  and  one  manner 
shall  be  for  you,  and  for  the 
stranger  that  sojourneth  with 
you. 

17  ITAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'ses,  saying, 

18  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them, 
When  ye  come  into  the  land 
whither  I  bring  you, 

19  Then  it  shall  be,  that,  when 
ye  eat  of  the  bread  of  the  land, 
ve  shall  offer  up  an  heave  offer- 
ing unto  the  Lord. 

20  Ye  shall  offer  up  a  cake  of 
the  first  of  your  dough  for  an 
heave  offering:  ba  ye  do  the 
heave  offering  of  the  thresh- 
ingfloor,  so  shall  ye  heave  it 

21  Of  the  first  of  your  dough 
ye  shall  give  unto  the  Lord  an 
heave  offering  in  your  genera- 
tions. 

22  ITAnd  if  ye  have  erred,  and 
not  observed  all  these  command- 
ments, which  the  Lord  hath 
spoken  unto  Md'ges,

27  IT  And  if  any  soul  sin 
through  ignorance,  then  he 
shall  bring  a  she  goat  of  the 
first  vear  for  a  sin  offering. 

28  And  the  priest  shall  make 
an  atonement  for  the  soul  that 
sinneth  ignorantly,  when  he 
sinneth  by  ignorance  before  the 
Lord,  to  make  an  atonement 
for  him;  and  it  shall  be  for- 
given him. 

29  Ye  shall  have  one  law  for 
him  that  sinneth  through  igno- 
rance, both  for  him  that  is  born 
among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  for  the  stranger  that  so- 
journeth  among  them. 

30  IF  But  the  soul  that  doeth 
ought  presumptuously,  wheth- 
er he  be  born  in  the  land,  or  a 
stranger,  the  same  reproacheth 
the  Lord;  and  that  soul  shall 
be  cut  off  from  among  his  peo- 
ple. 

31  Because  he  hath  despised 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  hath 
broken  his  commandment,  that 
soul  shall  utterly  be  cut  off; 
his  iniquity  shall  be  upon  him, 

32  IFAnd  while  the  children  of 
ls/ra-el  were  in  the  wilderness, 
they  found  a  man  that  gathered 
sticks  upon  the  sabbath  day. 

33  And  they  that  found  him 
gathering  sticks  brought  him 
unto  Mo'ses  and  AaYon,  and 
unto  all  the  congregation. 

34  And  they  put  him  in  ward, 
because  it  was  not  declared 
what  should  be  done  to  him. 


35  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo'ses,  The  man  shall  be  sure- 
ly put  to  death:  all  the  con- 
gregation shall  stone  him  with 
stones  without  the  camp. 

36  And  all  the  congregation 
brought  him  without  the  camp, 
and  stoned  him  with  stones, 
and  he  died ;  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded MS'ses. 

37  1FAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'ses,  saying, 

38  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  bid  them  that  they 
make  them  fringes  in  the  bor- 
ders of  their  garments  through- 
out  their  generations,  and  that 
they  put  upon  the  fringe  of  the 
borders  a  ribband  of  blue : 

39  And  it  shall  be  unto  you  for 
a  fringe,  that  ye  may  look  upon 
it,  and  remember  all  the  com- 
mandments of  the  Lord,  and 
do  them;  and  that  ye  seek 
not  after  your  own  heart  and 
your  own  eyes,  after  which  ye 
use  to  go  a  whoring: 

40  That  ye  may  remember, 
and  do  all  my  commandments, 
and  be  holy  unto  your  God, 

41  I  am  the  Lord  your  God, 
which  brought  you  out  of  the 
land  of  fygypt,  to  be  your  God : 
I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

CHAPTER  16 

The  rebellion  ofKorah.  31  The  earth 
cleaveth  asunder.  46  Aaron  etay- 
eth  the  plague. 

NOW  K5'rah,  the  son  of  Iz' 
har,  the  son  of  KCTiath, 
the  son  of  LTvi,  and  DS'than 
and  A-bi'ram,  the  sons  of  fi-li'- 
ab,  and  On,  the  son  of  PSleth, 
sons  of  Reii'ben,  took  men : 

2  And  they  rose  up  before  Mo'- 
ses, with  certain  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  two  hundred  and  fifty 
princes  of  the  assembly,  famous 
in  the  congregation,  men  of  re- 
nown: 

3  And  thev  gathered  them 
selves  together  against  Mo'ses 
and  against  Afir'on,  and  said  un 
to  them,  Ye  take  too  much  upon 
you,  seeing  all  the  congregation 
are  holy,  every  one  of  them, 
and  the  Lord  is  among  them : 
wherefore  then  lift  ye  up  your- 
selves above  the  congregation 
of  the  Lord? 

4  And  when  MO'ses  heard  it, 
he  fell  upon  his  face : 

5  And  he  spake  unto  Ko'rah 
and  unto  all  his  company,  say- 
ing, Even  to  morrow  the  Lord 
will  shew  who  are  his,  and  who 
is  holy ;  and  will  cause  him  to 
come  near  unto  him :  even  him 
whom  he  hath  chosen  will  he 
cause  to  come  near  unto  him.

Kd'rah,  and  all  his  company; 

7  And  put  fire  therein,  and 
put  incense  in  them  before  the 
Lord  to  morrow :  and  it  shall  be 
that  the  man  whom  the  Lord 
doth  choose,  he  shall  be  holy 
ye  take  too  much  upon  you,  ye 
sons  of  Le'vi. 

8  And  Mo'ses.  said  unto  K5'- 
rah,  Hear,  I  pray  you,  ye  sons 
of  Le'vi: 

9  Seemeth  it  but  a  small  thing 
unto  you,  that  the  God  of  Ig'ra- 
el  hath  separated  you  from  the 
congregation  of  Ig'ra-el,  to  bring 
you  near  to  himself  to  do  the 
service  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
Lord,  and  to  stand  before  the 
congregation  to  minister  unto 
them? 

10  And  he  hath  brought  thee 
near  to  him,  and  all  thy  breth- 
ren the  sons  of  Le'vi  with  thee : 
and  seek  ye  the  priesthood 
also? 

11  For  which  cause  both  thou 
and  all  thy  company  are  gath- 
ered together  against  the  Lord  : 
and  what  is  AaYon,  that  ye  mur- 
mur against  him  ? 

12  IT  And  MS'sea  sent  to  call 
Da'than  and  A-bi'ram,  the  sons 
of  £-li'ab :  which  said,  We  will 
not  come  up : 

13  Is  it  a  small  thing  that 
thou  hast  brought  us  up  out  of 
a  land  that  floweth  with  milk 
and  honey,  to  kill  us  in  the  wil- 
derness, except  thou  make  thy- 
self altogether  a  prince  over  us  ? 

14  Moreover  thou  hast  not 
brought  us  into  a  land  that 
floweth  with  milk  and  honey, 
or  given  us  inheritance  of  fields 
and  vineyards:  wilt  thou  put 
out  the  eyes  of  these  men  ?  we 
will  not  come  up. 

15  And  Md'ses.  was  very  wroth, 
and  said  unto  the  Lord,  Respect 
not  thou  their  offering:  I  have 
not  taken  one  ass  from  them, 
neither  have  I  hurt  one  of  them. 

16  And  M6'ge§  said  unto  Ko'- 
rah, Be  thou  and  all  thy  compa- 
ny before  the  Lord,  thou,  and 
they,  and  AaYon,  to  morrow : 

17  And  take  every  man  his  cen- 
ser, and  put  incense  in  them, 
and  bring  ye  before  the  Lord 
every  man  his  censer,  two  hun- 
dred and  fifty  censers;  thou  also, 
and  AaVon,  each  of  you  his  cen- 
ser. 

18  And  they  took  every  man 
his  censer,  and  put  fire  in  them, 
and  laid  incense  thereon,  and 
stood  in  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation  with 
M5'ses  and  A&r'on. 

19  And  Kd'rah  gathered  all 
the  congregation  against  them 


unto  the  door  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation:  and  the 
glory  of  the  Lord  appeared  un- 
to all  the  congregation. 

20  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MC'seg  and  unto  AaVon,  saying, 

21  Separate  yourselves  from 
among  this  congregation,  that 
I  may  consume  them  in  a  mo- 
ment 

22  And  they  fell  upon  their 
faces,  and  said,  0  God,  the  God 
of  the  spirits  of  all  flesh,  shall 
one  man  sin,  and  wilt  thou  be 
wroth  with  all  the  congrega- 
tion? 

23  IT  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MS'seg,  saying, 

24  Speak  unto  the  congrega- 
tion,  saying,  Get  you  up  from 
about  the  tabernacle  of  Kd'rah, 
Da'than,  and  A-bi'ram. 

25  And  Mfi'seg  rose  up  and 
went  unto  DS'than  and  A-bi'- 
ram ;  and  the  elders  of  Ig'ra-el 
followed  him. 

26  And  he  spake  unto  the  con* 
gregation,  saying,  Depart,  I  pray 
you,  from  the  tents  of  these 
wicked  men,  and  touch  nothing 
of  their* Sk,  lest  ye  be  consumed 
in  all  their  sins. 

27  So  they  gat  up  from  the 
tabernacle  of  Kd'rah,  Dfi'than, 
and  A-bi'ram,  on  every  side: 
and  Da'than  and  A-bi'ram  came 
out,  and  stood  in  the  door  of 
their  tents,  and  their  wives, 
and  their  sons,  and  their  little 
children. 

28  And  MO'ses  said,  Hereby  ye 
shall  know  that  the  Lord  hath 
sent  me  to  do  all  these  works ; 
for  I  have  not  dons  them  of 
mine  own  mind. 

29  If  these  men  die  the  com- 
mon death  of  all  men,  or  if  they 
be  visited  after  the  visitation  of 
all  men;  then  the  Lord  hath 
not  sent  me. 

30  But  if  the  Lord  make  a  new 
thing,  and  the  earth  open  her 
mouth,  and  swallow  them  up, 
with  all  that  appertain  unto 
them,  and  they  go  down  quick 
into  the  pit ;  then  ye  shall  un- 
derstand that  these  men  have 
provoked  the  Lord. 

31  IFAnd  it  came  to  pass,  as 
he  had  made  an  end  of  speak- 
ing all  these  words,  that  the 
ground  clave  asunder  that  was 
under  them : 

32  And  the  earth  opened  her 
mouth,  and  swallowed  them  up, 
and  their  houses,  and  all  the 
men  that  appertained  unto 
Kd'rah,  and  all  their  goods. 

33  They,  and  all  that  apper- 
tained to  them,  went  down  alive 
into  the  pit,  and  the  earth  closed

upon  them :  and  they  perished 
from  among  the  congregation. 

34  And  all  la'ra-el  that  were 
round  about  them  fled  at  the 
cry  of  them:  for  they  said, 
Lest  the  earth  swallow  us  up 
also. 

35  And  there  came  out  a  fire 
from  the  Lord,  and  consumed 
the  two  hundred  and  fifty  men 
that  offered  incense. 

36  1FAnd  tfee  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'sea,  saying, 

37  Speak  unto  E-le-a'zar  the 
son  of  Aar'on  the  priest,  that 
he  take  up  tie  censers  out  of 
the  burning,  and  scatter  thou 
the  fire  yonder;  for  they  are 
hallowed. 

38  The  censers  of  these  sin- 
ners against  their  own  souls,  let 
them  make  them  broad  plates 
for  a  covering  of  the  altar :  for 
they  offered  them  before  the 
Lord,  therefore  they  are  hal- 
lowed :  and  they  shall  be  a  sign 
unto  the  children  of  la'ra-el. 

39  And  E-le-a'xar  the  priest 
took  the  brasen  censers,  where- 
with they  that  were  burnt  had 
offered;  and  they  were  made 
broad  plates  for  a  covering  of 
the  altar: 

40  To  be  a  memorial  unto  the 
children  of  la'ra-el,  that  no  stran- 
ger, which  is  not"  of  the  seed  of 
Aar'on,  come  near  to  offer  in- 
cense before  the  Lord  ;  that  he 
be  not  as  Kfi'rah,  and  as  his 
company:  as  the  Lord  said  to 
him  £y  the  hand  of  Mo'sea. 

41  IfBut  on  the  morrow  all  the 
congregation  of  the  children  of 
Ia'ra«el  murmured  against  M5'- 
aes  and  against  Aar'on,  saying, 
Ye  have  killed  the  people  of  the 
Lord. 

42  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  congregation  was  gathered 
against  Md'ses  and  against  AaY- 
on,  that  they  looked  toward  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation : 
and,  behold,  the  cloud  covered 
it,  and  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
appeared. 

43  And  Md'ses.  and  Aar'on  came 
before  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation. 

44  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'sea,  saying, 

45  Get  you  up  from  among 
this  congregation,  that  I  may 
consume  them  as  in  a  moment 
And  they  fell  upon  their  faces. 

46  And  Md'aea  said  unto  Aar'- 
on, Take  a  censer,  and  put  fire 
therein  from  off  the  altar,  and 
Kit  on  incense,  and  go  quick- 
ly unto  the  congregation,  and 
make  an  atonement  for  them : 
for  there  is  wrath  gone  out 


from  the  Lord;  the  plague  is 
begun. 

47  And  Aar'on  took  as  Mo'gea 
commanded,  and  ran  into  the 
midst  of  the  congregation ;  and, 
behold,  the  plague  was  begun 
among  the  people :  and  he  put 
on  incense,  and:  made  an  atone- 
ment for  the  people. 

48  And  he  stood  between  the 
dead  and  the  living;  and  the 
plague  was  stayed. 

49  Now  they  that  died  in  the 
plague  were  fourteen  thousand 
and  seven  hundred,  beside  them 
that  died  about  the  matter  of 
Kd'rah. 

50  And  Aar'on  returned  unto 
Md'sea  unto  the  door  of  the  tab- 
ernacle of  the  congregation: 
and  the  plague  was  stayed. 

CHAPTER  17 

Aaron* a  rod  only  flourisketh  :  10  it 
is  laid  tip  for  a  memorial  against 
the  rebels. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MS'aes,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
la'ra-el,  and  take  of  every  one 
of  them  a  rod  according  to  the 
house  of  their  fathers,  of  all 
their  princes  according  to  the 
house  of  their  fathers  twelve 
rods:  write  thou  every  man's 
name  upon  his  rod. 

3  And  thou  shalt  write  Aar'- 
on's  name  upon  the  rod  of 
LS'vi :  for  one  rod  shall  be  for 
the  head  of  the  house  of  their 
fathers. 

4  And  thou  shalt  lav  them  up 
in  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation before  the  testimony, 
where  I  will  meet  with  you. 

5  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  the  man's  rod,  whom 
shall  choose,  shall  blossom :  and 
I  will  make  to  cease  from  me 
the  murmurings  of  the  children 
of  Is/ra-el,  whereby  they  mur- 
mur against  you. 

6  IF  And  M<5'gea  spake  unto  the 
children  of  la'ra-el,  and  every 
one  of  their  princes  gave  him 
a  rod  apiece,  for  each  prince 
one,  according  to  their  fathers' 
houses,  even  twelve  rods:  and 
the  rod  of  Aar'on  was  among 
their  rods. 

7  And  Md'aea  laid  up  the  rods 
before  the  Lord  in  the  taber- 
nacle of  witness. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  on 
the  morrow  Md'aea  went  into 
the  tabernacle  of  witness;  and, 
behold,  the  rod  of  Aar'on  for 
the  house  of  Le'vi  was  budded, 
and  brought  forth  buds,  and 
bloomed  blossoms,  and  yielded 
almonds. 

9  And  Md'aea  brought  out  all

unto  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el : 
and  they  looked,  and  took  every 
man  his  rod. 

10  HAnd  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md'geg,  Bring  Aar'on's  rod  again 
before  the  testimony,  to  be  kept 
for  a  token  against  the  rebels ;

12  And  the  children  of  la'ra-el 
spake  unto  Mo'seg,  saying,  Be- 
hold, we  die,  we  perish,  we  all 
perish. 

13  Whosoever  cometh  any 
thing  near  unto  the  tabernacle 
of  the  Lord  shall  die :  shall  we 
be  consumed  with  dying? 

CHAPTER  18 

The  charge  of  the  priests  and  Levites. 
8  The  priests'  21  and  the  Levites9 
portions.  25  Of  the  heave  offering 
to  the  priests,  etc. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  AaY- 
on,  Thou  and  thy  sons  and 
thy  father's  house  with  thee 
shall  bear  the  iniquity  of  the 
sanctuary:  and  thou  and  thy 
sons  with  thee  shall  bear  the 
iniquity  of  your  priesthood. 

2  And  thy  brethren  also  of  the 
tribe  of  Li'vl,  the  tribe  of  thy 
father,  bring  thou  with  thee, 
that  they  may  be  joined  unto 
thee,  and  minister  unto  thee: 
but  thou  and  thy  sons  with  thee 
shall  minister  before  the  tab- 
ernacle of  witness. 

3  And  they  shall  keep  thy 
charge,  and  the  charge  of  all 
the  tabernacle:  only  they  shall 
not  come  nigh  the  vessels  of  the 
sanctuary  and  the  altar,  that 
neither  they,  nor  ye  also,  die. 

4  And  they  shall  be  joined  un- 
to thee,  and  keep  the  charge  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, for  all  the  service  of  the 
tabernacle :  and  a  stranger  shall 
not  come  nigh  unto  you. 

5  And  ye  shall  keep  the  charge 
of  the  sanctuary,  and  the  charge 
of  the  altar:  that  there  be  no 
wrath  any  more  upon  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el. 

6  And  I,  behold,  I  have  taken 
your  brethren  the  Le'vites  from 
among  the  children  of  Is/ra-el: 
to  you  they  are  given  as  a  gift 
for  the  Lord,  to  do  the  service 
of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con 
gregation. 

7  Therefore  thou  and  thy  sons 

with  thee  shall  keep  y our | not  redeem;  they  are  holy: 
priest's  office  for  every  thing  of  thou  shalt  sprinkle  their  blood 
the  altar,  and  within  the  vail;  upon  the  altar,  and  shalt  burn 
and  ye  shall   serve:    I   have ! their  fat  for  an  offering  made 

158 


given  your  priesf  8  office  unto 
you  as  a  service  of  gift:  and 
the  stranger  that  cometh  nigh 
shall  be  put  to  death. 

8  1FAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Aar'on,    Behold,  I   also   have 

fiven  thee  the  charge  of  mine 
eave  offerings  of  all  the  hal- 
lowed things  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el;  unto  thee  have  I 
given  them  by  reason  of  the 
anointing,  and  to  thy  sons,  by 
an  ordinance  for  ever. 

9  This  shall  be  thine  of  the 
most  holy  things,  reserved 
from  the  fire:  every  oblation 
of  their's,  every  meat  offering 
of  their's,  and  every  sin  offer- 
ing of  their's,  and  every  tres- 
pass offering  of  their's,  which 
they  shall  render  unto  me,  shall 
be  most  holy  for  thee  and  for 
thy  sons. 

10  In  the  most  holy  place  shalt 
thou  eat  it ;  every  male  shall  eat 
it :  it  shall  be  holy  unto  thee. 

11  And  this  is  thine;  the 
heave  offering  of  their  gift,  with 
all  the  wave  offerings  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el :  I  have  given 
them  unto  thee,  and  to  thy  sons 
and  to  thy  daughters  with  thee, 
by  a  statute  for  ever :  every  one 
that  is  clean  in  thy  house  shall 
eat  of  it. 

12  All  the  best  of  the  oil,  and 
all  the  best  of  the  wine,  and 
of  the  wheat,  the  firstfruits  of 
them  which  they  shall  offer  un- 
to the  Lord,  them  have  I  given 
thee. 

13  And  whatsoever  is  first  ripe 
in  the  land,  which  they  shall 
bring  unto  the  Lord,  shall  be 
thine ;  every  one  that  is  clean  in 
thine  house  shall  eat  of  it 

14  Every  thing  devoted  in  la'- 
ra-el shall  be  thine. 

15  Every  thing  that  openeth 
the  matrix  in  all  flesh,  which 
they  bring  unto  the  Lord, 
whether  it  be  of  men  or  beasts, 
shall  be  thine:  nevertheless 
the  firstborn  of  man  shalt  thou 
surely  redeem,  and  the  firstling 
of  unclean  beasts  shalt  thou  re- 
deem. 

16  And  those  that  are  to  be  re- 
deemed from  a  month  old  shalt 
thou  redeem,  according  to  thine 
estimation,  for  the  money  of  five 
shekels,  after  the  shekel  of  the 
sanctuary,  which  is  twenty 
gerahs. 

17  But  the  firstling  of  a  cow, 
or  the  firstling  of  a  sheep,  or 
the  firstling  of  a  goat,  thou  shalt

the  Lord. 

18  And  the  flesh  of  them  shall 
be  thine,  as  the  wave  breast  and 
as  the  right  shoulder  are  thine. 

19  All  the  heave  offerings  of 
the  holy  things,  which  the  chil- 
dren of  Ig'ra-el  offer  unto  the 
Lord,  have  I  given  thee,  and 
thy  sons  and  thy  daughters  with 
thee,  by  a  statute  for  ever :  it  is 
a  covenant  of  salt  for  ever  be- 
fore the  Lord  unto  thee  and  to 
thy  seed  with  thee. 

20  ITAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
AsYon,  Thou  shalt  have  no  in- 
heritance in  their  land,  neither 
shalt  thou  have  any  part  among 
them :  I  am  thy  part  and  thine 
inheritance  among  the  children 
of  Ia'ra-eL 

21  And,  behold,  I  have  given 
the  children  of  LTvi  all  the 
tenth  in  ls/ra-el  for  an  inherit- 
ance, for  their  service  which 
they  serve,  even  the  service  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion. 

22  Neither  must  the  children 
of  Is/ra-el  henceforth  come  nigh 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, lest  they  bear  sin,  and  die. 

23  But  the  LTvltes  shall  do 
the  service  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation,  and  they  shall 
bear  their  iniquity :  it  shall  be  a 
statute  for  ever  throughout  your 
generations,  that  among  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el  they  have  no 
inheritance. 

24  But  the  tithes  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el,  which  they  of- 
fer as  an  heave  offering  unto 
the  Lord,  I  have  given  to  the 
Le'vftes  to  inherit :  therefore  I 
have  said  unto  them,  Among 
the  children  of  Is/ra-el  they  shall 
have  no  inheritance. 

25  IF  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'ses,  saying, 

26  Thus  speak  unto  the  Le'- 
vites, and  say  unto  them,  When 
ye  take  of  the  children  of  Ig'ra- 
el  the  tithes  which  I  have  given 
you  from  them  for  your  inher- 
itance, then  ye  shall  offer  up 
an  heave  offering  of  it  for  the 
Lord,  even  a  tenth  part  of  the 
tithe. 

27  And  this  your  heave  offer- 
ing shall  be  reckoned  unto  you, 
as  though  it  were  the  corn  of 
the  threshingfloor,  and  as  the 
fulness  of  the  winepress. 

28  Thus  ye  also  shall  offer  an 
heave  offering  unto  the  Lord  of 
all  your  tithes,  which  ye  receive 
of  .the  children  of  Ig'ra-el;  and 
ye* shall  give  thereof  the  Lord's 
heave  offering  to  A&rtra  the 
priest 


AND 
Md'geg  and 


29  Out  of  all  your  gifts  ye  shall 
offer  every  heave  offering  of  the 
Lord,  of  all  the  best  thereof, 
even  the  hallowed  part  thereof 
out  of  it 

50  Therefore  thou  shalt  sayun- 
to  them,  When  ye  have  heaved 
the  best  thereof  from  it,  then  it 
shall  be  counted  unto  the  Le'- 
vites as  the  increase  of  the 
threshingfloor,  and  as  the  in- 
crease of  the  winepress. 

31  And  ye  shall  eat  it  in  every 
place,  ye  and  your  households : 
for  it  is  your  reward  for  your 
service  in  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation. 

32  And  ye  shall  bear  no  sin 
by  reason  of  it  when  ye  have 
heaved  from  it  the  best  of  it : 
neither  shall  ye  pollute  the  holy 
things  of  the  children  of  Ig' 
ra-el,  lest  ye  die. 

CHAPTER  19 

The  water  of  reparation:  11  the  ute  of 
it  for  purification  of  uncleannew. 

the  Lord  spake  unto 
unto  Alr'on, 
saying, 

2  This  is  the  ordinance  of  the 
law  which  the  Lord  hath  com- 
manded, saying,  Speak  unto  the 
children  of  Ig'ra-el,  that  they 
bring  thee  a  red  heifer  with- 
out spot  wherein  is  no  blem- 
ish, and  upon  which  never 
came  yoke: 

3  And  ye  shall  give  her  unto 
E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  that  he 
may  bring  her  forth  without 
the  camp,  and  one  shall  slay 
her  before  his  face: 

4  And  E-le-a'zar  the  priest 
shall  take  of  her  blood  with  his 
finger,  and  sprinkle  of  her  blood 
directly  before  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation  seven  times 

5  And  one  shall  burn  the  heifer 
in  his  sight ;  her  skin,  and  her 
flesh,  and  her  blood,  with  her 
dung,  shall  he  burn : 

6  And  the  priest  shall  take  ce- 
dar wood,  and  hyssop,  and  scar- 
let, and  cast  it  into  the  midst  of 
the  burning  of  the  heifer. 

7  Then  the  priest  shall  wash 
his  clothes,  and  he  shall  bathe 
his  flesh  in  water,  and  after- 
ward he  shall  come  into  the 
camp,  and  the  priest  shall  be 
unclean  until  the  even. 

8  And  he  that  burnetii  her 
shall  wash  his  clothes  in  water, 
and  bathe  his  flesh  in  water, 
and  shall  be  unclean  until  the 
even. 

9  And  a  man  that  is  clean 
shall  gather  up  the  ashes  of  the 
heifer,  and  lay  them  up  with- 
out the  camp  in  a  clean  place,

and  it  shall  be  kept  for  the  con 
gregation  of  the  children  of  lf'- 
ra-el  for  a  water  of  separation : 
it  is  a  purification  for  sin. 

10  And  he  that  gathereth  the 
ashes  of  the  heifer  shall  wash 
his  clothes,  and  be  unclean  un- 
til the  even:  and  it  shall  be 
unto  the  children  of  ts'ra-el, 
and  unto  the  stranger  that  so- 
journeth  among  them,  for  a 
statute  for  ever. 

11  tHe  that  toucheth  the  dead 
body  of  any  man  shall  be  un- 
clean seven  days. 

12  He  shall  purify  himself 
with  it  on  the  third  day,  and 
on  the  seventh  day  he  shall  be 
clean:  but  if  he  purify  not 
himself  the  third  day,  then  the 
seventh  day  he  shall  not  be 
clean. 

13  Whosoever  toucheth  the 
dead  body  of  any  man  that  is 
dead,  and  purifieth  not  himself, 
defileth  the  tabernacle  of  the 
Lord;  and  that  soul  shall  be 
cut  off  from  Ig'ra-el:  because 
the  water  of  separation  was  not 
sprinkled  upon  him,  he  shall 
be  unclean ;  his  uncleanness  is 
yet  upon  him. 

14  This  is  the  law,  when  a 
man  dieth  in  a  tent:  all  that 
come  into  the  tent,  and  all  that 
is  in  the  tent,  shall  be  unclean 
seven  days. 

15  And  every  open  vessel, 
which  hath  no  covering  bound 
upon  it,  is  unclean. 

16  And  whosoever  toucheth 
one  that  is  slain  with  a  sword 
in  the  open  fields,  or  a  dead 
body,  or  a  bone  of  a  man,  or  a 

Save,  shall  be  unclean  seven 
vs. 

17  And  for  an  unclean  person 
they  shall  take  of  the  ashes  of 
the  burnt  heifer  of  purification 
for  sin,  and  running  water  shall 
be  put  thereto  in  a  vessel : 

18  And  a  clean  person  shall 
take  hyssop,  and  dip  it  in  the 
water,  and  sprinkle  it  upon 
the  tent,  and  upon  all  the  ves- 
sels, and  upon  the  persons  that 
were  there,  and  upon  him  that 
touched  a  bone,  or  one  slain,  or 
one  dead,  or  a  grave: 

19  And  the  clean  person  shall 
sprinkle  upon  the  unclean  on 
the  third  day,  and  on  the  sev- 
enth dav:  and  on  the  seventh 
day  he  shall  purify  himself,  and 
wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe 
himself  in  water,  and  shall  be 
clean  at  even. 

20  But  the  man  that  shall  be 
unclean,  and  shall  not  purify 
himself,  that  soul  shall  be  cut 
off  from  among  the  congrega- 


tion, because  he  hath  defiled 
the  sanctuary  of  the  Lord  :  the 
water  of  separation  hath  not 
been  sprinkled  upon  him ;  he 
is  unclean. 

21  And  it  shall  be  a  perpetual 
statute  unto  them,  that  he  that 
sprinkleth  the  water  of  separa- 
tion shall  wash  his  clothes ;  and 
he  that  toucheth  the  water  of 
separation  shall  be  unclean  un- 
til even. 

22  And  whatsoever  the  un- 
clean person  toucheth  shall  be 
unclean;  and  the  soul  that 
toucheth  it  shall  be  unclean 
until  even.

against  Md'&es.  and  against 
Aar'on.

into  this  wilderness,  that  we 
and  our  cattle  should  die  there  ? 

5  And  wherefore  have  ye  made 
us  to  come  up  out  of  B'tfpt,  to 
bring  us  in  unto  this  evuplace  ? 
it  is  no  place  of  seed,  or  of  figs, 
or  of  vines,  or  of  pomegranates ; 
neither  is  there  any  water  to 
drink. 

6  And  Mo'ses.  and  Aar'on  went 
from  the  presence  of  the  assem- 
bly unto  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation,  and 
they  fell  upon  their  faces :  and 
the  glory  of  the  Lord  appeared 
unto  them. 

7  IFAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MG'ses,  saying, 

8  Take  the  rod,  and  gather 
thou  the  assembly  together, 
thou,  and  Aar'on  thy  brother, 
and  speak  ye  unto  the  rock 
before  their  eyes;  and  it  shall 
give  forth  his  water,  and  thou 
shalt  bring  forth  to  them  water 
out  of  the  rock:  so  thou  shalt 
give  the  congregation  and  their 
beasts  drink. 

9  And  Md'ses.  took  the  rod 
from  before  the  Lord,  as  he 
commanded  him.

tion,  journeyed  from  Ka'desh, 
and  came  unto  mount  Hor. 

23  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
M5'geg  and  Aar'on  in  mount 
H6r,  by  the  coast  of  the  land  of 
£"dom,  saying, 

24  Afir^on  shall  be  gathered 
unto  his  neople:  for  he  shall 
not  enter  into  the  land  which 
I  have  given  unto  the  children 
of  ls/ra-el,  because  ye  rebelled 
against  my  word  at  the  water 
of  MeVi-bah. 

25  Take  Aar'on  and  £4<y&'2ar 
his  son,  and  bring  them  up  unto 
mount  H6r: 

26  And  atrip  Aar'on  of  his  gar- 
ments, and  put  them  upon  E-le- 
a'zar  his  son:  and  Aar'on  shall 
be  gathered  unto  his  people, 
and  shall  die  there. 

27  And  Mo'geg  did  as  the  Lord 
commanded:  and  they  went  up 
into  mount  Hor  in  the  sight  of 
all  the  congregation. 

28  And  Mo'sea  stripped  Aar'on 
of  his  garments,  and  put  thereup-

on died  there  in  the  top  of  the 
mount:  and  Mo'sea  ana  E-le-fi'- 
zar  came  down  from  the  mount 

29  And  when  all  the  congrega-

AND  when  king  A'rfid  the 
Ca'naan-ite,  which  dwelt  in 
the  south,  heard  tell  that  Is/rane! 
came  by  the  way  of  the  spies ; 
then  he  fought  against  Is/ra-el, 
and  took  some  of  them  prison- 
ers. 

2  And  ls/ra-el  vowed  a  vow  un- 
to the  Lord,  and  said,  If  thou 
wilt  indeed  deliver  this  people 
into  my  hand,  then  I  will  utterly 
destroy  their  cities. 

3  And  the  Lord-  hearkened  to 
the  voice  of  ls/ra*el,  and  deliv- 
ered up  the  Ca'n&an-ites;  and 
they  utterly  destroyed  them  and 
their  cities:  and  he  called  the

Red  sea,  to  compass  the  land  of

God,  and  against  Mo'sea,  Where- 
fore nave  ye  brought  us  up  out  of 
E'gjfot  to  die  in  the  wilderness  ?

10  And  MS'seg  and  Aar'on  gath- 
ered the  congregation  together 
before  the  rock,  and  he  said  un- 
to them,  Hear  now,  ye  rebels ; 
must  we  fetch  you  water  out  of 
this  rock? 

11  And  MB'ses  lifted  up  his 
hand,  and  with  his  rod  he  smote 
the  rock  twice :  and  the  water 
came  out  abundantly,  and  the 
congregation  drank,  and  their 
beasts  also. 

12  IF  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
M5'se§  and  Aar'on,  Because  ye 
believed  me  not,  to  sanctify  me 
in  the  eyes  of  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el,  therefore  ye  shall  not 
bring  this  congregation  into  the 
land  which  I  have  given  them. 

13  This  is  the  water  of  MeVi- 
bah;  because  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el  strove  with  the  Lord, 
and  he  was  sanctified  in  them. 

14  ITAnd  Mo'seg  sent  messen- 
gers from  Ka'desh  unto  the 
dng  of  E'dom,  Thus  aaith  thy 

brother  ls/ra-el,  Thou  knowest 
all  the  travel  that  hath  befall- 
en us: 

15  How  our  fathers  went  down 
into  E'gypt,  and  we  have  dwelt 
in  C'g^pt  a  long  time ;  and  the 
£-gyp'Uanfi  vexed  us,  and  our 
fathers: 

16  And  when  we  cried  unto  the 
LORD,  he  heard  our  voice,  and 
sent  an  angel,  and  hath  brought 
us  forth  out  of  E'fcjpt:  and,  be- 
hold, we  are  in  Ka  desh,  a  city 
in  the  uttermost  of  thy  border: 

17  Let  us  pass,  I  pray  thee, 
through  thy  country:  we  will 
not  pass  through  the  fields,  or 
through  the  vineyards,  neither 
will  we  drink  of  the  water  of 
the  wells:  we  will  go  bv  the 
king's  high  way,  we  will  not 
turn  to  the  right  hand  nor  to 
the  left,  until  we  have  passed 
thy  borders. 

18  And  E'dom  said  unto  him, 
Thou  shalt  not  pass  by  me,  lest 
I  come  out  against  thee  with 
the  sword. 

19  And  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
said  unto  him,  We  will  go  by  the 
high  war:  and  if  I  and  mv  cat- 
tle drink  of  thy  water,  then  I 
will  pa£  for  it :  I  will  only,  with- 
out doing  any  thing  else,  go 
through  on  my  feet. 

20  And  he  said,  Thou  shalt  not 
go  through..  And  E'dom  came 
out  against  him  with  much  peo- 
ple, and  with  a  strong  hancL 

21  Thus  E'dom  refused  to  rive 
Is/ra-el  passage  through  his  bor- 
der: wherefore  Is/ra-el  turned 
away  from  him.

pents  among  the  people,  and 
they  hit  the  people ;  and  much 
people  of  Ig'ra-el  died. 

7  Therefore  the  people  came 
to  Mo'geg,  and  said,  We  have 
sinned,  for  we  have  spoken 
against  the  Lord,  and  against 
thee;  pray  unto  the  Lord,  that 
he  take  away  the  serpents  from 
us.  And  Md'geg  prayed  for  the 
people. 

8  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Md'- 
geg,  Make  thee  a  fiery  serpent, 
and  set  it  upon  a  pole:  and  it 
shall  come  to  pass,  that  every 
one  that  is  bitten,  when  he  look- 
eth  upon  it,  shall  live. 

9  And  M5'geg  made  a  serpent 
of  brass,  and  put  it  upon  a  pole, 
and  it  came,  to  pass,  that  if  a 
serpent  had  bitten  any  man, 
when  he  beheld  the  serpent  of 
brass,  he  lived. 

10  IFAnd  the  children  of  ls/- 
ra-el  set  forward,  and  pitched  in 
Oljoth. 

11  And  they  journeyed  from 
01x>th,  and  pitched  at  If e-ab'a- 
rim,  in  the  wilderness  which  is 
before  Md'ab,  toward  the  sun- 
rising. 

12  if  From  thence  they  re- 
moved, and  pitched  in  the  val- 
ley of  Zfi'red. 

13  Prom  thence  they  removed, 
and  pitched  on  the  other  side  of 
Artidn,  which  is  in  the  wilder- 
ness that  cometh  out  of  the 
coasts  of  the  Am'6r-ites:  for 
Ar'nBn  is  the  border  of  Md'ab, 
between  MS'ab  and  the  Am'dr- 
ites. 

14  Wherefore  it  is  said  in  the 
book  of  the  wars  of  the  Lord, 
What  he  did  in  the  Red  sea,  and 
in  the  brooks  of  Ar'ndn, 

15  And  at  the  stream  of  the 
brooks  that  goeth  down  to  the 
dwelling  of  Ar,  and  lieth  upon 
the  border  of  Md'ab. 

16  IT  And  from  thence  they 
went  to  Be'er:  that  is  the  well 
whereof  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'geg,  Gather  the  people  to- 
gether, and  I  will  give  them 
water. 

17  Then  Ig'ra-el  sangthis  song, 
Spring  up,  0  well ;  sing  ye  unto 
it: 

18  The  princes  digged  the  well, 
the  nobles  of  the  people  digged 
it,  by  the  direction  of  the  law- 
giver, with  their  staves.  And 
from  the  wilderness  they  went 
toM&fta-nah: 

19  And  from  Mfit'ta-nah  to 
Nfi-hm-el:  and  from  Na-htfl- 
el  to  Ba'mdth : 

20  And  from  BSfmQth  in  the 
valley,  that  is  in  the  country  of 

162 


Md'ab,  to  the  top  of  Pig'gah, 
which  looketh  toward  Jesh'i- 
mdn. 

21  ITAnd  Ig'ra-el  sent  messen- 
gers unto  Srhon  king  of  the 
Am'dr-ites,  saying, 

22  Let  me  pass  through  thy 
land :  we  will  not  turn  into  the 
fields,  or  into  the  vineyards; 
we  will  npt  drink  of  the  waters 
of  the  well :  but  we  will  go  along 
by  the  king's  high  way,  until  we 
be  past  thy  borders. 

23  And  Srhdn  would  not  suffer 
Ig'ra-el  to  pass  through  his  bor- 
der:  but  Silrin  gathered  all  his 
people  together,  and  went  out 
against  Ig'ra-el  into  the  wilder- 
ness :  and  he  came  to  JaTiiz,  and 
fought  against  Ig'ra-el. 

24  And  Ig'ra-el  smote  him  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword,  and  pos- 
sessed nis  land  from  Ar'ndn  un- 
to JaVbfik,  even  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mdn :  for  the  border 
of  the  children  of  Am'mdn  was 
strong. 

25  And  Ig'ra-el  took  all  these 
cities:  and  lg'ra-el  dwelt  in  all 
the  cities  of  the  Am'dr-ites,  in 
Heshlrtra,  and  in  all  the  villages 
thereof. 

26  For  Hesh'bon  was  the  city 
of  Sfhfln  the  king  of  the  Am'dr- 
ites,  who  had  fought  against  the 
former  king  of  Md'ab,  and  taken 
all  his  land  out  of  his  hand,  even 
unto  Ar'ndn. 

27  Wherefore  they  that  speak 
in  proverbs  say,  Comeinto  flesh' 
bdn,  let  the  city  of  Sfhdn  be 
built  and  prepared : 

28  For  there  is  a  fire  gone  out 
of  Heshl>5n,  a  flame  from  the 
city  of  Sfhdn:  it  hath  con- 
sumed Ar  of  Md'ab,  and  the 
lords  of  the  high  places  of  Ar>- 
ndn. 

29  Woe  to  thee,  Md'ab !  thou 
art  undone,  0  people  of  Che~- 
mdsh:  he  hath  given  his  sons 
that  escaped,  and  his  daughters, 
into  captivity  unto  Si'hdn  king 
of  the  Am'dr-ites. 

30  We  have  shot  at  them; 
HeWbdn  is  perished  even  unto 
Di'bdn,  and  we  have  laid  them 


ML  Pissah.  fh  71.14, 


waste  even  unto  Nd'phah,  which 
reacheth  unto  Meo&ha. 

31  ITThus  fe'ra-el  dwelt  in  the 
land  of  the  Am'dr-ites. 

32  And  Mo'geg  sent  to  spy  out 
JS-a'zer,  and  they  took  the  vil- 
lages thereof,  and  drove  out  the 
Am'dr-ites  that  were  there. 

33  If  And  they  turned  and  went 
up  by  the  way  of  Ba'sh&n :  and 
Og  the  king  of  Ba'shSn  went  out 
against  them,  he,  and  all  his 
people,  to  the  battle  at  £d're~i.

the  people,  because  they  were 
many :  and  Md'ab  was  distressed 
because  of  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-eL 

4  And  MO'ab  said  unto  the  eld- 
ers of  MId"i-an,  Now  shall  this 
company  lick  up  all  that  are 
round  about  us,  as  the  ox  licketh 
up  the  grass  of  the  field.  And 
Bftlftk  the  son  of  Zip'por  was 
king  of  the  Mo'ab-ltea  at  that 


5  He  sent  messengers  therefore 
unto  Balaam  the  son  of  Bfc'or  to 
Pa'thdr,  which  is  by  the  river  of 
the  land  of  the  children  of  his 
people,  to  call  him,  saying,  Be- 
hold, there  is  a  people  come  out 
from  AVgypt :  behold,  they  cover 
the  face  of  the  earth,  and  they 
abide  over  against  me: 

6  Come  now  therefore,  I  pray 
thee,  curse  me  this  people;  for 
they  are  too  mighty  tor  me :  per- 
adventure  I  shall  prevail,  that 
we  may  smite  them,  and  that  I 
may  drive  them  out  of  the  land : 
for  I  wot  that  he  whom  thou 
blessest  is  blessed,  and  he  whom 
thou  cursest  is  cursed. 

7  And  the  elders  of  Md'ab  and 
the  elders  of  MidT-an  departed 
with  the  rewards  of  divination 
in  their  hand;  and  they  came 
unto  BSlaam,  and  spake  unto 
him  the  words  of  Bftlfik. 

8  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Lodge  here  this  night;  and  I  will 
bring  you  word  again,  as  the 
Lord  shall  speak  unto  me:  and 
the  princes  of  Mffab  abode  with 
Balaam. 

9  And  God  came  unto  Balaam, 
and  said.  What  men  ore  these 
with  thee? 

10  And  Balaam  said  unto  God, 


Bal&k  the  son  of  Zip'por,  king  of 
Md'ab,  hath  sent  unto  me,  say- 
ing, 

11  Behold,  there  is  a  people 
come  out  of  B'gjfrt,  which  cov- 
ereth  the  face  of  the  earth: 
come  now,  curse  me  them ;  per- 
adventure  I  shall  be  able  to  over- 
come them,  and  drive  them  out 

12  And  God  said  unto  Ba'- 
laam,  Thou  shalt  not  go  with 
them ;  thou  shalt  not  curse  the 
people :  for  they  are  blessed. 

13  And  Balaam  rose  up  in 
the  morning,  and  said  unto  the 
princes  of  Balftk,  Get  you  into 
your  land:  for  the  Lord  refus- 
eth  to  give  me  leave  to  go  with 
you. 

14  And  the  princes  of  Md'ab 
rose  up,  and  they  went  unto 
Baiak,  and  said,  Balaam  refus- 
eth  to  come  with  us. 

15  %  And  Brisk  sent  yet  again 
princes,  more,  and  more  hon- 
ourable than  they. 

16  And  they  came  to  Balaam, 
and  said  to  him,  Thus  saith  Ba'- 
lak  the  son  of  Zip'por,  Let  noth- 
ing, I  pray  thee,  hinder  thee 
from  coming  unto  me: 

17  For  I  will  promote  thee  un- 
to very  great  honour,  and  I  will 
do  whatsoever  thou  say  est  unto 
me :  come  therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
curse  me  this  people. 

18  And  Balaam  answered  and 
said  unto  the  servants  of  Ba' 
lak,  If  Baiak  would  give  me  his 
house  full  of  silver  and  gold,  I 
cannot  go  beyond  the  word  of 
the  Lord  my  God,  to  do  less  or 
more. 

19  Now  therefore,  I  pray  you, 
tarry  ye  also  here  this  night, 
that  I  may  know  what  the  Lord 
will  say  unto  me  more. 

20  And  God  came  unto  Ba'- 
laam  at  night,  and  said  unto 
him,  If  the  men  come  to  call 
thee,  rise  up,  and  go  with 
them ;  but  yet  the  word  which 
I  shall  say  unto  thee,  that  shalt 
thou  do.. 

21  And  Balaam  rose  up  in  the 
morning,  and  saddled  his  ass, 
and  went  with  the  princes  of 
M5'ab. 

22  ITAnd  God's  anger  was  kin- 
dled because  he  went :  and  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  stood  in  the 
way  for  an  adversary  against 
him.  Now  he  was  riding  upon 
his  ass,  and  his  two  servants 
were  with  him. 

23  And  the  ass  saw  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  standing  in  the 
way,  and  his  sword  drawn  in 
his  hand:  and  the  ass  turned 
aside  out  of  the  way,  and  went 
into  the   field:    and  Balaam

smote  the  ass,  to  turn  her  into 
the  way. 

24  But  the  angel  of  the  LORD 
stood  in  a  oath  of  the  vine- 
yards, a  wall  being  on  this  side, 
and  a  wall  on  that  side. 

25  And  when  the  ass  saw  the 
angel  of  the  Lord,  she  thrust 
herself  unto  the  wall,  and 
crashed  Balaam's  foot  against 
the  wall:  and  he  smote  her 
again. 

26  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
went  further,  and  stood  in  a 
narrow  place,  where  was  no 
way  to  turn  either  to  the  right 
hand  or  to  the  left 

27  And  when  the  ass  saw  the 
angel  of  the  Lord,  she  fell 
down  under  Balaam :  and  Ba- 
laam's anger  was  kindled,  and 
he  smote  the  ass  with  a  staff. 

28  And  the  Lord  opened  the 
mouth  of  the  ass,  and  she  said 
unto  Balaam,  What  have  I  done 
unto  thee,  that  thou  hast  smit- 
ten me  these  three  times? 

29  And  Balaam  said  unto  the 
ass,  Because  thou  hast  mocked 
me :  I  would  there  were  a  sword 
in  mine  hand,  for  now  would  I 
kill  thee. 

30  And  the  ass  said  unto  BS' 
laam,  Am  not  I  thine  ass,  upon 
which  thou  hast  ridden  ever 
since  I  was  thine  unto  this 
day?  was  I  ever  wont  to  do  so 
unto  thee?    And  he  said,  Nay, 

31  Then  the  Lord  opened  the 
eyes  of  Balaam,  ana  he  saw 
the  angel  of  the  Lord  stand- 
ing in  the  way,  and  his  sword 
drawn  in  his  hand:  and  he 
bowed  down  his  head,  and  fell 
flat  on  his  face. 

32  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  him,  Wherefore  hast 
thou  smitten  thine  ass  these 
three  times?  behold,  I  went  out 
to  withstand  thee,  because  thy 
way  is  perverse  before  me: 

33  And  the  ass  saw  me,  and 
turned  from  me  these  three 
times:  unless  she  had  turned 
from  me,  surely  how  also  1  had 
slain  thee,  and  saved  her  alive. 

34  And  Balaam  said  unto  the 
angel  of  the  Lord,  I  have 
sinned;  for  I  knew  not  that 
thou  stoodest  in  the  way 
against  me:  now  therefore,  if 
it  displease  thee,  I  will  get  me 
back  again. 

35  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  Balaam,  Go  with  the 
men :  but  only  the  word  that  I 
shall  speak  unto  thee,  that  thou 
shalt  speak.  So  Balaam  went 
with  the  princes  of  Baiak. 

36  lAnd  when  Baiak  heard 
that  Balaam  was  come,  he  went 


out  to  meet  him  unto  a  city  of 
M5'ab,  which  is  in  the  border 
of  Artidn,  which  is  in  the  ut- 
most coast. 

37  And  Baiak  said  unto  Ba- 
laam, Did  I  not  earnestly  send 
unto  thee  to  call  thee?  where- 
fore earnest  thou  not  unto  me? 
am  I  not  able  indeed  to  promote 
thee  to  honour? 

38  And  Balaam  said  unto  BT« 
lak,  Lo,  I  am  come  unto  thee : 
have  I  now  any  power  at  all  to 
say  any  thing?  the  word  that 
God  putteth  in  my  mouth,  that 
shall  I  speak. 

39  And  Balaam  went  with 
Baiak,  and  they  came  unto  Kir'- 
jath-hu'zoth. 

40  And  Baiak  offered  oxen 
and  sheep,  and  sent  to  Balaam, 
and  to  the  princes  that  were 
with  him, 

41  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  Baiak  took  BT- 
laam,  and  brought  him  up  into 
the  high  places  of  Ba'al,  that 
thence  he  might  see  the  utmost 
part  of  the  people. 

CHAPTER  23 

Baiak' s  sacrifices.     7,  18  Balaam's 
parables, 

AND  Balaam  said  unto  Ba'. 
lak,  Build  me  here  seven 
altars,  and  prepare  me  here 
seven  oxen  and  seven  rams. 

2  And  Baiak  did  as  Balaam 
had  spoken;  and  Baiak  and 
Balaam  offered  on  every  altar 
a  bullock  and  a  ram. 

3  And  Balaam  said  unto  Ba' 
lak,  Stand  by  thy  burnt  offer- 
ing, and  I  will  go:  peradven- 
ture  the  Lord  willcome  to  meet 
me:  and  whatsoever  he  shew- 
eth  me  I  will  tell  thee.  And  he 
went  to  an  high  place. 

4  And  God  met  Balaam :  and 
he  said  unto  him,  I  have'  pre- 
pared seven  altars,  and  I  have 
offered  upon  every  altar  a  bul- 
lock and  a  ram. 

5  And  the  Lord  put  a  word  in 
Balaam's  mouth,  and  said,  Re- 
turn unto  Baiak,  and  thus  thou 
shalt  speak. 

6  And  he  returned  unto  him, 
and,  lo,  he  stood  by  his  burnt 
sacrifice,  he,  and  all  the  princes 
of  M5'ab. 

7  And  he  took  up  his  parable, 
and  said,  Baiak  the  king  of 
Mo'ab  hath  brought  me  from 
A'ram,  out  of  the  mountains  of 
the  east,  saying,  Come,  curse 
me  Jfi'cob,  and  come,  defy  Is> 
ra-el. 

8  How  shall  I  curse,  whom  God 
hath  not  cursed  ?  or  how  shall  I 
defy,  whom  the  Lord  hath  not 
defied?

I  see  him,  and  from  the  hills  I 
behold  him :  lo,  the  people  shall 
dwell  alone,  and  shall  not  be

10  Who  can  count  the  dust  of

fourth  part  of  ls'ra-el  ?  Let  me 
die  the  death  of  the  righteous, 
and  let  my  last  end  be  like  his ! 

11  And  Bal&k  said  unto  BS'- 
laam,  What  hast  thou  done  un- 
to me?  I  took  thee  to  curse 
mine  enemies,  and,  behold,  thou 
hast  blessed  them  altogether. 

12  And  he  answered  and  said, 
Must  I  not  take  heed  to  speak 
that  which  the  Lord  hath  put 
in  my  mouth  ? 

13  And  Balak  said  unto  him, 
Come,  I  pray  thee,  with  me  un- 
to another  place,  from  whence 
thou  may  est  see  them:  thou 
shalt  see  but  the  utmost  part 
of  them,  and  shalt  not  see  them 
all:  and  curse  me  them  from 
thence. 

14  f  And  he  brought  him  into 
the  field  of  Zd'phim,  to  the  top 
of  Pig'gah,  and  built  seven  al- 
tars, and  offered  a  bullock  and 
a  ram  on  every  altar. 

15  And  he  said  unto  Balak, 
Stand  here  by  thy  burnt  offer- 
ing, while  I  meet  the  Lord 
yonder. 

16  And  the  Lord  met  Balaam, 
and  put  a  word  in  his  mouth, 
and  said.  Go  again  unto  Balak, 
and  say  thus. 

17  And  when  he  came  to  him, 
behold,  he  stood  by  his  burnt 
offering,  and  the  princes  of  M5'- 
ab  with  him.  And  Balak  said 
unto  him,  What  hath  the  Lord 
spoken? 

18  And  he  took  up  his  parable, 
and  said,  Rise  up,  Balak,  and 
hear;  hearken  unto  me,  thou 
son  of  Zip'por: 

19  God  is  not  a  man,  that  he 
should  lie;  neither  the  son  of 
man,  that  he  should  repent 
hath  he  said,  and  shall  he  not 
do  it  ?  or  hath  he  spoken,  and 
shall  he  not  make  it  good? 

20  Behold,  I  have  received 
commandment  to  bless:  and 
he  hath  blessed;  and  I  cannot 
reverse  it 

21  He  hath  not  beheld  iniq- 
uity in  Ja'cob,  neither  hath  he 
seen  perverseness  in  la'ra-el: 
the  Lord  his  God  is  with  him, 
and  the  shout  of  a  king  is 
among  them. 

22  God  brought  them  out  of 
ffgypt ;  he  hath  as  it  were  the 
strength  of  an  unicorn. 

23  Surely  there  is  no  enchant- 
ment against  Ja'cob,  neither  is 


there  any  divination  against  Is/- 
ra-el :  according  to  this  time  it 
shall  be  said  of  Ja'cob  and  of  I9'- 
ra-el,  What  hath  God  wrought ! 

24  Behold,  the  people  shall  rise 
up  as  a  great  lion,  and  lift  up 
himself  as  a  young  lion:  he 
shall. not  lie  down  until  he  eat 
o/the  prey,  and  drink  the  blood 
of  the  slain. 

25  f  And  Balak  said  unto  Ba- 
laam, Neither  curse  them  at'all, 
nor  bless  them  at  all. 

26  But  Balaam  answered  and 
said  unto  Balak,  Told  not  I  thee, 
saving,  All  that  the  Lord  speak- 
eth,  that  I  must  do? 

27  f  And  Balak  said  unto  Ba'- 
laam,  Come,  I  pray  thee,  I  will 
bring  thee  unto  another  place ; 
peradventure  it  will  please  God 
that  thou  mayest  curse  me  them 
from  thence. 

28  And  Bfiiak  brought  Balaam 
unto  the  top  of  PS'or,  that  look- 
eth  toward  Jesh'i-mOn. 

29  And  Balaam  said  unto  Ba'- 
lftk,  Build  me  here  seven  altars, 
and  prepare  me  here  seven  bul 
locks  and  seven  rams. 

30  And  Balak  did  as  Balaam 
had  said,  and  offered  a  bullock 
and  a  ram  on  every  altar. 

CHAPTER  24 
Balaam  foretslleth  Israel' *   happi- 
ness: 15  he    prophesieth    0/  the 
Star  of  Jacob,   eta, 

AND  when  Balaam  saw  that 
it  pleased  the  Lord  to  bless 
ls'ra-el,  he  went  not,  as  at  other 
times,  to  seek  for  enchantments, 
but  he  set  his  face  toward  the 
wilderness. 

2  And  Balaam  lifted  up  his 
eyes,  and  he  saw  ls'ra-el  abid- 
ing in  his  tents  according  to 
their  tribes;  and  the  spirit  of 
God  came  upon  him. 

3  And  he  took  up  his  parable, 
and  said,  Balaam  the  son  of 
Be'or  hath  said,  and  the  man 
whose  eyes  are  open  hath  said : 

4  He  hath  said,  which  heard 
the  words  of  God,  which  saw  the 
vision  of  the  Almighty,  falling 
into  a  trance,  but  having  his 
eyes  open : 

5  How  goodly  are  thy  tents,  O 
Ja'cob,  and  thy  tabernacles,  0 
ls'ra-el! 

6  As  the  valleys  are  they 
spread  forth,  as  gardens  by  the 
river's  side,  as  the  trees  of  lign 
aloes  which  the  Lord  hath 
planted,  and  as  cedar  trees  be- 
side the  waters. 

7  He  shall  pour  the  water  out 
of  his  buckets,  and  his  seed 
shall  be  in  many  waters,  and 
his  king  shall  be  higher  than

A'gfig,  and  his  kingdom  shall 
be  exalted. 

8  God  brought  him  forth  out 
of  E'gypt;  he  hath  as  it  were 
the  strength  of  an  unicorn :  he 
shall  eat  up  the  nations  his 
enemies,  and  shall  break  their 
bones,  and  pierce  them  through 
with  his  arrows. 

9  He  couched,  he  lay  down 
a  lion,  and  as  a  great  lion :  who 
shall  stir  him  up  ?  Blessed  is  he 
that  blesseth  thee,  and  cursed  is 
he  that  curseth  thee. 

10  UAnd  Back's  anger  was 
kindled  against  Balaam,  and 
he  smote  his  hands  together: 
and  Bfilik  said  unto  Balaam,  I 
called  thee  to  curse  mine  ene- 
mies, and,  behold,  thou  hast  al- 
together blessed  them  these 
three  times. 

11  Therefore  now  flee  thou  to 
thy  place :  I  thought  to  promote 
thee  unto  great  honour;  but,lo, 
the  Lord  hath  kept  thee  back 
from  honour. 

12  And  Balaam  said  unto  B§'- 
lftk.  Spake  I  not  also  to  thy  mes- 
sengers which  thou  sentest  unto 
me,  saying, 

13  If  BaylSk  would  give  me  his 
house  full  of  silver  and  gold,  I 
cannot  go  beyond  the  command- 
ment of  the  Lord,  to  do  either 
good  or  bad  of  mine  own  mind ; 
out  what  the  Lord  saith,  that 
will  I  speak? 

14  And  now,  behold,  I  go  un- 
to my  people :  come  therefore, 
and  I  will  advertise  thee  what 
this  people  shall  do  to  thy  peo- 
ple in  the  latter  days. 

15  And  he  took  up  his  parable, 
and  said,  Balaam  the  son  of 
Be'or  hath  said,  and  the  man 
whose  eyes  are  open  hath  said : 

16  He  hath  said,  which  heard 
the  words  of  God,  and  knew  the 
knowledge  of  the  most  High, 
which  saw  the  vision  of  the 
Almighty,  falling  into  a  trance, 
but  having  his  eyes  open : 

17  I  shall  see  him,  but  not 
now:  I  shall  behold  him,  but 
not  nigh:  there  shall  come  a 
Star  out  of  Ja'cob,  and  a  Scep- 
tre shall  rise  out.  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
shall  smite  the  corners  of  Mo'- 
ab,  and  destroy  all  the  children 
of  Sh£th. 

18  And  E'dom  shall  be  a  pos- 
session, Selr  also  shall  be  a 
possession  for  his  enemies ;  and 
Is'ra-el  shall  do  valiantly. 

19  Out  of  Ja'cob  shall  come  he 
that  shall  have  dominion,  and 
shall  destroy  him  that  remain- 
eth  of  the  city. 

20  And  when  he  looked  on 
Am'a-lgk,  he  took  up  his  par- 


able, and  said,  Am'a-lelc  was 
the  first  of  the  nations;  but 
his  latter  end  shall  be  that  he 
perish  for  ever. 

21  And  he  looked  on  the  Ken' 
ites,  and  took  up  his  parable, 
and  said,  Strong  is  thy  dwelling- 
place,  and  thou  puttest  thy  nest 
in  a  rock. 

22  Nevertheless  the  Kenlte 
shall  be  wasted,  until  As'shur 
shall  carry  thee  away  captive. 

23  And  he  took  up  his  parable, 
and*  said,  Alas,  who  shall  live 
when  God  doeth  this ! 

24  And  ships  shall  com*  from 
the  coast  of  Chlf  tim,  and  shall 
afflict  As'shur,  and  shall  afflict 
£l>er,  and  he  also  shall  perish 
for  ever. 

25  And  Balaam  rose  up,  and 
went  and  returned  to  his  place 
and  Balik  also  went  his  way.

AND  ls'ra*l  abode  in  Shif- 
tim,  and  the  people  began 
to  commit  whoredom  with  the 
daughters  of  Mffab. 

2  And  they  called  the  people 
unto  the  sacrifices  of  their  gods : 
and  the  people  did  eat,  and 
bowed  down  to  their  gods. 

3  And  Is'ra-el  joined  himself 
untoBfi'al-pe'or:  and  the  anger 
of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against 
Is'ra-el. 

4  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md'seg,  Take  all  the  heads  of 
the  people,  and  hang  them  up 
before  the  Lord  against  the 
sun,  that  the  fierce  anger  of  the 
Lord  may  be  turned  away  from 
la'ra-el. 

5  And  M6'§e§  said  unto  the 
judges  of  Is'ra-el,  Slay  ye  every 
one  his  men  that  were  joined 
unto  Ba'al-pe'or. 

6  IT  And,  behold,  one  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  came  and  brought 
unto  his  brethren  a  Midl-an- 
it-ish  woman  in  the  sight  of 
Mo'ses,  and  in  the  sight  of  all 
the  congregation  of  the  children 
Of  Is'ra-el,  who  were  weeping 
before  the  door  of  the  taberna- 
cle of  the  congregation. 

7  And  when  Phln'e-has,  the 
son  of  &l&4'zar,  the  son  of 
Aar'on  the  priest,  saw  it,  he 
rose  up  from  among  the  con- 
gregation, and  took  a  javelin 
in  his  hand ; 

8  And  he  went  after  the  man 
of  Is'ra-el  into  the  tent,  and 
thrust  both  of  them  through, 
the  man  of  Is'ra-el,  and  tile 
woman  through  her  belly.    So

9  And  those  that  died  in  the

10  YAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto

S'sar,  the  son  of  ASr*on  the 
priest,  hath  turned  my  wrath 
away  from  the  children  of  Is/ra- 
el,  while  he  was  sealous  for  my 
sake  among  them,  that  I  con- 
sumed not  the  children  of  Is/- 
ra-el  in  my  jealousy. 

12  Wherefore  say,  Behold,  I 
give  unto  him  my  covenant  of 
peace: 

13  And  he  shall  have  it,  and 
his  seed  after  him,  even  the 
covenant  of  an  everlasting 
priesthood ;  because  he  was 
sealous  for  his  God,  and  made 
an  atonement  for  the  children 
of  Is/ra-eL 

14  Now  the  name  of  the  Is/ra- 
el-ite  that  was  slain,  even  that 
was  slain  with  the  Mtdl-an-it-ish 
woman,  was  Zim'ri,  the  son  x>f 
Sfilu,  a  prince  of  a  chief  house 
among  the  Sfm'e-on-ites. 

15  And  the  name  of  the  Midi- 
an-it-ish  woman  that  was  slain 
was  CoVbi,  the  daughter  of  Zur ; 
he  was  head  over  a  people,  and 
of  a  chief  house  in  MIdi-an. 

16  f  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
M5'se|,  saying, 

17  Vex  the  Mid%an-ites,  and 
smite  them : 

18  For  they  vex  you  with  their 
wiles,  wherewith  they  have  be- 
guiled you  in  the  matter  of 
Pg'or,  and  in  the  matter  of 
CoVbl,  the  daughter  of  a  prince 
of  Afid"i-an,  their  sister,  which 
was  slain  in  the  day  of  the 
plague  for  PS'or's  sake.

52  IT  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'ses,  saying, 

53  Unto  these  the  land  shall 
he  divided  for  an  inheritance 
according  to  the  number  of 
names. 

54  To  many  thou  shalt  give 
the  more  inheritance,  and  to 
few  thou  shalt  give  the  less  in- 
heritance: to  every  one  shall 
his  inheritance  he  given  ac- 
cording to  those  that  were  num- 
bered of  him. 

55  Notwithstanding  the  land 
shall  be  divided  by  lot :  accord- 
ing to  the  names  of  the  tribes 
of  their  fathers  they  shall  in- 
herit 

56  According  to  the  lot  shall 
the  possession  thereof  be  di- 
vided between  many  and  few. 

57  f  And  these  are  they  that 
were  numbered  of  the  Le'vites 
after  their  families:  of  GeY- 
shdn,  the  family  of  the  GeY- 
shon-ites :  of  Kdliath,  the  fam- 
ily of  the  KoTiath-ites:  of 
MS-ra'ri,  the  family  of  the  M6- 
rS'rites. 

58  These  are  the  families  of 
the  Le'vites:  the  family  of  the 
Lib'nites,  the  family  of  the 
Hel>ron-!tes,  the  family  of  the 
Mahlites,  the  family  of  the  Mu'- 
shites,  the  family  of  the  K6'- 
rath-ites.  And  KChath  begat 
Am'r&m. 

59  And  the  name  of  Am'r&m's 
wife  tvae  Jdch'e-be'd,  the  daugh- 
ter of  Le'vi,  whom  her  mother 
baretoLS'viin&'gypt:  and  she 
bare  unto  Am'r&m  Aafon  and 
Mo'ses,  and  Mirt-am  their  sister. 

60  And  unto  Aar'on  was  born 
Na'dSb,  and  A-biTm.  £-le-a'zar, 
and  lth'a-mar. 

61  And  Na'dab  and  A-biTiu 
died,  when  they  offered  strange 
fire  before  the  Lord. 

62  And  those  that  were  num- 
bered of  them  were  twenty  and 
three  thousand,  all  males  from 
a  month  old  and  upward:  for 
they  were  not  numbered  among 
the  children  of  ls'ra-el,  because 
there  was  no  inheritance  given 
them  among  the  children  of  1s.'- 
ra-eL 

63  TThese  are  they  that  were 
numbered  by  Mo'ses.  and  E-le-a' 
zar  the  priest,  who  numbered 
the  children  of  ls'ra-el  in  the 
plains  of  Md'ab  by  Jordan  near 
JeYI-cho. 

64  But  among  these  there  was 
not  a  man  of  them  whom  M5'- 
seg  and  Aar'on  the  priest  num- 
bered, when  they  numbered  the 


children  of  ls'ra-el  in  the  wil- 
derness of  Si'nli. 
65  For  the  Lord  had  said  of 
them,  They  shall  surely  die  in 
the  wilderness.  And  there  was 
not  left  a  man  of  them,  save 
Caleb  the  son  of  J&phim'neh, 
and  Jdsh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun. 

CHAPTER  27 

The  daughters  o/Zelopkehad  sue  for 
an  inheritance.  6  The  law  of  in- 
heritance. 12  Moses  eueih  for  a 
euceeeeor:  18  Joehua  is  appointed. 

rpHEN  came  the  daughters  of 
X  Ze-lo'phe-h&d,  the  son  of 
He'pher,  the  son  of  Gil'e-ad,  the 
son  of  Ma'chlr,  the  son  of  MI- 
nfis'seh,  of  the  families  of  Mfi- 
n&s'seh  the  son  of  JO'seph :  and 
these  are  the  names  of  his 
daughters ;  Mahlah,  NO'ah,  and 
Hftglah,  and  Mil'cah,  and  Tir'- 
zah. 

2  And  they  stood  before  M5'- 
geg,  and  before  E-le-a'iar  the 
priest,  and  before  the  princes 
and  all  the  congregation,  by 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation,  saying, 

3  Our  father  died  in  the  wil- 
derness, and  he  was  not  in  the 
company  of  them  that  gathered 
themselves  together  against  the 
Lord  in  the  company  of  Kd'rah ; 
but  died  in  his  own  sin,  and  had 
no  sons. 

4  Why  should  the  name  of 
our  father  be  done  away  from 
among  his  family,  because  he 
hath  no  son?  Give  unto  us 
therefore  a  possession  among 
the  brethren  of  our  father. 

5  And  Mo'ses  brought  their 
cause  before  the  Lord.     . 

6  1f  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
MC'ses,  saying, 

7  The  daughters  of  ZMd'phe- 
had  speak  right:  thou  shalt 
surely  give  them  a  possession 
of  an  inheritance  among  their 
father's  brethren;  and  thou 
shalt  cause  the  inheritance  of 
their  father  to  pass  unto  them, 

8  And  thou  shalt  speak  unto 
the  children  of  ls'ra-el,  saying, 
If  a  man  die,  and  have  no  son, 
then  ye  shall  cause  his  inherit- 
ance to  pass  unto  his  daughter. 

9  And  if  he  have  no  daughter, 
then  ye  shall  give  his  inherit- 
ance unto  his  brethren. 

10  And  if  he  have  no  brethren, 
then  ye  shall  give  his  inherit- 
ance unto  his  father's  brethren. 

11  And  if  his  father  have  no 
brethren,  then  ye  shall  give  his 
inheritance  unto  his  kinsman 
that  is  next  to  him  of  his  fam- 
ily, and  he  shall  possess  it :  and 
it  shall  be  unto  the  children  of 
ls'ra-el  a  statute  of  judgment,

as  the  Lord  commanded  Mfi'ses. 

12  f  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
MS'gea,  Get  thee  up  into  this 
mount  Ab'a-rim,  and  see  the 
land  which  I  have  given  unto 
the  children  of  Is/ra-el. 

13  And  when  thou  hast  seen 
it,  thou  also  shait  be  gathered 
unto  thy  people,  as  AaVon  thy 
brother  was  gathered. 

14  For  ye  rebelled  against  my 
commandment  in  the  desert  of 
Zin,  in  the  strife  of  the  congre- 
gation, to  sanctify  me  at  the 
water  before  their  eyes:  that 
is  the  water  of  Mer  i-bah  in 
KA'desh  in  the  wilderness  of 
Zin. 

15  ITAndMS'sea  spake  unto  the 
Lord,  saying, 

16  Let  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
the  spirits  of  all  flesh,  set  a  man 
over  the  congregation, 

17  Which  may  go  out  before 
them,  and  which  may  go  in  be- 
fore them,  and  which  may  lead 
them  out,  and  which  may  bring 
them  in;  that  the  congregation 
of  the  Lord  be  not  as  sheep 
which  have  no  shepherd. 

18  ITAnd  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md'se*  Take  thee  Jdsh'u-a  the 
son  of  Nun,  a  man  in  whom  is 
the  spirit,  and  lay  thine  hand 
upon  him; 

19  And  set  him  before  E4e- 
a'zar  the  priest,  and  before  all 
the  congregation ;  and  give  him 
a  charge  in  their  sight. 

20  And  thou  shalt  put  some  of 
thine  honour  upon  him,  that  all 
the  congregation  of  the  children 
of  Is/ra-el  may  be  obedient. 

21  And  he  shall  stand  before 
E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  who  shall 
ask  counsel  for  him  after  the 
judgment  of  O'rim  before  the 
Lord:  at  his  word  shall  they 


the   children  of   Ig'ra-el  with 
him,  even  all  the  congregation. 

22  And  Mouses  did  as  the  Lord 
commanded  him:  and  he  took 
Jdsh'u-a,  and  set  him  before 
£-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and  before 
all  the  congregation : 

23  And  he  laid  his  hands  upon 
him,  and  gave  him  a  charge,  as 
the  Lord  commanded  by  the 
hand  of  Ms'ges.

tinual burnt  offering.  9  The  offer- 
ings on  the  eabbatK  11  the  new 
moons,  16  the  paesover,  etc. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'aes,  saying, 
2  Command  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el,  and  say  unto  them,  My 
offering,  and  my  bread  for  my 


sacrifices  made  by  fire,  for  a 
sweet  savour  unto  me,  shall  ye 
observe  to  offer  unto  me  in  their 
due  season. 

3  And  thou  shalt  say  unto 
them,  This  is  the  offering  made 
by  fire  which  ye  shall  offer  un- 
to the  Lord  ;  two  lambs  of  the 
first  year  without  spot  day  by 
day,  for  a  continual  burnt  offer- 
ing. 

4  The  one  lamb  shalt  thou 
offer  in  the  morning,  and  the 
other  lamb  shalt  thou  offer  at 
even; 

5  And  a  tenth  part  of  an  ephah 
of  flour  for  a  meat  offering, 
mingled  with  the  fourth  part 
of  an  hin  of  beaten  oil. 

6  R  is  a  continual  burnt  of- 
fering, which  was  ordained  in 
mount  Si'nfii  for  a  sweet  savour, 
a  sacrifice  made  by  fire  unto  the 
Lord. 

7  And  the  drink  offering  there- 
of shall  be  the  fourth  part  of 
an  hin  for  the  one  lamb :  in  the 
holy  place  shalt  thou  cause  the 
strong  wine  to  be  poured  unto 
the  Lord  for  a  drink  offering. 

8  And  the  other  lamb  shalt 
thou  offer  at  even :  as  the  meat 
offering  of  the  morning;  and  as 
the  drink  offering  thereof,  thou 
shalt  offer  it,  a  sacrifice  made 
by  fire,  of  a  sweet  savour  unto 
the  Lord. 

9  IT  And  on  the  sabbath  day 
two  lambs  of  the  first  year  with- 
out spot,  and  two  tenth  deals  of 
flour  for  a  meat  offering,  min- 
ted with  oil,  and  the  drink  of- 
ering  thereof : 

10  This  is  the  burnt  offering 
of  every  sabbath,  beside  the  con- 
tinual burnt  offering,  and  his 
drink  offering.

according  to  all  that  proceedeth

3  If  a  woman  also  vow  a  vow 
unto  the  Lord,  and  bind  her- 
self  by  a  bond,  being  in  her 
father  s  house  in  her  youth ; 

4  And  her  father  hear  her  vow, 
and  her  bond  wherewith  she 
hath  bound  her  soul,  and  her 
father  shall  hold  his  peace  at 
her:  then  all  her  vows  shall 
stand,  and  every  bond  where- 
with she  hath  bound  her  soul 
shall  stand. 

5  But  if  her  father  disallow  her 
in  the  day  that  he  heareth ;  not 
any  of  her  vows,  or  of  her  bonds 
wherewith  she  hath  bound  her 
soul,  shall  stand :  and  the  Lord 
shall  forgive  her,  because  her 
father  disallowed  her. 

6  And  if  she  had  at  all  an  hus- 
band, when  she  vowed,  or  ut- 
tered ought  out  of  her  lips, 
wherewith  she  bound  her  soul ; 

7  And  her  husband  heard  it, 
and  held  his  peace  at  her  in  the 
day  that  he  heard  it :  then  her 
vows  shall  stand,  and  her  bonds 
wherewith  she  bound  her  soul 
shall  stand. 

8  But  if  her  husband  disal- 
lowed her  on  the  day  that  he 
heard  it;  then  he  shall  make 
her  vow  which  she  vowed,  and 
that  which  she  uttered  with  her 
lips,  wherewith  she  bound  her 
soul,  of  none  effect:  and  the 
Lord  shall  forgive  her. 

9  But  every  vow  of  a  widow,  and 
of  her  that  is  divorced,  where- 
with they  have  bound  their  souls, 
shall  stand  against  her. 

10  And  if  she  vowed  in  her  hus- 
band's house,  or  bound  her  soul 
by  a  bond  with  an  oath ; 

11  And  her  husband  heard  it, 
and  held  his  peace  at  her,  and 
disallowed  her  not :  then  all  her 
vows  shall  stand,  and  every  bond 
wherewith  she  bound  her  soul 
shall  stand. 

12  But  if  her  husband  hath  ut- 
terly made  them  void  on  the  day 
he  heard  them;  then  whatso- 
ever proceeded  out  of  her  lips 
concerning  her  vows,  or  concern- 
ing the  bond  of  her  soul,  shall 
not  stand:  her  husband  hath 
made  them  void;  and  the  Lord 
shall  forgive  her. 

13  Every  vow,  and  every  bind- 
ing oath  to  afflict  the  soul,  her 
husband  may  establish  it,  or  her 
husband  may  make  it  void. 

14  But  if  her  husband  alto- 
gether hold  his  peace  at  her 
from  day  to  day;  then  he  es- 
tablished all  her  vows,  or  all 
her  bonds,  which  are  upon  her : 
he  confirmeth  them,  because  he 


held  his  peace  at  her  in  the  day 
that  he  heard  them, 

15  But  if  he  shall  any  ways 
make  them  void  after  that  he 
hath  heard  them  ;  then  he  shall 
bear  her  iniquity. 

16  These  are  the  statutes, 
which  the  Lord  commanded 
MS'scs,  between  a  man  and  his 
wife,  between  the  father  and 
his  daughter,  being  yet  in  her 
youth  in  her  father's  house. 

CHAPTER  31 

The  Mtdianites  spoiled,  and  Balaam 

slain.    13  Moses  is  wroth  with  the 

officers  for  saving  the  women  alive. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'ges,  saying;, 

2  Avenge  the  children  of  la'* 
ra-el  of  the  Mldl-an-ites :  after- 
ward shalt  thou  be  gathered  un- 
to thy  people. 

3  And  MQ'aes.  spake  unto  the 
people,  saying,  Arm  some  of 
yourselves  unto  the  war,  and 
let  them  go  against  the  Midl- 
an-ites,  and  avenge  the  Lord 
of  Midl-an. 

4  Of  every  tribe  a  thousand, 
throughout  all  the  tribes  of  Is/ 
ra-el,  shall  ye  send  to  the  war. 

5  So  there  were  delivered  out 
of  the  thousands  of  Is/ra-el,  a 
thousand  of  every  tribe,  twelve 
thousand  armed  for  war. 

6  And  M6'ae§  sent  them  to  the 
war,  a  thousand  of  every  tribe, 
them  and  Phin'e-has  the  son  of 
£-le-a'zar  the  priest,  to  the  war, 
with  the  holy  instruments,  and 
the  trumpets  to  blow  in  his 
hand. 

7  And  they  warred  against  the 
Midl-an-ites,  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Md'sea;  and  they  slew 
all  the  males. 

8  And  they  slew  the  kings  of 
Mldl-an,  beside  the  rest  of  them 
that  were  slain ;  namely,  £Vi, 
and  Relcem,  and  Zur,  and  Hur, 
and  Rtf»a,  five  kings  of  Mld'- 
I-an:  Balaam  also  the  son  of 
B£'or  they  slew  with  the  sword. 

9  And  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
took  all  the  women  of  Midl-an 
captives,  and  their  little  ones, 
and  took  the  spoil  of  all  their 
cattle,  and  all  their  flocks,  and 
all  their  goods. 

10  And  they  burnt  all  their 
cities  wherein  they  dwelt,  and 
all  their  goodly  castles,  with 
fire. 

11  And  they  took  all  the  spoil, 
and  all  the  prey,  both  of  men 
and  of  beasts. 

12  And  they  brought  the  cap- 
tives, and  the  prey,  and  the 
spoil,  unto  Mti'seg,  and  £le4'- 
zar  the  priest,  and  unto  the 
congregation  of  the  children  of

ls/ra-el,  onto  the  camp  at  the 

Jlains  of  Md'ab,  which  are  by 
dr'dan  near  JeVi-ch6. 

13  f  And  M5'sea»  and  B4e-£'zar 
the  priest,  and  all  the  princes  of 
the  congregation,  went  forth  to 
meet  them  without  the  camp. 

14  And  Mo'seg  was  wroth  with 
the  officers  of  the  host,  with  the 
captains  over  thousands,  and 
captains  over  hundreds,  which 
came  from  the  battle. 

15  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  them, 
Have  ye  saved  all  the  women 
alive? 

16  Behold,  these  caused  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  through  the 
counsel  of  Balaam,  to  commit 
trespass  against  the  fcORD  in 
the  matter  of  Pe'or,  and  there 
was  a  plague  among  the  con- 
gregation of  the  Lord. 

17  Now  therefore  kill  every 
male  among  the  little  ones,  and 
kill  every  woman  that  hath 
known  man  by  lying  with  him. 

18  But  all  the  women  chil- 
dren, that  have  not  known  a 
man  by  lying  with  him,  keep 
alive  for  yourselves. 

19  And  do  ye  abide  without  the 
camp  seven  days:  whosoever 
hath  killed  any  person,  and 
whosoever  hath  touched  any 
slain,  purify  both  yourselves 
and  your  captives  on  the  third 
day,  and  on  the  seventh  day. 

20  And  purify  all  your  rai- 
ment, and  all  that  is  made  of 
skins,  and  all  work  of  goats' 
hair,  and  all  things  made  of 
wood. 

21  IT  And  E-le-a'zar  the  priest 
said  unto  the  men  of  war  which 
went  to  the  battle,  This  is  the 
ordinance  of  the  law  which  the 
Lord  commanded  Mo'seg; 

22  Only  the  gold,  and  the  sil- 
ver, the  brass,  the  iron,  the  tin, 
and  the  lead, 

23  Every  thing  that  may  abide 
the  fire,  ye  shall  make  it  go 
through  the  fire,  and  it  shall 
be  clean :  nevertheless  it  shall 
be  purified  with  the  water  of 

X ration:  and  all  that  abid- 
not  the  fire  ye  shall  make 
go  through  the  water. 

24  And  ye  shall  wash  your 
clothes  on  the  seventh  day,  and 
ye  shall  be  clean,  and  after- 
ward ye  shall  Come  into  the 
camp. 

25  11  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'seg,  saying, 

26  Take  the  sum  of  the  prey 
that  was  taken,  both  of  man  and 
of  beast,  thou,  and  E-Ie-a'zar  the 
priest,  and  the  chief  fathers  of 
the  congregation : 

27  And  divide  the  prey  into 


two  parts;  between  them  that 
took  the  war  upon  them,  who 
went  out  to  battle,  and  between 
all  the  congregation : 

28  And  levy  a  tribute  unto  the 
Lord  of  the  men  of  war  which 
went  out  to  battle:  one  soul  of 
five  hundred,  both  of  the  per- 
sons, and  of  the  beeves,  ana  of 
the  asses,  and  of  the  sheep: 

29  Take  it  of  their  half,  and 
give  it  unto  £-le4L'zar  the  priest, 
for  an  heave  offering  of  the 
Lord. 

30  And  of  the  children  of  Is> 
ra-el's  half,  thou  shalt  take  one 
portion  of  fifty,  of  the  persona, 
of  the  beeves,  of  the  asses,  and 
of  the  flocks,  of  all  manner  of 
beasts,  and  give  them  unto  the 
Le'vites,  which  keep  the  charge 
of  die  tabernacle  of  the  Lord. 

31  And  Md'&es  and  E-Ie*&'zar 
the  priest  did  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Merges, 

32  And  the  booty,  being  the 
rest  of  the  prey  which  the  men 
of  war  had  caught,  was  six  hun- 
dred thousand  and  seventy  thou- 
sand and  five  thousand  sheep, 

33  And  threescore  and  twelve 
thousand  beeves, 

34  And  threescore  and  one 
thousand  asses, 

35  And  thirty  and  two  thou- 
sand persons  in  all,  of  women 
that  had  not  known  man  by  ly- 
ing with  him. 

36  And  the  half,  which  wan 
the  portion  of  them  that  went 
out  to  war,  was  in  number  three 
hundred  thousand  and  seven 
and  thirty  thousand  and  five 
hundred  sheep: 

37  And  the  Lord's  tribute  of 
the  sheep  was  six  hundred  and 
threescore  and  fifteen. 

38  And  the  beeves  were  thirty 
and  six  thousand ;  of  which  the 
Lord's  tribute  was  threescore 
and  twelve. 

39  And  the  asses  were  thirty 
thousand  and  five  hundred ;  of 
which  the  Lord's  tribute  was 
threescore  and  one. 

40  And  the  persons  were  six- 
teen thousand;  of  which  the 
Lord's  tribute  was  thirty  and 
two  persons. 

41  And  Md'seg  gave  the  trib- 
ute, which  was  the  Lord's 
heave  offering,  unto  &4e-a'zar 
the  priest,  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded MS'geg. 

42  And  of  the  children  of  !&'- 
ra-el's  half,  which  M5'ses.  divid- 
ed from  the  men  that  warred,

48  IT  And  the  officers  which 
were  over  thousands  of  the 
host,  the  captains  of  thousands, 
and  captains  of  hundreds,  came 
near  unto  MO'ses: 

49  And  they  said  unto  Mo'ses, 
Thy  servants  have  taken  the 
sum  of  the  men  of  war  which 
are  under  our  charge,  and  there 
lacketh  not  one  man  of  us. 

50  We  have  therefore  brought 
an  oblation  for  the  Lord,  what 
every  man  hath  gotten,  of  jew- 
els of  gold,  chains,  and  bracelets, 
rings,  earrings,  and  tablets,  to 
make  an  atonement  for  our 
souls  before  the  Lord. 

51  And  Md'sea.  and  £-le-a'zar 
the  priest  took  the  gold  of  them, 
even  all  wrought  jewels. 

52  And  ail  the  gold  of  the  of* 
ferine  that  they  offered  up  to 
the  Lord,  of  the  captains  of 
thousands,  and  of  the  captains 
of  hundreds,  was  sixteen  thou- 
sand seven  hundred  and  fifty 
shekels. 

53  (For  the  men  of  war  had 
taken  spoil,  every  man  for  him- 
self.) 

54  And  Md'ses  and  E-le-a'zar 
the  priest  took  the  gold  of  the 
captains  of  thousands  and  of 
hundreds,  and  brought  it  into  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
for  a  memorial  for  the  children 
of  Is/ra-el  before  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  32 

The  Reubenitee  and  Gadites  sue  for 
their  inheritance  on  the  east  tide 
of  Jordan,  < 

NOW  the  children  of  Reu'ben 
and  the  children  of  Gad 
had  a  very  great  multitude  of 
cattle :  and  when  they  saw  the 
land  of  J&'zSr,  and  the  land  of 
Gil'e-Sd,  that,  behold,  the  place 
was  a  place  for  cattle; 

2  The  children  of  Gad  and 
the  children  of  Reu'ben  came 
and  spake  unto  Md'sea,  and  to 
fi4e-&zar  the  priest,  and  unto 
the  princes  of  the  congregation, 
saying, 

3  At  a-rdth,  and  Dfbdn,  and 
Jt'ser,  and  NUm'rah,  and  Hesh'- 


bOn,  and  E-le-aleh,  and  She'- 
bam,  and  Ne'bd,  and  B€'5n, 

4  Even  the  country  which  the 
Lord  smote  before  the  congre- 
gation of  Ig'ra-el,  is  a  land  for 
cattle,  and  thy  servants  have 
cattle: 

5  Wherefore,  said  they,  if  we 
have  found  grace  in  thy  sight, 
let  this  land  be  given  unto  thy 
servants  for  a  possession,  ana 
bring  us  not  over  Jordan. 

6  1JAnd  M5'§es  said  unto  the 
children  of  G&d  and  to  the  chil- 
dren of  Reu'ben,  Shall  your 
brethren  go  to  war,  and  shall 
ye  sit  here? 

7  And  wherefore  discourage 
re  the  heart  of  the  children  of 
s'ra-el  from  going  over  into  the 

land  which  the  Lord  hath  given 
them? 

8  Thus  did  your  fathers,  when 
I  sent  them  from  KS'desh-bar'- 
ne-a  to  see  the  land. 

9  For  when  they  went  up  un- 
to the  valley  of  £sh'cdl,  and 
saw  the  land,  thev  discouraged 
the  heart  of  the  children  of  Is/ 
ra-el,  that  they  should  not  go 
into  the  land  which  the  Lord 
had  given  them. 

10  And  the  Lord's  anger  was 
kindled  the  same  time,  and  he 
aware,  saving, 

11  Surely  none  of  the  men 
that  came  up  out  of  B'gjrpt, 
from  twenty  years  old  ana  up- 
ward, shall  see  the  land  which 
I  aware  unto  Al>r5-ham,  unto 
I'saac,  and  unto  Jfi'cob ;  because 
they  have  not  wholly  followed 
me: 

12  Save  Caleb  the  son  of  J£- 
phun'neh  the  Ken'ez-ite,  and 
Jdsh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun :  f  orthey 
have  wholly  followed  the  Lord. 

13  And  the  Lord's  anger  was 
kindled  against  Ig'ra-el,  and  he 
made  them  wander  in  the  wil- 
derness forty  years,  until  all  the 
generation,  that  had  done  evil 
m  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  was 
consumed; 

14  And,  behold,  ye  are  risen 
up  in  your  fathers'  stead,  an  in- 
crease of  sinful  men,  to  aug- 
ment yet  the  fierce  anger  of  the 
Lord  toward  Ia'ra-eL 

15  For  if  ye  turn  away  from 
after  him,  he  will  yet  again 
leave  them  in  the  wilderness; 
and  ye  shall  destroy  all  this 
people. 

16  ITAnd  they  came  near  unto 
him,  and  said,  We  will  build 
sheepfolds  here  for  our  cattle, 
and  cities  for  our  little  ones : 

17  But  we  ourselves  will  £o

dren of  Is'ra-el,  until  we  have

and  our  little  ones  shall  dwell 
in  the  fenced  cities  because  of 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land. 

18  We  will  not  return  unto 
our  houses,  until  the  children 
of  Ig'ra-el  have  inherited  every 
man  his  inheritance. 

19  Forwewillnotinheritjwith 
them  on  yonder  side  Jdrtlan, 
or  forward ;  because  our  inherit 
ance  is  fallen  to  us  on  this  side 
Jdr/dan  eastward. 

20  IT  And  Md'ges  said  unto 
them,  If  ye  will  do  this  thing, 
if  ye  will  go  armed  before  the 
Lord  to  war, 

21  And  will  go  all  of  you 
armed  over  Jordan  before  the 
Lord,  until  he  hath  driven  out 
his  enemies  from  before  him, 

22  And  the  land  be  subdued 
before  the  Lord:  then  after 
ward  ye  shall  return,  and  be 
guiltless  before  the  Lord,  and 
before  lg'ra-el;  and  this  land 
shall  be  your  possession  before 
the  Lord. 

23  But  if  ye  will  not  do  so,  be- 
hold, ye  have  sinned  against 
the  Lord  :  and  be  sure  your  sin 
will  find  you  out. 

24  Build  you  cities  for  your 
little  ones,  and  folds  for  your 
sheep ;  and  do  that  which  hath 
proceeded  out  of  your  mouth. 

25  And  the  children  of  GSd 
and  the  children  of  Reu'ben 
spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,"Thy 
servants  will  do  as  my  lord 
commandeth. 

26  Our  little  ones,  our  wives, 
our  flocks,  and  all  our  cattle, 
shall  be  there  in  the  cities  of 
Gil'e-ad: 

27  But  thy  servants  will  pass 
over,  every  man  armed  for  war, 
before  the  Lord  to  battle,  as 
my  lord  saith. 

28  So  concerning  them  Md"- 
se*  commanded  E-le-S'zar  the 
priest,  and  JoWu-a  the  son  of 
Kiln,  and  the  chief  fathers  of 
the  tribes  [of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el: 

29  And  Mfi'ses  said  unto  them, 
If  the  children  of  GSd  and  the 
children  of  Reu'ben  will  pass 
with  you  over  Jdr'dan,  every 
man  armed  to  battle,  before  the 
Lord,  and  the  land  shall  be 
subdued  before  you;  then  ye 
shall  give  them  the  land  of 
Gfl'e-aa  for  a  possession : 

JO  But  if  they  will  not  pass 
over  with  you  armed,  they  shall 
have  possessions  among  you  in 
the  land  of  C&'naan. 

31  And  the  children  of  GSd 
and  the  children  of  Reu'ben  an- 
swered, saying,  As  the  Lord 


hath  said  unto  thy  servants,  so 
will  we  do. 

32  We  will  pass  over  armed  be- 
fore the  Lord  into  the  land  of 
C&'naan,  that  the  possession  of 
our  inheritance  on  this  side  Jdr'- 
dan may  be  out's. 

33  And  Md'ges  gave  unto  them, 
even  to  the  children  of  GSd,  and 
to  the  children  of  Reu'ben,  and 
unto  half  the  tribe  of  M2-naY

dom of  SiTidn  king  of  the  Am'- 
dr-ites,  and  the  kingdom  of  Og 
king  of  Ba'sh&n,  the  land,  with 
the  cities  thereof  in  the  coasts, 
even  the  cities  of  the  country 
round  about 

34  f  And  the  children  of  Gfid 
built  Di'bdn,  and  Afa-rdth,  and 
Ar'o^r, 

35  And  Af  roth,  Shd'phan,  and 
Ja-a'zer,  and  J5p/be-hah, 

36  And  BeU-nim'rah,  and 
B€th~ha'ran,  fenced  cities :  and 
folds  for  sheep. 

37  And  the  children  of  Reu'ben 
built  HeWbdn,  and  E-le-fileh, 
and  Kir-jath-S'im, 

38  And  N?b5,  and  Ba'al-m?on, 
(their  names  being  changed,) 
and  Shib'mah:  and  gave  other 
names  unto  the  cities  which 
they  builded. 

39  And  the  children  of  Ma'chir 
the  son  of  Ma-n&s'seh  went  to 
Gil'e-Sd,  and  took  it,  and  dispos- 
sessed the  Am'dr-ite  which  was 
in  it. 

40  And  Mo'ses  gave  Cil'e-ad 
Unto  Ma'chir  the  son  of  MS-nas'- 
seh ;  and  he  dwelt  therein. 

41  And  Jalr  the  son  of  Ma-nfis'- 
seh  went  and  took  the  small 
towns  thereof,  and  called  them 
Ha'voth-jfilr. 

42  And  No'bah  went  and  took 
Ke'nath,  and  the  villages  there- 
of, and  called  it  Nd'bah,  after 
his  own  name.

4  For  the  fi-gjrp'tians  buried 
all  their  firstborn,  which  the 
Lord  had  smitten  among  them 
upon  their  gods  also  the  Lord 
executed  judgments. 

5  And  the  children,  of  ls/ra-el 
removed  from  Ra-mS'sea,  and 
pitched  in  Suc'coth. 

6  And  they  departed  from  Suc'- 
coth, and  pitched  in  B'tham, 
which  is  in  the  edge  of  the  wil-

7  And  they  removed  from 
B'tham,  and  turned  again  unto 
R'-ha-hi'roth,  which  is  before

before  Mlg'dol. 

8  And  they  departed  from  be-

through  the  midst  of  the  sea 
into  the  wilderness,  and  went 
three  days'  journey  in  the  wil-

in  lia'rah.

rah,  and  came  unto  Elim :  and 
in  Blfm  were  twelve  fountains 
of  water,  and  threescore  and  ten 
palm  trees;  and  they  pitched

ls'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them, 
When  ye  are  passed  over  Jdr'- 
dan  into  the  land  of  CS'nSan ; 

52  Then  ye  shall  drive  out  all 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land  from 
before  you,  and  destroy  all  their 
pictures,  and  destroy  all  their 
molten  images,  and  quite  pluck 
down  all  their  high  places : 

53  And  ye  shall  dispossess  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land,  and 
dwell  therein :  for  I  have  given 
you  the  land  to  possess  it 

54  And  ye  shall  divide  the  land 
by  lot  for  an  inheritance  among 
your  families :  and  to  the  more 
ye  shall  rive  the  more  inherit- 
ance, and  to  the  fewer  ye  shall 
give  the  less  inheritance :  every 
man's  inheritance  shall  be  in 
the  place  where  his  lot  falleth ; 
according  to  the  tribes  of  your 
fathers  ye  shall  inherit 

55  But  if  ye  will  not  drive  out 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land  from 
before  you;  then  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  that  those  which  ye  let 
remain  of  them  shall  be  pricks 
in  your  eyes,  and  thorns  in  your 
Sides,  and  shall  vex  you  in  the 
land  wherein  ye  dwell.

as  I  thought  to  do  unto  them.

5  And  ye  shall  measure  from

his  hand,  that  he  die :  he  that 
smote  him  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death ;  for  he  w  a  murderer 
the  revenger  of  blood  shall  Slav 
the  murderer,  when  he  meeteth 
him. 

22  But  if  he  thrust  him  sud- 
denly without  enmity,  or  have 
cast  upon  him  any  thing  with- 
out laying  of  wait, 

23  Or  with  any  stone,  where- 
with a  man  may  die,  seeing  him 
not,  and  cast  it  upon  him,  that 
he  die,  and  was  not  his  enemy, 
neither  sought  his  harm : 

24  Then  the  congregation  shall 
judge  between  the  slayer  and 
the  revenger  of  blood  accord- 
ing to  these  judgments : 

25  And  the  congregation  shall 
deliver  the  slayer  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  revenger  of  blood, 
and  the  congregation  shall  re- 
store him  to  the  city  of  his  ref- 
uge, whither  he  was  fled :  and 
he  shall  abide  in  it  unto  the 
death  of  the  high  priest,  which 
was  anointed  with  the  holy  oil. 

26  But  if  the  slayer  shall  at 
any  time  come  without  the  bor- 
der of  the  city  of  his  refuge, 
whither  he  was  fled ; 

27  And  the  revenger  of  blood 
And  him  without  the  borders  of 
the  city  of  his  refuge,  and  the 
revenger  of  blood  kill  the  slay- 
er; he  shall  not  be  guilty  of 
blood: 

28  Because  he  should  have  re- 
mained in  the  city  of  his  ref- 
uge until  the  death  of  the  high 
priest:  but  after  the  death  of 
the  high  priest  the  slayer  shall 
return  into  the  land  of  his  pos- 
session. 

29  So  these  things  shall  be  for 
a  statute  of  judgment  unto  you 
throughout  your  generations  in 
all  your  dwellings. 

30  Whoso  killeth  any  person, 
the  murderer  shall  be  out  to 
death  by  the  mouth  of  witness- 
es: but  one  witness  shall  not 
testify  against  any  person  to 
cause  him  to  die. 

31  Moreover  ye  shall  take  no 
satisfaction  for  the  life  of  a 
murderer,  which  is  guilty  of 
death :  but  he  shall  be  surely 
put  to  death. 

32  And  ye  shall  take  no  satis- 


faction for  him  that  is  fled  to 
the  city  of  his  refuge,  that  he 
should  come  again  to  dwell  in 
the  land,  until  the  death  of  the 
priest 

33  So  ye  shall  not  pollute  the 
land  wherein  ye  are  :  for  blood 
it  defileth  the  land:  and  the 
land  cannot  be  cleansed  of  the 
blood  that  is  shed  therein,  but 
by  the  blood  of  him  that  shed 
it 

34  Defile  not  therefore  the 
land  which  ye  shall  inhabit 
wherein  I  dwell :  for  I  the  Lord 
dwell  among  the  children  of 
Ig'ra-el. 

CHAPTER  36 

Of  the  inheritance  of  daughters.  5  Of 
marrying  in  their  own  tribe*. 

AND  the  chief  fathers  of  the 
families  of  the  children  of 
Gll'e4d,  the  son  of  Mfi'chlr,  the 
son  of  Ma-nas'seh,  of  the  fami- 
lies of  the  sons  of  Jd'seph,  came 
near,  and  spake  before  MS'seg, 
and  before  the  princes,  the  chief 
fathers  of  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el : 

2  And  they  said,  The  Lord 
commanded  my  lord  to  give  the 
land  for  an  inheritance  by  lot 
to  the  children  of  Is/ra-el :  and 
my  lord  was  commanded  by  the 
Lord  to  give  the  inheritance 
of  Z€-l5'phe-h&d  our  brother  un- 
to his  daughters. 

3  And  if  they  be  married  to 
any  of  the  sons  of  the  other 
tribes  of  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el, 
then  shall  their  inheritance  be 
taken  from  the  inheritance  of 
our  fathers,  and  shall  be  put  to 
the  inheritance  of  the  tribe 
whereunto  they  are  received 
so  shall  it  be  taken  from  the 
lot  of  our  inheritance. 

4  And  when  the  jubile  of  the 
children  of  Ig'ra-el  shall  be, 
then  shall  their  inheritance  be 
put  unto  the  inheritance  of  the 
tribe  whereunto  they  are  re- 
ceived: so  shall  their  inherit- 
ance be  taken  away  from  the 
inheritance  of  the  tribe  of  our 
fathers. 

5  And  M5'ges  commanded  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el  according  to 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  saving, 
The  tribe  of  the  sons  of  Jo  seph 
hath  said  well. 

6  This  is  the  thing  which  the 
Lord  doth  command  concern- 
ing the  daughters  of  ZS-lo'phe- 
hid,  saying,  Let  them  marry  to 
whom  they  think  best ;  only  to 
the  family  of  the  tribe  of  their 
father  shall  they  marry. 

7  So  shall  not  the  inheritance 
of  the  children  of  Ig'ra»el  re- 
move from  tribe  to  tribe  &  for

every  one  of  the  children  of 
ls'ra-el  shall  keep  himself  to  the 
inheritance  of  the  tribe  of  his 
fathers. 

8  And  every  daughter,  that 
possesseth  an  inheritance  in 
any  tribe  of  the  children  of  ls'- 
ra-el shall  be  wife  unto  one  of 
the  family  of  the  tribe  of  her 
father,  that  the  children  of  ls'- 
ra-el may  enjoy  every  man  the 
inheritance  of  his  fathers. 

9  Neither  shall  the  inheritance 
remove  from  one  tribe  to  an- 
other tribe;  but  every  one  of 
the  tribes  of  the  children  of  fg'- 
ra-el  shall  keep  himself  to  his 
own  inheritance. 

10  Even   as  the  Lord  com- 


manded   MO'ses,    so    did    the 
daughters  of  Z£-l6'phe-h&d  : 

11  For  MahTah,  Tir'zah,  and 
Hdglah,  and  Mll'cah,  and  NS'ah, 
the  daughters  of  ZS-lo'phe-h&d, 
were  married  unto  their  father's 
brothers*  sons : 

12  And  they  were  married  in- 
to the  families  of  the  sons  of 
MS-nas'seh  the  son  of  JG'geph, 
and  their  inheritance  remained 
in  the  tribe  of  the  family  of 
their  father. 

13  These  are  the  command- 
ments and  the  judgments, which 
the  Lord  commanded  by  the 
hand  of  Md'gea  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  la'rail  in  the  plains  of

CHAPTER  1 

Moms*  speech  at  the  end  of  the  for- 
tieth year.  6  He  briefly  rehears- 
eth  the  story  of  God* a  promise  to 
Israel,  34  and  hie  anger  for  their 
incredulity  and  disobedience. 

rpHESE  be  the  words  which 
JL  Md'&es  spake  unto  all  ls> 
ra-el  on  this  side  Jdrtlan  in  the 
wilderness,  in  the  plain  over 
against  the  Red  sea,  between 
Pfi'raa,  and  Tft'phel,  and  Li'* 
ban,  and  HS-ze'roth,  and  Dfe*- 
a-hfib. 

2  {There  are  eleven  days* 
journey  from  Ho'reb  by  the 
way  of  mount  Selr  unto  Ka'- 
desh-bar'ne-a.) 

3  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
fortieth  year,  in  the  eleventh 
month,  on  the  first  day  of  the 
month,  that  Md'ses.  spake  unto 
the  children  of  13'ra-el,  accord- 
ing unto  all  that  the  Lord  had 
given  him  in  commandment  un- 
to them ; 

4  After  he  had  slain  Sfhdn  the 
kins  of  the  Am'dr-ites,  which 
dwelt  in  Heshlrtn,  and  Og  the 
king  of  B&'sh&n,  which  dwelt 
at  As'ta-rdth  in  Ed're-i : 

5  On  this  side  Jdfdan,  in  the 
land  of  MCab,  began  Md'ges  to 
declare  this  law,  saying, 

6  The  Lord  our  God  spake 
unto  us  in  HS'reb,  saying,  Ye 
have  dwelt  long  enough  in  this 
mount : 

7  Turn  you,  and  take  your 
journey,  and  go  to  the  mount 
of  the  Am'dr-ites,  and  unto  all 
the  places  nigh  thereunto,  in 
the  plain,  in  the  hills,  and  in 
the  vale,  and  in  the  south,  and 
by  the  sea«  side,  to  the  land  of 


the  Ca'nfian-ites,  and  unto  LeV- 
a-non,  unto  the  great  river,  the 
river  Eu-phrfi'tea. 

8  Behold,  I  have  set  the  land 
before  you :  go  in  and  possess 
the  land  which  the  Lord  sware 
unto  your  fathers,  AlrcS-hfim, 
I'saac,  and  J&'cob,  to  give  unto 
them  and  to  their  seed  after 
them. 

9  HAnd  I  spake  unto  you  at 
that  time,  saying,  I  am  not  able 
to  bear  you  myself  alone : 

10  The  Lord  your  God  hath 
multiplied  you,  and,  behold,  ye 
are  this  day  as  the  stars  of 
heaven  for  multitude. 

11  (The  Lord  God  of  your  fa- 
thers make  you  a  thousand 
times  so  many  more  as  ve  are, 
and  bless  you,  as  he  hath  prom- 
ised you!) 

12  How  can  I  myself  alone 
bear  your  cumbrance,  and  your 
burden,  and  your  strife? 

13  Take  you  wise  men,  and  un- 
derstanding, and  known  among 
your  tribes,  and  I  will  make 
them  rulers  over  you. 

14  And  ye  answered  me,  and 
said,  The  thing  which  thou  hast 
spoken  is  good  for  us  to  do. 

15  So  I  took  the  chief  of  your 
tribes,  wise  men,  and  known, 
and  made  them  heads  over  you, 
captains  over  thousands,  and 
captains  over  hundreds,  and 
captains  over  fifties,  and  cap- 
tains over  tens,  and  officers 
among  your  tribes. 

16  And  I  charged  your  judges 
at  that  time,  saying,  Hear  the 
causes  between  your  brethren, 
and  judge  righteously  between

ever]/ man  and  his  brother,  and 
the  stranger  that  is  with  him. 

17  Ye  shall  not  respect  persons 
in  judgment;  but  ye  shall  hear 
the  small  as  well  as  the  great ; 
ye  shall  not  be  afraid  of  the 
face  of  man ;  for  the  judgment 
is  God's:  and  the  cause  that  is 
too  hard  for  you,  bring  it  unto 
me,  and  I  will  hear  it 

IS  And  I  commanded  you  at 
that  time  all  the  things  which 
ye  should  do. 

19  If  And  when  we  departed 
from  Ho'reb,  we  went  through 
all  that  great  and  terrible  wil- 
derness, which  ye  saw  by  the 
way  of  the  mountain  of  the 
Am'or-ites,  as  the  Lord  our  God 
commanded  us;  and  we  came 
to  Ka'desh-baVne-a. 

20  And  I  said  unto  you,  Ye  are 
come  unto  the  mountain  of  the 
Am'or-ites,  which  .the  Lord  our 
God  doth  .give  unto  us, 

21  Behold,  the  Lord  thy  God 
hath  set  the  land  before  thee : 
go  up  and  possess  it,  as  the 
Lord  God  of  thy  fathers  hath 
said  unto  thee;  fear  not,  nei- 
ther be  discouraged. 

22  IT  And  ye  came  near  unto 
me  every  one  of  you,  and  said, 
We  will  send  men  before  us, 
and  they  shall  search  us  out  the 
land,  and  bring  us  word  again 
by  what  way  we  must  go  up, 
and  into  what  cities  we  shall 
come. 

23  And  the  saving  pleased  me 
well :  and  I  took  twelve  men  of 
you,  one  of  a  tribe: 

24  And  they  turned  and  went 
up  into  the  mountain,  and  came 
unto  the  valley  of  fish'cdl,  and 
searched  it  out 

25  And  they  took  of  the  fruit 
of  the  land  in  their  hands,  and 
brought  it  down  unto  us,  and 
brought  us  word  again,  and  said, 
R  is  a  good  land  which  the 
Lord  our  God  doth  give  us. 

26  Notwithstanding  ye  would 
not  go  up,  but  rebelled  against 
the  commandment  of  the  Lord 
your  God : 

27  And  ye  murmured  in  your 
tents,  and  said,  Because  the 
Lord  hated  us,  he  hath  brought 
us  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  to  deliver  us  into  the 
hand  of  the  Am'dr-ites,  to  des- 
troy us. 

28  Whither  shall  we  go  up? 
our  brethren  have  discouraged 
our  heart  saying,  The  people 
is  greater  and  taller  than  we; 
the  cities  are  great  and  walled 
up  to  heaven;  and  moreover 
we  have  seen  the  sons  of  the 
An'a-kimg  there. 


29  Then  I  said  unto  you,  Dread 
not  neither  be  afraid  of  them. 

50  The  Lord  your  God  which 
goeth  before  you,  he  shall  fight 
for  you,  according  to  all  that  he 
did  for  you  in  lS'gfpt  before  your 
eyes; 

31  And  in  the  wilderness, 
where  thou  hast  seen  how  that 
the  Lord  thy  God  bare  thee,  as 
a  man  doth  bear  his  son,  in  all 
the  way  that  ye  went  until  ye 
came  into  this  place. 

32  Yet  in  this  thing  ye  did  not 
believe  the  Lord  your  God, 

33  Who  went  in  the  way  be- 
fore you,  to  search  you  out  a 
place  to  pitch  your  tents  in,  in 
fire  by  night  to  shew  you  by 
what  way  ye  should  go,  and  in 
a  cloud  by  day. 

34  And  the  Lord  heard  the 
voice  of  your  words,  and  was 
wroth,  and  sware,  saying, 

35  Surely  there  shall  not  one 
of  these  men  of  this  evil  gen- 
eration see  that  good  land; 
which  I  sware  to  give  unto 
your  fathers, 

36  Save  Caleb  the  son  of  J€- 
phun'neh ;  he  shall  see  it  and 
to  him  will  I  give  the  land  that 
he  hath  trodden  upon,  and  to 
his  children,  because  he  hath 
wholly  followed  the  Lord. 

37  Also  the  Lord  was  angry 
with  me  for  your  sakes,  saying, 
Thou  also  shalt  not  go  in 
thither. 

38  But  J5sh'u-a  the  son  of 
Nun,  which  *  standeth  before 
thee,  he  shall  go  in  thither: 
encourage  him:  for  he  shall 
cause  Is/ra-el  to  inherit  it 

39  Moreover  your  little  ones, 
which  ye  said  should  be  a  prey, 
and  your  children,  which  in 
that  day  had  no  knowledge  be- 
tween good  and  evil,  they  shall 
go  in  thither,  and  unto  them 
will  I  jjive  it  and  they  shall 
possess  it 

40  But  as  for  yon,  turn  you, 
and  take  your  journey  into  the 
wilderness  by  the  way  of  the 
Red  sea. 

41  Then  ye  answered  and  said 
unto  me,  We  have  sinned  against 
the  Lord,  we  will  go  up  and 
fight  according  to  all  that  the 
Lord  our  God  commanded  us. 
And  when  ye  had  girded  on 
every  man  his  weapons  of  war, 
ye  were  ready  to  go  up  into  the 

42  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
Say  unto  them,  Go  not  up,  nei- 
ther fight ;  for  I  am  not  among 
you ;  lest  ye  be  smitten  before 
your  enemies. 

43  So  I  spake  unto  you;  antf

ye  would  not  hear,  but  rebelled 
against  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord,  and  went  presump- 
tuously up  into  the  hill. 

44  And  the  Am'dr-itea,  which 
dwelt  in  that  mountain,  came 
out  against  you,  and  chased 
you,  as  bees  do,  and  destroyed 
you  in  Seir,  even  unto  Hdr/1- 
mah. 

45  And  ye  returned  and  wept 
before  the  Lord  ;  but  the  Lord 
would  not  hearken  to  your  voice, 
nor  give  ear  unto  you. 

46  So  ye  abode  in  Ki'desh 
many  days,  according  unto  the 
days  that  ye  abode  there. 

.  CHAPTER  2 

The  story  i*  continued:  5  they  were 
not  to  meddle  with  the  Edomites, 
9  nor  the  MoaJbites.  19  nor  the  Am- 
monite*.   24  Sihon  the  Amorite  to 
be  subdued. 
rjTHEN  we  turned,  and  took  our 
X  journey  into  the  wilderness 
by  the  way  of  the  Red  sea,  as 
the  Lord  spake  unto  me:  and 
we  compassed  mount  Selr  many 
days. 

2  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
me,  saying, 

3  Ye  have  compassed  this 
mountain  long  enough:  turn 
you  northward; 

4  And  command  thou  the  peo- 
ple, saying,  Ye  are  to  pass 
through  the  coast  of  your 
brethren  the  children  of  £  sau, 
which  dwell  in  Seir;  and  they 
shall  be  afraid  of  you:  take  ye 
good  heed  unto  yourselves 
therefore: 

5  Meddle  not  with  them ;  for 
I  will  not  give  you  of  their 
land,  no,  not  so  much  as  a  foot 
breadth;  because  I  have  given 
mount  Selr  unto  E'sau/or  a  pos- 
session. 

6  Ye  shall  buy  meat  of  them 
for  money,  that  ye  may  eat;  and 
ye  shall  also  buy  water  of  them 
for  money,  that  ye  may  drink 

7  For  the  Lord  thv  God  hath 
blessed  thee  in  all  the  works  of 
thy  hand :  hekndweth  thy  walk 
ing  through  this  great  wilder 
ness:  these  forty  years  the  Lord 
thy  God  hath  oeen  with  thee ; 
thou  hast  lacked  nothing. 

8  And  when  we  passed  by  from 
our  brethren  the  children  of 
nVsau,  which  dwelt  in  Sfe'ir, 
through  the  way  of  the  plain 
from  Elnth,  and  from  ETzS-on- 
ga'ber,  we  turned  and  passed  by 
the  way  of  the  wilderness  of 
Mo'ab. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
Distress  not  the  MS'ab-ites,  nei- 
ther contend  with  them  in  bat- 
tle: for  I  will  not  give  thee 


of  their  land  for  a  possession ; 
because  I  have  given  Ar  unto 
the  children  of  Lot  for  a  posses- 
sion. 

10  The  rTmimfi  dwelt  therein 
in  times  past,  a  people  great,  and 
many,  and  tall,  as  the  An'a- 
kimg; 

11  Which  also  were  accounted 
giants,  as  the  An'a-Wms ;  but  the 
MS'ab-ites  call  them  E'mimg. 

12  The  HS'rims.  also  dwelt  in 
Se'ir  beforetime;  but  the  chil- 
dren of  fi'sau  succeeded  them, 
when  they  had  destroyed  them 
from  before  them,  and  dwelt  in 
their  stead;  as  Is'ra-el  did  unto 
the  land  of  his  possession,  which 
the  Lord  gave  unto  them. 

13  Now  rise  up,  said  I,  and 
get  you  over  the  brook  ZS'red. 
And  we  went  over  the  brook  ZS'- 
red. 

14  And  the  space  in  which  we 
came  from  Ka 'deah-biir'ne-a,  un- 
til we  were  come  over  the  brook 
Ze'red,  was  thirty  and  eight 
years;  until  all  the  generation  of 
the  men  of  war  were  wasted  out 
from  among  the  host,  as  the 
Lord  sware  unto.  them. 

15  For  indeed*  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  was  against  them,  to  des- 
troy them  from  among  the  host, 
until  the v  were  consumed. 

16  ITSottcameto  pass,  when  all 
the  men  of  war  were  consumed 
and  dead  from  among  the  peo- 
ple, 

17  That  the  Lord  spake  unto 
me,  saying, 

18  Thou  art  to  pass  over 
through  Ar,  the  coast  of  Md'ab, 
this  day: 

19  And  when  thou  contest  nigh 
over  against  the  children  of 
Am'mdn,  distress  them  not,  nor 
meddle  with  them:  for  I  will 
not  give  thee  of  the  land  of  the 
children  of  Am'mdn  any  pos- 
session; because  I  have  given 
it  unto  the  children  of  Lot  for 
a  possession. 

20  (That  also  was  accounted 
a  land  of  giants:  giants  dwelt 
therein  in  old  time;  and  the 
Am'mon-ites  call  them  Zim- 
zum'mims. ; 

21  A  people  great,  and  many, 
and  tall,  as  the  An'a-klms;  but 
the  Lord  destroyed  them  be- 
fore them;  and  they  succeeded 
them,  and  dwelt  in  their  stead : 

22  As  he  did  to  the  children 
of  ffsau,  which  dwelt  in  Selr, 
when  he  destroyed  the  HO'- 
rims  from  before  them;  and 
they  succeeded  them,  and  dwelt 
in  their  stead  even  unto  this 
day:

in  Ha-zS'rim,  even  unto  Az'zah, 
the  Caph't5-rim&  which  came 
forth  out  of  C&ph'tdr,  destroyed 
them,  and  dwelt  in  their  stead.) 

24  KRise  ye  up,  take  your  jour- 
ney, and  pass  over  the  river 
Ar'n6n:  behold,  I  have  given 
into  thine  hand  Silidn  the,Am'- 
or-rite,  king  of  Heah'bdn,  and  his 
land:  begin  to  possess  it,  and 
contend  with  him  in  battle. 

25  This  day  will  I  begin  to  put 
the  dread  of  thee  and  the  fear 
of  thee  upon  the  nations  that 
are  under  the  whole  heaven, 
who  shall  hear  report  of  thee, 
and  shall  tremble,  and  be  in 

Tiish  because  of  thee. 
HAnd  I  sent  messengers 
out  of  the  wilderness  of  Kea"e- 
mftth  unto  Silidn  king  of  Hesh'- 
bdn  with  words  of  peace,  say- 
ing, 

27  Let  me  pass  through  thy 
land:  I  will  go  along  by  the 
high  way,  I  will  neither  turn 
unto  the  right  hand  nor  to  the 
left 

28  Thou  shalt  sell  me  meat 
for  money,  that  I  may  eat ;  and 

f've  me  water  for  money,  that 
may  drink:  only  I  will  pass 
through  on  my  feet ; 

29  (As  the  children  of  E'sau 
which  dwell  in  Selr,  and  the 
Md'ab-ites  which  dwell  in  Ar, 
did  unto  me ;)  until  I  shall  pass 
over  J6Vdan  into  the  land  which 
the  Lord  our  God  giveth  us. 

30  ButSllionkingofHesh'bdn 
would  not  let  us  pass  by  him : 
for  the  Lord  thy  God  hardened 
his  spirit,  and  made  his  heart 
obstinate,  that  he  might  deliver 
him  into  thy  hand,  as  appear- 
eth  this  day. 

31  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
Behold,, I  have  begun  to  give 
Sfhon  and  his  land  before  thee : 
begin  to  possess,  that  thou  may- 
est  inherit  his  land. 

32  Then    Si'hSn    came    out 

r'nst  us,  he  and  all  his  peo- 
to  fight  at  Ja'hSz. 

33  And  the  Lord  our  God  de- 
livered him  before  us ;  and  we 
smote  him,  and  his  sons,  and  all 
his  people. 

34  And  we  took  all  his  cities 
at  that  time,  and  utterly  des- 
troyed the  men,  and  the  women, 
and  the  little  ones,  of  every 
city,  we  left  none  to  remain: 

35  Only  the  cattle  we  took  for 
a  prey  unto  ourselves,  and  the 
spoil  of  the  cities  which  we 
took. 

36  From  Ar'o-er,  which  is  by 
the  brink  of  the  river  of  Ar'nOn, 
And  from  the  city  that  is  by 
the  river;  even  unto  GlTe-fid, 


there  was  not  one  city  too 
strong  for  us:  the  Lord  our 
God  delivered  all  unto  us: 
37  Only  unto  the  land  of  the 
children  of  Am'mdn  thou  cam 
est  not,  nor  unto  any  place  of 
the  river  Jftb'bfik,  nor  unto  the 
cities  in  the  mountains,  nor  un- 
to whatsoever  the  Lord  our 
God  forbad  us.

Mooes*  exhortation  to  Joshua,  23 
Moses*  prayer  to  enter  into  the  land. 
27  He  is  permitted  to  see  it, 

THEN  we  turned,  and  went  up 
the  way  to  Bfi'sh&n :  and  Og 
the  king  of  Ba'shfin  came  out 
against  us,  he  and  all  his  peo- 
ple, to  battle  at  £d're-i. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
Fear  him  not:  for  I  will  deliver 
him,  and  all  his  people,  and  his 
land,  into  thy  hand;  and  thou 
shalt  do  unto  him  as  thou  didst 
unto  Silidn  king  of  the  Am'dr- 
ites,  which  dwelt  at  Heah'bdn. 

3  So  the  Lord  our  God  deliv- 
ered into  our  hands  Og  also,  the 
king  of  Bfi'shan,  and  all  his  peo- 
ple: and  we  smote  him  until 
none  was  left  to  him  remain- 
ing. 

4  And  we  took  all  his  cities  at 
that  time,  there  was  not  a  city 
which  we  took  not  from  them, 
threescore  cities,  all  the  region 
of  Ar'gSb,  the  kingdom  of  Og 
in  Ba'shan. 

5  All  these  cities  were  fenced 
with  high  walla,  gates,  and  bars ; 
beside  unwalled  towns  a  great 
many. 

6  And  we  utterly  destroyed 
them,  as  we  did  unto  Silidn 
king  of  HSsh'bdn,  utterly  des- 
troying the  men,'  women,  and 
children,  of  every  city. 

7  But  all  the  cattle,  and  the 
spoil  of  the  cities,  we  took  for  a 
prey  to  ourselves. 

8  And  we  took  at  that  time 
out  Of  the  hand  of  the  two  kings 
of  the  Am'dr-ltes  the  land  that 
woe  on  this  side  Jdrflan*  from 
the  river  of  Ar'non  unto  mount 
H&'mon ; 

9  (Which  Her'mon  the  Si- 
do'ni-ana  call  SIrl-5n ;  and  the 
Am'6r-ites  call  it  She'nir ;) 

10  All  the  cities  of  the  plain, 
and  all  Gll'e-fid,  and  all  Ba'sh&n, 
unto  SaTchah  and  Ed're-i,  cities 
of  the  kingdom  of  Og  in  Bfi'- 
shan. 

11  For  only  Og  king  of  Ba'- 
shfin remained  of  the  remnant 
of  giants ;  behold,  his  bedstead 
was  a  bedstead  of  iron;  is  it 
not  in  RaVbath  of  the  children 
of  Am'mdn  ?  nine,  cubits  was

the  length  thereof,  and  four 
cubits  the  breadth  of  it,  after 
the  cubit  of  a  man. 

12  And  this  land*  which  we 
possessed  at  that  time,  from 
Ar'o-er,  which  is  by  the  river 
Ar'non,  and  half  mount  Gil'e-ad, 
and  the  cities  thereof,  gave  I 
unto  the  Reut>en-itea  and  to  the 
Gadltes. 

13  And  the  rest  of  Gil'e-fid,  and 
all  Ba'sh&n,  being  the  kingdom 
of  Og,  gave  I  unto  the  half  tribe 
of  Ma-n&s'seh;  all  the  region 
of  Ar-g6b,  with  all  Ba'shan, 
which  was  called  the  land  of 
giants. 

14  Jfilr  the  son  of  Ma-nfis'seh 
took  all  the  country  of  Ar'gdb 
unto  the  coasts  of  Gesh'u-ri  and 
Ma-fich'a-thi ;  and  called  them 
after  his  own  name,  Ba'sh&n- 
ha'voth-jaTr,  unto  this  day. 

15  And  I  gave  GiTe-ftd  unto 
Ma'chir. 

16  And  unto. the  Rep/ben-!tes 
and  unto  the  GSdltes  I  gave 
from  Gfl'e-fid  even  unto  the 
river  Ar'ndn  half  the  valley, 
and  the  border  even  unto  the 
river  JaVbdk,  which  is  the  bor- 
der of  the  children  of  Am'mdn ; 

17  The  plain  also,  and  Jor- 
dan, and  the  coast  thereof,  from 
Chln'ne-rfith  even  unto  the  sea 
of  the  plain,  even  the  salt  sea, 
under  Ash'dtth-pjfa'gah  east- 
ward. 

18  ITAnd  I  commanded  you  at 
that  time,  saying,  The  Lord 
your  God  hath  given  you  this 
land  to  possess  it :  ye  shall  pass 
over  armed  before  your  breth- 
ren the  children  of  ls/ra-el,  all 
that  are  meet  for  the  war. 

19  But  your  wives,  and  your 
little  ones,  and  your  cattle,  (for 
I  know  that  ye  have  much  cat- 
tle,) shall  abide  in  your  cities 
which  I  have  given  you ; 

20  Until  the  Lord  have  given 
rest  unto  your  brethren,  as  well 
as  unto  you,  and  until  they  also 
possess  the  land  which  the  Lord 
your  God  hath  given  them  be- 
yond Jordan :  and  then  shall  ye 
return  every  man  unto  his  pos- 
session, which  I  have  given  you. 

21  ITAnd  I  commanded  Josh'- 
u-a  at  that  time,  saying,  Thine 
eyes  have  seen  all  that  the  Lord 
your  God  hath  done  unto  these 
two  kings:  so  shall  the  Lord 
do  unto  all  the  kingdoms  whith- 
er thou  passest 

22  Te  snail  not  fear  them :  for 
the  Lord  your  God  he  shall  fight 
for  you. 

23  If  And  I  besought  the  Lord 
at  that  time,  saying, 

24  0  Lord  God,  thou  hast  be- 


gun to  shew  thy  servant  thy 

Seatness,  and  thy  mighty 
nd:  for  what  God  is  there 
in  heaven  or  in  earth,  that  can 
do  according  to  thy  works,  and 
according  to  thy  might  ? 

25  I  pray  thee,  let  me  go  over, 
and  see  the  good  land  that  is 
beyond  Jordan,  that  goodly 
mountain,  and  L£b  a-non. 

26  But  the  Lord  was  wroth 
with  me  for  your  sake*,,  and 
would  not  hear  me:  and  the 
Lord  said  unto  me,  Let  it  suf- 
fice thee;  speak  no  more  unto 
me  of  this  matter. 

27  Get  thee  up  into  the  top  of 
Pig'gah,  and  lift  up  thine  eyes 
westward,  and  northward,  and 
southward,  and  eastward,  and 
behold  it  with  thine  eyes:  for 
thou  shalt  not  go  over  this  Jor'- 
dan. 

28  But  charge  Jdsh'u-a,  and 
encourage  him,  and  strengthen 
him :  for  he  shall  go  over  be- 
fore this  people,  and  he  shall 
cause  them  to  inherit  the  land

29  So  we  abode  in  the  valley 
over  against  BSth-pe'or. 

CHAPTER  4 

An  exhortation  to  obedience.  14  A 
particular  dissuasive  against  idol- 
atry. 41  Moses  appointeth  three 
cities  of  refuge  on  that  aide  Jordan, 

NOW  therefore  hearken,  0 
Ig'ra-el,  unto  the  statutes 
and  unto  the  judgments,  which 
I  teach  you,  for  to  do  them,  that 
ye  may  live,  and  $o  in  and  pos- 
sess the  land  which  the  Lord 
God  of  your  fathers  giveth  you. 

2  Ye  shall  not  add  unto  the 
word  which  I  command  you, 
neither  shall  ye  diminish  ought 
from  it,  that  ye  may  keep  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord 
your  God  which  I  command  you. 

3  Your  eyes  have  seen  what 
the  Lord  did  because  of  Bft'al- 
pe'or:  for  all  the  men  that  fol- 
lowed Ba'al-pe'or,  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath  destroyed  them  from 
among  you. 

4  But  ye  that  did  cleave  unto 
the  Lord  your  God  are  alive 
every  one  of  you  this  day. 

5  Behold,  I  have  taught  you 
statutes  and  judgments,  even 
as  the  Lord  my  God  command- 
ed me,  that  ye  should  do  so  in 
the  land  whither  ye  go  to  pos* 

ess  it 

6  Keep  therefore  and  do  6fom; 
for  this  is  your  wisdom  and  your 
understanding  in  the  sight  of 
the  nations,  which  shall  hear  all 
these  statutes,  and  say,  Surely 
this  great  nation  is  a  wise  and 
understanding  people.

7  For  what  nation  is  there  so 
great,  who  hath  God  a©  nigh 
unto  them,  as  the  Lord  our  God 
is  in  all  things  that  we  call  up- 
on him  for? 

8  And  what  nation  is  there  so 
great,  that  hath  statutes  and 
judgments  so  righteous  as  all 
this  law,  which  I  set  before  you 
this  day? 

9  Only  take  heed  to  thyself, 
and  keep  thy  soul  diligently,  lest 
thou  forget  the  things  which 
thine  eyes  have  seen,  and  lest 
they  depart  from  thy  heart  all 
the  days  of  thy  life:  but  teach 
them  thy  sons,  and  thy  sons' 
sons; 

10  Specially  the  day  that  thou 
stoodest  before  the  Lord  thy 
God  in  Hd'reb,  when  the  Lord 
said  unto  me,  Gather  me  the 
people  together,  and  I  will  make 
them  hear  my  words,  that  they 
may  learn  to  fear  me  all  the 
days  that  they  shall  live  upon 
the  earth,  and  that  they  may 
teach  their  children. 

11  And  ye  came  near  and  stood 
under  the  mountain;  and  the 
mountain  burned  with  fire  unto 
the  midst  of  heaven,  with  dark- 
ness, clouds,  and  thick  darkness. 

12  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
you  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire : 
ye  heard  the  voice  of  the  words, 
but  saw  no  similitude ;  only  ye 
heard  a  voice. 

13  And  he  declared  unto  you 
his  covenant,  which  he  com- 
manded you  to  perform,  even 
ten  commandments;  and  he 
wrote  them  upon  two  tables  of 
stone. 

14  If  And  the  Lord  commanded 
me  at  that  time  to  teach  you 
statutes  and  judgments,  that 
ye  might  do  them  in  the  land 
whither  ye  go  over  to  possess  it 

15  Take  ye  therefore  good 
heed  unto  yourselves;  for  ye 
saw  no  manner  of  similitude  on 
the  day  that  the  Lord  spake 
unto  you  in  Hd'reb  out  of  the 
midst  of  the  fire : 

16  Lest  ye  corrupt  yourselves, 
and  make  you  a  graven  image, 
the  similitude  of  any  figure, 
the  likeness  of  male  or  female, 

17  The  likeness  of  any  beast 
that  is  on  the  earth,  the  like- 
ness of  any  winged  fowl  that 
flieth  in  the  air, 

18  The  likeness  of  any  thing 
that  creepeth  on  the  ground, 
the  likeness  of  any  fish  that 
is  in  the  waters  beneath  the 
earth: 

19  And  lest  thou  lift  up  thine 
eyes  unto  heaven,  and  when 
thou  seest  the   sun,  and  the 


moon,  and  the  stars,  even  all 
the  host  of  heaven,  shouldest 
be  driven  to  worship  them,  and 
serve  them,  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  hath  divided  unto  all 
nations  under  the  whole  heaven. 

20  But  the  Lord  hath  taken 
you,  and  brought  you  forth  out 
of  the  iron  furnace,  even  out  of 
ffgypt,  to  be  unto  him  a  people 
of  inheritance,  as  ye  are  this 
day. 

21  Furthermore  the  Lord  was 
angry  with  me  for  your  sakes, 
and  sware  that  I  should  not  go 
over  JOr'dan,  and  that  I  should 
not  go  in  unto  that  good  land, 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee  for  an  inheritance: 

22  But  I  must  die  in  this  land, 
I  must  not  go  over  JOr'dan: 
but  ye  shall  go  over,  and  pos- 
sess that  good  land. 

23  Take  heed  unto  yourselves, 
lest  ye  forget  the  covenant  of 
the  Lord  your  God,  which  he 
made  with  you,  and  make  you 
a  graven  image,  or  the  likeness 
of  any  thing,  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  hath  forbidden  thee. 

24  For  the  Lord  thy  God  is  a 
consuming  fire,  evens  jealous 
God. 

25  tWhen  thou  shalt  beget 
children,  and  children's  chil- 
dren, and  ye  shall  have  re- 
mained long  in  the  land,  and 
shall  corrupt  yourselves,  and 
make  a  graven  image,  or  the 
likeness  of  any  thing,  and  shall 
do  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord 
thy  God,  to  provoke  him  to 
anger: 

26  I  call  heaven  and  earth  to 
witness  against  you  this  day, 
that  ye  shall  soon  utterly  perish 
from  off  the  land  whereunto  ye 
go  over  JOr'dan  to  possess  it; 
ye  shall  not  prolong  your  days 
upon  it,  but  snail  utterly  be  des- 
troyed. 

27  And  the  Lord  shall  -scatter 
you  among  the  nations,  and  ye 
shall  be  left  few  in  number 
among  the  heathen,  whither 
the  Lord  shall  lead  you. 

28  And  there  ye  shall  serve 
gods,  the  work  of  men's  hands, 
wood  and  stone,  which  neither 
see,  nor  hear,  nor  eat,  nor  smell. 

29  But  if  from  thence  thou 
shalt  seek  the  Lord  thy  God, 
thou  shalt  find  him,  if  thou 
seek  him  with  all  thy  heart  and 
with  all  thy  souL 

30  When  thou  art  in  tribula- 
tion, and  all  these  things  are 
come  upon  thee,  even  in  the 
latter  days,  if  thou  turn  to  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  shalt  be 
obedient  unto  his  voice;

31  (For  the  Lord  thy  God  is 
a  merciful  God;)  he  wilt  not 
forsake  thee,  neither  destroy 
thee,  nor  forget  the  covenant 
of  thy  fathers  which  he  sware 
onto  them* 

32  For  ask  now  of  the  days 
that  are  past,  which  were  be- 
fore thee,  since  the  day  that 
God  created  man  upon  the 
earth,  and  ask  from  the  one 
side  of  heaven  unto  the  other, 
whether  there  hath  been  any 
such  thing  as  this  great  thing 
ig,  or  hath  been  heard  like  it? 

33  Did  ever  people  hear  the 
voice  of  God  speaking  oat  of 
the  midst  of  the  fire,  as  thou 
hast  heard,  and  live  ? 

34  Or  hath  God  assayed  to  go 
and  take  him  a  nation  from 
the  midst  of  another  nation, 
by  temptations,  by  signs,  and 
by  wonders,  and  by  war,  and 
by  a  mighty  handy  and  by  a 
stretched  out  arm,  and  by  great 
terrors,  according  to  all  that 
the  Lord  your  God  did  for  you 
in  E'jHfpt  before  your  eyes  ? 

35  Unto  thee  it  was  shewed, 
that  thou  mightest  know  that 
the  Lord  he  is  God;  there  is 
none  else  beside  him. 

36  Out  of  heaven  he  made  thee 
to  hear  his  voice,  that  he  might 
instruct  thee:  and  upon  earth 
he  shewed  thee  his  treat  fire; 
and  thou  heardest  his  words 
out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire 

37  And  because  he  loved  thy 
fathers,  therefore  he  chose  then 
seed  after  them,  and  brought 
thee  out  in  his  sight  with  his 
mighty  power  out  of  Elftjfpt; 

38  To  drive  out  nations  from 
before  thee  greater  and  mightier 
than  thou  art,  to  bring  thee  in, 
to  give  thee  their  land  Jbr  an 
inheritance,  as  it  is  this  day. 

39  Know  therefore  this  day, 
and  consider  it  in  thine  heart, 
that  the  Lord  he  is  God  in 
heaven  above,  and  upon  the 
earth  beneath:  there  is  none 
else. 

40  Thou  shalt  keep  therefore 
his  statutes,  and  his  command* 
ments,  which  I  command  thee 
this  day,  that  it  may  go  well 
with,  thee,  and  with  thy  chil- 
dren after  thee,  and  that  thou 
mayest  prolong  thy  days  upon 
the  earth,  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  giveth  thee,  for  ever. 

41  HThen  MS'ses  severed  three 
cities  on  this  side  J6Vdan  to- 
ward the  sun  rising; 

42  That  the  slayer  might  fLee 
thither,  which  should  kill  his 
neighbour  unawares,  and  hated 
him  not  in  times  past ;  and  that 


fleeing  unto  one  of  these  cities 
he  might  live: 

43  Namely,  Be'zer  in  the  wil-

the  Reu/ben-ftes;  and  Ra'moth 
in  GIl'£ftd,  of  the  Gadltes;  and

any  graven  image,  or  any  like- 
ness of  any  thing  that  is  in 
heaven  above,  or  that  is  in  the 
earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in  the 
waters  beneath  the  earth : 

9  Thou  shalt  not  bow  down 
thyself  unto  them,  nor  serve 
them:  for  I  the  Lord  thy  God 
am  a  jealous  God,  visiting  the 
iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon 
the  children  unto  the  third  and 
fourth  generation  of  them  that 
hate  me, 

10  And  shewing  mercy  unto 
thousands  of  them  that  love  me 
and  keep  my  commandments. 

11  Thou  shalt  not  take  the 
name  of  the  Lord  thy  God  in 
vain:  for  the  Lord  will  not 
hold  him  guiltless  that  taketh 
his  name  in  vain. 

12  Keep  the  sabbath  day  to 
sanctify  it,  as  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath  commanded  thee. 

13  Six  days  thou  shalt  labour, 
and  do  all  thy  work : 

14  But  the  seventh  day  is  the 
sabbath  of  the  Lord  thy  God: 
in  it  thou  shalt  not  do  any 
work,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor 
thy  daughter,  nor  thy  man- 
servant, nor  thy  maidservant, 
nor  thine  ox,  nor  thine  ass,  nor 
any  of  thy  cattle,  nor  thy  stran- 
ger that  ie  within  thy  gates; 
that  thy  manservant  and  thy 
maidservant  may  rest  as  well 
as  thou. 

15  And  remember  that  thou 
wast  a  servant  in  the  land  of 
&&f&*  ^d  that  **«  LoR»  thy 
God  brought  thee  out  thence 
through  a  mighty  hand  and  by 
a  stretched  out  arm :  therefore 
the  Lord  thy  God  commanded 
thee  to  keep  the  sabbath  day. 

16  If  Honour  thy  father  and 
thy  mother,  as  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath  commanded  thee; 
that  thy  days  may  be  pro- 
longed, and  that  it  may  go  well 
with  thee,  in  the  land  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee. 

17  Thou  shalt  not  kill. 

18  Neither  shalt  thou  commit 
adultery. 

19  Neither  shalt  thou  steal. 

20  Neither  shalt  thou  bear 
false  witness  against  thy  neigh 
hour. 

21  Neither  shalt  thou  desire 
thy  neighbour's  wife,  neither 
shalt  thou  covet  thy  neigh- 
bour's house,  his  field,  or  his 
manservant,  or  his  maidserv- 
ant, his  ox,  or  his  ass,  or  any 
thing  that  is  thy  neighbour's. 

22  1T  These  words  the  Lord 
spake  unto  all  your  assembly  in 
the  mount  out  of  the  midst  of 
the  fire,  of  the  cloud,  and  of 


the  thick  darkness,  with  a  great 
voice:  and  he  added  no  more. 
And  he  wrote  them  in  two  ta- 
bles of  stone,  and  delivered 
them  unto  me. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
ye  heard  the  voice  out  of  the 
midst  of  the  darkness,  (for  the 
mountain  did  burn  with  fire,) 
that  ye  came  near  unto  me, 
even  all  the  heads  of  your 
tribes,  and  your  elders; 

24  And  ye  said,  Behold,  the 
Lord  our  God  hath  shewed  us 
his  glory  and  his  greatness,  and 
we  have  heard  his  voice  out  of 
the  midst  of  the  fire :  we  have 
seen  this  day  that  God  doth 
talk  with  man,  and  he  liveth, 

25  Now  therefore  why  should 
we  die?  for  this  great  fire  will 
consume  us:  if  we  hear  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  our  God  any 
more,  then  we  shall  die. 

26  For  who  is  there  of  all 
flesh,  that  hath  heard  the  voice 
of  the  living  God  speaking  out 
of  the  midst  of  the  fire,  as  we 
have,  and  lived  ? 

27  Go  thou  near,  and  hear  all 
that  the  Lord  our  God  shall 
say :  and  speak  thou  unto  us 
all  that  the  Lord  our  God  shall 
speak  unto  thee;  and  we  will 
hear  it,  and  do  it 

28  And  the  Lord  heard  the 
voice  of  your  words,  when  ye 
spake  unto  me ;  and  the  Lord 
said  unto  me,  I  have  heard  the 
voice  of  the  words  of  this  peo- 
ple, which  they  have  spoken 
unto  thee :  they  have  well  said 
all  that  they  have  spoken. 

29  0  that  there  were  such  an 
heart  in  them,  that  they  would 
fear  me,  and  keep  all  my  com- 
mandments always,  that  it 
might  be  well  with  them,  and 
with  their  children  for  ever! 

30  Go  say  to  them,  Get  you 
into  your  tents  again. 

31  But  as  for  thee,  stand  thou 
here  by  me,  and  I  will  speak 
unto  thee  all  the  command 
ments,  and  the  statutes,  and 
the  judgments,  which  thou 
shalt  teach  them,  that  they  may 
do  them  in  the  land  which 
give  them  to  possess  it 

32  Ye  shall  observe  to  do 
therefore  as  the  Lord  your 
God  hath  commanded  you:  ye 
shall  not  turn  aside  to  the  right 
hand  or  to  the  left 

33  Ye  shall  walk  in  all  the 
ways  which  the  Lord  your  God 
hath  commanded  you,  that  ye 
may  live,  and  that  it  may  be 
well  with  you,  and  that  ye 
may  prolong  your  days  in  the 
land  which  ye  shall  possess.

CHAPTER  6 
Mooes  exhorUth  Israel  to  hear  God. 
and  to  keep  his  commandments, 
which  consists  in  loving  him  with 
all  the  heart:  16  they  must  not 
tempt  the  Lard:  20  they  are  com- 
manded to  instruct  their  children. 


NOW  these  are  the 
mandments,  the  statutes, 
and  the  judgments,  which  the 
Lord  your  God  commanded  to 
teach  you,  that  ye  might  do 
them  in  the  land  whither  ye 
go  to  possess  it: 

2  That  thou  mightest  fear 
the  Lord  thy  God.  to  keep  all 
his  statutes  and  his  command- 
ments, which  I  command  thee, 
thou,  and  thy  son,  and  thy  son's 
son,  all  the  days  of  thy  life; 
and  that  thy  days  may  be  pro- 
longed. 

3  ITHear,  therefore,  O  ls/ra-el, 
and  observe  to  do  it ;  that  it 
may  be  well  with  thee,  and  that 
ye  may  increase  mightily,  as  the 
Lord  God  of  thy  fathers  hath 
promised  thee,  in  the  land  that 
floweth  with  milk  and  honey. 

4  Hear,  0  lg'ra-el:  The  Lord 
our  God  is  one  Lord  : 

5  And  thou  shalt  love  the 
Lord  thy  God  with  all  thine 
heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul, 
and  with  all  thy  might 

6  And  these  words,  which  I 
command  thee  this  day,  shall  be 
in  thine  heart: 

7  And  thou  shalt  teach  them 
diligentlyunto  thy  children,  and 
shalt  talk  of  them  when  thou 
sittest  in  thine  house,  and  when 
thou  walkest  by  the  way,  and 
when  thou  liest  down,  ana  when 
thou  risest  up. 

8  And  thou  shalt  bind  them 
for  a  sign  upon  thine  hand,  and 
they  shall  be  as  frontlets  be- 
tween thine  eyes. 

9  And  thou  shalt  write  them 
upon  the  posts  of  thy  house, 
and  on  thy  gates. 

10  And  it  shall  be,  when 
the  Lord  thy  God  shall  have 
brought  thee  into  the  land 
which  he  sware  unto  thy  fa- 
thers, to  A'bra-ham,  to  Tsaac, 
and  to  Jfi'cob,  to  give  thee  great 
and  goodly  cities,  which  thou 
buildedst  not, 

11  And  houses  full  of  all  good 
things,  which  thou  filledst  not, 
and  wells  digged,  which  thou 
diggedst  not,  vineyards  and  ol- 
ive trees,  which  thou  plantedst 
not;  when  thou  shalt  have  eat- 
en and  be  full ; 

12  Then  beware  lest  thou  for- 
get the  Lord,  which  brought 
thee  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
B'gjfpt,  from  the  house  of  bond- 
age. . 


13  Thou  shalt  fear  the  Lord 
thy  God,  and  serve  him,  and 
shalt  swear  by  his  name. 

14  Ye  shall  not  go  after  other 
gods,  of  the  gods  of  the  people 
which  are  round  about  you; 

15  (For  the  Lord  thy  God  is  a 
jealous  God  among  you)  lest  the 
anger  of  the  Lord  thy  God  be 
kindled  against  thee,  and  des- 
troy, thee  from  off  the  face  of 
the  earth! 

16  HYe  shall  not  tempt  the 
Lord  your  God,  as  ye  tempted 
him  in  Mas'sah. 

17  Ye  shall  diligently  keep 
the  commandments  of  the  Lord 
your  God,  and  his  testimonies, 
and  his  statutes,  which  he  hath 
commanded  thee. 

18  And  thou  shalt  do  that 
which  is  right  and  good  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord  :  that  it  may 
be  well  with  thee,  and  that  thou 
mayest  go  in  and  possess  the 
good  land  which  the  Lord  sware 
unto  thy  fathers, 

19  To  cast  out  all  thine  ene- 
mies from  before  thee,  as  the 
Lord  hath  spoken. 

20  IT  And  when  thy  son  asketh 
thee  in  time  to  come,  saying, 
What  mean  the  testimonies; 
and  the  statutes,  and  the  judg- 
ments, which  the  Lord  our  God 
hath  commanded  you? 

21  Then  thou  shalt  say  unto 
thy  son,  We  were  PhaVradh's 
bondmen  in  £'&ypt;  and  the 
Lord  brought  us  out  of  E'gjrpt 
with  a  mighty  hand : 

22  And  the  Lord  shewed  signs 
and  wonders,  great  and  sore,  up- 
on E'gypt,  upon  Pha'ra5h,  and 
upon  all  his  household,  before 
our  eyes: 

23  And  he  brought  us  out  from 
thence,  that  he  might  bring  us 
in,  to  give  us  the  land  which  he 
sware  unto  our  fathers. 

24  And  the  Lord  commanded 
us  to  do  all  these  statutes,  to 
fear  the  Lord  our  God,  for  our 
good  always,  that  he  might  pre- 
serve us  alive,  as  itis  at  this  day. 

25  And  it  shall  be  our  right- 
eousness, if  we  observe  to  do  all 
these  commandments  before  the 
Lord  our  God,  as  he  hath  com- 
manded us.

en :  nations  greater  and  mightier 
than. thou;  - 

2  And  when  the  Lord  thy  God 
shall  deliver  them  before  thee ; 
thou  shalt  smite  them,  and  ut- 
terly destroy  them ;  thou  shalt 
make  no  covenant  with  them, 
nor  shew  mercy  unto  them : 

3  Neither  shalt  thou  make 
marriages'  with  them;'  thy 
daughter  thou  shalt  not  give 
unto  his  son,  nor  his  daughter 
shalt  thou  take  unto  thy  son. 

A  For  they  will  torn  away  thy 
son  from  following  me,  that 
they  may  serve  other  sods :  so 
will  the  anger  of  the  Lord  be 
kindled  against  you,  and  de- 
stroy thee  suddenly. 

5  But  thus  shall  ye  deal  with 
them ;  ye  shall  destroy  their  al- 
tars, and  break  down  their  im- 
ages, and  cut  down  their  groves, 
and  burn  their  graven  images 
with  fire. 

6  For  thou  art  an  holy  people 
unto  the  Lord  thy  God:  the 
Loab  thy  God  hath  chosen 
thee  to  be  a  special  people  un- 
to himself,  above  all  people 
that  are  upon  the  face  of  the 
earth. 

7  The  Lord  did  not  set  his 
love  upon  you,  nor  choose  you, 
because  ye  were  more  in  num- 
ber than  any  people;  for  ye 
were  the  fewest  of  all  people: 

8  But  because  the  Lord  loved 
you,  and  because  he  would  keep 
the  oath  which  he  had  sworn  nn- 
tonyour  fathers,  hath  the  Lord 
brought  you  out  with  a  mighty 
hand,  and  redeemed  you  out  of 
the-  house  of  bondmen,  from 
the  hand  of  PhaVraOh  king  of 
EWpt 

9  Know  therefore  that  the 
Lord  thy  God,  he  is  God,  the 
faithful  God,  which  keepeth 
covenant  and  mercy  with  them 
that  love  him  and  keep  his 
commandments  to  a  thousand 
generations; 

10  And  repayeth  them  that 
hate  him  to  their  face,  to  de- 
stroy them :  he  will  not  be  slack 
to  him  that  hateth  him,  he  will 
repay  him  to  his  face.. 

11  Thou  shalt  therefore  keep 
the  commandments,  and  the 
statutes, .  and  the  judgments, 
which  I  command  thee  this 
day;  to  do  them. 

12  Wherefore  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  if  ye  hearken  to  these 
judgments,  and  keep,  and  do 
them,  that  the  Lord  thy  God 
shall  keep  unto  thee  the  cove- 


nant and  the  mercy  which  he 
sware  unto  thy  fathers: 

13  And  he  will  love  thee,  and 
bless  thee,  and  multiply  thee 
he  will  also  bless  the  fruit  of 
thy  womb,  and  the  fruit  of  thy 
land,  thy  corn,  and  thy  wine, 
and  thine  oil,  the  increase  of 
thy  kine,  and  the  flocks  of  thy 
sheep,  in  the  land  which  he 
sware  unto  thy  fathers  to  give 
thee. 

14  Thou  shalt  be  blessed  above 
all  people:  there  shall  not  be 
male  or  female  barren  among 
you,,  or  among  your  cattle. 

15  And  the  Lord  will  take 
away  from  thee  all  sickness, 
and  will  put  none  of  the  evil 
diseases  of  E'gjrpt,  which  thou 
knowest,  upon  thee;  but  will 
lay  them  upon  all  them  that 
hate  thee. 

16  And  thou  shalt  consume  all 
the  people  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  shall  deliver  thee;  thine 
eye  shall  have  no  pity  upon 
them:  neither  shalt  thou  serve 
their  gods;  for  that  will  be  a 
snare  unto  thee. 

17  If  thou  shalt  say  in  thine 
heart,  These  nations  are  more 
than  I;  how  can  I  dispossess 
them? 

18  Thou  shalt  not  be  afraid  of 
them :  but  shalt  well  remember 
what  the  Lord  thy  God  did  unto 
Pht'rafih,  and  unto  all  Rgj^pt; 

19  The  great  temptations 
which  thine  eyes  saw,  and  the 
signs,  and  the  wonders,  and  the 
mighty  hand,  and  the  stretched 
out  arm,  whereby  the  Lord  thy 
God  brought  thee  out:  so  shall 
the  Lord  thy  God  do  unto  all 
the  people  of  whom  thou  art 
afraid. 

20  Moreover  the  Lord  thy  God 
will  send  the  hornet  among 
them,  until  they  that  are  left, 
and  hide  themselves  from  thee, 
be  destroyed. 

21  Thou  shalt  not  be  affright- 
ed at  them :  for  the  Lord  thy 
God  ia  among  you,  a  mighty 
God  and  terrible. 

22  And  the  Lord  thy  God  will 
put  out  those  nations  before 
thee  by  little  and  little:  thou 
mayest  not  consume  them  at 
once,  lest  the  beasts  of  the 
field  increase  upon  thee. 

23  But  theLoRD  thy  God  shall 
deliver  them  unto  thee,  and  shall 
destroy  them  with  a  mighty 
destruction,  until  they  be  de- 
stroyed. • 

24  And  he  shall  deliver  their 
kings  into  thine  hand,  and  thou 
shalt  destroy  their  name  from 
under  heaven:  there  shall  no

CHAPTER  8 

An  exhortation  to  obedience  in  re- 
gard qf  God's  mercy  and  goodness 
in  his  dealings  with  IsraeL  19  The 
evU  of  worshipping  other  god*. 

ALL  the  commandments 
which  I  command  thee 
this  day  shall  ye  observe  to  do, 
that  ye  may  live,  and  multiply, 
and  go  in  and  possess  the  land 
which  the  Lord  sware  unto  your 
fathers. 

2  And  thou  shalt  remember 
all  the  way  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  led  thee  these  forty  years 
in  the  wildemessy  to  humble 
thee,  and  to  prove  thee,  to 
know  what  was  in  thine  heart, 
whether  thou  wouldest  keep  his 
commandments,  or  no. 

3  And  he  humbled  thee,  and 
suffered  thee  to  hunger,  and  fed 
thee  with  manna,  which  thou 
knewest  not,  neither  did  thy  fa- 
thers know;  that  he  might 
make  thee  know  that  man  doth 
not  live  by  bread  only,  but  by 
every  word  that  proceedeth  out 
of  the  mouth  of  the  Lord  doth 
man  live. 

4  Thy  raiment  waxed  not  old 
upon  thee,  neither  did  thy  foot 
swell,  these  forty  years. 

5  Thou  shalt  also  consider  in 
thine  heart,  that,  as  a  man 
chasteneth  his  son,  so  the  Lord 
thy  God  chasteneth  thee. 

6  Therefore  thou  shalt  keep 
the  commandments  of  the  Lord 
thy  God,  to  walk  in  his  ways, 
and  to  fear  ham. 

7  For  the  Lord  thy  God 
bringeth  thee  into  a  good  land, 
a  land  of  brooks  of  water,  of 
fountains  and  depths  that  spring 
out  of  valleys  and  hills; 

8  Aland  of  wheat,  and  barley, 
and  vines,  and  fig  trees,  and 
pomegranates ;  a  land  of  oil 
olive;  and  honey ; 

9  A  land  wherein  thou  shalt 
eat  bread  without  scarceness, 
thou  shalt  not  lack  any  thing 
in  it;  a  land  whose  stones  are 


iron,  and  out  of  whose  hills  thou 
mayest  dig  brass. 

10  When  thou  hast  eaten  and 
art  full,  then  thou  shalt  bless 
the  Lord  thy  God  for  the  good 
land  which  he  hath  given  thee. 

11  Beware  that  thou  forget 
not  the  Lord  thy  God,  in  not 
keening  his  commandments, and 
his  judgments,  and  his  statutes, 
which  f  command  thee  this  day : 

12  Lest  when  thou  hast  eaten 
and  art  full,  and  hast  built 
goodly  houses,  and  dwelt  there- 

n; 

13  And  when  thy  herds  and 
thy  flocks  multiply;  and  thy 
silver  and  thy  gold  is  multiplied, 
and  all  that  thou  hast  is  multi- 
plied; 

14  Then  thine  heart  be  lifted 
up,  and  thou  forget  the  Lord 

y  God,  which  brought  thee 
forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
from  the  house  of  bondage; 

15  Who  led  thee  through  that 
great  and  terrible  wilderness, 
wherein  were  fiery  serpents, 
and  scorpions,  and  drought, 
where  there  was  no  water ;  who 
brought  thee  forth  water  out 
of  the  rock  of  flint ; 

16  Who  fed  thee  in  the  wilder- 
ness  with  manna,  which  thy 
fathers  knew  not,  that  he  might 
humble  thee,  and  that  he  might 
prove  thee,  to  do  thee  good  at 
thy  latter  end; 

17  And  thou  say  in  thine 
heart,  My  power  and  the  might 
of  mine  hand  hath  gotten  me 
this  wealth. 

18  But  thou  shalt  remember 
the  Lord  thy  God:  for  it  is  he 
that  ffiveth  thee  power  to  get 
wealth,  that  he  may  establish 
his  covenant  which  he  sware 
unto  thy  fathers,  as  it  is  this 
day. 

19  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou  do 
at  all  forget  the  Lord  thy  God, 
and  walk  after  other  gods,  and 
serve  them,,  and  worship  them, 
I  testify  against  you  this  day 
that  ye  shall  surely  perish. 

20  As  the  nations  which  the 
Lord  destroyeth  before  your 
face,  so  shall  ye  perish ;  because 
ye  would  not  be  obedient  unto 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  your 
God.

2  A  people  great  and  tall, 
the  children  of  the  An'a-kung, 
whom  thou  knowest,  and  of 
whom  thou  hast  heard  8C 
Who  can  stand  before  the  chil- 
dren of  A'nfik! 

3  Understand  therefore  this 
day,  that  the  Lord  thy  God  is 
he  which  goeth  over  before 
thee;  as  a  consuming  fire  he 
shall  destroy  them,  and  he  shall 
bring  them  down  before  thy 
face:  so  shalt  thou  drive  them 
out,  and  destroy  them  quickly, 
as  the  Lord  hath  said  unto  thee. 

4  Speak  not  thou  in  thine 
heart,  after  that  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath  cast  them  out  from 
before  thee,  saying,  For  my 
righteousness  the  Lord  hath 
brought  me  in  to  possess  this 
land:  but  for  the  wickedness 
of  these  nations  the  Lord  doth 
drive  them  out  from  before 
thee. 

5  Not  for  thy  righteousness, 
or  for  the  uprightness  of  thine 
heart,  dost  thou  go  to  possess 
their  land :  but  for  the  wicked- 
ness of  these  nations  the  Lord 
thy  God  doth  drive  them  out 
from  before  thee,  and  that  he 
may  perform  the  word  which 
the  Lord  sware  unto  thy  fa- 
thers, Alwra-ham,  I'saac,  and 
Ja'cob. 

6  Understand  therefore,  that 
the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee 
not  this  good  land  to  possess  it 
for  thy  righteousness ;  for  thou 
art  a  sthfnecked  people. 

7  ITRemember,  and  forget  not, 
how  thou  provokedst  the  Lord 
thy  God  to  wrath  in  the  wilder- 
ness: from  the  day  that  thou 
didst  depart  out  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  until  ye  came  unto  this 
place,  ye  have  been  rebellious 
against  the  Lord. 

8  Also  in  Hd'reb  ye  provoked 
the  Lord  to  wrath,  so  that  the 
Lord  was  angry  with  you  to 
have  destroyed  you. 

9  When  I  was  gone  up  into  the 
mount  to  receive  the  tables  of 
stone,  even  the  tables  of  the 
covenant  which  the  Lord  made 
with  you,  then  I  abode  in  the 
mount  forty  days  and  forty 
nights,  I  neither  did  eat  bread 
nor  drink  water: 

10  And  the  Lord  delivered  un- 
to me  two  tables  of  stone  writ- 
ten with  the  finger  of  God ;  and 
on  them  was  written  according 
to  all  the  words,  which  the  Lord 
spake  with  you  in  the  mount 
out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire  in 
the  day  of  the  assembly. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  forty  days  and   forty 


nights,  that  the  Lord  gave  me 
the  two  tables  of  stone,  even 
the  tables  of  the  covenant 

12  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
me,  Arise,  get  thee  down  quick- 
ly from  hence;  for  thy  people 
which  thou  hast  brought  forth 
out  of  E'gfpt  have  corrupted 
themselves;  they  are  quickly 
turned  aside  out  of  the  way 
which  I  commanded  them ;  they 
have  made  them  a  molten  image. 

13  Furthermore  the  Lord 
spake  unto  me,  saying,  I  have 
seen  this  people,  and,  behold,  it 
is  a  stiff  necked  people: 

14  Let  me  alone,  that  I  may 
destroy  them,  and  blot  out  their 
name  from  under  heaven :  and 
I  will  make  of  thee  a  nation 
mightier  and  greater  than  they. 

15  So  I  turned  and  came  down 
from  the  mount,  and  the  mount 
burned  with  fire :  and  the  two 
tables  of  the  covenant  were  in 
my  two  hands. 

16  And  I  looked,  and,  behold, 
ye  had  sinned  against  the  Lord 
your  God,  and  had  made  you  a 
molten  calf:  ye  had  turned  aside 
quickly  out  of  the  way  which 
the  Lord  had  commanded  you. 

17  And  I  took  the  two  tables, 
and  cast  them  out  of  my  two 
hands,  and  brake  them  before 
your  eyes. 

18  And  I  fell  down  before  the 
Lord,  as  at  the  first,  forty  days 
and  forty  nights:  I  did  neither 
eat  bread,  nor  drink  water,  be- 
cause of  all  your  sins  which  ye 
sinned,  in  doing  wickedly  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  to  provoke 
him  to  anger. 

19  For  I  was  afraid  of  the  an- 
ger and  hot  displeasure,  where- 
with the  Lord  was  wroth 
against  you  to  destroy  you.  But 
the  Lord  hearkened  unto  me  at 
that  time  also. 

20  And  the  Lord  was  very  an- 
gry with  Aar'on  to  have  de- 
stroyed him:  and  I  prayed  for 
Aar'on  also  the  same  time. 

21  And  I  took  your  sin,  the 
calf  which  ye  had  made,  and 
burnt  it  with  fire,  and  stamped 
it,  and  ground  it  very  small, 
even  until  it  Was  as  small  as 
dust :  and  I  cast  the  dust  thereof 
into  the  brook  that  descended 
out  of  the  mount 

22  And  at  TaVe-rah,  and  at 
M&s'sah,  and  at  Klb'roth-hat- 
t&'a-vah,  ye  provoked  the  Lord 
to  wrath. 

23  Likewise  when  the  Lord 
sent  you  from  KS'desh-bar'ne-a, 
saying,  Go  up  and  possess  the 
land  which  I  have  given  you ; 
then  ye  rebelled  against  the!

commandment  of  the  Lord  your 
God,  and  ye  believed  him  not, 
nor  hearkened  to  his  voice. 

24  Ye  have  been  rebellious 
against  the  Lord  from  the  day 
that  I  knew  you. 

25  Thus  I  fell  down  before 
the  Lord  forty  days  and  forty 
nights,  as  I  fell  down  at  the 
first;  because  the  Lord  had 
said  he  would  destroy  you. 

26  I  prayed  therefore  unto  the 
Lord,  ana  said,  0  Lord  God,  de- 
stroy not  thy  people  and  thine 
inheritance,  which  thou  hast 
redeemed  through  thy  great- 
ness, which  thou  hast  brought 
forth  out  of  E'&ypt  with  a 
mighty  hand. 

27  Remember  thy  servants, 
Al>r&-ham,  I'saac,  and  Ja'cob ; 
look  not  unto  the  stubbornness 
of  this  people,  nor  to  their  wick- 
edness, nor  to  their  sin : 

28  Lest  the  land  whence  thou 
broughtest  us  out  say,  Because 
the  Lord  was  not  able  to  bring 
them  into  the  land  which  he 
promised  them,  and  because  he 
hated  them,  he  hath  brought 
them  out  to  slay  them  in  the 
wilderness. 

29  Yet  they  are  thy  people  and 
thine  inheritance,  which  thou 
broughtest  out  by  thy  mighty 
power  and  by  thy  stretched  out 
arm. 

CHAPTER  10 

God's  mercy  in  restoring  the  two  to- 
bies, 6  in  continuing  the  priest- 
hood, 8  in  separating  the  tirihe  of 
Levi,  10  and  hearkening  to  Motes' 
suit  for  the  people. 

AT  that  time  the  Lord  said 
unto  me,  Hew  thee  two  ta- 
bles of  stone  like  unto  the  first, 
and  come  up  unto  me  into  the 
mount,  and  make  thee  an  ark  of 
wood. 

2  And  I  will  write  on  the  ta- 
bles the  words  that  were  in  the 
first  tables  which  thou  brak- 
est,  and  thou  shalt  put  them  in 
the  ark. 

3  And  I  made  an  ark  of  shit- 
tim  wood,  and  hewed  two  tables 
of  stone  like  unto  the  first,  and 
went  up  into  the  mount,  having 
the  two  tables  in  mine  hand. 

4  And  he  wrote  on  the  tables, 
according  to  the  first  writing, 
the  ten  commandments,  which 
the  Lord  spake  unto  you  in  the 
mount  out  of  the  midst  of  the 
fire  in  the  day  of  the  assembly : 
and  the  Lord  gave  them  unto 
me. 

5  And  I  turned  myself  and 
came  down  from  the  mount, 
and  put  the  tables  in  the  ark 
which  I  had  made;  and  there 


they  be,  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded me. 

6  1fAnd  the  children  of  ls/ra-el 
took  their  journey  from  Be-e 
rdth  of  the  children  of  J&'a-kan 
to  Mo-se'ra :  there  Aar'on  died, 
and  there  he  was  buried;  and 
£-le-a'zar  his  son  ministered  in 
the  priest's  office  in  his  stead. 

7  From  thence  they  journey- 
ed unto  Gud'go-dah;  and  from 
Gud'go-dah  to  Jdfbath,  a  land 
of  rivers  of  waters. 

8  HAt  that  time  the  Lord  sep- 
arated the  tribe  of  Le'vi,  to  bear 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord,  to  stand  before  the  Lord 
to  minister  unto  him,  and  to 
bless  in  his  name,  unto  this  day. 

9  Wherefore  Le'vi  hath  no 
part  nor  inheritance  with  his 
brethren;  the  Lord  is  his  in 
heritance,  according  as  the 
Lord  thy  God  promised  him. 

10  IT  And  I  stayed  in  the  mount, 
according  to  the  first  time,  forty 
days  and  forty  nights ;  and  the 
Lord  hearkened  unto  me  at  that 
time  also,  and  the  Lord  would 
not  destroy  thee. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
Arise,  take  thy  journey  before 
the  people,  that  they  may  go  in 
and  possess  the  land,  which  I 
sware  unto  their  fathers  to  give 
unto  them. 

12  ITAnd  now,  ls/ra-el,  what 
doth  the  Lord  thy  God  require 
of  thee,  but  to  fear  the  Lord 
thy  God,  to  walk  in  all  his  ways, 
and  to  love  him,  and  to  serve 
the  Lord  thy  God  with  all  thy 
heart  and  with  all  thy  soul, 

13  To  keep  the  command- 
ments of  the  Lord,  and  his  stat- 
utes, which  I  command  thee 
this  day  for  thy  good  ? 

14  Behold,  the  heaven  and  the 
heaven  of  heavens  ie  the  Lord's 
thy  God,  the  earth  also,  with  all 
that  therein  is. 

15  Only  the  Lord  had  a  de- 
light in  thy  fathers  to  love 
them,  and  he  chose  their  seed 
after  them,  even  you  above  all 
people,  as  it  is  this  day. 

16  Circumcise  therefore  the 
foreskin  of  your  heart,  and  be 
no  more  stiffnecked, 

17  For  the  Lord  your  God  is 
God  of  gods,  and  Lord  of  lords, 
a  great  God,  a  mighty,  and  a 
terrible,  which  regaraeth  not 
persons,  nor  taketh  reward : 

18  He  doth  execute  the  judg- 
ment of  the  fatherless  and  wid- 
ow, and  loveth  the  stranger,  in 
giving  him  food  and  raiment 

19  Love  ye  therefore  the  stran- 

§er:  for  ye  were  strangers  in 
tie  land  of  £  gypt

CHAPTER  11 

An  exhortation  to  obedience.  18  A 
cartful  study  is  required  in  God's 
words.  26  A  blessing  and  a  curse 
is  set  before  them. 

THEREFORE  thou  shalt  love 
the  Lord  thy  God,  and  keep 
his  charge,  and  his  statutes, 
and  his  judgments,  and  his 
commandments,  alway. 

2  And  know  ye  this  day:  for 
/  speak  not  with  your  children 
which  have  not  known,  and 
which  have  not  seen  the  chas- 
tisement of  the  Lord  vour  God, 
his  greatness,  his  mighty  hand, 
and  his  stretched  out  arm, 

3  And  his  miracles,  and  his 
acts,  which  he  did  in  the  midst 
of  E'gypt  unto  Phfi'raSh  the 
king  of  ugypt,  and  unto  all  his 
land; 

4  And  what  he  did  unto  the 
army  of  E'gjfpt,  unto  their 
horses,  and  to  their  chariots; 
how  he  made  the  water  of  the 
Red  sea  to  overflow  them  as 
they  pursued  after  you,  and 
how  the  Lord  hath  destroyed 
them  unto  this  day ; 

5  And  what  he  did  unto  you  in 
the  wilderness,  until  ye  came 
into  this  place; 

6  And  what  he  did  unto  Da'- 
than  and  A-hi'ram,  the  sons  of 
£-li'ab,  the  son  of  ReuT>en :  how 
the  earth  opened  her  mouth,  and 
swallowed  them  up,  and  their 
households,  and  their  tents,  and 
all  the  substance  that  was  in 
their  possession,  in  the  midst 
of  all  Is'ra-el : 

7  But  your  eyes  have  seen  all 
the  great  acts  of  the  Lord 
which  he  did. 

8  Therefore  shall  ye  keep 
all  the  commandments  which  I 
command  you  this  day,  that  ye 
may  be  strong,  and  go  in  and 
possess  the  land,  whither  ye  go 
to  possess  it ; 

9  And  that  ye  may  prolong 
your  days  in  the  land,  which 
the  Lord  sware  unto  your  fa- 
thers to  give  unto  them  and  to 


10  ITFor  the  land,  whither  thou 
goest  in  to  possess  it,  is  not  as 
the  land  of  E'gypt,  from  whence 
ye  came  out,  where  thou  sowedst 
thy  seed,  and  wateredst  it  with 
thy  foot,  as  a  garden  of  herbs : 

11  But  the  land,  whither  ye  go 
to  possess  it,  is  a  land  of  hills 
and  valleys,  and  drinketh  wa- 
ter of  the  rain  of  heaven : 

12  A  land  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  careth  for :  the  eyes  of  the 
Lord  thy  God  are  always  upon 
it,  from  the  beginning  of  the 
year  even  unto  the  end  of  the 
year. 

13  HAnd  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
if  ye  shall  hearken  diligently 
unto  my  commandments  which 
I  command  you  this  day,  to  love 
the  Lord  your  God,  and  to  serve 
him  with  all  your  heart  and 
with  all  your  soul, 

14  That  I  will  give  you  the 
rain  of  your  land  in  his  due 
season,  the  first  rain  and  the 
latter  rain,  that  thou  mayest 
gather  in  thy  corn,  and  thy 
wine,  and  thine  oil. 

15  And  I  will  send  grass  in  thy 
fields  for  thy  cattle,  that  thou 
mayest  eat  and  be  full. 

16  Take  heed  to  yourselves, 
that  your  heart  be  not  de- 
ceived, and  ye  turn  aside,  and 
serve  other  gods,  and  worship 
them; 

17  And  then  the  Lord's  wrath 
be  kindled  against  you,  and  he 
shut  up  the  heaven,  that  there 
be  no  rain,  and  that  the  land 
yield  not  her  fruit ;  and  lest  ye 
perish  quickly  from  off  the  good 
land  which  the  Lord  giveth  you. 

18  ITTheref ore  shall  ye  lay  up 
these  my  words  in  your  heart 
and  in  your  soul,  and  bind  them 
for  a  sign  upon  your  hand,  that 
they  may  be  as  frontlets  be- 
tween your  eyes. 

19  And  ye  shall  teach  them 
your  children,  speaking  of  them 
when  thou  si tt est  in  thine  house, 
and  when  thou  walkest  by  the 
way,  when  thou  liest  down,  and 
when  thou  risest  up. 

20  And  thou  shalt  write  them 
upon  the  door  posts  of  thine 
house,  and  upon  thy  gates : 

21  That  your  days  may  be  mul- 
tiplied, and  the  days  of  your 
children,  in  the  land  which  the 
Lord  sware  unto  your  fathers 
to  give  them,  as  the  days  of 
heaven  upon  the  earth. 

22  ITFor  if  ye  shall  diligently 
keep  all  these  commandments 
which  I  command  you,  to  do 
them,  to  love  the  Lord  your 


their  seed,  a  land  that  floweth  God,  to  walk  in  all  his  ways, 
with  milk  and  honey.  land  to  cleave  unto  him;

23  Then  will  the  Lord  drive 
out  all  these  nations  from  be-

greater  nations  and  mightier 
than  yourselves. 

24  Every  place  whereon  the 
soles  of  your  feet  shall  tread 
shall  be  y out's:  from  the  wil-

even  unto  the  uttermost  sea 
shall  your  coast  be.

fear  of  vou  and  the  dread  of  you 
upon  all  the  land  that  ye  shall 
tread  upon,  as  he  hath  said  un- 
to vou. 

26  f Behold,  I  set  before  you 
this  day  a  blessing  and  a  curse ; 

27  A  blessing,  if  ye  obey  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord 
your  God,  which  I  command 
you  this  day: 

28  And  a  curse,  if  ye  will  not 
obey  the  commandments  of  the 
Lord  vour  God,  but  turn  aside 
out  of  the  way  which  I  com- 
mand you  this  day,  to  go  after 
other  gods,  which  ye  have  not 
known. 

29  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  the  Lord  thy  God  nath 
brought  thee  in  unto  the  land 
whither  thou  goest  to  possess 
it,  that  thou  shalt  put  the  bless- 
ing upon  mount  Gert-zfm,  and 
the  curse  upon  mount  E'bal.

of  the  Ca'nfianltes,  which  dwell 
in  the  champaign  over  against 
Gfl'gal,  beside  the  plains  of 
Mo'reh? 

31  For  ye  shall  pass  over  Jdr'- 
dan  to  go  in  to  possess  the  land 
which  the  Lord  your  God  giv- 
eth  you,  and  ye  shall  possess  it, 
and  dwell  therein. 

32  And  ye  shall  observe  to  do 
all  the  statutes  and  judgments 
which  I  set  before  you  this  day. 

CHAPTER  12 

Monuments  of  idolatry  are  to  be  de- 
stroyed. 5  The  place  of  God's  serv- 
ice %s  to  be  kept.  16.  23  Blood  for- 
bidden. 17.  20,  26  Holy  thing*  to 
be  eaten  in  the  holy  place. 

rpHESE  are  the  statutes  and 
JL  judgments,  which  ye  shall 
observe  to  do  in  the  land,  which 
the  Lord  God  of  thy  fathers  giv- 
eth  thee  to  possess  it,  all  the 
days  that  ye  live  upon  the 
earth. 

2  Ye  shall  utterly  destroy  all 
the  places,  wherein  the  nations 
which  ye  shall  possess  served 
their  gods,  upon  the  high  moun 


tains,  and  upon  the  hills,  and 
under  every  green  tree : 

3  And  ye  shall  overthrow  their 
altars,  and  break  their  pillars, 
and  burn  their  groves  with  fire ; 
and  ye  shall  hew  down  the 
graven  images  of  their  gods, 
and  destroy  the  names  of  them 
out  of  that  place. 

4  Ye  shall  not  do  so  unto  the 
Lord  your  God. 

5  But  unto  the  place  which  the 
Lord  your  God  shall  choose  out 
of  all  your  tribes  to  put  his 
name  there,  even  unto  his  hab- 
itation shall  ye  seek,  and  thither 
thou  shalt  come: 

6  And  thither  ye  shall  bring 
your  burnt  offerings,  and  your 
sacrifices,  and  your  tithes,  and 
heave  offerings  of  your  hand, 
and  your  vows,  and  your  free- 
will offerings,  and  the  firstlings 
of  vour  herds  and  of  your 
flocks: 

7  And  there  ye  shall  eat  before 
the  Lord  your  God,  and  ye  shall 
rejoice  in  all  that  ye  put  your 
hand  unto,  ye  and  your  house- 
holds, wherein  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath  blessed  thee. 

8  Ye  shall  not  do  after  all  the 
things  that  we  do  here  this 
day,  every  man  whatsoever  is 
right  in  his  own  eyes. 

9  For  ye  are  not  as  yet  come 
to  the  rest  and  to  the  inherit- 
ance, which  the  Lord  your  God 
giveth  you. 

10  But  when  ye  go  over  J8i/- 
dan,  and  dwell  in  the  land 
which  the  Lord  your  God  ffiv- 
eth  you  to  inherit,  and  when 
he  giveth  you  rest  from  all 
your  enemies  round  about,  so 
that  ye  dwell  in  safety; 

11  Then  there  shall  be  a  place 
which  the  Lord  your  God  shall 
choose  to  cause  his  name  to 
dwell  there;  thither  shall  ye 
bring  all  that  I  command  you ; 
your  burnt  offerings,  and  your 
sacrifices,  your  tithes,  and  the 
heave  offering t  of  your  hand, 
and  all  your  choice  vows  which 
ye  vow  unto  the  Lord  : 

12  And  ye  shall  rejoice  before 
the  Lord  your  God,  ye,  and 
your  sons,  and  your  daughters, 
and  your  menservants,  and  your 
maidservants,  and  the  Le'vite 
that  is  within  your  gates;  for- 
asmuch as  he  hath  no  part  nor 
inheritance  with  you. 

13  Take  heed  to  thyself  that 
thou  offer  not  thy  burnt  offer- 
ings in  every  place  that  thou 
seest: 

14  But  in  the  place  which  the 
Lord  shall  choose  in  one  of  thy 
tribes,  there  thou  shalt  offer  thy

burnt  offerings,  and  there  thou 
shalt  do  all  that  I  command 
thee. 

15  Notwithstanding  thou  may- 
est kill  and  eat  flesh  in  all  thy 
gates,  whatsoever  thy  soul  lust- 
eth  after,  according  to  the 
blessing  of  the  Lord  thy  God 
which  he  hath  given  thee :  the 
unclean  and  the  clean  may  eat 
thereof,  as  of  the  roebuck,  and 
as  of  the  hart 

16  Only  ye  shall  not  eat  the 
blood;  ye  shall  pour  it  upon  the 
earth  as  water. 

17  ITThou  may  est  not  eat  with- 
in thy  gates  the  tithe  of  thy 
corn,  or  of  thy  wine,  or  of  thy 
oil,  or  the  firstlings  of  thy 
herds  or  of  thy  flock,  nor  any 
of  thy  vows  which  thou  vowest, 
nor  thy  freewill  offerings,  or 
heave  offering  of  thine  hand: 

18  But  thou  must  eat  them 
before  the  Lord  thy  God  in  the 
place  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
shall  choose,  thou,  and  thy  son, 
and  thy  daughter,  and  thy  man- 
servant, and  thy  maidservant, 
and  the  LSVite  that  is  within 
thy  gates:  and  thou  shalt  re- 
joice before  the  Lord  thy  God 
in  all  that  thou  puttest  thine 
hands  unto. 

19  Take  heed  to  thyself  that 
thou  forsake  not  the  Lg'vite  as 
long  as  thou  livest  upon  the 
earth. 

20  IT  When  the  Lord  thy  God 
shall  enlarge  thy  border,  as  he 
hath  promised  thee,  and  thou 
shalt  say,  I  will  eat  flesh,  because 
thy  soul  longeth  to  eat  flesh ; 
thou  mayest  eat  flesh,  whatso- 
ever thy  soul  lusteth  after. 

21  If  the  place  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  hath  chosen  to  put  his 
name  there  be  too  far  from  thee, 
then  thou  shalt  kill  of  thy  herd 
and  of  thy  flock,  which  the  Lord 
hath  given  thee,  as  I  have  com- 
manded thee,  and  thou  shalt  eat 
in  thy  gates  whatsoever  thy  soul 
lusteth  after. 

22  Even  as  the  roebuck  and 
the  hart  is  eaten,  so  thou  shalt 
eat  them :  the  unclean  and  the 
clean  shall  eat  of  them  alike. 

23  Only  be  sure  that  thou  eat 
not  the  blood :  for  the  blood  is 
the  life;  and  thou  mayest  not 
eat  the  life  with  the  flesh. 

24  Thou  shalt  not  eat  it ;  thou 
shalt  pour  it  upon  the  earth  as 
water 

25  Thou  shalt  not  eat  it;  that 
it  may  go  well  with  thee,  and 
with  thy  children  after  thee, 
when  thou  shalt  do  that  which 
is  right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord. 

26  Only  thy  holy  things  which 


thou  hast,  and  thy  vows,  thou 
shalt  take,  and  go  unto  the  place 
which  the  Lord  shall  choose: 

27  And  thou  shalt  offer  thy 
burnt  offerings,  the  flesh  and 
the  blood,  upon  the  altar  of  the 
Lord  thy  God:  and  the  blood  of 
thy  sacrifices  shall  be  poured 
out  upon  the  altar  of  the  Lord 
thy  God,  and  thou  shalt  eat  the 
flesh. 

28  Observe  and  hear  all  these 
words  which  I  command  thee, 
that  it  may  go  well  with  thee, 
and  with  thy  children  after 
thee  for  ever,  when  thou  doest 
that  which  is  good  and  right  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord  thy  God. 

29  When  the  Lord  thy  God 
shall  cut  off  the  nations  from 
before  thee,  whither  thou  goest 
to  possess  them,  and  thou  suc- 
ceedest  them,  and  dwellest  in 
their  land ; 

50  Take  heed  to  thyself  that 
thou  be  not  snared  by  follow- 
ing them,  after  that  they  be 
destroyed  from  before  thee; 
and  that  thou  enquire  not  after 
their  gods, saying, How  did  these 
nations  serve  their  gods?  even 
so  will  I  do  likewise. 

31  Thou  shalt  not  do  so  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God:  for  every 
abomination  to  the  Lord,  which 
he  hateth,  have  they  done  unto 
their  gods ;  for  even  their  sons 
and  their  daughters  they  have 
burnt  in  the  fire  to  their  gods. 

32  What  thing  soever  I  com- 
mand you,  observe  to  do  it 
thou  shalt  not  add  thereto,  nor 
diminish  from  it

Lord  your  God,  which  brought 
you  out  of  the  land  of  &fc§vU 
and  redeemed  you  out  of  the 
house  of  bondage,  to  thrust  thee 
out  of  the  way  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  commanded  thee  to 
walk  in.  So  shalt  thou  out  the 
evil  away  from  the  midst  of 
thee. 

6  flf  thy  brother,  the  son  of 
thy  mother,  or  thy  son,  or  thy

as  thine  own  soul,  entice  thee 
secretly,  saying,  Let  us  go  and

7  Namely,  of  the  gods  of  the 
people  which  are  round  about 
you,  nigh  unto  thee,  or  far  off 
from  thee,  from  the  one  end  of

neither  shall  thine  eye  pity  him, 
neither  shalt  thou  spare,  neither 
shalt  thou  conceal  him : 

9  But  thou  shalt  surely  kill 
him;  thine  hand  shall  be  first 
upon  him  to  put  him  to  death, 
and  afterwards  the  hand  of  all 
the  people. 

10  And  thou  shalt  stone  him 
with  stones,  that  he  die;  be- 
cause he  hath  sought  to  thrust 
thee  away  from  the  Lord  thy 
God,  which  brought  thee  out  of 
the  land  of  E'fijfpt,  from  the 
house  of  bondage. 

11  And  all  la'ra-el  shall  hear, 
and  fear,  and  shall  do  no  more 
any  such  wickedness  as  this  is 
among  you. 

12  IFIf  thou  shalt  hear  say  in 
one  of  thy  cities,  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  given  thee 
to  dwell  there,  saying, 

13  Certain  men,  the  children 
of  Beli-al,  are  gone  out  from 
among  you,  and  have  with- 
drawn the  inhabitants  of  their 
city,  saying,  Let  us  go  and  serve 
other  gods,  which  ye  have  not 
known; 

14  Then  shalt  thou  enquire, 
and  make  search,  and  ask  dili- 
gently ;  and,  behold,  if  it  be 
truth,  and  the  thing  certain, 
that  such  abomination  is 
wrought  among  you; 

15  Thou  shalt  surely  smite  the 
inhabitants  of  that  city  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword,  destroying  it 
utterly,  and  all  that  is  therein, 
and  the  cattle  thereof,  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword. 


16  And  thou  shalt  gather  all 
the  spoil  of  it  into  the  midst  of 
the  street  thereof,  and  shalt 
burn  with  fire  the  city,  and  all 
the  spoil  thereof  every  whit,  for 
the  Lord  thy  God :  and  it  shall 
be  an  heap  for  ever ;  it  shall  not 
be  built  again. 

17  And  there  shall  cleave 
nought  of  the  cursed  thing  to 
thine  hand :  that  the  Lord  may 
turn  from  the  fierceness  of  his 
anger,  and  shew  thee  mercy,  and 
have  compassion  upon  thee,  and 
multiply  thee,  as  he  hath  sworn 
unto  thy  fathers; 

18  When  thou  shalt  hearken  to 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God, 
to  keep  all  his  commandments 
which  I  command  thee  this  day, 
to  do  that  which  is  right  in  the 
eyes  of  the  Lord  thy  God. 

CHAPTER  14 

God's  children  must  not  disfigure 
themselves  in  mourning.  3  What 
may  be  eaten,  and  what  may  not, 
4  of  beasts,  9  of  fishes,  11  of  fowls, 
22  Tithes  of  divine  service.  28  The 
third  year's  tithe  of  alms  and  char- 
ity. 
YE  are  the  children  of  the 
Lord  your  God:  ye  shall 

not  cut  yourselves,  nor  make 

any  baldness  between  your  eyes 

for  the  dead. 

2  For  thou  art  an  holy  people 
unto  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  the 
Lord  hath  chosen  thee  to  be  a 
peculiar  people  unto  himself, 
above  all  the  nations  that  are 
upon  the  earth. 

3  TThou  shalt  not  eat  any 
abominable  thing. 

4  These  are  the  beasts  which 
ye  shall  eat :  the  ox,  the  sheep, 
and  the  goat, 

5  The  hart,  and  the  roebuck, 
and  the  fallow  deer,  and  the 
wild  goat,  and  the  pygarg,  and 
the  wild  ox,  and  the  chamois. 

6  And  every  beast  that  parteth 
the  hoof,  and  cleaveth  the  cleft 
into  two  claws,  and  cheweth  the 
cud  among  the  beasts,  that  ye 
shall  eat 

7  Nevertheless  these  ve  shall 
not  eat  of  them  that  chew  the 
cud,  or  of  them  that  divide  the 
cloven  hoof;  as  the  camel,  and 
the  hare,  and 'the  coney:  for 
they  chew  the  cud,  but  divide 
not  the  hoof;  therefore  they 
are  unclean  unto  you. 

8  And  the  swine,  because  it 
divideth  the  hoof,  yet  cheweth 
not  the  cud,  it  is  unclean  unto 
you :  ye  shall  not  eat  of  their 
flesh,  nor  touch  their  dead  car- 
case. 

9  IThese  ye  shall  eat  of  all 
that  are  in  the  waters:  all  that 
have  fins  and  scales  shall  ye  eat :

eat 

12  But  these  are  they  of  which 
ye  shall  not  eat :  the  eagle,  and 
the  ossifrage,  and  the  ospray, 

13  And  the  glede,  and  the  late, 
and  the  vulture  after  his  kind,

19  And  every  creeping  thing 
that  flieth  is  unclean  unto  you 
they  shall  not  be  eaten. 

20  But  of  all  clean  fowls  ye 
may  eat 

21  IFYe  shall  not  eat  of  any 
thing  that  dieth  of  itself :  thou 
shalt  give  it  unto  the  stranger 
that  is  in  thy  gates,  that  he  may 
eat  it ;  or  thou  mayest  sell  it  un- 
to an  alien :  for  thou  art  an  holy 
people  unto  the  Lord  thy  God. 
Thou  shalt  not  seethe  a  kid  in 
his  mother's  milk. 

22  Thou  shalt  truly  tithe  all 
the  increase  of  thy  seed,  that 
the  field  bringeth  forth  year  by 
year. 

23  And  thou  shalt  eat  before 
the  Lord  thy  God,  in  the  place 
which  he  shall  choose  to  place 
his  name  there,  the  tithe  of  thy 
corn,  of  thy  wine,  and  of  thine 
oil,  and  the  firstlings  of  thy 
herds  and  of  thy  flocks;  that 
thou  mayest  learn  to  fear  the 
Lord  thy  God  always. 

24  And  if  the  way  be  too  long 
for  thee,  so  that  thou  art  not 
able  to  carry  it ;  or  if  the  place 
be  too  far  from  thee,  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  shall  choose  to 
set  his  name  there,  when  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  blessed  thee  : 

25  Then  shalt  thou  turn  it  in- 
to  money,  and  bind  up  the 
money  in  thine 'hand,  ana  shalt 
go  unto  the  place  which  the 
Lord  th y  God  shall  choose : 

26  And  thou  shalt  bestow  that 
money  for  whatsoever  thy  soul 
lusteth  after,  for  oxen,  or  for 
sheep,  or  for  wine,  or  for  strong 
drink,  or  for  whatsoever  thy 
soul  desireth:  and  thou  shaft 
eat  there  before  the  Lord  thy 
God,  and  thou  shalt  rejoice, 
thou,  and  thine  household, 

27  And  the   Le'vite   that   is 


within  thy  gates ;  thou  shalt  not 
forsake  him;  for  he  hath  no 
part  nor  inheritance  with  thee. 

28  lAt  the  end  of  three  years 
thou  shalt  bring  forth  all  the 
tithe  of  thine  increase  the  same 
year,  and  shalt  lay  it  up  within 
thy  gates: 

29  And  the  Le'vite,  (because 
he  hath  no  part  nor  inheritance 
with  thee,)  and  the  stranger, 
and  the  fatherless,  and  the 
widow,  which  are  within  thy 
gates,  shall  come,  and  shall  eat 
and  be  satisfied ;  that  the  Lord 
thy  God  may  bless  thee  in  all 
the  work  of  thine  hand  which 
thoudoest 

CHAPTER  15 

The  seventh  year  a  year  of  release  for 
the  poor  :  7  it  must  be  no  hindrance 
to  lending  or  giving.  12  Of  He- 
brew servants  freedom.  19  All 
firstling  males  of  cattle  to  be  sanc- 
tified unto  the  Lord. 

AT  the  end  of  every  seven 
years  thou  shalt  make  a 
release. 

2  And  this  is  the  manner  of 
the  release :  Every  creditor  that 
lendeth  ought  unto  his  neigh 
bour  shall  release  it ;  he  shall 
not  exact  it  of  his  neighbour,  or 
of  his  brother;  because  it  is 
called  the  Lord's  release. 

3  Of  a  foreigner  thou  mayest 
exact  it  again :  but  that  which 
is  thine  with  thy  brother  thine 
hand  shall  release ; 

4  Save  when  there  shall  be  no 
poor  among  you ;  for  the  Lord 
shall  greatly  bless  thee  in  the 
land  which  the  Lord  thv  God 
giveth  thee  for  an  inheritance 
to  possess  it : 

5  Only  if  thou  carefully  heark 
en  unto  the  voice  of  the  Lord 
thy  God,  to  observe  to  do  all 
these  commandments  which  I 
command  thee  this  day. 

6  For  the  Lord  thy  God  bless- 
eth  thee,  as  he  promised  thee : 
and  thou  shalt  lend  unto  many 
nations,  but  thou  shalt  not  bor- 
row ;  and  thou  shalt  reign  over 
many  nations,  but  they  shall 
not  reign  over  thee. 

7  IFIf  there  be  among  you  a 
poor  man  of  one  of  thy  brethren 
within  any  of  thy  gates  in  thy 
land  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
riveth  thee,  thou  shalt  not 
harden  thine  heart,  nor  shut 
thine  hand  from  thy  poor 
brother : 

8  But  thou  shalt  open  thine 
hand  wide  unto  him,  and  shalt 
surely  lend  him  sufficient  for 
his  need,  in  that  which  he 
wanteth.

thought  in  thy  wicked  heart, 
saying,  The  seventh  year,  the 
year  of  release,  is  at  hand ;  and 
thine  eye  be  evil  against  thy 
poor  brother,  and  thou  givest 
Kim  nought;  and  he  cry  unto 
the  Lord  against  thee,  and  it 
be  sin  unto  thee. 

10  Thou  shalt  surely  give  him, 
and  thine  heart  shall  not  be 
grieved  when  thou  givest  unto 
him:  because  that  for  this 
thing  the  Lord  thy  God  shall 
bless  thee  in  all  thy  works,  and 
in  all  that  thou  puttest  thine 
hand  unto. 

11  For  the  poor  shall  never 
cease  out  of  the  land:  there- 
fore I  command  thee,  saying, 
Thou  shalt  open  thine  hand 
wide  unto  thy  brother,  to  thy 
poor,  and  to  thy  needy,  in  thy 
land. 

12  \And  if  thy  brother,  an 
Hel>rew  man,  or  an  He'brew 
woman,  be  sold  unto  thee,  and 
serve  thee  six  years;  then  in 
the  seventh  year  thou  shalt  let 
him  go  free  from  thee. 

13  And  when  thou  sendest 
him  out  free  from  thee,  thou 
shalt  not  let  him  go  away 
empty: 

14  Thou  shalt  furnish  him 
liberally  out  of  thy  flock,  and 
out  of  thy  floor,  and  out  of  thy 
winepress:  of  thai  wherewith 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  blessed 
thee  thou  shalt  give  unto  him. 

15  And  thou  shalt  remember 
that  thou  wast  a  bondman  in 
the  land  of  £'g?pt,  and  the 
Lord  thy  God  redeemed  thee: 
therefore  I  command  thee  this 
thing  to  day. 

16  And  it  shall  be,  if  he  say 
unto  thee,  I  will  not  go  away 
from  thee;  because  he  loveth 
thee  and  thine-  house,  because 
he  is  well  with  thee ; 

17  Then  thou  shalt  take  an 
aul,  and  thrust  it  through  his 
ear  unto  the  door,  and  he  shall 
be  thy  servant  for  ever.  And 
also  unto  thy  maidservant  thou 
shalt  do  likewise. 

18  It  shall  not  seem  hard  unto 
thee,  When  thou  sendest  him 
away  free  from  thee;  for  he 
hath  been  worth  a  double  hired 
servant  to  thee,  in  serving  thee 
six  years:  and  the  Lord  thy 
God  shall  bless  thee  in  all  that 
thou  doest 

19  fAll  the  firstling  males  that 
come  of  thy  herd  and  of  thy 
flock  thou  shalt  sanctify  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God :  thou  shalt  do 
no  work  with  the  firstling  of  thy 
bullock,  nor  shear  the  firstling 
of  thy  sheep. 


20  Thou  shalt  eat  if  before  the 
Lord  thy  God  year  by  year  in 
the  place  which  the  Lord  shall 
choose,  thou  and  thy  household. 

21  And  if  there  be  any  blem- 
ish therein,  as  if  it  be  lame,  or 
blind,  or  have  any  ill  blemish, 
thou  shalt  not  sacrifice  it  unto 
the  Lord  thv  God. 

22  Thou  shalt  eat  it  within 
thy  gates:  the  unclean  and  the 
clean  person  shall  eat  it  alike, 
as  the  roebuck,  and  as  the  hart. 

23  Only  thou  shalt  not  eat  the 
blood  thereof;  thou  shalt  pour 
it  upon  the  ground  as  water. 

CHAPTER  16 

The  feast  of  the  passover,  9  of weeks, 
13  of  tabernacles.  18  Of  judges, 
and  cf  justice.  21  Groves  and  im- 
ages forbidden. 

OBSERVE  the  month  of  AT>ib, 
and  keep  the  passover  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God:  for  in  the 
month  of  AT)ib  the  Lord  thy 
God  brought  thee  forth  out  of 
E'gjrpt  by  night 

2  Thou  shalt  therefore  sacri- 
fice the  passover  unto  the  Lord 
thy  God,  of  the  flock  and  the 
herd,  in  the  place  which  the 
Lord  shall  choose  to  place  his 
name  there. 

3  Thou  shalt  eat  no  leav- 
ened bread  with  it ;  seven  days 
shalt  thou  eat  unleavened  bread 
therewith,  even  the  bread  of  af- 
fliction; for  thou  earnest  forth 
out  of  the  land  of  r^gftrt  in 
haste:  that  thou  mayest  re- 
member the  day  when  thou 
earnest  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt  all  the  days  of  thy  life. 

4  And  there  shall  be  no  leav- 
ened bread  seen  with  thee  in 
all  thy  coast  seven  days;  nei- 
ther shall  there  any  thing  of 
the  flesh,  which  thou  sacrific- 
edst  the  first  day  at  even,  re- 
main all  night  until  the  morn 

ing- 

5  Thou  mayest  not  sacrifice 
the  passover  within  any  of  thy 
gates,  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
giveth  thee : 

6  But  at  the  place  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  shall  choose  to 
place  his  name  in,  there  thou 
shalt  sacrifice  the  passover  at 
even,  at  the  going  down  of  the 
sun,  at  the  season  that  thou 
earnest  forth  out  of  E'gypt. 

7  And  thou  shalt  roast  and  eat 
it  in  the  place  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  shall  choose:  and  thou 
shalt  turn  in  the  morning,  and 
go  unto  thy  tents. 

8  Six  days  thou  shalt  eat  un- 
leavened bread:  and  on  the 
seventh  day  shall  be  a  solemn 
assembly  to  the  Lord  thy  God :

number  unto  thee:  begin  to 
number  the  seven  weeks  from 
suck  time  as  thou  beginnest 
to  put  the  sickle  to  the  corn. 

10  And  thou  shalt  keep  the 
feast  of  weeks  unto  the  Lord 
thy  God  with  a  tribute  of  a 
freewill  offering  of  thine  hand, 
which  thou  shaft  give  unto  the 
Lord  thy  God,  according  as 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  blessed 
thee: 

11  And  thou  shalt  rejoice  be- 
fore the  Lord  thy  God,  thou, 
and  thy  son,  and  thy  daughter, 
and  thy  manservant,  and  thy 
maidservant,  and  the  Le'vite

less, and  the  widow,  that  are 
among  you,  in  the  place  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  chosen 
to  place  his  name  there. 

12  And  thou  shalt  remember 
that  thou  wast  a  bondman  in 
£'gypt:  and  thou  shalt  observe 
and  do  these  statutes. 

13  ITThou  shalt  observe  the 
feast  of  tabernacles  seven  days, 
after  that  thou  hast  gathered 
in  thy  corn  and  thy  wine: 

14  And  thou  shalt  rejoice  in 
thy  feast,  thou,  and  thy  son, 
and  thy  daughter,  and  thy  man- 
servant, and  thy  maidservant, 
and  the  Le'vite,  the  stranger, 
and  the  fatherless,  and  the  wid- 
ow, that  are  within  thy  gates. 

15  Seven  days  shalt  thou  keep 
a  solemn  feast  unto  the  Lord 
thy  God  in  the  place  which  the 
Lord  shall  choose :  because  the 
Lord  thy  God  shall  bless  thee 
in  all  thine  increase,  and  in  all 
the  works  of  thine  hands,  there- 
fore thou  shalt  surely  rejoice. 

16  HThree  times  in  a  year

place  which  he  shall  choose ;  in 
the  feast  of  unleavened  bread, 
and  in  the  feast  of  weeks,  and 
in  the  feast  of  tabernacles :  and 
they  shall  not  appear  before  the 
Lord  empty : 

17  Every  man  shall  give  as  he 
is  able,  according  to  the  bless- 
ing of  the  Lord  thy  God  which 
he  hath  riven  thee. 

18  1f  Judges  and  officers  shalt 
thou  make  thee  in  all  thy  gates, 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee,  throughout  thy  tribes: 
and  they  shall  judge  the  people 
with  just  judgment 

19  Thou  shalt  not  wrest  judg- 
ment; thou  shalt  not  respect 
persons,  neither  take  a  gift :  for 
a  gift  doth  blind  the  eyes  of  the 


wise,  and  pervert  the  words  of 
the  righteous. 

20  That  which  is  altogether 
just  shalt  thou  follow,  that  thou 
mayest  live,  and  inherit  the 
land  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
giveth  thee. 

21  Thou  shalt  not  plant  thee 
a  grove  of  any  trees  near  unto 
the  altar  of  the  Lord  tlnr  God, 
which  thou  shalt  make  thee.

blemish,  or  any  evilfavoured- 
ness;  for  that  is  an  abomina- 
tion unto  the  Lord  thy  God. 

2  IT  If  there  be  found  among 
you,  within  any  of  thy  gates 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giv- 
eth thee,  man  or  woman,  that 
hath  wrought  wickedness  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord  thy  God,  in 
transgressing  his  covenant, 

3  And  hath  gone  and  served 
other  gods,  and*  worshipped 
them,  either  the  sun,  or  moon, 
or  any  of  the  host  of  heaven, 
which  I  have  not  commanded ; 

4  And  it  be  told  thee,  and  thou 
hast  heard  of  it,  and  enquired 
diligently,  and,  behold,  it  be 
true,  ana  the  thing  certain,  that 
such  abomination  is  wrought  in 
Is/ra-el : 

5  Then  shalt  thou  bring  forth 
that  man  or  that  woman,  which 
have  committed  that  wicked 
thing,  unto  thy  gates,  even  that 
man  or  that  woman,  and  shalt 
stone  them  with  stones,  till  they 
die. 

6  At  the  mouth  of  two  wit- 
nesses, or  three  witnesses,  shall 
he  that  is  worthy  of  death  be 
put  to  death ;  but  at  the  mouth 
of  one  witness  he  shall  not  be 
put  to  death. 

7  The  hands  of  the  witnesses 
shall  be  first  upon  him  to  put 
him  to  death,  and  afterward  the 
hands  of  all  the  people.  So  thou 
shalt  put  the  evil  away  from 
among  you. 

8  f  If  there  arise  a  matter  too 
hard  for  thee  in  judgment,  be- 
tween blood  and  blood,  between 
plea  and  plea,  and  between 
stroke  and  stroke,  being  mat- 
ters of  controversy  within  thy 
gates:  then  shalt  thou  arise, 
and  get  thee  up  into  the  place

which  the  Lord  thy  God  shall 
choose; 
9  And  thou  shalt  come  unto 
the  priests  the  Le'vites,  and 
onto  the  judge  that  shall  be  in 
those  days,  and  enquire;  and 
they  shall  shew  thee  the  sen- 
tence  of  judgment 
a  10  And  thou  shalt  do  accord- 
ing to  the  sentence,  which  they 
of  that  place  which  the  Lord 
shall  choose  shall  shew  thee; 
and  thou  shalt  observe  to  do 
according  to  all  that  they  in- 
form thee: 

11  According  to  the  sentence 
of  the  law  which  they  shall 
teach  thee,  and  according  to 
the  judgment  which  they  shall 
tell  thee,  thou  shalt  do:  thou 
shalt  not  decline  from  the  sen- 
tence which  they  shall  shew 
thee,  to  the  right  hand,  nor  to 
the  left 

12  And  the  man  that  will  do 
presumptuously,  and  will  not 
hearken  unto  the  priest  that 
standeth  to  minister  there  be- 
fore the  Lord  thy  God,  or  unto 
the  judge,  even  that  man  shall 
die:  and  thou  shalt  put  away 
the  evil  from  Ig'ra-eL 

13  And  all  the  people  shall 
hear,  and  fear,  and  do  no  more 
presumptuously. 

14  f  When  thou  art  come  unto 
the  land  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  giveth  thee,  and  shalt  pos- 
sess it,  and  shalt  dwell  therein, 
and  shalt  say,  I  will  set  a  king 
over  me,  like  as  all  the  nations 
that  are  about  me ; 

15  Thou  shalt  in  any  wise  set 
him  king  over  thee,  whom  the 
Lord  thy  God  shall  choose :  one 
from  among  thy  brethren  shalt 
thou  set  king  over  thee:  thou 
mayest  not  set  a  stranger  over 
thee,  which  is  not  thy  brother. 

16  But  he  shall  not  multiply 
horses  to  himself,  nor  cause  the 
people  to  return  to  E'fejrpt,  to 
the  end  that  he  should  multi- 

Ly  horses:  forasmuch  as  the 
ird  hath  said  unto  you,  Ye 
shall  henceforth  return  no  more 
that  way. 

17  Neither  shall  he  multiply 
wives  to  himself,  that  his  heart 
turn  not  away :  neither,  shall  he 
greatly  multiply  to  himself  sil- 
ver and  gold. 

18  And  it  shall  be,  when  he 
sitteth  upon  the  throne  of  his 
kingdom,  that  he  shall  write 
him  a  copy  of  this  law  in  a  book 
out  of  that  which  is  before  the 
priests  the  Le'vites : 

19  And  it  shall  be  with  him, 
and  he  shall  read  therein  all 


the  days  of  his  life:  that  he  I  witch, 

201 


may  learn  to  fear  the  Lord  his 
God.  to  keep  all  the  words  of 
this  law  and  these  statutes,  to 
do  them: 
20  That  his  heart  be  not  lifted 
up  above  his  brethren,  and  that 
he  turn  not  aside  from  the  com- 
mandment, to  the  right  hand,  or 
to  the  left :  to  the  end  that  he 
may  prolong  his  days  in  his 
kingdom,  he,  and  his  children, 
in  the  midst  of  ls/ra-el. 

CHAPTER  18 
The  Lard  is  the  priests' and  theLe* 
vites'  inheritance,  9  The  abomina* 
tions  of  the  nations  are  to  be  avoid- 
ed. 15  Christ  the  Prophet  is  to  be 
heard. 

THE  priests  the  Le'vites,  and 
all  the  tribe  of  Le'vi,  shall 
have  no  part  nor  inheritance 
with  Is'ra-el :  they  shall  eat  the 
offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by 
fire,  and  his  inheritance. 

2  Therefore  shall  they  have 
no  inheritance  among  their 
brethren :  the  Lord  is  their  in- 
heritance, as  he  hath  said  unto 
them. 

3  %  And  this  shall  be  the 
priest's  due  from  the  people, 
from  them  that  offer  a  sacrifice, 
whether  it  be  ox  or  sheep; 
and  they  shall  give  unto  the 
priest  the  shoulder,  and  the  two 
cheeks,  and  the  maw. 

4  The  firstfruit  also  of  thy 
corn,  of  thy  wine,  and  of  thine 
oil,  and  the  first  of  the  fleece  of 
thy  sheep,  shalt  thou  give  him. 

5  For  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
chosen  him  out  of  all  thy  tribes, 
to  stand  to  minister  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  him  and  his  sons 
for  ever. 

6  IT  And  if  a  LS'vite  come  from 
any  of  thy  gates  out  of  all  Is'- 
ra-el, where  he  sojourned,  and 
come  with  all  the  desire  of  his 
mind  unto  the  place  which  the 
Lord  shall  choose ; 

7  Then  he  shall  minister  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord  his  God,  as 
all  his  brethren  the  Le'vites  do, 
which  stand  there  before  the 
Lord. 

8  They  shall  have  like  por- 
tions to  eat,  beside  that  which 
cometh  of  the  sale  of  his  patri- 
mony. 

9  HWhen  thou  art  come  into 
the  land  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  giveth  thee,  thou  shalt  not 
learn  to  do  after  the  abomina- 
tions of  those  nations. 

10  There  shall  not  be  found 
amoft£  you  any  one  that  mak- 
eth  his  son  or  his  daughter  to 
pass  through  the  fire,  or  that 
useth  divination,  or  an  observer

11  Or  a  charmer,  or  a  consult- 
er  with  familiar  spirits,  or  a  wiz- 
ard, or  a  necromancer. 

12  For  all  that  do  these  things 
are  an  abomination  unto  the 
Lord:  and  because  of  these 
abominations  the  Lord  thy  God 
doth  drive  them  out  from  before 
thee. 

13  Thou  shalt  be  perfect  with 
the  Lord  thy  God. 

14  For  these  nations,  which 
thou  shalt  possess,  hearkened 
unto  observers  of  times,  and  un< 
to  diviners :  but  as  for  thee,  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  not  suffered 
thee  so  to  do. 

15  IT  The  Lord  thy  God  will 
raise  up  unto  thee  a  Prophet 
from  the  midst  of  thee,  of  thy 
brethren,  like  unto  me;  unto 
him  ye  shall  hearken ; 

16  According  to  all  that  thou 
desiredst  of  the  Lord  thy  God 
in  Hd'reb  in  the  day  of  the  as- 
sembly, saying,  Let  me  not  hear 
again  the  voice  of  the  Lord  my 
God,  neither  let  me  see  this  great 
fire  any  more,  that  I  die  not 

17  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
They  have  well  spoken  that 
which  they  have  spoken. 

18  I  will  raise  them  up  a 
Prophet  from  among  their 
brethren,  like  unto  thee,  and 
will  put  my  words  in  his 
mouth ;  and  he  shall  speak  un- 
to them  all  that  I  shall  com- 
mand him. 

19  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  whosoever  will  not  hearken 
unto  my  words  which  he  shall 
speak  in  my  name,  I  will  require 
it  of  him. 

20  But  the  prophet,  which 
shall  presume  to  speak  a  word 
in  my  name,  which  I  have  not 
commanded  him  to  speak,  or 
that  shall  speak  in  the  name  of 
other  gods,  even  that  prophet 
shall  die. 

21  And  if  thou  say  in  thine 
heart,  How  shall  we  know  the 
word  which  the  Lord  hath  not 
spoken  ? 

22  When  a  prophet  speaketh 
in  the  name  of  the  Lord,  if  the 
thing  follow  not,  nor  come  to 
pass,  that  is  the  thins  which 
the  Lord  hath  not  spoken,  but 
the  prophet  hath  spoken  it  pre- 
sumptuously :  thou  shalt  not  be 
afraid  of  him. 

CHAPTER  19 

Qf  the  cities  of  refuge.  14  The  land- 
mark i*  not  to  be  removed.  15  Two 
witnesses  required.  16  Punishment 
of  a  false  witness. 

TT7HEN  the  Lord  thy  God 

VV    hath  cut  off  the  nations, 

whose  land  the  Lord  thy  God 


giveth  thee,  and  thou  succeed- 
est  them,  and  dwellest  in  their 
cities,  and  in  their  houses ; 

2  Thou  shalt  separate  three 
cities  for  thee  in  the  midst  of 
thy  land,  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  giveth  thee  to  possess  it. 

3  Thou  shalt  prepare  thee  a 
way,  and  divide  the  coasts  of 
thy  land,  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  giveth  thee  to  inherit,  into 
three  parts,  that  every  slayer 
may  flee  thither. 

4  HAnd  this  is  the  case  of  the 
slayer,  which  shall  flee  thither, 
that  he  may  live:  Whoso  kill- 
eth  his  neighbour  ignorantly, 
whom  he  hated  not  in  time 
past; 

5  As  when  a  man  goeth  into 
the  wood  with  his  neighbour  to 
hew  wood,  and  his  hand  fetch- 
eth  a  stroke  with  the  ax  to  cut 
down  the  tree,  and  the  head 
slippeth  from  the  helve,  and 
lighteth  upon  his  neighbour, 
that  he  die ;  he  shall  flee  unto 
one  of  those  cities,  and  live : 

6  Lest  the  avenger  of  the 
blood  pursue  the  slayer,  while 
his  heart  is  hot,  and  overtake 
him,  because  the  way  is  long, 
and  slay  him ;  whereas  he  was 
not  worthy  of  death,  inasmuch 
as  he  hated  him  not  in  time 
past 

7  Wherefore  I  command  thee, 
saying,  Thou  shalt  separate 
three  cities  for  thee. 

8  And  if  the  Lord  thy  God 
enlarge  thy  coast,  as  he  hath 
sworn   unto   thy  fathers,  and 

five  thee  all  the  land  which 
e  promised  to  give  unto  thy 
fathers; 

9  If  thou  shalt  keep  all  these 
commandments  to  do  them, 
which  I  command  thee  this 
day,  to  love  the  Lord  thy  God, 
and  to  walk  ever  in  his  ways ; 
then  shalt  thou  add  three  cit- 
ies more  for  thee,  beside  these 
three : 

10  That  innocent  blood  be  not 
shed  in  thv  land,  which  the 
Lord  thy  Cfod  giveth  thee  for 
an  inheritance,  and  so  blood  be 
upon  thee. 

11  1FBut  if  any  man  hate  his 
neighbour,  and  lie  in  wait  for 
him,  and  rise  up  against  him, 
and  smite  him  mortally  that  he 
die,  and  fleeth  into  one  of  these 
cities: 

12  Then  the  elders  of  his  city 
shall  send  and  fetch  him  thence, 
and  deliver  him  into  the  hand 
of  the  avenger  of  blood,  that 
he  may  die. 

13  Thine  eye  shall  not  pity 
him,  but  thou  shalt  put  away

rrong; 

17  Then  both  the  men,  be- 
tween whom  the  controversy  is, 
shall  stand  before  the  Lord,  be- 
fore the  priests  and  the  judges, 
which  shall  be  in  those  days ; 

18  And  the  judges  shall  make 
diligent  inquisition:  and,  be- 
hold, if  the  witness  be  a  false 
witness,  and  hath  testified  false- 
ly against  his  brother; 

19  Then  shall  ye  do  unto  him, 
as  he  had  thought  to  have  done 
unto  his  brother:  so  shalt  thou 
put  the  evil  away  from  among 
you. 

20  And  those  which  remain 
shall  hear,  and  fear,  and  shall 
henceforth  commit  no  more 
any  such  evil  among  you. 

21  And  thine  eye  shall  not 
pity ;  but  life  shall  go  for  life, 
eye  for  eye,  tooth  for  tooth, 
hand  for  hand,  foot  for  foot 

CHAPTER  20 

The  priest's  exhortation  to  encourage 
the  people  to  battle.  10  How  to  use 
the  cities  that  accept  or  refuse  the 
proclamation  of  peace.  16  What 
cities  must  be  devoted. 

WHEN  thou  goest  out  to 
battle  against  thine  ene- 
mies, and  seest  horses,  and  char- 
iots, and  a  people  more  than 
thou,  be  not  afraid  of  them: 
for  the  Lord  thy  God  is  with 
thee,  which  brought  thee  up 
out  of  the  land  of  E'fejpt 

2  And  it  shall  be,  when  ye  are 
come  nigh  unto  the  battle,  that 
the  priest  shall  approach  and 
speak  unto  the  people, 

3  And  shall  say  unto  them, 
Hear,  0  Is'ra-el,  ye  approach 
this  day  unto  battle  against 
your  enemies:  let  not  your 
hearts  faint,  fear  not,  and  do 
not  tremble,  neither  be  ye  ter- 
rified because  of  them ; 

4  For  the  Lord  your  God  is  he 
that  goeth  with  you,  to  .fight  for 


you  against  your  enemies,  to 
save  you. 

5  IT  And  the  officers  shall  apeak 
unto  the  people,  saying,  What 
man  is  there  that  hath  built  a 
new  house,  and  hath  not  dedi- 
cated it  ?  let  him  go  and  return 
to  his  house,  lest  he  die  in  the 
battle,  and  another  man  dedi- 
cate it 

6  And  what  man  is  he  that 
hath  planted  a  vineyard,  and 
hath  not  yet  eaten  of  it?  let 
him  also  go  and  return  unto 
his  house,  lest  he  die  in  the  bat- 
tle, and  another  man  eat  of  it. 

7  And  what  man  is  there  that 
hath  betrothed  a  wife,  and  hath 
not  taken  her?  let  him  go  and 
return  unto  his  house,  lest  he 
die  in  the  battle,  and  another 
man  take  her. 

8  And  the  officers  shall  speak 
further  unto  the  people,  and 
they  shall  say,  What  man  is 
there  that  is  fearful  and  faint- 
hearted? let  him  go  and  return 
unto  his  house,  lest  his  breth 
ren's  heart  faint  as  well  as  his 
heart 

9  And  it  shall  be,  when  the 
officers  have  made  an  end  of 
speaking  unto  the  people,  that 
they  shall  make  captains  of  the 
armies  to  lead  the  people. 

10  fWhen  thou  comest  nijjh 
unto  a  city  to  fight  against  it, 
then  proclaim  peace  unto  it 

11  And  it  shall  be,  if  it  make 
thee  answer  of  peace,  and  open 
unto  thee,  then  it  shall  be,  that 
all  the  people  that  is  found 
therein  snail  be  tributaries  un- 
to thee,  and  they  shall  serve 
thee. 

12  And  if  it  will  make  no  peace 
with  thee,  but  will  make  war 
against  thee,  then  thou  shalt 
besiege  it: 

13  And  when  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath  delivered  it  into  thine 
hands,  thou  shalt  smite  every 
male  thereof  with  the  edge  of 
the  sword: 

14  But  the  women,  and  the 
little  ones,  and  the  cattle,  and 
all  that  is  in  the  city,  even  all 
the  spoil  thereof,  shalt  thou 
take  unto  thyself;  and  thou 
shalt  eat  the  spoil  of  thine  ene- 
mies, which  the  Lord  thy  God 
hath  given  thee. 

15  Thus  shalt  thou  do  unto  all 
the  cities  which  are  very  far  off 
from  thee,  which  are  not  of  the 
cities  of  these  nations. 

16  But  of  the  cities  of  these 
people,  which  the  Lord  thy 
Goa  doth  give  thee  for  an  in- 
heritance, thou  shalt  save  alive 
nothing  that  breatheth :

17  But  thou  ahalt  utterly  de- 
stroy them ;  namely,  the  Hif - 
ti  tea,  and  the  Am'6r-ites,  the  Cfi- 
n&an-ites,  and  the  PerTz-zites, 
the  Hi'vites,  and  the  Jeb'u-sites; 
as  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  com- 
manded thee: 

18  That  they  teach  you  not  to 
do  after  all  their  abominations, 
which  they  have  done  unto  their 
gods ;  so  should  ye  sin  against 
the  Lord  your  God. 

19  When  thou  shalt  besiege 
a  city  a  long  time,  in  making 
war  against  it  to  take  it,  thou 
shalt  not  destroy  the  trees  there- 
of by  forcing  an  ax  against 
them:  for  thou  may  est  eat  of 
them,  and  thou  shalt  not  cut 
them  down  (for  the  tree  of  the 
field  is  man's  life)  to  employ 
them  in  the  siege: 

20  Only  the  trees  which  thou 
knowest  that  they  be  not  trees 
for  meat,  thou  shalt  destroy  and 
cut  them  down ;  and  thou  shalt 
build  bulwarks  against  the  city 
that  maketh  war  with  thee,  un- 
til it  be  subdued. 


CHAPTER  21 

The  expiation  of  uncertain  murder. 
15  The  firstborn  is  not  to  be  disin- 
herited upon  private  affection.  18 
A  stubborn  eon  to  be  stoned  to  death. 

IF  one  be  found  slain  in  the 
land  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  giveth  thee  to  nossess  it, 
lying  in  the  field,  ana  it  be  not 
known  who  hath  slain  him 

2  Then  thy  elders  and  thy 
judges  shall  come  forth,  and 
they  shall  measure  unto  the 
cities  which  are  round  about 
him  that  is  slain: 

3  And  it  shall  be,  that  the  city 
which  is  next  unto  the  slain 

in,  even  the  elders  of  that 
city  shall  take  an  heifer,  which 
hath  not  been  wrought  with, 
and  which  hath  not  drawn  in 
the  yoke; 

4  And  the  elders  of  that  city 
shall  bring  down  the  heifer  un- 
to a  rough  valley,  which  is  nei- 
ther eared  nor  sown,  and  shall 
strike  off  the  heifer's  neck  there 
in  the  valley: 

5  And  the  priests  the  sons  of 
LS'vi  shall  come  near ;  for  them 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  chosen 
to  minister  unto  him,  and  to 
bless  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  ; 
and  by  their  word  shall  every 
controversy  and  every  stroke 
be  tried : 

6  And  all  the  elders  of  that 
city,  that*are  next  unto  the 
slain  man,  shall  wash  their 
hands  over  the  heifer  that  is 
beheaded  in  the  valley: 

7  And  they  shall  answer  and 

204 


LeJ.10.  Forgr 


say,  Our  hands  have  not  shed  p.p.2  S.328. 
this   blood,  neither   have  our 
eyes  seen  it. 

8  Be  merciful,  O  Lord,  unto 
thy  people  Is'ra-el,  whom  thou 
hast  redeemed,  and  lay  not  in* 
nocent  blood  unto  thy  people  of 
Is'ra-el's  charge.  And  the  blood 
shall  be  forgiven  them. 

9  So  shalt  thou  put  away  the 
guilt  of  innocent  blood  from 
among  you,  when  thou  shalt  do 
that  which  is  right  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord. 

10  When  thou  goest  forth  to 
war  against  thine  enemies,  and 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  deliv- 
ered them  into  thine  hands, 
and  thou  hast  taken  them  cap- 
tive, 

11  And  seest  among  the  cap- 
tives a  beautiful  woman,  and 
hast  a  desire  unto  her,  that  thou 
wouldest  have  her  to  thy  wife . 

12  Then  thou  shalt  bring  her 
home  to  thine  house;  and  she 
shall  shave  her  head,  and  pare 
her  nails; 

13  And  she  shall  put  the  rai- 
ment of  her  captivity  from  off 
her,  and  shall  remain  in  thine 
house,  and  bewail  her  father 
and  her  mother  a  full  month 
and  after  that  thou  shalt  go  in 
unto  her,  and  be  her  husband, 
and  she  shall  be  thy  wife. 

14  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou 
have  no  delight  in  her,  then 
thou  shalt  let  her  go  whither 
she  will;  but  thou  shalt  not 
sell  her  at  all  for  money,  thou 
shalt  not  make  merchandise  of 
her,  because  thou  hast  humbled 
her. 

15  ITIf  a  man  have  two  wives, 
one  beloved,  and  another  hated, 
and  they  have  born  him  chil- 
dren, both  the  beloved  and  the 
hated ;  and  if  tht  firstborn  son 
be  her^s  that  was  hated : 

16  Then  it  shall  be,  when  he 
maketh  his  sons  to  inherit  that 
which  he  hath,  that  he  may 
not  make  the  son  of  the  be- 
loved firstborn  before  the  son 
of  the  hated,  which  is  indeed 
the  firstborn: 

17  But  he  shall  acknowledge 
the  son  of  the  hated  for  the 
firstborn,  by  giving  him  a  doub- 
le portion  of  all  that  he  hath 
for  he  is  the  beginning  of  his 
strength ;  the  right  of  the  first- 
born is  his. 

18  TO  a  man  have  a  stubborn 
and  rebellious  son,  which  will 
not  obey  the  voice  of  his  father, 
or  the  voice  of  his  mother,  and 
that*  when  they  have  chastened 
him,  will  not  hearken  unto 
them:

20  And  they  shall  say  unto 
the  elders  of  his  city,  This  our 
son  is  stubborn  and  rebellious, 
he  will  not  obey  our  voice ;  he 
is  a  glutton,  and  a  drunkard 

21  And  all  the  men  of  his  city 
shall  stone  him  with  stones, 
that  he  die :  so  shalt  thou  put 
evil  away  from  among  you ;  and 
all  Is/ra-el  shall  hear,  and  fear. 

22  IFAnd  if  a  man  have  com- 
mitted a  sin  worthy  of  death, 
and  he  be  to  be  put  to  death, 
and  thou  hang  him  on  a  tree : 

23  His  body  shall  not  remain 
all  night  upon  the  free,  but 
thou  shalt  in  any  wise  bury  him 
that  day ;  (  for  he  that  is  hanged 
is  accursed  of  God;)  that  thy 
land  be  not  defiled,  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee  for 
an  inheritance. 

CHAPTER  22 

0/ humanity  toward  brethren.  9  Con- 
fusion to  be  avoided.  22  Adultery 
to  be  jmniehed  with  death.  28  Of 
fornication.    30  Incest  forbidden. 

THOU  shalt  not  see  thy  broth- 
er's ox  or  his  sheep  go  astray, 
and  hide  thyself  from  them: 
thou  shalt  in  any  case  bring 
them  again  unto  thy  brother. 

2  And  if  thy  brother  be  not 
nigh  unto  thee,  or  if  thou  know 
him  not,  then  thou  shalt  bring 
it  unto  thine  own  house,  and  it 
shall  be  with  thee  until  thy 
brother  seek  after  it,  and  thou 
shalt  restore  it  to  him  again. 

3  In  like  manner  shah  thou 
do  with  his  ass;  and  so  shalt 
thou  do  with  his  raiment ;  and 
with  all  lost  thing  of  thy  broth- 
er's, which  he  hath  lost,  and 
thou  hast  found,  shalt  thou  do 
likewise:  thou  mayest  not  hide 
thyself. 

4  IF  Thou  shalt  not  see  thy 
brother's  ass  or  his  ox  fall  down 
by  the  way,  and  hide  thyself 
from  them:  thou  shalt  surely 
help  him  to  lift  them  up  again. 

5  TThe  woman  shall  not  wear 
that  which  pertaineth  unto  a 
man,  neither  shall  a  man  nut  on 
a  woman's  garment :  for  all  that 
do  so  are  abomination  unto  the 
Lord  thy  God. 

6  Ittf  a  bird's  nest  chance  to  be 
before  thee  in  the  way  in  any 
tree,  or  on  the  ground,  whether 
they  be  young  ones,  or  eggs, 
and  the  dam  sitting  upon  the 
young,  or  upon  the  eggs,  thou 
shalt  not  take  the  dam  with  the 
young: 


7  But  thou  shalt  in  any  wise 
let  the  dam  go,  and  take  the 
young  to  thee;  that  it  may  be 
well  with  thee,  and  that  thou 
mayest  prolong  thy  days. 

8  When  thou  buildest  a  new 
house,  then  thou  shalt  make 
a  battlement  for  thy  roof,  that 
thou  bring  not  blood  upon  thine 
house,  if  any  man  fall  from 
thence. 

9  HThou  shalt  not  sow  thy 
vineyard  with  divers  seeds: 
lest  the  fruit  of  thy  seed  which 
thou  hast  sown,  and  the  fruit  of 
thy  vineyard,  be  defiled. 

10  TThou  shalt  not  plow  with 
an  ox  and  an  ass  together. 

11  ITThou  shalt  not  wear  a  gar- 
ment of  divers  sorts,  as  of  wool* 
len  and  linen  together. 

12  ITThou  shalt  make  thee 
fringes  upon  the  four  quarters 
of  thy  vesture,  wherewith  thou 
coverest  thyself. 

13  1  If  any  man  take  a  wife, 
and  go  in  unto  her,  and  hate  her, 

14  And  give  occasions  of 
speech  against  her,  and  bring 
up  an  evn  name  upon  her,  and 
say,  I  took  this  woman,  and 
when  I  came  to  her,  I  found  her 
not  a  maid : 

15  Then  shall  the  father  of 
the  damsel,  and  her  mother, 
take  and  bring  forth  the  tokens 
of  the  damsel's  virginity  unto 
the  elders  of  the  city  m  the 
gate: 

16  And  the  damsel's  father 
shall  say  unto  the  elders,  I  gave 
my  daughter  unto  this  man  to 
wife,  and  he  hateth  her; 

17  And,  lo,  he  hath  given  oc- 
casions of  speech  against  her, 
saying,  I  found  not  thy  daughter 
a  maid ;  and  yet  these  are  the 
tokens  of  my  daughter's  virgin- 
ity. And  they  shall  spread  the 
cloth  before  the  elders  of  the 
city. 

18  And  the  elders  of  that  city 
shall  take  that  man  and  chastise 
him; 

19  And  they  shall  amerce  him 
in  an  hundred  shekels  of  silver, 
and  give  them  unto  the  father 
of  the  damsel,  because  he  hath 
brought  up  an  evil  name  upon  a 
virgin  of  Is/ra-el :  and  she  shall 
be  his  wife ;  he  may  not  put  her 
away  all  his  days. 

20  But  if  this  thing  be  true, 
and  the  tokens  of  virginity  be 
not  found  for  the  damsel : 

21  Then  they  shall  bring  out 
the  damsel  to  the  door  of  her 
father's  house,  and  the  men  of 
her  city  shall  stone  her  with 
stones  that  she  die:  because 
she  hath  wrought  folly  in  Ifi'ra-

el,  to  play  the  whore  in  her  fa- 
ther's house  :  so  shalt  thou  put 
evil  away  from  among  you. 

22  1  If  a  man  be  found  lying 
with  a  woman  married  to  an 
husband,  then  they  shall  both 
of  them  die,  both  the  man  that 
lay  with  the  woman,  and  the 
woman:  so  shalt  thou  put  away 
evil  from  Ig'ra-el. 

23  If  a  damsel  that  is  a  virgin 
be  betrothed  unto  an  husband, 
and  a  man  find  her  in  the  city, 
and  lie  with  her; 

24  Then  ye  shall  bring  them 
both  out  unto  the  gate  of  that 
city,  and  ye  shall  stone  them 
with  stones  that  they  die ;  the 
damsel,  because  she  cried  not, 
being  in  the  city ;  and  the  man, 
because  he  hath  humbled  his 
neighbour's  wife :  so  thou  shalt 
put  away  evil  from  among  you. 

25  ITBut  if  a  man  find  a  be- 
trothed damsel  in  the  field,  and 
the  man  force  her,  and  lie  with 
her:  then  the  man  only  that 
lay  with  her  shall  die : 

26  But  unto  the  damsel  thou 
shalt  do  nothing;  there  is  in 
the  damsel  no  sin  worthy  of 
death:  f or  as  when  a  man  riseth 
against  his  neighbour,  and  slay- 
eth  him,  even  so  is  this  matter : 

27  For  he  found  her  in  the 
field,  and  the  betrothed  damsel 
cried,  and  there  was  none  to 
save  her. 

28  IF  If  a  man  find  a  damsel 
that  is  a  virgin,  which  is  not 
betrothed,  and  lay  hold  on  her, 
and  lie  with  her,  and  they  be 
found ; 

29  Then  the  man  that  lay  with 
her  shall  give  unto  the  damsel's 
father  fifty  shekels  of  silver, 
and  she  shall  be  his  wife;  be- 
cause he  hath  humbled  her,  he 
may  not  put  her  away  all  his 
days. 

30  KA  man  shall  not  take  his 
father's  wife,  nor  discover  his 
father's  skirt 

CHAPTER  23 

Who  may  and  who  may  not  enter 
into  the  congregation.  9  Undean- 
neee  to  be  avoided  in  the  host  15 
Qf  the  fugitive, 

HE  that  is  wounded  in  the 
stones,  or  hath  his  privy 
member  cut  off,  shall  not  enter 
into  the  congregation  of  the 
Lord. 

2  A  bastard  shall  not  enter 
into  the  congregation  of  the 
Lord;  even  to  his  tenth  gen- 
eration shall  he  not  enter  into 
the  congregation  of  the  Lord. 

3  An  Am  mon-ite  or  Md'ab-ite 
shall  not  enter  into  the  congre- 
gation of  the  Lord;  even  to 


their  tenth  generation  shall 
they  not  enter  into  the  congre- 
gation of  the  Lord  for  ever: 

4  Because  they  met  you  not 
with  bread  and  with  water  in 
the  way,  when  ye  came  forth 
out  of  E'gjrpt ;  and  because  they 
hired  against  thee  Balaam  the 
son  of  Be'or  of  P€'thdr  of  Mes- 
o-po-tfi'mi-a,  to  curse  thee. 

5  Nevertheless  the  Lord  thy 
God  would  not  hearken  unto 
Balaam;  but  the  Lord  thy 
God  turned  the  curse  into  a 
blessing  unto  thee,  because  the 
Lord  thy  God  loved  thee. 

6  Thou  shalt  not  seek  their 
peace  nor  their  prosperity  all 
thy  days  for  ever. 

7  Thou  shalt  not  abhor  an 
E'dom-ite;  for  he  is  thy  broth- 
er: thou  shalt  not  abhor  an 
£-£yp'tian;  because  thou  wast 
a  stranger  in  his  land. 

8  The  children  that  are  begot- 
ten of  them  shall  enter  into  the 
congregation  of  the  Lord  in 
their  third  generation. 

9  TWhen  the  host  goeth  forth 
against  thine  enemies,  then 
keep  thee  from  every  wicked 
thing. 

10  If  there  be  among  you  any 
man,  that  is  not  clean  oy  reason 
of  uncleanness  that  chanceth 
him  by  night,  then  shall  he  go 
abroad  out  of  the  camp,  he  shall 
not  come  within  the  camp : 

11  But  it  shall  be,  when  even- 
ing cometh  on,  he  shall  wash 
himself  with  water:  and  when 
the  sun  is  down,  he  shall  come 
into  the  camp  again. 

12  Thou  shalt  have  a  place 
also  without  the  camp,  whither 
thou  shalt  go  forth  abroad : 

13  And  thou  shalt  have  a  pad- 
dle upon  thy  weapon;  and  it 
shall  be,  when  thou  wilt  ease 
thyself  abroad,  thou  shalt  dig 
therewith,  and  shalt  turn  back 
and  cover  that  which  cometh 
from  thee: 

14  For  the  Lord  thy  God  walk- 
eth  in  the  midst  of  thy  camp, 
to  deliver  thee,  and  to  give  up 
thine  enemies  before  thee; 
therefore  shall  thy  camp  be 
holy:  that  he  see  no  unclean 
thing  in  thee,  and  turn  away 
from  thee. 

15  ITThou  shalt  not  deliver  un- 
to his  master  the  servant  which 
is  escaped  from  his  master  unto 
thee: 

16  He  shall  dwell  with  thee, 
even  among  you,  in  that  place 
which  he  shall  choose  in  one  of 
thy  gates,  where  it  liketh  him 
best:  thou  shalt  not  oppress 
him.

18  Thou  shalt  not  bring;  the 
hire  of  a  whore,  or  the  price  of 
a  dog,  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord  thy  God  for  any  vow: 
for  even  both  these  are  abomi- 
nation onto  the  Lord  thy  God. 

19  HThou  shalt  not  lend  upon 
usury  to  thy  brother ;  usury  of 
money,  usury  of  victuals,  usury 
of  any  thing  that  is  lent  upon 
usury: 

20  Unto  a  stranger  thou  may- 
est  lend  upon  usury;  but  unto 
thy  brother  thou  shalt  not  lend 
upon  usury:  that  the  Lord  thy 
God  may  bless  thee  in  all  that 
thou  settest  thine  hand  to  in 
the  land  whither  thou  goest  to 
possess  it 

21  When  thou  shalt  vow  a 
vow  unto  the  Lord  thy  God, 
thou  shalt  not  slack  to  pay  it : 
for  the  Lord  thy  God  will  surely 
require  it  of  thee ;  and  it  would 
be  sin  in  thee. 

22  But  if  thou  shalt  forbear  to 
vow,  it  shall  be  no  sin  in  thee. 

23  That  which  is  gone  out  of 
thy  lips  thou  shalt  keep  and  per- 
form ;  even  a  freewill  offering, 
according  as  thou  hast  vowed 
unto  the  Lord  thy  God,  which 
thou  hast  promised  with  thy 
mouth.

Of  justice;  19  of  charity. 

"IT7HEN  a  man  hath  taken  a 
VV  wife,  and  married  her, 
and  it  come  to  pass  that  she 
find  no  favour  in  his  eyes,  be- 
cause he  hath  found  some  un- 
cleanness  in  her :  then  let  him 
write  her  a  bill  of  divorcement, 
and  give  it  in  her  hand,  and 
send  her  out  of  his  house. 

2  And  when  she  is  departed 
out  of  his  house,  she  may  go 
and  be  another  man's  wife. 

3  And  if  the  latter  husband 
hate  her,  and  write  her  a  bill  of 
divorcement,  and  giveth  it  in 
her  hand,  and  sendeth  her  out 
of  his  house;  or  if  the  latter 


husband  die,  which  took  her  to 
be  his  wife ; 

4  Her  former  husband,  which 
sent  her  away,  may  not  take 
her  again  to  be  his  wife,  after 
that  she  is  defiled ;  for  that  is 
abomination  before  the  Lord: 
and  thou  shalt  not  cause  the 
land  to  sin,  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  giveth  thee  for  an  inherit- 
ance. 

5  H  When  a  man  hath  taken  a 
new  wife,  he  shall  not  go  out 
to  war,  neither  shall  he  be 
charged  with  any  business :  but 
he  shall  be  free  at  home  one 
year,  and  shall  cheer  up  his 
wife  which  he  hath  taken. 

6  IfNo  man  shall  take  the 
nether  or  the  upper  millstone 
to  pledge:  for  he  taketh  a 
man9 a  life  to  pledge. 

7  f  If  a  man  be  found  stealing 
any  of  his  brethren  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ig'ra-el,  and  maketh 
merchandise  of  him,  or  selleth 
him ;  then  that  thief  shall  die ; 
and  thou  shalt  put  evil  away 
from  among  you.

of  leprosy,  that  thou  oDserve 
diligently,  and  do  according  to 
all  that  the  priests  the  Le'vites 
shall  teach  you :  as  I  command- 
ed them,  80  ye  shall  observe 
to  do. 

9  Remember  what  the  Lord 
thy  God  did  unto  Mirl-am  by 
the  way,  after  that  ye  were 
come  forth  out  of  E^pt 

10  1  When  thou  dost  lend  thy 
brother  any  thing,  thou  shalt 
not  go  into  his  house  to  fetch 
his  pledge. 

11  Thou  shalt  stand  abroad, 
and  the  man  to  whom  thou  dost 
lend  shall  bring  out  the  pledge 
abroad  unto  thee. 

12  And  if  the  man  be  poor, 
thou  shalt  not  sleep  with  his 


■St 


13  In  any  case  thou  shalt  de- 
liver him  the  pledge  again 
when  the  sun  goeth  down,  that 
he  may  sleep  in  his  own  rai- 
ment, and  bless  thee:  and  it 
shall  be  righteousness  unto  thee 
before  the  Lord  thy  God. 

14  HThou  shalt  not  oppress  an 
hired  servant  that  is  poor  and 
needy,  whether  he  be  of  thy 
brethren,  or  of  thv  strangers 
that  are  in  thy  land  within  thy 
gates: 

15  At  his  day  thou  shalt  give 
him  his  hire,  neither  shall  the 
sun  go  down  upon  it ;  for  he  is 
poor,  and  setteth  his  heart  up- 
on it :  lest  he  cry  against  thee 
unto  the  Lord,  and  it  be  sin  un- 
to thee.

Stripes  must  not  exceed  forty.  4  The 
ox  is  not  to  be  muzzled.  11  Of  the 
immodest  woman:  13  of  un-

Amalek  is  to  be  blotted  out. 

IP  there  be  a  controversy  be- 
tween men,  and  they  come 
unto  judgment,  that  the  judges 
may  judge  them;  then  they  shall 
justify  the  righteous,  and  con- 
demn the  wicked. 

2  And  it  shall  be,  if  the  wick-

that  the  judge  snail  cause  him 
to  lie  down,  and  to  be  beaten 
before  his  face,  according  to 
his  fault,  by  a  certain  number. 

3  Forty  stripes  he  may  give 
him,  and  not  exceed:  lest,  if 
he  should  exceed,  and  beat  him 
above  these  with  many  stripes, 
then  thy  brother  should  seem 
vile  unto  thee. 

4  IThou  shalt  not  muzzle  the

and  one  of  them  die,  and  have 
no  child,  the  wife  of  the  dead 
shall  not  marry  without  unto  a 


stranger :  her  husband's  brother 
shall  go  in  unto  her,  and  take 
her  to  him  to  wife,  and  perform 
the  duty  of  an  husband's  brother 
unto  her. 

6  And  it  shall  be,  that  the  first- 
born which  she  beareth  shall 
succeed  in  the  name  of  his 
brother  which  is  dead,  that  his 
name  be  not  put  out  of  Ig'ra-el. 

7  And  if  the  man  like  not  to 
take  his  brother's  wife,  then  let 
his  brother's  wife  go  up  to  the 
gate  unto  the  elders,  and  say, 
My  husband's  brother  refnseth 
to  raise  up  unto  his  brother  a 
name  in  Ig'ra-el,  he  will  not  per- 
form the  duty  of  my  husband's 
brother. 

8  Then  the  elders  of  his  city 
shall  call  him,  and  speak  unto 
him :  and  if  he  stand  to  it,  and 
say,  I  like  not  to  take  her; 

9  Then  shall  his  brother's  wife 
come  unto  him  in  the  presence

from  off  his  foot,  and  spit  m  his 
face,  and  shall  answer  and  say, 
So  shall  it  be  done  unto  that 
man  that  will  not  build  up  his

14  Thou  shalt  not  have  in 
thine  house  divers  measures,  a 
great  and  a  small. 

15  But  thou  shalt  have  a  per- 
fect and  just  weight,  a  perfect 
and  just  measure  shalt  thou 
have:  that  thy  days  may  be 
lengthened  in  the  land  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee. 

16  For  all  that  do  such  things, 
and  all  that  do  unrighteously, 
are  an  abomination  unto  the 
Lord  thy  God. 

17  f  Remember  what  Am'a-lgk 
did  unto  thee  by  the  way, 
when  ye  were  come  forth  out 
of  E'gypt; 

18  How  he  met  thee  by  the 
way,  and  smote  the  hindmost 
of  thee,  even  all  that  were 
feeble  behind  thee,  when  thou 
wast  faint  and  weary ;  and  he 
feared  not  God. 

19  Therefore  it  shall  be,  when

CHAPTER  26 


The  confession  of  him  that  effereth 
the  basket  of  firstfruits.  12  The 
third  year's  tithes.  16  The  cove- 
nant between  God  and  the  %teopU. 

AND  it  shall  be,  when  thou 
art  come  in  unto  the  land 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giv- 
eth  thee  for  an  inheritance, 
and  possessest  it,  and  dwellest 
therein ; 

2  That  thou  shalt  take  of  the 
first  of  all  the  fruit  of  the 
earth,  which  thou  shalt  bring 
of  thy  land  that  the  Lord  thy 
God  giveth  thee,  and  shalt  put 
it  in  a  basket,  and  shalt  go  un- 
to the  place  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  shall  choose  to  place 
his  name  there. 

3  And  thou  shalt  go  unto  the 
priest  that  shall  be  in  those 
days,  and  say  unto  him,  I  pro- 
fess this  day  unto  the  Lord  thy 
God,  that  I  am  come  unto  the 
country  which  the  Lord  sware 
unto  our  fathers*  for  to  give 
us, 

4  And  the  priest  shall  take  the 
basket  out  of  thine  hand,  and 
set  it  down  before  the  altar  of 
the  Lord  thy  God. 

5  And  thou  shalt  speak  and 
say  before  the  Lord  thy  God, 
A  Syrl-an  ready  to  perish  was 
my  father,  and  he  went  down 
into  fi"gypt,  and  sojourned  there 
with  a  few,  and  became  there  a 
nation,  great,  mighty,  and  popu- 
lous: 

6  And  the  rt-gfp'tiana.  evil  en- 
treated us,  and  afflicted  us,  and 
laid  upon  us  hard  bondage : 

7  And  when  we  cried  unto  the 
Lord  God  of  our  fathers,  the 
Lord  heard  our  voice,  and 
looked  on  our  affliction,  and 
our  labour,  and  our  oppression : 

8  And  the  Lord  brought  us 
forth  out  of  Cgjpt  with  a 
mighty  hand,  and  with  an  out- 
stretched arm,  and  with  great 
terribleness,  and  with  signs, 
and  with  wonders: 

9  And  he  hath  brought  us  in- 
to thi9  place,  and  hath  given  us 
this  land,  even  a  land  that  flow- 
eth  with  milk  and  honey. 

10  And  now,  behold,  I  have 
brought  the  firstfruits  of  the 
land,  which  thou,  O  Lord,  hast 
given  me.    And  thou  shalt  set  it  spoken. 

209 


before  the  Lord  thy  God,  and 
worship  before  the  Lord  thy 
God: 

11  And  thou  shalt  rejoice  in 
every  good  thing  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  given  unto 
thee,  and  unto  thine  house, 
thou,  and  the  Le'vfte,  and  the 
stranger  that  is  among  you. 

12  HWhen  thou  hast  made  an 
end  of  tithing  all  the  tithes  of 
thine  increase  the  third  rear, 
which  is  the  year  of  tithing, 
and  hast  given  it  unto  the  Le'- 
vfte, the  stranger,  the  father- 
less, and  the  widow,  that  they 
may  eat  within  thy  gates,  and 
be  filled; 

13  Then  thou  shalt  say  be- 
fore the  Lord  thy  God,  I  have 
brought  away  the  hallowed 
things  out  of  mine  house,  and 
also  have  given  them  unto  the 
Le'vite,  and  unto  the  stranger, 
to  the  fatherless,  and  to  the 
widow,  according  to  all  thy 
commandments  which  thou 
hast  commanded  me:  I  have 
not  transgressed  thy  command- 
ments, neither  have  I  forgot- 
ten them: 

14  1  have  not  eaten  thereof  in 
my  mourning,  neither  have  I 
taken  away  ought  thereof  for 
any  unclean  use,  nor  given 
ought  thereof  for  the  dead :  but 
I  have  hearkened  to  the  voice 
of  the  Lord  my  God,  and  have 
done  according  to  all  that  thou 
hast  commanded  me. 

15  Look  down  from  thy  holy 
habitation,  from  heaven,  and 
bless  thy  people  Ig'ra-el,  and  the 
land  which  thou  hast  given  us, 
as  thou  swarest  unto  our  fa- 
thers, a  land  that  floweth  with 
milk  and  honey. 

16  ITThis  day  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath  commanded  fhee  to 
do  these  statutes  and  judgments: 
thou  shalt  therefore  keep  and 
do  them  with  all  thine  heart, 
and  with  all  thy  soul. 

17  Thou  hast  avouched  the 
Lord  this  day  to  be  thy  God, 
and  to  walk  in  his  ways,  and  to 
keep  his  statutes,  and  his  com- 
mandments, and  his  judgments, 
and  to  hearken  unto  his  voice : 

18  And  the  Lord  hath  avouch- 
ed thee  this  day  to  be  his  pecu- 
liar people,  as  he  hath  promised 
thee,  and  that  thou  shouldest 
keep  all  his  commandments; 

19  And  to  make  thee  high 
above  all  nations  which  he  hath 
made,  in  praise,  and  in  name, 
and  in  honour;  and  that  thou 
mayest  be  an  holy  people  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God,  as  he  hath

CHAPTER  27 

The  people  are  to  twite  the  law  upon 
stones,  and  to  build  an  altar  of 
whole  atones.  11  The  tribes  di~ 
vided  on  Gerizim  and  EbaL  14 
The  curses  pronounced  on  EbaL 

AND  Mo'ses.  with  the  elders 
of  Ig'ra-el  commanded  the 
people,  saying,  Keep  all  the  com- 
mandments which  I  command 
you  this  day. 

2  And  it  shall  he  -on  the  day 
when  ye  shall  pass  over  Jor/dan 
unto  the  land  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  giveth  thee,  that  thou 
shalt  set  thee  up  great  stones, 
and  plaister  them  with  plaister : 

3  And  thou  shalt  write  upon 
them  all  the  words  of  this  law, 
when  thou  art  passed  over,  that 
thou  raavest  go  in  unto  the  land 
which'  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee,  a  land  that  floweth  with 
milk  and  honey;  as  the  Lord 
God  of  thy  fathers  hath  prom- 
ised thee. 

4  Therefore  it  shall  he  when 
ye  be  gone  over  J6r/dan,  that  ye 
shall  set  up  these  stones,  which 
I  command  you  this  day,  in 
mount  Ebal,  and  thou  shalt 
plaister  them  with  plaister. 

5  And  there  shalt  thou  build 
an  altar  unto  the  Lord  thy  God, 
an  altar  of  stones:  thou  shalt 
not  lift  up  any  iron  tool  upon 
them. 

6  Thou  shalt  build  the  altar 
of  the  Lord  thy  God  of  whole 
stones:  and  thou  shalt  offer 
burnt  offerings  thereon  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God: 

7  And  thou  shalt  offer  peace 
offerings,  and  shalt  eat  there, 
and  rejoice  before  the  Lord 
thy  God. 

8  And  thou  shalt  write  upon 
the  stones  all  the  words  of  this 
law  very  plainly. 

9  ITAad  Mo'ses  and  the  priests 
the  Le'vites  spake  unto  all  Ig'- 
ra-el, saying,  Take  heed,  and 
hearken,  0  Is/ra-el;  this  day 
thou  art  become  the  people  of 
the  Lord  thy  God. 

10  Thou  shalt  therefore  obey 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God, 
and  do  his  commandments  and 
his  statutes,  which  I  command 
thee  this  day. 

11  ITAnd  Mo'ses  charged  the 
people  the  same  day,  saving, 

12  These  shall  stand  upon 
mount  GSrl-zlm  to  bless    the 

leople,  when  ye  are  come  over 
or  dan;   Sim'e-on,  and   Le'vi, 
and  Jfi'dah,  and  Is'sa-char,  and 
Jo'seph,  and  Ben'ja-min : 

13  And  these  shall  stand  upon 
mount  ETmiI  to  Curse ;  Reuben, 
G&d,  and  Ash'er,  and  ZeVu-lun, 
Dan,  and  Naph'ta-li. 


14  HAnd  the  Le'vites  shall 
speak,  and  say  unto  all  the 
men  of  Is'ra-el  with  a  loud 
voice, 

15  Cursed  be  the  man  that 
maketh  any  graven  or  molten 
image,  an  abomination  unto  the 
Lord,  the  work  of  the  hands  of 
the  craftsman,  and  putteth  it  in 
a  secret  place.  And  all  the 
people  shall  answer  and  say, 
A-men'. 

16  Cursed  be  he  that  setteth 
light  by  his  father  or  his  moth- 
er. And  all  the  people  shall 
say,  A-men'. 

17  Cursed  be  he  that  removeth 
his  neighbour's  landmark.  And 
all  the  people  shall  say,  A-meV. 

18  Cursed  be  he  that  maketh 
the  blind  to  wander  out  of  the 
way.  And  all  the  people  shall 
say,  A-mgn'. 

19  Cursed  be  he  that  pervert- 
eth  the  judgment  of  the  stran- 
ger, fatherless,  and  widow. 
And  all  the  people  shall  say, 
A-meji'. 

20  Cursed  be  he  that  lieth 
with  his  father's  wife ;  because 
he  uncovereth  his  father's  skirt. 
And  all  the  people  shall  say, 
A-mfcn'. 

21  Cursed  be  he  that  lieth 
with  any  manner  of  beast 
And  all  the  people  shall  say, 
A-men'. 

22  Cursed  be  he  that  lieth  with 
his  sister,  the  daughter  of  his 
father,  or  the  daughter  of  his 
mother.  And  all  the  people 
shall  say,  A-men'. 

23  Cursed  be  he  that  lieth 
with  his  mother  in  law.  And 
all  the  people  shall  say,  A-men'. 

24  Cursed  be  he  that  smiteth 
his  neighbour  secretly.  And 
all  the  people  shall  say,  A-mgn'. 

25  Cursed  be  he  that  taketh 
reward  to  slay  an  innocent  per- 
son. And  all  the  people  shall 
say,  A-mgn'. 

26  Cursed  be  he  that  confirm- 
eth  not  all  the  words  of  this 
law  to  do  them.  And  all  the 
people  shall  say,  A-mgn'.

The  blessings  for  obedience.    15  The 
curses  for  disobedience. 

AND  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
if  thou  shalt  hearken  dili- 
gently unto  the  voice  of  the 
Lord  thy  God,  to  observe  and 
to  do  all  his  commandments 
which  I  command  thee  this 
day,  that  the  Lord  thy  God 
will  set  thee  on  high  above  all

the  name  of  the  Lord  ;  and  they 
shall  be  afraid  of  thee. 

11  And  the  Lord  shall  make 
thee  plenteous  in  goods,  in  the 
fruit  of  thy  body,  and  in  the 
fruit  of  thy  cattle,  and  in  the 
fruit  of  thy  ground,  in  the  land 
which  the  Lord  sware  unto  thy 
fathers  to  give  thee. 

12  The  Lord  shall  open  unto 
thee  his  good  treasure,  the 
heaven  to  give  the  rain  unto 
thy  land  in  his  season,  and  to 
bless  all  the  work  of  thine 
hand:  and  thou  shalt  lend  un- 
to many  nations,  and  thou  shalt 
not  borrow. 

13  And  the  Lord  shall  make 
thee  the  head,  and  not  the  tail ; 
and  thou  shalt  be  above  only, 
and  thou  shalt  not  be  beneath ; 
if  that  thou  hearken  unto  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord 
thy  God,  which  I  command 
thee  this  day,  to  observe  and 
to  do  them: 

14  And  thou  shalt  not  go  aside 
from  any  of  the  words  which  I 
command  thee  this  day,  to  the 
right  hand,  or  to  the  left,  to  go 
after  other  gods  to  serve  them. 

15  HBut  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
if  thou  wilt  not  hearken  unto 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God, 


to  observe  to  do  all  his  com- 
mandments and  his  statutes 
which  I  command  thee  this  day; 
that  all  these  curses  shall  come 
upon  thee,  and  overtake  thee. 

16  Cursed  shalt  thou  be  in  the 
city,  and  cursed  shalt  thou  be 
in  the  field. 

17  Cursed  shall  be  thy  basket 
and  thy  store. 

18  Cursed  shall  be  the  fruit 
of  thy  body,  and  the  fruit  of 
thy  land,  the  increase  of  thy 
kine,  and  the  flocks  of  thy 
sheep. 

19  Cursed  shalt  thou  be  when 
thou  comest  in,  and  cursed 
shalt  thou  be  when  thou  goest 
out 

20  The  Lord  shall  send  upon 
thee  cursing,  vexation,  and  re- 
buke, in  all  that  thou  settest 
thine  hand  unto  for  to  do,  until 
thou  be  destroyed,  and  until 
thou  perish  quickly ;  because  of 
the  wickedness  of  thy  doings, 
whereby  thou  hast  forsaken  me. 

21  The  Lord  shall  make  the 
pestilence  cleave  unto  thee,  un 
til  he  have  consumed  thee  from 
off  the  land,  whither  thou  goest 
to  possess  it 

22  The  Lord  shall  smite  thee 
with  a  consumption,  and  with  a 
fever,  and  with  an  inflamma- 
tion, and  with  an  extreme  burn- 
ing, and  with  the  sword,  and 
with  blasting,  and  with  mildew . 
and  they  shall  pursue  thee  un- 
til thou  perish. 

23  And  thy  heaven  that  is 
over  thy  head  shall  be  brass, 
and  the  earth  that  is  under 
thee  shall  be  iron. 

24  The  Lord  shall  make  the 
rain  of  thy  land  powder  and 
dust :  from  heaven  shall  it  come 
down  upon  thee,  until  thou  be 
destroyed. 

25  The  Lord  shall  cause  thee 
to  be  smitten  before  thine  ene- 
mies: thou  shalt  go  out  one 
way  against  them,  and  flee  sev- 
en ways  before  them :  and  shalt 
be  removed  into  all  the  king- 
doms of  the  earth. 

26  And  thy  carcase  shall  be 
meat  unto  all  fowls  of  the  air, 
and  unto  the  beasts  of  the 
earth,  and  no  man  shall  fray 
them  away. 

27  The  Lord  will  smite  thee 
with  the  botch  of  E'gypt,  and 
with  the  emerods,  and  with  the 
scab,  and  with  the  itch,  where- 
of thou  canst  not  be  healed. 

28  The  Lord  shall  smite  thee 
with  madness,  and  blindness, 
and  astonishment  of  heart : 

29  And  thou  shalt  grope  at 
noonday,  as  the  blind  gropeth

in  darkness,  and  thou  shalt  not 
prosper  in  thy  ways :  and  thou 
shalt  he  only  oppressed  and 
spoiled  evermore,  and  no  man 
snail  save  thee. 

30  Thou  shalt  betroth  a  wife, 
and  another  man  shall  lie  with 
her:  thou  shalt  build  an  house, 
and  thou  shalt  not  dwell  there- 
in :  thou  shalt  plant  a  vineyard, 
and  shalt  not  gather  the  grapes 
thereof. 

31  Thine  ox  shall  be  slain  be- 
fore thine  eyes,  and  thou  shalt 
not  eat  thereof :  thine  ass  shall 
be  violently  taken  away  from 
before  thy  face,  and  shall  not 
be  restored  to  thee:  thy  sheep 
shall  be  given  unto  thine  ene- 
mies, and  thou  shalt  have  none 
to  rescue  them. 

32  Thy  sons  and  thy  daugh 
ters  shall  be  given  unto  an- 
other people,  and  thine  eyes 
shall  look,  and  fail  with  long- 
ing for  them  all  the  day  Ions;: 
and  there  shall  be  no  might  in 
thine  hand. 

33  The  fruit  of  thy  land,  and 
all  thy  labours,  shall  a  nation 
which  thou  knowest  not  eat  up ; 
and  thou  shalt  be  only  oppressed 
and  crushed  alway : 

34  So  that  thou  shalt  be  mad 
for  the  sight  of  thine  eyes 
which  thou  shalt  see. 

35  The  Lord  shall  smite  thee 
in  the  knees,  and  in  the  legs, 
with  a  sore  botch  that  cannot 
be  healed,  from  the  sole  of  thy 
foot  unto  the  top  of  thy  head. 

36  The  Lord  shall  bring  thee, 
and  thy  king  which  thou  shaft 
set  over  thee,  unto  a  nation 
which  neither  thou  nor  thy 
fathers  have  known ;  and  there 
shalt  thou  serve  other  gods, 
wood  and  stone. 

37  And  thou  shalt  become  an 
astonishment,  a  proverb,  and 
a  byword,  among  all  nations 
whither  the  Lord  shall  lead 
thee. 

38  Thou  shalt  carry  much  seed 
out  into  the  field,  and  shalt 
gather  but  little  in;  for  the 
locust  shall  consume  it 

39  Thou  shalt  plant  vineyards, 
and  dress  them,  but  shalt  nei- 
ther drink  of  the  wine,  nor 
gather  the  grapes;  for  the 
worms  shall  eat  them. 

40  Thou  shalt  have  olive  trees 
throughout  all  thy  coasts,  but 
thou  shalt  not  anoint  thyself 
with  the  oil;  for  thine  olive 
shall  cast  his  fruit. 

41  Thou  shalt  beget  sons  and 
daughters,  but  thou  shalt  not 
enjoy  them;  for  they  shall  go 
into  captivity. 


42  All  thy  trees  and  fruit  of 
thy  land  shall  the  locust  con- 
sume. 

43  The  stranger  that  is  within 
thee  shall  get  up  above  thee 
very  high;  and  thou  shalt  come 
down  very  low. 

44  He  shall  lend  to  thee,  and 
thou  shalt  not  lend  to  him:  he 
shall  be  the  head,  and  thou  shalt 
be  the  taiL 

45  Moreover  all  these  curses 
shall  come  upon  thee,  and  shall 
pursue  thee,  and  overtake  thee, 
till  thou  be  destroyed;  because 
thou  hearkenedst  not  unto  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God,  to 
keep  his  commandments  and 
his  statutes  which  he  com- 
manded thee: 

46  And  they  shall  be  upon  thee 
for  a  sign  and  for  a  wonder,  and 
upon  thy  seed  for  ever. 

47  Because  thou  servedst  not 
the  Lord  thy  God  with  joyful- 
ness,  and  with  gladness  of 
heart,  for  the  abundance  of  all 
things ; 

48  Therefore  shalt  thou  serve 
thine  enemies  which  the  Lord 
shall  send  against  thee,  in  hun- 
ger, and  in  thirst,  and  in  naked- 
ness, and  in  want  of  all  thinps : 
and  he  shall  put  a  yoke  of  iron 
upon  thy  neck,  until  he  have 
destroyed  thee. 

49  The  Lord  shall  bring  a  na- 
tion against  thee  from  far,  from 
the  end  of  the  earth,  as  swift 
as  the  eagle  flieth;  a  nation 
whose  tongue  thou  shalt  not 
understand; 

50  A  nation  of  fierce  counte* 
nance,  which  shall  not  regard 
the  person  of  the  old,  nor  shew 
favour  to  the  young : 

51  And  he  shall  eat  the  fruit 
of  thy  cattle,  and  the  fruit  of 
thy  land,  until  thou  be  de- 
stroyed :  which  also  shall  not 
leave  thee  either  com,  wine,  or 
oil,  or  the  increase  of  thy  kine, 
or  flocks  of  thy  sheep,  until  he 
have  destroyeithee. 

52  And  he  shall  besiege  thee 
in  all  thy  gates,  until  thy  high 
and  fenced  walls  come  down, 
wherein  thou  trustedst,  through- 
out all  thy  land:  and  he  shall 
besiege*  thee  in  all  thy  gates 
throughout  all  thy  land,  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  given 
thee. 

53  And  thou  shalt  eat  the  fruit 
of  thine  own  body,  the  flesh  of 
thy  sons  and  of  thy  daughters, 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
given  thee,  in  the  siege,  and  in 
the  straitness,  wherewith  thine 
enemies  shall  distress  thee :

tender  among  you,  and  very 
delicate,  his  eye  shall  be  evil 
toward  his  brother,  and  toward 
the  wife  of  his  bosom,  and  to- 
ward the  remnant  of  his  chil- 
dren which  he  shall  leave : 

55  So  that  he  will  not  give  to 
any  of  them  of  the  flesh  of  his 
children  whom  he  shall  eat :  be- 
cause he  hath  nothing  left  him 
in  the  siege,  and  in  the  strait- 
ness,  wherewith  thine  enemies 
shall  distress  thee  in  all  thy 
gates. 

56  The  tender  and  delicate 
woman  among  you,  which  would 
not  adventure  to  set  the  sole  of 
her  foot  upon  the  ground  for 
delicateness  and  tenderness,  her 
eye  shall  be  evil  toward  the 
husband  of  her  bosom,  and  to- 
ward her  son,  and  toward  her 
daughter, 

57  And  toward  her  young  one 
that  cometh  out  from  between 
her  feet,  and  toward  her  chil- 
dren which  she  shall  bear:  for 
she  shall  eat  them  for  want  of 
all  things  secretly  in  the  siege 
and  straitness,  wherewith  thine 
enemy  shall  distress  thee  in  thy 
gates. 

58  If  thou  wilt  not  observe  to 
do  all  the  words  of  this  law  that 
are  written  in  this  book,  that 
thou  mayest  fear  this  glorious 
and  fearful  name,  THE  LORD 
THY  GOD; 

59  Then  the  Lord  will  make 
thy  plagues  wonderful,  and  the 
plagues  of  thy  seed,  even  great 
plagues,  and  of  long  continu- 
ance, and  sore  sicknesses,  and 
of  long  continuance. 

60  Moreover  he  will  bring 
upon  thee  all  the  diseases  of 
&"gypt,  which  thou  wast  afraid 
of;  and  they  shall  cleave  unto 
thee. 

61  Also  every  sickness,  and 
every  plague,  which  is  not 
written  in  the  book  of  this  law, 
them  will  the  Lord  bring  upon 
thee,  until  thou  be  destroyed. 

62  And  ye  shall  be  left  few 
in  number,  whereas  ye  were  as 
the  stars  of  heaven  for  multi- 
tude; because  thou  wouldest 
not  obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord 
thy  God. 

63  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  as  the  Lord  rejoiced  over 
you  to  do  you  good,  and  to  mul- 
tiply you;  so  the  Lord  will  re- 
joice over  you  to  destroy  you, 
and  to  bring  you  to  nought; 
and  ye  shall  be  plucked  from 
off  the  land  whither  thou  goest 
to  possess  it. 

64  And  the  Lord  shall  scatter 
thee   among   all  people,  from 


the  one  end  of  the  earth  even 
unto  the  other;  and  there  thou 
shalt  serve  other  gods,  which 
neither  thou  nor  thy  fathers 
have  known,  even  wood  and 
stone. 

65  And  among  these  nations 
shalt  thou  find  no  ease,  neither 
shall  the  sole  of  thy  foot  have 
rest:  but  the  Lord  shall  give 
thee  there  a  trembling  heart, 
and  failing  of  eyes,  and  sorrow 
of  mind: 

66  And  thy  life  shall  hang  in 
doubt  before  thee;  and  thou 
shalt  fear  day  and  night,  and 
shalt  have  none  assurance  of 
thy  life: 

67  In  the  morning  thou  shalt 
say,  Would  God  it  were  even ! 
and  at  even  thou  shalt  say, 
Would  God  it  were  morning! 
for  the  fear  of  thine  heart 
wherewith  thou  shalt  fear,  and 
for  the  sight  of  thine  eyes  which 
thou  shalt  see. 

68  And  the  Lord  shall  bring 
thee  into  E'fcftrt  again  with 
ships,  by  the  way  whereof  I 
spake  unto  thee,  Thou  shalt  see 
it  no  more  again :  and  there  ve 
shall  be  sold  unto  your  enemies 
for  bondmen  and  bondwomen, 
and  no  man  shall  buy  you. 

CHAPTER  29 
An  exhortation  to  obedience.  10  The 
people  are  all  presented  before  the 
Lard  to  enter  into  hie  covenant.

THESE  are  the  words  of  the 
covenant,  which  the  Lord 
commanded  MS'ses.  to  make 
with  the  children  of  If'ra-el  in 
the  land  of  Mfi'ab,  beside  the 
covenant  which  he  made  with 
them  in  Hd'reb. 

2  ITAnd  MS'ses.  called  unto  all 
Ia#ra«el,  and  said  unto  them,  Ye 
have  seen  all  that  the  Lord  did 
before  your  eyes  in  the  land  of 
E'&fpt  unto  Pha'raoh,  and  unto 
all  his  servants,  and  unto  all  his 
land; 

3  The  great  temptations  which 
thine  eyes  have  seen*  the  signs, 
and  those  great  miracles: 

4  Yet  the  Lord  hath  not  given 
you  an  heart  to  perceive,  and 
eyes  to  see,  and  ears  to  hear, 
unto  this  day. 

5  And  I  have  led  you  forty 
years  in  the  wilderness:  your 
clothes  are  not  waxen  old  upon 
you,  and  thy  shoe  is  not  waxen 
old  upon  thy  foot 

6  Ye  have  not  eaten  bread, 
neither  have  ye  drunk  wine  or 
strong  drink:  that  ye  might 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord  your 
God.

place,  SiTidn  the  king  of  Hesh'- 
bdn,  and  Og  the  king  of  Ba' 
sh2n,  came  out  against  us  unto 
battle,  and  we  smote  them : 

8  And  we  took  their  land,  and 
gave  it  for  an  inheritance  un- 
to the  Reu'hen-ites,  and  to  the 
G&d'ites,  and  to  the  half  tribe 
of  Mfi-nas'seh. 

9  Keep  therefore  the  words  of 
this  covenant,  and  do  them,  that 
ye  may  prosper  in  all  that  ye  do. 

10  HYe  stand  this  day  all  of 
you  before  the  Lord  your  God-; 
your  captains  of  your  tribes, 
your  elders,  and  your  officers, 
with  all  the  men  of  Is/ra-el, 

11  Your  little  ones,  your  wives, 
and  thy  stranger  that  is  in  thy 
camp,  from  the  hewer  of  thy 
wood  unto  the  drawer  of  thy 
water: 

12  That  thou  shouldest  enter 
into  covenant  with  the  Lord 
thy  God,  and  into  his  oath, 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  mat 
eth  with  thee  this  day : 

13  That  he  may  establish  thee 
to  day  for  a  people  unto  him- 
self, and  that  he  may  be  unto 
thee  a  God,  as  he  hath  said  unto 
thee,  and  as  he  hath  sworn  unto 
thy  fathers,  to  At>r&-hlm,  to 
r§aac,and  to  Ja'cob. 

14  Neither  with  you  only  do  I 
make  this  covenant  and  this 
oath; 

15  But  with  him  that  stand- 
eth  here  with  us  this  day  be- 
fore the  Lord  our  God,  and  also 
with  him  that  is  not  here  with 
us  this  day: 

16  (For  ye  know  how  we  have 
dwelt  in  the  land  of  ffgypt ;  and 
how  we  came  through  the  na- 
tions which  ye  passed  by ; 

17  And  ye  have  seen  their 
abominations,  and  their  idols, 
wood  and  stone,  silver  and  gold, 
which  were  among  them :) 

18  Lest  there  should  >e  among 
you  man,  or  woman,  or  family, 
or  tribe,  whose  heart  turneth 
away  this  day  from  the  Lord 
our  God,  to  go  and  serve  the 
gods  of  these  nations;  lest 
there  should  be  among  you  a 
root  that  beareth  gall  and  worm- 
wood;  • 

19  And  it  come  to  pass,  when 
he  heareth  the  words  of  this 
curse,  that  he  bless  himself  in 
his  heart,  saying,  I  shall  have 
peace,  though  I  walk  in  the  im- 
agination of  mine  heart,  to  add 
drunkenness  to  thirst : 

20  The  Lord  will  not  spare 
him,  but  then  the  anger  of  the 
Lord  and  his  jealousy  shall 
smoke  against  that  man,  and 
all  the  curses  that  are  written 


in  this  book  shall  lie  upon  him, 
and  the  Lord  shall  blot  out  his 
name  from  under  heaven. 

21  And  the  Lord  shall  sepa- 
rate him  unto  evil  out  of  all  the 
tribes  of  ls'ra-el,  according  to 
all  the  curses  of  the  covenant 
that  are  written  in  this  book  of 
the  law : 

22  So  that  the  generation  to 
come  of  your  children  that  shall 
rise  up  after  you,  and  the  stran- 
ger that  shall  come  from  a  far 
land,  shall  say,  when  they  see 
the  plagues  of  that  land,  and 
the  sicknesses  which  the  Lord 
hath  laid  upon  it ; 

23  And  that  the  whole  land 
thereof  is  brimstone,  and  salt, 
and  burning,  that  it  is  not 
sown,  nor  beareth,  nor  any 
grass  groweth  therein,  like  the 
overthrow  of  S5d'om,  and  Gd- 
mdr'rah,  Ad'mah,  and  Ze-b5'im, 
which  the  Lord  overthrew  in 
his  anger,  and  in  his  wrath : 

24  Even  all  nations  shall  say, 
Wherefore  hath  the  Lord  done 
thus  unto  this  land?  what 
meaneth  the  heat  of  this  great 
anger? 

25  Then  men  shall  say,  Be- 
cause they  have  forsaken  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord  God  of 
their  fathers,  which  he  made 
with  them  when  he  brought 
them  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
E-fcypt: 

6  For  they  went  and  served 
other  gods,  and  worshipped 
them,  gods  whom  they  knew 
not,  and  whom  he  had  not 
given  unto  them: 

27  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  this  land, 
to  bring  upon  it  all  the  curses 
that  are  written  in  this  book: 

28  And  the  Lord  rooted  them 
out  of  their  land  in  anger,  and 
in  wrath,  and  in  great  indigna- 
tion, and  cast  them  into  another 
land,  as  it  is  this  day. 

29  The  secret  things  belong 
unto  the  Lord  our  God:  but 
those  things  which  are  re- 
vealed belong  unto  us  and  to 
our  children  for  ever,  that  we 
may  do  all  the  words  of  this 
law.

2  And  shalt  return  unto  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  shalt  obey 
his  voice  according  to  all  that 
I  command  thee  this  day,  thou 
and  thy  children,  with  all  thine 
heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul; 

3  That  then  the  Lord  thy  God 
will  turn  thy  captivity,  and  have 
compassion  upon  thee,  and  will 
return  and  gather  thee  from  all 
the  nations,  whither  the  Lord 
thy  God  hath  scattered  thee. 

4  If  any  of  thine  be  driven 
out  unto  the  outmost  parts  of 
heaven,  from  thence  will  the 
Lord  thy  God  gather  thee,  and 
from  thence  will  he  fetch  thee : 

5  And  the  Lord  thy  God  will 
bring  thee  into  the  land  which 
thy  fathers  possessed,  and  thou 
shalt  possess  it;  and  he  will  do 
thee  good,  and  multiply  thee 
above  thy  fathers. 

6  And  the  Lord  thy  God  will 
circumcise  thine  heart,  and  the 
heart  of  thy  seed,  to  love  the 
Lord  thy  God  with  all  thine 
heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul, 
that  thou  mayest  live. 

7  And  the  Lord  thy  God  will 
put  all  these  curses  upon  thine 
enemies,  and  on  them  that  hate 
thee,  which  persecuted  thee. 

8  And  thou  shalt  return  and 
obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord, 
and  do  all  his  commandments 
which  I  command  thee  this 
day. 

9  And  the  Lord  thy  God  will 
make  thee  plenteous  in  every 
work  of  thine  hand,  in  the  fruit 
of  thy  body,  and  in  the  fruit  of 
thy  cattle,  and  in  the  fruit  of 
thy  land,  for  good:  for  the 
Lord  will  again  rejoice  over 
thee  for  good,  as  he  rejoiced 
over  thy  fathers: 

10  If  thou  shalt  hearken  unto 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God, 
to  keep  his  commandments  and 
his  statutes  which  are  written 
in  this  book  of  the  law,  and  if 
thou  turn  unto  the  Lord  thy 
God  with  all  thine  heart,  and 
with  all  thy  soul. 

11  IT  For  this  commandment 
which  I  command  thee  this 
day,  it  is  not  hidden  from 
thee,  neither  is  it  far  off. 

12  It  is  not  in  heaven,  that 
thou  shouldest  say,  Who  shall 
go  up  for  us  to  heaven,  and 
bring  it  unto  us,  that  we  may 
hear  it,  and  doit? 

13  Neither  is  it  beyond  the 
sea,  that  thou  shouldest  say, 
Who  shall  go  over  the  sea  for 
us,  and  bring  it  unto  us,  that 
we  may  hear  it,  and  do  it? 

14  But  the  word  is  very  nigh 
unto' thee,  in  thy  mouth,  and  in 


thy  heart,  that  thou  mayest  doit. 

15  USee,  I  have  set  before  thee 
this  day  life  and  good,  and  death 
and  evil ; 

16  In  that  I  command  thee  this 
day  to  love  the  Lord  thy  God, 
to  walk  in  his  ways,  and  to  keep 
his  commandments  and  his  stat- 
utes and  his  judgments,  that 
thou  mayest  live  and  multiply : 
and  the  Lord  thy  God  shall 
bless  thee  in  the  land  whither 
thou  goest  to  possess  it 

17  But  if  thine  heart  turn  away, 
so  that  thou  wilt  not  hear,  but 
shalt  be  drawn  away,  and  wor- 
ship other  gods,  and  serve  them; 

18  I  denounce  unto  you  this 
day,  that  ye  shall  surely  perish, 
and  that  ye  shall  not  prolong 
your  days  upon  the  land,  whith- 
er thou  passest  over  JSr'dan  to 
go  to  possess  it 

19  I  call  heaven  and  earth  to 
record  this  day  against  you, 
that  I  have  set  before  you  life 
and  death,  blessing  and  cursing : 
therefore  choose  life,  that  both 
thou  and  thy  seed  may  live: 

20  That  thou  mayest  love  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  that  thou 
mayest  obey  his  voice,  and  that 
thou  mayest  cleave  unto  him : 
for  he  is  thy  life,  and  the  length 
of  thy  days:  that  thou  mayest 
dwell  in  the  land  which  the  Lord 
sware  unto  thy  fathers,  to  Abra- 
ham, to  I'saac,  and  to  Ja'cob,  to 
give  them.

them :  and  Jflsh'u-a,  he  snail  go

them  as  he  did  to  Sllidn  and  to 
Og,  kings  of  the  Am'dr-ites,  and 
unto  the  land  of  them,  whom 
he  destroyed. 

5  And  the  Lord  shall  give  them 
up  before  your  face,  that  ye  may 
do  unto  them  according  unto 
all  the  commandments  which  I 
have  commanded  you.

9  IFAnd  Mo'sea  wrote  this  law, 
and  delivered  it  unto  the  priests 
the  sons  of  Le'vi,  which  bare  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord, 
and  unto  all  the  elders  of  Ig'ra-el. 

10  And  Mo'sea  commanded

nity of  the*  year  of  release,  in

and  that  they  may  learn,  and

fear  the  Lord  your  God,  as  long 
as  ye  live  in  the  land  whither 
ye  go  over  Jordan  to  possess  it 

14  HAnd  the  Lord  said  unto 
M5'seg,  Behold,  thy  days  ap- 

5 roach  that  thou  must  die:  call 
5sh'u-a,  and  present  yourselves 
in  the  tabernacle  of  the  congre-

went,  and  presented  themselves 
in  the  tabernacle  of  the  congre-

cloud:  and  the  pillar  of  the 
cloud  stood  over  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle. 

16  HAnd  the  Lord  said  unto 
Md'seg,  Behold,  thou  shalt  sleep 
with  thy  fathers;  and  this  peo- 
ple will  rise  up,  and  go  a  whor- 
ing after  the  gods  of  the  stran- 
gers of  the  land,  whither  they 
go  to  be  among  them,  and  will 


L    _ 


forsake  me,  and  break  my  cove- 
nant which  I  have  made  with 
them. 

17  Then  my  anger  shall  be 
kindled  against  them  in  that 
day,  and  I  will  forsake  them,  and 
I  will  hide  my  face  from  them, 
and  they  shall  be  devoured,  and 
many  evils  and  troubles  shall 
befall  them;  so  that  they  will 
say  in  that  day,  Are  not  these 
evils  come  upon  us,  because  our 
God  is  not  among  us  ? 

18  And  I  will  surely  hide  my 
face  in  that  day  for  all  the  evils 
which  they  shall  have  wrought 
in  that  they  are  turned  unto 
other  gods. 

19  Now  therefore  write  ye  this 
song  for  you,  and  teach  it  the 
children  of  Ig'ra-el:  put  it  in 
their  mouths,  that  this  song 
may  be  a  witness  for  me 
against  the  children  of  ls/ra-el. 

20  For  when  I  shall  have 
brought  them  into  the  land 
which  I  sware  unto  their  fa- 
thers, that  floweth  with  milk 
and  honey ;  and  they  shall  have 
eaten  and  filled  themselves,  and 
waxen  fat ;  then  will  they  turn 
unto  other  gods,  and  serve  them, 
and  provoke  me,  and  break  my 
covenant 

21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  many  evils  and  troubles 
are  befallen  them,  that  this  song 
shall  testify  against  them  as  a 
witness;  for  it  shall  not  be  for- 
gotten out  of  the  mouths  of 
their  seed:  for  I  know  their 
imagination  which  they  go 
about  even  now,  before  I  have 
brought  them  into  the  land 
which  I  sware. 

22  Mo'seg  therefore  wrote  this 
song  the  same  day,  and  taught 
it  the  children  of  la'ra-el. 

23  And  he  gave  Jdsh'u-a  the 
son  of  Nun  a  charge,  and  said. 
Be  strong  and  of  a  good  cour- 
age: for  thou  shalt  bring  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  into  the  land 
which  I  sware  unto  them :  and 
I  will  be  with  thee. 

24  f  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Md'gea  had  made  an  end  of  writ- 
ing the  words  of  this  law  in  a 
book,  until  they  were  finished, 

25  That  M5'aea  commanded 
the  Le'vites,  which  bare  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord,  saying, 

26  Take  this  book  of  the  law, 
and  put  it  in  the  side  of  the  ark 
of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord 
your  God,  that  it  may  be  there 
for  a  witness  against  thee. 

27  For  I  know  thy  rebellion, 
and  thy  stiff  neck:  behold, 
while  I  am  yet  alive  with  you

this  day,  ye  have  heen  rebel 
Hous  against  the  Lord  ;  and  how 
much  more  after  my  death? 

28  Gather  unto  me  all  the  eld- 
ers of  your  tribes,  and  your  offi- 
cers, that  I  may  speak  these 
words  m  their  ears,  and  call 
heaven  and  earth  to  record 
against  them. 

29  For  I  know  that  after  my 
death  ye  will  utterly  corrupt 
yourselves,  and  turn  aside  from 
the  way  which  I  have  com- 
manded you ;  and  evil  will  be- 
fall you  in  the  latter  days;  be- 
cause ye  will  do  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  to  provoke 
him  to  anger  through  the  work 
of  your  hands. 

30  And  MS'ses  spake  in  the 
ears  of  all  the  congregation  of 
Is/ra-el  the  words  of  this  song, 
until  they  were  ended. 

CHAPTER  52 

Hose**  song,  which  arts  forth  the  per- 
fection* of  God:  44  the  people  ex- 
horted to  Bet  their  hearts  upon  it. 
48  God  Bends  him  up  to  mount 
Nebo,  to  see  the  land,  and  die. 

GIVE  ear,  O  ye  heavens,  and 
I  win  speak;  and  hear,  O 
earth,  the  words  of  my  mouth. 

2  My  doctrine  shall  drop  as  the 
rain,  my  speech  shall  distil  as 
the  dew,  as  the  small  rain  upon 
the  tender  herb,  and  as  the 
showers  upon  the  grass: 

3  Because  I  will  publish  the 
name  of  the  Lord:  ascribe  ye 
greatness  unto  our  God. 

4  He  is  the  Rock,  his  work  is 
perfect:  for  all  his  ways  are 
judgment:  a  God  of  truth  and 
without  iniquity,  just  and  right 
is  he. 

5  They  have  corrupted  them- 
selves, their  spot  is  not  the  spot 
of  his  children :  they  are  a  per- 
verse and  crooked  generation. 

6  Do  ye  thus  requite  the  Lord, 

0  foolish  people  and  unwise? 
is  not  he  Ay  father  that  hath 
bought  thee  ?  hath  he  not  made 
thee,  and  established  thee? 

7  Remember  the  days  of  old, 
consider  the  years  of  many  gen- 
erations :  ask  thy  father,  and  he 
will  shew  thee;  thy  elders,  and 
they  will  tell  thee. 

8  When  the  Most  High  divided 
to  the  nations  their  inheritance, 
when  he  separated  the  sons  of 
Ad'am,  he  set  the  bounds  of  the 
people  according  to  the  number 
of  the  children  of  Is/ra-el. 

9  For  the  Lord's  portion  is 
his  people;  Jfi'cob  is  the  lot  of 
his  inheritance. 

10  He  found  him  in  a  desert 
land,  and  in  the  waste  howling 

1  wilderness;  he  led  him  about 


he  instructed  him,  he  kept  him 
as  the  apple  of  his  eye. 

11  As  an  eagle  stirreth  up  her 
nest,  fluttereth  over  her  young, 
spreadeth  abroad  her  wings, 
taketh  them,  beareth  them  on 
her  wings: 

12  So  the  Lord  alone  did  lead 
him,  and  there  was  no  strange 
god  with  him. 

13  He  made  him  ride  on  the 
high  places  of  the  earth,  that 
he  might  eat  the  increase  of 
the  fields ;  and  he  made  him  to 
suck  honey  out  of  the  rock,  and 
oil  out  of  the  flinty  rock ; 

14  Butter  of  kine,  and  milk  of 
sheep,  with  fat  of  lambs,  and 
rams  of  the  breed  of  Bl'shan, 
and  goats,  with  the  fat  of  kid- 
neys of  wheat ;  and  thou  didst 
drink  the  pure  blood  of  the 
grape. 

15  But  Jeah'u-rfin  waxed  fat, 
and  kicked:  thou  art  waxen 
fat,  thou  art  grown  thick,  thou 
art  covered  with  fatness  ;  then 
he  forsook  God  which  made 
him,  and  lightly  esteemed  the 
Rock  of  his  salvation. 

16  They  provoked  him  to  jeal- 
ousy with  strange  gods,  with 
abominations  provoked  they 
him  to  anger. 

17  They  sacrificed  unto  devils, 
not  to  God ;  to  gods  whom  they 
knew  not,  to  new  gods  that 
came  newly  up,  whom  your 
fathers  feared  not 

18  Of  the  Rock  that  begat 
thee  thou  art  unmindful,  and 
hast  forgotten  God  that  formed 
thee. 

19  And  when  the  Lord 
it,  he  abhorred  them,  because 
of  the  provoking  of  his  sons, 
and  of  his  daughters: 

20  And  he  said,  I  will  hide  my 
face  from  them,  I  will  see  what 
their  end  shall  be:  for  they 
are  a  very  froward  generation, 
children  in  whom  is  no  faith. 

21  They  have  moved  me  to 
jealousy  with  that  which  is 
not  God;  they  have  provoked 
me  to  anger  with  their  vanities : 
and  I  will  move  them  to  jeal- 
ousy with  those  which  are  not 
a  people ;  I  will  provoke  them 
to  anger  with  a  foolish  nation. 

22  For  a  fire  is  kindled  in 
mine  anger,  and  shall  burn  un- 
to the  lowest  hell,  and  shall 
consume  the  earth  with  her  in- 
crease, and  set  on  fire  the 
foundations  of  the  mountains. 

23  I  will  heap  mischiefs  upon 
them;  I  will  spend  mine  arrows 
upon  them. 

24  They  shall  be  burnt  with 
hunger,    and    devoured    with

burning  heat,  and  with  bitter 
destruction:  I  will  also  send 
the  teeth  of  beasts  upon  them, 
with  the  poison  of  serpents  of 
the  dust 

25  The  sword  without,  and 
terror  within,  shall  destroy  both 
the  young  man  and  the  virgin, 
the  suckling  also  with  the  man 
of  gray  hairs. 

26  I  said,  I  would  scatter  them 
into  corners,  I  would  make  the 
remembrance  of  them  to  cease 
from  among  men : 

27  Were  it  not  that  I  feared 
the  wrath  of  the  enemy,  lest 
their  adversaries  should  behave 
themselves  strangely,  and  lest 
they  should  say.  Our  hand  is 
high,  and  the  Lord  hath  not 
done  all  this. 

28  For  they  are  a  nation  void 
of  counsel,  neither  is  there  any 
understanding  in  them. 

29  O  that  they  were  wise,  that 
they  understood  this,  that  they 
would  consider  their  latter  end ! 

30  How  should  one  chase  a 
thousand,  and  two  put  ten  thou- 
sand to  flight,  except  their  Rock 
had  sold  them,  and  the  Lord 
had  shut  them  up? 

31  For  their  rock  is  not  as 
our  Rock,  even  our  enemies 
themselves  being  judges. 

32  For  their  vine  is  of  the 
vine  of  S&d'om,  and  of  the  fields 
of  Go-mdr'rah :  their  grapes  are 
grapes  of  gall,  their  clusters 
are  bitter: 

33  Their  wine  is  the  poison 
of  dragons,  and  the  cruel  venom 
of  asps. 

34  is  not  this  laid  up  in  store 
with  me,  and  sealed  up  among 
my  treasures? 

35  To  me  .belongeth  venge- 
ance, and  recompence;  their 
foot  shall  slide  in  due  time :  for 
the  day  of  their  calamity  is  at 
hand,  and  the  things  that  shall 
come  upon  them  make  haste. 

36  For  the  Lord  shall  ju<~ 
his  people,  and  repent  hims< 
for  his  servants,  when  he  seeth 
that  their  power  is  gone,  and 
there  is  none  shut  up,  or  left. 

37  And  he  shall  say,  Where 
are  their  gods,  their  rock  in 
whom  they  trusted, 

38  Which  did  eat  the  fat  of 
their  sacrifices,  and  drank  the 
wine  of  their  drink  offerings? 
let  them  rise  up  and  help  you, 
and  be  your  protection. 

39  See  now  that  I,  even  L  am 
he,  and  there  is  no  god  with 
me :  I  kill,  and  I  make  alive ;  I 
wound,  and  I  heal:  neither  is 
there  any  that  can  deliver  out 
of  my  hand. 


40  For  I  lift  up  my  hand  to 
heaven,  and  say,  I  live  for  ever. 

41  If  I  whet  my  glittering 
sword,  and  mine  hand  take 
hold  on  judgment;  I  will  ren- 
der vengeance  to  mine  ene- 
mies, and  will  reward  them 
that  hate  me. 

42  I  will  make  mine  arrows 
drunk  with  blood,  and  my 
sword  shall  devour  flesh ;  and 
that  with  the  blood  of  the  slain 
and  of  the  captives,  from  the  be- 
ginning of  revenges  upon  the 
enemy. 

43  Rejoice,  0  ye  nations*  h&£^ 
his  people :  for  he  will  avenge 
the  Wood  of  his  servants,  and 
will  render  vengeance  to  his  ad- 
versaries, and  will  be  merciful 
unto  his  land,  and  to  his  people. 

44  IT  And  Md'seg  came  and 
spake  all  the  words  of  this  song 
in  the  ears  of  the  people,  he, 
and  Hd*she"4  the  son  of  NQn. 

45  And  Md'seg  made  an  end  of 
speaking  all  these  words  to  all 
la'ra-el : 

46  And  he  said  unto  them.  Set 
your  hearts  unto  all  the  words 
which  I  testify  among  you  this 
day,  which  ye  shall  command 
your  children  to  observe  to  do, 
all  the  words  of  this  law. 

47  For  it  is  not  a  vain  thing 
for  you ;  because  it  is  your  life 
and  through  this  thing  ve  shall 
prolong  your  days  in  the  land, 
whither  ye  go  over  JSr'dan  to 
possess  it. 

48  f  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Md'seg  that  selfsame  day,  saying, 

49  Get  thee  up  into  this  moun- 
tain Aba-rim,  unto  mount  Ne'- 
bd,  which  is  in  the  land  of  Mo'- 
ab,  that  is  over  against  Jerl- 
ch6;  and  behold  the  land  of 
Ca'nfian,  which  I  give  unto  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el  for  a  posses- 
sion: 

50  And  die  in  the  mount 
whither  thou  goest  up,  and  be 

athered  unto  thy  people;  as 
ar'on    thy    brother    died   in 

mount  Hor,  and  was  gathered 

unto  his  people: 

51  Because  ye  trespassed 
against  me  among  the  chil- 
dren of  la'ra-el  at  the  waters 
of  Mtrl-bah-Ka'desh,  in  the 
wilderness  of  Zin;  because  ye 
sanctified  me  not  in  the  midst 
of  the  children  of  Is/ra-el. 

52  Yet  thou  shalt  see  the  land 
before  thee ;  but  thou  shalt  not 

fo  thither  unto  the  land  which 
give  the  children  of  Is/ra-el.

AND  this  is  the  blessing, 
wherewith  Md'seg  the  man 
of  God  blessed  the  children  of 
Ig'ra-el  before  his  death. 

2  And  he  said,  The  Lord  came 
from  Si'n&i,  and  rose  up  from 
Selr  unto  them;  »he  shined 
forth  from  mount  P&'ran,  and 
he  came  with  ten  thousands 
of  saints:  from  his  right  hand 
went  a  fiery  law  for  them. 

3  Yea,  he  loved  the  people; 
all  his  saints  are  in  thy  hand : 
and  they  sat  down  at  thy  feet; 
every  one  shall  receive  of  thy 
words. 

4  Md'seg  commanded  us  a  law, 
even  the  inheritance  of  the  con- 
gregation of  Ja'cob. 

5  And  he  was  king  in  Jesh'u- 
rfin,  when  the  heads  of  the  peo- 
ple and  the  tribes  of  Ig'ra-el 
were  gathered  together. 

6  IT  Let  Ren/ben  live,  and  not 
die;  and  let  not  his  men  be 
few. 

7  1T  And  this  is  the  blessing 
of  Ju'dah:  and  he  said,  Hear, 
Lord,  the  voice  of  Ju'dah,  and 
bring  him  unto  his  people :  let 
his  hands  be  sufficient  for  him ; 
and  be  thou  an  help  to  him 
from  his  enemies. 

8  IT  And  of  Le'vi  he  said,  Let 
thy  Thum'mim  and  thy  O'rim 
be  with  thy  holy  one,  whom 
thou  didst  prove  at  Mfis'sah, 
and  with  whom  thou  didst 
strive  at  the  waters  of  MeYi 
bah; 

9  Who  said  unto  his  father 
and  to  his  mother,  I  have  not 
seen  him;  neither  did  he  ac- 
knowledge his  brethren,  nor 
knew  his  own  children :  for 
they  nave  observed  thy  word, 
and  kept  thy  covenant. 

10  They  shall  teach  Ja'cob  thy 
judgments,  and  Ig'ra-el  thy  law : 
they  shall  put  incense  before 
thee,  and  whole  burnt  sacrifice 
upon  thine  altar. 

11  Bless,  Lord,  his  substance, 
and  accept  the  work  of  his 
hands:  smite  through  the  loins 
of  them  that  rise  against  him, 
and  of  them  that  hate  him,  that 
they  rise  not  again. 

12  1  And  of  Ben'ja-roin  he 
said,  The  beloved  of  the  Lord 
shall  dwell  in  safety  by  him; 
and  the  Lord  shall  cover  him 
all  the  day  long,  and  he  shall 
dwell  between  his  shoulders. 

13  1f  And  of  Jo'geph  he  said, 
Blessed  of  the  Lord  be  his  land, 
for  the  precious  things  of  heav- 
en, for  the  dew,  and  for  the 
deep  that  coucheth  beneath, 

14  And  for  the  precious  fruits 
brought  forth  by  the  sun,  and

15  And  for  the  chief  things  of

the  precious  things  of  the  last- 
ing hills, 

16  And  for  the  precious  things 
of  the  earth  and  fulness  thereof, 
and  for  the  good  will  of  him 
that  dwelt  in  the  bush :  let  the 
blessing  come  upon  the  head 
of  Jffseph,  and  upon  the  top  of 
the  head  of  him  that  was  sep- 
arated from  his  brethren. 

17  His  glory  is  hike  the  first- 
ling of  his  bullock,  and  his 
horns  are  like  the  horns  of 
unicorns:  with  them  he  shall 
push  the  people  together  to  the 
ends  of  the  earth :  and  they  are 
the  ten  thousands  of  B'phrfi-iih, 
and  they  are  the  thousands' of 
Mft-nas'seh. 

18  H  And  of  ZeVu-lun  he  said. 
Rejoice,  Zeo\i*lun,  in  thy  going 
out;  and,  Is'sa«char,  in  thy  tents. 

19  They  shall  call  the  .people 
unto  the  mountain ;  there  they 
shall  offer  sacrifices  of  right* 
eousness:  for  they  shall  suck 
of  the  abundance  of  the  seas, 
and  of  treasures  hid  in  the 
sand. 

20  f  And  of  G&d  he  said,  Bless- 
ed be  he  that  enlargeth  Gfid 
he  dwelleth  as  a  lion,  and  tear- 
eth  the  arm  with  the  crown  of 
the  head. 

21  And  he  provided  the  first 
part  for  himself,  because  there, 
%n  a  portion  of  the  lawgiver, 
was  he  seated;  and  he  came 
with  the  heads  of  the  people, 
he  executed  the  justice  of  the 
Lord,  and  his  judgments  with 
Ig'ra-el. 

22  IFAnd  of  Dan  he  said,  Dan 
is  a  lion's  whelp :  he  shall  leap 
from  Ba'shfin. 

23  IT  And  of  NSph'ta-ii  he  said,  Nu.2.29.  Tribe  of  Naphtali, 
O  Naph'ta-li,  satisfied  with  fa- 
vour,  and  full  with  the  blessing 
of  the  Lord  :  possess  thou  the 
west  and  the  south. 

24  11  And  of  Ash'gr  he  said, 
Let  Ash'er  be  blessed  with 
children ;  let  him  be  acceptable 
to  his  brethren,  and  let  him 
dip  his  foot  in  oil. 

25  Thy  shoes  shall  be  iron 
and  brass;  and  as  thy  days,  so 
shall  thy  strength  be. 

26  %  There  is  none  like  unto 
the  God  of  Jesh'u-rfin,  who 
rideth  upon  the  heaven  in  thy 
help,  and  in  his  excellency  on 
the  sky.

uge, and  underneath  are  the

The  praise  of  Moses. 

AND  Mo'ses  went  up  from  the 
plains  of  M5'ab  unto  the 
mountain  of  Nelti,  to  the  top 
of  Pis/gah,  that  ie  over  against 
JeYi-chd.  And  the  Lord  shewed 
him  all  the  land  of  Gfl'e-ftd,  un- 
to Din, 

2  And  all  Naph'ta-li,  and  the 
land  of  E'phra-im,  and  Mfi-nfis'- 
seh,  and  all  the  land  of  JG'dah, 
unto  the  utmost  sea, 

3  And  the  south,  and  the  plain 
of  the  valley  of  Jerl-cho,  the 
city  of  palm  trees,  unto  Z6*ar. 

4  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 
This  is  the  land  which  I  sware 
unto  A'bra-ham.  unto  I'saac,  and 
unto  Ja'cob,  saving.  I  will  give 
it  unto  thy  seed:  I  have  caused 
thee  to  see  it  with  thine  eyes, 


but  thou  shalt   not   go    over 
thither. 

5  f  So  Mo'ses  the  servant  of 
the  Lord  died  there  in  the  land 
of  M5'ab,  according  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord. 

6  And  he  buried  him  in  a  val- 
ley in  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  over 
against  B£th-p€'dr :  but  no  man 
knoweth  of  his  sepulchre  unto 
this  day. 

7  f  And  Me'ses  was  an  hun- 
dred and  twenty  years  old  when 
he  died :  his  eve  was  not  dim, 
nor  his  natural  force  abated. 

8  HAnd  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
wept  for  Mo'ses  in  the  plains  of 
Mdab  thirty  days:  so  the  days 
of  weeping  and  mourning  for 
M5'seg  were  ended. 

9  ITAnd  Jfish'u-a  the  son  of 
Nun  was  full  of  the  spirit  of 
wisdom ;  for  Md'sea  had  laid  his 
hands  upon  him :  and  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el  hearkened  unto 
him,  and  did  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Md'seg. 

10  f  And  there  arose  not  a 
prophet  since  in  Is/ra-el  like 
unto  Md'ses,  whom  the  Lord 
knew  face  to  face, 

11  In  all  the  signs  and  the 
wonders,  which  the  Lord  sent 
him  to  do  in  the  land  of  £'g?pt 
to  Ph&'radh,  and  to  all  his  serv- 
ants, and  to  all  his  land, 

12  And  in  all  that  mighty

CHAPTER  1 

The  Lord  appoints  Joshua  to  succeed 
Moses.  3  Extent  of  the  promised 
land.  5  God  promises  to  assist 
Joshua.  10  Joshua  prepares  the 
people  to  pass  over  Jordan, 

NOW  after  the  death  of  M5'- 
seg  the  servant  of  the  Lord 
it  came  to  pass,  that  the  Lord 
spake  unto  Jo&h'u-a  the  son  of 
Nun,  Md'ses'  minister,  saying, 

2  Md'ses  my  servant  is  dead; 
now  therefore  arise,  go  over  this 
Jordan,  thou,  and  all  this  peo- 
ple, unto  the  land  which  I  do 
give  to  them,  even  to  the  chil 
dren  of  Is'ra-el. 

3  Every  place  that  the  sole  of 
your  foot  shall  tread  upon,  that 
have  I  given  unto  you,  as  I  said 
unto  Md'ses. 

4  From  the  wilderness  and 
this  LeVa-non  even  unto  the 


great  river,  the  river  Eu-phra'- 
tes,  all  the  land  of  the  ffit'tites, 
and  unto  the  great  sea  toward 
the  going  down  of  the  sun,  shall 
be  your  coast. 

5  There  shall  not  any  man  be 
able  to  stand  before  thee  all  the 
days  of  thy  life:  as  I  was  with 
Md'ses,  so  I  will  be  with  thee : 
I  will  not  fail  thee,  nor  forsake 
thee. 

6  Be  strong  and  of  a  good  cour- 
age: for  unto  this  people  shalt 
thou  divide  for  an  inheritance 
the  land,  which  I  sware  unto 
their  fathers  to  give  them. 

7  Only  be  thou  strong  and 
very  courageous,  that  thou 
mayest  observe  to  do  accord- 
ing to  all  the  law,  which  Md'- 
ses  my  servant  commanded 
thee:  turn  not  from  it  to  the

thou  mayest  prosper  whitherso- 
ever thou  goest 

8  This  book  of  the  law  shall 
not  depart  out  of  thy  mouth; 
but  thou  shalt  meditate  therein 
day  and  night,  that  thou  may- 
est observe  to  do  according  to 
all  that  is  written  therein :  for 
then  thou  shalt  make  thy  wav 

>rosperous»  and  then  thou  shaft 
lave  good  success. 

9  Have  not  I  commanded 
thee?  Be  strong  and  of  a  good 
courage ;  be  not  afraid,  neither 
be  thou  dismayed :  for  the  Lord 
thy  God  is  with  thee  whither- 
soever thou  goest. 

10  IfThen  Jdsh'u-a  command- 
ed the  officers  of  the  people, 
saying, 

11  Pass  through  the  host,  and 
command  the  people,  saying, 
Prepare  you  victuals ;  for  with- 
in three  days  ye  shall  pass  over 
this  Jdr'dan,  to  go  in  to  possess 
the  land,  which  the  Lord  your 
God  giveth  you  to  possess  it 

12  IFAnd  to  the  Reu'ben-ites, 
and  to  the  Gfidltes,  and  to  half 
the  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh,  spake 
Jdsh'u-a,  saying, 

13  Remember  the  word  which 
Md'seg  the  servant  of  the  Lord 
commanded  you,  saying,  The 
Lord  your  God  hath  given  you 
rest,  and  hath  given  you  this 
land. 

14  Your  wives,  your  little 
ones,  and  your  cattle,  shall 
remain  in  the  land  which  Mou- 
ses, gave  you  on  this  side  Jdr'- 
dan; but  ye  shall  pass  before 
your  brethren  armed,  all  the 
mighty  men  of  valour,  and 
help  them; 

15  Until  the  Lord  have  given 
your  brethren  rest,  as  he  hath 
given  you,  and  they  also  have 
possessed  the  land  which  the 
Lord  your  God  giveth  them: 
then  ye  shall  return  unto  the 
land  of  your  possession,  and 
enjoy  it,  which  Md'seg  the 
Lord's  servant  gave  you  on 
this  side  Jdr'dan  toward  the 
sunrising. 

16  HAnd  they  answered  Jdsh'- 
u-a, saying,  All  that  thou  com- 
mandest  us  we  will  do,  and 
whithersoever  thou  sendest  us, 
we  will  go. 

17  According  as  we  heark- 
ened unto  Md'ses.  in  all  things, 
so  will  we  hearken  unto  thee : 
only  the  Lord  thy  God  be  with 
thee,  as  he  was  with  Md'ses, 

18  Whosoever  he  be  that  doth 
rebel  against  thy  command- 
ment, and  will  not  hearken  un- 
to thy  words  in  all  that  thou 


commandest  him,  he  shall  be 
put  to  death:  only  be  strong 
and  of  a  good  courage. 

CHAPTER  2 

Rahab  receives  and  conceals  the  two 
spies  sent  from  Shittim :  8  the  cov- 
enant between  her  and  them:  23 
their  return  and  report  to  Josfu 

AND  J5sh'u4  the  son  of  Nun 
sent  out  of  Shif  tim  two 
men  to  spy  secretly,  saying,  Go 
view  the  land,  even  Jerl-chd. 
And  they  went,  and  came  into 
an  harlot* s  house,  named  Ra' 
h&b,  and  lodged  there. 

2  And  it  was  told  the  king  of 
Jerl-chd,  saying,  Behold,  there 
came  men  in  hither  to  night  of 
the  children  of  Is/ra-el  to  search 
out  the  country. 

3  And  the  king  of  JeVi-chd 
sent  unto  RfiTi&b,  saying;  Bring 
forth  the  men  that  are  come  to 
thee,  which  are  entered  into 
thine  house :  for  they  be  come 
to  search  out  all  the  country. 

4  And  the  woman  took  the 
two  men,  and  hid  them,  and 
said  thus,  There  came  men  un- 
to me,  but  I  wist  not  whence 
they  were : 

5  And  it  came  to  pass  about 
the  time  of  shutting  of  the 
gate,  when  it  was  dark,  that 
the  men  went  out:  whither  the 
men  went  I  wot  not:  pursue 
after  them  quickly ;  for  ye  shall 
overtake  them. 

6  But  she  had  brought  them 
up  to  the  roof  of  the  house,  and 
hid  them  with  the  stalks  of  flax, 
which  she  had  laid  in  order  up- 
on the  roof. 

7  And  the  men  pursued  after 
them  the  way  to  Jdr'dan  unto 
the  fords :  and  as  soon  as  they 
which  pursued  after  them  were 
gone  out,  they  shut  the  gate. 

8  If  And  before  they  were  laid 
down,  she  came  up  unto  them 
upon  the  roof ; 

9  And  she  said  unto  the  men, 
I  know  that  the  Lord  hath 
given  you  the  land,  and  that 
your  terror  is  fallen  upon  us, 
and  that  all  the  inhabitants  of 
the  land  faint  because  of  you. 

10  For  we  have  heard  how 
the  Lord  dried  up  the  water  of 
the  Red  sea  for  you,  when  ye 
came  out  of  E'gypt;  and  what 
ye  did  unto  the  two  kings  of 
the  Am'dr-ites,  that  were  on 
the  other  side  Jdr'dan,  Sfhdn 
and  0g,  whom  ye  utterly  de- 
stroyed. 

11  And  as  soon  as  we  had 
heard  these  things,  our  hearts 
did  melt,  neither  did  there  re- 
main any  more  courage  in  any 
man,  because  of  you:  for  the

Lord  your  God,  he  is  God  in 
heaven  above,  and  in  earth  be- 
neath. 

12  Now  therefore,  I  pray  you, 
swear  unto  me  by  the  Lord, 
since  I  have  shewed  you  kind- 
ness, that  ye  will  also  shew 
kindness  unto  my  father's 
house,  and  give  me  a  true 
token : 

13  And  that  ye  will  save  alive 
my  father,  and  my  mother,  and 
my  brethren,  and  my  sisters, 
and  all  that  they  have,  and  de- 
liver our  lives  from  death. 

14  And  the  men  answered 
her,  Our  life  for  your's,  if  ye  ut- 
ter  not  this  our  business.  And 
it  shall  be,  when  the  Lord  hath 
given  us  the  land,  that  we  will 
deal  kindly  and  truly  with  thee. 

15  Then  she  let  them  down 
by  a  cord  through  the  window 
for  her  house  was  upon  the 
town  wall,  and  she  dwelt  upon 
the  wall. 

16  And  she  said  unto  them, 
Get  you  to  the  mountain,  lest 
the  pursuers  meet  you;  and 
hide  yourselves  there  three 
days,  until  the  pursuers  be  re- 
turned :  and  afterward  may  ye 
go  your  way. 

17  And  the  men  said  unto 
her,  We  will  be  blameless  of 
this  thine  oath  which  thou  hast 
made  us  swear. 

18  Behold,  when  we  come  in- 
to the  land,  thou  shalt  bind  this 
line  of  scarlet  thread  in  the 
window  which  thou  didst  let  us 
down  by:  and  thou  shalt  bring 
thy  father,  and  thy  mother, 
and  thy  brethren,  and  all  thy 
father's  household,  home  unto 
thee. 

19  And  it  shall  be,  that  who- 
soever shall  go  out  of  the  doors 
of  thy  house  into  the  street, 
his  blood  shall  be  upon  his 
head,  and  we  will  be  guiltless : 
and  whosoever  shall  be  with 
thee  in  the  house,  his  blood 
shall  be  on  our  head,  if  any 
hand  be  upon  him. 

20  And  if  thou  utter  this  our 
business,  then  we  will  be  quit 
of  thine  oath  which  thou  hast 
made  us  to  swear. 

21  And  she  said,  According 
unto  your  words,  so  be  it  And 
she  sent  them  away,  and  they 
departed:  and  she  bound  the 
scarlet  line  in  the  window. 

22  And  they  went,  and  came 
unto  the  mountain,  and  abode 
there  three  days,  until  the  pur- 
suers were  returned:  and  the 
pursuers  sought  them  through- 
out all  the  way,  but  found  them 
not. 


23  So  the  two  men  returned, 
and  descended  from  the  moun- 
tain, and  passed  over,  and  came 
to  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and 
told  him  all  things  that  befell 
them: 

24  And  they  said  unto  J0sh'u-a, 
Truly  the  Lord  hath  delivered 
into  our  hands  all  the  land ;  for 
even  all  the  inhabitants  of  the 
country  do  faint  because  of  us.

Jothua  cornea  to  Jordan.  7  The  Lord 
encourages  him.  9  Joehua  encour- 
age* the  people.  14  The  waters  of 
Jordan  are  divided. 

AND  J6sh'u-e  rose  early  in 
the  morning;  and  they  re- 
moved from  Shit'tim,  and  came 
to  Jdr'dan,  he  and  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el,  and  lodged  there 
before  they  passed  over. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
three  days,  that  the  officers 
went  through  the  host ; 

3  And  they  commanded  the 
people,  saying,  When  ye  see  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord  your  God,  and  the  priests 
the  LS'vites  bearing  it,  then  ye 
shall  remove  from  your  place, 
and  go  after  it 

4  Yet  there  shall  be  a  space 
between  you  and  it,  about  two 
thousand  cubits  by  measure 
come  not  near  unto  it,  that  ye 
may  know  the  way  by  which  ye 
must  go :  for  ye  have  not  passed 
this  way  heretofore. 

5  And  Jfoh'u-a  said  unto  the 
people,  Sanctify  yourselves :  for 
to  morrow  the  Lord  will  do 
wonders  among  you. 

6  And  J5sh'u-a  spake  unto  the 
priests,  saying,  Take  up  the  ark 
of  the  covenant,  and  pass  over 
before  the  people.  And  they 
took  up  the  ark  of  the  covenant 
and  went  before  the  people. 

7  ITAnd  the  Lord  said  unto 
J5sh'u-a,  This  day  will  I  begin 
to  magnify  thee  in  the  sight  of 
all  Is/ra-el,  that  they  may  know 
that  &s  I  was  with  M5'se$,  so  I 
will  be  with  thee. 

8  And  thou  shalt  command 
the  priests  that  bear  the  ark  of 
the  covenant  saying,  When 
are  come  to  the  brink 


hen  ye 
of  the 


water  of  Jdr'dan,  ye  shall  stand 
still  in  Jdr'dan. 

9  HAnd  Jdsh'u-a  said  unto  the 
children  of  ls/ra-el,  Come  hither, 
and  hear  the  words  of  the  Lord 
your  God. 

10  And  Jdsh'u-a  said,  Hereby 
ye  shall  know  that  the  living 
God  is  among  you,  and  that  he 
will  without  fail  drive  out  from 
before  you  the  Ca'naan-Ites, 
and  the  Hlf tites,  and  the  Hi'.

11  Behold,  the  ark  of  the  cov- 
enant of  the  Lord  of  all  the  earth 
passeth  over  before  you  into 
Jdr'dan. 

12  Now  therefore  take  yon 
twelve  men  out  of  the  tribes  of 
Is/ra-el,  out  of  every  tribe  a  man 

13  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
as  soon  as  the  soles  of  the  feet 
of  the  priests  that  bear  the  ark 
of  the  Lord,  the  Lord  of  all  the 
earth,  shall  rest  in  the  waters 
of  Jdr'dan,  that  the  waters  of 
Jdr'dan  shall  be  cut  off  from 
the  waters  that  come  down 
from  above;  and  they  shall 
stand  upon  an  heap. 

14  IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  people  removed  from  their 
tents,  to  pass  over  Jdr'dan,  and 
the  priests  bearing  the  ark  of  the 
covenant  before  the  people ; 

15  And  as  they  that  bare  the 
ark  were  come  unto  Jdr'dan,  and 
the  feet  of  the  priests  that  bare 
the  ark  were  dipped  in  the  brim 
of  the  water,  (for  Jdr'dan  over- 
floweth  all  his  banks  all  the 
time  of  harvest,) 

16  That  the  waters  which 
came  down  from  above  stood 
and  rose  up  upon  an  heap  very 
far  from  the  city  Ad'am,  that 
is  beside  ZaVe-tan:  and  those 
that  came  down  toward  the  sea 
of  the  plain,  even  the  salt  sea, 
failed,  and  were  cut  off:  and 
the  people  passed  over  right 
against  Jerf-chd. 

17  And  the  priests  that  bare 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord  stood  firm  on  dry  ground 
in  the  midst  of  Jdr'dan,  and  all 
the  Ig'ra-el-ites  passed  over  on 
dry  ground,  until  all  the  people 
were  passed  clean  over  Jdr'dan. 

CHAPTER  4 
Twelve  atones  token  for  a  memorial 
out  of  Jordan  :  9  twelve  other  atones 
set  up  in  the  midst  thereof.  10  The 
people  pass  over.  14  God  magnifies 
Joshua. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  all 
the  people  were  clean  pass- 
ed over  Jdr'dan,  that  the  Lord 
spake  unto  Jdsh'u-a,  saying, 

2  Take  you  twelve  men  out  of 
the  people,  out  of  every  tribe  a 
man, 

3  And  command  ye  them,  say- 
ing, Take  you  hence  out  of  the 
midst  of  Jdr'dan,  out  of  the 
place  where  the  priests'  feet 
stood  firm,  twelve  stones,  and 
ye  shall  carry  them  over  with 
you,  and  leave  them  in  the  lodg- 
ing place,  where  ye  shall  lodge 
this  night 

4  Then   Jdsh'u-a   called   the 


twelve  men,  whom  he  had  pre- 
pared of  the  children  of  Ig'ra- 
el,  out  of  every  tribe  a  man : 

5  And  Jdsh'u-a  said  unto  them, 
Pass  over  before  the  ark  of  the 
Lord  your  God  into  the  midst 
of  Jdr'dan,  and  take  you  up 
every  man  of  you  a  stone  upon 
his  shoulder,  according  unto 
the  number  of  the  tribes  of  the 
children  of  la'ra-el : 

6  That  this  may  be  a  sign 
among  you,  that  when  your 
children  ask  their  fathers  in 
time  to  come,  saying,  What 
mean  ye  by  these  stones? 

7  Then  ye  shall  answer  them, 
That  the  waters  of  Jdr'dan  were 
cut  off  before  the  ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord  ;  when  it 
passed  over  Jdr'dan,  the  waters 
of  Jdr'dan  were  cut  off:  and 
these  stones  shall  be  for  a  me- 
morial unto  the  children  of  Is.'- 
ra-el  for  ever. 

8  And  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el 
did  so  as  Jdsh'u-a  commanded, 
and  took  up  twelve  stones  out 
of  the  midst  of  Jdr'dan,  as  the 
Lord  spake  unto  Jdsh'u-a,  ac- 
cording to  the  number  of  the 
tribes  of  the  children  of  la'ra- 
el,  and  carried  them  over  with 
them  unto  the  place  where  they 
lodged,  and  laid  them  down 
there. 

9  And  Jdsh'u-a  set  up  twelve 
stones  in  the  midst  of  Jdr'dan, 
in  the  place  where  the  feet  of 
the  priests  which  bare  the  ark 
of  the  covenant  stood :  and  they 
are  there  unto  this  day. 

10  IfPor  the  priests  which  bare 
the  ark  stood  in  the  midst  of 
Jdr'dan,  until  every  thing  was 
finished  that  the  Lord  com- 
manded Jdsh'u-a  to  speak  unto 
the  people,  according  to  all  that 
Md'ses  commanded  Jdsh'u-a: 
and  the  people  hasted  and 
passed  over. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
all  the  people  were  clean  passed 
over,  that  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
passed  over,  and  the  priests,  in 
the  presence  of  the  people. 

12  And  the  children  of  Reu'- 
ben,  and  the  children  of  Gad, 
and  half  the  tribe  of  MS-nfis'- 
seh,  passed  over  armed  before 
the  children  of  Ig'ra-el,  as  Md'- 
ge§  spake  unto  them : 

13  About  forty  thousand  pre- 
pared for  war  passed  over  be- 
fore the  Lord  unto  battle,  to 
the  plains  of  JSrf-chd. 

14  If  On  that  day  the  Lord 
magnified  Jdsh'u-a  in  the  sight 
of  all  la'ra-el ;  and  they  feared 
him,  as  they  feared  Mo'geg,  all 
the  days  of  his  Hfe.

15  IT  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Jdsh'u-a,  saying, 

16  Command  the  priests  that 
bear  the  ark  of  the  testimony, 
that  they  come  up  out  of  Jdr'dan. 

17  Jdsh'u-a  therefore  com- 
manded the  priests,  saying, 
Come  ye  up  out  of  Jdr'dan. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  priests  that  bare  the  ark  of 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord  were 
come  up  out  of  the  midst  of 
Jdr'dan,  and  the  soles  of  the 
priests'  feet  were  lifted  up  un- 
to the  dry  land,  that  the  waters 
of  Jdr'dan  returned  unto  their 
place,  and  flowed  over  all  his 
banks,  as  they  did  before. 

19  HAnd  the  people  came  up 
out  of  Jdr'dan  on  the  tenth  day 
of  the  first  month,  and  en- 
camped in  GH'g&l,  in  the  east 
border  of  JSrl-chd. 

20  And  those  twelve  stones, 
which  they  took  out  of  Jdr'dan, 
did  Jdsh'u-a  pitch  in  GU'gal 

21  And  he  spake  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el,  saying,  When 
your  children  shall  ask  their 
fathers  in  time  to  come,  saying, 
What  mean  these  stones? 

22  Then  ye  shall  let  your  chil- 
dren know,  saying,  Is/ra-el  came 
over  this  Jdr'dan  on  dry  land. 

23  For  the  Lord  your  God 
dried  up  the  waters  of  Jdr'dan 
from  before  you,  until  ye  were 
passed  over,  as  the  Lord  your 
God  did  to  the  Red  sea,  which 
he  dried  up  from  before  us,  un- 
til we  were  gone  over: 

24  That  all  the  people  of  the 
earth  might  know  the  hand  of 
the  Lord,  that  it  is  mighty: 
that  ye  might  fear  the  Lord 
your  God  for  ever. 

CHAPTER  5 

The  Canaanites  afraid.  2  Circum- 
cision is  renewed.  10  The  passover 
kept  at  GilgaL  13  An  Angel  ap- 
pears to  Joshua. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  all 
the  kings  of  the  Am'dr-ites, 
which  were  on  the  side  of  Jor- 
dan westward,  and  all  the  kings 
of  the  C£'naan-ites,  which  were 
by  the  sea,  heard  that  the  Lord 
had  dried  up  the  waters  of  Jdr'- 
dan from  before  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el,  until  we  were  passed 
over,  that  their  heart  melted, 
neither  was  there  spirit  in  them 
any  more,  because  of  the  chil- 
dren of  ls'ra-el. 

2  IF  At  that  time  the  Lord  said 
unto  Jdsh'u-a,  Make  thee  sharp 
knives,  and  circumcise  again 
the  children  of  Is/ra-el  the  sec- 
ond time. 

3  And  J6sh'u-a  made  him 
sharp  knives,  and  circumcised 


the  children  of  Is/ra-el  at  the 
hill  of  the  foreskins. 

4  And  this  is  the  cause  why 
Jdsh'u-a  did  circumcise :  All  the 
people  that  came  out  of  E'gypt, 
that  were  males,  even  all  the 
men  of  war,  died  in  the  wilder- 
ness by  the  way,  after  they  came 
out  of  E'fifat 

5  Now  all  the  people  that  came 
out  were  circumcised:  but  all 
the  people  that  were  born  in 
the  wilderness  by  the  way  as 
they  came  forth  out  of  &'gjrpt, 
them  thev  had  not  circumcised. 

6  For  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
walked  forty  years  in  the  wil- 
derness* till  all  the  people  that 
were  men  of  war,  which  came 
out  of  E'gjpt,  were  consumed, 
because  they  obeyed  not  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  :  unto  whom 
the  Lord  aware  that  he  would 
not  shew  them  the  land,  which 
the  Lord  sware  unto  their  fa- 
thers that  he  would  give  us,  a 
land  that  floweth  with  milk  and 
honey. 

7  And  their  children,  whom 
he  raised  up  in  their  stead,  them 
Jdsh'u-a  circumcised:  for  they 
were  uncircumcised,  because 
they  had  not  circumcised  them 
by  the  way, 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  had  done  circumcising  all 
the  people,  that  they  abode  in 
their  places  in  the  camp,  till 
they  were  whole. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Jdsh'u-a,  This  day  have  I  rolled 
away  the  reproach  of  £'gypt 
from  off  you.  Wherefore  the 
name  of  the  place  is  called  GU'- 
gal unto  this  day. 

10  HAnd  the  children  of  1§' 
ra-el  encamped  in  Gil'gal,  and 
kept  the  passover  on  the  four- 
teenth day  of  the  month  at  even 
in  the  plains  of  Jerl-cho. 

11  And  they  did  eat  of  the  old 
corn  of  the  land  on  the  morrow 
after  the  passover,  unleavened 
cakes,  and  parched  corn  in  the 
selfsame  day. 

12  IF  And  the  manna  ceased 
on  the  morrow  after  they  had 
eaten  of  the  old  corn  of  the 
land ;  neither  had  the  children 
of  ls'ra-el  manna  any  more; 
but  they  did  eat  of  the  fruit  of 
the  land  of  Ca'naan  that  year. 

13  HAnd  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Jdsh'u-a  was  by  JSrl-cho,  that 
he  lifted  up  his  eyes  and  looked, 
and,  behold*  there  stood  a  man 
over  against  him  with  his  sword 
drawn  in  his  hand :  and  Jdsh'u-a 
went  unto  him,  and  said  unto 
him,  Art  thou  for  us,  or  for  our 
adversaries?

14  And  he  said,  Nay ;  but  as 
captain  of  the  host  of  the  Lord 
am  I  now  come.  And  J5sh'u-a 
fell  on  his  face  to  the  earth,  and 
did  worship,  and  said  unto  him, 
What  saith  my  lord 
servant  ? 

15  And  the  captain  of  the 
Lord's  host  said  unto  J6sh'u-a, 
Loose  thy  shoe  from  off  thy 
foot;  for  the  place  whereon 
thou  standest  %s  holy.  And 
Jdsh'u-a  did  so. 


CHAPTER  6 

Jericho  shut  up.  8  The  city  com- 
passed six  days.  20  The  walls  fall 
down.  12  Rahabis saved.  26  The 
rebuilder  of  Jericho  cursed. 

NOW  JSrT-cho  was  straitly 
shut  up  because  of  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el :  none  went 
out,  and  none  came  in. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Jdsh'u-a,  See,  I  have  given  into 
thine  hand  JeVfchd,  and  the 
king  thereof,  and  the  mighty 
men  of  valour. 

3  And  ye  shall  compass  the 
city,  all  ye  men  of  war,  and  go 
round  about  the  city  once.  Thus 
shalt  thou  do  six  days. 

4  And  seven  priests  shall  bear 
before  the  ark  seven  trumpets 
of  rams'  horns:  and  the  sev- 
enth day  ye  shall  compass  the 
city  seven  times,  and  the  priests 
shall  blow  with  the  trumpets. 

5  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  when  they  make  a  long 
blast  with  the  ram's  horn,  ana 
when  ye  hear  the  sound  of  the 
trumpet,  all  the  people  shall 
shout  with  a  great  shout ;  and 
the  wall  of  the  city  shall  fall 
down  flat,  and  the  people  shall 
ascend  up  every  man  straight 
before  him. 

6  IT  And  J6sb'u-a  the  son  of 
Nun  called  the  priests,  and  said 
unto  them,  Take  up  the  ark  of 
the  covenant,  and  let  seven 
priests  bear  seven  trumpets  of 
rams'  horns  before  the  ark  of 
the  Lord. 

7  And  he  said  unto  the  people, 
Pass  on,  and  compass  the  city, 
and  let  him  that  is  armed  pass 
on  before  the  ark  of  the  Lord. 

8  IFAnd  it  came  to  pass,  when 
J&sh'u-a  had  spoken  unto  the 
people,  that  the  seven  priests 
bearing  the  seven  trumpets  of 
rams'  horns  passed  on  before 
the  Lord,  and  blew  with  the 
trumpets:  and  the  ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord  followed 
them. 

9  And  the  armed  men  went 
before  the  priests  that  blew  with 
the  trumpets,  and  the  rereward 
came  after  the  ark,  the  priests 


going  on,  and  blowing  with  the 
trumpets. 

10  And  Josh'u-a  had  command- 
ed the  people,  saying,  Ye  shall 
not  shout,  nor  make  any  noise 

unto  his  with  your  voice,  neither  shall 
any  word  proceed  out  of  your 
mouth,  until  the  day  I  bid  you 
shout ;  then  shall  ye  shout 

11  So  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
compassed  the  city,  going  about 
it  once:  and  they  came  into 
the  camp,  and  lodged  in  the 
camp. 

12  ITAnd  Jdsh'u-a  rose  early  in 
the  morning,  and  the  priests 
took  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord. 

13  And  seven  priests  bearing 
seven  trumpets  of  rams'  horns 
before  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
went  on  continually,  and  blew 
with  the  trumpets:  and  the 
armed  men  went  before  them ; 
but  the  rereward  came  after 
the  ark  of  the  Lord,  the  priests 
going  on,  and  blowing  with  the 
trumpets. 

14  And  the  second  day  they 
compassed  the  city  once,  and 
returned  into  the  camp:  so 
they  did  six  days. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
seventh  day,  that  they  rose 
early  about  the  dawning  of  the 
day,  and  compassed  the  city 
after  the  same  manner  seven 
times:  only  on  that  day  they 
compassed  the  city  seven  times. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
seventh  time,  when  the  priests 
blew  with  the  trumpets,  Jdsh'- 
u-a said  unto  the  people,  Shout ; 
for  the  LORD  hath  given  you 
the  city. 

17  And  the  cfty  shall  be  ac- 
cursed, even  it,  and  all  that  are 
therein,  to  the  Lord  :  only  Rfl'- 
h§b  the  harlot  shall  live,  she 
and  all  that  are  with  her  in  the 
house,  because  she  hid  the 
messengers  that  we  sent. 

18  And  ye,  in  any  wise  keep 
yourselves  from  the  accursed 
thing,  lest  ye  make  yourselves 
accursed,  when  ye  take  of  the 
accursed  thing,  and  make  the 
camp  of  Is/ra-el  a  curse,  and 
trouble  it. 

19  But  all  the  silver,  and  gold, 
and  vessels  of  brass  and  iron, 
are  consecrated  unto  the  Lord  : 
they  shall  come  into  the  treasury 
of  the  Lord. 

20  So  the  people -shouted  when 
the  priests  blew  with  the  trum- 
pets :  and  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  people  heard  the  sound  of 
the  trumpet,  and  the  people 
shouted  with  a  great  shout,  that 
the  wall  fell  down  flat,  so  that 
the  people  went  up  into  the

city,  every  man  straight  before 
him,  and  they  took  the  city. 

21  And  they  utterly  destroyed 
all  that  was  in  the  city,  both 
man  and  woman,  young  and 
old,  and  ox,  and  sheep,  and  ass, 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword. 

22  But  Jdsh'u-a  had  said  unto 
the  two  men  that  had  spied  out 
the  country,  Go  into  the  narlof  s 
house,  and  bring  out  thence  the 
woman,  and  all  that  she  hath, 
as  ye  sware  unto  her. 

23  And  the  young  men  that 
were  spies  went  in,  and  brought 
out  Ratfib,  and  her  father,  and 
her  mother,  and  her  brethren, 
and  all  that  she  had ;  and  they 
brought  out  all  her  kindred, 
and  left  them  without  the  camp 
of  Is/ra-el. 

24  And  they  burnt  the  city 
with  fire,  and  all  that  was 
therein:  only  the  silver,  and 
the  gold,  and  the  vessels  of 
brass  and  of  iron,. they  put  into 
the  treasury  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord. 

25  And  J5sh'u-a  saved  RThab 
the  harlot  alive,  and  her  fa- 
ther's household,  and  all  that 
she  had;  and  she  dwelleth  in 
ls'ra-el  even  unto  this  day;  be- 
cause she  hid  the  messengers, 
which  Jdsh'u-a  sent  to  spy  out 
JeVI-chS. 

26  HAnd  Jdsh'u-a  adjured  them 
at  that  time,  saying,  Cursed  be 
the  man  before  the  Lord*  that 
riseth  up  and  buildeth  this  city 
JSrl-cho :  he  shall  lay  the  foun- 
dation thereof  in  his  firstborn, 
and  in  his  youngest  son  shall 
he  set  up  the  gates  of  it 

27  So  the  Lord  was  with  Jdsh'- 
u-a; and  his  fame  was  noised 
throughout  all  the  country. 

CHAPTER  7 

Achan1  b  trespass.  2  Ths  Israelites 
&  smitten  at  Ai.  6  Joshua's  eom- 
plaint:  10  God  instructs  him  what 
to  do.  16  Achan  taken  by  tot :  19 
his  confession  :  2A  he  and  all  that 
he  had  destroyed  in  ths  valley  of 
Achor. 

BUT  the  children  of  ls'ra-el 
committed  a  trespass  in  the 
accursed  thing :  for  A'chan,  the 
son  of  Cartni,  the  son  of  Z&b' 
di,  the  son  of  Ze'rah,  of  the 
tribe  of  Ju'dah,  took  of  the  ac 
cursed  thing:  and  the  anger  of 
the  Lord  was  kindled  against 
the  children  of  Is'ra-eL 
2  And  J5sh'u«a  sent  men  from 
JeYl-chC  to  AI,  which  is  beside 
BSth-a'ven,  on  the  east  side  of 
Bgth'-el,  and  spake  unto  them, 
saying.  Go  up  and  view  the 
country.  And  the  men  went 
up  and  viewed  AX 


3  And  they  returned  to  Jdsh'- 
u-a, and  said  unto  him,  Let  not 
all  the  people  go  up;  but  let 
about  two  or  three  thousand 
men  go  up  and  smite  AI ;  and 
make  not  all  the  people  to  la- 
bour thither;  for  they  are  but 
few. 

4  So  there  went  up  thither  of 
the  people  about  three  thou- 
sand men :  and  they  fled  before 
the  men  of  AI. 

5  And  the  men  of  AI  smote 
of  them  about  thirty  and  six 
men:  for  they  chased  them 
from  before  tne  gate  even  un- 
to SheVa-rim,  and  smote  them 
in  the  going  down:  wherefore 
the  hearts  of  the  people  melt- 
ed, and  became  as  water. 

6  H  And  J6sh'u-a  rent  his 
clothes,  and  fell  to  the  earth 
upon  his  face  before  the  ark  of 
the  Lord  until  the  eventide, 
he  and  the  elders  of  ls'ra-el, 
and  put  dust  upon  their  heads. 

7  And  J5sh'u-a  said,  Alas,  O 
Lord  God,  wherefore  hast  thou 
at  all  brought  this  people  over 
Jordan,  to  deliver  us  into  the 
hand  of  the  Am'dr-ltes,  to  de- 
stroy us?  would  to  God  we  had 
been  content,  and  dwelt  on  the 
other  side  Jordan  I 

8  O  Lord,  what  shall  I  say, 
when  ls'ra-el  turneth  their 
backs  before  their  enemies! 

9  For  the  Cft'naan-ites  and  all 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land 
shall  hear  of  it,  and  shall  en- 
viron us  round,  and  cut  off  our 
name  from  the  earth:  and 
what  wilt  thou  do  unto  thy 
great  name? 

10  HAnd  the  Lord  said  unto 
Jdsh'u-a,  Get  thee  up;  wherefore 
liest  thou  thus  upon  thy  face? 

11  ls'ra-el  hath  sinned,  and 
they  have  also  transgressed  my 
covenant  which  I  commanded 
them :  for  they  have  even  tak- 
en of  the  accursed  thing,  and 
have  also  stolen,  and  dissem- 
bled also,  and  they  have  put 
it  even  among  their  own  stuff. 

12  Therefore  the  children  of 
I&'ra-ei  could  not  stand  before 
their  enemies,  but  turned  their 
backs  before  their  enemies,  be- 
cause they  were  accursed:  nei- 
ther will  I  be  with  you  any 
more,  except  ye  destroy  the  ac- 
cursed from  among  you. 

13  Up,  sanctify  the  people, 
and  say,  Sanctify  yourselves 
against  to  morrow:  for  thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  ls'ra-el, 
There  is  an  accursed  thing  in 
the  midst  of  thee,  0  ls'ra-el: 
thou  canst  not  stand  before 
thine  enemies,  until  ye  take

away  the  accursed  thing  from 
among  yon. 

14  In  the  morning  therefore 
ye  shall  be  brought  according 
to  your  tribes:  and  it  shall  be, 
that  the  tribe  which  the  Lord 
taketh  shall  come  according 
to  the  families  thereof;  and 
the  family  which  the  Lord 
shall  take  shall  come  by  house- 
holds ;  and  the  household  which 
the  Lord  shall  take  shall  come 
man  by  man. 

15  And  it  shall  be,  that  he 
that  is  taken  with  the  accursed 
thing  shall  be  burnt  with  fire, 
he  and  all  that  he  hath:  be- 
cause he  hath  transgressed  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord,  and  be- 
cause he  hath  wrought  folly  in 
Ig'ra-eL 

16  HSo  Jdsh'u-a  rose  up  early 
in  the  morning,  and  brought 
Is/ra-el  by  their  tribes;  and  the 
tribe  of  Ju'dah  was  taken: 

17  And  he  brought  the  fam- 
ily of  Ju'dah ;  and  he  took  the 
family  of  the  ZaVhites :  and  he 
brought  the  family  of  the  ZaV- 
hites  man  by  man ;  and  Z&b'di 
was  taken: 

18  And  he  brought  his  house- 
hold man  by  man ;  and  A'ch&n, 
the  son  of  Car'ml,  the  son  of 
ZSb'di,  the  son  of  Ze'rah,  of  the 
tribe  of  Ju'dah,  was  taken. 

19  And  Jdsh'u-a  said  unto 
A'ch&n,  My  son,  give,  I  pray 
thee,  glory  to  the  Lord  God 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  make  confession 
unto  him;  and  tell  me  now 
what  thou  hast  done;  hide  it 
not  from  me. 

20  And A'chan  answered  Jdsh'- 
u-a, and  said.  Indeed  I  have 
sinned  against  the  Lord  God 
of  Is/ra-tel,  and  thus  and  thus 
have  I  done : 

21  When  I  saw  among  the 
spoils  a  goodly  B&b-iMd'nish 
garment,  and  two  hundred 
shekels  of  silver,  and  a  wedge 
of  gold  of  fifty  shekels  weight, 
then  I  coveted  them,  and  took 
them;  and,  behold,  they  are 
hid  in  the  earth  in  the  midst 
of  my  tent,  and  the  silver  un- 
der it. 

22  So  Jdsh'u-a  sent  messen- 
gers, and  they  ran  unto  the 
tent ;  and,  behold,  it  was  hid  in 
his  tent,  and  the  silver  under  it 

23  And  they  took  them  out 
of  the  midst  of  the  tent,  and 
brought  them  unto  Jdsh'u-a,  and 
unto  all  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el, 
and  laid  them  out  before  the 
Lord. 

24  And  Jdsh'u-a,  and  all  Ig'- 
ra-el with  him,  took  A'chan 
the  son  of  ZS'rah,  and  the  sil- 


ver, and  the  garment,  and  the 
wedge  of  gold,  and  his  sons, 
and  his  daughters,  and  his 
oxen,  and  his  asses,  and  his 
sheep,  and  his  tent,  and  all  that 
he  had :  and  they  brought  them 
unto  the  valley  of  A'chor. 

25  And  Jdsh'u-a  said,  Why 
hast  thou  troubled  us?  the 
Lord  shall  trouble  thee  this 
day.  And  all  la'ra-el  stoned 
him  with  stones,  and  burned 
them  with  fire,  after  they  had 
stoned  them  with  stones. 

26  And  they  raised  over  him  a 
great  heap  of  stones  unto  this 
day.  So  the  Lord  turned  from 
the  fierceness  of  his  anger. 
Wherefore  the  name  of  that 
place  was  called,  The  valley  of 
A'chor,  unto  this  day. 

CHAPTER  8 
God  encourages  Joshua.   3  The  strat- 


agem whereby  Ai  was  taken.  39 
The  king  thereof  hanged.  30  Josh- 
ua builds  an  attar,  writes  the  law 


on  stones,  and  pronounces  blessings 
and  cursings. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto 
Jdsh'u-a,  Fear  not,  neither 
be  thou  dismayed :  take  all  the 
people  of  war  with  thee,  and 
arise,  go  up  to  A'i :  see,  I  have 
given  into  thy  hand  the  king  of 
AI,  and  his  people,  and  his  city, 
and  his  land : 

2  And  thou  shalt  do  to  AI  and 
her  kins  as  thou  didst  unto  Jeri- 
cho andher  king :  only  the  spoil 
thereof,  and  the  cattle  thereof, 
shall  ye  take  for  a  prey  unto 
yourselves :  lay  thee  an  ambush 
for  the  city  behind  it 

3  HSo  Jdsh'u-a  arose,  and  all 
the  people  of  war,  to  go  up 
against  AI :  and  Jdsh'u-a  chose 
out  thirty  thousand  mighty  men 
of  valour,  and  sent  them  away 
by  night 

4  And  he  commanded  them, 
saying,  Behold,  ye  shall  lie  in 
wait  against  the  city,  even  be- 
hind the  city :  go  not  very  far 
from  the  city,  but  be  ye  all 
ready : 

5  And  I,  and  all  the  people 
that  are  with  me,  will  approach 
unto  the  city:  and  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  when  they  come  out 
against  us,  as  at  the  first  that 
we  will  flee  before  them, 

6  (For  thev  will  come  out 
after  us)  till  we  have*  drawn 
them  from  the  city;  for  they 
will  say,  They  flee  before  us, 
as  at  the  first:  therefore  we 
will  flee  before  them. 

7  Then  ye  shall  rise  up  from 
the  ambush,  and  seize  upon  the 
city:  for  the  Lord  your  God 
will  deliver  it  into  your  hand. 

8  And  it  shall  be,  when  ye

have  taken  the  city,  that  ye 
shall  set  the  city  on  fire:  ac- 
cording to  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  shall  ye  do.  See, 
I  have  commanded  you. 

9  J6sh'u-a  therefore  sent  them 
forth :  and  they  went  to  lie  in 
ambush,  and  abode  between 
Be*th  -el  and  AI,  on  the  west 
side  of  AI :  but  J5sh'u-a  lodged 
that  night  among  the  people. 

10  And  Jdsh'u-a  rose  up  early 
in  the  morning,  and  numbered 
the  people,  and  went  up,  he  and 
the  elders  of  Is'ra-el,  before  the 
people  to  AX 

11  And  all  the  people,  even 
the  people  of  war  that  ■  were 
with  him,  went  up,  and  drew 
nigh,  and  came  before  the  city, 
and  pitched  on  the  north  side 
of  AI :  now  there  was  a  valley 
between  them  and  AX 

12  And  he  took  about  five 
thousand  men,  and  set  them  to 
lie  in  ambush  between  B€th'-el 
and  AI,  on  the  west  side  of  the 
city. 

13  And  when  they  had  set  the 
people,  even  all  the  host  that 
was  on  the  north  of  the  city, 
and  their  Hers  in  wait  on  the 
west  of  the  city,  J5sh'u-a  went 
that  night  into  the  midst  of  the 
valley. 

14  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  king  of  AI  saw  it,  that  they 
hasted  and  rose  up  early,  and 
the  men  of  the  city  went  out 
against  Is'ra-el  to  battle,  he 
and  all  his  people,  at  a  time  ap- 
pointed, before  the  plain ;  but 
ne  wist  not  that  there  were 
Hers  in  ambush  against  him 
behind  the  city. 

15  And  J5sh'u-a  and  all  Is'ra- 
el  made  as  if  they  were  beaten 
before  them,  and  fled  by  the 
way  of  the  wilderness. 

16  And  all  the  people  that 
were  in  AI  were  called  to- 
gether to  pursue  after  them: 
and  they  pursued  after  Jfoh'- 
u-a,  and  were  drawn  away  from 
the  city. 

17  And  there  was  not  a  man 
left  in  AI  or  B«h'-el,  that  went 
not  out  after  !s'ra-el :  and  they 
left  the  city  open,  and  pursued 
after  Is'ra-el. 

18  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
J5sh'u-a,  Stretch  out  the  spear 
that  is  in  thy  hand  toward  AI ; 
for  I  will  give  it  into  thine  hand. 
And  Jdsh'u-a  stretched  out  the 
spear  that  he  had  in  his  hand 
toward  the  city. 

19  And  the  ambush  arose 
quickly  out  of  their  place,  and 
they  ran  as  soon  as  he  had 
stretched  out  his  hand:   and 


they  entered  into  the  city,  and 
took  it,  and  hasted  and  set  the 
city  on  fire. 

20  And  when  the  men  of  A*i 
looked  behind  them,  they  saw, 
and,  behold,  the  smoke  of  the 
city  ascended  up  to  heaven, 
and  they  had  no  power  to  flee 
this  way  or  that  way :  and  the 
people  that  fled  to  the  wilder- 
ness turned  back  upon  the  pur- 
suers. 

21  And  when  Jdsh'u-a  and  all 
Is'ra-el  saw  that  the  ambush  had 
taken  the  city,  and  that  the 
smoke  of  the  city  ascended,  then 
they  turned  again,  and  slew  the 
men  of  AT 

22  And  the  other  issued  out  of 
the  city  against  them ;  so  they 
were  in  the  midst  of  Is'ra-el, 
some  on  this  side,  and  some  on 
that  side :  and  they  smote  them, 
so  that  they  let  none  of  them 
remain  or  escape. 

23  And  the  king  of  AT  they 
took  alive,  and  brought  him  to 
J5sh'u-a. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Is'ra-el  had  made  an  end  of  slay- 
ing all  the  inhabitants  of  AT 
in  the  field,  in  the  wilderness 
wherein  they  chased  them,  and 
when  they  were  all  fallen  on 
the  edge  of  the  sword,  until  they 
were  consumed,  that  all  the  I3'- 
ra-el-ites  returned  unto  AI,  and 
smote  it  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword. 

25  And  so  it  was,  that  all  that 
fell  that  day,  both  of  men  and 
women,  were  twelve  thousand, 
even  all  the  men  of  AI. 

26  For  J8sh'u~a  drew  not 
his  hand  back,  wherewith  he 
stretched  out  the  spear,  until 
he  had  utterly  destroyed  all  the 
inhabitants  of  AX 

27  Only  the  cattle  and  the  spoil 
of  that  city  Is'ra-el  took  for  a 
prey  unto  themselves,  according 
unto  the  word  of  the  Lord  which 
he  commanded  Josh'u-a. 

28  And  J5sh'u-a  burnt  AI,  and 
made  it  an  heap  for  ever,  even 
a  desolation  unto  this  day. 

29  And  the  king  of  Ai  he 
hanged  on  a  tree  until  eventide 
and  as  soon  as  the  sun  was  down, 
Jdsh'u-a  commanded  that  they 
should  take  his  carcase  down 
from  the  tree,  and  cast  it  at  the 
entering  of  the  gate  of  the  city, 
and  raise  thereon  a  great  heap 
of  stones,  that  remaineth  unto 
this  day. 

30  IT  Then  J5sh'u-a  built  an 
altar  unto  the  Lord  God  of  Is'- 
ra-el in  mount  £T>al, 

31  As  MO'ses  the  servant  of  the 
Lord  commanded  the  children'

of  Is'ra-el,  as  it  is  written  in  the 
book  of  the  law  of  M$'se§,  an 
altar  of  whole  stones,  over  which 
no  man  hath  lift  up  any  iron : 
and  they  offered  thereon  burnt 
offerings  unto  the  Lord,  and 
sacrificed  peace  offerings. 

32  And  he  wrote  there  upon 
the  stones  a  copy  of  the  law  of 
Mo'seg,  which  he  wrote  in  the 
presence  of  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-eL 

53  And  all  Is'ra-el,  and  their 
elders,  and  officers,  and  their 
judges,  stood  on  this  side  the 
ark  and  on  that  side  before  the 
priests  the  Le'vites,  which  bare 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord,  as  well  the  stranger,  as 
he  that  was  born  among  them ; 
half  of  them  over  against  mount 
Gerl-zim,  and  half  of  them  over 
against  mount  £l>al ;  as  Mo'ges 
the  servant  of  the  Lord  had 
commanded  before,  that  they 
should  bless  the  people  of  Is'- 
ra-el. 

34  And  afterward  he  read  all 
the  words  of  the  law,  the  bless- 
ings and  cursings,  according  to 
all  that  is  written  in  the  book 
of  the  law. . 

35  There  was  not  a  word  of 
all  that  Mo'geg  commanded, 
which  Jdsh'u-a  read  not  before 
all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el, 
with  the  women,  and  the  little 
ones,  and  the  strangers  that 
were  conversant  among  them. 

CHAPTER  9 

The  kings  combine  against  Israel,  3 
The  Gibeonites,  obtaining  a  league 
by  craft,  16  are  condemned  to  per- 
petual bondage. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
all  the  kings  which  were 
on  this  side  Jor'dan,  in  the  hills, 
and  in  the  valleys,  and  in  all 
the  coasts  of  the  great  sea  over 
against  LeVa-non,  the  Hit' tite, 
and  the  Am'dr-ite,  the  Ca'naan- 
ite,  the  PeVIz*ite,  the  Hi'vlte, 
and  the  JeVu-site,  heard  there- 
of; 

2  That  they  gathered  them- 
selves together,  to  fight  with 
J5sh'u-&  and  with  Is'ra-el,  with 
one  accord. 

3  IfAnd  when  the  inhabitants 
of  Gib'e-on  heard  what  J5sh'u-a 
had  done  unto  JerTchS  and  to 
A% 

4  They  did  work  wilily,  and 
went  and  made  as  if  they  had 
been  ambassadors,  and  took  old 
sacks  upon  their  asses,  and  wine 
bottles,  old,  and  rent,  and  bound 
up; 

3  And  old  shoes  and  clouted 
upon  their  feet,  and  old  gar 
menU  upon  them;  and  all  the 


bread  of  their  provision  was  dry 
and  mouldy. 

6  And  they  went  to  J5sh'u~a 
unto  the  camp  at  GH'gal,  and 
said  unto  him,  and  to  the  men 
of  Is'ra-el,  We  be  come  from  a 
far  country :  now  therefore 
make  ye  a  league  with  us. 

7  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  said 
unto  the  HiVites,  Peradventure 
ye  dwell  among  us;  and  how 
shall  we  make  a  league  with 
you? 

8  And  they  said  unto  Jdsh'u-a, 
We  are  thy  servants.  And 
Jdsh'u-a  said  unto  them,  Who 
are  ye?  and  from  whence  come 
ye? 

9  And  they  said  unto  him,  From 
a  very  far  country  thy  servants 
are  come  because  of  the  name 
of  the  Lord  thy  God:  for  we 
have  heard  the  fame  of  him, 
and  all  that  he  did  in  r£gjrpt, 

10  And  all  that  he  did  to  the 
two  kings  of  the  Am'dr-ltes, 
that  were  beyond  Jor'dan,  to 
Silrin  king  of  Hesh'b&n,  and  to 
Og  king  of  Ba'sh&n,  which  was 
at  Ash'ta-rflth, 

11  Wherefore  our  elders  and 
all  the  inhabitants  of  our  coun- 
try spake  to  us,  saying,  Take 
victuals  with  you  for  the  jour- 
ney, and  go  to  meet  them,  and 
say  unto  them,  We  are  your 
servants:  therefore  now  make 
ye  a  league  with  us. 

12  This  our  bread  we  took  hot 
for  our  provision  out  of  our 
nouses  on  the  day  we  came 
forth  to  go  unto  you;  but 
now,  behold,  it  is  dry,  and  it 
is  mouldy: 

13  And  these  bottles  of  wine, 
which  we  filled,  were  new; 
and,  behold,  they  be  rent:  and 
these  our  garments  and  our 
shoes  are  become  old  by  rea- 
son of  the  very  long  journey. 

14  And  the  men  took  of  their 
victuals,  and  asked  not  counsel 
at  the  mouth  of  the  Lord. 

15  And  J6sh'u-a  made  peace 
with  them,  and  made  a  league 
with  them,  to  let  them  live: 
and  the  princes  of  the  congre- 
gation sware  unto  them. 

16  IF  And  it  came  to  pass  at 
the  end  of  three  days  after 
they  had  made  a  league  with 
them,  that  they  heard  that  they 
were  their  neighbours,  and  that 
they  dwelt  among  them. 

17  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
journeyed,  and  came  unto  their 
cities  on  the  third  day.  Now 
their  cities  were  Gib'e-on,  and 
Che-phi'rah,  and  Be^'rCth,  and 
Kir'jath-je'a-rim. 

18  And  the  children  of  Ig'ra-

el  smote  them  not,  because  the 'so  he  had  done  to  AI  and  her 
princes  of  the  congregation  had 'king;  and  how  the  inhabitants 
sworn  unto  them  by  the  Lord  of  GIb'e-on  had  made  peace  with 

" Is/ra-el,  and  were  among  them ; 

2  That   they  feared   greatly, 
because  Gfb'e-on  woe  a  great 


God  of  Is/ra-eL.  And  all  the  con- 
gregation murmured  against  the 
princes. 

19  But  all  the  princes  said  un- 
to all  the  congregation,  We  have 
sworn  unto  them  by  the  Lord 
God  of  ls'ra-el :  now  therefore 
we  may  not  touch  them. 

20  This  we  will  do  to  them; 
we  will  even  let  them  live,  lest 
wrath  be  upon  us,  because  of  the 
oath  which  we  sware  unto  them. 

21  And  the  princes  said  unto 
them,  Let  them  live;  but  let 
them  be  hewers  of  wood  and 
drawers  of  water  unto  all  the 
congregation;  as  the  princes 
had  promised  them. 

22  fAnd  Jdsh'u-a  called  for 
them,  and  he  spake  unto  them, 
saying,  Wherefore  have  ye  be- 
guiled us,  saying,  We  are  very 
far  from  you;  when  ye  dwell 
among  us? 

23  Now  therefore  ye  are 
cursed,  and  there  shall  none 
of  you  be  freed  from  being 
bondmen,  and  hewers  of  wood 
and  drawers  of  water  for  the 
house  of  my  God. 

24  And  they  answered  Jdsh'- 
u-a,  and  said,  Because  it  was  cer- 
tainly told  thy  servants,  how 
that  the  Lord  thy  God  com- 
manded his  servant  M5'se§  to 
give  you  all  the  land,  and  to 
destroy  all  the  inhabitants  of 
the  land  from  before  you,  there- 
fore we  were  sore  afraid  of  our 
lives  because  of  you,  and  have 
done  this  thing. 

25  And  now,  behold,  we  are 
in  thine  hand:  as  it  seemeth 
good  and  right  unto  thee  to  do 
unto  us,  do. 

26  And  so  did  he  unto  them, 
and  delivered  them  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el, 
that  they  slew  them  not 

27  And  J6sh'u-a  made  them 
that  day  hewers  of  wood  and 
drawers  of  water  for  the  con- 
gregation, and  for  the  altar  of 
the  Lord,  even  unto  this  day, 
in  the  place  which  he  should 
choose.

city,  as  one  of  the  royal  cities, 
and  because  it  was  greater  than 
Al,  and  all  the  men  thereof 
were  mighty. 

3  Wherefore  A-dO'ni-sTdec 
king  of  Jg-ru'sH-lem  sent  unto 
H5'ham  king  of  Hebron,  and 
unto  Pl'ram  king  of  Jartmlth, 
and  unto  Ja-phi'a  king  of  Lfi'- 
chish,  and  unto  De'bir  king  of 
Eg/16n,  saying, 

4  Come  up  unto  me,  and  help 
me,  that  we  may  smite  Glb- 
e-on:  for  it  hath  made  peace 
with  Josh'u-a  and  with  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-eL 

5  Therefore  the  five  kings  of 
the  Am'dr-ites,  the  king  of  J£- 
ru'sa'-lSm,  the  king  of  He"bron, 
the  king  of  JaTmuth,  the  king 
of  L&'chish,  the  king  of  Bgldn, 
gathered  themselves  together, 
and  went  up,  they  and  all  their 
hosts,  and  encamped  before  Gib'- 
e-on, and  made  war  against  it. 

6  HAnd  the  men  or  GIb'e-on 
sent  unto  J5sh'u-a  to  the  camp 
to  GITgfil,  saving,  Slack  not  thy 
hand  from  thy  servants;  come 
up  to  us  quickly,  and  save  us, 
and  help  us:  for  all  the  kings 
of  the  Am'or-ites  that  dwell  in 
the  mountains  are  gathered  to- 
gether against  us. 

7  So  J5sh'u-a  ascended  from 
GH'g£l,  he,  and  all  the  people 
of  war  with  him,  and  all  the 
mighty  men  of  valour. 

8  IT  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
J6sh'u-a,  Fear  them  not:  for  I 
have  delivered  them  into  thine 
hand ;  there  shall  not  a  man  of 
them  stand  before  thee. 

9  J8sh'u-a  therefore  came  un- 
to them  suddenly,  and  went  up 
from  Gil'gfil  all  night 

10  And  the  Lord  discomfited 
them  before  Ig'ra-el,  and  slew 
them  with  a  great  slaughter  at 
GIb'e-on,  and  chased  them  along 
the  way  that  goeth  up  to  Be*th- 
hd'rdn,  and  smote  them  to 
A-zSlcah,  and  unto  M&k-k£'dah. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
they  fled  from  before  ls'ra-el,

NOW  it  came  to  pass,  when 
A-do'm-ze'dec  king  of  Je-

u-a  had  taken  AI,  and  had  ut-

Lobd  delivered  up  the  Am'dr-

ra-el,  and  he  said  in  the  sight  of 
Is/ra-el,  Sun,  stand  thou  still  up- 
on Glb'e-on;  and  thou,  Moon,  m 
the  valley  of  Aj'a-l6n. 

13  And  the  sun  stood  still, 
and  the  moon  stayed*  until  the 
people  had  avenged  themselves 
upon  their  enemies.  Is  not  this 
written  in  the  book  of  Ja'sher? 
So  the  sun  stood  still  in  the 
midst  of  heaven,  and  hasted 
not  to  go  down  about  a  whole 
day. 

14  And  there  was  no  day  like 
that  before  it  or  after  it,  that 
the  Lord  hearkened  unto  the 
voice  of  a  man :  for  the  Lord 
fought  for  lg'ra-el. 

15  If  And  Jfeh'u-a  returned, 
and  all  Is/ra-el  with  him,  unto 
the  camp  to  Gil'gal. 

16  But  these  five  kings  fled, 
and  hid  themselves  in  a  cave 
at  Mak-ke'dah. 

17  And  it  was  told  Jfeh'u-a, 
saying,  The  five  kings  are  found 
hid  in  a  cave  at  Mak-ke'dah. 

18  And  Jfeh'u-a  said,  Roll 
great  stones  upon  the  mouth 
of  the  cave,  and  set  men  by  it 
for  to  keep  them : 

19  And  stay  ye  not,  but  pur- 
sue after  your  enemies,  and 
smite  the  hindmost  of  them; 
suffer  them  not  to  enter  into 
their  cities:  for  the  Lord  your 
God  hath  delivered  them  into 
your  hand. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Jfeh'u-a  and  the  children  of  lg'- 
ra-el had  made  an  end  of  slaying 
them  with  a  very  great  slaugh- 
ter, till  they  were  consumed, 
that  the  rest  which  remained  of 
them  entered  into  fenced  cities. 

21  And  all  the  people  returned 
to  the  camp  to  J5sh'u-a  at  Mak- 
ke'dah  in  peace:  none  moved 
his  tongue  against  any  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el. 

22  Then  said  J5sh'u*a,  Open 
the  mouth  of  the  cave,  and 
bring  out  those  five  kings  unto 
me  out  of  the  cave. 

23  And  they  did  so,  and 
brought  forth  those  five  kings 
unto  him  out  of  the  cave,  the 
king  of  Je-ru'sfi-lem,  the  king  of 
Hrbron,  the' king  of  Jar'muth, 
the  king  of  La'chish,  and  the 
king  of  Egl5n. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  brought  out  those  kings  un- 
to J6sh'u-a,  that  Jfeh'u-a  called 
for  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
said  unto  the  captains  of  the 
men  of  war  which  went  with 
him,  Come  near,  put  your  feet 
upon  the  necks  ox  these  kings. 


And  they  came  near,  and  put 
their  feet  upon  the  necks  of 
them. 

25  And  Jfeh'u-a  said  unto 
them,  Fear  not,  nor  be  dis- 
mayed, be  strong  and  of  good 
courage:  for  thus  shall  the 
Lord  do  to  all  your  enemies 
against  whom  ye  fight 

26  And     afterward    Jfeh'u-a 
smote  them,  and  slew   them, 
and  hanged  them  on  five  trees 
and  they  were  hanging  upon 
the  trees  until  the  evening. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
time  of  the  going  down  of  the 
sun,  that  J6sh'u-a  commanded, 
and  they  took  them  down  off 
the  trees,  and  cast  them  into 
the  cave  wherein  they  had 
been  hid,  and  laid  great  stones 
in  the  cave's  mouth,  which  re- 
main until  this  very  day. 

28  t  And  that  day  Jfeh'u-a 
took  M&k-kS'dah,  and  smote  it 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword, 
and  the  king  thereof  he  utter- 
ly destroyed,  them,  and  all  the 
souls  that  were  therein ;  he  let 
none  remain :  and  he  did  to  the 
king  of  Mak-kS'dah  as  he  did 
unto  the  king  of  JeVi-ch5. 

29  Then  J5sh'u-a  passed  from 
Mak-ke'dah,  and  all  Is'ra-el  witn 
him,  unto  LIb'nah,  and  fought 
against  LIb'nah : 

30  And  the  Lord  delivered  it 
also,  and  the  king  thereof,  into 
the  hand  of  lg'ra-el;  and  he 
smote  it  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword,  and  all  the  souls  that 
were  therein;  he  let  none  re- 
main in  it;  but  did  unto  the 
king  thereof  as  he  did  unto  the 
king  of  Jerl-chB. 

31  If  And  Jfeh'u-a  passed  from 
LIb'nah,  and  all  Ijs'ra-el  with 
him,  unto  La'chish,  and  en- 
camped against  it,  and  fought 
against  it : 

32  And  the  Lord  delivered 
La'chish  into  the  hand  of  lg'- 
ra-el, which  took  it  on  the  sec- 
ond day,  and  smote  it  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword,  and  all  the 
souls  that  were  therein,  accord- 
ing to  all  that  he  had  done  to 
Ub'nah. 

33  When  HS'ram  king  of  G&- 
tSt  came  up  to  help  La'chish; 
and  Jfeh'u-a  smote  him  and  his 
people,  until  he  had  left  him 
none  remaining. 

34  lAnd  from  La'chish  J5sh'- 
u-a  passed  unto  £g15n,  and  all 
Is'ra-el  with  him ;  and  they  en- 
camped against  it,  and  fought 
against  it : 

35  And  they  took  it  on  that 
day,  and  smote  it  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword,  and  all  the  souls

that  were  therein  he  utterly  de- 
stroyed that  day,  according  to 
all  that  he  had  done  to  La'chish. 

36  And  Jdsh'u-a  went  up  from 
£g!5n,  and  all  ls/ra-el  with  him, 
unto  Hebron ;  and  they  fought 
against  it : 

37  And  they  took  it,  and 
smote  it  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword,  and  the  king  thereof, 
and  all  the  cities  thereof,  and 
all  the  souls  that  were  there- 
in ;  he  left  none  remaining,  ac- 
cording to  all  that  he  had  done 
to  EgTdn ;  but  destroyed  it  ut- 
terly, and  all  the  souls  that 
were  therein. 

38  %  And  J6sh'u-a  returned, 
and  all  ls'ra-el  with  him,  to 
DeTnr;  and  fought  against  it: 

39  And  he  took  it,  and  the 
king  thereof,  and  all  the  cities 
thereof;  and  they  smote  them 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword, 
and  utterly  destroyed  all  the 
souls  that  were  therein;  he 
left  none  remaining:  as  he  had 
done  to  HS'bron,  so  he  did  to 
Delrir,  and  to  the  king  there- 
of;  as  he  had  done. also  to  Lib'- 
nah,  and  to  her  king. 

40  1  So  Jdsh'u-a  smote  all  the 
country  of  the  hills,  and  of  the 
south,  and  of  the  vale,  and 
of  the  springs,  and  all  their 
kings:  he  left  none  remain- 
ing, but  utterly  destroyed  all 
that  breathed,  as  the  Lord  God 
of  Is/ra-el  commanded. 

41  And  Jdsh'u-6  smote  them 
from  Ka'desh-bayne-a  even  un- 
to Ga"za,  and  all  the  country  of 
Go'shen,  even  unto  GIb'e-on. 

42  And  all  these  kings  and 
their  land  did  Jfoh'u-a  take  at 
one  time,  because  the  Lord  God 
of  ls/ra-el  fought  for  ls'ra-el. 

43  And  J6sh  u-a  returned,  and 
all  Is/ra-el  with  him,  unto  the 
camp  to  GU'g&l. 

CHAPTER  11 

Divers  kings  overcome  at  the  waters

The  land  subdued. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Ja'bin  kin?  of  Ha'zdr  had 
heard  those  things,  that  he 
sent  to  J5T)fib  king  of  Mft'dfln, 
and  to  the  king  of  Shim'rdn, 
and  to  the  king  of  Ach'shfiph, 

2  And  to  the  Icings  that  were 
on  the  north  of  the  mountains, 
and  of  the  plains  south  of 
Chin'ne-rBth,  and  in  the  val- 
ley, and  in  the  borders  of  Dor 
on  the  west, 

3  And  to  the  Ca'n&an-ite  on 
the  east  and  on  the  west,  and 
to  the  Am'dr-ite,  and  the  Hit'- 
tite,  and  the  Perls-rite,  and  the 


JSb'u-site  in  the  mountains,  and 
to  the  Hi'vite  under  Her'mon  in 
the  land  of  Miz'peh. 

4  And  they  went  out,  they 
and  all  their  hosts  with  them, 
much  people,  even  as  the  sand 
that  is  upon  the  sea  shore  in 
multitude,  with  horses  and 
chariots  very  many. 

5  And  when  all  these  kings 
were  met  together,  they  came 
and  pitched  together  at  the  wa- 
ters of  Me'rom,  to  fight  against 
Ig'ra-el. 

6  HAnd  the  Lord  said  unto 
J6sh'u-a,  Be  not  afraid  because 
of  them:  for  to  morrow  about 
this  time  will  I  deliver  them  up 
all  slain  before  ls'ra-el:  thou 
shalt  hough  their  horses,  and 
burn  their  chariots  with  fire. 

7  So  Jdsh'u-a  came,  and  all 
the  people  of  war  with  him, 
against  them  by  the  waters  of 
Me'rom  suddenly;  and  they  fell 
upon  them. 

8  AndtheLoRDdeliveredthem 
into  the  hand  of  ls/ra-el,  who 
smote  them,  and  chased  them 
unto  great  Zi'ddn,  and  unto 
MIs're-ph6th-m&'im,  and  unto 
the  valley  of  Miz'peh  eastward ; 
and  they  smote  them,  until  they 
left  them  none  remaining. 

9  And  Jdsh'u-a  did  unto  them 
as  the  Lord  bade  him:  he 
houghed  their  horses,  and  burnt 
their  chariots  with  fire. 

10  HAnd  Josh'u-a%at  that  time 
turned  back,  and  took  Ha'zdr, 
and  smote  the  king  thereof 
with  the  sword :  for  Ha'zdr  be- 
foretime  was  the  head  of  all 
those  kingdoms. 

11  And  they  smote  all  the 
souls  that  were  therein  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword,  utterly 
destroying  them;  there  was 
not  any  left  to  breathe:  and  he 
burnt  Ha'zdr  with  fire. 

12  And  all  the  cities  of  those 
kings,  and  all  the  kings  of 
them,  did  Jdsh'u-a  take,  and 
smote  them  with  the  edge  of 
the  sword,  and  he  utterly  de- 
stroyed them,  as  MS'ses.  the 
servant  of  the  Lord  com 
manded. 

13  But  as  for  the  cities  that 
stood  still  in  their  strength,  Ig'- 
ra-el burned  none  of  them,  save 
Ha'zdr  only;  that  did  Jdsh'u-a 
burn. 

14  And  all  the  spoil  of  these 
cities,  and  the  cattle,  the  chil- 
dren of  ls/ra-el  took  for  a  prey 
unto  themselves;  but  every 
man  they  smote  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword,  until  they  had  de- 
stroyed them,  neither  left  they 
any  to  breathe.

15  As  the  Lord  commanded 
MiTseg  his  servant,  so  did  M5'- 
ges  command  J5sh'u-a,  and  so 
did  J5sh'u-a;  he  left  nothing 
undone  of  all  that  the  Lord 
commanded  Md'seg. 

16  So  Jflsh'u-a  took  all  that 
land,  the  hills,  and  all  the  south 
country,  and  all  the  land  of  Go'- 
shen,  and  the  valley,  and  the 
plain,  and  the  mountain  of  ls/ra- 
el,  and  the  valley  of  the  same ; 

17  Even  from  the  mount  Hfi'- 
12k,  that  goeth  up  to  Selr,  even 
unto  Ba'al-gad  in  the  valley  of 
LeVa-non  under  mount  Her- 
mon: and  all  their  kings  he 
took,  and  smote  them,  and  slew 
them. 

18  J&sh'u-a  made  war  a  long 
time  with  all  those  kings. 

19  There  was  not  a  city  that 
made  peace  with  the  children 
of  Is/ra-el,  save  the  Hi'vites 
the  inhabitants  of  Gib'e-on :  all 
other  they  took  in  battle. 

20  For  it  was  of  the  Lord  to 
harden  their  hearts,  that  they 
should  come  against  Is/ra-el  in 
battle,  that  he  might  destroy 
them  utterly,  and  that  they 
might  have  no  favour,  but  that 
he  might  destroy  them,  as  the 
Lord  commanded  M5'ses. 

21  HAnd  at  that  time  came 
J5sh'u-a,  and  cut  off  the  An'a- 
kirns,  from  the  mountains,  from 
He^bron,  from  De"bir,  from 
A'n&b,  and  from  all  the  moun- 
tains of  Ju'dah,  and  from  all 
the  mountains  of  Is/ra-el :  J6sh'- 
u-a  destroyed  them  utterly  with 
their  cities. 

22  There  was  none  of  the  An'* 
a-kims  left  in  the  land  of  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el :  only  in  Gfi'- 
za,  in  G&th,  and  in  Ash'd&d, 
there  remained. 

23  So  J5sh'u-a  took  the  whole 
land,  according  to  all  that  the 
Lord  said  unto  Mft'seg;  and 
Jdsh'u-a  gave  it  for  an  inherit- 
ance unto  ls/ra-el  according  to 
their  divisions  by  their  tribes. 
And  the  land  rested  from  war. 


CHAPTER  12 

The  two  kings  whose  countries  Moses 
took  and  disposed  of.  7  The  one 
and  thirty  kings  on  the  west  side 
of  Jordan  which  Joshua  smote. 

NOW  these  are  the  kings  of 
the  land,  which  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el  smote,  and  pos- 
sessed their  land  on  the  other 
side  Jdr'dan  toward  the  rising 
of  the  sun,  from  the  river  Ar- 
ndn  unto  mount  HeVmon,  and 
all  the  plain  on  the  east : 
2  Si'hCn  king  of  the  Am'dr- 
ites,  who  dwelt  in  He'sh'bd'n, 
and  ruled  from  Ar'o-e'r,  which 


is  upon  the  bank  of  the  river 
Ar'nfin,  and  from  the  middle  of 
the  river,  and  from  half  GH'e- 
fid,  even  unto  the  river  JaVbtik, 
which  is  the  border  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'm&n ; 

3  And  from  the  plain  to  the 
sea  of  Chin'ne-rdth  on  the  east, 
and  unto  the  sea  of  the  plain, 
even  the  salt  sea  on  the  east, 
the  way  to  B£th~j€sh'i-m5th ; 
and  from  the  south,  under  Ash'- 
ddth-pis/gah: 

4  And  the  coast  of  Og  king  of 
Ba'sh&n,  which  was  of  the 
remnant  of  the  giants,  that 
dwelt  at  Ash  ta-rdth  and  at 
Ed're-I, 

5  And  reigned  in  mount  Her- 
mon, and  in  S&Tcah,  and  in  all 
B&'sh&n,  unto  the  border  of  the 
Gesh'u-rites,  and  the  Ma-Sch'a- 
thites,  and  half  Gil'e-fid,  the 
border  of  Sfhon  king  of  Hesh'- 
bdn. 

6  Them  did  Md'ses  the  serv- 
ant of  the  LORD  and  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el  smite :  and  Md'- 
ses the  servant  of  the  Lord 
gave  it  for  a  possession  unto 
the  Reu/ben*ites,  and  the  Gad' 
ites,  and  the  half  tribe  of  MS- 
nas'seh. 

7  tAnd  these  are  the  kings 
of  the  country  which  J5sh'u-a 
and  the  children  of  ls/ra-cl 
smote  on  this  side  Jor'dan  on 
the  west,  from  B&'al-g&d  in  the 
valley  of  LeVa-non  even  unto 
the  mount  Halfik,  that  goeth 
up  to  S€lr;  which  J6sh'u-a 
gave  unto  the  tribes  of  ls/ra-el 
for  a  possession  according  to 
their  divisions ; 

8  In  the  mountains,  and  in  the 
valleys,  and  in  the  plains,  and 
in  the  springs,  and  in  the  wil- 
derness, and  m  the  south  coun- 
try; the  Hlf  rites,  the  Am'dr- 
ites,  and  the  Cfi'naan-ites,  the 
Perlz-zites,  the  Hi'vites,  and 
the  JeVu-sites : 

9  The  king  of  JeVf-chS,  one; 
the  king  of  A1,  which  is  beside 
B€th'-el,  one; 

10  The  king  of  J&Tu'sa-lem,

all  the  kings  thirty  and  one. 

CHAPTER  13 

Bounds  of  the  land  not  yet  conquered. 
15  The  two  tribe*  and  half,  and 
tribe  of  Levi*  excepted.  22  Balaam 
slain. 

NOW  Jflsh'u^a  was  old  and 
stricken  in  years ;  and  the 
Lord  said  unto  him,  Thou  art 
old  and  stricken  in  years,  and 
there  remaineth  yet  very  much 
land  to  be  possessed. 

2  This  is  the  land  that  yet  re- 
maineth :  all  the  borders  of  the 
Phi-Hs'tinea,  and  all  Gesh'u-ri, 

3  From  Silidr,  which  is  be- 
fore E'&Jpt,  even  unto  the 
borders  of  Ek'rSn  northward, 
which  is  counted  to  the  Cfi'- 
naan-ite :  five  lords  of  the  Phl- 
lis'tlnes;  the  G&'zath-ites,  and 
the  Ash'dfth-ites,  the  £shlta- 
ldn-ites,  the  Git'tites,  and  the 
£k'ron-ites ;  also  the  A'vites : 

4  From  the  south,  all  the  land 
of  the  Ca'nSan-ltes,  and  Mc-a - 
rah  that  is  beside  the  Si-dd'ni- 
ana,  unto  A'phek,  to  the  borders 
of  the  Am'dr-ites : 

5  And  the  land  of  the  Gib'- 
lites,  and  all  LeVa-non,  toward 
the  sunrising,  from  B&'al-ggd 
under  mount  Her'mon  unto  the 
entering  into  Ha'math. 

6  All  the  inhabitants  of  the 
hill  country  from  L£b'a-non 
unto  Mls're-phSth-ma'im,  and 
all  the  Si-do'm-ans,  them  will  I 
drive  out  from  before  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el:  only  divide 
thou  it  by  lot  unto  the  Ig'ra-el- 
ites  for  an  inheritance,  as  I 
have  commanded  thee. 

7  Now  therefore  divide  this 
land  for  an  inheritance  unto 
the  nine  tribes,  and  the  half 
tribe  of  Ma-nfis'seh, 

8  With  whom  the  Reu/ben-ites 
and  the  G&dltes  have  received 
their  inheritance,  which  Mo'seg 
gave  them,  beyond  JorMan  east- 
ward,  even  as  M5'ges  the  servant 
of  the  Lord  gave  them; 

9  From  Ar"o-er,  that  is  upon 
the  bank  of  the  river  Ar'ndn, 


and  the  city  that  is  in  the 
midst  of  the  river,  and  all  the 
plain  of  M£d'e-ba  unto  DiTrin ; 

10  And  all  the  cities  of  Sfh6n 
king  of  the  Am'dr-ltes,  which 
reigned  in  Hesh'bdn,  unto  the 
border  of  the  children  of  Am'- 
mdn; 

11  And  GU'e-fid,  and  the  border 
of  the  Gesh'u-rites  and  MMch'- 
a-thftes,  and  all  mount  Her^non, 
and  all  Ba'shfin  unto  SaTcah ; 

12  All  the  kingdom  of  Og  in 
Bi'sh&n,  which  reigned  in  Ash'- 
ta-rdth  and  in  Ed're-i,  who  re- 
mained of  the  remnant  of  the 
giants:  for  these  did  Md'aeg 
smite,  and  cast  them  out 

13  Nevertheless  the  children 
of  ls'ra-el  expelled  not  the 
Gesh'u-rites,  nor  the  Mfi-fich'a- 
thites:  but  the  Gesh'u-rites  and 
the  Ma-ach'a-thlteft  dwell  among 
the  lg'ra-el-ites  until  this  day. 

14  Only  unto  the  tribe  of  Li'vi 
he  gave  none  inheritance;  the 
sacrifices  of  the  Lord  God  of 
Is/ra-el  made  by  fire  are  their  in- 
heritance, as  he  said  unto  them. 

15  HAnd  Mo'ses  gave  unto  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  Reu'- 
ben  inheritance  according  to 
their  families. 

16  And  their  coast  was  from 
Ar'-oer,  that  is  on  the  bank  of 
the  river  Ar'nSn,  and  the  city 
that  is  in  the  midst  of  the  river, 
and  all  the  plain  by  MSd'e-ba ; 

17  Hesh'bdn,  and  all  her  cities 
that  are  in  the  plain;  DTbon, 
and  Ba'moth-ba'al,  and  B£th- 
bfi'al-me'on, 

18  And  Ja-ha'za,  and  K€d'e- 
mftth,  and  Meph'a-ftth, 

19  And  Kir-jath-a'im,and  Sib' 
mah,  and  Za'reth-shlTnar  in  the 
mount  of  the  valley, 

20  And  Beth-pe  or,  and  Ash'- 
d&th-pia'gah,  and  Bfith-jesh'i- 
m6th, 

21  And  all  the  cities  of  the 
plain,  and  all  the  kingdom  of 
SiliSn  king  of  the  Am  or-Ites, 
which  reigned  in  Hesh'bdn, 
whom  Md'ses.  smote  with  the 

Srinces  of  Midl-an,  E'vi,  and 
le'kem,  and  Zur,  and  Hfir,  and 
R€l)a,  which  were  dukes  of  ST- 
hdn,  dwelling  in  the  country. 

22  IT  Balaam  also  the  son  of 
Be'or,  the  soothsayer,  did  the 
children  of  fo'ra-el  slay  with 
the  sword  among  them  that 
were  slain  by  them. 

23  And  the  border  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Reu'ben  was  Jor'dan, 
and  the  border  thereof  This 
was  the  inheritance  of  the 
children  of  Reuben  after  their 
families,  the  cities  and  the  vil- 
lages thereof.

24  IfAnd  MS'ses  gave  inherit- 
ance unto  the  tribe  of  Gad,  even 
unto  the  children  of  Gfid  ac- 
cording to  their  families. 

25  And  their  coast  was  Ja'zer, 
and  all  the  cities  of  GiTe-fid, 
and  half  the  land  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mOn,  unto  Ar'o-er 
that  is  before  RaVbah ; 

26  And  from  H&h'bon  unto 
Ra'math-mfc'peh,  and  BeTo- 
nim;  and  from  Ma-ha-nft'im 
unto  the  border  of  Delrir; 

27  And  in  the  valley,  Beth-T- 
ram, and  BSth-nim'rah,  and 
Suc'coth,  and  Za'phSn,  the  rest 
of  the  kingdom  of  Sfhdn  king  of 
Hesh'bfin,  JorMan  and  his  bor- 
der, even  unto  the  edge  of  the 
sea  of  Chln'ne-rgth  on  the  other 
side  Jdrtlan  eastward. 

28  This  is  the  inheritance  of 
the  children  of  GSd  after  their 
families,  the  cities,  and  their 
villages. 

29  1  And  Md'ges  gave  inherit- 
ance unto  the  half  tribe  of  Ma 
naa'seh:  and  this  was  the  pos- 
session of  the  half  tribe  of  the 
children  of  M&'n&s'seh  by  their 
families. 

30  And  their  coast  was  from 
Ma-hfi-na'ira,  all  BTshfin,  all  the 
kingdom  of  Og  king  of  Ba'shfin, 
and  all  the  towns  ofJS'ir,  which 
are  in  BS'shfin,  threescore  cities : 

31  And  half  Gil'e4d,  and  Ash'- 
ta-rfth,  and  fid're-I,  cities  of  the 
kingdom  of  Og  in  Ba'shfin,  were 
pertaining  unto  the  children  of 
Mfi'chir  the  son  of  Mfi-nas'seh, 
even  to  the  one  half  of  the 
children  of  Mfi'chu*  by  their 
families. 

32  These  are  the  countries 
which  MS'ses  did  distribute  for 
inheritance  in  the  plains  of 
M5'ab,  on  the  other  side  Jor- 
dan, by  J£rl-ch5,  eastward. 

33  But  unto  the  tribe  of  Le'vi 
Mo'aes,  gave  not  any  inherit- 
ance :  the  Lord  God  of  lg'ra-el 
was  their  inheritance,  as  he 
said  unto  them. 

CHAPTER  14 
The  nine  tribet  and  an  half  to  have 
their  inheritance  by  lot. 

AND  these  are  the  countries 
which  the  children  of  Is' 
ra-el  inherited  in  the  land  of 
C&'nfian,  which  E-le-ft'zar  the 

Sriest,  and  Joah'u-a  the  son  of 
fin,  and  the  heads  of  the  fa 
thers  of  the  tribes  of  the  chil- 
dren of  ls/ra-el,  distributed  for 
inheritance  to  them. 
2  By  lot  was  their  inherit- 
ance, as  the  Lord  commanded 
by  the  hand  of  NS'seg,  for  the 
nine  tribes,  and  for  the  half 
tribe, 


3  For  Mo'seg  had  given  the1 
inheritance  of  two  tribes  and 
an  half  tribe  on  the  other  side 
Jor'dan:  but  unto  the  La'vites 
he  gave  none  inheritance 
among  them. 

4  For  the  children  of  JS'seph 
were  two  tribes,  Ma-nfis'seh  and 
£'phr&*im :  therefore  they  gave 
no  part  unto  the  Le'vites  in  the 
land,  save  cities  to  dwell  in, 
with  their  suburbs  for  their 
cattle  and  for  their  substance. 

5  As  the  Lord  commanded 
Md'geg,  so  the  children  of  I§'- 
ra-el  did,  and  they  divided  the 
land. 

6  TThen  the  children  of  Ju'- 
dah  came  unto  J6sh'u-a  in  Gil' 
gal:  and  Caleb  the  son  of  J$- 
phun'neh  the  Ken'ez-ite  said  un- 
to him,  Thou  knowest  the  thing 
that  the  Lord  said  unto  Md'ges 
the  man  of  God  concerning  me 
and  thee  in  Ka'desh-bar'ne-a. 

7  Forty  years  old  was  I  when 
Md'ges  the  servant  of  the  Lord 
sent  me  from  Ka'desh-bar'ne-a 
to  espy  out  the  land;  and  I 
brought  him  word  again  as  it 
was  in  mine  heart 

8  Nevertheless   my   brethren 
that  went  up  with  me  made 
the  heart  of  the  people  melt 
but  I  wholly  followed  the  Lord 
my  God. 

9  And  Md'ges  sware  on  that 
day,  saying,  Surely  the  land 
whereon  thy  feet  have  trodden 
shall  be  thine  inheritance,  and 
thy  children's  for  ever,  because 
thou  hast  wholly  followed  the 
Lord  my  God. 

10  And  now,  behold,  the  Lord 
hath  kept  me  alive,  as  he  said, 
these  forty  and  five  years,  even 
since  the  Lord  spake  this  word 
unto  Md'ges,  while  the  children 
of  Ig'ra-el  wandered  in  the 
wilderness :  and  now,  lo,  I  am 
this  day  fourscore  and  five 
years  old. 

11  As  yet  I  am  as  strong  this 
day  as  /  was  in  the  day  that 
Md'geg  sent  me :  as  my  strength 
was  then,  even  so  is  my 
strength  now,  for  war,  both 
to  go  out,  and  to  come  in. 

12  Now  therefore  give  me  this 
mountain,  whereof  the  Lord 
spake  in  that  day;  for  thou 
heardest  in  that  day  how  the  An'- 
a-kimg  were  there,  and  that  the 
cities  were  great  and  fenced: 
if  so  be  the  Lord  will  be  with 
me,  then  I  shall  be  able  to  drive 
them  out,  as  the  Lord  said, 

13  And  Jdsh'u-a  blessed  him, 
and  gave  unto  Caleb  the  son  of 
Je-phun'neh  He'bron  for  an  in- 
heritance.

14  HeT>ron  therefore  became 
the  inheritance  of  Caleb  the 
son  of  Je-phun'neh  the  Ken'ez- 
ite  unto  this  day,  because  that 
he  wholly  followed  the  Lord 
God  of  Ig'ra-eL 

15  And  the  name  of  He'- 
bron  before  was  Kir'jath-ar'- 
ba;  which  Ar*ba  was  a  great 
man  among  the  An'a-kima,  And 
the  land  had  rest  from  war. 

CHAPTER  15 

Border*  of  the  lot  of  Judah.  \l  Caleb's 
portion  and  conquest.  16  Othniel, 
for  hie  valour,  hath  Acheah  to  wife. 
21  Citiee  of  Judah.  63  TheJebusitee 
not  conquered. 

THIS  then  was  the  lot  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of 
Ju'-dah  bv  their  families;  even 
to  the  border  of  E'dom  the 
wilderness  of  Zin  southward 
was  the  uttermost  part  of  the 
south  coast 

2  And  their  south  border  was 
from  the  shore  of  the  salt  sea, 
from  the  bay  that  looketh 
southward : 

3  And  it  went  out  to  the  south 
side  to  Ma-aTeh-&-craVbim,  and 
passed  along  to  Zin,  and  ascend- 
ed up  on  the  south  side  unto 
Ka'desh-bar'ne-a,  and  passed 
along  to  HeVrtin,  and  went  up 
to  A'dar,  and  fetched  a  com- 
pass to  KaVka-a : 

4  From  thence  it  passed  to- 
ward Az'mftn,  and  went  out 
unto  the  river  of  E'fcypt;  and 
the  goings  out  of  that  coast 
were  at  the  sea :  this  shall  be 
your  south  coast 

5  And  the  east  border  was  the 
salt  sea,  even  unto  the  end  of 
JoVdan.  And  their  border  in 
the  north  quarter  was  from  the 
bay  of  the  sea  at  the  uttermost 
part  of  JoVdan : 

6  And  the  border  went  up  to 
Beth-hogla,  and  passed  along 
by  the  north  of  Kth-ar'a-bah ; 
and  the  border  went  up  to  the 
stone  of  BChfin  the  son  of 
Reu'ben : 

7  And  the  border  went  up 
toward  De'bir  from  the  valley 
of  A'chdr,  and  so  northward, 
looking  toward  GU'g&l,  that  is 
before  the  going  up  to  A-dum'- 
mim,  which  is  on  the  south 
side  of  the  river :  and  the  bor- 
der passed  toward  the  waters 
of  £n-sh§'mesh,  and  the  goings 
out  thereof  were  at  £n-r5'gel : 

8  And  the  border  went  up  by 
the  valley  of  the  son  of  Hin  nom 
unto  the  south  side  of  the  JeV- 
u-site ;  the  same  is  Je-ru'sa-lem : 
and  the  border  went  up  to  the 
top  of  the  mountain  that  lieth 
before  the  valley  of  HIn'nom 


westward,  which  is  at  the  end 
of  the  valley  of  the  giants 
northward : 

9  And  the  border  was  drawn 
from  the  top  of  the  hill  unto 
the  fountain  of  the  water  of 
Neph'to-ah,  and  went  out  to  the 
cities  of  mount  E'phron;  and 
the  border  was  drawn  to  Ba'al- 
ah,  which  is  Kir'jath-je'a-rim : 

10  And  the  border  compassed 
from  Ba'al-ah  westward  unto 
mount  Se'ir,  and  passed  along 
unto  the  side  of  mount  J€'a-rim, 
which  is  Ches'a-ldn,  on  the 
north  side,  and  went  down  to 
Bgth-shg'mesh,  and  passed  on 
to  Tlm'nah : 

11  And  the  border  went  out 
unto  the  side  of  £k'r6n  north- 
ward: and  the  border  was 
drawn  to  Shi'cron,  and  passed 
along  to  mount  Bfi'al-ah,  and 
went  out  unto  Jfib'ne-el ;  and  the 
goings  out  of  the  border  were 
at  the  sea. 

12  And  the  west  border  was 
to  the  great  sea,  and  the  coast 
thereof?  This  is  the  coast  of 
the  children  of  Ju'dah  round 
about  according  to  their  fam- 
ilies. 

13  ITAnd  unto  Caleb  the  son 
of  J£-phun'neh  he  gave  a  part 
among  the  children  of  Ju'dah, 
according  to  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  to  JQsh'u-a,  even  the 
city  of  Ar'ba  the  father  of  A'n&k, 
which  city  is  Hebron. 

14  And  Caleb  drove  thence 
the  three  sons  of  A'nfik,  She'- 
shSi,  and  A-hi'man,  and  TaT- 
mai,  the  children  of  A'n&k. 

15  And  he  went  up  thence  to 
the  inhabitants  of  De'bir :  and 
the  name  of  De'bir  before  was 
Kir'jath-sS'pher. 

16  And  Caleb  said,  He  that 
smiteth  Kir'jath-se'phe'r,  and 
taketh  it,  to  him  will  I  give 
Ach'sah  my  daughter  to  wife. 

17  And  Oth'ni-el  the  son  of 
KS'n&z,  the  brother  of  Caleb, 
took  it:  and  he  gave  him  Ach'- 
sah his  daughter  to  wife. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
she  came  unto  him,  that  she 
moved  him  to  ask  of  her  father 
a  field :  and  she  lighted  off  her 
ass ;  and  Caleb  said  unto  her, 
What  wouldestthou? 

19  Who  answered,  Give  me  a 
blessing;  for  thou  hast  given

her  the  upper  springs,  and  the

CHAPTER  16 

The  general  borders  of  the  eons  of 
Joseph.  5  The  borders  of  the  in- 
heritance afEphraim.  10  The  Ccu- 
naanites  not  conquered. 

AND  the  lot  of  the  children 
of  Jo'seph  fell  from  Jor- 
dan by  Jerl-cho,  unto  the 
water  of  Jer1-ch5  on  the  east, 
to  the  wilderness  that  goeth 
up  from  Jexl-cho  throughout 
mount  B€th'-el, 

2  And  goeth  out  from  B£th'-el 
to  Luz,  and  passeth  along  unto 
the  borders  of  Ar'chi  to  At'a- 
r8th, 

3  And  goeth  down  westward 
to  the  coast  of  Japh-le'ti,  unto 
the  coast  of  B5th-h5'r5n  the 
nether,  and  to  Ge'zer :  and  the 
goings  out  thereof  are  at  the 
sea. 

4  So  the  children  of  Jo'seph, 
Ma-nas'seh  and  E'phraim,  took 
their  inheritance. 

5  11  And  the  border  of  the  chil- 
dren of  E'phrS-lm  according  to 
their  families  was  thus :  even

on  the  east  side  was  At'a-r5th- 
Sd'dar,  unto  BSth-ho'r6n  the 
upper; 

6  And  the  border  went  out 
toward  the  sea  to  Mich'me-thah 
on  the  north  side ;  and  the  bor- 
der went  about  eastward  unto 
T&'a-n&th-shfldh,  and  passed 
by  it  on  the  east  to  Ja-no'hah ; 

7  And  it  went  down  from  Ja- 
no'hah  to  At'a-r6th,  and  to  N&'- 
a-rfith,  and  came  to  J£rf-ch5, 
and  went  out  at  JSrMan. 

8  The  border  went  out  from 
Tfip'pu-ah  westward  unto  the 
river  Ka'nah;  and  the  goings 
out  thereof  were  at  the  sea. 
This  is  the  inheritance  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  ETphrfi- 
1m  by  their  families. 

9  And  the  separate  cities  for 
the  children  of  E'phrfi-Im  were 
among  the  inheritance  of  the 
children  of  Ma-n&s'seh,  all  the 
cities  with  their  villages. 

10  And  they  drave  not  out 
the  Ca'n&an-Ites  that  dwelt  in 
G€'ze"r:  but  the  Ca'nSan-Ites 
dwell  among  the  E'phra-Im-ites 
unto  this  day,  and  serve  under 
tribute. 

CHAPTER  17 
Lot  of  Manasseh :  7  his  coast.    12  Ca- 
naanites not  driven  out.    14  The 
children  of  Joseph  sue  for  another 
lot. 

THERE  was  also  a  lot  for  the 
tribe  of  Ma-n&s'seh ;  for  he 
was  the  firstborn  of  Jo'seph; 
to  wit,  for  Ma'chir  the  firstborn 
of  M&-n&s'seh,  the  father  of 
Gfl'e-&d :  because  he  was  a  man 
of  war,  therefore  he  had  Gil'i 
ad  and  Ba'sh&n. 

2  There  was  also  a  lot  for  the 
rest  of  the  children  of  Ma-naV- 
seh  by  their  families;  for  the 
children  of  A-bf-e'zer,  and  for 
the  children  of  HSlSk,  and  for 
the  children  of  As'ri-el,  and  for 
the  children  of  She'chem,  and 
for  the  children  of  He'pher, 
and  for  the  children  of  ShS- 
mi'da:  these  were  the  male 
children  of  Ma-n&s'seh  the  son 
of  Jo'seph  by  their  families. 

3  ITBut  ZS-ld'phe-had,  the  son 
of  He'pher,  the  son  of  GU'e-ad, 
the  son  of  Ma'chir,  the  son  of 
Ma-n&s'seh,  had  no  sons,  but 
daughters:  and  these  are  the 
names  of  his  daughters,  Man' 
lah,  and  No'ah,  HSglah,  MIT- 
cah,  and  Tir'zah. 

4  And  they  came  near  before 
E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and  be- 
fore J5sh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun, 
and  before  the  princes,  say- 
ing, The  Lord  commanded 
M5'aes.  to  give  us  an  inher- 
itance among  our  brethren. 
{Therefore    according    to    the 


commandment  of  the  Lord 
he  gave  them  an  inheritance 
among  the  brethren  of  their 
father. 

5  And  there  fell  ten  portions 
to  Ma-n&s'seh,  beside  tne  land 
of  Gil'e-ad  and  Ba'sh&n,  which 
were  on  the  other  side  JSr'dan ; 

6  Because  the  daughters  of 
Ma-nas'seh  had  an  inheritance 
among  his  sons:  and  the  rest 
of  Ma-n&s'seh's  sons  had  the 
land  of  Gil'e-ad. 

7  IFAnd  the  coast  of  Ma-nas'- 
seh was  from  Ash'er  to  Mlch'- 
me-thah, that  lieth  before  She'- 
chem; and  the  border  went 
along  on  the  right  hand  unto 
the  inhabitants  of  En-t&p'pi. 

8  Now  Ma-n&s'seh  had '  the 
land  of  Tap'pu-ah:  but  Tfip'- 
pu-ah  on  the  border  of  MS-nas'- 
seh  belonged  to  the  children  of 
E'phrfi-im ; 

9  And  the  coast  descended 
unto  the  river  K&'nah,  south- 
ward of  the  river:  these  cities 
of  G'phra-un  are  among  the 
cities  of  Ma-nas'seh :  the  coast 
of  Ma-nas'seh  also  was  on  the 
north  side  of  the  river,  and  the 
outgoings  of  it  were  at  the  sea : 

10  Southward  it  was  E'phrS- 
Im's,  and  northward  it  was  Ma- 
nfis'seh's,  and  the  sea  is  his  bor- 
der; and  they  met  together  in 
Ash'er  on  the  north,  and  in  Is'- 
sa-char  on  the  east 

11  And  Ma-n&s'seh  had  in  Is'- 
sa-char  and  in  Ash'er  BSth-shS'- 
an  and  her  towns,  and  Ible-ftm 
and  her  towns,  and  the  inhabit- 
ants of  Dor  and  her  towns,  and 
the  inhabitants  of  En'-dor  and 
her  towns,  and  the  inhabitants 
of  T&'a-nfich  and  her  towns,  and 
the  inhabitants  of  MS-gid'do 
and  her  towns,  even  three  coun- 
tries. 

12  Yet  the  children  of  Ma-nas' 
seh  could  not  drive  out  the  in- 
habitants of  those  cities ;  but 
the  C&'n&an-ites  would  dwell  in 
that  land. 

13  Yet  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  children  of  Igra-el  were 
waxen  strong,  that  they  put  the 
Ca'n&an-ites  to  tribute ;  but  did 
not  utterly  drive  them  out 

14  1TAnd  the  children  of  Jo'- 
seph spake  unto  Jdsh'u-a,  say- 
ing, Why  hast  thou  given  me 
but  one  lot  and  one  portion  to 
inherit,  seeing  I  am  a  great 
people,  forasmuch  as  the  Lord 
hath  blessed  me  hitherto  ? 

15  And  J5sh'u-a  answered 
them,  If  thou  be  a  great  peo- 
ple, then  get  thee  up  to  the 
wood  country,  and  cut  down 
for  thyself  there  in  the  land  of

16  And  the  children  of  JO'seph 
said,  The  hill  is  not  enough  for 
us:  and  all  the  Cft'naan-ites 
that  dwell  in  the  land  of  the 
valley  have  chariots  of  iron, 
both  they  who  are  of  BSth- 
sh&'an  and  her  towns,  and  they 
who  are  of  the  valley  of  Jetf-

17  And  J&sh'u-a  spake  unto  the 
house  of  J5'seph,  even  to  E'phrfi- 
1m  and  to  Ma-naYseh,  saying, 
Thou  art  a  great  people,  and 
hast  great  power:  thou  shalt 
not  have  one  lot  only  : 

18  But  the  mountain  shall  be 
thine;  for  it  is  a  wood,  and  thou 
shalt  cut  it  down :  and  the  out 
goings  of  it  shall  be  thine:  for 
thou  shalt  drive  out  the  C&'- 
naan-ftes,  though  they  have 
iron  chariots,  and  though  they 
be  strong. 

CHAPTER  18 

Th+tabernacU  iemtupat  Shtiok.  2 
The  remainder  of  the  land  is  d&~ 
eeribed,  10  and  divided  by  lot.  11 
The  lot  and  border  of  Benjamin, 
21  Their  cities. 

AND  the  whole  congregation 
of  the  children  of  !g'ra-el 
assembled  together  at  ShilOh, 
and  set  up  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation  there.  And  the 
land  was  subdued  before  them. 

2  And  there  remained  among 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  seven 
tribes,  which  had  not  yet  re- 
ceived their  inheritance. 

3  And  Jdsh'u-a  said  unto  the 
children  of  ls/ra-el,  How  long 
are  ye  slack  to  go  to  possess 
the  land,  which  the  Lord  God 
of  your  fathers  hath  given  you  ? 

4  Give  out  from  among  you 
three  men  for  each  tribe :  and 
I  will  send  them,  and  they  shall 
rise,  and  go  through  the  land, 
and  describe  it  according  to  the 
inheritance  of  them ;  and  they 
shall  come  again  to  me. 

5  And  they  shall  divide  it  into 
seven  parts:  Ju'dah  shall  abide 
in  their  coast  on  the  south,  and 
the  house  of  Jd'seph  shall  abide 
in  their  coasts  on  the  north. 

6  Ye  shall  therefore  describe 
the  land  into  seven  parts,  and 
bring  the  description  hither  to 
me,  that  I  may  cast  lots  for  you 
here  before  the  Lord  our  God. 

7  But  the  LS'vItes  have  no 
part  among  you;  for  the  priest- 
hood of  the  Lord  is  their  in- 
heritance :  and  Gad,  and  Ren'- 
ben,  and  half  the  tribe  of  Ma- 
naa'seh,  have  received  their  in- 
heritance beyond  JdVdan   on 


the  east,  which  Md'segthe  serv- 
ant of  the  Lord  gave  them. 

8  1  And  the  men  arose,  and 
went  away:  and  Josh'u-a 
charged  them  that  went  to 
describe  the  land,  saying,  Go 
and  walk  through  the  land, 
and  describe  it,  and  come 
again  to  me,  that  I  may  here 
cast  lots  for  you  before  the 
Lord  in  ShilOh. 

9  And  the  men  went  and 
passed  through  the  land,  and 
described  it  by  cities  into  seven 
parts  in  a  book,  and  came  again 
to  J5sh'u-a  to  the  host  at  Shll5h. 

10  And  J&sh'u-a  cast  lots  for 
them  in  ShHOh  before  the 
Lord:  and  there  Josh'u-a  di 
vided  the  land  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  according  to 
their  divisions. 

11  ITAnd  the  lot  of  the  tribe  of 
the  children  of  Ben'ja-mln  came 
up  according  to  their  families : 
and  the  coast  of  their  lot  came 
forth  between  the  children  of 
Ju'dah  and  the  children  of 
Joseph. 

12  And  their  border  on  the 
north  side  was  from  Jdr'dan; 
and  the  border  went  up  to  the 
side  of  Je¥l-ch6  on  the  north 
side,  and  went  up  through  the 
mountains  westward;  and  the 
goings  out  thereof  were  at  the 
wilderness  of  Bfcth-a'ven. 

13  And  the  border  went  over 
from  thence  toward  Luz,  to  the 
side  of  Luz,  which  is  BSth'-el, 
southward;  and  the  border  de- 
scended to  At'a-r6th-§'dar,  near 
the  hill  that  lieth  on  the  south 
side  of  the  nether  Beth-hS'r8n. 

14  And  the  border  was  drawn 
thence,  and  compassed  the  cor- 
ner of  the  sea  southward,  from 
the  hill  that  lieth  before  Btth 
ho'rdn  southward;  and  the  go- 
ings out  thereof  were  at  Kir'- 
jath-ba'al,  which  is  Kir'iath- 
jg'a-rlm,  a  city  of  the  children 
of  Ja'dah:  this  was  the  west 
quarter. 

15  And  the  south  quarter  was 
from  the  end  of  Kir'jath-je'a- 
rim,  and  the  border  went  out 
on  the  west,  and  went  out  to 
the  well  of  waters  of  N8ph'- 
to-ah: 

16  And  the  border  came  down 
to  the  end  of  the  mountain  that 
lieth  before  the  valley  of  the 
son  of  Hfa'nom,  and  which  is 
in  the  valley  of  the  giants  on 
the  north,  and  descended  to  the 
valley  of  Hin'nom,  to  the  side 
of  Jfc-biTsi  on  the  south,  and  de-

17  And  was  drawn  from  the

18  And  passed  along  toward 
the  side  over  against  Ar'a-bah 
northward,  and  went  down  un- 
to Ar'a-bah : 

19  And  the  border  passed 
along  to  the  side  of  Bfith- 
hSglah  northward:  and  the 
outgoings  of  the  border  were 
at  the  north  bay  of  the  salt  sea 
at  the  south  end  of  JdrMan: 
this  was  the  south  coast 

20  And  Jordan  was  the  border 
of  it  on  the  east  side.  This  was 
the  inheritance  of  the  children 
of  Ben'ja-min,  by  the  coasts 
thereof  round  about,  according 
to  their  families. 

21  Now  the  cities  of  the  tribe

This  is  the  inheritance  of  the 
children  of  Ben'ja-min  accord- 
ing to  their  families. 

CHAPTER  19 

The  lot*  of  Simeon,  10  o/Zebulun,  17 
of  Usachar,  24  of  Asher,  32  of 
Naphtali.  40  and  of  Dan.  49  The 
children  of  Israel  give  an  inherit- 
ance to  Joshua. 

AND  the  second  lot  came 
forth  to  Sim'e-on,  even  for 
the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Sim'- 
e-on according  to  their  families : 
and  their  inheritance  was  with- 
in the  inheritance  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ju'dah. 

2  And  they  had  in  their  in- 
heritance B€'er-she'ba,  and

their  villages : 

8  And  all  the  villages  that 
were  round  about  these  cities 
to  Ba'al-ath-bg'er,  Ra'math  of 
the  south.  This  is  the  inherit- 
ance of  the  tribe  of  the  children 
of  Sim'e-on  according  to  their 
families. 

9  Out  of  the  portion  of  the 
children  of  Ju'dah  was  the  in- 
heritance of  the  children  of 
Sim'e-on:  for  the  part  of  the 
children  of  Ju'dah  was  too  much 
for  them:  therefore  the  chil- 
dren of  Sim'e-on  had  their  in- 
heritance within  the  inherit- 
ance of  them. 

10  f  And  the  third  lot  came  up 
for  the  children  of  ZeVu-lita  ac- 
cording to  their  families:  and 
the  border  of  their  inheritance 
was  unto  S&'rid: 

11  And  their  border  went  up 
toward  the  sea,  and  MaVa-lahf 
and  reached  to  DaVba-shgth, 
and  reached  to  the  river  that  is 
before  J5k'ne-&m ;

14  And  the  border  compasseth 
it  on  the  north  side  to  Han'na-

16  This  is  the  inheritance  of 
the  children  of  Zgb'u-hln  ac-

cities  with  their  villages. 

17  %And  the  fourth  lot  came

Jdr'dan :  sixteen  cities  with

23  This  %8  the  inheritance  of 
the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Is'- 
sa-char  according  to  their  fam- 
ilies, the  cities  and  their  vil-

24  1  And  the  fifth  lot  came 
out  for  the  tribe  of  the  children 
of  Ash'Sr  according  to  their

25  And  their  border  was  HeT-

Ach'sh&ph, 

26  Ana  A-lam'me-lech,  and

reacheth  to  CaVmel  westward, 
and  to  Shrhdr-llb'nath; 

27  And  turneth  toward  the

mek,  and  Ne-I'el,  and  goeth  out 
to  CftTrtll  on  the  left  hand, 

28  And  Hebron,  and  Rgliob, 
and  Ham'mdn,  and  K&'nah,  even 
unto  great  Zi'dftn; 

29  And  then  the  coast  turneth 
to  RS'mah,  and  to  the  strong 
city  Tyre ;  and  the  coast  turn- 
eth to  Ho'sah;  and  the  outgo- 
ings thereof  are  at  the  sea  from 
the  coast  to  Ach'rib: 

30  Om'mah  also,  and  A'phek, 
and  Re"hflb:  twenty  and  two 
cities  with  their  villages. 

31  This  is  the  inheritance  of 
the  tribe  of  the  children  of 
Ash'er  according  to  their  fami- 
lies, these  cities  with  their 
villages. 

32  HThe  sixth  lot  came  out  to 
the  children  of  Nfiph'ta-li,  even 
for  the  children  of  N&ph'ta-li 
according  to  their  families. 

33  And  their  coast  was  from 
Heleph,  from  Allon  to  Z3-a- 
n&n'nim,  and  Ad'a-mi,  Ne'keb, 
and  J&b'ne-el,  unto  Lalriim; 
and  the  outgoings  thereof  were 
at  Jdr'dan : 

34  And  then  the  coast  turneth 
westward  to  Az'noth-ta'bdr,  and 
goeth  out  from  thence  to  Hulf- 
kok,  and  reacheth  to  ZeVu-lun 
on  the  south  side,  and  reacheth 
to  Ash'er  on  the  west  side,  and 
to  Jfi'dah  upon  Jdr'dan  toward 
the  sunrising. 

35  And  the  fenced  cities  are 
ZTd'dim,  Zer,  and  Ham'math, 
RaVkath,  and  Chin'ne-rtth, 

36  And  Ad'a-mah,  and  Rd'mah, 
and  Ha'zor, 

37  And  Kfi'desh,  and  fid're-i, 
and  £n-ha'zor, 

,  38  And  I'ron,  and  MIg'dal-el, 


Ho'rem,  and  BSth-fi'nath,  and 
B£th-she'mesh ;  nineteen  cities 
with  their  villages. 

39  This  is  the  inheritance  of 
the  tribe  of  the  children  of 
N&ph'ta-li  according  to  their 
families,  the  cities  and  their 
villages. 

40  %And  the  seventh  lot  came 
out  for  the  tribe  of  the  children 
of  Dan  according  to  their  fami- 
lies. 

41  And  the  coast  of  their  in- 
heritance was  Zo'rah,  and  £sh'- 
ta-til,  and  Ir-she'mesh, 

42  And  SluVal-aVbin,  and  Aj'- 
a-15n,  and  JSthlah, 

43  And  Elfin,  and  Thlra'na- 
thah,  and  Ek'ron, 

44  And  El'te-keh,  and  Gib'be- 
thdn,  and  Ba'aUth, 

45  And  Je'hud,  and  Ben'e-b€'- 
r&k,  and  Gfith-rim'mon, 

46  And  Me-jar^on,  and  RSk'- 
kon,  with  the  border  before 
Ja'pho. 

47  And  the  coast  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Dan  went  out  too  little 
for  them:  therefore  the  chil- 
dren of  Dan  went  up  to  fight 
against  Le'shem,  and  took  it, 
and  smote  it  with  the  edge  of 
the  sword,  and  possessed  it,  and 
dwelt  therein,  and  called  Le'- 
shem, Dan,  after  the  name  of 
Dan  their  father. 

48  This  is  the  inheritance  of 
the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Dan 
according  to  their  families, 
these  cities  with  their  villages. 

49  H  When  they  had  made  an 
end  of  dividing  the  land  for  in- 
heritance by  their  coasts,  the 
children  of  ls/ra-el  gave  an  in- 
heritance to  J6sh'u-a  the  son  of 
Nun  among  them : 

50  According  to  the  word  of 
the  Lord  they  gave  him  the 
city  which  he  asked,  even  Tim'- 
nath-se'rah  in  mount  E'phrS- 
im :  and  he  built  the  city,  and 
dwelt  therein. 

51  These  are  the  inheritances, 
which  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and 
Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and 
the  heads  of  the  fathers  of  the 
tribes  of  the  children  of  I§'ra-el, 
divided  for  an  inheritance  by 
lot  in  Shiloh  before  the  Lord, 
at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation.  So  they  made 
an  end  of  dividing  the  country. 

CHAPTER  20 

The  Lord  commands,  7  and  the  Is-

spake  unto  you  by  the  hand  of 
MS'seg: 

3  That  the  slayer  that  killeth 
any  person  unawares  and  un- 
wittingly may  flee  thither :  and 
they  shall  be  your  refuge  from 
the  avenger  of  blood. 

4  And  when  he  that  doth  flee 
unto  one  of  those  cities  shall 
stand  at  the  entering  of  the 
gate  of  the  city,  and  shall  de- 
clare his  cause  in  the  ears  of 
the  elders  of  that  city,  they 
shall  take  him  into  the  city  un- 
to them,  and  give  him  a  place, 
that  he  may  dwell  among  them. 

5  And  if  the  avenger  of  blood 
pursue  after  him,  then  they 
shall  not  deliver  the  slayer  up 
into  his  hand ;  because  he  smote 
his  neighbour  unwittingly,  and 
hated  him  not  bef  oretime. 

6  And  he  shall  dwell  in  that 
city,  until  he  stand  before  the 
congregation  for  judgment,  and 
until  the  death  of  the  high 
priest  that  shall  be  in  those 
days:  then  shall  the  slaver  re- 
turn, and  come  unto  his  own 
city,  and  unto  his  own  house, 
unto  the  city  from  whence  he 
fled. 

7  IFAnd  they  appointed  K5' 
desh  in  Gan-lee  in  mount 
N&ph'ta-ll,  and  She'chem  in 
mount  E'phra-im,  and  Kir'jath- 
aVba,  which  is  Hebron,  in  the 
mountain  of  Jfi'dah. 

8  And  on  the  other  side  Jdr"- 
dan  by  J€rl-ch5  eastward,  they 
assigned  Be'zer  in  the  wilder- 
ness upon  the  plain  out  of  the 
tribe  of  Reulien,  and  Rfi'moth 
in  Gll'e-ad  out  of  the  tribe  of 
GSd,  and  Gdlan  in  BS'shfin  out 
of  the  tribe  of  MS-n&s'seh. 

9  These  were  the  cities  ap- 
pointed for  all  the  children  of 
ls'ra-el,  and  for  the  stranger 
that  sojourneth  among  them, 
that  whosoever  killeth  any  per- 
son at  unawares  might  flee 
thither,  and  not  die  by  the 
hand  of  the  avenger  of  blood, 
until  he  stood  before  the  con- 
gregation.

unto  J5sh'u-a  the  son  of  Nttn, 
and  unto  the  heads  of  the 
fathers  of  the  tribes  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el ; 
2  And  they  spake  unto  them 
at  ShilOh  in  the  land  of  Cfi' 
n&an,  saying,  The  Lord  com- 


manded by  the  hand  of  MS'ges. 
to  give  us  cities  to  dwell  in, 
with  the  suburbs  thereof  for 
our  cattle. 

3  And  the  children  of  la'ra-el 
gave  unto  the  Le'vites  out  of 
their  inheritance,  at  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord,  these 
cities  and  their  suburbs. 

4  And  the  lot  came  out  for 
the  families  of  the  K6liath-ite* 
and  the  children  of  Afir'on  the 
priest,  which  were  of  the  Lt- 
vites,  had  by  lot  out  of  the 
tribe  of  Jfi'dah,  and  out  of  the 
tribe  of  Slm'e-on,  and  out  of 
the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-mm,  thirteen 
cities. 

5  And  the  rest  of  the  children 
of  KSliath  had  by  lot  out  of 
the  families  of  the  tribe  of 
E'phra-im,  and  out  of  the  tribe 
of  Dan,  and  out  of  the  half 
tribe  of  M5-nas'seh,  ten  cities. 

6  And  the  children  of  GeVshdn 
had  by  lot  out  of  the  families 
of  the  tribe  of  ls'sa-char,  and 
out  of  the  tribe  of  Ash'&r,  and 
out  of  the  tribe  of  Naph'ta-li, 
and  out  of  the  half  tribe  of 
Ma-nfis'seh  in  B&'sh&n,  thirteen 
cities. 

7  The  children  of  MS-rfi'ri  by 
their  families  had  out  of  the 
tribe  of  Reu'ben,  and  out  of  the 
tribe  of  Gftd,  and  out  of  the 
tribe  of  ZeVu-lun,  twelve  cities. 

8  And  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
gave  by  lot  unto  the  Le'vites 
these  cities  with  their  suburbs, 
as  the  Lord  commanded  by  the 
hand  of  M5'se& 

9  ITAnd  they  gave  out  of  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  Jfi'dah, 
and  out  of  the  tribe  of  the 
children  of  Slm'e-on,  these  cit- 
ies which  are  here  mentioned 
by  name, 

10  Which  the  children  of  Aar*- 
on,  being  of  the  families  of  the 
KSliath-ites,  who  were  of  the 
children  of  Le~vf,  had:  for 
their's  was  the  first  lot 

11  And  they  gave  them  the 
city  of  Ar1>a  the  father  of 
A'n&k,  which  city  is  He~bron, 
in  the  hill  country  of  Jfi'dah, 
with  the  suburbs  thereof  round 
about  it 

12  But  the  fields  of  the  city, 
and  the  villages  thereof,  gave 
they  to  Cfileb  the  son  of  Je'« 
phun'neh  for  his  possession. 

13  Thus  they  gave  to  the  chil- 
dren of  A&Von  the  priest  He'- 
bron  with  her  suburbs,  to  be  a 
city  of  refuge  for  the  slayer; 
and  Lib'nah  with  her  suburbs, 

14  And  Jfiftir  with  her  sub- 
urbs, and  £sh-te-mS'a  with  her

27  HAnd  unto  the  children  of

33  All  the  cities  of  the  GeV- 
shon-ites  according  to  their  fam- 
ilies were  thirteen  cities  with 
their  suburbs. 

34  1FAnd  unto  the  families  of 
the  children  of  MS-ra'ri,  the 
rest  of  the  LS'vftes,  out  of  the 
tribe  of  ZeVu-lfin,  JOk'ne-fim 
with  her  suburbs,  and  Kartah

were  by  their  lot  twelve  cities. 

41  All  the  cities  of  the  Le'- 
vites within  the  possession  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were 
forty  and  eight  cities  with  their 
suburbs. 

42  These  cities  were  every  one 
with  their  suburbs  round  about 
them :  thus  were  all  these  cities. 

43  1FAnd  the  Lord  gave  unto 
Is/ra-el  all  the  land  which  he 
sware  to  give  unto  their  fathers 
and  they  possessed  it,  and  dwelt 
therein. 

44  And  the  Lord  gave  them 
rest  round  about,  according  to 
all  that  he  sware  unto  their 
fathers:  and  there  stood  not  a 
man  of  all  their  enemies  before 
them;  the  Lord  delivered  all 
their  enemies  into  their  hand. 

45  There  failed  not  ought  of 
any  good  thing  which  the  Lord 
had  spoken  unto  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el ;  all  came  to  pass.

kept  all  that  Mo'ses  the  servant 
of  the  Lord  commanded  you, 
and  have  obeyed  my  voice  in 
all  that  I  commanded  you : 

3  Ye  have  not  left  your  breth 
ren  these  many  days  unto  this 
day,  but  have  kept  the  charge 
of  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  your  God. 

4  And  now  the  Lord  your 
God  hath  given  rest  unto  your 
brethren,  as  he  promised  them : 
therefore  now  return  ye,  and 
get  you  unto  your  tents,  and  un- 
to the  land  of  your  possession, 
which  Mo'ses.  the  servant  of  the 
Lord  gave  you  on  the  other  side 
Jdr'dan. 

5  But  take  diligent  heed  to  do 
the  commandment  and  the  law, 
which  M5'seathe  servant  of  the 
Lord  charged  you,  to  love  the 
Lord  your  God,  and  to  walk  in 
all  his  ways,  and  to  keep  his 
commandments,  and  to  cleave 
unto  him,  and  to  serve  him  with 
all  your  heart  and  with  all  your 
soul. 

6  So  Jd&h'u-a  blessed  them, 
and  sent  them  away :  and  they 
went  unto  their  tents. 

7  IFNow  to  the  one  half  of  the 
tribe  of  Ma-n&s'seh  Mo'ses.  had 
riven  possession  in  Ba'sh&n 
but  unto  the  other  half  thereof 
gave  JSsh'u-a  among  their  breth- 
ren on  this  side  J6r'dan  west- 
ward. And  when  Jdsh'u-a  sent 
them  away  also  unto  their  tents, 
then  he  blessed  them, 

8  And  he  spake  unto  them,  say- 
ing, Return  with  much  riches 
unto  your  tents,  and  with  very 
much  cattle,  with  silver,  and 
with  gold,  and  with  brass,  and 
with  iron,  and  with  very  much 
raiment :  divide  the  spoil  of  your 
enemies  with  your  brethren. 

9  And  the  children  of  Reu'- 
ben  and  the  children  of  G5d 
and  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-n&s'seh 
returned,  and  departed  from  the 
children  of  lg'ra-el  out  of  Shi'- 
l5h,  which  is  in  the  land  of  Ca'^ 
naan,  to  go  unto  the  country  of 
Gfl'enad,  to  the  land  of  their  pos- 
session, whereof  they  were  pos- 
sessed, according  to  the  word  of 
the  Lord  by  the  hand  of  MS'ses. 

10  IT  And  when  they  came  un- 
to the  borders  of  Jordan,  that 
are  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  the 
children  of  Reu'ben  and  the 
children  of  Gfid  and  the  half 
tribe  of  Ma-n&s'seh  built  there 
an  altar  by  Jdr'dan,  a  great  al- 
tar to  see  to. 

11  IT  And  the  children  of  Is/ra- 
el  heard  say,  Behold,  the  chil- 
dren of  Reu'ben  and  the  chil- 
dren of  GSd' and  the  half  tribe 


of  Ma-n&s'seh  have  built  an  al- 
tar over  against  the  land  of  Ca'- 
naan, in  the  borders  of  Jdr'dan, 
at  the  passage  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-eL 

12  And  when  the  children  of 
la'rael  heard  of  it,  the  whole 
congregation  of  the  children  of 
Israel  gathered  themselves  to- 
gether at  Shildh,  to  go  up  to 
war  against  them. 

13  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
sent  unto  the  children  of  Reu'- 
ben, and  to  the  children  of  Gfid, 
and  to  the  half  tribe  of  Ma- 
n&s'seh,  into  the  land  of  Gil'e* 
fid,  Phin'e-has  the  son  of  £-le> 
a'zar  the  priest, 

14  And  with  him  ten  princes, 
of  each  chief  house  a  prince 
throughout  all  the  tribes  of 
Ig'ra-el ;  and  each  one  was  an 
head  of  the  house  of  their  fa- 
thers among  the  thousands  of 
Ig'ra-el. 

15  And  they  came  unto  the 
children  of  Reu'ben  and  to  the 
children  of  G&d,  and  to  the  half 
tribe  of  Ma-n&s'seh,  unto  the 
land  of  Gil'e-ad,  and  they  spake 
with  them,  saying, 

16  Thus  saith  the  whole  con 
gregation  of  the  Lord,  What 
trespass  is  this  that  ye  have 
committed  against  the  God  of 
Ig'ra-el,  to  turn  away  this  day 
from  following  the  Lord,  in 
that  ye  have  builded  you  an 
altar,  that  ye  might  rebel  this 
day  against  the  Lord  ? 

17  Is  the  iniquity  of  Pe'or  too 
little  for  us,  from  which  we  are 
not  cleansed  until  this  day, 
although  there  was  a  plague  in 
the  congregation  of  the  Lord, 

18  But  that  ye  must  turn 
away  this  day  from  following 
the  Lord?  and  it  will  be,  see- 
ing ye  rebel  to  day  against 
the  Lord,  that  to  morrow  he 
will  be  wroth  with  the  whole 
congregation  of  ls/ra-el. 

19  Notwithstanding,  if  the 
land  of  your  possession  be  un- 
clean, then  pass  ye  over  unto 
the  land  of  the  possession  of 
the  Lord,  wherein  the  Lord's 
tabernacle  dwelleth,  and  take 
possession  among  us :  but  rebel 
not  against  the  LORD,  nor  rebel 
against  us,  in  building  you  an 
altar  beside  the  altar  of  the 
Lord  our  God. 

20  Did  not  A'ch&n  the  son  of 
Z€'rah  commit  a  trespass  in  the 
accursed  thing,  and  wrath  fell 
on  all  the  congregation  of  Ig'- 
ra-el? and  that  man  perished 
not  alone  in  his  iniquity.  |

thing,  saying,  In  time  to  come 
your  children  might  speak  un- 
to our  children,  saying,  What 
have  ye  to  do  with  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el? 

25  For  the  Lord  hath  made 
JdVdan  a  border  between  us 
and  you,  ye  children  of  Reu'- 
ben  and  children  of  Gfid;  ye 
have  no  part  in  the  Lord:  so 
shall  your  children  make  our 
children  cease  from  fearing  the 
Lord. 

26  Therefore  we  said,  Let  us 
now  prepare  to  build  us  an  al- 
tar, not  for  burnt  offering,  nor 
for  sacrifice : 

27  But  that  it  may  be  a  wit- 
ness between  us,  and  you,  and 
our  generations  after  us,  that 
we  might  do  the  service  of 
the  Lord  before  him  with  our 
burnt  offerings,  and  with  our 
sacrifices,  and  with  our  peace 
offerings;  that  your  children 
may  not  say  to  our  children  in 
time  to  come,  Ye  have  no  part 
in  the  Lord. 

28  Therefore  said  we,  that  it 
shall  be,  when  they  should  so 
say  to  us  or  to  our  generations 
in  time  to  come,  that  we  may 
say  again,  Behold  the  pattern 
of  the  altar  of  the  Lord,  which 
our  fathers  made,  not  for  burnt 
offerings,  nor  for  sacrifices ;  but 
it  is  a  witness  between  us  and 
you. 

29  God  forbid  that' we  should 
rebel  against  the  Lord,  and 
turn  this  day  from  following 
the  Lord,  to  build  an  altar  for 
burnt  offerings,  for  meat  offer- 
ings, or  for  sacrifices,  beside 
the  altar  of  the  Lord  our  God 
that  is  before  his  tabernacle. 

30  IFAnd  when  Phin'e-has  the 
priest,  and  the  princes  of  the 
congregation  and  heads  of  the 
thousands  of  Is/ra-el  which 
were  with  him,  heard  the 
words   that    the    children    of 


Reu'ben  and  the  children  of 
GSd  and  the  children  of  Mfi- 
n&s'seh  spake,  it  pleased  them. 

31  And  Phin'e-has  the  son  of 
E-le-a'zar  the  priest  said  unto 
the  children  of  Reu'ben,  and  to 
the  children  of  Gfid,  and  to  the 
children  of  M&-nfls'seh,  This 
day  we  perceive  that  the  Lord 
is  among  us,  because  ye  have 
not  committed  this  trespass 
against  the  Lord  :  now  ye  have 
delivered  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  Lord. 

32  And  Phin'e-has  the  son  of 
E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and  the 
princes,  returned  from  the  chil- 
dren of  Reu'ben,  and  from  the 
children  of  GSd,  out  of  the  land 
of  Gil'e-fid,  unto  the  land  of 
Cfi'nfian,  to  the  children  of  Is/- 
ra-el,  and  brought  them  word 
again. 

33  And  the  thing  pleased  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el;  and  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el  blessed  God, 
and  did  not  intend  to  go  up 
against  them  in  battle,  to  de- 
stroy the  land  wherein  the 
children  of  Reu'ben  and  G&d 
dwelt. 

34  And  the  children  of  Reu'- 
ben and  the  children  of  GSd 
called  the  altar  Ed:  for  it 
shall  be  a  witness  between  us 
that  the  Lord  is  God. 

CHAPTER  23 

Joshua's  exhortation  before  his  death, 
3  by  former  benefits,  5  by  promises, 
12  and  by  threatening*. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  a  long 
time  after  that  the  Lord 
had  given  rest  unto  Is/ra-el 
from  all  their  enemies  round 
about,  that  J5sh'u-a  waxed  old 
and  stricken  in  age. 

2  And  JCsh'u-a  called  for  all 
Is/ra-el,  and  for  their  elders, 
and  for  their  heads,  and  for 
their  judges,  and  for  their  of- 
ficers, and  said  unto  them,  I 
am  old  and  stricken  in  age : 

3  And  ye  have  seen  all  that 
the  Lord  your  God  hath  done 
unto  all  these  nations  because 
of  you ;  for  the  Lord  your  God 
is  he  that  hath  fought  for  you. 

4  Behold,  I  have  divided  unto 
you  by  lot  these  nations  that 
remain,  to  be  an  inheritance 
for  your  tribes,  from  Jdr'dan, 
with  all  the  nations  that  I 
have  cut  off,  even  unto  the 
great  sea  westward. 

5  And  the  Lord  your  God,  he 
shall  expel  them  from  before 
you,  and  drive  them  from  out 
of  your  sight;  and  ye  shall 
possess  their  land,  as  the  Lord 
your  God  hath  promised  unto 
you.

6  Be  ye  therefore  very  cour- 
ageous to  keep  and  to  do  all 
that  is  written  in  the  book  of 
the  law  of  Md'ses,  that  ye  torn 
not  aside  therefrom  to  the  right 
hand  or  to  the  left ; 

7  That  ye  come  not  among 
these  nations,  these  that  remain 
among  you ;  neither  make  men- 
tion of  the  name  of  their  gods, 
nor  cause  to  swear  by  them, 
neither  serve  them,  nor  bow 
yourselves  unto  them: 

8  But  cleave  unto  the  Lord 
your  God,  as  ye  have  done  unto 
this  day. 

9  For  the  Lord  hath  driven 
out  from  before  you  great  na- 
tions and  strong :  but  as  for 
you,  no  man  hath  been  able  to 
stand  before  you  unto  this  day. 

10  One  man  of  you  shall  chase 
a  thousand :  for  the  Lord  your 
God,  he  it  is  that  fighteth  for 
you,  as  he  hath  promised  you. 

11  Take  good  need  therefore 
unto  yourselves,  that  ye  love 
the  Lord  your  God. 

12  Else  if  ye  do  in  any  wise 
go  back,  and  cleave  unto  the 
remnant  of  these  nations,  even 
these  that  remain  among  you, 
and  shall  make  marriages  with 
them,  and  go  in  unto  them,  and 
they  to  you : 

13  Know  for  a  certainty  that 
the  Lord  your  God  will  no  more 
drive  out  any  of  these  nations 
from  before  you ;  but  they  shall 
be  snares  and  traps  unto  you, 
and  scourges  in  your  sides,  and 
thorns  in  your  eyes,  until  ye 
perish  from  off  this  good  land 
which  the  Lord  your  God  hath 
given  you. 

14  And,  behold,  this  day  I  am 
going  the  way  of  all  the  earth : 
and  ye  know  in  all  your  hearts 
and  in  all  your  souls,  that  not 
one  thing  hath  failed  of  all  the 
good  things  which  the  Lord 
your  God  spake  concerning  you; 
all  are  come  to  pass  unto  you, 
and  not  one  thing  hath  failed 
thereof. 

15  Therefore  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  that  as  all  good  things  are 
come  upon  you,  which  the  Lord 
your  God  promised  you ;  so  shall 
the  Lord  bring  upon  you  all 
evil  things,  until  he  have  de- 
stroyed you  from  off  this  good 
land  which  the  Lord  your  God 
hath  given  you. 

16  When  ye  have  transgressed 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord  your 
God,  which  he  commanded  you, 
and  have  gone  and  served  other 
gods,  and  bowed  yourselves  to 
them;  then  shall  the  anger  of 
the  Lord  be  kindled  against 


you,  and  ye  shall  perish  quickly 
from  off  the  good  land  which  he* 
hath  given  unto  you. 

CHAPTER  24 

Joshua,  assembling  the  tribes,  2  re- 
lates God's  benefits:  14  he  renews 
the  covenant  between  God  and 
them;  his  age  and  death.  33 £Ze- 
asardies. 

AND  J5sh'u4  gathered  all 
the  tribes  of  Ig'ra-el  to 
She'chem,  and  called  for  the 
elders  of  lg'ra-el,  and  for  their 
heads,  and  for  their  judges,  and 
for  their  officers;  and  they 
presented  themselves  before 
God. 

2  And  J5sh'u-a  said  unto  all 
the  people,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  Your  fathers 
dwelt  on  the  other  aide  of  the 
flood  in  old  time,  even  Tehran, 
the  father  of  A1>r&-ham,  and 
the  father  of  Nft'chdr :  and  they 
served  other  gods. 

3  And  I  took  your  father 
A1>r&-h&m  from  the  other  side 
of  the  flood,  and  led  him 
throughout  all  the  land  of  Ca'- 
nfian,  and  multiplied  his  seed, 
and  gave  him  I'saac 

4  And  I  gave  unto  I'saac  Ja' 
cob  and  E'sau :  and  I  gave  unto 
E'sau  mount  Selr,  to  possess  it; 
but  J&'cob  and  his  children  went 
down  into  E'feypt 

5  I  sent  Mo  sea.  also  and  AaV- 
on,  and  I  plagued  E'fcjrpt,  ac- 
cording to  that  which  I  did 
among  them :  and  afterward  I 
brought  you  out 

6  /Sid  I  brought  your  fathers 
out  of  E'gjfpt:  and  ye  came 
unto  the  sea;  and  the  £-ftf 
tians.  pursued  after  your  fathers 
with  chariots  and  horsemen  un- 
to the  Red  sea. 

7  And  when  they  cried  unto 
the  Lord,  he  put  darkness  be- 
tween you  and  the  &g?p'tian8, 
and  brought  the  sea  upon  them, 
and  covered  them;  and  vour 
eyes  have  seen  what  I  nave 
done  in  E'&jFpt:  and  ye  dwelt 
in  the  wilderness  a  long  sea- 
son. 

8  And  I  brought  you  into  the 
land  of  the  Am'6r-ites,  which 
dwelt  on  the  other  side  Jfir'dan ; 
and  they  fought  with  you :  and 
I  gave  them  into  your  hand, 
that  ye  might  possess  their 
land ;  and  I  destroyed  them 
from  before  you. 

9  Then  Balfik  the  son  of  Zip'- 
por,  king  of  Md'ab,  arose  and 
warred  against  Is'ra-el,  and 
sent  and  called  Balaam  the 
son  of  Be'or  to  curse  you : 

10  But  I  would  not  hearken 
unto    Balaam;    therefore    he

blessed  you  still:  so  I  deliv-

11  And  ye  went  over  Jordan, 
and  came  unto  JeVI-chd:  and 
the 


21  And  the  people  said  cnto 
Jdsh'u-a,  Nay;  but  we  will 
serve  the  Lord. 

22  And  Jdsh'u-a  said  unto  the 
men   of  JeVl-ch5  foughtj  people,  Ye  are  witnesses  against 

against    you,    the   Am'dr-ites,  yourselves  that  ye  have  chosen 


and  the  Perlx-sites,  and  the 
Ca'naan-ites,  and  the  Hit'tites, 
and  the  Gir/ga-shites,  the  Hi'- 
vites,  and  the  Jdb'u-aites ;  and  I 
delivered  them  into  your  hand. 

12  And  I  sent  the  hornet  be- 
fore you,  which  drave  them  out 
from  before  you,  even  the  two 
kings  of  the  Am'dr-ites;  but 
not  with  thy  sword,  nor  with 
thy  bow. 

13  And  I  have  given  you  a 
land  for  which  ye  did  not  la- 
bour, and  cities  which  ye  built 
not,  and  ye  dwell  in  them;  of 
the  vineyards  and  oliveyards 
which  ye  planted  not  do  ye  eat 

14  IFNow  therefore  fear  the 
Lord,  and  serve  him  in  sincer- 
ity and  in  truth :  and  put  away 
the  gods  which  your  fathers 
served  on  the  other  side  of  the 
flood,  and  in  E'&jrpt ;  and  serve 
ye  the  Lord. 

15  And  if  it  seem  evil  unto 
you  to  serve  the  Lord,  choose 
you  this  day  whom  ye  will 
serve;  whether  the  gods  which 
your  fathers  served  that  were 
on  the  other  side  of  the  flood, 
or  the  gods  of  the  Am'dr-ites, 
in  whose  land  ye  dwell :  but  as 
for  me  and  my  house,  we  will 
serve  the  Lord. 

16  And  the  people  answered 
and  said,  God  forbid  that  we 
should  forsake  the  Lord,  to 
serve  other  gods; 

17  For  the  Lord  our  God,  he 
it  is  that  brought  us  up  and 
our  fathers  out  of  the  land 
of  £"gypt,  from  the  house  of 
bondage,  and  which  did  those 
great  signs  in  our  sight,  and 
preserved  us  in  all  the  way 
wherein  we  went,  and  among 
all  the  people  through  whom 
we  passed: 

18  And  the  Lord  drave  out 
from  before  us  all  the  peo- 
ple, even  the  Am'dr-ites  which 
dwelt  in  the  land:  therefore 
will  we  also  serve  the  Lord; 
for  he  is  our  God. 

19  And  J&sh'a-a  said  unto  the 
people,  Ye  cannot  serve  the 
Lord:  for  he  is  an  holy  God; 
he  is  a  jealous  God;  he  will 
not  forgive  your  transgressions 
nor  your  sins. 

20  If  ye  forsake  the  Lord, 
and  serve  strange  gods,  then 
he  will  turn  and  do  you  hurt, 
and  consume  you,  after  that  he 
hath  done  you  good. 


you  the  Lord,  to  serve  him. 
And  they  said,  We  are  wit- 
nesses. 

23  Now  therefore  put  away, 
said  he,  the  strange  gods  which 
are  among  you,  and  incline 
your  heart  unto  the  Lord  God 
of  Ig'ra-el. 

24  And  the  people  said  unto 
Jdsh'u-a,  The  Lord  our  God 
will  we  serve,  and  his  voice 
will  we  obey. 

25  So  Jdsh'u-a  made  a  cove- 
nant with  the  people  that  day, 
and  set  them  a  statute  and  an 
ordinance  in  She'chem. 

26  And  Jdsh'u-a  wrote  these 
words  in  the  book  of  the  law 
of  God,  and  took  a  great  stone, 
and  set  it  up  there  under  an 
oak,  that  was  by  the  sanctuary 
of  the  Lord. 

27  And  Jdsh'u-a  said  unto  all 
the  people,  Behold,  this  stone 
shall  be  a  witness  unto  us ;  for 
it  hath  heard  all  the  words  of 
the  Lord  which  he  spake  unto 
us :  it  shall  be  therefore  a  wit- 
ness unto  you,  lest  ye  deny 
your  God. 

28  So  Jdsh'u-a  let  the  people

29  If  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
these  things,  that  Jdsh'u-a  the 
son  of  Nun,  the  servant  of  the 
Lord,  died,  being  an  hundred 
and  ten  years  old. 

30  And  they  buried  him  in 
the  border  of  his  inheritance 
in  Tim'nath-sS'rah,  which  is  in 
mount  £'phr&4m,  on  the  north 
side  of  the  hill  of  Gft'ish. 

31  And  Ig'ra-el  served  the 
Lord  all  the  days  of  Jdsh'- 
u-a, and  all  the  days  of  the 
elders  that  overlived:  Jdsh'u-a, 
and  which  had  known  all  the 
works  of  the  Lord,  that  he  had 
done  for  Ig'ra-eL 

32  IF  And  the  bones  of  Jd'- 
seph,  which  the  children  of  lfi'- 
ra-el  brought  up  out  of  £'£ypt, 
buried  they  in  She'chem,  in  a 
parcel  of  ground  which  J&'cob 
bought  of  the  sons  of  Hfi'mor 
the  father  of  She'chem  for  an 
hundred  pieces  of  silver:  and 
it  became  the  inheritance  of 
the  children  of  Jd'geph. 

33  ITAnd  £-le-a'zar  the  son  of 
AaVon  died;  and  they  buried 
him  in  a  hill  that  pertained  to 
Phin'e-has  his  son,  which  was 
given  him  in  mount  ffphra'-Im.

CHAPTER  1 
The  acta  of  Judah  and  Simeon. 
Adoni-bezek  justly  requited,    8  Je- 
rusalem, 10  and  Hebron  taken.    21, 
27  Same  Canaanitee  yet  left. 

NOW  after  the  death  of 
J5sh'u-a  it  came  to  pass, 
that  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el 
asked  the  Lord,  saying,  Who 
shall  go  up  for  us  against  the 
Ca'naan-ites  first,  to  fight 
against  them? 

2  And  the  Lord  said,  Ju'dah 
shall  go  up :  behold,  I  have  de- 
livered the  land  into  his  hand. 

3  And  Ju'dah  said  unto  Sim'e- 
on  his  brother,  Come  up  with 
me  into  my  lot,  that  we  may 
fight  against  the  Ca'naan-ites ; 
and  I  likewise  will  go  with  thee 
into  thy  lot  So  Sim'e-on  went 
with  him. 

4  And  Ju'dah  went  up;  and 
the  Lord  delivered  the  Cft'- 
naan-ltes  and  the  Pgrl&zites  in- 
to their  hand :  and  they  slew  of 
them  in  BS'zgk  ten  thousand 
men. 

5  And  they  found  A-do'ni-be'- 
z£k  in  Be'zfik :  and  they  fought 
against  him,  and  they  slew  the 
Ca'naan-ites  and  the  Perlz-zites. 

6  But  A-do'ni-bg'zSk  fled;  and 
they  pursued  after  him,  and 
caught  him,  and  cut  off  his 
thumbs  and  his  great  toes. 

7  And  A-dd'nl-bTzek  said, 
Threescore  and  ten  kings,  hav- 
ing their  thumbs  and  their 
great  toes  cut  off,  gathered  their 
meat  under  my  table :  as  I  have 
done,  so  God  hath  requited  me, 
And  they  brought  him  to  Je-ru'- 
s$-l$m,  and  there  he  died. 

8  IT  Now  the  children  of  Ju'- 
dah had  fought  against  J6-ru'- 
sa-lem,  and  had  taken  it,  and 
smitten  it  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword,  and  set  the  city  on  fire. 

9  And  afterward  the  children 
of  Ju'dah  went  down  to  fight 
against  the  Ca'naan-ites,  that 
dwelt  in  the  mountain,  and  in 
the  south,  and  in  the  valley. 

10  And  Ju'dah  went  against 
the  Ca'naan-ites  that  dwelt  in 
He'bron :  (now  the  name  of  Hg'- 
bron  before  was  Kir'jath-ar'- 
ba:)  and  they  slew  She'shli, 
and  A-hi'man,  and  TaTmal. 

11  And  from  thence  he  went 
against  the  inhabitants  of  De'- 
bir :  and  the  name  of  Delrir  be- 
fore was  Kir'jath-sS'pher: 


12  And  Cfileb  said,  He  that 
smiteth  Kir'jath-s€'ph&,  and 
taketh  it,  to  him  will  I  give 
Ach'sah  my  daughter  to  wife. 

13  And  Oth'nI-el  the  son  of 
KS'naz,  Caleb's  younger  broth- 
er, took  it:  and  he  gave  him 
Ach'sah  his  daughter  to  wife. 

14  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
she  came  to  him,  that  she 
moved  him  to  ask  of  her  fa- 
ther a  field:  and  she  lighted 
from  off  her  ass;  and  Caleb 
said  unto  her,  What  wilt  thou  ? 

15  And  she  said  unto  him, 
Give  me  a  blessing:  for  thou 
hast  given  me  a  south  land; 
give  me  also  springs  of  water. 
And  Caleb  gave  her  the  upper 
springs  and  the  nether  springs. 

16  ITAnd  the  children  of  the 
Kenlte,  Mo'ses/  father  in  law, 
went  up  out  of  the  city  of  palm 
trees  with  the  children  of  Ju'- 
dah into  the  wilderness  of  Ju'- 
dah, which  lieth  in  the  south  of 
A'r&d ;  and  they  went  and  dwelt 
among  the  people. 

17  And  Ju'dah  went  with  Sim'- 
e-on his  brother,  and  they  slew 
the  Ca'naan-ites  that  inhabited 
Ze'phath,  and  utterly  destroyed 
it  And  the  name  of  the  city 
was  called  Hortnah. 

ia  Also  Ju'dah  took  Ga'za  with 
the  coast  thereof,  and  Aslce-ldn 
with  the  coast  thereof,  and  £k'- 
rfin  with  the  coast  thereof. 

19  And  the  Lord  was  with 
Ju'dah ;  and  he  drave  out  the 
inhabitants  o/the  mountain; 
but  could  not  drive  out  the  in- 
habitants of  the  valley,  because 
they  had  chariots  of  iron. 

20  And  they  cave  He'bron  un- 
to Caleb,  as  Mo'ses.  said:  and 
he  expelled  thence  the  three 
sons  of  A'n&k. 

21  ITAnd  the  children  of  BeV- 
ja-min  did  not  drive  out  the 
Jgb'u-sites  that  inhabited  J£- 
ru/sS-lem;  but  the  Jgb'u-sites 
dwell  with  the  children  of  Ben'- 
ja-min  in  Je*u's&4£m  unto  this 
day. 

22  t  And  the  house  of  Jo- 
seph, they  also  went  up  against 
BSth'-el:  and  the  Lord  was 
with  them. 

23  And  the  house  of  J5'seph 
sent  to  descry  Be"th'-el.  (Now 
the  name  of  the  city  before  was 
Luz.)

24  And  the  spies  saw  a  man  prevailed,  so  that  they  became 
come  forth  out  of  the  city,  and  tributaries. 


they  said  unto  him,  Shew  us, 
we  pray  thee,  the  entrance  in- 
to the  city,  and  we  will  shew 
thee  mercy. 

25  And  when  he  shewed  them 
the  entrance  into  the  city,  they 
smote  the  city  with  the  edge  of 
the  sword ;  but  they  let  go  the 
man  and  all  his  family. 

26  And  the  man  went  into  the 
land  of  the  Hit'tites,  and  built 
a  city,  and  called  the  name 
thereof  Luz :  which  is  the  name 
thereof  unto  this  day. 

27  If  Neither  did  Ma-naYseh 
drive  out  the  inhabitants  of 
BSth-she'an  and  hex  towns, 
nor  Ta'a-nach  and  her  towns, 
nor  the  inhabitants  of  Dor  and 
her  towns,  nor  the  inhabitants 
of  lb1e-&m  and  her  towns,  nor 
the  inhabitants  of  Me-gid'dd 
and  her  towns:  but  the  Ca'- 
naan-ites  would  dwell  in  that 
land. 

28  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Is'ra-el  was  strong,  that  they 
put  the  C&'naan-ites  to  tribute, 
and  did  not  utterly  drive  them 
out. 

29  Neither  did  G'phrSrim  drive 
out  the  Ca'naan-ites  that  dwelt 
in  Ge'zer;  but  the  Ca'naan-ites 
dwelt  in  GS'zer  among  them. 

30  Neither  did  ZeVu-lun  drive 
out  the  inhabitants  of  Kit'ron, 
nor  the  inhabitants  of  Na'ha- 
I5l;  but  the  Ca'naan-ites  dwelt 
among  them,  and  became  trib- 
utaries. 

31  Neither  did  Ash'er  drive 
out  the  .inhabitants  of  Ac'cho, 
nor  the  inhabitants  of  Zi'ddn, 
nor  of  Ah12b,  nor  of  Ach'zib, 
nor  of  HeTbah,  nor  of  A'phik, 
nor  of  Relidb : 

32  But  the  Ash'er-ltes  dwelt 
among  the  Ca'naan-ites,  the  in- 
habitants of  the  land :  for  they 
did  not  drive  them  out 

33  Neither  did  Naph'ta-li  drive 
out  the  inhabitants  of  B£th- 
she'mesh,  nor  the  inhabitants 
of  BSth-a'nath;  but  he  dwelt 
among  the  Ca'naan-ites,  the  in- 
habitants of  the  land:  never 
theless  the  inhabitants  of 
Bfcth-she'mesh  and  of  B£th 
aVnath  became  tributaries  unto 
them. 

34  And  the  Am'or-ites  forced 
the  children  of  Dan  into  the 
mountain:  for  they  would  not 
suffer  them  to  come  down  to 
the  valley: 

35  But  the  Am'or-ites  would 
dwell  in  mount  He'res.  in  Aij'a- 
15n,  and  in  Sha-aTbim:  yet  the 
hand  of  the  house  of  Jo'seph 


36  And  the  coast  of  the  Am'- 
or-ites was  from  the  going  up 
to  A-krfib'bim,  from  the  rock, 
and  upward. 

CHAPTER  2 

An  angel  sent  to  rebuke  the  people  at 
Bochim.  10  Wickedness  of  the  new 
generation,  after  Joshua :  20  their 
punishment. 

AND  an  angel  of  the  Lord 
came  up  from  Gil'g&l  to 
Bo'chim,  and:  said,  I  made  you 
to  go  up  out  of  E'gypt,  and  have 
brought  you  unto  the  land 
which  I  sware  unto  vour  fa- 
thers ;  and  I  said,  I  will  never 
break  my  covenant  with  you. 

2  And  ye  shall  make  no  league 
with  the  inhabitants  of  this 
land ;  ye  shall  throw  down  their 
altars :  but  ye  have  not  obeyed 
my  voice:  why  have  ye  done 
this? 

3  Wherefore  I  also  said,  I  will 
not  drive  them  out  from  before 
you;  but  they  shall  be  as 
thorns  in  your  sides,  and  their 
gods  shall  be  a  snare  unto  you. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  angel  of  the  Lord  spake 
these  words  unto  all  the  chil- 
dren of  ls/ra-el,  that  the  people 
lifted  up  their  voice,  and  wept. 

5  And  they  called  the  name 
of  that  place  Bo'chim :  and  they 
sacrificed  there  unto  the  Lord. 

6  HAnd  when  Josh'u-a  had  let 
the  people  go,  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el  went  every  man  unto 
his  inheritance  to  possess  the 
land. 

7  And  the  people  served  the 
Lord  all  the  days  of  J5sh'u-a, 
and  all  the  days  of  the  elders 
that  outlived  Josh'u-a,  who  had 
seen  all  the  great  works  of  the 
Lord,  that  he  did  for  Is'ra-el. 

8  And  J5sh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun, 
the  servant  of  the  Lord,  died, 
being  an  hundred  and  ten  years 
old. 

9  And  they  buried  him  in  the 
border  of  nis  inheritance  in 
Tim'nath-he'reg,  in  the  mount 
of  £'phr&-Im,  on  the  north  side 
of  the  hill  Ga'ash. 

10  And  also  all  that  genera- 
tion were  gathered  unto  their 
fathers:  and  there  arose  an- 
other generation  after  them, 
which  knew  not  the  Lord,  nor 
yet  the  works  which  he  had 
done  for  Is'ra-el. 

11  TAnd  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  and  served  Ba'al-im : 

12  And  they  forsook  the  Lord 
God  of  their  fathers,  which 
brought  them  out  of  the  land  of

was  hot  against  Is/ra-el,  and  he

were  greatly  distressed. 

16  %  Nevertheless  the  Lord 
raised  up  judges,  which  deliv- 
ered them  out  of  the  hand  of 
those  that  spoiled  them. 

17  And  yet  thev  would  not 
hearken  unto  their  judges,  but 
they  went  a  whoring  after  other 
gods,  and  bowed  themselves  un- 
to them:  they  turned  quickly 
out  of  the  way  which  their  fa- 
thers walked  in,  obeying  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord; 
but  thev  did  not  so. 

18  And  when  the  Lord  raised 
them  up  judges,  then  the  Lord 
was  with  the  judge,  and  deliv- 
ered them  out  of  the  hand  of 
their  enemies  all  the  days  of 
the  judge:  for  it  repented  the 
Lord  because  of  their  groan- 
ings  by  reason  of  them  that  op- 
pressed them  and  vexed  them. 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  judge  was  dead,  that  they 
returned,  and  corrupted  them- 
selves more  than  their  fathers, 
in  following  other  gods  to  serve 
them,  and  to  bow  down  unto 
them;  they  ceased  not  from 
their  own  doings,  nor  from 
their  stubborn  way. 

20  If  And  the  anger  of  the 
Lord  was  hot  against  Is/ra-el; 
and  he  said,  Because  that  this 
people  hath  transgressed  my 
covenant  which  I  commanded 
their  fathers,  and  have  not 
hearkened  unto  my  voice; 

21  I  also  will  not  henceforth 
drive  out  any  from  before  them 
of  the  nations  which  Jfish'u-a 
left  when  he  died : 

22  That  through  them  I  may 
prove  Ia'ra-el,  whether  they  will 
keep  the  way  of  the  Lord  to 
walk  therein,  as  their  fathers 
did  keep  it,  or  not 


23  Therefore  the  Lord  left 
those  nations,  without  driving 
them  out  hastily;  neither  de- 
livered he  them  into  the  hand 
of  J5sh'u-a. 

CHAPTER  3 

Nations  left  to  prove  Israel:  5  by 
communion  with  whom  the  Israel- 
ites commit  idolatry.  8  Othniel 
delivers  Israel  from  Chuehan-risK- 
athaim.  12  Ehud  from  Eolon.  31 
Shamaarfrom  the  Philistines. 

NOW  these  are  the  nations 
which  the  Lord  left,  to 
prove  Ia'ra-el  by  them,  even  as 
many  of  Is'ra-el  as  had  not 
known  all  the  wars  of  Ca'nfian ; 

2  Only  that  the  generations 
of  the  children  of  Is/ra-el  might 
know,  to  teach  them  war,  at  the 
least  such  as  before  knew  noth- 
ing thereof; 

3  Namely,  five  lords  of  the 
Phl-Hs'tinea,  and  all  the  Ca' 
nfian-Ites,  and  the  Si-dd'ni-ang, 
and  the  Hi'vites  that  dwelt  in 
mount  LeVa-non,  from  mount 
B&'al-heVmon  unto  the  enter- 
ing in  of  Hfi'math. 

4  And  they  were  to  prove  Ia'- 
ra-el by  them,  to  know  whether 
they  would  hearken  unto  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord, 
which  he  commanded  their  fa- 
thers by  the  hand  of  M5'seg. 

5  IT  And  the  children  of  Ia'- 
ra-el dwelt  among  the  CS'n&an- 
Ites,  Hit'tites,  and  Am'dr-ites, 
and  PeVfe-zites,  and  Hi'vites, 
and  JeVu-sltes: 

6  And  they  took  their  daugh- 
ters to  be  their  wives,  and  gave 
their  daughters  to  their  sons, 
and  served  their  gods. 

7  And  the  children  of  Ia'ra- 
el  did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  and  forgat  the  Lord 
their  God,  and  served  Ba'al-Im 
and  the  groves. 

8  Therefore  the  anger  of  the 
Lord  was  hot  against  Ia'ra-el, 
and  he  sold  them  into  the  hand 
of  Ch&'shan-rish-a-tmVim  king 
of  M£s-o-p5-t&'mi-a :  and  the 
children  of  Ia'ra-el  served  Chfi'- 
shan-rish-a-thfi'im  eight  years. 

9  And  when  the  children  of 
Ia'ra-el  cried  unto  the  Lord,  the 
Lord  raised  up  a  deliverer  to 
the  children  of  Ia'ra-el,  who  de- 
livered them,  even  Oth'ni-el  the 
son  of  Ke'nSz,  Caleb's  younger 
brother. 

10  And  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
came  upon  him,  and  he  judged 
Ia'ra-el,  and  went  out  to  war 
and  the  Lord  delivered  ChtT- 
shan-rish-a-thfi'im  king  of  Mes- 
o-pd-ta'mi-a  into  his  hand;  and 
his  hand  prevailed  against 
Chfl'shan-risWth&'im.

11  And  the  land  had  rest  forty 
years.  And  Oth'nI-el  the  son 
of  Ke~n2z  died. 

12  IT  And  the  children  of  Is/- 
ra-el  did  evil  again  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord:  and  the  Lord 
strengthened  figlfin  the  king 
of  Mfi'ab  against  Is/ra-el,  be- 
cause they  had  done  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord. 

13  And  he  gathered  unto  him 
the  children  of  Am'm&n  and 
Am'a-l$k,  and  went  and  smote 
ls/ra-el,  and  possessed  the  city 
of  palm  trees. 

14  So  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
served  fig/lfin  the  king  of  M5'- 
ab  eighteen  years. 

15  But  when  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el  cried  unto  the  Lord, 
the  Lord  raised  them  up  a  de- 
liverer, Blind  the  son  of  Ge"ra, 
a  Ben'ja-mite,  a  man  left-hand- 
ed: and  by  him  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el  sent  a  present  unto  fig'- 
ldn  the  king  of  Mo'ab. 

16  But  Elnld  made  him  a 
dagger  which  had  two  edges, 
of  a  cubit  length ;  and  he  did 
gird  it  under  his  raiment  upon 
his  right  thigh. 

17  And  he  brought  the  pres- 
ent unto  figldn  king  of  M5'ab : 
and  figldn  was  a  very  fat 
man. 

18  And  when  he  had  made  an 
end  to  offer  the  present,  he  sent 
away  the  people  that  bare  the 
present. 

19  But  he  himself  turned 
again  from  the  quarries  that 
were  by  Gil'g&l,  and  said,  I 
have  a  secret  errand  unto 
thee,  O  king:  who  said,  Keep 
silence.  And  all  that  stood  by 
him  went  out  from  him. 

20  And  ETiud  came  unto  him ; 
and  he  was  sitting  in  a  sum- 
mer parlour,  which  he  had  for 
himself  alone.  And  ETiud  said, 
I  have  a  message  from  God  un- 
to thee.  And  he  arose  out  of 
his  seat 

21  And  EThttd  put  forth  his 
left  hand,  and  took  the  dag- 
ger from  his  right  thigh,  and 
thrust  it  into  his  belly: 

22  And  the  haft  also  went  in 
after  the  blade;  and  the  fat 
closed  upon  the  blade,  so  that 
he  could  not  draw  the  dagger 
out  of  his  belly;  and  the  dirt 
came  out 

23  Then  ETifid  went  forth 
through  the  porch,  and  shut 
the  doors  of  the  parlour  upon 
him,  and  locked  them. 

24  When  he  was  gone  out,  his 
servants  came;  and  when  they 
saw  that  behold,  the  doors  of 
the  parlour  were  locked,  they 


said,  Surely  he  covereth   his 
feet  in  his  summer  chamber. 

25  And  they  tarried  till  they 
were  ashamed :  and,  behold,  he 
opened  not  the  doors  of  the 
parlour;  therefore  they  took  a 
key,  and  opened  them:  and, 
behold,  their  lord  was  fallen 
down  dead  on  the  earth. 

26  And  ETiud  escaped  while 
they  tarried,  and  passed  be- 
yond the  quarries,  and  escaped 
unto  Sel-rath. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  was  come,  that  he  blew  a 
trumpet  in  the  mountain  of 
Cphr&-im,  and  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el  went  down  with  him 
from  the  mount,  and  he  before 
them. 

28  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Follow  after  me:  for  the  Lord 
hath  delivered  your  enemies 
the  MG'ab-ites  into  your  hand, 
And  they  went  down  after  him, 
and  took  the  fords  of  Jdr'dan 
toward  MO'ab,  and  suffered  not 
a  man  to  pass  over. 

29  And  they  slew  of  M5'ab  at 
that  time  about  ten  thousand 
men,  all  lusty,  and  all  men  of 
valour;  and  there  escaped  not 
a  man. 

30  So  M5'ab  was  subdued  that 
day  under  the  hand  of  Is/ra-el. 
And  the  land  had  rest  four- 
score years. 

31  If  And  after  him  was  Sham' 
gar  the  son  of  A'n&th,  which 
slew  of  the  PhMis'tlneg  six  hun- 
dred men  with  an  ox  goad :  and 
he  also  delivered  Is/ra-el. 

CHAPTER  4 

Deborah  and  Barak  deliver  Israel 
from  Jabin  and  Sisera.  18  Jael 
killeth  Sisera.    23  Jabin  subdued, 

AND  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
again  did  evil  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord,  when  £1iiid  was 
dead. 

2  And  the  Lord  sold  them  in 
to  the  hand  of  Jfllrin  king  of 
Ca'naan,  that  reigned  in  Ha' 
zdr;  the  captain  of  whose  host 
was  SIs'e-ra,  which  dwelt  in 
HaVri'sheth  of  the  Cen'tileg. 

3  And  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
cried  unto  the  Lord:  for  he 
had  nine  hundred  chariots  of 
iron;  and  twenty  years  he 
mightily  oppressed  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el. 

4  IFAnd  DeVo-rah,  a  prophet- 
ess, the  wife  of  L&p'i-d5th,  she 
judged  Is/ra-el  at  that  time. 

5  And  she  dwelt  under  the 
palm  tree  of  DSb'o-rah  between 
R&'mah  and  BSth'-el  in  mount 
n^phrS-im :  and  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el  came  up  to  her  for  judg-

6  And  she  sent  and  called 
Ba'r&k  the  son  of  A-bin'o-&m 
out  of  Ke'desh-naph'ta-li,  and 
said  unto  him,  Hath  not  the 
Lord  God  of  Ig'ra-el  command- 
ed, saying,  Go  and  draw  to- 
ward mount  TaT>6r,  and  take 
with  thee  ten  thousand  men  of 
the  children  of  Naj>h'ta-li  and 
of  the  children  of  ZeVu-lun? 

7  And  I  will  draw  unto  thee 
to  the  river  Ki'shdn  Sis'e-ra, 
the  captain  of  Ja'bin's  army, 
with  his  chariots  and  his  mul- 
titude; and  I  will  deliver  him 
into  thine  hand. 

8  And  Ba'rSk  said  unto  her,  If 
thou  wilt  go  with  me,  then  I 
will  go :  but  if  thou  wilt  not  go 
with  me,  then  I  will  not  go. 

9  And  she  said,  I  will  surely 
go  with  thee :  notwithstanding 
the  journey  that  thou  takest 
shall  not  be  for  thine  honour ; 
for  the  Lord  shall  sell  Sis'e-ra 
into  the  hand  of  a  woman.  And 
D£b'o-rah  arose,  and  went  with 
Ba'r&k  to  Ke'desh. 

10  And  Ba'r&k  called  ZeVu- 
ltin  and  Naph'ta-li  to  Ke'desh; 
and  he  went  up  with  ten  thou- 
sand men  at  his  feet:  andDeV- 
o-rah  went  up  with  him. 

11  Now  He'be'r  the  Ken'ite, 
which  was  of  the  children  of 
Ho'bSb  the  father  in  law  of  Mo'- 
ses,  had  severed  himself  from 
the  KSnltes,  and  pitched  his 
tent  unto  the  plain  of  Za-a-n§'- 
im,  which  is  by  Ke'desh. 

12  And  they  shewed  SIs'e-ra 
that  Ba'r&k  the  son  of  A-bin'o- 
&m  was  gone  up  to  mount  Ta'bdr. 

13  And  Sis'e-ra  gathered  to- 
gether all  his  chariots,  even 
nine  hundred  chariots  of  iron, 
and  all  the  people  that  were 
with  him,  from  Ha-ro'sheth  of 
the  Gen'tiles  unto  the  river  of 
Ki'sh5n. 

14  And  DeVo-rah  said  unto 
Bi'r&k,  Up;  for  this  is  the  day 
in  which  the  Lord  hath  deliv- 
ered Sis'e-ra  into  thine  hand :  is 
not  the  Lord  gone  out  before 
thee?  So  Ba'r&k  went  down 
from  mount  Ta'bdr,  and  ten 
thousand  men  after  him. 

15  And  the  Lord  discomfited 
Sis'e-ra,  and  all  his  chariots, 
and  all  his  host,  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword  before  Ba'r&k ;  so 
that  Sis'e-ra  lighted  down  off 
his  chariot,  and  fled  away  on 
his  feet. 

16  But  Ba'r&k  pursued  after 
the  chariots,  and  after  the  host, 
unto  Ha-ro'sheth  of  the  Gen'- 
tiles:  and  all  the  host  of  SIs'e-ra 
fell  upon  the  edge  of  the  sword ; 
and  there  was  not  a  man  left 


17  Howbeit  Sis'e-ra  fled  away 
on  his  feet  to  the  tent  of  J&'el 
the  wife  of  H€l>er  the  Ken'ite: 
for  there  was  peace  between 
Ja'bin  the  king  of  H&'zor  and  the 
house  of  Hrber  the  Kenlte. 

18  And  Ja'el  went  out  to  meet 
Sis'e-ra,  and  said  unto  him, 
Turn  in,  my  lord,  turn  in  to 
me;  fear  not  And  when  he 
had  turned  in  unto  her  into  the 
tent,  she  covered  him  with  a 
mantle. 

19  And  he  said  unto  her,  Give 
me,  I  pray  thee,  a  little  water  to 
drink;  for  I  am  thirsty.  And 
she  opened  a  bottle  of  milk, 
and  gave  him  drink,  and  cov- 
ered him. 

20  Again  he  said  unto  her, 
Stand  in  the  door  of  the  tent, 
and  it  shall  be,  when  any  man 
doth  come  and  enquire  of  thee, 
and  say,  Is  there  any  man  here  ? 
that  thou  shalt  say,  No. 

21  Then  Ja'el  He'ber's  wife 
took  a  nail  of  the  tent,  and 
took  an  hammer  in  her  hand, 
and  went  softly  unto  him, 
and  smote  the  nail  into  his 
temples,  and  fastened  it  into 
the  ground:  for  he  was  fast 
asleep  and  weary.    So  he  died. 

22  And,  behold,  as  Ba'r&k  pur- 
sued Sis'e-ra,  Ja'el  came  out  to 
meet  him,  and  said  unto  him, 
Come,  and  I  will  shew  thee  the 
man  whom  thou  seekest  And 
when  he  came  into  her  tent, 
behold,  Sis'e-ra  lay  dead,  and 
the  nail  was  in  his  temples. 

23  So  God  subdued  on  that 
day  Ja'bin  the  king  of  Ca'n&an 
before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

24  And  the  hand  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  prospered,  and 
prevailed  against  Ja'bin  the 
king  of  Ca'n&an,  until  they  had 
destroyed  Ja'bin  king  of  Ca'- 
n&an. 

CHAPTER  5 

Deborah  and  Barak's  song  of  thanks- 
giving. 

THEN   sang    DeVo-rah    and 
B&'rak  the  son  of  A-bin'o- 
&m  on  that  day,  saying, 

2  Praise  ye  the  Lord  for  the 
avenging  of  Is'ra-el,  when  the 
people  willingly  offered  them- 
selves. 

3  Hear,  O  ye  kings ;  give  ear, 
0  ye  princes;  I,  even  I,  will 
sing  unto  the  Lord  ;  I  will  sing 
praise  to  the  Lord  God  of  Ig'- 
ra-el. 

4  Lord,  when  thou  wentest 
out  of  Se'ir,  when  thou  march- 
edst  out  of  the  field  of  Cdom, 
the  earth  trembled,  and  the 
heavens  dropped,  the  clouds 
also  dropped  water.

5  The  mountains  melted  from 
before  the  Lord,  even  that  SI' 
nfii  from  before  the  Lord  God 
of  Is'ra-el. 

6  In  the  days  of  Shfim'gar  the 
son  of  A'nfith,  in  the  days  of 
Ja'el,  the  highways  were  un- 
occupied, and  the  travellers 
walked  through  byways. 

7  The  inhabitants  of  the  vil- 
lages ceased,  they  ceased  in  I§'- 
ra-el,  until  that  I  DeVo-rah 
arose,  that  I  arose  a  mother  in 
Is'ra-el. 

8  They  chose  new  gods ;  then 
was  war  in  the  gates :  was  there 
a  shield  or  spear  seen  among 
forty  thousand  in  ls/ra-el  ? 

9  My  heart  is  toward  the  gov 
ernors  of  Is'ra-el,  that  offered 
themselves  willingly  among  the 
people.    Bless  ye  the  Lord. 

10  Speak,  ye  that  ride  on 
white  asses,  ye  that  sit  in  judg- 
ment, and  walk  by  the  way. 

11  They  that  are  delivered 
from  the  noise  of  archers  in 
the  places  of  drawing  water, 
there  shall  they  rehearse  the 
righteous  acts  of  the  LoKD>even 
the  righteous  acts  toward  the 
inhabitants  of  his  villages  in 
Ij'ra-el:  then  shall  the  people 
of  the  Lord  go  down  to  the 
gates. 

12  Awake,  awake,  DeVo-rah 
awake,  awake,  utter  a  song 
arise,  Ba'rSk,  and  lead  thy  cap- 
tivity   captive,    thou   son    of 
A-Mn'o-am. 

13  Then  he  made  him  that 
remaineth  have  dominion  over 
the  nobles  among  the  people 
the  Lord  made  me  have  domin- 
ion over  the  mighty. 

14  Out  of  l?phra-Im  wo*  there 
a  root  of  them  against  Am'a-lSk ; 
after  thee,  Ben'ja-min,  among 
thy  people ;  out  of  Ma'chlr  came 
down  governors,  and  out  of  ZeV- 
u-lun  they  that  handle  the  pen 
of  the  writer. 

15  And  the  princes  of  Is'sa- 
char  were  with  DeVo-rah ;  even 
Is'sa-char,  and  also  Ba'rak:  he 
was  sent  on  foot  into  the  valley. 
For  the  divisions  of  ReuVen 
there  were  great  thoughts  of 
heart. 

16  Why  abodest  thou  among 
the  sheepfolds,  to*  hear  the 
bleatings  of  the  flocks?  For 
the  divisions  of  ReuVen  there 
were  great  searchings  of  heart. 

17  Gll'e-fid  abode  beyond  Jdr'- 
dan :  and  why  did  Dan  remain 
in  ships?  Ash'er  continued  on 
the  sea  shore,  and  abode  in  his 
breaches. 

18ZeVu-tun  and  NSph'ta-li 
were  a  people  that  jeoparded 


their  lives  unto  the  death 
the  high  places  of  the  field. 

19  The  kings  came  and  fought, 
then  fought  the  kings  of  C&'- 
n&an  in  Ta'a-nach  by  the  waters 
of  Me-gid'd5 ;  they  took  no  gain 
of  money. 

20  They  fought  from  heaven ; 
the  stars  in  their  courses  fought 
against  Sis'e-ra. 

21  The  river  of  Ki'shon  swept 
them  away,  that  ancient  riv- 
er, the  river  Ki'shon.  0  my 
soul,  thou  hast  trodden  down 
strength. 

22  Then  were  the  horsehoofs 
broken  by  the  means  of  the 
pransings,  the  pransings  of 
their  mighty  ones. 

23  Curse  ye  MCrdz,  said  the 
angel  of  the  Lord,  curse  ye 
bitterly  the  inhabitants  there- 
of ;  because  they  came  not  to 
the  help  of  the  Lord,  to  the 
help  of  the  Lord  against  the

25  He  asked  water,  and  she 
gave  him  milk;  she  brought 
forth  butter  in  a  lordly  dish. 

26  She  put  her  hand  to  the 
nail,  and  her  right  hand  to  the 
workmen's  hammer;  and  with 
the  hammer  she  smote  Sis'e-ra, 
she  smote  off  his  head,  when 
she  had  pierced  and  stricken 
through  his  temples. 

27  At  her  feet  he  bowed,  he 
fell,  he  lay  down :  at  her  feet 
he  bowed,  he  fell:  where  he 
bowed,  there  he  fell  down  dead. 

28  The  mother  of  Sis'e-ra  look- 
ed out  at  a  window,  and  cried 
through  the  lattice,  Why  is  his 
chariot  so  long  in  coming? 
why  tarry  the  wheels  of  his 
chariots  ? 

29  Her  wise  ladies  answered 
her,  yea,  she  returned  answer 
to  herself, 

30  Have  they  not  sped  ?  have 
they  not  divided  the  prey ;  to 
every  man  a  damsel  or  two ;  to 
Sis'e-ra  a  prey  of  divers  col- 
ours, a  prey  of  divers  colours 
of  needlework,  of  divers  col- 
ours of  needlework  on  both 
sides,  meet  for  the  necks  of 
them  that  take  the  spoil? 

31  So  let  all  thine  enemies 
perish,  O  Lord  :  but  let  them 
that  love  him  be  as  the  sun 
when  he  goeth  forth  in  his 
might  And  the  land  had  rest 
forty  years.

sians. 

AND  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord:  and  the  Lord  delivered 
them  into  the  hand  of  Midl-an 
seven  years. 

2  And  the  hand  of  Midl-an 
prevailed  against  Is'ra-el:  and 
because  of  the  M!di-an-ites  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  made  them 
the  dens  which  are  in  the 
mountains,  and  caves,  and 
strong  holds. 

3  And  so  it  was,  when  Is'ra-el 
had  sown,  that  the  Midl-an-ites 
came  up,  and  the  Am'a-iek-ites, 
and  the  children  of  the  east, 
even  they  came  up  against 
them; 

4  And  they  encamped  against 
them,  and  destroyed  the  in- 
crease of  the  earth,  till  thou 
come  unto  Ga'za,  and  left  no 
sustenance  for  Is'ra-el,  neither 
sheep,  nor  ox,  nor  ass. 

5  For  they  came  up  with  their 
cattle  and  their  tents,  and  they 
came  as  grasshoppers  for  multi- 
tude ;  for  both  they  and  their 
camels  were  without  number: 
and  they  entered  into  the  land 
to  destroy  it 

6  And  is'ra-el  was  greatly  im- 
poverished because  of  the  Mid'- 
i-an-ites;  and  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  cried  unto  the  Lord. 

7  HAnd  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  cried  un- 
to the  Lord  because  of  the  Afld'- 
i-an-ites, 

8  That  the  Lord  sent  a  proph- 
et unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
which  said  unto  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
I  brought  you  up  from  E'&ypt, 
and  brought  you  forth  out  of 
the  house  of  bondage ; 

9  And  I  delivered  you  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  cSgjrp'tians, 
and  out  of  the  hand  of  all  that 
oppressed  you,  and  drave  them 
out  from  before  you,  and  gave 
you  their  land ; 

10  And  I  said  unto  you,  I  am 
the  Lord  your  God;  fear  not 
the  gods  of  the  Ara'or-ites,  in 
whose  land  ye  dwell:  but  ye 
have  not  obeyed  my  voice. 

11  1  And  there  came  an  angel 
of  the  Lord,  and  sat  under  an 
oak  which  was  in  Oph'rah,  that 
pertained  unto  Jo'ash  the  AT>i- 
ez'rite:  and  his  son  GId'e-on 
threshed  wheat  by  the  wine- 
press, to  hide  it  from  the  Midl- 
an-ites. 

12  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  him,  and  said 
unto  him,  The  Lord  is  with 


thee,  thou  mighty  man  of  val- 
our. 

13  And  Gid'e-on  said  unto  him, 
Oh  my  Lord,  if  the  Lord  be 
with  us,  why  then  is  all  this  be- 
fallen us?  and  where  be  all  his 
miracles  which  our  fathers  told 
us  of,  saying,  Did  not  the  Lord 
bring  us  up  from  E'gjrpt?  but 
now  the  Lord  hath  forsaken 
us,  and  delivered  us  into  the 
hands  of  the  Midl-an-ites. 

14  And  the  Lord  looked  upon 
him,  and  said,  Go  in  this  thy 
might,  and  thou  shalt  save  Is'- 
ra-el from  the  hand  of  the  Midl- 
an-ites  :  have  not  I  sent  thee  ? 

15  And  he  said  unto  him,  Oh 
my  Lord,  wherewith  shall  I 
save  Is'ra-el?  behold,  my  fam- 
ily is  poor  in  Ma-nfis'seh,  and  I 
am  the  least  in  my  father's 
house. 

16,  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
him,  Surely  I  will  be  with  thee, 
and  thou  shalt  smite  the  Midl- 
an-ites  as  one  man. 

17  And  he  said  unto  him,  If 
now  I  have  found  grace  in  thy 
sight,  then  shew  me  a  sign  that 
thou  talkest  with  me. 

18  Depart  not  hence,  I  pray 
thee,  until  I  come  unto  thee, 
and  bring  forth  my  present, 
and  set  it  before  thee.  And  he 
said,  I  will  tarry  until  thou 
come  again. 

19  And  Gid'e-on  went  in,  and 
made  ready  a  kid,  and  un- 
leavened cakes  of  an  ephah  of 
flour:  the  flesh  he  put  in  a 
basket,  and  he  put  the  broth  in 
a  pot,  and  brought  it  out  unto 
him  under  the  oak,  and  pre- 
sented it. 

20  And  the  angel  of  God  said 
unto  him,  Take  the  flesh  and 
the  unleavened  cakes,  and  lay 
them  upon  this  rock,  and  poui 
out  the  broth.    And  he  did  so. 

21  Then  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
put  forth  the  end  of  the  staff 
that  was  in  his  hand,  and 
touched  the  flesh  and  the  un- 
leavened cakes;  and  there  rose 
up  fire  out  of  the  rock,  and  con- 
sumed the  flesh  and  the  unleav- 
ened cakes.  Then  the  angel  of 
the  Lord  departed  out  of  his 
sight 

22  And  when  GId'e-on  per- 
ceived that  he  was  an  angel  of 
the  Lord,  GId'e-on  said,  Alas, 
O  Lord  God  !  for  because  I  have 
seen  an  angel  of  the  Lord  face 
to  face. 

23  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
him,  Peace  be  unto  thee;  fear 
not :  thou  shalt  not  die. 

24  Then  Gid'e-on  built  an  al- 
tar there  unto  the  Lord,  and

and  throw  down  the  altar  of 
Ba  al  that  thy  father  hath,  and 
cut  down  the  grove  that  is 
by  it: 

26  And  build  an  altar  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God  upon  the 
top  of  this  rock,  in  the  ordered 
place,  and  take  the  second  bul- 
lock, and  offer  a  burnt  sacri- 
fice with  the  wood  of  the  grove 
which  thou  shalt  cut  down. 

27  Then  Gid'e-on  took  ten 
men  of  his  servants,  and  did 
as  the  Lord  had  said  unto 
him:  and  so  it  was,  because 
he  feared  his  father's  house- 
hold, and  the  men  of  the  city, 
that  he  could  not  do  it  by  day, 
that  he  did  it  by  night 

28  1TAnd  when  the  men  of  the 
city  arose  early  in  the  morn- 
ing; behold,  the.  altar  of  Ba'al 
was  cast  down,  and  the  grove 

is  cut  down  that  was  by  it, 
and  the  second  bullock  was  of- 
fered upon  the  altar  that  was 
built 

29  And  they  said  one  to  an- 
other, Who  hath  done  this 
thing?  And  when  they  en- 
ouired  and  asked,  they  said, 
Gid'e-on  the  son  of  Jo'ash  hath 
done  this  thing. 

30  Then  the  men  of  the  city 
said  unto  Jo'ash,  Bring  out  thy 
son,  that  he  may  die:  because 
he  hath  cast  down  the  altar  of 
Ba'al,  and  because  he  hath  cut 
down  the  grove  that  was  by  it 

31  And  J5'&sh  said  unto  all 
that  stood  against  him,  Will  ye 

Slead  for  Ba'al?  will  ye  save 
im?  he  that  will  plead  for 
him,  let  .him  be  put  to  death 
whilst  it  is  yet  morning:  if  he 
be  a  god,  let  him  plead  for  him- 
self, because  one  hath  cast 
down  his  altar. 

32  Therefore  on  that  day  he 
called  him  Je-riib'ba-al,  saying, 
Let  Ba'al  plead  against  him,  be- 
cause he  hath  thrown  down  his 
altar. 

33  tThen  all  the  Midl-an-Ites 
and  the  Am'a-l£k-ites  and  the 
children  of  the  east  were  gath- 
ered together,  and  went  over, 
and  pitched  in  the  valley  of 
JeVre-el. 

34  But  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
came  upon  Gid'e-on,  and  he 
blew  a  trumpet;  and  A'bWzer 
was  gathered  after  him. 


35  And  he  sent  messengers 
throughout  all  M&-nas'seh ;  who 
also  was  gathered  after  him: 
and  he  sent  messengers  unto 
Ash'er,  and  unto  Zeb'u-lun,  and 
unto  N&ph'ta-li ;  and  they  came 
up  to  meet  them. 

36  IT  And  Gid'e-on  said  unto 
God,  If  thou  wilt  save  Is/ra-el 
by  mine  hand,  as  thou  hast  said, 

37  Behold,  I  will  put  a  fleece 
of  wool  in  the  floor;  and  if  the 
dew  be  on  the  fleece  only,  and 
it  be  dry  upon  all  the  earth  be- 
side, then  shall  I  know  that 
thou  wilt  save  Ig'ra-el  by  mine 
hand,  as  thou  hast  said. 

38  And  it  was  so:  for  he  rose 
up  early  on  the  morrow,  and 
thrust  the  fleece  together,  and 
wringed  the  dew  out  of  the 
fleece,  a  bowl  full  of  water. 

39  And  Gid'e-on  said  unto 
God,  Let  not  thine  anger  be 
hot  against  me,  and  I  will 
speak  but  this  once:  let  me 
prove,  I  pray  thee,  but  this 
once  with  the  fleece ;  let  it  now 
be  dry  only  upon  the  fleece, 
and  upon  all  the  ground  let 
there  be  dew. 

40  And  God  did  so  that  night 
for  it  was  dry  upon  the  fleece 
only,  and  there  was  dew  on  all 
the  ground*

mHEN  JS-rut/ba-al,  who  is 
A  Gid'e-on,  and  all  the  peo- 
ple that  were  with  him,  rose 
up  early,  and  pitched  beside 
the  well  of  Ha'rod :  so  that  the 
host  of  the  MWi-an-ites  were 
on  the  north  side  of  them,  by 
the  hill  of  Md'reh,  in  the  valley. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Gid'e-on,  The  people  that  are 
with  thee  are  too  many  for  me 
to  give  the  Midl-an-ites  into 
their  hands,  lest  I§'ra-el  vaunt 
themselves  against  me,  saving, 
Mine  own  hand  hath  saved  me. 

3  Now  therefore  go  to,  pro- 
claim in  the  ears  of  the  people, 
saying,  Whosoever  is  fearful 
and  afraid,  let  him  return  and 
depart  early  from  mount  GiT- 
e4UL  And  there  returned  of 
the  people  twenty  and  two 
thousand ;  and  there  remained 
ten  thousand. 

4  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Gid'e-on,  The  people  are  yet 
too  many;  bring  them  down 
unto  the  water,  and  I  will  try 
them  for  thee  there:  and  it 
shall  be,  that  of  whom  I  say  un 
to  thee,  This  shall  go  with  thee,

the  same  shall  go  with  thee; 
and  of  whomsoever  I  say  unto 
thee,  This  shall  not  go  with 
thee,  the  same  shall  not  go. 

5  So  he  brought  down  the 
people  unto  the  water :  and  the 
Lord  said  unto  Gid'e-on,  Every 
one  that  lappeth  of  the  water 
with  his  tongue,  as  a  dog  lap- 
peth, him  shalt  thou  set  by 
himself;  likewise  every  one 
that  boweth  down  upon  his 
knees  to  drink. 

6  And  the  number  of  them 
that  lapped,  putting  their  hand 
to  their  mouth,  were  three  hun- 
dred men:  but  all  the  rest  of 
the  people  bowed  down  upon 
their  knees  to  drink  water. 

7  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Gid'e-on,  By  the  three  hundred 
men  that  lapped  will  I  save  you, 
and  deliver  the  Midl-an-jtes  in- 
to thine  hand:  and  let  all  the 
other  people  go  every  man  un- 
to his  place. 

8  So  the  people  took  victuals 
in  their  hand,  and  their  trump- 
ets: and  he  sent  all  the  rest 
of  Is/ra-el  every  man  Unto  his 
tent,  and  retained  those  three 
hundred  men:  and  the  host  of 
Midl-an  was  beneath  him  in 
the  Valley. 

9  IT  And  it  came  to 'pass  the 
same  night,  that  the  Lord  said 
unto  him,  Arise,  get  thee  down 
unto  the  host ;  for  I  have  deliv- 
ered it  into  thine  hand. 

10  But  if  thou  fear  to  go 
down,  go  thou  with  Phu'rah 
thy  servant  down  to  the  host : 

11  And  thou  shalt  hear  what 
they  say;  and  afterward  shall 
thine  hands  be  strengthened  to 
go  down  unto  the  host  Then 
went  he  down  with  Phu'rah  his 
servant  unto  the  outside  of  the 
armed  men  that  were  in  the 
host 

12  And  the  Mtdl-an-ites  and 
the  Am'a-iek-ites  and  all  the 
children  of  the  east  lav  along 
in  the  valley  like  grasshoppers 
for  multitude;  and  their  cam- 
els were  without  number,  as 
the  sand  by  the  sea  side  for 
multitude. 

13  And  when  Gid'e-on  was 
come,  behold,  there  was  a  man 
that  told  a  dream  unto  his  fel- 
low, and  said,  Behold,  I  dreamed 
a  dream,  and,  lo,  a  cake  of  bar 
ley  bread  tumbled  into  the  host 
of  Midl-an,  and  came  unto  a 
tent,  and  smote  it  that  it  fell, 
and  overturned  it,  that  the  tent 
lay  along. 

14  And  his  fellow  answered 
and  said,  This  is  nothing  else 
save  the  sword  of  GId'e-on  the 


son  of  Jo'&sh,  a  man  of  Ig'ra-el : 
for  into  his  hand  hath  God 
delivered  Midl-an,  and  all  the 
host 

15  ITAnd  it  was  so,  when  GId'- 
e-on heard  the  telling  of  the 
dream,  and  the  interpretation 
thereof,  that  he  worshipped, 
and  returned  into  the  host  of 
fs/ra-el,  and  said,  Arise;  for  the 
Lord  hath  delivered  into  your 
hand  the  host  of  Midl-an. 

16  And- he  divided  the  three 
hundred  men  into  three  com- 
panies, and  he  put  a  trumpet  in 
every  man's  hand,  with  empty 
pitchers,  and  lamps  within  the 
pitchers. 

17  And   he  said  unto  them, 
Look  on  me,  and  do  likewise 
and,  behold,  when  I  come  to  the 
outside  of  the  camp,  it  shall  be 
that,  as  I  do,  so  shall  ye  do. 

18  When  I  blow  with  a  trump- 
et, I  and  all  that  are  with  me, 
then  blow  ve  the  trumpets  also 
on  every  side  of  all  the  camp, 
and  say,  The  sword  of  the 
Lord,  and  of  Gid'e-on. 

19  f  So  Gid'e-on,  and  the  hun 
dred  men  that  were  with  him, 
came  unto  the  outside  of  the 
camp  in  the  beginning  of  the 
middle  watch;  and  they  had 
but  newly  set  the  watch:  and 
they  blew  the  trumpets,  and 
brake  the  pitchers  that  were 
in  their  hands. 

20  And  the  three  companies 
blew  the  trumpets,  and  brake 
the  pitchers,  ana  held  the  lamps 
in  their  left  hands,  and  the 
trumpets  in  their  right  hands 
to  blow  withal :  and  they  cried, 
The  sword  of  the  Lord,  and  of 
Gid'e-on. 

21  And  they  stood  every  man 
in  his  place  round  about  the 
camp :  and  all  the  host  ran,  and 
cried,  and  fled. 

22  And  the  three  hundred 
blew  the  trumpets,  andthe  Lord 
set  every  man's  sword  against 
his  fellow,  even  throughout  all 
the  host:  and  the  host  fled  to 
BSth-shlt'tah  in  ZeVe-rath,  and 
to  the  border  of  AT)el-me-ho' 
lah,  unto  TaVbath. 

23  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el 
gathered  themselves  together 
out  of  Naph'ta-li,  and  out  of 
Ash'er,  and  out  of  all  MS-nas'- 
seh,  and  pursued  after  the  Mid'- 
i-an-ites. 

24  And  GId'e-on  sent  mes- 
sengers throughout  all  mount 
E'phrS-Im,  saying.  Come  down 
against  the  Mldl-an-ites,  and 
take  before  them  the  waters 
unto  Bfith-ba'rah  and  JSr'dan. 
Then  all  the  men  of  B'phrtUm

AND  the  men  of  E'phrtL-im 
said  unto  him,  Why  hast 
thou  served  us  thus,  that  thou 
calledst  us  not,  when  thou  went- 
est  to  fight  with  the  Mid'i-an- 
ites  ?  And  they  did  chide  with 
him  sharply. 

2  And  he  said  unto  them, 
What  have  I  done  now  in  com- 
parison of  you?  Is  not  the 
gleaning  of  the  grapes  of 
E'phra-im  better  than  the  vint- 
age of  AT>i-e'zer  ? 

3  God  hath  delivered  into  your 
hands  the  princes  of  Midl-an, 
O'reb  and  Z€'eb :  and  what  was 
I  able  to  do  in  comparison  of 
you?  Then  their  anger  was 
abated  toward  him,  when  he 
had  said  that 

4  %  And  Gid'e-on  came  to  Jor- 
dan, and  passed  over,  he,  and 
the  three  hundred  men  that 
were  with  him,  faint,  yet  pur- 
suing them. 

5  And  he  said  unto  the  men 
of  Suc'coth,  Give,  I  pray  you, 
loaves  of  bread  unto  the  people 
that  follow  me;  for  they  be 
faint,  and  I  am  pursuing  after 
Ze'bah  and  Zfil-mun'na,  kings 
of  Midl-an. 

6  And  the  princes  of  Suc'coth 
said,  Are  the  hands  of  Ze'bah 
and  Z&l-mfin'na  now  in  thine 
hand,  that  we  should  give  bread 
unto  thine  army  ? 

7  And  Gid'e-on  said,  Therefore 
when  the  Lord  hath  delivered 
Ze'bah  and  Zai-nuln'na  into 
mine  hand,  then  I  will  tear 
your  flesh  with  the  thorns  of 
the  wilderness  and  with  briers. 

8  And  he  went  up  thence  to 
PS-nu'el,  and  spake  unto  them 
likewise:  and  the  men  of  Pe- 
nu'el  answered  him  as  the  men 
of  Suc'coth  had  answered  him. 

9  And  be  spake  also  unto  the 
men  of  Pe-nu'el,  saying,  When 
I  come  again  in  peace,  I  will 
break  down  this  tower. 

10  ITNow  Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'- 
na were  in  KaYkor,  and  their 


hosts  with  them,  about  fifteen 
thousand  men,  all  that  were 
left  of  all  the  hosts  of  the  chil- 
dren of  the  east:  for  there  fell 
an  hundred  and  twenty  thou- 
sand men  that  drew  sword. 

11  f  And  Gid'e-on  went  up  by 
the  way  of  them  that  dwelt  in 
tents  on  the  east  of  No'bah  and 
JSg'be-hah,  and  smote  the  host : 
for  the  host  was  secure. 

12  And  when  Ze'bah  and  ZSl- 
mun'na  fled,  he  pursued  after 
them,  and  took  the  two  kings 
of  Midl-an,  Ze'bah  and  Zal 
mun'na,  and  discomfited  all  the 
host 

13  IT  And  Gid'e-on  the  son  of 
Jo'&sh  returned  from  battle  be- 
fore the  sun  was  up, 

14  And  caught  a  young  man 
of  the  men  of  Suc'coth,  and 
enquired  of  him:  and  he  de- 
scribed unto  him  the  princes  of 
Suc'coth,  and  the  elders  thereof, 
even  threescore  and  seventeen 
men. 

15  And  he  came  unto  the  men 
of  Suc'coth,  and  said,  Behold 
Ze'bah  and  Z&l-mun'na,  with 
whom  ye  did  upbraid  me,  say- 
ing, Are  the  hands  of  Ze'bah 
and  Zal-mun'na  now  in  thine 
hand,  that  we  should  give  bread 
unto  thy  men  that  are  weary  ? 

16  And  he  took  the  elders  of 
the  city,  and  thorns  of  the 
wilderness  and  briers,  and  with 
them  he  taught  the  men  of 
Suc'coth. 

17  And  he  beat  down  the  tower 
of  Pe-nu'el,  and  slew  the  men  of 
the  city. 

18  HThen  said  he  unto  Ze'bah 
and  Zal-mun'na,  What  manner 
of  men  were  they  whom  ye 
slew  at  Trbor?  And  they  an- 
swered, As  thou  art,  so  were 
they;  each  one  resembled  the 
children  of  a  king. 

19  And  he  said,  They  were  my 
brethren,  even  the  sons  of  my 
mother :  as  the  Lord  liveth,  if 
ye  had  saved  them  alive,  I  would 
not  slay  you. 

20  And  he  said  unto  Je'ther 
his  firstborn,  Up,  and  slay  them. 
But  the  youth  drew  not  his 
sword:  for  he  feared,  because 
he  was  yet  a  youth. 

21  Then  Ze'bah  and  Zfikniin'- 
na  said,  Rise  thou,  and  fall  upon 
us :  for  as  the  man  is,  so  is  his 
strength.  And  Gid'e-on  arose,

and  thy  son's  son  also :  for  thou 
hast  delivered  us  from  the  hand 
of  Midl-an.  % 

23  And  GId'e-on  said  unto 
them,  I  will  not  rule  over  you, 
neither  shall  my  son  rule  over 
you:  the  Lord  shall  rule  over 
you. 

24  And  GId'e-on  said  unto 
them,  I  would  desire  a  request 
of  you,  that  ye  would  give  me 
every  man  the  earrings  of  his 
prey.  (For  they  had  golden 
earrings,  because  they  were 
Ish'ma-el-ites.) 

25  And  they  answered,  We 
will  willingly  give  them.  And 
they  spread  a  garment,  and  did 
cast  therein  every  man  the  ear- 
rings of  his  prey. 

26  And  the  weight  of  the  gold- 
en earrings  that  he  requested 
was  a  thousand  and  seven  hun- 
dred shekels  of  gold ;  beside  or- 
naments, and  collars,  and  pur- 
ple raiment  that  was  on  the 
kings  of  Midl-an,  and  beside 
the  chains  that  were  about  their 
camels'  necks. 

27  And  Gid'e-on  made  an 
ephod  thereof,  and  put  it  in  his 
city,  even  in  Oph'rah :  and  all 
Ig'ra-el  went  thither  a  whoring 
after  it :  which  thing  became  a 
snare  unto  Gid'e-on,  and  to  his 
house. 

28  ITThus  was  Midl-an  sub- 
dued before  the  children  of  Is/- 
ra-el,  so  that  they  lifted  up  their 
heads  no  more.  And  the  coun- 
try was  in  quietness  forty  years 
in  the  days  of  Gid'e-on. 

29  And  Je-rub'ba-al  the  son  of 
JCSsh  went  and  dwelt  in  his 
own  house. 

30  And  Gid'e-on  had  three- 
score and  ten  sons  of  his  body 
begotten:  for  he  had  many 
wives. 

31  And  his  concubine  that 
was  in  She'chem,  she  also  bare 
him  a  son,  whose  name  he  called 
A-blm'e-lech." 

32  And  Gid'e-on  the  son  of 
Jd'&sh  died  in  a  good  old  age, 
and  was  buried  in  the  sepulchre 
of  JS'Ssh  his  father,  in  Oph'rah 
oftheA'Dl-eVrites. 

33  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
soon  as  Gid'e-on  was  dead,  that 
the  children  of  Ig'ra-el  turned 
again,  and  went  a  whoring  after 
Ba'al-im,  and  made  Ba'al-be  nth 
their  god. 

34  And  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
remembered  not  the  Lord  their 
God,  who  had  delivered  them 
out  of  the  hands  of  all  their 
enemies  on  every  side : 

35  Neither  shewed  they  kind- 
ness to  the  house  of  Je-rub'ba-al, 


namely,  Gid'e-on,  according  to 
all  the  goodness  which  he  had 
shewed  unto  Ig'ra-eL

AND  A-bim'e-lSch  the  son  of 
JS-rublw-ftl  went  to  She'- 
chem unto  his  mother's  breth- 
ren, and  communed  with  them, 
and  with  all  the  family  of  the 
house  of  his  mother's  father, 
saying, 

2  Speak,  I  pray  you,  in  the 
ears  of  all  the  men  of  She'- 
chem, Whether  is  better  for 
you,  either  that  all  the  sons  of 
Je-rub'ba-al,  which  are  three- 
score and  ten  persons,  reign 
over  you,  or  that  one  reign  over 
you  ?  remember  also  that  I  am 
your  bone  and  your  flesh. 

3  And  his  mother's  brethren 
spake  of  him  in  the  ears  of  all 
the  men  of  She'chem  all  these 
words:  and  their  hearts  in 
clined  to  follow  A-blm'e-lech ; 
for  they  said,  He  is  our  brother. 

4  And  they  gave  him  three- 
score and  ten  pieces  of  silver 
out  of  the  house  of  Ba'al-be' 
rith,  wherewith  A-bim'e-iech 
hired  vain  and  light  persons, 
which  followed  him. 

5  And  he  went  unto  his  fa- 
ther's house  at  Oph'rah,  and 
slew  his  brethren  the  sons  of 
Je-rub'ba-fil,  being  threescore 
and  ten  persons,  upon  one 
stone:  notwithstanding  yet  J6'- 
tham  the  youngest  son  of  J5- 
riib'ba-fil  was  left;  for  he  hid 
himself. 

6  And  all  the  men  of  She'- 
chem gathered  together,  and 
all  the  house  of  Mills,  and 
went,  and  made  A-blm'e-lech 
king,  by  the  nlain  of  the  pillar 
that  was  in  She'chem. 

7  And  when  they  told  it  to 
Jo'tham,  he  went  and  stood  in 
the  top  of  mount  GeYI-dm,  and 
lifted  up  his  voice,  and  cried, 
and  said  unto  them,  Hearken 
unto  me,  ye  men  of  She'chem, 
that  God  may  hearken  unto  you. 

8  The  trees  went  forth  on  a 
time  to  anoint  a  king  over 
them;  and  they  said  unto  the 
olive  tree,  Reign  thou  over  us. 

9  But  the  olive  tree  said  unto 
them,  Should  I  leave  my  fatness, 
wherewith  by  me  they  honour 
God  and  man,  and  go  to  be  pro- 
moted over  the  trees  ? 

10  And  the  trees  said  to  the 
fig  tree,  Come  thou,  and  reign

11  Btit  the  fig  tree  said  unto 
them,  Should  I  forsake  my 
sweetness,  and  my  good  fruit, 
and  go  to  be  promoted  over  the 
trees? 

12  Then  said  the  trees  unto 
the  vine,  Come  thou,  and  reign 
over  us. 

13  And  the  vine  said  unto 
them,  Should  I  leave  my  wine, 
which  cheereth  God  and  man, 
and  go  to  he  promoted  over  the 
trees? 

14  Then  said  all  the  trees  un 
to  the  bramble,  Come  thou,  and 
reign  over  us. 

15  And  the  bramble  said  unto 
the  trees,  If  in  truth  ve  anoint 
me  king  over  you,  then  come 
and  put  your  trust  in  my 
shadow:  and  if  not,  let  fire 
come  out  of  the  bramble,  and 
devour  the  cedars  of  LSb'a-non. 

16  Now  therefore,  if  ye  have 
done  truly  and  sincerely,  in 
that  ye  have  made  A-bim'e- 
lech  king,  and  if  ye  have  dealt 
well  with  J£*fib'ba-al  and  his 
house,  and  have  done  unto  him 
according  to  the  deserving  of 
his  hands; 

17  (For  my  father  fought  for 
you,  and  adventured  his  fife  far, 
and  delivered  you  out  of  the 
hand  of  Midfon: 

18  And  ye  are  risen  up  against 
my  father's  house  this  day,  and 
have  slain  his  sons,  threescore 
and  ten  persons,  upon  one  stone, 
and  have  made  A-bim'e-lech,  the 
son  of  his  maidservant,  king 
over  the  men  of  SmVchem,  be- 
cause he  is  your  brother;) 

19  If  ye  then  have  dealt  truly 
and  sincerely  with  JS-ruVba-fil 
and  with  his  house  this  day, 
then  rejoice  ye  in  A-blm'e-Wch, 
and  let  him  also  rejoice  in  you : 

20  But  if  not,  let  fire  come 
out  from  A-bim'e-lech,  and  de- 
vour the  men  of  ShS'chem,  and 
the  house  of  Mills ;  and  let  fae 
come  out  from  the  men  of  ShS'- 
chem, and  from  the  house  of 
MI115,  and  devour  A-bfm'e-lech. 

21  And  Jd'tham  ran  away,  and 
fled,  and  went  to  Be'er,  and 
dwelt  there,  for  fear  of  A-bim'e- 
lech  his  brother. 

22  IT  When  A-bim'e-lech  had 
reigned  three  years  over  Is> 
ra-el, 

23  Then  God  sent  an  evil 
spirit  between  A-bim'e-lech  and 
the  men  of  ShS'chem ;  and  the 
men  of  She'chem  dealt  treach 
erously  with  A-bim'e-lech : 

24  That  the  cruelty  done  to 
the  threescore  and  ten  sons  of 
Je-ruVba-fil  might  come,  and 
their  blood  be  hud  upon  A-bim' 


e-lech  their  brother,  which  slew 
them;  and  upon  the  men  of 
She'chem,  which  aided  him  in 
the  killing  of  his  brethren. 

25  And  the  men  of  She'chem 
set  tiers  in  wait  for  him  in  the 
top  of  the  mountains,  and  they 
robbed  ail  that  came  along  that 
way  by  them :  and  it  was  told 
A-bIm'e-15ch. 

26  And  Gft'al  the  son  of  &bed 
came  with  his  brethren,  and 
went  over  to  ShS'chem:  and 
the  men  of  ShS'chem  put  their 
confidence  in  him. 

27  And  they  went  out  into  the 
fields,  and  gathered  their  vine- 
yards, and  trode  the  grapes, 
and  made  merry,  and  went  into 
the  house  of  their  god,  and  did 
eat  and  drink,  and  cursed 
A-ttm'e-lech. 

28  .And  Gfi'al  the  son  of  rTbed 
said,  Who  is  A-bim'e-lech,  and 
who  is  ShS'chem,  that  we 
should  serve  him?  is  not  he 
the  son  of  JMHrtMriQ  ?  and  ZT- 
bill  his  officer?  serve  the  men 
of  Haraor  the  father  of  Sh*'- 
chem :  for  why  should  we  serve 
him? 

29  And  would  to  God  this 
people  were  under  my  handt 
then  would  I  remove  A-bim'e- 
lech.  And  he  said  to  A-bim'e- 
lech,  Increase  thine  army,  and 
come  out. 

30  ITAnd  when  ZTbut  the  ruler 
of  the  city  heard  the  words  of 
Gft'al  the  son  of  £1>ed,  his  an 
ger  was  kindled. 

31  And  he  sent  messengers 
unto  A-bim'e-lech  privily,  say- 
ing, Behold,  Gft'al  the  son  of 

ed  and  his  brethren  be  come 
to  ShS'chem ;  and,  behold,  they 
fortify  the  city  against  thee. 

32  Now  therefore  up  by  night, 
thou  and  the  people  that  is 
with  thee,  and  lie  in  wait  in 
the  field: 

33  And  it  shall  be,  that  in  the 
morning,  as  soon  as  the  sun  is 
up,  thou  shalt  rise  early,  and  set 
upon  the  city:  and;  behold, 
when  he  and  the  people  that 
is  with  him  come  out  against 
thee,  then  mayest  thou  do  to 
them  as  thou  shalt  find  occa- 
sion. 

34  If  And  A-bim'e-lech  rose  up, 
and  all  the  people  that  were 
with  him,  by  night,  and  they 
laid  wait  against  ShS'chem  in 
four  companies. 

35  And  Gft'al  the  son  of  nTbed 
went  out,  and  stood  in  the 
entering  of  the  gate  of  the  city 
and  A4)im'e-lech  rose  up,  and 
the  people  that  were  with  him, 
from  lying  in  wait.

36  And  when  G&'al  saw  the 
people,  he  said  to  Ze'bul,  Be- 
hold,'there  come  people  down 
from  the  top  of  the  mountains. 
And  Ze1>ul  said  unto  him,  Thou 
seest  the  shadow  of  the  moun- 
tains as  if  they  mere  men. 

37  And  Ga'al  spake  again  and 
said,  See  there  come  people 
down  by  the  middle  of  the  land, 
and  another  company  come 
along  by  the  plain  of  M&dn'e- 
nftn 

38  Then  said  Ze"bul  unto  him, 
Where  is  now  thy  mouth, 
wherewith  thou  saidst,  Who  is 
A4>hn'e4gch,  that  we  should 
serve  him?  is  not  this  the 
people  that  thou  hast  despised  ? 
go  outv  I  pray  now,  and  fight 
with  them. 

39  And  Ga'al  went  out  before 
the  men  of  Shechem,  and 
fought  with  A-Mm'e4ech. 

40  And  A-blm'e-lSch  chased 
him,  and  he  fled  before  him,  and 
many  were  overthrown  and 
wounded,  even  unto  the  enter- 
ing of  the  gate. 

41  And  A4>im'e4ech  dwelt  at 
A-ru'mah:  and  ZSlnil  thrust 
out  Gi'al  and  his  brethren;  that 
they  should  not  dwell  in  She' 
chem. 

42  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  the  people  went 
out  into  the  field;  and  they 
told  A-bim'e-LBch. 

43  And  he  took  the  people, 
and  divided  them  into  three 
companies,  and  laid  wait  in  the 
field,  and  looked,  and,  behold, 
the  people  were  come  forth  out 
of  the  city;  and  he  rose  up 
against  them,  and  smote  them. 

44  And  A-bim'e-lech,  and  the 
company  that  was  with  him, 
rushed  forward,  and  stood  in 
the  entering  of  the  gate  of  the 
city:  and. the  two  other  com* 
panies  ran  upon  all  the  people 
that  were  in  the  fields,  and  slew 
them. 

45  And  A-bim'e-lech  fought 
against  the  city  all  that  day; 
and  he  took  the  city,  and  slew 
the  people  that  was  therein, 
and  beat  down  the  city,  and 
sowed  it  with  salt. 

46  IFAnd  when  all  the  men  of 
t^e  towef  of  Shefchem  heard 
that,  they  entered  into  an  hold 
of  the  house  of  the  god  Be'rith. 

47  And  it  was  told  A-bfm'e- 
lech,  that  all  the  men  of  the 
tower  of  She'chem  were  gath- 
ered together. 

48  And  A-bim'e4ech  gat  him 
up  to  mount  ZaTmdn,  he  and 

the.  people  that  were  with 

him;  and  A-bfm'e4Sch  took  an 


ax  in  his  hand,  and  cut  down  a 
bough  from  the  trees,  and  took 
it,  and  laid  it  on  his  shoulder, 
and  said  unto  the  people  that 
were  with  him,  What  ye  have 
seen  me  do,  make  haste;  and 
do  as  I  have  done. 

49  And  all  the  people  likewise 
cut  down  every  mail  his  bough, 
and  followed  A-bltn'e-lech,  and 
put  them  to  the  hold,  and  set 
the  hold  on  fire  upon  them ;  so 
that  all  the  men  of  the  tower 
of  She'chem  died  also,  about  a 
thousand  men  and  women. 

50  TThenwentA-bIra'e4echto 
The'bez,  and  encamped  against 
Thrbez,  and  took  it 

51  But  there  was  a  strong  tow- 
er within  the  city,  and  thither 
fled  all  the  men  and  women, 
and  all  they  of  the  city,  and 
shut  it  to  them,  and  gat  them 
up  to  the  top  of  the  tower. 

52  And  A-blm'e-lech  came  un- 
to the  tower,  and  fought  against 
it,  and  went  hard  unto  the  door 
of  the  tower  to  burn  it  with  fire. 

53  And  a  certain  woman  cast 
a  piece  of  a  millstone  upon 
A-blm'e-lech's  head,  and  all  to 
brake  his  scull. 

54  Then  he  called  hastily  un- 
to the  young  man  his  armour- 
bearer,  and  said  unto  him,  Draw 
thy  sword,  and  slay  me,  that 
men  say  not  of  me,  A  woman 
slew  him.  And  his  young  man 
thrust  him  through,  and  he  died. 

55  And  when  the  men  of  Is' 
ra-el  saw  that  A-bim'e-lech  was 
dead,  they  departed  every  man 
unto  his  place. 

56  IT  Thus  God  rendered  the 
wickedness  of  A-bim'e-lech, 
which  he  did  unto  his  father, 
in  slaying  his  seventy  brethren 

57  And  all  the  evil  of  the  men 
of  She'chem  did  God  render  Up- 
on their  heads :  and  upon  them 
came  the  curse  of  Jd'tham  the 
son  of  Je-rub'ba-fiL

rode  on  thirty  ass  colts,  and 
they  had  thirty  cities,  which' are 
called  HTvoth-ja'Ir  unto  this 
day,  which  are  in  the  land  of 
Gil'e-id. 

5  And  Jftfr  died,  and  was 
buried  in  Cfi'mdn. 

6  fAnd  the  children  of  ls/ra- 
el  did  evil  again  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord,  and  served  Bfi'aMm, 
and  Ash'ta-rdth,  and  the  gods 
of  SJrl-a,  and  the  gods  of  ZT- 
ddn,  and  the  gods  of  Md'ab,  and 
the  gods  of  the  children  of  Am'- 
m5n,  and  the  gods  of  the  Phi- 
lls'tinea,  and  forsook  the  Lord, 
and  served  not  him. 

7  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord 
was  hot  against  ls/ra-el,  and  he 
sold  them  into  the  hands  of  the 
Phi-lis'tlneg,  and  into  the  hands 
of  the  children  of  Am'mdn. 

8  And  that  year  they  vexed 
and  oppressed  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el :  eighteen  years,  all  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el  that  were 
on  the  other  side  JdrfKan  in  the 
land  of  the  Am'dr-Ites,  which  is 
in  Gll'e-ad. 

9  Moreover  the  children  of 
Am'mdn  passed  over  JoYdaii 
to  fight  also  aga&rist  JG'dah, 
and  against  Bdn'ja»mfn,  and 
against  the  house  of  &phr&4m ; 
so  that  Is/ra-el  was  sore  dis- 
tressed. 

10  tAnd  the  children  of  Is/ra- 
el  cried  unto  the  Lord,  say- 
ing, We  have  sinned  against 
thee,  both  because  we  have  for- 
saken our  God,  and  also  served 
Bft'aMm. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el,  Did  not  I 
deliver  you  from  the  E-gyp'- 
tians.,  and  from  the  Am'dr-ites, 
from  the  children  of  Am'mdn, 
and  from  the  Phf-lls'tines? 

12  The  Zi-do'ni-ans  also,  and 
the  Am'a-HSk-ltes,  and  the  Ma'- 
on-ites,  did  oppress  you;  and  ye 
cried  to  me,  and  I  delivered  you 
out  of  their  hand. 

13  Yet  ye  have  forsaken  me, 
and  served  other  gods :  where- 
fore I  will  deliver  you  no  more. 

14  Go  and  cry  unto  the  gods 
which  ye  have  chosen ;  let  them 
deliver  you  in  the  time  of  your 
tribulation. 

15  And  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
said  unto  the  Lord,  We  have 
sinned:  do  thou  unto  us  what- 
soever seemeth  good  unto  thee ; 
deliver  us  only,  we  pray  thee, 
this  day. 

16  And  they  put  away  the 
strange  gods  from  among  them, 
and  served  the  LORD :  and  his 
soul  was  grieved  for  the  misery 
of  Is/ra-el. 


17  Then  the  children  of  Am'- 
mdn were  gathered  together, 
and  encamped  in  GfTe-acL  And 
the  children  of  Is/ra-el  assem- 
bled themselves  together,  and 
encamped  in  Mfe'peh. 

18  And  the  people  and  princes 
of  Gfl'e4Ul  said  one  to  another, 
What  man  is  he  that  will  begin 
to  fight  against  the  children  of 
Am'mdn?  he  shall  be  head  over 
all  the  inhabitants  of  Gll'e-ad. 

CHAPTER  11  . 

The  GUoadit49  covenant  with  Jeph- 
thah,  12  His  embassy  to  the  king 
o/  Amnion ;  29  hia  vow :  32  he  over- 
comes Ms  Ammonite*. 

NOW  Jeph'thah  the  Gll'e-fid- 
Ite  was  a  mighty  man  of 
valour,  and  he  was  the  son  of 
an  harlot:  and  Gll'e-fid  begat 
Jeph'thah. 

2  And  Gu"e-8d's  wife  bare  him 
sons;  and  his  wife's  sons  grew 
up,  and  tney  thrust  out  Jeph'- 
thah, and  said  unto  him,  Tnou 
shalt  not  inherit  in  our  fathers 
house ;  for  thou  art  the  son  of 
a  strange  woman. 

3  Then  Jeph'thah  fled  from 
his  brethren,  and  dwelt  in  the 
land  of  Tdb:  and  there  were 
gathered  vain  men  to  Jgph'- 
thah, and  went  out  with  him. 

4  1  And  it  came  to  pass  in  proc- 
ess of  time,  that  the  children 
of  Am'mdn  made  war  against 
Ig'ra-el. 

5  And  it  was  so,  that  when 
the  children  of  Am'mdn  made 
war  against  Is/ra-el,  the  elders 
of  G!Te4d  went  to  fetch  Jgph'- 
thah out  of  the  land  of  Tdb : 

6  And  they  said  unto  Jeph' 
thah,  Come,  and  be  our  captain, 
that  we  may  fight  with  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mdn. 

7  And  Jeph'thah  said  unto  the 
elders  of  Gil'e-fld,  Did  not  ye 
hate  me,  and  expel  me  out  ofj 
my  father's  house?  and  why 
are  ye  come  unto  me  now  when 
ye  are  in  distress? 

8  And  the  elders  of  Gil'e-ad 
said  unto  Jeph'thah,  Therefdre 
we  turn  again  to  thee  now, 
that  thou  mayest  go  with  us, 
and  fight  against  the  children 
of  Am'mdn,  and  be  our  head 
over  all  the  inhabitants  of 
Gil'e^ad. 

9  And  Jeph'thah  said  unto  the 
elders  of  Gll'e-ad,  If  ye  bring 
me  home  again  to  fight  against 
the  children  of  Am'mdn,  and 
die  Lord  deliver  them  before 
me,  shall  I  be  your  head  ? 

10  And  the  elders  of  Gtl'e-ftd 
said  unto  Jgph'thah,  The  LORD 
be  witness  between  us,  if  we  do 
not  so  according  to  thy  words.

11  Then  Jeph'thah  went  with 
the  elders  of  Gil'e-ad,  and  the 
people  made  him  head  and  cap- 
tain over  them :  and  Jeph'thah 
uttered  all  his  words  before  the 
Lord  in  Miz'peh. 

12  HAnd  Jeph'thah  sent  mes- 
sengers unto  the  king  of  the 
children  of  Am'mdn,  saying, 
What  hast  thou  to  do  with  me, 
that  thou  art  come  against  me 
to  fight  in  my  land  ? 

13  And  the  king  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mon  answered  un- 
to the  messengers  of  Jeph'thah, 
Because  fs'ra-el  took  away  my 
land,  when  they  came  up  out  of 
E'&Jpt,  from  Ar'ndn  even  unto 
J&Vbdk,  and  untoJdrMan:  now 
therefore  restore  those  lands 
again  peaceably. 

14  And  Jephthah  sent  mes- 
sengers again  unto  the  king  of 
the  children  of  Am'mdn : 

15  And  said  unto  him,  Thus 
saith  Jeph'thah,  Ig'ra-el  took 
not  away  the  land  of  M5'ab, 
nor  the  land  of  the  children  of 
Am'mon : 

16  But  when  Is'ra-el  came 
up  from  Efgypt,.  and  walked 
through  the  wilderness  unto 
the  Red  sea,  and  came  to  Ka'- 
desh; 

17  Then  Ig'ra-el  sent  messen- 
gers unto  the  king  of  E'dom, 
saying,  Let  me,  I  pray  thee, 
pass  through  thy  land :  but  the 
king  of  ^dom  would  not  heark- 
en thereto.  And  in  like  man- 
ner they  sent  unto  the  king  of 
Mo'ab:  but  he  would  not  con- 
sent :  and  Is'ra-el  abode  in  {&'- 
desh. 

18  Then  they  went  along 
through  the  wilderness,  and 
compassed  the  land  of  E'dom, 
and  the  land  of  MQ'ab,  and 
came  by  the  east  side  of  the 
land  of  M5'ab,  and  pitched 
on  the  other  side  of  Ar'ndn, 
but  came  not  within  the  bor- 
der of  Mo'ab:  for  Ar'ndn  was 
the  border  of  Md'ab. 

19  And  Is/ra-el  sent  messen- 
gers unto  Sfhdn  king  of  the 
Lm'dr-ites,  the  king  of  Hesh'- 

b5n ;  and  Ig'ra-el  said  unto  him, 
Let  us  pass,  we  pray  thee, 
through  thy  land  into  my 
place. 

20  But  Sfhdn  trusted  not  Ig'- 
ra-el to  pass  through  his  coast : 
but  Sfhdn  gathered  all  his  peo- 

Sle  together,  and  pitched  in 
alifiz,  and  fought  against  Ig'- 
ra-el. 

21  And  the  Lord  God  of  lg'- 
ra-el  delivered  Sfhdn  and  all 
his  people  into  the  hand  of  Ig'- 
ra-el, and  they  smote  them :  so 


Ig'ra-el  possessed  all  the  land  of 
the  Am'dr-ites,  the  inhabitants 
of  that  country. 

22  And  they  possessed  all  the 
coasts  of  the  Am'dr-ites,  from 
Ar'ndn  even  unto  JaVbolc,  and 
from  the  wilderness  even  unto 
Jdr'dan. 

23  So  now  the  Lord  God  of 
Ig'ra-el  hath  dispossessed  the 
Am'dr-ites  from  before  his  peo- 
ple Ig'ra-el,  and  shouldest  thou 
possess  it? 

24  Wilt  not  thou  possess  that 
which  ChS'mdsh  thy  god  giv- 
eth  thee  to  possess  ?  So  whom- 
soever the  Lord  our  God  shall 
drive  out  from  before  us,  them 
will  we  possess. 

25  And  now  art  thou  any 
thing  better. than  Bala*  the 
son  of  Zip'por,  king  of  Mo'ab? 
did  he  ever  strive  against  Ig'ra- 
el,  or  did  he  ever  fight  against 
them, 

26  While  Ig'ra-el  dwelt  in 
Hdsh'bdn  and  her  towns,  and 
in  Ar'o-er  and  her  towns,  and 
in  all  the  cities  that  be  along 
by  the  coasts  of  Ar'ndn,  three 
hundred  years?  why  therefore 
did  ye  not  recover  them  with- 
in that  time? 

27  Wherefore  I  have  not 
sinned  against  thee,  but  thou 
doest  me  wrong  to  war  against 
me:  the  Lord  the  Judge  be 
judge  this  day  between  the 
children  of  Ig'ra-el  and  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mdn. 

28  Howbeit  the  king  of  the 
children  of  Am'mdn  hearkened 
not  unto  the  words  of  Jeph'- 
thah which  he  sent  him. 

29  TThen  the  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  came  upon  Jeph'thah, 
and  he  passed  over  GU'e^d, 
and  MS-n&s'seh,  and  passed 
over  Miz'peh  of  Gll'e-ad,  and 
from  Miz'peh  of  Gil'e-*d  he 
passed  over  unto  the  children 
of  Am'mdn. 

30  And  Jeph'thah  vowed  a 
vow  unto  the  Lord,  and  said, 
If  thou  shalt  without  fail  de- 
liver the  children  of  Am'mdn 
into  mine  hands, 

31  Then  it  shall  be,  that 
whatsoever  cometh  forth  of 
the  doors  of  my  house  to  meet 
me,  when  I  return  in  peace 
from  the  children  of  Am  mdn, 
shall  surely  be  the  Lord's,  and 
I  will  offer  it  up  for  a  burnt  of- 
fering. 

32  IfSo  Jeph'thah  passed  over 
unto  the  children  of  Am'mdn 
to  fight  against  them;  and  the 
Lord  delivered  them  into  his 
hands. 

33  And  he  smote  them  from

children  of  lg'ra-eL 

34  11  And  Jeph'thah  came  to 
MVpeh  unto  his  house,  and, 
behold,  his  daughter  came  out 
to  meet  him  with  timbrels  and 
with  dances:  and  she  was  his 
only  child;  beside  her  he  had 
neither  son  nor  daughter. 

55  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  saw  her,  that  he  rent  his 
clothes,  and  said,  Alas,  my 
daughter!  thou  hast  brought 
me  very  low,  and  thou  art  one 
of  them  that  trouble  me:  for  I 
have  opened  my  mouth  unto

My  father,  t/thou  hast  opened

to  me  according  to  that  which 
hath  proceeded  out  of  thy 
mouth ;  forasmuch  as  the  Lord

of  thine  enemies,  even  of  the 
children  of  Am'mdn. 

37  And  she  said  unto  her 
father,  Let  this  thing  be  done 
for  me:  let  me  alone  two 
months,  that  I  may  go  up  and 
down  upon  the  mountains,  and 
bewail  my  virginity,  I  and  my 
fellows. 

38  And  he  said,  Go.  And  he 
sent  her  away  for  two  months : 
and  she  went  with  her  compan- 
ions, and  bewailed  her  virginity 
upon  the  mountains. 

39  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  two  months,  that  she  re- 
turned unto  her  father,  who  did 
with  her  according  to  his  vow 
which  he  had  vowed :  and  she 
knew  no  man.  And  it  was  a 
custom  in  Is/ra-el, 

40  That  the  daughters  of  Is/- 
ra-el  went  yearly  to  lament  the 
daughter  of  Jeph'thah  the  Gll'e- 
fid-ite  four  days  in  a  year. 


CHAPTER  12 

The  Ephraimitee  quarrelling  with 
Jephthah,  and  discerned  by  the 
word  Shibboleth,  are  dain  by  the 
GUeadUee,    7  Jepkthah'e  death. 

AND  the  men  of  E'phrft-im 
gathered  themselves  to- 
gether, and  went  northward, 
and  said  unto  Jeph'thah,  Where- 
fore passedst  thou  over  to  fight 
against  the  children  of  Am'- 
mdn, and  didst  not  call  us  to 
go  with  thee?  we  will  burn 
thine  house  upon  thee  with 
fire, 
2  And   JSph'thak   said   unto

them,  I  and  my  people  were  at 
great  strife  with  the  children 
of  Am'mdn ;  and  when  I  called 
you,  ye  delivered  me  not  out  of 
their  hands. 

3  And  when  I  saw  that  ye  de- 
livered me  not,  I  put  my  life  in 
my  hands,  and  passed  over 
against  the  children  of  Am'- 
mdn, and  the  Lord  delivered 
them  into  my  hand :  wherefore 
then  are  ye  come  up  unto  me 
this  day,  to  fight  against  me? 

4  Then  Jeph'thah  gathered 
together  all  the  men  of  Gil'e- 
fid,  and  fought  with  £'phr&-im 
and  the  men  of  GU'e-Sd  smote 
ftphra-im,  because  they  said, 
Ye  GiTe-Ad-Ites  are  fugitives  of 
E'phrft-Im  among  the  Cphrft- 
im-ites,  and  among  the  MS- 
n&s'sites. 

5  And  the  Cfl'e-&d-ites  took 
the  passages  of  Jdr'dan  before 
the  &'phr&-lm-ites :  and  it  was 
so,  that  when  those  E'phrfi-im 
ites  which  were  escaped  said, 
Let  me  go  over;  that  the  men 
of  GH'e-ad  said  unto  him,  Art 
thou  an  fi'phdi-im-ite  ?  If  he 
said,  Nay ; 

6  Then  said  they  unto  him, 
Say  now  Shib'bo-feth:  and  he 
said  STVbo-lSth:  for  he  could 
not  frame  to  pronounce  it  right 
Then  they  took  him,  and  slew 
him  at  the  passages  of  Jdr'dan : 
and  there  fell  at  that  time  of 
the  E'phrft-Im-ites  forty  and 
two  thousand. 

7  And  Jeph'thah  judged  Is/ra- 
el  six  years.  Then  died  Jeph'- 
thah the  GITe-Ad-ite,  and  was 
buried  in  one  of  the  cities  of 
Gil'e-ad. 

8  t  And  after  him  Ib'z&n  of 
Bgth-ie-hem  judged  Is/ra-el. 

9  And  he  had  thirty  sons, 
and  thirty  daughters,  whom  he 
sent  abroad,  and  took  in  thirty 
daughters  from  abroad  for  his 
sons.  And  he  judged  Is'ra-el 
seven  years. 

10  Then  died  Ib'zSn,  and  was 
buried  at  Beth'-ie-hem. 

11  tAnd  after  him  Eldn,  a 
ZeVu-lon-ite,  judged  Is/ra-el ; 
and  he  judged  Is/ra-el  ten 
years. 

12  And  Eldn  the  ZeVu-lon-ite 
died,  and  was  buried  in  Aij'a-ldn 
in  the  country  of  ZeVu-Hin. 

13  IT  And  after  him  Ab'ddn 
the  son  of  Hlllel,  a  PIr'a-thon- 
ite,  judged  ls/ra-el. 

14  And  he  had  forty  sons  and 
thirty  nephews,  that  rode  on 
threescore  and  ten  ass  colts:

AND  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
did  evil  again  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord  ;  and  the  Lord  de- 
livered them  into  the  hand  of 
the  Phl-lis'thies  forty  years. 

2  fAnd  there  was  a  certain 
man  of  ZS'rah,  of  the  family  of 
the  Danltes,  whose  name  was 
Ma-no'ah;  and  his  wife  was 
barren,  and  bare  not 

3  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  the  woman,  and 
said  unto  her.  Behold  now,  thou 
art  barren,  and  bearest  not :  but 
thou  shalt  conceive,  and  bear  a 
son. 

4  Now  therefore  beware,  I  pray 
thee,  and  drink  not  wine  nor 
strong  drink,  and  eat  not  any 
unclean  thing  : 

5  For,  lo,  thou  shalt  conceive, 
and  bear  a  son;  and  no  razor 
shall  come  on  his  head:  for  the 
child  shall  be  a  Nfiz'a-rite  onto 
God  from  the  womb:  and  he 
shall  begin  to  deliver  Is'ra-el 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  PhHIs' 
tinea. 

6  ITThen  the  woman  came  and 
told  her  husband,  saying,  A  man 
of  God  came  unto  me,  and  his 
countenance  was  like  the  coun- 
tenance of  an  angel  of  God, 
very  terrible :  but  I  asked  him 
not  whence  he  was,  neither 
told  he  me  his  name: 

7  But  he  said  unto  me,  Be- 
hold, thou  shalt  conceive,  and 
bear  a  son;  and  now  drink  no 
wine  nor  strong  drink,  neither 
eat  any  unclean  thing :  for  the 
child  shall  be  a  Naz'a-rite  to 
God  from  the  womb  to  the  day 
of  his  death. 

8  If  Then  M§-n8'ah  intreated 
the  Lord,  and  said,  0  my  Lord, 
let  the  man  of  God  which  thou 
didst  send  come  again  unto  us, 
and  teach  us  what  we  shall  do 
unto  the  child  that  shall  be 
born. 

9  And  God  hearkened  to  the 
voice  of  Ma-no'ah;  and  the  an- 
gel of  God  came  again  unto  the 
woman  as  she  sat  in  the  field 
but  Ma-n5'ah  her  husband  was 
not  with  her. 

10  And  the  woman  made  haste, 
and  ran,  and  shewed  her  hus- 
band, and  said  unto  him,  Be- 


unto  me,  that  came  unto  me 
the  other-  day. 

11  And  Mfi-itfTah  arose,  and 
went  after  his  wife,  and  came 
to  the  man,  and  said  unto  him, 
Art  thou  the  man  that  spakest 
unto  the  woman  ?  And  he  said, 
lanu 

12  And  lfe-n5'ah  said,  Now  let 
thy  words  come  to  pass:  How 
shall  we  order  the  child,  and 
how  shall  we  do  unto  him  ? 

13  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  Ma-nd'ah,  Of  all  that 
I  said  unto  the  woman  let  her 
beware. 

14  She  may  not  eat  of  any 
thing  that  cometh  of  the  vine, 
neither  let  her  drink  wine  of 
strong  drink,  nor  eat  any  un- 
clean thing :  all  that  I  com- 
manded her  let  her  observe. 

15  IT  And  Ma-n6'ah  said  unto 
the  angel  of  the  Lord,  I  pray 
thee,  let  us  detain  thee,  until 
we  shall  have  made  ready  a  kid 
for  thee. 

16  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  Ma-n5'ah,  Though 
thou  detain  me,  I  will  not  eat 
of  thy  bread:  and  if  thou  wilt 
offer  a  burnt  offering,  thou  must 
offer  it  unto  the  Lord.  For  Ma- 
n5'ah  knew  not  that  he  was  an 
angel  of  the  Lord. 

17  And  Ma-no'ah  said  unto  the 
angel  of  the  Lord,  What  is  thy 
name,  that  when  thy  sayings 
come  to  pass  we  may  do  thee 
honour? 

18  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  him,  Why  askest  thou 
thus  after  my  name*  seeing  it 

<o  fi£f*T*£r.  7 

19  So  Ma-nS'ah  took  a  kid  with 
a  meat  offering,  and  offered  it 
upon  a  rock  unto  the  Lord 
and  the  angel  did  wonderous* 
ly;  and  Ma-no'ah  and  his  wife 
looked  on. 

20  For  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  flame  went  up  toward  heav- 
en from  off  the  altar,  that  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  ascended  in 
the  flame  of  the  altar.  And  Ma- 
no'ah  and  his  wife  looked  on 
it,  and  fell  on  their  faces  to  the 
ground. 

21  But  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
did  no  more  appear  to  Ma-no'ah 
and  to  his  wife.  Then  Ma-n<5'ah 
knew  that  he  was  an  angel  of 
the  Lord. 

22  And  Ma-no'ah  said  unto  his 
wife,  We  shall  surely  die,  be- 
cause we  have  seen  God. 

23  But  his  wife  said  unto  him, 
If  the  Lord  were  pleased  to  kill 
us,  he  would  not  have  received 
a  burnt  offering  and  a  meat 

hold,  the  man  hath  appeared  I  offering  at  our  hands,  neither

CHAPTER  14 

Sainton  desires  a  wife  of  the  Philis- 
tines: 6  he  kills  a  lion:  10  hie 
marriao*  feast:  12  his  riddle  :  19 
he  slays  thirty  Philistines. 

AND  SSm'son  went  down  to 
Tim'nath,  and  saw  a  woman 
in  Tim'nath  of  the  daughters 
of  the  PhMis'tines, 

2  And  he  came  up,  and  told 
his  father  and  his  mother,  and 
said,  I  have  seen  a  woman  in 
Tim'nath  of  the  daughters  of 
thePhi-hYtines:  now  therefore 
get  her  for  me  to  wife, 

3  Then  his  father  and  his 
mother  said  unto  him,  la  there 
never  a  woman  among  the 
daughters  of  thy  brethren,  or 
among  all  my  people,  that  thou 
goest  to  take  a  wife  of  the  un- 
drcmndsed  Phi-lis'tines?  And 
S&m'son  said  unto  his  father, 
Get  her  for  me ;  for  she  pleaseth 
me  well. 

4  But  his  father  and  his  moth- 
er knew  not  that  it  was  of  the 
Lord,  that  he  sought  an  occa- 
sion against  the  Phi-lis'tlnes : 
for  at  that  time  the  PhMIs'tlnes 
had  dominion  over  Is/ra-el. 

5  Then  went  SSm'son  down, 
and  his  father  and  his  mother, 
to  Tim'nath,  and  came  to  the 
vineyards  of  Tim'nath:  and, 
behold,  a  young  lion  roared 

Tinst  him. 
And  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
came  mightily  upon  him,  and 
he  rent  him  as  he  would  have 
rent  a  kid,  and  he  had  nothing 
in  his  hand:  but  he  told  not 
his  father  or  his  mother  what 
he  had  done. 

7  And  he  went  down,  and 
talked  with  the  woman;  and 
she  pleased  S&m'son  well. 

8  IF  And  after  a  time  he  re- 
turned to  take  her,  and  he 
turned  aside  to  see  the  carcase 
of  the  lion :  and,  behold,  there 
was  a  swarm  of  bees  and  hon- 
ey in  the  carcase  of  the  lion. 

9  And  he  took  thereof  in  his 
hands,  and  went  on  eating,  and 
came  to  his  father  and  mother, 
and  he  gave  them,  and  they 
did  eat:  but  he  told  not  them 
that  he  had  taken  the  honey 


out  of  the  carcase  of  the  lion. 

10  tSo  his  father  went  down 
unto  the  woman :  and  S&m'son 
made  there  a  feast ;  for  so  used 
the  young  men  to  do. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  saw  him,  that  they 
brought  thirty  companions  to 
be  with  him, 

12  And  S&m'son  said  unto 
them,  I  will  now  put  forth  a 
riddle  unto  you :  if  ye  can  cer- 
tainly declare  it  me  within  the 
seven  days  of  the  feast;  and 
find  it  out,  then  I  will  give  you 
thirty  sheets  and  thirty  change 
of  garments:. 

13  But  if  ye  cannot  declare  it 
me,  then  shall  ye  give  me  thir- 
ty sheets  and  thirty  change  of 
garments.  And  they  said  unto 
him,  Put  forth  thy  riddle,  that 
we  may  hear  it 

14  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Out  of  the  eater  came  forth 
meat,  and  out  of  the  strong 
came  forth  sweetness.  And 
they  could  not  in  three  days 
expound  the  riddle. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
seventh  day,  that  they  said  un- 
to Sam'son's  wife,  Entice  thy 
husband,  that  he  may  declare 
unto  us  the  riddle,  lest  we  burn 
thee  and  thy  father's  house 
with  fire:  have  ye  called  us  to 
take  that  we  have  lis  it  not  so? 

16  And  Sam'son's  wife  wept 
before  him,  and  said,  Thou  dost 
but  hate  me,  and  lovest  me 
not :  thou  hast  put  forth  a  rid- 
dle unto  the  children  of  my 
people,  and  hast  not  told  it  me. 
And  he  said  unto  her,  Behold,  I 
have  not  told  it  my  father  nor 
my  mother,  and  shall  I  tell  it 
thee? 

17  And  she  wept  before  him 
the  seven  days,  while  their 
feast  lasted:  and  it  came  to 
pass  on  the  seventh  day,  that 
he  told  her,  because  she  lay 
sore  upon  him:  and  she  told 
the  riddle  to  the  children  of 
her  people. 

18  And  the  men  of  the  city 
said  unto  him  on  the  seventh 
day  before  the  sun  went  down, 
What  is  sweeter  than  honey? 
and  what  is  stronger  than  a 
lion  ?  And  he  said  unto  them, 
If  ye  had  not  plowed  with  my 
heifer,  ye  had  not  found  out 
my  riddle. 

19  And  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
came  upon  him,  and  he  went 
down  to  Ash'ke-ldn,  and  slew 
thirty  men  of  them,  and  took 
their  spoil,  and  gave  change  of 
garments  unto  them  which  ex- 
pounded the  riddle.    And  his

anger  was  kindled,  and  he  went 
up  to  his  father's  house. 
20  But    Sam'son's    wife   was 
given  to  his  companion,  whom 
he  had  used  as  his  friend. 

CHAPTER  15 

Samson  is  denied  his  wife :  3  he  burns 
the  Philistines'  corn :  9  he  is  bound 
by  the  meno/Judah,  and  delivered 
to  the  Philistines :  14  he  kills  them 
with  a  jawbone. 

BUT  it  came  to  pass  within  a 
while  after,  in  the  time  of 
wheat  harvest,  that  Sam'son 
visited  his  wife  with  a  kid ;  and 
he  said,  I  will  go  in  to  my  wife 
into  the  chamber.  But  her  fa- 
ther would  not  suffer  him  to 
go  in. 

2  And  her  father  said,  I  verily 
thought  that  thou  hadst  utter- 
ly hated  her;  therefore  I  gave 
her  to  thy  companion:  is  not 
her  younger  sister  fairer  than 
she?  take  her,  I  pray  thee,  in- 
stead of  her. 

3  f  And  Sam'son  said  concern- 
ing them,  Now  shall  I  be  more 
blameless  than  the  Phi-Hs'tines, 
though  I  do  them  a  displeasure. 

4  And  Sam'son  went  and 
caught  three  hundred  foxes, 
and  took  firebrands,  and  turned 
tail  to  tail,  and  put  a  firebrand 
in  the  midst  between  two  tails. 

5  And  when  he  had  set  the 
brands  on  fire,  he  let  them  go 
into  the  standing  corn  of  the 
Phl-Hs'tineg,  and  burnt  up  both 
the  shocks,  and  also  the  stand- 
ing corn,  with  the  vineyards 
and  olives. 

6  Then  the  PhMIs'tlnea  said, 
Who  hath  done  this  ?  And  they 
answered,  Sam'son,  the  son  in 
law  of  the  Tim'nite,  because  he 
had  taken  his  wife,  and  given 
her  to  his  companion.  And  the 
PhMls'tfneg  came  up,  and  burnt 
her  and  her  father  with  fire. 

7  IT  And  Sam'son  said  unto 
them,  Though  ve  have  done 
this,  yet  will  I  be  avenged  of 
you,  and  after  that  I  will  cease. 

8  And  he  smote  them  hip  and 
thigh  with  a  great  slaughter: 
and  he  went  down  and  dwelt 
in  the  top  of  the  rock  E'tam. 

9  IfThen  the  Phi-lis'tlnes  went 
up,  and  pitched  in  Ju'dah,  and 
spreaQ  themselves  in  Le"hi. 

10  And  the  men  of  Jfi'dah  said, 
Why  are  ye  come  up  against 
us  ?  And  they  answered,  To  bind 
Sam'son  are  we  come  up,  to  do 
to  him  as  he  hath  done  to  us. 

11  Then  three  thousand  men 
of  Jfi'dah  went  to  the  top  of  the 
rock  fi'tam,  and  said  to  Sam'son, 
Knowest  thou  not  that  the  Phi- 
Hs'tines.  are  rulers  over  us? 


what  is  this  that  thou  hast 
done  unto  us  ?  And  he  said  unto 
them,  As  they  did  unto  me,  so 
have  I  done  unto  them. 

12  And  they  said  unto  him, 
We  are  come  down  to  bind  thee, 
that  we  may  deliver  thee  into 
the  hand  of  the  PhMIs'tmea, 
And  Sam'son  said  unto  them. 
Swear  unto  me,  that  ye  will  not 
fall  upon  me  yourselves. 

13  And  they  spake  unto  him, 
saying,  No;  but  we  will  bind 
thee  fast,  and  deliver  thee  into 
their  hand :  but  surely  we  will 
not  kill  thee.  And  they  bound 
him  with  two  new  cords,  and 
brought  him  up  from  the  rock. 

14  li  And  when  he  came  unto 
LThi,  the  Phi-lis'tines  shouted 
against  him :  and  the  Spirit  of 
the  Lord  came  mightily  upon 
him,  and  the  cords  that  were 
upon  his  arms  became  as  flax 
that  was  burnt  with  fire,  and 
his  bands  loosed  from  off  his 
hands. 

15  And  he  found  a  new  jaw- 
bone of  an  ass,  and  put  forth 
his  hand,  and  took  it,  and  slew 
a  thousand  men  therewith. 

16  And  Sam'son  said,  With  the 
jawbone  of  an  ass,  heaps  upon 
heaps,  with  the  jaw  of  an  ass 
have  I  slain  a  thousand  men. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  had  made  an  end  of  speak- 
ing, that  he  cast  away  the  jaw- 
bone out  of  his  hand,  and  called 
that  place  Ra'math-lS'hi. 

18  ITAnd  he  was  sore  athirst, 
and  called  on  the  Lord,  and 
said,  Thou  hast  given  this  great 
deliverance  into  the  hand  of 
thy  servant:  and  now  shall  I 
die  for  thirst,  and  fall  into  the 
hand  of  the  uncircumcised  ? 

19  But  God  clave  an  hollow 
place  that  was  in  the  jaw,  and 
there  came  water  thereout ;  and 
when  he  had  drunk,  his  spirit 
came  again,  and  he  revived 
wherefore  he  called  the  name 
thereof  Bn-haVko-rS,  which  is 
in  L£lii  unto  this  day. 

20  And  he  judged  Is/ra-el  in 
the  days  of  the  Phi-lis'tine* 
twenty  years. 

CHAPTER  16 

Samson  carries  away  the  gates  of 
Gaza.  4  Delilah,  corrupted  by  the 
Philistines,  entices  him:  15  he  is 
overcome:  21  the  Philistines  take 
him,  and  put  out  his  eyes  :  23  their 
feast  fa  Daoon.    26  His  death. 

THEN  went  Sam'son  to  Gfi'za, 
and  saw  there  an  harlot, 
and  went  in  unto  her. 
2  And  it  was  told  the  GS'zites, 
saying,  Sam'son  is  come  hither. 
And  they  compassed  him  in, 
and  laid  wait  for  him  all  night

in  the  gate  of  the  city,  and  were  |  mocked  me,  and  told  me  lies : 
quiet  all  the  night,  saying,  In 
tne  morning,  when  it  is  day, 
we  shall  kill  him. 

3  And  Sfim'son  lay  till  mid- 
night, and  arose  at  midnight, 
and  took  the  doors  of  the  gate 
of  the  city,  and  the  two  posts, 
and  went  away  with  them,  bar 
and  all,  and  put  them  upon  his 
shoulders,  and  carried  tbem  up 
to  the  top  of  an  hill  that  xe 
before  He"bron. 

4  ITAnd  it  came  to  pass  after- 
ward, that  he  loved  a  woman 
in  the  valley  of  SC'rek,  whose 
name  was  Dg-lMah. 

5  And  the  lords  of  the  Phl-Hs'- 
tifnea  came  up  unto  her,  and 
said  unto  her,  Entice  him,  and 
see  wherein  his  great  strength 
lieth,  and  by  what  means  we 
may  prevail  against  him,  that 
we  may  bind  him  to  afflict  him : 
and  we  will  give  thee  every  one 
of  us  eleven  hundred  pieces  of 
silver. 

6  And  D*-li1ah  said  to  Sfim'- 
son, Tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  where- 
in thy  great  strength  lieth,  and 
wherewith  thou  mightest  be 
bound  to  afflict  thee. 

7  And  Sfim'son  said  unto  her, 
If  they  bind  me  with   seven 

Seen  withs  that  were  never 
led,  then  shall  I  be  weak,  and 
be  as  another  man. 

8  Then  the  lords  of  the  Phi- 
listines, brought  up  to  her  seven 
green  withs  which  had  not  been 
dried,  and  she  bound  him  with 
them. 

9  Now  there  were  men  lying 
in  wait,  abiding  with  her  in  the 
chamber.  And  she  said  unto 
him,  The  Phi4is'tfnea  be  upon 
thee,  Sfim'son.  And  he  brake 
the  withs,  as  a  thread  of  tow  is 
broken  when  it  toucheth  the 
fire.  So  his  strength  was  not 
known. 

10  And    D&-H1ah    said  unto 
Sfim'son,    Behold,    thou    hast 
mocked  me,  and  told  me  lies 
now  tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  where- 
with thou  mightest  be  bound. 

11  And  he  said  unto  her,  If 
they  bind  me  fast  with  new 
ropes  that  never  were  occupied, 
then  shall  I  be  weak,  and  be  as 
another  man. 

12  Delilah  therefore  took 
new  ropes,  and  bound  him 
therewith,  and  said  unto  him, 
The  Phi-lis'tinea  be  upon  thee, 
Sfim'son.  And  there  were  Hers 
in  wait  abiding  in  the  chamber. 
And  he  brake  them  from  off  his 
arms  like  a  thread. 

13  And  DMilah  said  unto 
Sfim'son,   Hitherto   thou   hast

tell  me  wherewith  thou  might-

to her,  If  thou  weavestthe  sev- 
en locks  of  my  head  with  the 
web. 

14  And  she  fastened  it  with 
the  pin,  and  said  unto  him,  The 
Phi-lis'tinea  be  upon  thee,  Sfim'- 
son. And  he  awaked  out  of  his 
sleep,  and  went  away  with  the 
pin  of  the  beam,  and  with  the 
web. 

15  ITAnd  she  said  unto  him, 
How  canst  thou  say,  I  love  thee, 
when  thine  heart  is  not  with 
me?  thou  hast  mocked  me  these 
three  times,  and  hast  not  told 
me  wherein  thy  great  strength 
lieth. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
she  pressed  him  daily  with  her 
words,  and  urged  him,  so  that 
his  soul  was  vexed  unto  death ; 

17  That  he  told  her  all  his 
heart,  and  said  unto  her,  There 
hath  not  come  a  razor  upon 
mine  head ;  for  I  have  been  a 
NaYa-rite  unto  God  from  my 
mother's  womb :  if  I  be  shaven, 
then  my  strength  will  go  from 
me,  and  I  shall  become  weak, 
and  be  like  any  other  man. 

18  And  when  Delilah  saw 
that  he  had  told  her  all  his 
heart,  she  sent  and  called  for 
the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tinea, 
saying,  Come  up  this  once,  for 
he  hath  shewed  me  all  his 
heart  Then  the  lords  of  the 
Phi-lis'tinea  came  up  unto  her, 
and  brought  money  in  their 
hand. 

19  And  she  made  him  sleep 
upon  her  knees ;  and  she  called 
for  a  man,  and  she  caused  him 
to  shave  off  the  seven  locks  of 
his  head ;  and  she  began  to  af- 
flict him,  and  his  strength  went 
from  him. 

20  And  she  said,  The  Phi-lis'- 
tinea be  upon  thee,  Sfim'son. 
And  he  awoke  out  of  his  sleep, 
and  said,  I  will  go  out  as  at 
other  times  before,  and  shake 
myself.  And  he  wist  not  that 
the  Lord  was  departed  from 
him. 

21  But  the  Phi-lis'tinea  took 
him,  and  put  out  his  eyes,  and 
brought  him  down  to  Gfi'sa, 
and  bound  him  with  fetters  of 
brass ;  and  he  did  grind  in  the 
prison  house. 

22  Howbeit  the  hair  of  his 
head  began  to  grow  again  after 
he  was  shaven. 

23  Then    the    lords   of   the 
PhHis'tinea  gathered  them  to- 
gether for  to  offer  a  great  sac*'  Ex.32.4,  Idolatry  (4)

and'  to  rejoice;:  for  they  said, 
Our  god  hath  delivered  Sam' 
son  our  enemy  into  our  hand. 

24  And  when  the  people  saw 
him,  they  praised  their,  god :  for 
they  said,  Our  god  hath  deliv- 
ered into  our  hands  our  enemy, 
and  the  destroyer  of  our  coun 
try,  which  slew  many  of  us. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
their  hearts  were, merry,  that 
they  said,  Call  for  Sim'son,  that 
he  may  make  us  sport.  And 
they  called  for  Sim  son  out  of 
the  prison  house;  and  he  made 
them  sport:  and  they  set  him 
between  the  pillars. 

26  And  Sani 'son  said  unto  the 
lad  that  held  him  by  the  hand, 
Suffer  me  that  I  may  feel  the 
pillars  whereupon  the  house 
standeth,  that  I  may  lean  upon 
them.  . 

27  Now  the.  house  was  full  of 
men  and  women ;  and  all  the 
lords  of  the  Phl-Iis'tines.  were 
there ;  and  there  were  upon  the 
roof  about  three  thousand  men 
and  women*  that  beheld  while 
S&m'son  made  sport 

28  And  SSm'son  called  unto 
the  Lord,  and  said,  O  Lord  God, 
remember  me,  I  pray  thee,  and 
strengthen  me,  I  pray  thee, 
only  this  once,  O  God,  that  I 
may  be  at  once  avenged  of  the 
PhMis'tlnes  for  my  two  eyes. 

29  And  SSm'son  took  hold  of 
the  two  middle  pillars  upon 
which  the  house  stood,  and  on 
which  it  was  borne  up,  of  the 
one. with  his  right  hand,  and  of 
the  other  with  his  left 

30  And  SSm'son  said,  Let  me 
die  with  the  Philis'tinea*  And 
he  bowed  himself  with  all  his 
might;  and  the  house  fell  upon 
the  lords,  and  upon  all  the  peo- 
ple that  were  therein.  So  the 
dead  which  he  slew  at  his  death 
were  more  than  they  whidi  he 
slew  in  his  life 

31  Then  his  brethren  and  all 
the  house  of  his  father  came 
down,  and  took  him,  and 
brought  him  up,  and  buried 
him  between  Zd'rah  and  fish'' 
ta-ol  in  the  buryingplace  of 
M&-n5'ah-  his  father.  And  he 
judged  ls/ra^el  twenty  years.

AND   there  was  a  man  of)  me

name  was  MTcah. 
2  And  he  said  unto  his  moth- 
er, The  eleven  hundred  shekels 
of*  silver  that  were  taken  from 


thee,  about  which  thou  cursedst, 
and  spakest  of  also  in  mine  ears, 
behold,  the  silver  is  with  me ;  I 
took  it  And  his  mother  said, 
Blessed  be  thou  of  the  Lord, 
my  son. 

3  And  when  he  had  restored 
the  eleven  hundred  shekels  of 
silver  to  his  mother,  his  mother 
said,  I  had  wholly  dedicated  the 
silver  unto  the  Lord  from  my 
hand  for  my  son,  to  make  a  gra- 
ven image  and  a  molten  image : 
now  therefore  I  will  restore  it 
unto  thee. 

4  Yet  he  restored  the  money 
unto  his  mother;  and  his  moth- 
er took  two  hundred  shekels  of 
silver,  and  gave  them  to  the 
founder,  who  made  thereof  a 
graven  image  and  a  molten  im- 
age :  and  they  were  in  the  house 
of  MTcah. 

5  And  the  man  MTcah  had  an 
house  of  gods,  and  made  an 
ephod,  and  teraphim,  and  con 
secrated  one  of  his  sons,  who 
became  his  priest 

6  In  those  davs  there  was  no

aLe'vite,  and  he  sojourned  there. 

8  And  the  man  departed  out  of 
the  city  from  BeW-lS-hem-jfi'- 
dah  to  sojourn  where  he  could 
find  a  place: and  he  came  to 
mount  E'phriWm  to  the  house 
of  MTcah,  as  he  journeyed. 

9  And  MTcah  said  unto  him, 
Whence  contest  thou?  And  he 
said  unto  him,  I  am  a  Le'vite  of 
B*thM*henHu'dah,  and  I  go  to 
sojourn  where  I  may  find  a 
place. 

10  And  MTcah  said  unto  him, 
Dwell  with  me,  and  be  unto  me 
a  father  and  a  priest,  and  I  will 
give  thee  ten  shekels  of  silver 
by  the  year,  and  a  suit  of  ap- 
parel, and  thy  victuals.  So  the 
Lg'vite  went  in. 

11  And  the  LeVite  was  con- 
tent to  dwell  with  the  man ;  and 
the  youngman  was  unto  him  as 
one  of  his  sons.   - 

12  And  MTcah  consecrated' the 
Le'vite ;  and  the  young  man  be- 
came his  priest  and  was  in  the 
house  of  MTcah. 

13  Then  said  MTcah,  Now 
know  I  that  the  Lord  will  do 

good,  seeing  I  have  a  Le'- 
vite to  my  priest

IN  those  days  there  was  no 
kinginls/ra^el:  and  in  those 
days  the  tribe  of  the  Danltes 
sought  them  an  inheritance  to 
dwell  in ;  for  unto  that  day  all 
their  inheritance  had  not  fall- 
en unto  them  among  the  tribes 
of  Is'ra-el. 

2  And  the  children  of  Dan 
sent  of  their  family  five  men 
from  their  coasts,  men  of  val- 
our, from  ZQ'rah,  and  from  fish - 
ta-51,  to  spy  out  the  land,  and  to 
search  it;  and  they  said  unto 
them,  Go, search  the  land:  who 
when  they  came  to  mount 
Ifrmra-im,  to  the  house  of  Mi'- 
cah, they  lodged  there. 

3  When  they  were  by  the 
house  of  Mi'cah,  they  knew  the 
voice  of  the  young  man  the 
LeVite:  and  they  turned  in 
thither,  and  said  unto  him, 
Who  brought  thee  hither? 
and  what  makest  thou  in  this 
place?  and  what  hast  thou 
here? 

4  And  he  said  unto  them. 
Thus  and  thus  dealeth  Mi'cah 
with  me,  and  hath  hired  me, 
and  I  am  his  priest 

5  And  they  said  unto  him,  Ask 
counsel,  we  pray  thee,  of  God, 
that  we  may  snow  whether  our 
way  which  we  go  shall  be  pros- 
perous. 

6  And  the  priest  said  unto 
them,  Go  in  peace :  before  the 
Lord  is  your  way  wherein 
ye  go. 

7  If  Then  the  five  men  departed, 
and  came  to  L&1sh,  and  saw  the 
people  that  were  therein,  how 
they  dwelt  careless,  after  the 
manner  of  the  Zi-dd'nl-ona,  quiet 
and  secure;  and  there  was  no 
magistrate  in  the  land,  that 
might  put  them  to  shame  in 
any  thing ;  and  they  were  far 
from  the  Zi-dS'ni-ans,  and  had 
no  business  with  any  man. 

8  And  they  came  unto  their 
brethren  to  Zft'rah  and  £sh'ta- 
01 :  and  their  brethren  said  unto 
them,  What  say  ye? 

9  And  they  said,  Arise,  that 
we  may  go  up  against  them: 
for  we  have  seen  the  land,  and, 
behold,  it  is  very  good:  and 
are  ye  still  ?  be  not  slothful  to 
to,  and  to  enter  to  possess  the 
(and. 

10  When  ye  go,  ye  shall  come 
unto  a  people  secure,  and  to  a 
large  land :  for  God  hath  given 
it  into  your  hands ;  a  place 
where  there  is  no  want  or  any 
thins  that  is  in  the  earth. 

11  TT  And  there  went  from 
thence  of'  the  family  of  the 
Unites,  out  of  Zo'rah  and  out 


of  £sh'ta-ol,  six  hundred  men 
appointed  with  weapons  of  war. 

12  And   they  -  went   up,  and 

?  itched  in  Kir'jath-^S'a-rim,  in 
ufdah:  wherefore  they  called 
that  place  Matia-neh-dan'  unto 
this  day:  behold,  it  is  behind 
KSi'jath-jg'a-rhTL 

13  And  they  passed  thence 
unto  mount  £rphra-fm,  and 
came  unto  the  house  of  Mi'cah. 

14  Then  answered  the  five 
men  that  went  to  spy  out  the 
country  of  L&'ish,  and  said  unto 
their  brethren,  Do  ye  know  that 
there  is  in  these  houses  an 
ephod,  and  teraphim,  and  a  gra- 
ven image,  and  a  molten  im- 
age? now  therefore  consider 
what  ye  have  to  do. 

•  15  And  they  turned  thither- 
ward, and  came  to  the  house  of 
the  young  man  the  Le'vite,  even 
unto  the  house  of  Mi'cah,  and 
saluted  him. 

16  And  the  six  hundred  men 
appointed  with  their  weapons 
of  war,  which  were  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Dan,  stood  by  the' enter- 
ing of  the  gate; 

17  And  the  five  men  that  went 
to  spy  out  the  land  went  up, 
and  came  in  thither,  and  took 
the  graven  image,  and  the 
ephod,  and  the  teraphim,  and 
the  molten  image:  arid  the  priest 
stood  in  the  entering  of  the 
gate  with  the  six  hundred  men 
that  were  appointed  with  weap- 
ons of  war. 

18  And  these  went  into  Mi' 
can's  house,  and  fetched  the 
carved  image,  the  ephod,  and 
the  teraphim,  and  the  mblten 
image.  Then  said  the  priest 
unto  them,  What  do  ye? 

19  And  they  said  unto  him, 
Hold*  thy  peace,  lay  thine  htuid 
upon  thy  mouth,  and  go  with 
us,  and  be  to  us  a  father  and  a 

Eriest :  is  it  better  for  thee  to 
e  a  priest  unto  the  house  of 
one  man,  or  that  thou  be  a 
priest  unto  a  tribe  and  a  family 
fnls'ra-el? 

20  And  the  priest's  heart  was 
glad,  and  he  took  the  ephod, 
and  the  teraphim,  and  the  gra- 
ven image,  and  went  in  the 
midst  of  the  people. 

21  So  they  turned  and  depart- 
ed, and  put  the  little  ones  and 
the  cattle  and  the  carriage  be- 
fore them. 

22  %And  when  they  were  a 
good  way  from  the  house  of 
Mi'cah,  the  men  that  were  in 
the  houses  near  to  Ml'cah's 
house  were  gathered  together, 
and  overtook  the  children  of 
Dftn.

23  And  they  cried  unto  the 
children  of  Din.  And  they 
turned  their  faces,  and  said 
unto  Mi'cah,  What  aileth  thee, 
that  thou  comest  with  such  a 
company? 

24  And  he  said,  Ye  have  taken 
away  my  gods  which  I  made, 
and  the  priest,  and  ye  are  gone 
away:  and  what  have  I  more? 
and  what  is  this  that  ye  say 
unto  me,  What  aileth  thee? 

25  And  the  children  of  Dan 
said  unto  him,  Let  not  thy  voice 
be  heard  among  us,  lest  angry 
fellows  run  upon  thee,  and  thou 
lose  thy  life,  with  the  lives  of 
thy  household. 

26  And  the  children  of  Dan 
went  their  way :  and  when  Mi'- 
cah  saw  that  they  were  too 
strong  for  him,  he  turned  and 
went  back  unto  his  house. 

27  And  they  took  the  things 
which  Mi'can  had  made,  and 
the  priest  which  he  had,  and 
came  unto  Lfi'ish,  unto  a  people 
that  were  at  quiet  and  secure: 
and  they  smote  them  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword,  and  burnt 
the  city  with  fire. 

28  And  there  was  no  deliverer, 
because  it  was  far  from  Zi'ddn, 
and  they  had  no  business  with 
any  man;  and  it  was  in  the 
valley  that  lieth  by  B€th-r€'- 
htib.  And  thev  built  a  city, 
and  dwelt  therein. 

29  And  they  called  the  name 
of  the  city  Dfin,  after  the  name 
of  Dfin  their  father,  who  was 
born  unto  Is/ra-el :  howbeit  the 
name  of  the  city  was  Lfi'ish  at 
the  first 

30  And  the  children  of  Dfin 
set  up  the  graven  image :  and 
J5n'a-than,  the  son  of  GeVshffm, 
the*  son  of  Mfi-nfis'seh,  he  and 
his  sons  were  priests  to  the 
tribe  of  Dfin  until  the  day  of 
the  captivity  of  the  land. 

31  And  they  set  them  up  MT- 
cah's  graven  image,  which  he 
made,  all  the  time  that  the 
house  of  God  was  in  ShilSh. 

•     CHAPTER  19 

A  Leviie  going  to  Beih4ehem  to  fetch 
his  wife,  16  an  old  man  entertains 
him  at  Gibeah:  22  the  Gibeathites 
abuse  his  concubine  to  death.  29 
Hie  behavior. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  those 
days,  when  there  was  no 
king  in  Ig'ra-el,  that  there  was 
a  certain  Le'vite  sojourning  on 
the  side  of  mount  E'phri-im, 
who  took  to  him  a  concubine 
out  of  Belh'-lg-hem-ju'dah. 
2  And  his  concubine  played 
the  whore  against  him,  and 
went  away  from  him  unto  her 


father's  house  to  B£th'-l£-hem- 
ju'dah,  and  was  there  four  whole 
months. 

3  And  her  husband  arose,  and 
went  after  her,  to  speak  friend- 
ly unto  her,  and  to  bring  her 
again,  having  his  servant  with 
him,  and  a  couple  of  asses:  and 
she  brought  him  into  her  fa- 
ther's house:  and  when  the  fa- 
ther of  the  damsel  saw  him,  he 
rejoiced  to  meet  him. 

4  And  his  father  in  law,  the 
damsel's  father,  retained  him; 
and  he  abode  with  him  three 
days:  so  they  did  eat  and  drink, 
and  lodged  there. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
fourth  day,  when  they  arose 
early  in  the  morning,  that  he 
rose  up  to  depart :  and  the  dam- 
sel's father  said  unto  his  son  in 
law,  Comfort  thine  heart  with  a 
morsel  of  bread,  and  afterward 
go  your  way. 

6  And  they  sat  down,  and  did 
eat  and  drink  both  of  them  to- 
gether: for  the  damsel's  father 
had  said  unto  the  man,  Be  con- 
tent,  I  pray  thee,  and  tarry  all 
night,  and  let  thine  heart  be 
merry. 

7  And  when  the  man  rose  up 
to  depart,  his  father  in  law 
urged  him:  therefore  he  lodged 
there  again. 

8  And  he  arose  early  in  the 
morning  on  the  fifth  day  to  de- 
part: and  the  damsel's  father 
said,  Comfort  thine  heart, 
pray  thee.  And  they  tarried 
until  afternoon,  and  they  did 
eat  both  of  them. 

9  And  when  the  man  rose  up 
to  depart,  he,  and  his  concu- 
bine, and  his  servant,  his  father 
in  law,  the  damsel's  father,  said 
unto  him,  Behold,  now  the  day 
draweth  toward  evening,  I  pray 
you  tarry  all  night :  behold,  the 
day  groweth  to  an  end,  lodge 
here,  that  thine  heart  may  be 
merry ;  and  to  morrow  get  you 
early  on  your  way,  that  thou 
mayest  go  home. 

10  But  the  man  would  not 
tarry  that  night,  but  he  rose  up 
and  departed,  and  came  over 
against  Je^bus,  which  is  JS-ru'- 
sfi-lem;  and  there  were  with 
him  two  asses  saddled,  his  con- 
cubine also  was  with  him. 

11  And  when  they  were  by 
Je'bus,  the  day  was  far  spent ; 
and  the  servant  said  unto  his 
master,  Come,  I  pray  thee,  and 
let  us  turn  in  into  this  city  of 
the  JeVu-sites,  and  lodge  in  it

ger,  that  is  not  of  the  children 
of  ls'ra-el ;  we  will  pass  over  to

13  And  he  said  unto  his  serv- 
ant, Come,  and  let  us  draw  near 
to  one  of  these  places  to  lodge 
all  n^ght,  in  Glb'e-ah,  or  in  Rft'- 
man. 

14  And  they  passed  on  and 
went  their  way;  and  the  sun 
went  down  upon  them  when 
they  were  by  Glb'e-ah,  which 
belongeth  to  Ben'ja-mln. 

15  And  they  turned  aside 
thither,  to  go  in  and  to  lodge 
in  Glb'e-ah :  and  when  he  went 
in,  he  sat  him  down  in  a  street 
of  the  city :  for  there  was  no 
man  that  took  them  into  his 
house  to  lodging. 

16  ITAnd,  behold,  there  came 
an  old  man  from  his  work  out 
of  the  field  at  even,  which  was 
also  of  mount  E'phrfi-lm;  and 
he  sojourned  in  Glb'e-ah:  but 
the  men  of  the  place  were  Ben'- 
ja-mltes. 

17  And  when  he  had  lifted  up 
his  eves,  he  saw  a  wayfaring 
man  in  the  street  of  the  city: 
and  the  old  man  said,  Whither 
goest  thou?  and  whence  com- 
est  thou? 

18  And  he  said  unto  him,  We 
are  passing  from  B£th'-lS-hem- 
ja'dah  toward  the  side  of  mount 
E'phra-Im ;  from  thence  am  I 
and  I  went  to  Bett'-lfc-hem-jfi' 
dab,  but  I  am  now  going  to  the 
house  of  the  Lord;  and  there 
is  no  man  that  receiveth  me  to 
house. 

19  Yet  there  is  both  straw  and 
provender  for  our  asses;  and 
there  is  bread  and  wine  also 
for  me,  and  for  thy  handmaid, 
and  for  the  young  man  which 
is  with  thy  servants :  there  is 
no  want  of  any  thing. 

20  And  the  old  man  said, 
Peace  be  with  thee ;  howsoever 
let  all  thy  wants  lie  upon  me ; 
only  lodge  not  in  the  street. 

21  So  he  brought  him  into  his 
house,  and  gave  provender  un- 
to the  asses :  and  they  washed 
their  feet,  and  did  eat  and  drink. 

22  IWow  as  they  were  mak- 
ing their  hearts  merry,  behold, 
the  men  of  the  city,  certain  sons 
of  Bell-al,  beset  the  house  round 
about,  and  beat  at  the  door,  and 
spake  to  the  master  of  the  house, 
the  old  man,  saying,  Bring  forth 
the  man  that  came  into  thine 
house,  that  we  may  know  him. 

23  And  the  man,  the  master 
of  the  house,  went  out  unto 
them,  and  said  unto  them,  Nay, 
my  brethren,  nay,  I  pray  you, 
do  not  so  wickedly ;  seeing  that 


this  man  is  come  into  mine 
house,  do  not  this  folly. 

24  Behold,  here  is  my  daugh- 
ter a  maiden,  and  his  concu- 
bine; them  I  will  bring  out 
now,  and  humble  ye  them,  and 
do  with  them  what  seemeth 
good  unto  you:  but  unto  this 
man  do  not  so  vile  a  thing. 

25  But  the  men  would  not 
hearken  to  him:  so  the  man 
took  his  concubine,  and  brought 
her  forth  unto  them ;  and  they 
knew  her,  and  abused  her  all 
the  night  until  the  morning: 
and  when  the  day  began  to 
spring,  they  let  her  go. 

26  Then  came  the  woman  in 
the  dawning  of  the  day,  and 
fell  down  at  the  door  of  the 
man's  house  where  her  lord 
wasf  till  it  was  light 

27  And  her  lord  rose  up  in  the 
morning,  and  opened  the  doors 
of  the  house,  and  went  out  to 
go  his  way:  and,  behold,  the 
woman  his  concubine  was  fall- 
en down  at  the  door  of  the 
house,  and  her  hands  were  up- 
on the  threshold. 

28  And  he  said  unto  her,  Up, 
and  let  us  be  going.  But  none 
answered.  Then  the  man  took 
her  up  upon  an  ass,  and  the 
man  rose  up,  and  gat  him  unto 
his  place. 

29  UAnd  when  he  was  come 
into  his  house,  he  took  a  knife, 
and  laid  hold  on  his  concubine, 
and  divided  her,  together  with 
her  bones,  into  twelve  pieces, 
and  sent  her  into  all  the  coasts 
of  Is'ra-el. 

30  And  it  was  so,  that  all  that 
saw  it  said,  There  was  no  such 
deed  done  nor  seen  from  the 
day  that  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
came  up  out  of  the  land  of 
Ergjfpt  unto  this  day :  consider 
of  it,  take  advice,  and  speak 
your  minds. 

CHAPTER  20 

The  Levite,  in  a  general  assembly, 
declares  his  wrong  :  8  their  decree. 
18  The  Israelites  lose  forty  thou- 
sand; 26  they  seek  to  God.  29  They 
destroy  all  the  Benjamites  except 
six  hundred. 

THEN  all  the  children  of  Is/- 
ra-el  went  out,  and  the  con- 
gregation was  gathered  togeth- 
er as  one  man,  from  Dan  even 
to  Be'er-shS'ba,  with  the  land 
of  GI]'e-&d,  unto  the  Lord  in 
Miz'peh. 

2  And  the  chief  of  all  the  peo- 
ple, even  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is> 
ra-el,  presented  themselves  in 
the  assembly  of  the  people  of 
God,  four  hundred  thousand 
footmen  that  drew  sword.

ja-min  heard  that  the  children 
of  Ig'ra-el  were  gone  up  to  Miz'- 
peh.)  Then  said  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  Tell  us%  how  was  this 
wickedness  ? 

4  And  the  LeVite,  the  husband 
of  the  woman  that  was.  slain, 
answered  and  said,  I  came  into 
Gib'e-ah  that  belongeth  to  Ben'- 
ia-min, I  and  my  concubine,  to 
lodge. 

5  And  the  men  of  Gib'e-ah 
rose  against  me,  and  beset  the 
house  round  about  upon  me  by 
night,  and  thought  to  have 
slain  me:  and  my  concubine 
have  they  forced,  that  she  is 
dead. 

6  And  I  took  my  concubine, 
and  cut  her. in  pieces,  and  sent 
her  throughout  all  the  country 
of  the  inheritance  of  Ig'ra-el :  for 
they  have  committed  lewdness 
and  folly  in  Ig'ra-el. 

7  Behold,  ye  are  all  children 
of  Is'ra-el;  give  here  your  ad- 
vice and  counsel 

8  HAnd  all  the  people  arose  as 
one  man,  saying,  We  will  not 
any  of  us  go  to  his  tent,  nei- 
ther will  we  any  of  us  turn  in- 
to his  house. 

9  But  now  this  shall  be  the 
thing  which  we  will  do  to  Gib'- 
e-ah;  we  will  go  up  by  lot 
against  it; 

10  And  we  will  take  ten  men 
of  an  hundred  throughout  all 
the  tribes  of  Ig'ra-el,  and  an 
hundred  of  a  thousand,  and  a 
thousand  out  of  ten  thousand, 
to  fetch  victual  for  the  people, 
that  they  may  do,  when  they 
come  to  Gib'e-ah  of  Ben'ia-min, 
according  to  all  the  folly  that 
they  have  wrought  in  Ig'ra-el. 

11  So  all  the  men  of  Is/ra-el 
were  gathered  against  the  city, 
knit  together  as  one  man. 

12  f  And  the  tribes  of  Ig'ra-el 
sent  men  through  all  the  tribe 
of  Ben'ja-min,  saying,  What 
wickedness  is  this  that  is  done 
among  you? 

13  Now  therefore  deliver  us 
the  men,  the  children  of  Beli- 
al, which  are  in  Gib'e-ah,  that 
we  may  put  them  to  death, 
and  put  away  evil  from  Ig'ra-el. 
But  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min 
would  not  hearken  to  the  voice 
of  their  brethren  the  children 
of  Ig'ra-el : 

14  But  the  children  of  Ben'ja- 
min  gathered    themselves    to- 

g ether  out  of  the  cities  unto 
Ib'e-ah,  to  go  out  to  battle 
against  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el. 

15  And  the  children  of  BeV- 
ja-mln  were  numbered  at  that 
time  out  of  the  cities  twenty: 


and  six  thousand  men  that 
drew  sword,  beside  the  inhab- 
itants of  Gib'e-ah,  which  were 
numbered  seven  hundred  chos- 
en men. 

16  Among  all  this  people 
there  were  seven  hundred  chos- 
en men  lefthanded;  every  one 
could  sling  stones  at  an  hair 
breadth,  and  not  miss. 

17  And  the  men  of  Ig'ra-el, 
beside  Ben'ja-min,  were  num- 
bered four  hundred  thousand 
men  that  drew  sword :  all  these 
were  men  of  war. 

18  H  And  the  children  of  Ig'- 
ra-el arose,  and  went  up  to  the 
house  of  God,  and  asked  coun- 
sel of  God,  and  said,  Which  of 
us  shall  go  up  first  to  the  bat- 
tle against  the  children  of 
Ben'ja-min?  And  the  Lord 
said,  Jfi'dah  shall  go  up  first 

19  And  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el 
rose  up  in  the .  morning,  and 
encamped  against  Gib'e-ah. 

20  And  the  men  of  Ig'ra-el 
went  out  to  battle  against 
Ben'ja-min;  and  the  men  of 
Ig'ra-el  put  themselves  in  ar- 
ray to  fight  against  them  at 
Gib'e-ah. 

21  And  the  children  of  Ben 
ja-min  came  forth  out  of  Gib'- 
e-ah, and  destroyed  down  to 
the  ground  of  the  Ig'ra-el-ites 
that  day  twenty  and  two  thou- 
sand men. 

22  And  the  people  the  men  of 
Ig'ra-el  encouraged  themselves, 
and  set  their  battle  again  in 
array  in  the  place  where  they 
put  themselves  in  array  the 
first  day. 

23  (And  the  children  of  Is/ 
ra-el  went  up  and  wept  before 
the  Lord  until  even,  and  asked 
counsel  of  the  Lord*  saying, 
Shall  I  go  up  again  to  battle 
against  the  children  of  Ben'ia- 
min  my  brother?  And  the 
Lord  said,  Go  up  against  him.) 

24  And  the  children  of  •Ig'ra- 
el  came  near  against  the, chil- 
dren of  Ben'ja-min  the  second 
day. 

25  And  Ben' ja-min  went  forth 
against  them  out  of  Gib'e-ah 
the  second  day,  and  destroyed 
down  to  the  ground  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ig'ra-el  again  eighteen 
thousand  men;  all  these  drew 
the  sword. 

26  HThen  all  the  children  of 
Ig'ra-el,  and  all  the  people,  went 
up,  and  came  unto  the  house  of 
God,  and  wept,  and  sat  there  be- 
fore the  Lord,  and  fasted  that 
day  until  even,  and  offered  burnt 
offerings  and  peace  offerings  be- 
fore the  Lord.

27  And  the  children  of  Is/ra- 
el  enquired  of  the  Lord,  (for 
the  arK  of  the  covenant  of  God 
wa9  there  in  those  days, 

28  And  Phin'e-has,  the  son  of 
£-le£'zar,  the  son  of  Afir'on, 
stood  before  it  in  those  days,) 
saying,  Shall  I  yet  again  go  out 
to  battle  against  the  children 
of  Ben'ja-min  my  brother,  or 
shall  I  cease?  And  the  Lord 
said,  Go  up ;  for  to  morrow  I  will 
deliver  them  into  thine  hand. 

29  ?And  Is/ra-el  set  liers  in 
wait  round  about  Gib'e-ah. 

30  And  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
went  up  against  the  children  of 
Ben'ja-min  on  the  third  day, 
and  put  themselves  in  array 
against  Gib'e-ah,  as  at  other 
times. 

31  And  the  children  of  Ben'- 
ja-min went  out  against  the 
people,  and  were  drawn  away 
from  the  city;  and  they  began 
to  smite  of  the  people,  and  kill, 
as  at  other  times,  in  the  high- 
ways, of  which  one  goeth  up 
to  the  house  of  God,  and  the 
other  to  Gib'e-ah  in  the  field, 
about  thirty  men  of  Ig'ra-ei. 

32  And  the  children  of  B€n'- 
ja-mln  said,  They  are  smitten 
down  before  us,  as  at  the  first 
But  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
said,  Let  us  flee,  and  draw 
them  from  the  city  unto  the 
highways. 

33  And  all  the  men  of  Is/ra-el 
rose  up  out  of  their  place,  and 
put  themselves  in  array  at  Ba'- 
aMa'mar:  and  the  liers  in  wait 
of  Is/ra-el  came  forth  out  of 
their  places,  even  out  of  the 
meadows  of  Gib'e-ah. 

34  And  there  came  against 
Gib'e-ah  ten  thousand  chosen 
men  out  of  all  Is/ra-el,  and  the 
battle  was  sore:  but  they  knew 
not  that  evil  was  near  them. 

35  And  the  Lord  smote  Ben'- 
ja-min before  Is/ra-el:  and  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el  destroyed  of 
the  Ben'ja-mites  that  day  twen- 
ty and  five  thousand  and  an 
hundred  men:  all  these  drew 
the  sword. 

36  So  the  children  of  Ben'ja- 
min  saw  that  they  were  smit- 
ten: for  the  men  of  Is/ra-el 

ive  place  to  the  Ben'ja-mites, 
cause  they  trusted  unto  the 

liers  in  wait  which  they  had 

set  beside  Gib'e-ah. 

37  And  the  liers  in  wait 
hasted,  and  rushed  upon  Gib'- 
e-ah; and  the  liers  in  wait 
drew  themselves  along,  and 
smote  all  the  city  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword. 

38  Now  there  was  an  appoint- 


ed sign  between  the  men  of  Is/- 
ra-el  and  the  liers  in  wait,  that 
they  should  make  a  great  flame 
with  smoke  rise  up  out  of  the 
city.  p.pJos.8.8. 

39  And  when  the  men  of  Is/ 
ra-el  retired  in  the  battle,  Ben'- 
ja-min began  to  smite  and  kill 
of  the  men  of  Is/ra-el  about 
thirty  persons:  for  they  said, 
Surely  they  are  smitten  down 
before  us,  as  tin  the  first  battle. 

40  But  when  the  flame  began 
to  arise  up  out  of  the  city  with 
a  pillar  of  smoke,  the  Ben'ja- 
mites  looked  behind  them,  and, 
behold,  the  flame  of  the  city  as- 
cended up  to  heaven. 

41  And  when  the  men  of  & 
ra-el  turned  again,  the  men  of 
Ben'ja-min  were  amazed:  for 
they  saw  that  evil  was  come 
upon  them. 

42  Therefore  they  turned 
their  backs  before  the  men  of 
Is/ra-el  unto  the  way  of  the 
wilderness ;  but  the  battle  over- 
took them;  and  them  which 
came  out  of  the  cities  they  de- 
stroyed in  the  midst  of  them. 

43  Thus  they  inclosed  the 
Ben'ja-mites  round  about,  and 
chased  them,  and  trode  them 
down  with  ease  over  against 
Gib'e-ah  toward  the  sunrising. 

44  And  there  fell  of  Ben'ja- 
min  eighteen  thousand  men; 
all  these  were  men  of  valour. 

45  And  they  turned  and  fled 
toward  the  wilderness  unto  the 
rock  of  RIm'mon:  and  they 
gleaned  of  them  in  the  high- 
ways five  thousand  men;  and 
pursued  hard  after  them  unto 
Gi'dom,  and  slew  two  thousand 
men  of  them. 

46  So  that  all  which  fell  that 
day  of  Ben'ja-min  were  twenty 
and  five  thousand  men  that 
drew  the  sword;  all  these  were 
men  of  valour. 

47  But  six  hundred  men  turned 
and  fled  to  the  wilderness  unto 
the  rock  RIm'mon,  and  abode  in 
the  rock  Rim'mon  four  months. 

48  And  the  men  of  Is/ra-el 
turned  again  upon  the  children 
of  Ben'ja-min,  and  smote  them 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  as 
well  the  men  of  every  city,  as 
the  beast,  and  all  that  came  to 
hand :  also  they  set  on  fire  all 
the  cities  that  they  came  to.

his  daughter  unto  Ben'ja-min  to 
wife. 

2  And  the  people  came  to  the 
house  of  God,  and  abode  there 
till  even  before  God,  and  lifted 
up  their  voices,  and  wept  sore ; 

3  And  said,  0  Lord  God  of  Ig- 
ra-el,  why  is  this  come  to  pass 
in  Is/ra-el,  that  there  should  be 
to  day  one  tribe  lacking  in  Is/- 
ra-el? 

4  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  the  people  rose 
early,  and  built  there  an  altar, 
and  offered  burnt  offerings  and 
peace  offerings. 

5  And  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el 
said,  Who  is  there  among  all 
the  tribes  of  Is/ra-el  that  came 
not  up  with  the  congregation 
unto  the  Lord?  For  they  had 
marie  a  great  oath  concerning 
him  that  came  not  up  to  the 
Lord  to  Miz'peh,  saying,  He 
shall  surely  be  put  to  death. 

6  And  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el 
repented  them  for  Ben'ja-min 
their  brother,  and  said,  There 
is  one  tribe  cut  off  from  Ig'ra-el 
this  day. 

7  How  shall  we  do  for  wives 
for  them  that  remain,  seeing 
we  have  sworn  by  the  Lord 
that  we  will  not  give  them  of 
our  daughters  to  wives? 

8  HAnd  they  said,  What  one 
is  there  of  the  tribes  of  Is/ra-el 
that  came  not  up  to  Miz'peh  to 
the  Lord?  And,  behold,  there 
came  none  to  the  camp  from 
jrbesh-gfl'e-ad  to  theassembly. 

9  For  the  people  were  num- 
bered, and,  behold,  there  were 
none  of  the  inhabitants  of  Ja"- 
besh-gfl'e-ad  there. 

10  And  the  congregation  sent 
thither  twelve  thousand  men  of 
the  valiantest,  and  commanded 
them,  saying,  Go  and  smite  the 
inhabitants  of  J§'besh-gfl'e-&d 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword, 
with  the  women  and  the  chil- 
dren. 

11  And  this  is  the  thing  that 
ye  shall  do,  Ye  shall  utterly  de- 
stroy every  male,  and  every 
woman  that  hath  lain  by  man. 

12  And  they  found  among  the 
inhabitants  of  Jfi'besh-gil'e-Sd 
four  hundred  young  virgins, 
that  had  known  no  man  by  ly- 
ing with  any  male:  and  they 
brought  them  unto  the  camp  to 
Shiloh,  which  is  in  the  land  of 
Ca"n&an. 

13  And  the  whole  congrega- 
tion sent  some  to  speak  to  the 
children  of  Ben'ja-min  that 
were  in  the  rock  RIm'mon,  and 
to  call  peaceably  unto  them. 

14  And  BSn'ja-min  came  again 


at  that  time;  and  they  gave 
them  wives  which  they  had 
saved  alive  of  the  women  of 
Ja'besh-gil'e-fid :  and  yet  so 
they  sufficed  them  not. 

15  And  the  people  repented 
them  for  Ben  ja-mln,  because 
that  the  Lord  had  made  a 
breach  in  the  tribes  of  Is/ra-el. 

16  f  Then  the  elders  of  the 
congregation  said,  How  shall 
we  do  for  wives  for  them  that 
remain,  seeing  the  women  are 
destroyed  out  of  Ben'ja-min? 

17  And  they  said,  There  must 
be  an  inheritance  for  them  that 
be  escaped  of  Ben'ja-min,  that 
a  tribe  be  not  destroyed  out  of 
Is/ra-el. 

18  Howbeit  we  may  not  give 
them  wives  of  our  daughters: 
for  the  children  of  Ig'ra-el  have 
sworn,  saying,  Cursed  be  he 
that  giveth  a  wife  to  Ben'ja- 
min. 

19  Then  they  said,  Behold, 
there  is  a  feast  of  the  Lord  in 
Shildh  yearly  in  a  place  which 
is  on  the  north  side  of  Beth'-el, 
on  the  east  side  of  the  highway 
that  goeth  up  from  Beth'-el  to 
She'chem,  and  on  the  south  of 
Le-b5'nah. 

20  Therefore  they  command- 
ed the  children  of  Ben'ja-min, 
saying,  Go  and  lie  in  wait  in  the 
vineyards ; 

21  And  see,  and,  behold,  if  the 
daughters  of  Shiloh  come  out 
to  dance  in  dances,  then  come 
ye  out  of  the  vineyards,  and 
catch  you  every  man  his  wife 
of  the  daughters  of  Shildh,  and 
go  to  the  land  of  Ben'ja-min. 

22  And  it  shall  be,  when  their 
fathers  or  their  brethren  come 
unto  us  to  complain,  that  we 
will  say  unto  them,  Be  favour- 
able unto  them  for  our  sakes: 
because  we  reserved  not  to  each 
man  his  wife  in  the  war :  for  ye 
did  not  give  unto  them  at  this 
time,  that  ye  should  be  guilty. 

23  And  the  children  of  Ben'* 
ja-mln  did  so,  and  took  therri 
wives,  according  to  their  num- 
ber, of  them  that  danced,  whom 
they  caught :  and  they  went  and 
returned  unto  their  inheritance, 
and  repaired  the  cities,  and 
dwelt  in  them. 

24  And  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
departed  thence  at  that  time, 
every  man  to  his  tribe  and  to 
his  family,  and  they  went  out 
from  thence  every  man  to  his 
inheritance. 

25  In  those  days  there  was  no 
king  in  Is/ra-el :  every  man  did 
that  which  was  right  in  his 
own  eyes.

CHAPTER  1 

.  driven  6y  famine  into 
Moab,  die*  there.  6  Naomi  re- 
turning home,  Ruth  accompanies 
her. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
days  when  the  judges 
ruled,  that  there  was  a  famine 
in  the  land.  And  a  certain 
of  BSth'-le^hein-ju'dah 
went  to  sojourn  in  the  country 
of  MO'ab,  he,  and  his  wife,  and 
his  two  sons. 

2  And  the  name  of  the  man 
was  E-Hm'e-lech,  and  the  name 
of  his  wife  Nfi-5'ml,  and  the 
name  of  his  two  sons  Mahlon 
and  Chill-on,  fiph'rath-Ites  of 
B€th'-te-hem-ju'dah.  And  they 
came  into  the  country  of  M5'ab, 
and  continued  there. 

3  And  nVlim'e-lech  Na-5'ml's 
husband  died;  and  she  was  left, 
and  her  two  sons. 

4  And  they  took  them  wires 
of  the  women  of  Md'ab;  the 
name  of  the  one  was  Or'pah, 
and  the  name  of  the  other 
Ruth:  and  they  dwelled  there 
about  ten  years. 

5  And  Mahlon  and  CMll-on 
died  also  both  of  them ;  and  the 
woman  was  left  of  her  two  sons 
and  her  husband. 

6  IfThen  she  arose  with  her 
daughters  in  law,  that  she 
might  return  from  the  country 
of  Mft'ab:  for  she  had  heard  in 
the  country  of  Md'ab  how  that 
the  Lord  had  visited  his  people 
in  giving  them  bread.1 

7  Wherefore  she  went  forth 
out  of  the  place  where  she  was, 
and  her  two  daughters  in  law 
with  her ;  and  they  went  on  the 
way  to  return  unto  the  land  of 
Jfi'dah. 

8  And  N£-6'm!  said  unto  her 
two  daughters  in  law,  Go,  re- 
turn each  to  her  mother's 
house:  the  Lord  deal  kindly 
with  you,  as  ye  have  dealt 
with  the  dead,  and  with  me. 

9  The  Lord  grant  you  that 
ye  iriay  find  rest,  each  of  you 
in  the  house  of  her  husband. 
Then  she  kissed  them;  and 
they  lifted  up  their  voice,  and 
wept. 

10  And  they  said  unto  her, 
Surely  we  will  return  with  thee 
unto  thy  people. 

11  And  Na*o"ml  said,  Turn 
again,  my  daughters :  why  will 


ye  go  with  me?  are  there  yet 
any  more  sons  in  my  womb, 
that  they  may  be  your  hus- 
bands? 

12  Turn  again,  my  daughters, 
go  your  way;  for  I  am  too 
old  to  have  an  husband.  If  I 
should  say,  I  have  hope,  if  I 
should  have  an  husband  also 
to  night,  and  should  also  bear 
sons; 

13  Would  ye  tarry  for  them 
till  they  were  grown?  would 
ye  stay  for  them  from  having 
husbands?  nay,  my  daughters; 
for  it  grieveth  me  much  for 
your  sakes  that  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  is  gone  out  against  me. 

14  And  they  lifted  up  their 
voice,  and  wept  again:  and 
Or'pah  kissed  her  mother  in 
law ;  but  Ruth  clave  unto  her. 

15  And  she  said,  Behold,  thy 
sister  in  law  is  gone  back  unto 
her  people,  and  unto  her  gods: 
return  thou  after  thy  sister  in 
law. 

16  And  Ruth  said,  Intreat  me 
not  to  leave  thee,  or  to  return 
from  following  after  thee:  for 
whither  thou  goest,  I  will  go; 
and  where  thou  lodzest,  I  will 
lodge:  thy  people  shall  be  my 
people,  and  thy  God  my  God: 

17  Where  thou  diest,  will  I 
die,  and  there  will  I  be  buried : 
the  Lord  do  so  to  me,  and  more 
also,  if  ought  but  death  part 
thee  and  me. 

18  When  she  saw  that  she 
was  stedfastly  minded  to  go 
with  her,  then  she  left  speak- 
ing unto  her. 

19  IfSo  they  two  went  until 
they  came  to  Bah  -lS-h5m.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  when  they 
were  come  to  teth'-l€-h8m,  that 
all  the  city  was  moved  about 
them,  and  they  said,  Is  this 
Na-5'mi? 

20  And  she  said  unto  them, 
Call  me  not  Nfi-o'mi,  call  me 
Ma'ra:  for  the  Almighty  hath 
dealt  very  bitterly  with  me. 

21  I  went  out  full,  and  the 
Lord  hath  brought  me  home 
again  empty :  why  then  call  ye 
me  N5-S'mi,  seeing  the  Lord 
hath  testified  against  me,  and 
the  Almighty  hdth  afflicted  me? 

22  So  Na-o'mi  returned,  and 
Ru. th  the  M5'ab-It-ess,  her  daugh- 
ter in  law,  with  her,  which  re-

turned  out  of  the  country  of 
Mo'ab :  and  they  came  to  B£th'- 
lS-hem  in  the  beginning  of  bar- 
ley harvest 

CHAPTER  2 
Ruth  gleans  in  the  fields  of  Boax: 
4  he  take*  knowledge  of  her,  and 
ehewe  her  favour. 

AND  Na-5'mi  had  a  kinsman 
of  her  husband's,  a  mighty 
man  of  wealth,  of  the  family 
of  £-lim'e-lech ;  and  his  name 
tooaBd'az. 

2  And  Ruth  the  Md'ab-it-ess 
said  unto  fta-6'mi,  Let  me  now 
go  to  the  field,  and  glean  ears 
of  corn  after  him  in  whose 
sight  I  shall  find  grace.  And 
she  said  unto  her,  Go,  my 
daughter. 

3  And  she  went,  and  came, 
and  gleaned  in  the  field  after 
the  reapers:  and  her  hap  was 
to  light  on  a  part  of  the  field 
belonging  unto  Bd'&z,  who  was 
of  the  kindred  of  &llm'e-lech. 

4  IT  And,  behold,  Bo'Sz  came 
from  B£th'-l£-hem,  and  said  un- 
to the  reapers,  The  Lord  be  with 
you.<  And  they  answered  him, 
The  Lord  bless  thee. 

5  Then  said  Bd'&z  unto  his 
servant  that  was  set  over  the 
reapers,  Whose  damsel  is  this? 

6  And  the  servant  that  was 
set  over  the  reapers  answered 
and  said,  It  is  the  Md'ab-it-ish 
damsel  that  came  back  with 
NaVd'mi  out  of  the  country  of 
Md'ab: 

7  And  she  said,  I  pray  you,  let 
me  glean  and  gather  after  the 
reapers  among  the  sheaves :  so 
she  catne,  and  hath  continued 
even  from  the  morning  until 
now,  that  she  tarried  a  little  in 
the  house. 

8  Then  said  Bd'&z  unto  Ruth, 
Hearest  thou  not,  my  daughter  ? 
Go  not  to  glean  in  another  field, 
neither  go  from  hence,  but  abide 
here  fast  by  my  maidens: 

9  Let  thine  eyes  be  on  the  field 
that  they  do  reap,  and  go  thou 
after  them:  have  I  not  charged 
the  young  men  that  they  shall 
not  touch  thee  7  and  when  thou 
art  athirst,  go  unto  the  vessels, 
and  drink  of  that  which  the 
young  men  have  drawn. 

10  Then  she  fell  on  her  face, 
and  bowed  herself  to  the  ground, 
and  said  unto  him,  Why  have  I 
found  grace  in  thine  eyes,  that 
thou  ahouldest  take  knowledge 
of  me,  seeing  I  am  a  stranger? 

11  And  Bd'Sz  answered  and 
said  unto  her,  It  hath  fully 
been  shewed  me,  all  that  thou 
haat  done  unto  thy  mother  in 
law  since  the  death  of  thine 


husband:  and  how  thou  hast 
left  thv  father  and  thy  mother, 
and  the  land  of  thy  nativity, 
and  art  come  unto  a  people 
which  thou  knewest  not  here- 
tofore. 

12  The  Lord  recompense  thy 
work,  and  a  full  reward  be  giv- 
en thee  of  the  LORD  God  of 
|fi'ra-el,  under  whose  wings  thou 
art  come  to  trust 

13  Then  she  said,  Let  me  find 
favour  in  thy  sight,  mV  lord ;  for 
that  thou  hast  comforted  me, 
and  for  that  thou  hast  spoken 
friendly  unto  thine  handmaid, 
though  I  be  not  like  unto  one 
of  thine  handmaidens* 

14  And  Bd'&z  said  unto  her,  At 
mealtime  come  thou  hither,  and 
eat  of  the  bread,  and  dip  thy 
morsel  in  the  vinegar.  And  she 
sat  beside  the  reapers:  and  he 
reached  her  parched  corn,  and 
she  did  eat  and  was  sufficed, 
and  left 

15  And  when  she  was  risen  up 
to  glean,  Bo'&z  commanded  his 
young  men,  saying,  Let  her 
glean  even  among  the  sheaves, 
and  reproach  her  not: 

16  And  let  fall  also  some  of 
the  handfuls  of  purpose  for  her, 
and  leave  them,  that  she  may 
glean  them,  and  rebuke  her  not 

17  So  she  gleaned  in  the  field 
until  even,  and  beat  out  that 
she  had  gleaned:  and  it  was 
about  an  ephah  of  barley. 

18  IT  And  she  took  it  up,  and 
went  into  the  city:  and  her 
mother  in  law  saw  what  she 
had  gleaned:  and  she  brought 
forth,  and  gave  to  her  that  she 
had  reserved  after  she  was  suf- 
ficed. 

19  And  her  mother  in  law  said 
unto  her,  Where  hast  thou 
gleaned  to  day?  and  where 
wroughtest  thou?  blessed  be 
he  that  did  take  knowledge  of 
thee.  And  she  shewed  her 
mother  in  law  with  whom  she 
had  wrought  and  said,  The 
man's  name  with  whom  I 
wrought  to  day  is  Bd'&z. 

20  And  Na-d'mi  said  unto  her 
daughter  in  law,  Blessed  be  he 
of  the  Lord,  who  hath  not 
left  off  his  kindness  to  the  liv- 
ing and  to  the  dead.  And  Na- 
d'mi  .said  unto  her,  The  man  is 
near  of  kin  unto  us,  one  of  our 
next  kinsmen. 

21  And  Ruth  the  Mo'ab-it-ess 
said,  He  said  unto  me  also,  Thou 
shalt  keep  fast  by  my  young 
men,  until  they  have  ended  afi 
my  harvest 

22  And  NS-d'mi  said  unto  Ruth 
her  daughter  in  law,  It  is  good,

my  daughter,  that  thou  go  out 
with  his  maidens,  that  they 
meet  thee  not  in  any  other 
field. 

23  So  she  kept  fast  by  the 
maidens  of  B6"fiz  to  glean  unto 
the  end  of  barley  harvest  and 
of  wheat  harvest;  and  dwelt 
with  her  mother  in  law. 

CHAPTER  3 

By  Naomi'*  instruction,  6  Ruth  lit* 
at  Boa*'*  feet,  who  acknowledges 
the  duty  of  a  kinsman.  14  Hie 
present  to  Ruth. 

THEN  NS-3'ml  her  mother 
in  law  said  unto  her,  My 
daughter,  shall  I  not  seek  rest 
for  thee,  that  it  may  be  well 
with  thee? 

2  And  now  is  not  Bd'fiz  of  our 
kindred,  with  whose  maidens 
thou  wast  ?  Behold,  he  winnow- 
eth  barley  to  night  in  the  thresh- 
ingfloor. 

3  Wash  thyself  therefore,  and 
anoint  thee,  and  put  thy  rai- 
ment upon  thee,  and  get  thee 
down  to  the  floor:  but  make 
not  thyself  known  unto  the 
man,  until  he  shall  have  done 
eating  and  drinking. 

4  And  it  shall  be,  when  he  lieth 
down,  that  thou  shalt  mark  the 
place  where  he  shall  lie,  and 
thou  shalt  go  in,  and  uncover, 
his  feet,  and  lav  thee  down; 
and  he  will  tell  thee  what  thou 
shalt  do. 

5  And  she  said  unto  her, 
All  that  thou  sayest  unto  me  I 
will  do. 

6  ITAnd  she  went  down  unto 
the  floor,  and  did  according  to 
all  that  her  mother  in  law  bade 
her. 

7  And  when  Bo"az  had  eaten 
and  drunk,  and  his  heart  was 
merry,  he  went  to  lie  down  at 
the  end  of  the  heap  of  corn: 
and  she  came  softly,  and  un- 
covered his  feet,  and  laid  her 
down. 

8  ITAnd  it  came  to  pass  at  mid- 
night, that  the  man  was  afraid, 
and  turned  himself:  and,  be- 
hold, a  woman  lay  at  his  feet 

9  And  he  said,  Who  art  thou  ? 
And  she  answered,  I  am  Ruth 
thine  handmaid :  spread  there- 
fore thy  skirt  over  thine  hand 
maid ;  for  thou  art  a  near  kins- 


10  And  he  said,  Blessed  be 
thou  of  the  Lord,  my  daughter : 
for  'thou  hast  shewed  more 
kindness  in  the  latter  end  than 
at  the  beginning;  inasmuch  as 
thou  f  oHowedst  not  young  men, 
whether  poor  or  rich. 

11  And  now,  my  daughter, 
fear  not;  I  will  do  to  thee  all 


that  thou  requirest:  for  all  the 
city  of  my  people  doth  know 
that  thou  art  a  virtuous  worn- 
n. 

12  And  now  it  is  true  that  I 
am  thy  near  kinsman :  howbeit 
there  is  a  kinsman  nearer  than  L 

13  Tarry  this  night,  and  it  shall 
be  in  the  morning,  that  if  he 
will  perform  unto  thee  the  part 
of  a  kinsman,  well ;  let  him  do 
the  kinsman's  part:  but  if  lie 
will  not  do  the  part  of  a  kins- 
man to  thee,  then  will  I  do  the 
part  of  a  kinsman  to  thee,  as 
the  Lord  liveth :  lie  down  un- 
til the  morning. 

14  f  And  she  lay  at  his  feet 
until  the  morning :  and  she  rose 
up  before  one  could  know  an- 
other. And  he  said,  Let  it  not 
be  known  that  a  woman  came 
into  tiie  floor. 

15  Also  he  said,  Bring  the  vail 
that  thou  hast  upon  thee,  and 
hold  it  And  when  she  held  it, 
he  measured  six  measures  of 
barley,  and  laid  it  on  her :  and 
she  went  into  the  city. 

16  And  when  she  came  to  her 
mother  in  law,  she  said,  Who 
art  thou,  my  daughter?  And 
she  told  her  all  that  the  man 
had  done  to  her. 

17  And  she  said,  These  six 
measures  of  barley  gave  he 
me ;  for  he  said  to  me,  Go  not 
empty  unto  thy  mother  in  law. 

18  Then  said  she,  Sit  still,  my 
daughter,  until  thou  know  how 
the  matter  will  fall:  for  the 
man  will  not  be  in  rest,  until 
he  have  finished  the  thing  this 
day.

thou  wilt  not  redeem  it,  then 
tell  me,  that  I  may  know :  for 
there  is  none  to  redeem  it  be- 
side thee ;  and  I  am  after  thee. 
And  he  said,  I  will  redeem  it. 

5  Then  said  BS'fiz,  What  day 
thou  buyest  the  field  of  the 
hand  of  Na-5'ml,  thou  must  buy 
it  also  of  Ruth  the  M5'ab-it-ess, 
the  wife  of  the  dead,  to  raise  up 
the  name  of  the  dead  upon  his 
inheritance. 

6  And  the  kinsman  said,  I  can- 
not redeem  it  for  myself,  lest  I 
mar  mine  own  inheritance :  re- 
deem thou  my  right  to  thyself ; 
for  I  cannot  redeem  it. 

7  Now  this  was  the  manner 
in  former  time  in  Ig'ra-el  con- 
cerning redeeming  and  concern- 
ing changing,  for  to  confirm  all 
things;  a  man  plucked  off  his 
shoe,  and  gave  it  to  his  neigh- 
bour :  and  this  was  a  testimony 
in  la'ra-el. 

8  Therefore  the  kinsman  said 
unto  Bd'&c,  Buy  it  for  thee.  So 
he  drew  off  his  shoe. 

9  HAnd  B5'5z  said  unto  the 
elders,  and  unto  all  the  people, 
Ye  are  witnesses  this  day,  that 
I  have  bought  all  that  was 
fi~lim'e4ech's,  and  all  that  was 
Chill-on's  and  Mahlon's,  of  the 
hand  of  N&«o'mi. 

10  Moreover  Ruth  the  Md'ab- 
It-ess,  the  wife  of  Mahlon,  have 
I  purchased  to  be  my  wife,  to 
raise  up  the  name  of  the  dead 
upon  his  inheritance,  that  the 
name  of  the  dead  be  not  cut  off 
from  among  his  brethren,  and 
from  the  gate  of  his  place:  ye 
are  witnesses  this  day. 

11  And  all  the  people  that 
were  in  the  gate,  and  the  eld- 
ers, said,  We  are  witnesses. 
The  Lord  make  the  woman 
that  is  come  into  thine  house 


like  R&'chel  and  like  Le'ah, 
which  two  did  build  the  house 
of  la'ra-el :  and  do  thou  worthi- 
ly in  fiph'ra-tah,  and  be  famous 
inBtth'-ie-hem: 

12  And  let  thy  house  be  like 
the  house  of  Phd'rez,  whom  Ta' 
mar  bare  unto  Ju'dah,  of  the 
seed  which  the  Lord  shall  give 
thee  of  this  young  woman. 

13  IfSo  Bo'Sz  took  Ruth,  and 
she  was  his  wife :  and  when  he 
went  in  unto  her,  the  Lord  gave 
her  conception,  and  she  bare  a 
son. 

14  And  the  women  said  unto 
Na-8'xni,  Blessed  be  the  Lord, 
which  hath  not  left  thee  this 
day  without  a  kinsman,  that 
his  name  may  be  famous  in 
la'ra-el. 

15  And  he  shall  be  unto  thee 
a  restorer  of  thy  life,  and  a 
nourisher  of  thine  old  ape:  for 
thy  daughter  in  law,  which  lov- 
eth  thee,  which  is  better  to 
thee  than  seven  sons,  hath  born 
him. 

16  And  Na-d'mi  took  the  child, 
and  laid  it  in  her  bosom,  and 
became  nurse  unto  it 

17  And  the  women  her  neigh- 
bours gave  it  a  name,  saying, 
There  is  a  son  born  to  Nfi-d'mi; 
and  they  called  his  name  Coed 
he  is  the  father  of  Jes'se,  the 
father  of  David.

erations of  PhS'rez:  Pha'rez  be-

20  Samuel  born. 

NOW  there  was  a  certain 
man  of  Ra-math-§'im-z6'- 
phim,  of  mount  £'pnra-fm,  and 
his  name  was  &rk&-nah,  the 
son  of  Jer'o-h&m,  the  son  of 
£4i'bu,  the  son  of  To'hu,  the 
son  of  Zfiph,  an  Eph'rath-ite: 


2  And  he  had  two  wives;  the 
name  of  the  one  was  H&n'nah, 
and  the  name  of  the  other  PeV 
nin'nah:  and  PS-nln'nah  had 
children,  but  H&n'nah  had  no 
children. 

3  And  this  man  went  up  out 
of  his  city  vearly  to  worship 
and  to  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord 
of  hosts  in  Shildh.  And  the

Phln'e-has,  the  priests  of  the 
Lord,  were  there. 

4  And  when  the  time  was 
that  £rk2-nah  offered,  he  gave 
to  Pe-nin'nah  his  wife,  and  to 
all  her  sons  and  her  daughters, 
portions: 

5  But  unto  Han'nah  he  gave 
a  worthy  portion ;  for  he  loved 
Han'nah:  but  the  Lord  had 
shut  up  her  womb. 

6  And  her  adversary  also  pro- 
voked her  sore,  for  to  make  her 
fret,  because  the  Lord  had  shut 
up  her  womb. 

7  And  as  he  did  so  year  by 
year,  when  she  went  up  to  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  so  she  pro- 
voked her ;  therefore  she  wept, 
and  did  not  eat 

8  Then  said  EHcS-nan  her 
husband  to  her,  Han'nah,  why 
weepest  thou?  and  why  eatest 
thou  not?  and  why  is  thy  heart 
grieved?  am  not  I  better  to 
thee  than  ten  sons? 

9  HSo  Han'nah  rose  up  after 
they  had  eaten  in  Shildh,  and 
after  they  had  drunk.  Now 
£11  the  priest  sat  upon  a  seat 
by  a  post  of  the  temple  of  the 
Lord. 

10  And  she  was  in  bitterness 
of  soul,  and  prayed  unto  the 
Lord,  and  wept  sore. 

11  And  she  vowed  a  vow,  and 
said,  O  Lord  of  hosts,  if  thou 
wilt  indeed  look  on  the  afflic- 
tion of  thine  handmaid,  and  re- 
member me,  and  not  forget 
thine  handmaid,  but  wilt  give 
unto  thine  handmaid  a  man 
child,  then  I  will  give  him 
unto  the  Lord  all  the  days  of 
his  life,  and  there  shall  no  ra- 
zor come  upon  his  head. 

12  HAnd  it  came  to  pass,  as 
she  continued  praying  before 
the  Lord,  that  Ell  marked  her 
mouth. 

13  Now  Han'nah,  she  spake  in 
her  heart ;  only  her  lips  moved, 
but  her  voice  was  not  heard: 
therefore  Eli  thought  she  had 
been  drunken. 

14  And  Eli  said  unto  her, 
How  long  wilt  thou  be  drunk- 
en? put  away  thy  wine  from 
thee. 

15  And  Han'nah  answered  and 
said,  No,  my  lord,  I  am  a  woman 
of  a  sorrowful  spirit:  I  have 
drunk  neither  wine  nor  strong 
drink,  but  have  poured  out  my 
soul  before  the  Lord. 

16  Count  not  thine  handmaid 
for  a  daughter  of  Beli-al:  for 
out  of  the  abundance  of  my 
complaint  and  grief  have  I 
spoken  hitherto. 

17  Then    Eli   answered  and 


said,  Go  in  peace:  and  the  God 
of  Ig'ra-el  grant  thee  thy  peti- 
tion that  thou  hast  asked  of 
him. 

18  And  she  said,  Let  thine 
handmaid  find  grace  in  thy 
sight  So  the  woman  went  her 
way,  and  did  eat  and  her  coun- 
tenance was  no  more  sad. 

19  f  And  they  rose  up  in  the 
morning  early,  and  worshipped 
before  the  Lord,  and  returned, 
and  came  to  their  house  to  Rfi'- 
mah :  and  EUcS-nah  knew  Han'- 
nah his  wife;  and  the  Lord 
remembered  her. 

20  Wherefore  it  came  to  pass, 
when  the  time  was  come  about 
after  Han'nah  had  conceived, 
that  she  bare  a  son,  and  called 
his  name  S&m'u-el,  saying,  Be- 
cause I  have  asked  him  of  the 
Lord. 

21  And  the  man  £Ht&-nah, 
and  all  his  house,  went  up  to 
offer  unto  the  Lord  the  yearly 
sacrifice,  and  his  vow. 

22  But  Han'nah  went  not  up; 
for  she  said  unto  her  husband, 
I  will  not  go  up  until  the  child 
be  weaned,  and  then  I  will  bring 
him,  that  he  may  appear  before 
the  Lord,  and  there  abide  for 
ever. 

23  And  Erka-nah  her  husband 
said  unto  her,  Do  what  seemeth 
thee  good;  tarry  until  thou  have 
weaned  him ;  only  the  Lord  es- 
tablish his  word.  So  the  woman 
abode,  and  gave  her  son  suck 
until  she  weaned  him. 

24  IFAnd  when  she  had  weaned 
him,  she  took  him  up  with  her, 
with  three  bullocks,  and  one 
ephah  of  flour,  and  a  bottle  of 
wine,  and  brought  him  unto  the 
house  of  the  Lord  in  Shildh : 
and  the  child  was  young. 

25  And  they  slew  a  bullock, 
and  brought  the  child  to  Eli. 

26  And  she  said,  Oh  my  lord, 
as  thy  soul  liveth,  my  lord,  I 
am  the  woman  that  stood  by 
thee  here,  praying  unto  the 
Lord. 

27  For  this  child  I  prayed; 
and  the  Lord  hath  given  me 
my  petition  which  I  asked  of 
him: 

28  Therefore  also  I  have  lent 
him  to  the  Lord  ;  as  long  as  he 
liveth  he  shall  be  lent  to  the 
Lord.  And  he  worshipped  the 
Lord  there.

out  of  your  mouth :  for  the  Lord 
is  a  God  of  knowledge,  and  by 
him  actions  are  weighed. 

4  The  bows  of  the  mighty  men 
are  broken,  and  they  that  stum- 
bled are  girded  with  strength. 

5  They  that  were  full  have 
hired  out  themselves  for  bread ; 
and  they  that  were  hungry 
ceased:  so  that  the  barren  hath 
born  seven ;  and  she  that  hath 
many  children  is  waxed  feeble. 

6  The  Lord  killeth,  and  mak- 
eth  alive :  he  bringeth  down  to 
the  grave,  and  bringeth  up. 

7  The  Lord  maketh  poor,  and 
maketh  rich:  he  bringeth  low, 
and  lifteth  up. 

8  He  raiseth  up  the  poor  out 
of  the  dust,  ana  lifteth  up  the 
beggar  from  the  dunghill,  to  set 
them  among  princes,  and  to 
make  them  inherit  the  throne 
of  glory :  for  the  pillars  of  the 
earth  are  the  Lord's,  and  he 
hath  set  the  world  upon  them. 

9  He  will  keep  the  feet  of  his 
saints,  and  the  wicked  shall 
be  silent  in  darkness;  for  by 
strength  shall  no  man  prevail. 

10  The  adversaries  of  the 
Lord  shall  be  broken  to  pieces ; 
out  of  heaven  shall  he  thun- 
der upon  them :  the  Lord  shall 
judge  the  ends  of  the  earth; 
and  he  shall  give  strength  unto 
his  kino;,  and  exalt  the  horn  of 
his  anointed. 

11  IT  And  firka-nah  went  to 
Ra'mah  to  his  house.  And  the 
child  did  minister  unto  the 
Lord  before  Ell  the  priest 

12  Now  the  sons  of  Eli  were 
sons  of  Be"ltal ;  they  knew  not 
the  Lord. 

13  And  the  priest* s  custom 
with  the  people  was,  thatt 
when  any  man  offered  sacri- 
fice, the  priest* s  servant  came, 
while  the  flesh  was  in  seething, 
with  a  fleshhook  of  three  teeth 
in  his  hand ; 

14  And  he  struck  it  into  the 
pan,  orltettle,  or  caldron,  or  pot ; 
all  that  the  fleshhook  brought 
up  the  priest  took  fof  himself. 
So  they  did  in  ShrtSh  unto 
all  the  Ig'ra-el-ites  that  came 
thither. 

15  Also  before  they  burnt  the 
fat,  the  priest's  servant  came, 


and  said  to  the  man  that  sacri- 
ficed, Give  flesh  to  roast  for  the 
priest ;  for  he  will  not  have  sod- 
den flesh  of  thee,  but  raw. 

16  And  if  any  man  said  unto 
him,  Let  them  not  fail  to  burn 
the  fat  presently,  and  then  take 
as  much  as  thy  soul  desireth ; 
then  he  would  answer  him, 
Nay;  but  thou  shalt  give  it 
me  now :  and  if  not,  I  will  take 
it  by  force. 

17  Wherefore  the  sin  of  the 
young  men  was  very  great  be- 
fore the  Lord:  for  men  ab- 
horred the  offering  of  the  Lord. 

18  f  But  Sam'u-el  ministered 
before  the  Lord,  being  a  child, 
girded  with  a  linen  ephod. 

19  Moreover  his  mother  made 
him  a  little  coat,  and  brought 
it  to  him  from  year  to  year, 
when  she  came  up  with  her 
husband  to  offer  the  yearly  sac- 
rifice. 

20  And  Cli  blessed  Erka-nah 
and  his  wife,  and  said,  The  Lord 
give  thee  seed  of  this  woman 
for  the  loan  which  is  lent  to 
the  Lord.  And  they  went  un- 
to their  own  home. 

21  And  the  Lord  visited  Han'- 
nah,  so  that  she  conceived,  and 
bare  three  sons  and  two  daugh- 
ters. And  the  child  Sam'u-el 
grew  before  the  Lord. 

22  IT  Now  Eli  was  very  old, 
and  heard  all  that  his  sons  did 
unto  all  Is/ra-el;  and  how  they 
lay  with  the  women  that  as- 
sembled at  the  door  of  the  tab- 
ernacle of  the  congregation. 

23  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Why  do  ye  such  things?  for  I 
hear  of  your  evil  dealings  by 
all  this  people. 

24  Nay,  my  sons;  for  it  is 
no  good  report  that  I  hear:  ye 
make  the  Lord's  people  to 
transgress. 

25  If  one  man  sin  against  an- 
other,  the  judge  shall  judge 
him:  but  if  a  man  sin  against 
the  Lord,  who  shall  intreat  for 
him  ?  Notwithstanding  they 
hearkened  not  unto  the  voice 
of  their  father,  because  the 
Lord  would  slay  them. 

26  And  the  child  Sam'u-el 
grew  on,  and  was  in  favour 
both  with  the  Lord,  and  also 
with  men. 

27  f  And  there  came  a  man  of 
God  unto  Eli,  and  said  unto 
him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Did 
I  plainly  appear  unto  the  house 
of  thy  father,  when  they  were 
in  E'gjrpt  in  Pha'radh's  house? 

28  And  did  I  choose  him  out 
of  all  the  tribes  of  I§'ra-el  to  he 
my  priest,  to  offer  upon  mine

altar,  to  born  incense,  to  wear 
an  ephod  before  me  ?  and  did  I 
give  unto  the  house  of  thy  fa- 
ther all  the  offerings  made  by 
fire  of  the  children  of  Ys'ra-el  ? 

29  Wherefore  kick  ye  at  my 
sacrifice  and  at  mine  offering, 
which  I  have  commanded  tit 
my  habitation;  and  honourest 
thy  sons  above  me,  to  make 
yourselves  fat  with  the  chief- 
est  of  all  the  offerings  of  Is'- 
ra-el  my  people? 

30  Wherefore  the  Lord  God 
of  Ig'ra-el  saith,  I  said  indeed 
that  thy  house,  and  the  house 
of  thy  father,  should  walk  be- 
fore me  for  ever :  but  now  the 
Lord  saith,  Be  it  far  from  me ; 
for  them  that  honour  me  I  will 
honour,  and  they  that  despise 
me  shall  be  lightly  esteemed. 

31  Behold,  the  days  come,  that 
I  will  cut  off  thine  arm,  and  the 
arm  of  thy  father's  house,  that 
there  shall  not  be  an  old  man 
in  thine  house. 

32  And  thou  shalt  see  an  ene- 
my in  my  habitation,  in  all  the 
wealth  which  God  shall  give 
ls/ra-el :  and  there  shall  not  be 
an  old  man  in  thine  house  for 
ever. 

33  And  the  man  of  thine, 
whom  I  shall  not  cut  off  from 
mine  altar,  shall  be  to  consume 
thine  eyes,  and  to  grieve  thine 
heart:  and  all  the  increase  of 
thine  house  shall  die  in  the 
flower  of  their  age. 

34  And  this  shall  be  a  sign 
unto  thee,  that  shall  come  up- 
on thv  two  sons,  on  Hftph'ni 
and  Phln'e-has;  in  one  day 
they  shall  die  both  of  them. 

35  And  I  will  raise  me  up  a 
faithful  priest,  that  shall  do  ac- 
cording to  that  which  is  in 
mine  heart  and  in  my  mind: 
and  I  will  build  him  a  sure 
house;  and  he  shall  walk  be- 
fore mine  anointed  for  ever. 

36  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  every  one  that  is  left  in 
thine  house  shall  come  and 
crouch  to  him  for  a  piece  of 
silver  and  a  morsel  of  bread, 
and  shall  say,  Put  me,  I  pray 
thee,  into  one  of  the  priests' 
offices,  that  I  may  eat  a  piece 
of  bread. 

CHAPTER  3 

The  Lord  appear*  to  Samuel  in  a 
vision,  11  and  reveals  to  him  the 
destruction  of  Eli's  house. 

AND  the  child  Sftm'u-el  min- 
istered unto  the  Lord  be- 
fore Eli.    And  the  word  pf  the 
Lord   was   precious   in   those 
days ;  there  was  no  open  vision 
2  And  it  came  to  pass  at  that 


time,  when  fill  was  laid  down 
in  his  place,  and  his  eyes  began 
to  wax  dim,  that  he  could  not 
see; 

3  And  ere  the  lamp  of  God 
went  out  in  the  temple  of  the 
Lord,  where  the  ark  of  God 
wasy  and  Sftm'u-el  was  laid 
down  to  sleep; 

4  That  the  Lord  called  Sftm'- 
u-el: and  he  answered,  Here 
am  I. 

5  And  he  ran  unto  EH,  and 
said,  Here  am  I ;  for  thou  call 
edst  me.  And  he  said,  I  called 
not;  lie  down  again.  And  he 
went  and  lay  down. 

6  And  the  Lord  called  yet 
again,  S&m'u-el.  And  Sftm'u-el 
arose  and  went  to  Eli,  and 
said,  Here  am  I ;  for  thou  didst 
call  me.  And  he  answered,  I 
called  not,  my  son;  lie  down 
again. 

7  Now  Sftm'u-el  did  not  yet 
know  the  Lord,  neither  was 
the  word  of  the  Lord  yet  re- 
vealed unto  him. 

8  And  the  Lord  called  S&m'- 
u-el again  the  third  time.  And 
he  arose  and  went  to  Ell,  and 
said,  Here  am  I ;  for  thou  didst 
call  me.  And  Eli  perceived 
that  the  Lord  had  called  the 
child. 

9  Therefore  fill  said  unto 
Sftm'u-el,  Go,  lie  down:  and  it 
shall  be,  if  he  call  thee,  that 
thou  shalt  say,  Speak,  Lord; 
for  thy  servant  heareth.  So 
Sftm'u-el  went  and  lay  down  in 
his  place. 

10  And  the  Lord  came,  and 
stood,  and  called  as  at  other 
times,  Sftm'u-el,  Sftm'u-el.  Then 
Sftm'u-el  answered,  Speak;  for 
thy  servant  heareth. 

11  IT  And  the  Lord  said  to 
Sftm'u-el,  Behold,  I  will  do  a 
thing  in  Is/ra-el,  at  which  both 
the  ears  of  every  one  that  hear- 
eth it  shall  tingle. 

12  In  that  day  I  will  perform 
against  fill  all  things  which 
I  have  spoken  concerning  his 
house :  when  I  begin,  I  will  also 
make  an  end. 

13  For  I  have  told  him  that  I 
will  judge  his  house  for  ever  for 
the  iniquity  which  he  know- 
eth;  because  his  sons  made 
themselves  vile,  and  he  re- 
strained them  not. 

14  And  therefore  I  have  sworn 
unto  the  house  of  Eli,  that  the 
iniquity  of  Eli's  house  shall  not 
be  purged  with  sacrifice  nor  of- 
fering for  ever. 

15  t  And  Sftm'u-el  lay  until 
the  morning,  and  opened  the 
doors  of  the  house  of  the  Lord.

And  Sftm'u-el  feared  to  shew 
fill  the  vision. 

16  Then  Eli  called  Sam'u-el, 
and  said,  S&m'u-el,  my  son. 
And  he  answered,  Here  am  I. 

17  And  he  said,  What  is  the 
thing  that  the  LORD  hath  said 
unto  thee?  I  pray  thee  hide  it 
not  from  me :  God  do  so  to  thee, 
and  more  also,  if  thou  hide  any 
thine  from  me  of  all  the  things 
that  he  said  unto  thee. 

18  And  Sam'u-el  told  him  ev- 
ery whit,  and  hid  nothing  from 
him.  And  he  said,  It  w  the 
Lord:  let  him  do  what  seem- 
eth  him  good. 

19  And  S&m'u-el  grew,  and 
the  Lord  was  with  him,  and 
did  let  none  of  his  words  fall 
to  the  ground. 

20  And  all  Ift'ra-el  from  Dan 
even  to  B€'er-shCba  knew  that 
Sfim'u-el  was  established  to  be 
a  prophet  of  the  Lord. 

21  And  the  Lord  appeared 
again  in  Shil5h :  for  the  Lord 
revealed  himself  to  Sfim'u-el  in 
SnilGh  by  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  4 
Israel  overcome  by  the  Philistine*.  11 
The  ark  taken,  and  Hophni  and 
Fhinehas  slain.  12  Eli,  hearing  the 
tidings,  falls  backward,  and  i 
neck  breaks,  etc 

AND  the  word  of  Sfim'u-el 
came  to  all  Is'ra-el.  Now 
Ig'ra-el  went  out  against  the  Phi- 
lis'-tines.  to  battle,  and  pitched 
beside  fib'en-e'zer:  andthePhi- 
lls'tines.  pitched  in  A'phek. 

2  And  the  Phl-lfa'tlnes.  put 
themselves  in  array  against 
Ig'ra-el:  and  when  they  joined 
battle,  Is'ra-el  was  smitten  be- 
fore the  Phl-Hs'tlne*:  and  they 
slew  of  the  army  in  the  field 
about  four  thousand  men. 

3  HAnd  when  the  people  were 
come  into  the  camp,  the  elders 
of  Is'ra-el  said.  Wherefore  hath 
the  Lord  smitten  us  to  day  be- 
fore the  Phi-Hs'tineg?  Let  us 
fetch  the  ark  of  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord  out  of  ShilOh  unto 
us,  that,  when  it  cometh  among 
us,  it  may  save  us  out  of  the 
hand  of  our  enemies. 

4  So  the  people  sent  to  Shi'- 
loh,  that  they  might  bring  from 
thence  the  ark  of  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  which 
dwelleth  between  the  cheru- 
bims :  and  the  two  sons  of  E'li, 
Hdph'ni  and  Phin'e-has,  were 
there  with  the  ark  of  the  cov- 
enant of  God. 

5  And  when  the  ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord  came  in- 
to the  camp,  all  Is'ra-el  shouted 
with  a  great  shout,  so  that  the 
earth  rang  again. 


6  And  when  the  PhMIs'tlnea 
heard  the  noise  of  the  shout, 
they  said,  What  meaneth  the 
noise  of  this  great  shout  in  the 
camp  of  the  HCbrews?  And 
they  understood  that  the  ark 
of  the  Lord  was  come  into  the 
camp. 

7  And  the  Phi-lis'tlnes.  were 
afraid,  for  they  said,  God  is 
come  into  the  camp.  And  they 
said,  Woe  unto  us!  for  there 
hath  not  been  such  a  thing 
heretofore. 

8  Woe  unto  us !  who  shall  de- 
liver us  out  of  the  hand  of 
these  mighty  Gods?  these  are 
the  Gods  that  smote  the  E-fcJp'- 
tiana  with  all  the  plagues  in  the 
wilderness. 

9  Be  strong,  and  quit  your- 
selves like  men,  0  ye  PhMIs'- 
tlnea, that  ye  be  not  servants 
unto  the  Hebrews,  as  they  have 
been  to  you:  quit  yourselves 
like  men,  and  fignt 

10  IT  And  the  Phi-Hs'tlnes. 
fought,  and  Is'ra-el  was  smit- 
ten, and  they  fled  every  man 
into  his  tent :  and  there  was  a 
very  great  slaughter ;  for  there 
fell  of  Is/ra-el  thirty  thousand 
footmen. 

11  And  the  ark  of  God  was 
taken ;  and  the  two  sons  of  £11, 
Hdph'ni  and  Phin'e-has,  were 
slain. 

12  HAnd  there  ran  a  man  of 
Ben'ja-min  out  of  the  army,  and 
came  to  Shildh  the  same  day 
with  his  clothes  rent,  and  with 
earth  upon  his  head. 

13  And  when  he  came,  lo,  Eli 
sat  upon  a  seat  by  the  wayside 
watching:  for  his  heart  trem- 
bled for  the  ark  of  God.  And 
when  the  man  came  into  the 
city,  and  told  it,  all  the  city 
cried  out 

14  And  when  fill  heard  the 
noise  of  the  crying,  he  said, 
What  meaneth  the  noise  of 
this  tumult?  And  the  man 
came  in  hastily,  and  told  Eli. 

15  Now  Eli  was  ninety  and 
eight  years  old ;  and  his  eyes 
were  dun,  that  he  could  not  see. 

16  And  the  man  said  unto  Eli, 
I  dm  he  that  came  out  of  the 
army,  and  I  fled  to  day  out  of 
the  army.  And  he  said.  What 
is  there  done,  my  son  ? 

17  And  the  messenger  an- 
swered and  said,  Ig'ra-el  is  fled 
before  the  Phi-lis'tinea,  and 
there  hath  been  also  a  great 
slaughter  among  the  people, 
and  thy  two  sons  also,  Hdph'ni 
and  Phin'e-has,  are  dead,  and 
the  ark  of  God  is  taken.

he  made  mention  of  the  ark  of 
God,  that  he  fell  from  off  the 
seat  backward  by  the  side  of 
the  gate,  and  his  neck  brake, 
and  he  died :  for  he  was  an  old 
man,  and  heavy.  And  he  had 
judged  Is/ra-el  forty  years. 

19  If  And  his  daughter  in  law, 
Phln'e-has'  wife,  was  with  child, 
near  to  be  delivered :  and  when 
she  heard  the  tidings  that  the 
ark  of  God  was  taken,  and  that 
her  father  in  law  and  her  hus- 
band were  dead,  she  bowed  her- 
self and  travailed ;  for  her  pains 
came  upon  her. 

20  And  about  the  time  of  her 
death  the  women  that  stood  by 
her  said  unto  her,  Fear  not;  for 
thou  hast  born  a  son.  But  she 
answered  not,  neither  did  she 
regard  it. 

21  And  she  named  the  child 
I'-cha-bSd,  saying,  The  glory  is 
departed  from  Is/ra-el :  because 
the  ark  of  God  was  taken,  and 
because  of  her  father  in  law  and 
her  husband. 

22  And  she  said,  The  glory  is 
departed  from  Is/ra-el :  for  the 
ark  of  God  is  taken. 

CHAPTER  5 

The  Philistines  bring  the  ark  into  the 
house  of  Dagon.  3  Dagon  falls 
down.  6, 9. 12  The  Philistines  ore 
smitten  with  emerods. 

AND  the  PhUIs'tinea  took  the 
ark  of  God,  and  brought  it 
from  £b'en-€'ier  unto  Ash'dfid. 

2  When  the  Phl-lla'tmea  took 
the  ark  of  God,  they  brought  it 
into  the  house  of  Di'gon,  and 
set  it  by  Da'gon. 

3  t  And  when  they  of  Ash'- 
dad  arose  early  on  the  morrow, 
behold,  Di'gon  was  fallen  upon 
his  face  to  the  earth  before  the 
ark  of  the  Lord.  And  they  took 
D&'gon,  and  set  him  in  his  place 
again. 

4  And  when  they  arose  early 
on  the  morrow  morning,  behold, 
Da'gon  was  fallen  upon  his  face 
to  the  ground  before  the  ark  of 
the  Lord  ;  and  the  head  of  Dfi'- 

Sn  and  both  the  palms  of  his 
nds  toere  cut  off  upon  the 
threshold;  only  the  stump  of 
Da'gon  was  left  to  him. 

5  Therefore  neither  tne priests 
of  Da'gon,  nor  any  that  come  in- 
to D&'gon's  house,  tread  on  the 
threshold  of  Da'gon  in  Ash'dCd 
unto  this  day. 

6  HBut  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
was  heavy  upon  them  of  Ash'- 
dSd,  and  he  destroyed  them,  and 
smote  them  with  emerods,  even 
Ash'dod  and  the  coasts  thereof. 

7  And  when  the  men  of  Ash'- 
ddd  saw  that  it  was  so,  4hey 


said,  The  ark  of  the  God  of  Is/- 
ra-el  shall  not  abide  with  us: 
for  his  hand  is  sore  upon  us, 
and  upon  DS'gon  our  god. 

8  They   sent  therefore    and 

fathered  all  the  lords  of  the 
hi-Ua'tlnea  unto  them,  and 
said,  What  shall  we  do  with 
the  ark  of  the  God  of  Is/ra-el? 
And  they  answered,  Let  the  ark 
of  the  God  of  Is/ra-el  be  carried 
about  unto  Gath.  And  they  car- 
ried the  ark  of  the  God  of  is/ra- 
el  about  thither. 

9  And  it  was  so,  that,  after 
they  had  carried  it  about,  the 
hand  of  the  Lord  was  against 
the  city  with  a  very  great  de- 
struction: and  he  smote  the 
men  of  the  city,  both  small  and 
great,  and  they  had  emerods  in 
their  secret  parts. 

10  HTheretore  they  sent  the 
ark  of  God  to  Ek'rSn.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  as  the  ark  of  God 
came  to  Ekrdn,  that  the  fik'- 
ron-ites  cried  out,  saying,  They 
have  brought  about  the  ark  of 
the  God  of  Is/ra-el  to  us,  to  slay 
us  and  our  people. 

11  So  they  sent  and  gathered 
together  all  the  lords  of  the 
Phi-lis'tinea,  and  said,  Send 
away  the  ark  of  the  God  of 
Is/ra-el,  and  let  it  go  again  to 
his  own  place,  that  it  slay  us  not, 
and  our  people :  for  there  was  a 
deadly  destruction  throughout 
all  the  city;  the  hand  of  God 
was  very  heavy  there. 

12  And:  the  men  that  died  not 
were  smitten  with  the  emerods : 
and  the  cry  of  the  city  went  up 
to  heaven. 

CHAPTER  6 
The  PhUistines  counsel  how  to  send 
back  the  ark:  10  they  bring  it  on  a 
new  cart  with  an  offering  to  Beth- 
shemesh.  19  The  Beth»shemites 
smitten  for  looking  into  the  ark. 

AND  the  ark  of  the  Lord  was 
in  the  country  of  the  Phi- 
lis'tineg  seven  months. 

2  And  the  Phi-Us'tines.  called 
for  the  priests  and  the  diviners, 
saying,  What  shall  we  do  to  the 
ark  of  the  Lord?  tell  us  where- 
with we  shall  send  it  to  his 
place. 

3  And  they  said,  If  ye  send 
awav  the  ark  of  the  God  of  Is/- 
ra-el,  send  it  not  empty;  but 
in  any  wise  return  him  a  tres- 
pass offering:  then  ye  shall  be 
healed,  and  it  shall  be  known 
to  you  why  his  hand  is  not  re- 
moved from  you. 

4  Then  said  they,  What  shall 
be  the  trespass  offering  which 
we  shall  return  to  him  7  They 
answered,  Five  golden  emerods, 
and  five  golden  mice,  according

to  the  number  of  the  lords  of 
the  Phi-lis'tineg :  for  one  plague 
was  on  you  all,  and  on  your 
lords. 

5  Wherefore  ye  shall  make 
images  of  your  emerods,  and 
images  of  your  mice  that  mar 
the  land;  and  ye  shall  give 
glory  unto  the  God  of  Is/ra-el : 
peradventure  he  will  lighten 
nis  hand  from  off  you,  and  from 
off  your  gods,  and  from  off  your 
land. 

6  Wherefore  then  do  ye  hard- 
en your  hearts,  as  the  £-&yp'- 
tians  and  Pha'raGh  hardened 
their  hearts?  when  he  had 
wrought  wonderfully  among 
them,  did  they  not  let  the  peo- 
ple go,  and  they  departed? 

7  Now  therefore  make  a  new 
cart,  and  take  two  milch  kine, 
on  which  there  hath  come  no 
yoke,  and  tie  the  kine  to  the 
cart,  and  bring  their  calves 
home  from  them: 

8  And  take  the  ark  of  the 
Lord,  and  lay  it  upon  the  cart ; 
and  put  the  jewels  of  gold, 
which  ye  return  him  for  a  tres- 
pass offering,  in  a  coffer  by  the 
side  thereof;  and  send  it  away, 
that  it  may  go. 

9  And  see,  if  it  goeth  up  by 
the  way  of  his  own  coast  to 
B&h-she'mesh,  then  he  hath 
done  us  this  great  evil :  but  if 
not,  then  we  shall  know  that  it 
is  not  his  hand  that  smote  us ; 
it  was  a  chance  that  happened 
to  us. 

10  IT  And  the  men  did  so;  and 
took  two  milch  kine,  and  tied 
them  to  the  cart,  and  shut  up 
their  calves  at  home; 

11  And  they  laid  the  ark  of  the 
Lord  upon  the  cart,  and  the  cof- 
fer with  the  mice  of  gold  and 
the  images  of  their  emerods. 

12  And  the  kine  took  the 
straight  way  to  the  way  of 
Be*th-sh£'mesh,  and  went  along 
the  highway,  lowing  as  they 
went,  and  turned  not  aside  to 
the  right  hand  or  to  the  left; 
and  the  lords  of  thePhi-Hs'tine* 
went  after  them  unto  the  border 
of  B&h-shg'mesh. 

13  Andtfc^o/Bfth-shrmesh 
were  reaping  their  wheat  har- 
vest in  the  valley:  and  they 
lifted  up  their  eyes,  and  saw  the 
ark,  ana  rejoiced  to  see  it. 

14  And  the  cart  came  into  the 
field  of  Jftsh'u-a,  a  B£th-sh?- 
mite,  and  stood  there,  where 
there  was  a  great  stone:  and 
thev  clave  the  wood  of  the  cart, 
and:  offered  the  kine  a  burnt 
offering  unto  the  Lord. 

15  And  the  LS'vites  took  down 


the  ark  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
coffer  that  was  with  it  where- 
in the  jewels  of  gold  were,  and 
put  them  on  the  great  stone: 
and  the  men  of  B£th~she'mesh 
offered  burnt  offerings  and  sac- 
rificed sacrifices  the  same  day 
unto  the  Lord. 

16  And  when  the  five  lords  of 
the  PhMis'tineg  had  seen  it, 
they  returned  to  Ek'rdn  the 
same  day. 

17  And  these  are  the  golden 
emerods  which  the  Phl-H s'tines 
returned  for  a  trespass  offering 
unto  the  Lord;  for  Ash'ddd 
one,  for  Ga'ia  one,  for  Aslse- 
Ion  one,  for  Gfith  one,  for  fik*- 
r6n  one; 

18  And  the  golden  mice,  ac- 
cording to  the  number  of  all 
the  cities  of  the  Phl-lls'traeg  be- 
longing to  the  five  lords,  both 
of  fenced  cities,  and  of  country 
villages,  even  unto  the  great 
stone  of  A1>el,  whereon  they 
set  down  the  ark  of  the  Lord: 
which  stone  remaineth  unto 
this  day  in  the  field  of  Josh'u-a, 
the  BSth-shrmite. 

19  IFAnd  he  smote  the  men  of 
BSth-she'mesh,  because  they 
had  looked  Into  the  ark  of  the 
Lord,  even  he  smote  of  the  peo- 
ple fifty  thousand  and  three- 
score and  ten  men:  and  the 
people  lamented,  because  the 
Lord  had  smitten  many  of  the 
people  with  a  great  slaughter. 

20  And  the  men  of  RSth-sh* 
mesh  said,  Who  is  able  to  stand 
before  this  holy  Lord  God? 
and  to  whom  shall  he  go  up 
from  us? 

21  And  they  sent  messengers 
to  the  inhabitants  of  Kir'jath- 
je"a-r!m,  saying,  The  Phl-ftY- 
tlnea  have  brought  again  the 
ark  of  the  Lord  ;  come  ye  down, 
and  fetch  it  up  to  you. 

CHAPTER  7 

The  Israelite*,  by  Samuel's  means, 
solemnly  repent  at  Mizpeh.  9  While 
Samuel  prays,  the  Philistines  are 
diseomjited. 

AND  the  men  of  Kir'jath- 
jg'a-rint  came,  and  fetched 
up.  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  and 
brought.it  into  the  house  of 
A-bln'a-dSb  in  the  hill,  and 
sanctified  £-le-a'zar  his  son  to 
keep  the  ark  of  the  Lord. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  while 
the  ark  abode  in  Kir  jath-j6'a- 
rim,  that  the  time  was  long; 
for  it  was  twenty  years:  and 
all  the  house  of  1  a'ra-el  lament- 
ed after  the  Lord. 

3  f  And  Sam'u-el  spake  unto 
all  the  house  of  Is/ra-el,  saying,

and  fasted  on  that  day,  and  said 
there.  We  have  sinned  against 
the  Lord.  And  Sftm'u-el  judged 
the  children  of  Ia'ra-el  in  Miz'- 
peh. 

7  And  when  the  Phi-Hs'tines 
heard  that  the  children  of  Ia'- 
ra-el were  gathered  together  to 
Miz'peh,  the  lords  of  the  Phi- 
lis'tinea  went  up  against  Ia'- 
ra-el. And  when  the  children 
of  Ia'ra-el  heard  it,  they  were 
afraid  of  the  Phi-Hs'tines. 

8  And  the  children  of  Ia'ra-el 
said  to  Sftm'u-el,  Cease  not  to 
cry  unto  the  Lord  our  God  for 
us,  that  he  will  save  us  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  Phi-Hs'tines. 

9  And  S&m'u-el  took  a  suck- 
ing lamb,  and  offered  it  for  a 
burnt  offering  wholly  unto  the 
Lord:  and  Sftm'u-el  cried  unto 
the  Loud  for  Ia'ra-el;  and  the 
Lord  heard  him. 

10  And  as  Sftm'u-el  was  offer- 
ing up  the  burnt  offering,  the 
Phl-lls'tinea  drew  near  to  battle 
against  Ia'ra-el:  but  the  Lord 
thundered  with  a  great  thunder 
on  that  day  upon  the  Phl-lls'- 
tinea,  and  discomfited  them; 
and  they  were  smitten  before 
Ia'ra-el. 

11  And  the  men  of  Ia'ra-el 
went  out  of  Miz'peh,  and  pur- 
sued the  Phi-lis'tinea,  and  smote 
them,  until  they  cams  under 
Bgth'^cfir. 

12  Then  Sam'u-el  took  a  stone, 
and  set  it  between  Miz'peh  and 
Shen,  and  called  the  name  of 
it  £b'en-€'zer,  saying,  Hitherto 
hath  the  Lord  helped  us. 

13  So  the  Phi-lis'tinea  were 
subdued,  and  they  came  no 
more  into  the  coast  of  Ia'ra-el : 
and  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was 
against  the  Phi-lis'tinea  all  the 
days  of  Sftm'u-el. 

14  And  the  cities  which  the 
Phi-lis'tinea  had  taken  from  Ia'- 
ra-el were  restored  to  Ia'ra-el, 
from  Ek'ron  even  unto  Gftth; 
and  the  coasts  thereof  did  Ia'- 


ra-el deliver  out  of  the  hands 
of  the  Phi-lis'tinea.  And  there 
was  peace  between  Ia'ra-el  and 
the  Am'dr-ites. 

15  UAnd  Sam'u-el  judged  Ia'- 
ra-el all  the  days  of  his  fife. 

16  And  he  went  from  year  to 
year  in  circuit  to  B&th'-el,  and 
GH'g&l,  and  Miz'peh,  and  judged 
Ia'ra-el  in  all  those  places. 

17  And  his  return  was  to  Rft'- 
mah ;  for  there  was  bis  house ; 
and  there  he  judged  Ia'ra-el; 
and  there  he  built  an  altar  un- 
to the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  8 

By  the  occasion  of  the  ill  government 
if  Samuel's  eons,  the  Israelites  ask 
a  kino.  19  Samuel  describee  how 
the  king  would  rule  over  them. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Sftm'u-el  was  old,  that  he 
made  his  sons  judges  over  la'- 
ra-el, 

2  Now  the  name  of  his  first- 
born  was  Jo'el;  and  the  name 
of  his  second,  A-bi'ah:  they 
were  judges  in  Bg'er-sht'ba. 

3  And  his  sons  walked  not  in 
his  ways,  but  turned  aside  after 
lucre,  and  took  bribes,  and  per 
verted  judgment 

4  Then  all  the  elders  of  Ia'- 
ra-el gathered  themselves  to- 
gether, and  came  to  Sftm'u-el 
unto  Rft'mah, 

5  And  said  unto  him,  Behold, 
thou  art  old,  and  thy  sons  walk 
not  in  thy  ways:  now  make  us 
a  king  to  judge  us  like  all  the 
nations. 

6  11  But  the  thing  displeased 
Sftm'u-el,  when  they  said,  Give 
us  a  king  to  judge  us.  And 
Sftm'u-el  prayed  unto  the  Lord. 

7  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Sftm'u-el,  Hearken  unto  the 
voice  of  the  people  in  all  that 
they  say  unto  thee:  for  they 
have  not  rejected  thee,  but  they 
have  rejected  me,  that  I  should 
not  reign  over  them. 

8  According  to  all  the  works 
which  they  have  done  since 
the  day  that  I  brought  them  up 
out  of  fi'gypt  even  unto  this 
day,  wherewith  they  have  for- 
saken me,  and  served  other 
gods,  so  do  they  also  unto  thee. 

9  Now  therefore  hearken  un- 
to their  voice :  howbeit  yet  pro- 
test solemnly  unto  them,  and 
shew  them  the  manner  of  the 
king  that  shall  reign  over 
them. 

10  UAnd  Sftm'u-el  told  all  the 
words  of  the  Lord  unto  the 
people  that  asked  of  him 
king. 

11  And  he  said,  This  will  be 
the  manner  of  the  king  that

shall  reign  over  you :  He  will 
take  your  sons,  and  appoint 
them  for  himself,  for  his  char- 
iots, and  to  be  his  horsemen; 
and  some  shall  run  before  his 
chariots. 

12  And  he  will  appoint  him 
captains  over  thousands,  and 
captains  over  fifties;  and  will 
set  them  to  ear  his  ground,  and 
to  reap  his  harvest,  and  to 
make  his  instruments  of  war, 
and  instruments  of  his  chariots. 

13  And  he  will  take  your 
daughters  to  be  confectiona- 
ries,  and  to  be  cooks,  and  to  be 
bakers. 

14  And  he  will  take  your 
fields,  and  your  vineyards,  and 
your  oliveyards,  even  the  best 
of  them,  and  give  them  to  his 
servants. 

15  And  he  will  take  the  tenth 
of  your  seed,  and  of  your  vine- 
yards, and  give  to  his  officers, 
and  to  his  servants. 

16  And  he  will  take  your  men- 
servants,  and  your  maidserv- 
ants, and  your  goodliest  young 
men,  and  your  asses,  and  put 
them  to  his  work. 

17  He  will  take  the  tenth  of 
your  sheep:  and  ye  shall  be  his 
servants. 

18  And  ye  shall  cry  out  in 
that  day  because  of  your  king 
which  ye  shall  have  chosen 
you;  and  the  Lord  will  not 
hear  you  in  that  day. 

19  if  Nevertheless  the  people 
refused  to  obey  the  voice  of 
S8m'u-el;  and  they  said,  Kay; 
but  we  will  have  a  king  over 
us; 

20  That  we  also  may  be  like 
all  the  nations;  and  that  our 
king  may  judge  us,  and  go  out 
before  us,  and  fight  our  battles. 

21  And  Sfim'u-el  heard  all  the 
words  of  the  people,  and  he  re- 
hearsed them  in  the  ears  of  the 
Lord. 

22  And  the  Lord  said  to  Sfim' 
u-el,  Hearken  unto  their  voice, 
and  make  them  a  king.  And 
Sfim'u-el  said  unto  the  men  of 
Is'ra-el,  Go  ye  every  man  unto 
his  city. 

CHAPTER  9 

Saul,  despairing  to  find  his  father's 
asses,  eomss  to  Samuel  15  God  re- 
veals to  Samuel  Saul's  coming,  and 
his  appointment  to  the  kingdom, 

NOW  there  was  a  man  of 
Ben'ja-mTn,  whose  name 
was  Kish,  the  son  of  A-bi'el, 
the  son  of  ZS'ror,  the  son  of 
B5-ch5'rath,  the  son  of  A-phi'- 
ah,  a  Ben'ja-mite,  a  mighty 
man  of  power. 
2  And  he  had  a  son,  whose 


name  woe  Saul,  a  choice  young 
man,  and  a  goodly:  and  there 
was  not  among  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  a  goodlier  person  than 
he :  from  his  shoulders  and  up- 
ward he  was  higher  than  any 
of  the  people. 

3  And  the  asses  of  Kish  Saul's 
father  were  lost  And  Kish  said 
to  Saul  his  son,  Take  now  one 
of  the  servants  with  thee,  and 
arise,  go  seek  the  asses. 

4  And  he  passed  through 
mount  fi'phrfi-im,  and  passed 
through  the  land  of  Sh&ri-sha, 
but  they  found  them  not :  then 
they  passed  through  the  land 
of  ShSlim,  and  there  they 
were  not:  and  he  passed 
through  the  land  of  the  B€n'- 
ja-mites,  but  they  found  them 
not 

5  And  when  they  were  come 
to  the  land  of  ZGph,  Saul  said 
to  his  servant  that  was  with 
him,  Come,  and  let  us  return; 
lest  my  father  leave  caring  for 
the  asses,  and  take  thought  for 
us. 

6  And  he  said  unto  him,  Be- 
hold now,  there  is  in  this  city 
a  man  of  God,  and  he  is  an 
honourable  man;  all  that  he 
saith  cometh  surely  to  pass: 
now  let  us  go  thither;  perad- 
venture  he  can  shew  us  our 
way  that  we  should  go. 

7  Then  said  Saul  to  his  serv- 
ant, But,  behold,  if  we  go, 
what  shall  we  bring  the  man  ? 
for  the  bread  is  spent  in  our 
vessels,  and  there  is  not  a  pres- 
ent to  bring  to  the  man  of  God : 
what  have  we  ? 

8  And  the  servant  answered 
Saul  again,  and  said,  Behold,  I 
have  here  at  hand  the  fourth 
part  of  a  shekel  of  silver :  that 
will  I  give  to  the  man  of  God, 
to  tell  us  our  way. 

9  (Before time  in  Is'ra-el,  when 
a  man  went  to  enquire  of  God, 
thus  he  spake,  Come,  and  let  us 
go  to  the  seer:  for  he  that  is 
now  called  a  Prophet  was  be- 
foretime  called  a  Seer.) 

10  Then  said  Saul  to  his  serv- 
ant, Well  said;  come,  let  us 
go.  So  they  went  unto  the  city 
where  the  man  of  God  was. 

11  IT  And  as  they  went  up 
the  hill  to  the  city,  they  found 
young  maidens  going  out  to 
draw  water,  and  said  unto  them, 
Is  the  seer  here  ? 

12  And  they  answered  them, 
and  said,  He  is ;  behold,  he  is 
before  you:  make  haste  now, 
for  he  came  to  day  to  the  city ; 
for  there  is  a  sacrifice  of  the 
people  to  day  in  the  high  place :

13  As  soon  as  ye  be  come  into 
the  city,  ye  shall  straightway 
find  him,  before  he  go  up  to  the 
high  place  to  eat :  for  the  peo- 
ple will  not  eat  until  he  come, 
because  he  doth  bless  the  sacri- 
fice; and  afterwards  they  eat 
that  be  bidden.  Now  therefore 
get  you  up ;  for  about  this  time 
ye  snail  find  him. 

14  And  they  went  up  into  the 
city:  and  when  they  were  come 
into  the  city,  behold,  S&m'u-el 
came  out  against  them,  for  to 
go  up  to  the  high  place. 

15  Hi  Now  the  Lord  had  told 
S&m'u-el  in  his  ear  a  day  before 
Saul  came,*saying, 

16  To  morrow  about  this  time 
I  will  send  thee  a  man  out  of  the 
land  of  Ben'ia-mm,  and  thou 
shalt  anoint  him  to  be  captain 
over  my  people  Is'ra-el,  that  he 
may  save  my  people  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  Phl-lls'tlnes. :  for  I 
have  looked  upon  my  people, 
because  their  cry  is  come  unto 
me. 

17  And  when  S&m'u-el  saw 
Saul,  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 
Behold  the  man  whom  I  spake 
to  thee  of!  this  same  shall 
reign  over  my  people. 

18  Then  Saul  drew  near  to 
Sam'u-el  in  the  gate,  and  said, 
Tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  where  the 
seer's  house  is. 

19  And  S&m'u-el  answered 
Saul,  and  said,  I  am  the  seer: 
go  up  before  me  unto  the  high 
place;  for  ye  shall  eat  with  me 
to  day,  and  to  morrow  I  will  let 
thee  jgo,  and  will  tell  thee  all 
that  %8  in  thine  heart. 

20  And  as  for  thine  asses  that 
were  lost  three  days  ago,  set  not 
thy  mind  on  them ;  for  they  are 
found.  And  on  whom  is  all  the 
desire  of  Is'ra-el  ?  Is  it  not  on 
thee,  and  on  all  thy  father's 
house? 

21  And  Saul  answered  and 
said.  Am  not  I  a  Ben'ja-mfte, 
of  the  smallest  of  the  tribes  of 
Is'ra-el  ?  and  m y  family  the  least 
of  all  the  families  of  the  tribe 
of  Ben'ja-min  ?  wherefore  then 
speakest  thou  so  to  me? 

22  And  SSm'u-el  took  Saul  and 
his  servant,  and  brought  them 
into  the  parlour,  and  made  them 
sit  in  the  chiefest  place  among 
them  that  were  bidden,  which 
were  about  thirty  persons. 

23  And  S&m'u*el  said  unto  the 
cook,  Bring  the  portion  which  I 
gave  thee,  of  which  I  said  unto 
thee,  Set  it  by  thee. 

24  And  the  cook  took  up  the 
shoulder,  and  that  which  was 
upon  it,  and  set  it  before  Saul. 


And  Sam'vrel  said,  Behold  that 
which  is  left !  set  it  before  thee, 
and  eat:  for  unto  this  time 
hath  it  been  kept  for  thee  since 
I  said,  I  have  invited  the  people. 
So  Saul  did  eat  with  Sam'u-el 
that  day. 

25  IT  And  when  they  were  come 
down  from  the  high  place  into 
the  city,  Sam'u-ei  communed 
with  Sgul  upon  the  top  of  the 
house. 

26  And  they  arose  early:  and 
it  came  to  pass  about  the  sprinj 
of  the  day,  that  S&m'u-el  callei 
Saul  to  the  top  of  the  house, 
saying,  Up,  that  I  may  send 
thee  away.  And  Sgul  arose, 
and  they  went  out  both  of 
them,  he  and  S&m'u-el,  abroad. 

27  And  as  they  were  going 
down  to  the  end  of  the  city, 
Sfim'u-el  said  to  Saul,  Bid  the 
servant  pass  on  before  us,  (and 
he  passed  on,)  but  stand  thou 
still  a  while,  that  I  may  shew 
thee  the  word  of  God. 

CHAPTER  10 

Samuel  anoints  Saul,  and  confirms 
him  by  the  prediction  cf  three  eigne. 
9  Said' 8  heart  is  changed,  and  he 
prophesies.  17  He  is  chosen  by  lot 
atMitpeh. 

rjlHEN  Sam'u-el  took  a  vial  of 
JL  oil,  and  poured  it  upon  his 
head,  and  kissed  him,  and  said. 
Is  it  not  because  the  Lord  hath 
anointed  thee  to  be  captain  over 
his  inheritance  ? 

2  When  thou  art  departed 
from  me  to  day,  then  thou 
shalt  find  two  men  by  Ra'chel's 
sepulchre  in  the  border  of  Ben'- 
ja-mln  at  ZeTzah ;  and  they  will 
say  unto  thee,  The  asses  which 
thou  wentest  to  seek  are  found : 
and,  lo,  thy  father  hath  left  the 
care  of  the  asses,  and  sorroweth 
for  you,  saying,  What  shall  I  do 
for  my  son  ? 

3  Then  shalt  thou  go  on  for- 
ward from  thence,  and  thou 
9halt  come  to  the  plain  of 
TfiTtfr,  and  there  shall  meet 
thee  three  men  going  up  to  God 
to  BCth'-el,  one  carrying  three

a  psaltery,  and  a  tabret,  and  a 
pipe,  and  a  harp,  before  them ; 
and  they  shall  prophesy: 

6  And  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
will  come  upon  thee,  and  thou 
shalt  prophesy  with  them,  and 
shalt  be  turned  into  another 
man. 

7  And  let  it  be,  when  these 
signs  are  come  unto  thee,  that 
thou  do  as  occasion  serve  thee ; 
for  God  is  with  thee. 

S  And  thou  shalt  go  down  be- 
fore me  to  Gil'g&l ;  and,  behold, 
I  will  come  down  unto  thee,  to 
offer  burnt  offerings,  and  to 
sacrifice  sacrifices  of  peace  of- 
ferings :  seven  days  shalt  thou 
tarry,  till  I  come  to  thee,  and 
shew  thee  what  thou  shalt  do. 

9  IT  And  it  was  so,  that  when 
he  had  turned  his  back  to  go 
from  Sam'u-el,  God  gave  him 
another  heart;  and  all  those 
signs  came  to  pass  that  day. 

10  And  when  they  came  thith- 
er to  the  hill,  behold,  a  company 
of  prophets  met  him ;  ana  the 
Spirit  of  God  came  upon  him, 
and  he  prophesied  among  them. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
all  that  knew  him  beforetime 
saw  that,  behold,  he  prophesied 
among  the  prophets,  then  the 

eople   said   one   to    another, 
Vh&t  is  this  that  is  come  unto 

the  son  of  Kish?  Is  Saul  also 

among  the  prophets? 

12  And  one  of  the  same  place 
answered  and  said,  But  who  is 
their  father?  Therefore  it  be- 
came a  proverb,  Is  Saul  also 
among  the  prophets? 

13  And.  when  he  had  made  an 
end  of  prophesying,  he  came  to 
the  high  place. 

14  If  And  Saul's  uncle  said 
unto  him  and  to  his  servant, 
Whither  went  ye  ?  And  he  said, 
To  seek  the  asses :  and  when  we 
saw  that  they  were  no  where, 
we  came  to  Sam'u-el. 

15  And  Saul's  uncle  said,  Tell 
me,  I  pray  thee,  what  Sam'u-el 
said  unto  you. 

16  And,  Saul  said  unto  his  un- 
cle. He  told  us  plainly  that  the 
asses  were  found.  But  of  the 
matter  of  the  kingdom,  whereof 
Sam'u-el  spake,  he  told  him  not. 

17  HAnd  Sam'u-el  called  the 
people  together  unto  the  Lord 
to  Miz'peh ; 

18  And  said  unto  the  children 
of  Is/ra-el,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Is/ra-el,  I  brought  up  Is/- 
ra-el  out  of  E'gypt,  and  deiiv 
ered  you  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  £gyp'tiang,  and  out  of  the 
hand  of  all  kingdoms,  and  of 
them  that  oppressed  you: 


19  And  ye  have  this  day  re- 
jected your  God,  who  himself 
saved  you  out  of  all  your  adver- 
sities and  your  tribulations; 
and  ye  have  said  unto  him, 
Nayf  but  set  a  king  over  us. 
Now  therefore  present  your- 
selves before  the  LORD  by  your 
tribes,  and  by  your  thousands. 

20  And  when  Sam'u-el  had 
caused  all  the  tribes  of  Ig'ra-el 
to  come  near,  the  tribe  of  Ben'* 
ja-min  was  taken. 

21  When  he  had  caused  the 
tribe  of  Ben'ja-mln  to  come 
near  by  their  families,  the  fam- 
ily of  Ma'tri  was  taken,  and  Saul 
the  son  of  Kish  was  taken :  and 
when  they  sought  him,  he  could 
not  be  found. 

22  Therefore  they  enquired  of 
the  Lord  further,  if  the  man 
should  yet  come  thither.  And 
the  Lord  answered,  Behold, 
he  hath  hid  himself  among  the 
stuff. 

23  And  they  ran  and  fetched 
him  thence :  and  when  he  stood 
among  the  people,  he  was  high- 
er than  any  of  the  people  from 
his  shoulders  and  upward. 

24  And  Sam'u-el  said  to  all  the 
people,  See  ye  him  whom  the 
Lord  hath  chosen,  that  there 
is  none  like  him  among  all  the 
people?  And  all  the  people 
shouted,  and  said,  God  save 
the  king. 

25  Then  Sam'u-el  told  the  peo- 
ple the  manner  of  the  king- 
dom, and  wrote  it  in  a  book, 
and  laid  it  up  before  the.  Lord. 
And  Sam'u-el  sent  all  the  peo- 
ple away,  every  man  to  his 
house. 

26  And  Saul  also  went  home 
to  GIb'e-ah;  and  there  went 
with  him  a  band  of  men,  whose 
hearts  God  had  touched. 

27  But  the  children  of  Beli-al 
said.  How  shall  this  man  save 
us?  And  they  despised  him, 
and  brought  him  no  presents. 
But  he  held  his  peace.

3  And  tike  elders  of  Ja"besh 
said  unto  him,  Give  us  seven 
days'  respite,  that  we  may  send 
messengers  unto  all  the  coasts 
of  lft'ra-el:  and  then,  if  there 

no  man  to  sate  us,  we  will 
come  out  to  thee. 

4  IT  Then  came  the  messen- 
gers to  Gib'feah  of  Saul,  and 
told  the  tidings  in  the  ears  of 
the  people :  and  all  the  people 
lifted  up  their  voices,  and  wept. 

5  And,  behold,, Saul  came  aft- 
er the  herd  out  of  the  field; 
and  Saul  said,  What. aileth  the 
people  that  they  weep?  And 
they  told  him  the  tidings  of  the 
men  of  Ja^besh. 

6  And  the  -Spirit  of  God  came 
upon  Sfculwhen  he  heard  those 
tidings,  and  his  anger  was  kin- 
dled greatly. 

7  And  he  took  a  yoke  of  oxen, 
and  hewed  them  in  pieces,  and 
sent  them  throughout  all  the 
coasts  of  Ia'ra-el  Xy  the  hands 
of  messengers,  saying,  Whoso- 
ever cometh  not  forth  after 
Saul  and  after  S&m'u-el,  so  shall 
it  be  done  unto  his  oxen.  And 
the  fear  of  the  Lord,  fell  .on  the 
people,  and  they  came  out  with 
one  consent 

8  And  when  he  numbered 
them  in  Be'zSk,  the  children 
of  Jl'mrel  were  three- hundred 
thousand,  and  the  men  of  Ju'- 
dah  thirty  thousand. 

9  And  they  said  unto  the  mes- 
sengers that  came,  Thus  shall 
ye  say  unto  .the.  men  of  J&- 
besh*fil'e*Sd,  To  morrow,  by 
thai  time  the  sun  be  hot,  ye

come  oat  unto  you,  and  ye  shall 
do  with  us  all  that  seenleth 
good  unto  you. 

fll  And  it  was  so  on  the  mor-

they  will  fear  the  Lord. 

AND  Sam'u-el  said  unto  all 
la'ra-el.  Behold,  I  have 
hearkened  unto  your  voice  in 
all  that  ye  said  unto  me,  and 
have  made  a  king  over  you. 

2  And  now**  behold,  the  king 
walketh  before  you:  and  I  am 
old  and  grayheaded;  and,  be- 
hold; my  sons  are  with  you 
and  I  have  walked  before  you 
from  my  childhood  unto  this 
day. 

3  Behold,  here  I  am :  witness 
against  me  before  the  Lord,  and 
before  his  anointed :  whose  ox 
have  I  taken?  or  whose  ass 
have  I  taken?  or  whom  have 
I  defrauded?  whom  have  I  op- 

ressed  ?  or  of  whose  hand  have 
received  any  bribe  to  blind 
mine  eyes  therewith?  and  I 
will  restore  it  you. 

4  And  they  said,  Thou  hast 
not  defrauded  us,  nor  oppressed 
us, .  neither  hast  thou  taken 
ought  of  any  man's  hand. 

5  And  he  said  unto  them,  The 
Lord  is  witness  against  you, 
and  his  anointed  is  witness  this 
day,  that  ye  have  not  found 
ought  in  my  hand.  And  they 
answered,  He  is  witness, 

6  HAnd  Sam'u-el  said  unto  the 
people,  It  is  the  Lord  that  ad- 
vanced Md'sef,  and  Aar'on,  and 
that  brought  your  fathers  up 
out  of  the  land  of  E'fejrpt 

7  Now  therefore  stand  still, 
that  I  may  reason  with  you  be- 
fore the  Lord  of  all  the  right 
eous  acts  of  the  Lord,  which 
he  did  to  yotl  and  to  your  fa- 
thers. 

8  When  Jfi'cob  was  come  into 
B'gypt,  and  your  fathers  cried 
unto  the  Lord,  then  the  Lord 
sent  Md'ses.  and  Aiufon,  which 
brought  forth  your  fathers  out 
of  Cgjfrt,  and  made  them  dwell 
in  this  place.

11  And  the  Lord  sent  Jfi-rub' 
ba-41,  and  Be'd&n,  and  Jeph'- 
thah,  and  SSm'u-el,  and  deliv- 
ered you  out  of  the  hand  of 
your  enemies  on  every  side, 
and  ye  dwelled  safe. 

12  And  when  ye  saw  that  N&'- 
hflsh  the  king  of  the  children 
of  Am'mftn  came  against  you, 
ye  said  unto  me,  Nay;  but  a 
king  shall  reign  over  us :  when 
the  'Lord  your  God  was  your 
king; 

13  Now  therefore  behold  the 
king  whom  ye  have  chosen, 
ana  whom  ye  have  desired! 
and,  behold,  the  Lord  hath  set 
a  king  over  you. 

14  If  ye  will  fear  the  Lord, 
and  serve  him,  and  obey  his 
voice,  and  not  rebel  against  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord, 
then  shall  both  ye  and  also  the 
king  that  reignetrr  over  you 
continue  following  the  Lord 
your  God: 

15  But  if  ye  will  not  obey  the 
voice  of  the  Lord,  but  rebel 
against  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord,  then  shall  the  hand 
of  the  Lord  be  against  you,  as 
it  was  against  your  fathers. 

16  Now  therefore  stand  and 
see  this  great  thing,  which  the 
Lord  will  do  before  your  eyes. 

17  is  it  not  wheat  harvest  to 
day  ?  I  will  call  unto  the  Lord, 
and  he  shall  send  thunder  and 
rain ;  that  ye  may  perceive  and 
see  that  your  wickedness  is 
great,  which  ye  have  done  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord,  in  ask- 
ing you  a  king. 

18  So  Sam'u-el  called  unto  the 
Lord  ;  and  the  Lord  sent  thun- 
der and*  rain  that  day :  and  all 
the  people  greatly  feared  the 
Lord  and  Sfim'u-el. 

19  And  all  the  people  said  un- 
to Sim'u*el,  Pray  for  thy  serv- 
ants unto  the:  Lord  thy  God, 
that  we  die  not:  for  we  have 
added  unto  all  our  sins  this 
evil,  to  ask  us  a  kino;. 

20  And  Sfim'u-el  said  unto  the 
people,  Fear  not:  ye  have  done 
all  this  wickedness:  yet  torn 
not  aside  from  following  the 


Lord,  but  serve  the  Lord  with 
all  your  heart; 

21  And  turn  ye  not  aside :  for 
then  should  ye  go  after  vain 
things,  which  cannot  profit  nor 
deliver;  for  they  ore  vain. 

22  For  the  Lord  will  not  for- 
sake his  people  for  his  great 
name's  sake:  because  it  nath 
pleased  the  Lord  to  make  you 
his  people. 

23  Moreover  as  for  me,  God 
forbid  that  I  should  sin  against 
the  Lord  in  ceasing  to  pray  for 
you:  but  I  will  teach  you  the 
good  and  the  right  way : 

24  Only  fear  the  Lord,  and 
serve  him  in  truth  with  all 
your  heart:  for  consider  how 
great  things  he  hath  done  for 
you. 

25  But  if  ye  shall  still  do 
wickedly,  ye  shall  be  consumed, 
both  ye  and  your  king. 

CHAPTER  13 
Saul's  selected  band;  3  he  calls  ih* 
Hebrews  to  OUgat  against  the  Phi- 
listines, whose  garrison  Jonathan 
had  smitten.  5  The  Philistines? 
great  host.  6  The  Israelites'  dis- 
tress. 8  Saul,  weary  of  staying  for 
Samuel,  sacrifices:  11  Samuel  re- 
vroveshim., 

SAUL  reigned  one  year;  and 
when  he  had  reigned'  two 
years  over  If/ra-el, 

2  Saul  chose  him  three  thou- 
sand men  of  Ig'ra-el;  whereof 
two  thousand  were  with  Saul  in 
Mlch'mash  and  in  mount  Bftth'- 
el,  and  a  thousand  were -with 
J5n'a4han  in  Glb'e*h  of  Ben'- 
ja-mln :  and  the  rest  of  the  peo- 
ple he  sent  every  man  to  his 
tent 

3  And  JoVa-than  smote  the 
garrison  of  the  Phi-lis'tineg 
that  was  in  GTba,  and  the  PhV 
lls'tlnea  >  heard  of  it.  And  Saul 
blew  the  trumpet  throughout 
all  the  land,  saying,  Let  the 
He'brews.  hear. 

4  And  all  Is/ra-el  heard  say 
that  Saul  had  smitten  a  garri- 
son of  the  PKf-Hs'tfneg,  and 
that  Is/ra-el  also  was  had  in 
abomination  with  the  PhMis'* 
tines.  And  the  people  were 
called  together  after  Saul  to 
Gil'gfil. 

5  And  the  PhMIs'tfnes  gath- 
ered- themselves  together  to 
fight  with  ls/ra-el,  thirty  thou- 
sand chariots,  and  six  thousand 
horsemen,  and  people  as  the 
sand  which  te  on  the  sea  shore 
in  multitude:  and  they  came 
up,  and  pitched  in  Mich'mashi 
eastward  from  Bgth-ITven.

then  the  people  did  hide  them- 
selves in  caves,  and  in  thickets, 
and  in  rocks,  and  in  high  places, 
and  in  pits. 

7  And:  some  of  the  Hebrews 
went  over  JoVdan  to  the  land  of 
Gad  and  Gil'e-fid.  As  f  or  Saul, 
he  was  yet  in  GiTgal,  and  all 
the  people  followed  him  trem- 
bling. 

8  And  he  tarried  seven  days, 
according  to  the  set  time  that 
Sam'u-el  had  appointed:  but 
Sam'u-el  came  not  to  Gil'g&l; 
and  the  people  were  scattered 
from  him. 

9  And  Sanl  said,  Bring  hither  a 
burnt  offering  to  me,  and  peace 
offerings.  And  he  offered  the 
burnt  offering. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
as  soon  as  he  had  made  an  end 
of  offering  the  burnt  offering, 
behold,  Sam'u-el  came;  and 
Saul  went  out  to  meet  him, 
that  he  might  salute  him. 

11  And  Sam'u-el  said,  What 
hast  thou  done?  And  Saul 
said,  Because  I  saw  that  the 
people  were  scattered  from 
me,  and  that  thou  earnest  not 
within  the  days  appointed,  and 
that  the  Phl-Hs'tlnes.  gathered 
themselves  together  at  Mich' 


12  Therefore  said  I,  The  Phi- 
Hs'tinea  will  come  down  now 
upon  me  to  GiTgal,  and  I  have 
not  made  supplication  unto  the 
Lord:  I  forced  myself  there- 
fore, and  offered  a  burnt  offer- 
ing. 

13  And  Sam'u-el  said  to  Saul, 
Thou  hast  done  foolishly :  thou 
hast  not  kept  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  thy  God,  which 
he  commanded  thee:  for  now 
would  the  Lord  have  estab- 
lished thy  kingdom  upon  ls/ra- 
el  for  ever. 

14  But  now  thy  kingdom  shall 
not  continue:  the  Lord  hath 
sought  him  a  man  after  his  own 
heart,  and  the  Lord  hath  com- 
manded him  to  be  captain  over 
his  people,  because  thou  hast 
not  kept  that  which  the  Lord 
commanded  thee. 

15  And  Sam'u-el  arose,  and  gat 
him  up  from  GH'gal  unto  Gib'- 
e-ah  of  Ben'ja-mln.  And  Saul 
numbered  the  people  that  were 
present  with  him,  about  six  hun- 
dred men. 

16  And  Saul,  and  Jdn'a-than 
his  son,  and  the  people  that 
were  present  with  them,  abode 
in  Glb'e-ah  of  Ben'ja-mln :  but 
the  Phi-lis'tineg  encamped  in 
Mich'mash. 
.  17  H  And  the  spoilers  came  out 


of  the  camp  of  the  PhMis'tlnea 
in  three  companies:  one  com- 
pany turned  unto  the  way  that 
Uaaeth  to  Oph'rah,  unto  the 
land  of  Shu'al : 

18  And  another  company 
turned  the  way  to  BSth-hS'- 
rdn:  and  another  company 
turned  to  the  way  of  the  bor- 
der that  looketh  to  the  valley  of 
Ze-b6'im  toward  the  wilderness. 

19  UNow  there  was  no  smith 
found  throughout  all  the  land 
of  Is'nwsl :  for  the  Phl-lis'tlnes. 
said;  Lest  the  Hebrews  make 
them  swords  or  spears: 

20  But  all  the  Is/ra-eMtes  went 
down  to  the  Phi-Hs'tine*,  to 
sharpen  every  man  his  share, 
and  his  coulter,  and  his  ax,  and 
his  mattock. 

21  Yet  they  had  a  file  for  the 
mattocks,  and  for  the  coulters, 
and  for  the  forks,  and  for  the 
axes,  and  to  sharpen  the  goads. 

22  So  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
day  of  battle,  that  there  was 
neither  sword  nor  spear  found 
in  the  hand  of  any  of  the  peo- 

Sle  that  were  with  Saul  and 
5n'a*than:  but  with  Sflul  and 
with  Jdn'a-than  his  son  w 
there  found. 

23  And  the  garrison  of  the 
Phi-Hs'tlnea  went  out  to  the  pas- 
sage of  Mich'mash. 

CHAPTER  14 

Jonathan  miraculously  smite*  the 
Philistines'  garrison  :  15  a  divine 
terror  makes  them  beat  themselves. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass  upon  a 
day;  that  J&n'a-than  the 
son  of  Saul  said  unto  the  young 
m  that  bare  his  armour, 
Come,  and  let  us  go  over  to 
the  Phl-Hs'tines/  garrison,  that 
is  on  the  other  side.  But  he 
told  not  his  father. 

2  And  Saul  tarried  in  the  ut- 
termost part  of  Glb'e-ah  under 
a  pomegranate  tree  which  is  in 
Mig'rdn:  and  the  people  that 
were  with  him  were  about  six 
hundred  men ; 

3  And  A-hi'ah,  the  son  of 
A-hi'tub,  r-cha-bSd's  brother, 
the  son  of  Phln'e-has,  the  son 
of  &li,  the  Lord's  priest  in  Shi'- 
ldh,  wearing  an  ephod.  And 
the  people  knew  not  that  Jdn'- 
a-than was  gone. 

4  If  And  between  the  passages, 
by  which  J&n'a-than  sought  to 
go  over  unto  the  Phl-lls  tines/ 
garrison,  there  was  a  sharp 
rock  on  the  one  side,  and  a 
sharp  rock  on  the  other  side: 
and  the  name  of  the  one  was 
Bo'zez,  and  the  name  of  the 
other  Se'neh.

was  situate  northward  over 
against  Mich'mash,  and  the 
other  southward  over  against 
GIb'oah. 

6  And  Jdn'a-than  said  to  the 
young  man  that  bare  his  ar- 
mour, Come,  and  let  us  go  over 
unto  the  garrison  of  these  un- 
circumcised :  it  may  be  that  the 
Lord  will  work  for  us:  for 
there  is  no  >  restraint  to  the 
Lord  to  save  by  many  or  by 
few. 

7  And  his  armourbearer  said 
unto  him.  Do  all  that  is  in 
thine  heart :  turn  thee ;  behold, 
I  am  with  thee  according  to 
thy  heart 

8  Then  said  Jdn'a4han,  Be- 
hold, we  will  pass  over  unto 
these  men,  and  we  will  dis- 
cover ourselves  unto  them. 

9  If  they  say  thus  unto  us, 
Tarry  until  we  come  to  you; 
then  we  will  stand  still  in  our 
place,  and  will  not  go  up  unto 
them. 

10  But  if  they  say  thus,  Come 
up  unto  us;  then  we  will  go 
up:  for  the  Lord  hath  deliv- 
ered them  into  our  hand :  and 
this  shall  be  a  sign  unto  us. 

11  And  both  of  them  discov- 
ered themselves  unto  the  gar- 
rison of  the  Phi-lis'tines:  and 
the  Phi-lis'tines  said.  Behold, 
the  HS'brewg  come  forth  out 
of  the  holes  where  they  had 
hid  themselves. 

12  And  the  men  of  the  garri- 
son answered  Jdn'a-than  and 
his  armourbearer,  and  said, 
Come  up  to  us,  and  we  will 
shew  you  a  thins*.  And  Jdn'a- 
than  said  unto  his  armourbear- 
er, Come  up  after  me:  for  the 
Lord  hath  delivered  them  into 
the  hand  of  Is/ra-el. 

13  And  Jdn'a-than  climbed  up 
upon  his  hands  and  upon  his 
feet,  and  his  armourbearer  aft- 
er him:  and  they  fell  before 
Jdn'a-than;  and  his  armour- 
bearer  slew  after  him. 

14  And  that  first  slaughter, 
which  Jdn'a-than  and  his  ar- 
mourbearer made,  was  about 
twenty  men,  within  as  it  were 
an  half  acre  of  land,  which  a 
yoke  of  oxen  might  plow. 

15  HAnd  there  was  trembling 
in  the  host,  in  the  field,  and 
among  all  the  people :  the  gar- 
rison, and  the  spoilers,  they 
also  trembled,  and  the  earth 
quaked :  so  it  was  a  very  great 
trembling. 

16  And  the  watchmen  of  Saul 
in  Gib'e-ah  of  Ben'ja-min 
looked;  and,  behold,  the  mul- 
titude melted  away,  and  they 


went  on  beating  down  one  an- 
other. 

17  HThen  said  Saul  unto  the 
people  that  were  with  him, 
Number  now,  and  see  who  is 

ne  from  us.    And  when  they 
id  numbered,  behold,  Jdn'a 

than    and    his    armourbearer 

were  not  there. 

18  And  Saul  said  unto  A-hi'ah, 
Bring  hither  the  ark  of  God. 
For  the  ark  of  God  was  at  that 
time  with  the  children  of  !§'- 
ra-ei 

19  IT  And  it  came  to  pass, 
while  Saul  talked  unto  the 
priest,  that  the  noise  that  was 
in  the  host  of  the  Phi-Hs'tlnes. 
went  on  and  increased:  and 
Saul  said  unto  the  priest,  With 
draw  thine  hand. 

20  And  Saul  and  all  the  peo- 
ple that  were  with  him  assem- 
bled themselves,  and  they  came 
to  the  battle:  and,  behold,  ev- 
ery man's  sword  was  against  his 
fellow,  and  there  was  a  very 
great  discomfiture. 

21  Moreover  the  Hebrews. 
that  were  with  the  Phl-lfe'tlnef 
before  that  time,  which  went 
up  with  them  into  the  camp 
from  the  country  round  about, 
even  they  also  turned  to  be 
with  the  Is'ra-el-ites  that  were 
with  Saul  and  Jdn'a-than. 

22  Likewise  all  the  men  of 
Is/ra-el  which  had  hid  them- 
selves in  mount  fi'phrft-im, 
when  they  heard  that  the  Phi- 
lis'tines.  fled,  even  they  also  fol- 
lowed hard  after  them  in  the 
battle. 

23  So  the  Lord  saved  ls'ra-el 
that  day :  and  the  battle  passed 
over  unto  B8th-a"ven. 

24  f  And  the  men  of  ls'ra-el 
were  distressed  that  day:  for 
Saul  had  adjured  the  people, 
saying,  Cursed  be  the  man  that 
eateth  any  food  until  evening, 
that  I  may  be  avenged  on  mine 
enemies.  So  none  of  the  peo- 
ple tasted  any  food. 

25  And  all  they  of  the  land 
came  to  a  wood ;  and  there  was 
honey  upon  the  ground. 

26  And  when  the  people  were 
come  into  the  wood,  behold,  the 
honey  dropped;  but  no

the  people  feared  the  oath. 

27  But  Jdn'a-than  heard  not 
when  his  father  charged  the 
people  with  the  oath:  where- 
fore he  put  forth  the  end  of  the 
rod  that  was  in  his  hand,  and 
dipped  it  in  an  honeycomb,  and 
put  his  hand  to  his  mouth; 
and  his  eyes  were  enlightened.

peonle,  and  said,  Thy  father 
straitly  charged  the  people  with 
an  oath,  saying,  Cursed  be  the 
man  that  eateth  any  food  this 
day.  And  the  people  were  faint 

29  Then  said  Jdn'a-than,  My 
father  hath  troubled  the  land: 
see,  I  pray  you,  how  mine  eyes 
have  been  enlightened,  because 
I  tasted  a  little  of  this  honey. 

30  How  much  more,  if  haply 
the  people  had  eaten  freely  to 
day  of  the  spoil  of  their  ene- 
mies which  they  found?  for 
had  there  not  been  now  a  much 
greater  slaughter  among  the 
PhUis'traes? 

31  And  they  smote  the  Phi 
lis'tines  that  day  from  Mich' 
mash  to  Aij'a-16n :  and  the  peo- 
ple were  very  faint 

32  And  the  people  flew  upon 
the  spoil,  and  took  sheep,  and 
oxen,  and  calves,  and  slew  them 
on  the  ground:  and  the  people 
did  eat  them  with  the  blood. 

33  Then  they  told-Saul,  sav- 
ing, Behold,  the  people  sin 
against  the  Lord,  in  that  they 
eat  with  the  blood.  And  he  said, 
Ye  have  transgressed:  roll  a 
great  stone  unto  me  this  day. 

34  And  Saul  said,  Disperse 
yourselves  among  the  people, 
and  say  unto  them,  Bring  me 
hither  every  man  his  ox,  and 
every  man  his  sheep,  and  slay 
them  here, and  eat;  and  sin  not 
against  the  Lord  in  eating  with 
the  blood.  And  all  the  people 
brought  every  man  his  ox  with 
him  that  night  and  slew  them 
there. 

35  And  Saul  built  an  altar  un- 
to the  Lord:  the  same  was  the 
first  altar  that  he  built  unto  the 
Lord. 

36  t And  Saul  said,  Let  us  go 
down  after  the  Phl-lis'tinea  hy 
night  and  spoil  them  until  the 
morning  light  and  let  us  not 
leave  a  man  of  them.  And  they 
said,  Do  whatsoever  seemeth 
good  unto  thee.  Then  said  the 
priest  Let  us  draw  near  hither 
unto  God. 

37  And  Saul  asked  counsel  of 
God,  Shall  I  go  down  after  the 
Phl-lis'tinea?  wilt  thou  deliver 
them  into  the  hand  of  Is'ra-el  ? 
But  he  answered  him  not  that 
day. 

38  And  Saul  said,  Draw  ye 
near  hither,  all  the  chief  of 
the  people:  and  know  and  see 
wherein  this  sin  hath  been 
this  day. 

39  For,  ae  the  Lord  liveth, 
which  saveth  ls/ra-el,  though  it 
be  in  Jdn'a-than  my  son,  he 
shall   surely   die.    But   there 


was  not  a  man  among  all  the 
people  that  answered  him. 

40  Then  said  he  unto  all  ls/- 
ra-el,  Be  ye  on  one  side,  and  I 
and  Jdn'a-than  my  son  will  be 
on  the  other  side.  And  the 
people  said  unto  Saul,  Do  what 
seemeth  good  unto  thee. 

41  Therefore  Saul  said  unto 
the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  Give 
a  perfect  hot.  And  Saul  and 
Jdn'a-than  were  taken :  but  the 
people  escaped. 

42  And  Saul  said,  Cast  lota 
between  me  and  Jdn'a-than  my 
son.  And  Jdn'a-than  was  taken. 

43  Then  Saul  said  to  Jdn'a- 
than,  Tell  me  what  thou  hast 
done.  And  Jdn'a-than  told  him, 
and  said,  I  did  but  taste  a  little 
honey  with  the  end  of  the  rod 
that  woe  in  mine  hand,  and,  lo, 
I  must  die. 

44  And  Saul  answered,  God  do 
so  and  more  also :  for  thou  shalt 
surely  die,  Jdn'a-than. 

45  And  the  people  said  unto 
Saul,  Shall  Jdn'a-than  die,  who 
hath  wrought  this  great  salva- 
tion in  Is'ra-el  ?  God  forbid:  ae 
the  Lord  liveth,  there  shall  not 
one  hair  of  his  head  fall  to  the 
ground;  for  he  hath  wrought 
with  God  this  day.  So  the  peo- 
ple rescued  Jdn'a-than,  that  he 
died  not 

46  Then  Saul  went  up  from 
following  the  Phi-lis'tines :  and 
the  Phi-lis'tines  went  to  their 
own  place. 

47  ItSo  Saul  took  the  kingdom 
over  Is'ra-el,  and  fought  against 
all  his  enemies  on  every  side, 
against  Md'ab,  and  against  the 
children  of  Am'mdn,  and  against 
Cdom,  and  against  the  kings  of 
Zd'bah,  and  against  thePhUIs'- 
tineg :  and  whithersoever  he 
turned  himself,  he  vexed  them. 

48  And  he  gathered  an  host 
and  smote  the  Am'a-ldk-ites, 
and  delivered  ls'ra-el  out  of  the 
hands  of  them  that  spoiled 
them. 

49  ITNow  the  sons  of  Saul  were 
Jdn'a-than,  and  Ish'u-1,  and  MeT 
chi-shu'a :  and  the  names  of  his 
two  daughters  were  these ;  the 
name  of  the  firstborn  Me'r&b, 
and  the  name  of  the  younger 
Mi'chal: 

50  And  the  name  of  Saul's  wife 
was  A-hln'o-fim,  the  daughter 
of  A-him'a-az :  and  the  name  of 
the  captain  of  his  host  was  Ab'- 
ner,  the  son  of  Ner,  Saul's  uncle. 

51  And  Kish  was  the  father  of 
Saul;  and  Ner  the  father  of 
Ab'ner  was  the  son  of  A-bi'eL 

52  And  there  was  sore"  war

days  of  Saul:  and  when  Saul 
saw  any  strong  man,  or  any 
valiant  man,  he  took  him  unto 
him. 

CHAPTER  15 

Said  sent  to  destroy  Amalek:  8  he 
spares  Agog,  and  the  beet  of  the 
spoil.  10  God  reject*  him  for  die- 
obedience. 

S AMU-EL  also  said  unto  Saul, 
The  Lord  sent  me  to  anoint 
thee  to  be  king  over  his  people, 
over  !s'ra«el:  now  therefore 
hearken  thou  unto  the  voice  of 
the  words  of  the  Lord. 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  I  remember  that  which 
Am'a-lSk  did  to  I§'ra-el,  how  he 
laid  wait  for  him  in  the  way, 
when  he  came  up  from  £'&fr>t 

3  Now  go  and  smite  Am'a-lSk, 
and  utterly  destroy  all  that  they 
have,  and  spare  them  not ;  but 
slay  both  man  and  woman,  in- 
fant and  suckling,  ox  and  sheep, 
camel'and  ass. 

4  And  Saul  gathered  the  peo- 
ple together,  and  numbered 
them  in  TeTa-Im,  two  hundred 
thousand  footmen,  and  ten 
thousand  men  of  Ju'dah. 

5  And  Saul  came  to  a  city  of 
Am'a-l&k,  and  laid  wait  in  the 
valley. 

6  If  And  Saul  said  unto  the 
Kenites,  Go,  depart,  get  you 
down  from  among  the  Am'a- 
lfck-ites,  lest  I  destroy  you  with 
them:  for  ye  shewed  kindness 
to  all  the  children  of  Is/ra-el, 
when  they  came  up  out  of 
Egft>t  So  the  Kenites  de- 
parted from  among  the  Am'a- 
fek-ites. 

7  And  Saul  smote  the  Am'a- 
l€k-ites  from  HaVi-lah  until 
thou  comest  to  Shur,  that  is 
over  against  E'&jfpt 

8  And  he  took  A'gftg  the  king 
of  the  Am'a-lftk-ltes  alive,  and 
utterly  destroyed  all  the  people 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword. 

9  But  Saul  and  the  people 
spared  A'gftg,  and  the  best  of 
the  sheep,  and  of  the  oxen,  and 
of  the  fatlings,  and  the  lambs, 
and  all  that  was  good,  and 
would  not  utterly  destroy  them : 
but  every  thing  that  was  vile 
and  refuse,  that  they  destroyed 
utterly. 

10  tThen  came  the  word  of 
the  Lord  unto  Sftm'u-el,  saying, 

11  It  repenteth  me  that  I  have 
set  up  Saul  to  be  king :  for  he 
is  turned  back  from  following 
me,  and  hath  not  performed  my 
commandments.  And  it  grieved 
Sftm'u-el;  and  he  cried  unto  the 
Lord  all  night 

12  And  when  Sftm'u-el  rose 
early  to  meet  Saul  in  the  morn- 

294 


ing,  it  was  told  Sftm'u-el,  saving, 
Saul  came  to  CaVmel,  and,  be- 
hold, he  set  him  up  a  place,  and 
is  gone  about,  and  passed  on, 
and  gone  down  to  Gll'gal. 

13  And  Sftm'u-el  came  to  Saul 
and  Saul  said  unto  him,  Blessed 
be  thou  of  the  Lord:  I  have 
performed  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord. 

14  And  Sftm'u-el  said,  What 
meaneth  then  this  bleating  of 
the  sheep  in  mine  ears,  and  the 
lowing  of  the  oxen  which  I 
hear? 

15  And  Saul  said,  They  have 
brought  them  from  the  Am'a- 
leTc-ites:  for  the  people  spared 
the  best  of  the  sheep  and  of  the 
oxen,  to  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord 
thy  God ;  and  the  rest  we  have 
utterly  destroyed. 

16  Then  Sftm'u-el  said  unto 
Saul,  Stay,  and  I  will  tell  thee 
what  the  Lord  hath  said  to  me 
this  night  And  he  said  unto 
him,  Say  on. 

17  And  Sftm'u-el  said,  When 
thou  wast  little  in  thine  own 
sight,  wast  thou  not  made  the 
head  of  the  tribes  of  ls/ra-el, 
and  the  Lord  anointed  thee 
king  over  Is/ra-el? 

18  And  the  Lord  sent  thee  on 
a  journey,  and  said,  Go  and  ut- 
terly destroy  the  sinners  the 
Am  a-lSk-ites,  and  fight  against 
them  until  they  be  consumed. 

19  Wherefore  then  didst  thou 
not  obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord, 
but  didst  flv  upon  the  spoil,  and 
didst  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord? 

20  And  Saul  said  unto  Sftm'u- 
el,  Yea,  I  have  obeyed  the  voice 
of  the  Lord,  and  have  gone  the 
way  which  the  Lord  sent  me, 
and  have  brought  A'gftg  the 
king  of  Am'a-l$k,  and  nave  ut- 
terly destroyed  the  Am'a-l£k- 
ites. 

21  But  the  people  took  of  the 
spoil,  sheep  and  oxen,  the  chief 
of  the  things  which  should  have 
been  utterly  destroyed,  to  sac- 
rifice unto  the  Lord  thy  God 
in  Gil'gal  1 

22  And  Sftm'u-el  said,  Hath 
the  Lord  as  great  delight  in 
burnt  offerings  and  sacrifices, 
as  in  obeying  the  voice  of  the 
Lord  ?  Behold,  to  obey  is  bet- 
ter than  sacrifice,  and  to  heark- 
en than  the  fat  of  rams. 

23  For  rebellion  is  as  the  sin 
of  witchcraft,  and  stubbornness 
is  as  iniquity  and  idolatry.  Be- 
cause thou  hast  rejected  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  he  hath  also 
rejected  thee  from  being  king. 

24  And  Saul  said  unto  Sftm'u-

el,  I  have  sinned:  for  I  hare 
transgressed  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord,  and  thy  words :  be- 
cause I  feared  the  people,  and 
obeyed  their  voice. 

25  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
pardon  my  sin,  and  torn  again 
with  me,  that  I  may  worship 
the  Lord. 

26  And  S&m'u-el  said  unto 
Saul,  I  will  not  return  with 
thee:  for  thou  hast  rejected 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
Lord  hath  rejected  thee  from 
being  king  over  Ia'ra-el. 

27  And  as  S&m'u-el  turned 
about  to  go  away,  he  laid  hold 
upon  the  skirt  of  his  mantle, 
and  it  rent 

28  And  S&m'u-el  said  unto 
him,  The  Lord  hath  rent  the 
kingdom  of  ls'ra-el  from  thee 
this  day,  and  hath  given  it  to  a 
neighbour  of  thine,  that  is  bet- 
ter then  thou. 

29  And  also  the  Strength  of 
Is'ra-el  will  not  lie  nor  repent 
for  he  is  not  a  man,  that  he 
should  repent 

30  Then  he  said,  I  have 
sinned:  yet  honour  me  now, 
I  pray  thee,  before  the  elders 
of  my  people,  and  before  Is/ra- 
el,  and  turn  again  with  me, 
that  I  may  worship  the  Lord 
thy  God. 

31  So  S&m'u-el  turned  again 
after  Saul ;  and  Saul  worshipped 
the  Lord. 

32  IfThen  said  S&m'u-el,  Bring 
ye  hither  to  me  A'g&g:  the  king 
of  the  Am'a-lek-ites.  And  A'g&g 
came  unto  him  delicately.  And 
A'g&g  said,  Surely  the  bitter- 
ness of  death  is  past 

33  And  S&m'u-el  said,  As  thy 
sword  hath  made  women  child- 
less, so  shall  thy  mother  be 
childless  among  Women;  And 
S&m'u-el  hewed  A'gjSg  in  pieces 
before  the  Lord  in  Gfl'gal 

34  f  Then  Sam'u-el  went  to 
RS'mah;  and  Saul  went  up  to 
his  house  to  Gib'e-ah  of  Saul 

35  And  S&m'u-el  came  no  more 
to  see  Saul  until  the  day  of  his 
death :  nevertheless  s&m'u-el 
mourned  for  Saul :  and  the 
Lord  repented  that  he  had 
made  Saul  king  over  Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER  16 
Samuel  tent  by  God  to  Beth-Ukem. 
11  He  anoints  David.  15  Saul  Bends 
Sor  David  to  quist  his  evil  spirit. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto 
S&m'u-el,  How  long  wilt 
thou  mourn  for  Saul,  seeing  I 
have  rejected  him  from  reign- 
ing over  Ia'ra-el  1  fin  thine  horn 
with  oil,  and  go,  I  will  send 
thee  to  Jes'se  the  Beth'-le-hem- 


Ite:  for  I  have  provided  me  a 
king  among  his  sons. 

2  And  Sflm'u-el  said,  How  can 
I  go?  if  Saul  hear  it,  he  will 

me.  And  the  Lord  said, 
Take  an  heifer  with  thee,  and 
say,  I  am  come  to  sacrifice  to 
the  Lord. 

3  And  call  Jes'se  to  the  sacri- 
fice, and  I  will  shew  thee  what 
thou  shalt  do:  and  thou  shalt 
anoint  unto  me  him  whom  I 
name  unto  thee. 

4  And  S&m'u-el  did  that  which 
the  Lord  spake,  and  came  to 
Bgth'-le-hem.  And  the  elders 
of  the  town  trembled  at  his 
coming,  and  said,  Comest  thou 
peaceably? 

5  And  he  said,  Peaceably:  I 
am  come  to  sacrifice  unto  the 
Lord:  sanctify  yourselves,  and 
come  with  me  to  the  sacrifice. 
And  he  sanctified  Jes'se  and  his 
sons,  and  called  them  to  the 
sacrifice. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  were  come,  that  he  looked 
on  fi-li'ab,  and  said,  Surely  the 
Lord's  anointed  is  before  him. 

7  But  the  Lord  said  unto 
Sfim'u-el,  Look  not  on  his  coun- 
tenance, or  on  the  height  of 
his  stature ;  because  I  have  re- 
fused him :  for  the  Lord  seeth 
not  as  man  seeth ;  for  man  look- 
eth  on  the  outward  appearance, 
but  the  Lord  looketh  on  the 
heart 

8  Then  Jes'se  called  A-bin 
d&b,  and  made  him  pass  before 
S&m'u-el.  And  he  said,  Neither 
hath  the  Lord  chosen  this. 

9  Then  Jes'se  made  Shftm'- 
mah  to  pass  by.  And  he  said, 
Neither  hath  the  Lord  chosen 
this. 

10  Again,  Jes'se  made  seven 
of  his  sons  to  pass  before  Sara' 
u-eL  And  S&m'u-el  said  unto 
Jes'se,  The  Lord  hath  not  chos- 
en these. 

11  And  S&m'u-el  said  unto 
Jes'se,  Are  here  all  thy  children? 
And  he  said,  There  remaineth 
vet  the  youngest,  and,  behold, 
he  keepeth  the  sheep.  And 
S&m'u-el  said  unto  Jes'se,  Send 
and  fetch  him :  for  we  will  not 
sit  down  tin  he  come  hither. 

12  And  he  sent,  and  brought 
him  in.  Now  he  was  ruddy, 
and  withal  of  a  beautiful  coun- 
tenance, and  goodly  to  look  to. 
And  the  Lord  said,  Arise, 
anoint  him:  for  this  is  he. 

13  Then    S&m'u-el    took   the 
horn  of  oil,  and  anointed  him 
in  the  midst  of  bis  brethren 
and  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  came 
Upon  D&'vid  from  that  day  f or-

ward    So  SSm'u-el  rose  up,  and 
went  to  R&'mah. 

14  ITBut  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
departed  from  Saul,  and  an  evil 
soirit  from  the  Lord  troubled 
him.  . 

15  And  Saul's  servants  said 
unto  him.  Behold  now;  an  evil 
spirit  from  God  troubleth  thee. 

16  Let  our  lord  how  command 
thy  servants,  which  ore  before 
thee,  to  seek  out  a  man;  who  is 
a  cunning  player  on.  an  harp: 
and  it  shall  come  to^ass;  when 
the  evil  spirit  from  God  is  upon 
thee,  that  he  shall  play*  with  his 
hand,  and  thou  shalt  he  well. . 

17  And  Saul  said  unto  his  serv- 
ants, Provide  me  now  a  man  that 
can  play  well,  and  bring  Aim  to 
me. 

18  Then  answered  one  of  the 
servants,  and  said,  Behold,  I 
have  seen  a  son  of  JeVse  the 
BeW-15-hem-ite,  •  that  is  eun* 
ning  in  playing,  and  a  mighty 
valiant  man,  and  a  man  of  war, 
and  prudent  in  matters,  and  a 
comely  person,  and  the*  LORD  is 
with  him. 

19  Wherefore  Saul  sent  mes- 
sengers unto  Jes'se/ahd  said, 
Send  me  Da'vid  thy  son,  which 
t*  with  the  sheep.    . 

20  And  J&'se  took  an  ass  la- 
den with  bread,  and  a  bottle  of 
wine,  and  a  kid,  and  sent  them 
by  Dfi'vid  his  son  nnto  Saul. 

21  And  Da'vid  came  to  Saul, 
and  stood  before  him :  and  he 
loved  him  greatly;  and  he  be* 
came  his  armourbearer. 

22  And  Saul  sent  to  JeVse; 
saying,  Let  Da'vid,  I  pray  thee, 
stand  before  me;  for  he  hath 
found  favour  in  my  sight. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  evil  spirit  from  God'  was 
upon  Saul,  that  Da'vid  took  an 
harp,  and  played  with  hia  hand  : 
so  Saul  was  refreshed,  and  was 
well,  and  the  evil  spirit  departed 
from  him.

gee  a  combat :  12  Vavid  accepts  the 
challenge,  and  days  him.  55  Saul 
takes  notice  of  David. 

NOW  the  Phl-Hs'tines  gath- 
ered together  their  armies 
to  battle,  and  were  gathered  to- 
gether at  Shd'chdh,  which  be* 
Tongeth  to  J&'dah,  and  pitdhed 
between  Shd'choh  and  A*ae'kah; 
in  E'phesrdftm'mint 

2  And  Sard  and  the  men  of 
Ig'ra-el  were  gathered  together, 
and  pitched  by  the  valley  of 
Eflah,  and  set  the  battle  in  ar- 
ray against  the  FhMis'tlnesy 

3  And  the  PhfrnVfinet  stood 


on  a  mountain  on  the  one  side, 
and  Is.'ra*el  stood  ton  a  mountain 
on  the  other  side:  and  there 
was  a  valley  between  them. 

4  And  there  went  out  a  cham* 

Pion  out  df  the  camp  of  the 
ht4is'tmes;  named  GWath;  of 
Gath,  whose  height  was  aix  cu- 
bits and  a  span. 

5  And  he  had  an  helmet  of 
brass  upon  his  head,  and  he  was 
armed  with  a  coat  of  mail ;  and 
the  weight  of  the  coatwoa  five 
thousand  shekels  of  brass.  "■ 

6  And  he  had  greaves  of  brass 
upon  his  legs,  and  a  target  of 
brass  between  his  shoulders; ' 

7  And  the  Staff  of  hut  spear 
was  like  a  weaver's  beam;  and 
hit  spear's  head  weighed  %vl 
hundred  shekels  of  iron:  and 
one  bearing  a  shield  went,  be* 
fore  him. 

8  And  he  stood  and  cried  unto 
the  armies  of  Is'ra-eJ,  ansf  fcaid 
tmto  them,  Why<afe  ye  cdme 
out  to  set  yo%tr  battle  in  array  ? 
am  not  I  a  Phi-lftftiiife,  and  ye 
servants  to  Saul?  xhooseiyo*  a 
man  for  yony  andlet  him  -come 
down  to  me; 

9  If  he  be  abk-  to  fight  with 
me,  and  to  kill  me,  *hen  .will  we 
be  your  servants:  bat  if  i  pre* 
vaiLagainst  him,  and  kill  him, 
then  shall  ye  be  our  servants, 
and  servers. 

10  And  the  FnMIs'tine  satd,I 
defy  the  armies  of  Ig'ra-el  this 
day;  give  me  a  .man,  that  we 
may  fight  together.' 

11  When  Saul  and  all  Is*ra-el 
heard  those  words  of  the  Phi* 
lia'tthe,  they  wefce  dismayed, 
and  greatly  afraid.' 

12  UNow  Dafvid' wo*  the  son 
df  that  £ph'rath-ite  of  BefliMe* 
henHfi'dah,  whose:  name  was 
JeVse ;  and  he  had  eight  sens? 
and  the  man  went  among  men 
for  an  old  man  in  the  days  of 

Saul-  -:      • 

13  And  taentfcree  eldest  son's 
of  JeVse  went  tend  followed 
Saul  to  the  battle:  And  the 
names  of  his  three  sons  that 
went  to  the  battle  were  ft*$f- 
ab  the  firstborn,  and  next  «nto 
him  A«bir/a>dfib,  and  the  third 
Sham'mah. 

14  And  Da'vid  was  the  young- 
est; .and  the  three  eldest  fol- 
lowed Saul. 

15  But  Dl'vid  went  and  re- 
turned from  Saul  to  feed  Vis

parched  cam,  aad  these  ten 
loaves,  and  run  to  the  camp  to 
thy  brethren ;

unto  the  captain  of  their  thou*

19  Now  Saul,  and  they,  and 
all  the  men  of  Is/ra-eJ,  were  in 
the  valley  of  Clan,  fighting 
with  the  Pbi'hYtine* 

20  And  David  rose  up  early 
in  the  morning,  and  left  the 
sheep  with  a  keeper,  and  took, 
and1  west,  as'  Jes'se  had  com- 
manded him;  and  he  came  to 
the  trench,  as  the  host  was 
going  forth  to  the  fight*  and 
Shouted  for  the  battle. 

21  For  Is/ra-el  and  the  Phi- 
Hs'tines.  had  put  the  battle  in 
array,  army  against  army. 

22  And  Dfi'vid  left  bis  car* 
riage  in  the  hand  of  the  keeper 
of  the  carriage,  and  ran  into 
the  army,  and  came  and  sainted 
his  brethren. 

23  And  as  he  talked  with 
them,  behold,  there  came  up 
the  champion,  the '  PhI4Is'tine 
of  Gfith*  Gft-li'ath  by  name,  out 
of  the  armies  of  the  PhMis'- 
tlnef,  and  spake  according  to 
the  same  words:  and  DaTvid 
heard  them. 

24  And  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-eL 
wben  they  saw  the  inan,  fled 
from  him,  and  were  sore  afraid. 

25  And  the  men  of  I&'ra-el 
said,  Have  ye  seen  this  man 
that  is  come  up  ?  surely  to  defy 
Is/ra-el  is  he  come  up:  and  it 
shall  be,  that  the  man  who 
killeth  him, ;  the  ling  will  en- 
rich him  with  great  riches,  and 
will  give  him  his  daughter,  and 
make  his  father's  house  free  in 
Is/ra-el. 

26  And  Drvid  spake  to  the 
men  that  stood  by  him,  saying, 
What  shall  be  done  to  the  man 
that  killeth  this  Phl-Bs'tfne, 
and  taketh  away-  the  reproach 
from, 'Is/ra-el?  for  who  xe  this 
unciraimcised  PhMIs'ttne,  that 
he  should  defy  the  armies  of 
the  living  God? 

27  And  the  people  answered 
him  after  this  manner,  saying, 
So  shall  it  be  done  to  the  man 
that  killeth  him.  ' '  < 

28  And  S-irab'  his  eldest  broth- 
er heard  when  he  spake  nnto 
the  men ;  and  £-li'abTs  anger 
was  kindled  a&ainst  Dfl'vid,  and 
be  said,  Why  earnest  thou  down 
hither?  and  with  whom  hast 
thou4  left  those  few  sheep  in 
the  wilderness?  I  know  thy 
pride,  and  the  naughtiness  of 


thine  heart;  for  thou  art  come 
down  that  thou  mightest  see 
the  battle. 

29  And  D3  rid  said,  What  hare 
I  now;  done?  Ie  there  not  a 
cause? 

30  And  he  turned  from  him 
toward  another,  and  spake  after 
the  same  manner:  and  the  peo- 
ple answered  him  again  after 
the  former  manner. 

31  And  when  the  words  were 
heard  which  DaVid  spake,  they 
rehearsed  them  before  Saul : 
and  he  sent  for  him. 

32  If  And  Da^id  said  to  Saul; 
Let  no  marts  heart  fail  because 
of:  hhn ; :  thy  servant  will  go  and 
fight  with  this  Phi-lis'tine. 

33  And:  Saul  said  to  Dfi'vid, 
Thou  art  not  able  to  go  against 
this  Phi-lls'tine  to  fight  with 
him  :•  for  thou  art  but  a,  youth, 
and. he  a  man  of  war  from  his 
youth. 

34  And  Dfi'vid  said  unto  Saul, 
Thy  servant  kept  his  father's 
sheep*  and  there  came  a  lion, 
and  a  bear,  and  took  a  lamb 
out  of  the  .flock: 

36  And  I  went  out  after  him, 
and  smote  hhn,  and  delivered  it 
out  of  his  mouth  i  and  when  he 
arose  against  me,  I  caught  him 
by  his  beard,  and  smote  him, 
and  slew  him. 

36  Thy  servant  Slew  both  the 
lion,  ana  the  bear:  and  this  un- 
circumcised PbMis'tlne  shall  be 
as  one  of  them,  seeing  he  hath 
defied  the  armies  of  the  living 
God. 

37  Da'vid:  said  moreover,  The 
Lord  that  delivered  me  out  of 
the  paw  of  the  lion,  and  out  of 
the  paw  of  the  bear,  he  will  de- 
liver me  out  of  the  hand  of  this 
Phi-Hs'tlne.  And  Saul  said' un- 
to Dfi'vid,  Go,  and  the  Lord  be 
with  thee. 

38  If  And  Saul  armed  DaVid 
with  his  armour,  and  he  put  an. 
helmet  of  brass  upon  his  head; 
also  he  armed  him  with  a  coat 
of  mail 

39  And  Da'vid  girded  his 
sword  upon  his  armour,  and 
he  assayed  'to  go ;  for  he  had 
not  proved  it.  And  Da'vid  said 
unto  Saul,  I  cannot  go  with 
these;  for  I  have  not  proved 
them*  And  Da'vid  put  them 
off  him:  i 

40  And  he  took  his  staff  in 
his  hand,  and  chose  him  five 
smooth  stones  out  of  the  brook, 
and  put  them  in  a  shepherd's 
bag  which  he  had,  even  in  a 
scrip ;  and  his  sling  woe  in  his 
hand:  and  be  drew  near  to  the

41  And  the  Phi-lis'tine  came 
on  and  drew  near  unto  Da'vid ; 
and  the  man  that  bare  the 
shield  went  before  him. 

42  And  when  the  Phi-lis'tine 
looked  about,  and  saw  Da'vid, 
he  disdained  him:  for  he  was 
but  a  youth,  and  ruddy,  and  of 
a  fair  countenance. 

43  And  the  Phi-lis'tine  said 
unto  Da'vid,  Am  I  a  dog,  that 
thou  contest  to  me  with  staves  ? 
And  the  PhHis'tlne  cursed  Da'- 
vid by  his  gods. 

44  And  the  Phi-lis'tine  said  to 
Da'vid,  Come  to  me,  and  I  will 
give  thy  flesh  unto  the  fowls  of 
the  air,  and  to  the  beasts  of  the 
field. 

45  Then  said  Da'vid  to  the 
Phi-lis'tine,  Thou  comest  to  me 
with  a  sword,  and  with  a  spear, 
and  with  a  shield :  but  I  come 
to  thee  in  the  name  of  the  LORD 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  the  armies 
of  Is'ra-el,  whom  thou  hast 
defied. 

46  This  day  will  the  Lord  de- 
liver thee  into  mine  hand ;  and 
I  will  smite  thee,  and  take  thine 
head  from  thee ;  and  I  will  give 
the  carcases  of  the  host  of  the 
PhMis'tines  this  day  unto  the 
fowls  of  the  air,  and  to  the  wild 
beasts  of  the  earth ;  that  all  the 
earth  may  know  that  there  is  a 
God  in  If'ra-el. 

47  And  all  this  assembly  shall 
know  that  the  Lord  saveth  not 
with  sword  and  spear :  for  the 
battle  is  the  Lord's,  and  he  will 
give  you  into  our  hands. 

48  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  Phi4is'titae  arose,  and  came 
and  drew  nigh  to  meet  Da'vid, 
that  Da'vid  hasted,  and  ran  to- 
ward the  army  to  meet  the  Phi- 
lis'tine. 

49  And  Da'vM  put  his  hand  in 
his  bag,  and  took  thence  a  stone, 
and  slang  it,  and  smote  the  Phi- 
lis'tine  in  his  forehead,  that  the 
stone  sunk  into  his  forehead; 
and  he  fell  upon  his  face  to  the 
earth. 

50  So  Da'vid  prevailed  over 
the  Phi-lis'tine  with  a  sling  and 
with  a  stone,  and  smote  the 
Phi-lis'tine,  and  slew  him ;  but 
there  was  no  sword  in  the 
hand  of  Da'vid. 

51  Therefore  Da'vid  ran,  and 
stood  upon  the  Phi-lis'tine,  and 
took  his  sword,  and  drew  it  out 
of  the  sheath  thereof,  and  slew 
him,  and  cut  off  his  head  there- 
with. And  when  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines.  saw  their  champion  was 
dead,  they  fled. 

52  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  and 
of  Ju'dah  arose,  and  shouted, 


and  pursued  the  PhHIs'tlnei, 
until  thou  come  to  the  valley, 
and  to  the  gates  of  Ek'rfln. 
And  the  wounded  of  the  Phi- 
lis'tinea  fell  down  by  the  way 
to  Sha-a-rft'im,  even  unto  Gftth, 
and  unto  Ek'ron. 

53  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
returned  from  chasing  after  the 
Phi-lis'tinefi,  and  they  spoiled 
their  tents. 

54  And  Da'vid  took  the  head 
of  the  Phi-lis'tine,  and  brought 
it  to  JS-ru/sa-lem ;  but  he  put 
his  armour  in  his  tent 

55  HAnd  when  Saul  saw  Da 
vid  go  forth  against  the  Phi-lis'- 
tine, he  said  unto  Ab'ner,  the 
captain  of  the  host,  Ab'ner, 
whose  son  is  this  youth  ?  And 
Ab'ner  said,  As  thy  soul  liveth, 
O  king,  I  cannot  tell. 

56  And  the  king  said.  Enquire 
thou  whose  son  the  stripling  is. 

57  And  as  Da'vid  returned 
from  the  slaughter  of  the  PmV 
Ks'tine,  Ab'ner  took  him,  and 
brought  him  before  Saul  with' 
the  head  of  the  Phi-lis'tine  in 
his  hand. 

58  And  Saul  said  to  him, 
Whose  son  art  thou,  thou  young 
man  ?  And  Da'vid  answered,  7 
am  the  son  of  thy  servant  Jes'- 
se  the  Beth'-ie-hem-ite. 

CHAPTER  18 

Jonathan  loves  David.  8  Saul 
vies  his  praise,  10  seeks  to  kill  him 
in  his  fury,  17  he  offers  him  his 
daughter  for  a  snare. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  had  made  an  /end  of 
speaking  unto  Saul,  that  the 
soul  of  Jon'a-than  was  knit  with 
the  soul  of  Da'vid,  and  Jdn'a- 
than  loved  him  as  his  own  soul. 

2  And  Saul  took  him  that  day, 
and  would  let  him  go  no  more 
home  to  his  father's  house. 

3  Then  Jdn'a-than  and  Da'vid 
made  a  covenant,  because  he 
loved  him  as  his  own  soul. 

4  And  Jdit'a-than  stripped  him- 
self of  the  robe  that  was  upon 
him,  and  gave  it  to  Da'vid,  and 
his  garments,  even  to  his  sword, 
and  to  his  bow,  and  to  his  girdle. 

5  tAnd  Da'vid  went  out  whith- 
ersoever Saul  sent  him,  and  be- 
haved himself  wisely :  and  Saul 
set  him  over  the  men  of  war, 
and  he  was  accepted  in  the  sight 
of  all  the  people,  and  also  in 
the  sight  of  Saul's  servants. 

6  IF  And  it  came  to  pass  as 
they  came,  when  Da'vid  was  re- 
turned from  the  slaughter  of 
the  Phi-lis'tine,  that  the  women 
came  out  of  all  cities  of  ls/ra- 
el,  singing  and  dancing*  to  meet 
king  Saul,  with  tabrets,  with;

7  And  the  women  answered 
one  another  as  they  played, 
and  said,  Saul  hath  slain  his 
thousands,  and  Da'vid  his  ten 
thousands. 

8  And  Saul  was  very  wroth, 
and  the  saying  displeased  him ; 
and  he  said,  They  have  as- 
cribed unto  Da'vid  ten  thou- 
sands, and  to  me  they  have  as- 
cribed but  thousands :  and  what 
can  he  have  more  but  the  king- 
dom? 

9  And  Saul  eyed  Da'vid  from 
that  day  and  forward. 

10  UAnd  it  came  to  pass  on 
the  morrow,  that  the  evil  spirit 
from  God  came  upon  Saul,  and 
he  prophesied  in  the  midst  of 
the  house:  and  Da'vid  played 
with  his  hand,  as  at  other  times : 
and  there  was  a  javelin  in 
Saul's  hand. 

11  And  Saul  cast  the  javelin ; 
for  he  said,  I  will  smite  Da'vid 
even  to  the  wall  with  it.  And 
Da'vid  avoided  out  of  his  pres- 
ence twice. 

12  f And  Saul  was  afraid  of 
Da'vid,  because  the  Lord  was 
with  him,  and  was  departed 
from  Saul. 

13  Therefore  Saul  removed 
him  from  him,  and  made  him 
his  captain  over  a  thousand; 
and  he  went  out  and  came  in 
before  the  people. 

14  And  Da'vid  behaved  him- 
self wisely  in  all  his  ways ;  and 
the  Lord  was  with  him. 

15  Wherefore  when  Saul  saw 
that  he  behaved  himself  very 
wisely,  he  was  afraid  of  him. 

16  But  all  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah 
loved  Da'vid,  because  he  went 
out  and  came  in  before  them. 

17  UAnd  Saul  said  to  Dfi'vid, 
Behold  my  elder  daughter  MS'- 
rab,  her  will  I  give  thee  to  wife : 
only  be  thou  valiant  for  me, 
and  fight  the  Lord's  battles. 
For  Saul  said,  Let  not  mine 
hand  be  upon  him,  but  let  the 
hand  of  the  PhMIs'tinea.  be  up- 
on him. 

18  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Saul, 
Who  am  I?  and  what  is  my 
life,  or  my  father's  family  in 
Is'ra-el,  that  I  should  be  son  in 
law  to  the  king? 

19  But  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
time  when  MS'rflb  Saul's  daugh- 
ter should  have  been  given  to 
Da'vid,  that  she  was  given  unto 
A'dri-el  the  Me-h5l  ath-Ite  to 
wife. 

20  And  Mi'chal  Saul's  daugh- 
ter loved  Da'vid:  and  they  told 
S§ul,  and  the  thing  pleased  him. 


21  And  Saul  said,  I  will  give 
him  her,  that  she  may  be  a 
snare  to  him,  and  that  the  hand 
of  the  Phl-Hs'tines.  may  be 
against  him.  Wherefore  Saul 
said  to  Da'vid,  Thou  shalt  this 
day  be  my  son  in  law  in  the 
one  of  the  twain. 

22  And  Sftul  commanded  his 
servants,  saying,  Commune 
with  Da'vid  secretly,  and  say, 
Behold,  the  king  hath  delight 
in  thee,  and  all  his  servants 
love  thee:  now  therefore  be 
the  king's  son  in  law. 

23  And  Saul's  servants  spake 
those  words  in  the  ears  of  Da'- 
vid. And  Da'vid  said,  Seemeth 
it  to  you  a  light  thing  to  be  a 
king's  son  in  law,  seeing  that  I 
am  a  poor  man,  and  lightly  es- 
teemed? 

24  And  the  servants  of  Saul 
told  him,  saying,  On  this  man- 
ner spake  Dfi'vid. 

25  And  Saul  said,  Thus  shall 
ye  say  to  Da'vid,  The  king  de- 
sireth  not  any  dowry,  but  an 
hundred  foreskins  of  the  Phi- 
Hs'tinea,  to  be  avenged  of  the 
king's  enemies.  But  Saul 
thought  to  make  Da'vid  fall  by 
the  hand  of  the  Phl-lfa'tlnes. 

26  And  when  his  servants  told 
Da'vid  these  words,  it  pleased 
Da'vid  well  to  be  the  king's  son 
in  law :  and  the  days  were  not 
expired. 

27  Wherefore  Da'vid  arose  and 
went,  he  and  his  men,  and  slew 
of  the  Phi-Hs'tines.  two  hundred 
men ;  and  Da'vid  brought  their 
foreskins,  and  they  gave  them 
in  full  tale  to  the  king,  that  he 
might  be  the  king's  son  in  law. 
And  Saul  gave  him  Mi'chal  his 
daughter  to  wife. 

28  And  Saul  saw  and  knew 
that  the  Lord  was  with  Da'vid, 
and  that  Mi'chal  Saul's  daugh- 
ter loved  him. 

29  And  Saul  was  yet  the  more 
afraid  of  Da'vid;  and  Saul 
became  Da'vid's  enemy  contin- 
ually. 

30  Then  the  princes  of  the 
Phl-lis'tinea  went  forth:  and  it 
came  to  pass,  after  they  went 
forth,  that  Da'vid  behaved  him- 
self more  wisely  than  all  the 
servants  of  Saul;  so  that  his 
name  was  much  set  by.

his  servants,  that  they  should 
kill  DS'vid. 

2  But  Jdn'a-than  Saul's  son 
delighted  much  in  Da'vid:  and 
J5n'a-than  told  Da'vid,  saying, 
Saul  my  father  seeketh  to  kill 
thee :  now  therefore,  I  pray 
thee,  take  heed  to  thyself  un- 
til the  morning,  and  abide  in  a 
secret  place,  and  hide  thyself : 

3  And  I  will  go  out  and  stand 
beside  my  father  in  the  field 
where  thou  art,  and  I  will  com- 
mune with  my  father  of  thee ; 
and  what  I  see,  that  I  will  tell 
thee. 

4  And  Jdn'a-than  spake  good 
of  Da'vid  unto  Saul  his  father, 
and  said  unto  him,  Let  not  the 
kinp  sin  against  his  servant, 
against  Da'vid ;  because  he  hath 
not  sinned  against  thee,  and 
because  his  works  have  been 
to  thee-ward  very  good: 

5  For  he  did  put  his  life  in  his 
hand,  and  slew  the  PhMIs'tine, 
and  the  Lord  wrought  a  great 
salvation  for  all  Isra-el:  thou 
sawest  it,  and  didst  rejoice: 
wherefore  then  wilt  thou  sin 
against  innocent  blood,  to  slay 
Da'vid  without  a  cause? 

6  And  Saul  hearkened  unto 
the  voice  of  Jdn'a-than:  and 
Saul  sware,  As  the  Lord  liv- 
eth,  he  shall  not  be  slain. 

7  And  Jdn'a-than  called  DS'- 
vid,  and  Jdn'a-than  shewed  him 
all  those  things.  And  JSn'a- 
than  brought  DS'vid  to  Saul, 
and  he  was  in  his  presence,  as 
in  times  past 

8  HAnd  there  was  war  again 
and  Da'vid  went  out,  and 
fought  with  the  PH-lIs'tines, 
and  slew  them  with  a  great 
slaughter;  and  they  fled  from 
him. 

9  And  the  evil  spirit  from  the 
Lord  was  upon  Saul,  as  he  sat 
in  his  house  with  his  javelin  in 
his  hand:  and  DS'vid  played 
with  his  hand. 

10  And  Saul  sought  to  smite 
DS'vid  even  to  the  wall  with 
the  Javelin;  but  he  slipped 
away  out  of  Saul's  presence, 
and  he  smote  the  javelin  into 
the  wall :  and  Da'vid  fled,  and 
escaped  that  night 

IX  Saul  also  sent  messengers 
unto  DS'vid's  house,  to  watch 
him,  and  to  slay  him  in  the 
morning:  and  Mi'chal  Da'vid's 
wife  told  him,  saying,  If  thou 
save  not  thy  life  to  night,  to 
morrow  thou  shalt  be  slam. 

12  So  Mi'chal  let  DS'vid  down 
through  a  window:  and  he 
went  and  fled,  and  escaped. 

13  And  Mi'chal  took  an  image. 


and  laid  it  in  the  bed,  and  put 
a  pillow  of  goats'  hair  for  his 
bolster,  and  covered  it  with  a 
cloth. 

14  And  when  Saul  sent  mes- 
sengers to  take  Da'vid,  she  said, 
He  ts  sick. 

15  And  Saul  sent  the  messen- 
gers again  to  see  Dfi'vid,  say- 
ing; Bring  him  up  to  me  in  the 
bed,  that  I  may  slay  him. 

16  And  when  the  messengers 
were  come  in,  behold,  there 
was  an  image  in  the  bed,  with 
a  pillow  of  goats'  hair  for  his 
bolster. 

17  And  Saul  said  unto  Mi'- 
chal, Why  hast  thou  deceived 
me  so,  and  sent  away  mine 
enemy,  that  he  is  escaped? 
And  Mi'chal  answered  Saul,  He 
said  unto  me,  Let  me  go ;  why 
should  I  kill  thee? 

18  IT  So  DS'vid  fled,  and  es- 
caped, and  came  to  SSm'u-el 
to  Ra'mah,  and  told  him  all 
that  Saul  had  done  to  him.  And 
he  and  SSm'u-el  went  and  dwelt 
in  NS'ioth. 

19  And  it  was  told  Saul,  say- 
ing, Behold,  DS'vid  is  at  NS'- 
ioth in  Ra'mah. 

20  And  Saul  sent  messengers 
to  take  DS'vid :  and  when  they 
saw  the  company  of  the  proph- 
ets prophesying,  and  SSm'u- 
el  standing  as  appointed  over 
them,  the  Spirit  of  God  was  up- 
on the  messengers  of  Saul,  and 
they  also  prophesied. 

21  And  when  it  was  told  Saul, 
he  sent  other  messengers,  and 
they  prophesied  likewise.  And 
Saul  sent  messengers  again  the 
third  time,  and  they  prophesied 
also. 

22  Then  went  he  also  to  Ra'- 
mah, and  came  to  a  great  well 
that  is  in  Se'chu :  andhe  asked 
and  said,  Where  are  SSm'u-el 
and  Da'vid  ?  And  one  said,  Be- 
hold, they  be  at  NS'ioth  in  Ra'- 
mah. 

23  And  he  went  thither  to 
NS'ioth  in  Ra'mah:  and  the 
Spirit  of  God  was  upon  him  al- 
so, and  he  went  on,  and  proph- 
esied, until  he  came  to  NS'ioth 
in  Ra'mah. 

24  And  he  stripped  off  his 
clothes  also,  and  prophesied  be- 
fore SSm'u-el  in  like  manner, 
and  lay  down  naked  all  that 
day  and  all  that  night  Where- 
fore they  say.  Is  Saul  also 
among  the  prophets?

AND  Dfi'vid  fled  from  Nfi'- 
ioth  in  Rfi'mah,  and  came 
and  said  before  Jdn'a-than, 
What  have  I  done?  what  is 
mine  iniquity?  and  what  is 
my  sin  before  thy  father,  that 
he  seeketh  my  life? 

2  And  he  said  unto  him,  God 
forbid ;  thou  shalt  not  die :  be- 
hold, my  father  will  do  nothing 
either  great  or  small,  but  that 
he  will  shew  it  me:  and  why 
should  my  father  hide  this 
thing  from  me?  it  is  not  so. 

3  And  Dfi'vid  sware  moreover, 
and  said,  Thy  father  certainly 
knoweth  that  I  have  found 
grace  in  thine  eyes;  and  he 
saith,  Let  not  Jdn'a-than  know 
this,  lest  he  be  grieved:  but 
truly  as  the  Lord  liveth,  and 
as  thy  soul  liveth,  there  is  but 
a  step  between  me  and  death. 

4  Then  said  Jdn'a-than  unto 
Dfi'vid,  Whatsoever  thy  soul  de- 
sireth,  I  will  even  do  it  for  thee. 

5  And  Dfi'vid  said  unto  Jdn'a- 
than,  Behold,  to  morrow  is  the 
new  moon,  and  I  should  not  fail 
to  sit  with  the  king  at  meat: 
but  let  me  go,  that  I  may  hide 
myself  in  the  field  unto  the 
third  day  at  even. 

6  If  thy  father  at  all  miss  me, 
then  say,  Dfi'vid  earnestly  asked 
leave  of  me  that  he  might  run 
to  Beth'-lS-hem  his  city:  for 
there  is  a  yearly  sacrifice  there 
for  all  the  family. 

7  If  he  say  thus,  It  is  well ; 
thy  servant  shall  have  peace : 
but  if  he  be  very  wroth,  then 
be  sure  that  evil  is  determined 
by  him. 

8  Therefore  thou  shalt  deal 
kindly  with  thy  servant;  for 
thou  hast  brought  thy  servant 
into  a  covenant  of  the  Lord 
with  thee :  notwithstanding,  if 
there  be  in  me  iniquity,  slay  me 
thyself ;  for  why  shouldest  thou 
bring  me  to  thy  father? 

9  And  Jdn'a-than  said,  Far  be 
it  from  thee :  for  if  I  knew  cer- 
tainly that  evil  were  determined 
by  my  father  to  come  upon  thee, 
then  would  not  I  tell  it  thee? 

10  Then  said  Dfi'vid  to  Jdn'- 
a-than, Who  shall  tell  me?  or 
what  if  thy  father  answer  thee 
roughly?  * 

11  And  J5n'a-than  said  unto 
Da'vid,  Come,  and  let  us  go  out 
into  the  field.  And  they  went 
out  both  of  them  into  the  field. 

12  And  Jdn'a-than  said  unto 
Dfi'vid,  0  Lord  God  of  Is/ra-el, 
when  I  have  sounded  my  father 
about  to  morrow  any  time,  or 
the  third  day,  and,  behold,  if 
there  be  good  toward  Dfi'vid, 


and  I  then  send  not  unto  thee, 
and  shew  it  thee ; 

13  The  Lord  do  so  and  much 
more  to  Jdn'a-than:  but  if  it 
please  my  father  to  do  thee 
evil,  then  I  will  shew  it  thee, 
and  send  thee  away,  that  thou 
mayest  go  in  peace:  and  the 
Lord  be  with  thee,  as  he  hath 
been  with  my  father. 

14  And  thou  shalt  not  only 
while  yet  I  live  shew  me  the 
kindness  of  the  Lord,  that  I 
die  not: 

15  But  also  thou  shalt  not  cut 
off  thy  kindness  from  my  house 
for  ever:  no-,  not  when  the 
Lord  hath  cut  off  the  enemies 
of  Dfi'vid  every  one  from  the 
face  of  the  earth. 

16  So  J5n'a-than  made  a  cove- 
nant with  the  house  of  Dfi'vid, 
saying,  Let  the  Lord  even  re- 
quire tt  at  the  hand  of  Dfi'vid's 
enemies. 

17  And  Jdn'a-than  caused  Dfi'- 
vid to  swear  again,  because  he 
loved  him :  for  he  loved  him  as 
he  loved  his  own  soul. 

18  Then  Jdn'a-than  said  to 
Dfi'vid,  To  morrow  is  the  new 
moon :  and  thou  shalt  be  missed, 
because  thy  seat  will  be  empty. 

19  And  when  thou  hast  stayed 
three  days,  then  thou  shalt  go 
down  quickly,  and  come  to  the 
place  where  thou  didst  hide  thy- 
self when  the  business  was  in 
hand,  and  shalt  remain  by  the 
stone  fi'zel. 

20  And  I  will  shoot  three  ar- 
rows on  the  side  thereof,  as 
though  I  shot  at  a  mark. 

21  And,  behold,  I  will  send  a 
lad,  saying,  Go,  find  out  the  ar- 
rows. If  I  expressly  say  unto 
the  lad,  Behold,  the  arrows  are 
on  this  side  of  thee,  take  them; 
then  come  thou:  for  there  is 
peace  to  thee,  and  no  hurt ;  as 
the  Lord  liveth. 

22  But  if  I  say  thus  unto  the 
young  man,  Behold,  the  arrows 
are  beyond  thee ;  go  thy  way : 
for  the  Lord  hath  sent  thee 
away. 

23  And  as  touching  the  mat- 
ter which  thou  and  I  have  spo- 
ken of,  behold,  the  Lord  be  be- 
tween thee  and  me  for  ever. 

24  f  So  Dfi'vid  hid  himself  in 
the  field:  and  when  the  new 
moon  was  come,  the  king  sat 
him  down  to  eat  meat. 

25  And  the  king  sat  upon  his 
seat,  as  at  other  times,  even 
upon  a  seat  by  the  wall :  and 
Jdn'a-than  arose,  and  Ab'ner 
sat  by  Saul's  side,  and  Dfi'vid's 
place  was  empty. 

26  Nevertheless    Saul    spake

not  any  thing  that  day :  for  he 
thought,  Something  hath  befall- 
en him,  he  is  not  clean;  surely 
he  is  not  clean. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  which  was  the  second 
day  of  the  month,  that  Dft'vid's 
place  was  empty :  and  Saul  said 
unto  J5n'a-than  his  son,  Where- 
fore cometh  not  the  son  of  Jes'se 
to  meat,  neither  yesterday,  nor 
today? 

28  And  J5n'a-than  answered 
Saul,  Da'vid  earnestly  asked 
leave  of  me  to  go  to  feth'-l&- 
hem: 

29  And  he  said,  Let  me  go,  I 
pray  thee;  for  our  family  hath 
a  sacrifice  in  the  city ;  and  my 
brother,  he  hath  commanded  me 
to  be  there :  and  now,  if  I  have 
found  favour  in  thine  eyes,  let 
me  get  away,  I  pray  thee,  and 
see  my  brethren.  Therefore  he 
cometh  not  unto  the  king's  ta- 
ble. 

30  Then  Saul's  anger  was  kin- 
dled against  Jdn'a-than,  and  he 
said  unto  him,  Thou  son  of  the 
perverse  rebellious  woman,  do 
not  I  know  that  thou  hast  chos- 
en the  son  of  Jes'se  to  thine  own 
confusion,  and  unto  the  confu- 
sion of  thy  mother's  nakedness  ? 

31  For  as  long  as  the  son  of 
Jes'se  liveth  upon  the  ground, 
thou  shalt  not  be  established, 
nor  thy  kingdom.  Wherefore 
now  send  and  fetch  him  unto 
me,  for  he  shall  surely  die. 

32  And  Jdn'a-than  answered 
Saul  his  father,  and  said  unto 
him,  Wherefore  shall  he  be 
slain?  what  hath  he  done? 

33  And  Saul  cast  a  javelin  at 
him  to  smite  him:  whereby 
Jdn'a-than  knew  that  it  was  de- 
termined of  his  father  to  slay 
Da'vid. 

34  So  Jdn'a-than  arose  from 
the  table  in  fierce  anger,  and  did 
eat  no  meat  the  second  day  of 
the  month :  for  he  was  grieved 
for  Da'vid,  because  his  father 
had  done  him  shame. 

35  IT  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  that  Jdn'a-than  went 
out  into  the  field  at  the  time  ap- 
pointed with  Da'vid,  and  a  little 
lad  with  him. 

36  And  he  said  unto  his  lad, 
Run,  find  out  now  the  arrows 
which  I  shoot.  And  as  the  lad 
ran,  he  shot  an  arrow  beyond 
him. 

37  And  when  the  lad  was  come 
to  the  place  of  the  arrow  which 
J5n'a-than  had  shot,  Jdn'a-than 
cried  after  the  lad,  and  said,  Is 
not  the  arrow  beyond  thee? 

38  And  Jdn'a-than  cried  after 


the  lad,  Blake  speed,  haste,  stay 
not  And  Jdn'a-than's  lad  gath- 
ered up  the  arrows,  and  came  to 
his  master. 

39  But  the  lad  knew  not  any- 
thing :  only  Jdn'a-than  and  Da'- 
vid knew  the  matter. 

40  And  Jdn'a-than  gave  his  ar- 
tillery unto  his  lad,  and  said  un- 
to him,  Go,  carry  them  to  the 
city. 

41  HAnd  as  soon  as  the  lad 
was  gone,  Da'vid  arose  out  of  a 
place  toward  the  south,  and  fell 
on  his  face  to  the  ground,  and 
bowed  himself  three  times :  and 
they  kissed  one  another,  and 
wept  one  with  another,  until 
Da'vid  exceeded. 

42  And  Jdn'a-than  said  to  Da' 
vid,  Go  in  peace,  forasmuch  as 
we  have  sworn  both  of  us  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  saying,  The 
Lord  be  between  me  and  thee, 
and  between  my  seed  and  thy 
seed  for  ever.  And  he  arose  and 
departed :  and  Jdn'a-than  went 
into  the  city. 

CHAPTER  21 

David,  at  Nob,  takes  hallowed  bread : 

and  Goliath's  sword :  10  at  Goth  he 

feigns  himself  mad. 

THEN  came  Da'vid  to  Ndb  to 
A-hlm'e-ldch  the  priest :  and 
A-him'e-lech  was  afraid  at  the 
meeting  of  Da'vid,  and  said  un- 
to him,  Why  art  thou  alone, 
and  no  man  with  thee  ? 

2  And  Da'vid  said  unto  A-hmV 
e-ldch  the  priest,  The  king  hath 
commanded  me  a  business,  and 
hath  said  unto  me,  Let  no  man 
know  any  thing  of  the  business 
whereabout  I  send  thee,  and 
what  I  have  commanded  thee 
and  I  have  appointed  my  serv- 
ants to  such  and  such  a  place. 

3  Now  therefore  what  is  under 
thine  hand  ?  give  me  five  loaves 
of  bread  in  mine  hand,  or  what 
there  is  present. 

4  And  the  priest  answered  Da'- 
vid, and  said,  There  is  no  com 
mon  bread  under  mine  hand, 
but  there  is  hallowed  bread ;  if 
the  young  men  have  kept  them 
selves  at  least  from  women. 

5  And  Da'vid  answered  the 
priest,  and  said  unto  him,  Of  a 
truth  women  have  been  kept 
from  us  about  these  three  days, 
since  I  came  out,  and  the  ves- 
sels of  the  young  men  are  holy, 
and  the  bread  %s  in  a  manner 
common,  yea,  though  it  were 
sanctified  this  day  in  the  vessel. 

6  So  the  priest  gave  him  hal- 
lowed bread:  for  there  was  no 
bread  there  but  the  shewbread, 
that  was  taken  from  before  the 
Lord,  to  put  hot  bread  in  the

day  when  it  was  taken  away. 

7  Now  a  certain  man  of  the 
servants  of  Saul  was  there  that 
day,  detained  before  the  Lord; 
and  his  name  was  Dd'eg,  an 
B'dom-ite,  the  chiefest  of  the 
herdmen  that  belonged  to  Saul 

8  And  Da'vid  said  unto  A-him'» 
eJech,  And  is  there  not  here  un- 
der thine  hand  spear  or  sword? 
for  I  have  neither  brought  my 
sword  nor  my  weapons  with  me, 
because  the  king's  business  re- 
quired haste. 

9  And  the  priest  said,  The 
award  of  Go-li'ath  the  PhWIs^ 
tine,  whom  thou  slowest  in  the 
valley  of  Blah,  behold,  it  is 
here  wrapped  in  a  cloth  behind 
the  ephod:  if  thou  wilt  take 
that,  take  it:  for  there  is  no 
other  save  that  here.  And  Da'- 
vid said,  There  is  none  like 
that;  give  it  me.   . 

10  HAnd  Da'vid  arose,  and  fled 
that  day  for  fear  of  Saul,  and 
went  to  A'chish  the  king  of 
Gath. 

U  And  theservants  of  A'chish 
said  unto  him*  Is  not  this  Dfi'- 
vid  the  king  of  the  land?  did 
they  not  sing  one  to  another 
of  him  in  dances,  saying,  Saul 
hath  slain  iris  thousands,  and 
Da'vid  his  ten  thousands? 

12  And  Da'vid  laid  up  these 
words  in  his  heart,  and  was 
sore  afraid  of  A'chish  the  king 
of  Gath. 

13  And  he  changed  his  behav- 
iour before  them,  and  feigned 
himself  mad  in  their  hands,  and 
scrabbled  on  the  doors  of  the 
gate,  and  let  his  spittle  fall 
down  upon  his  beard.  , 

14  Then  said  A'chish  unto  his 
servants,  Le>  ye  see  the  man  is 
mad :  wherefore  then  have  ye 
brought  him  to  me  ? 

15  Have  I  need  of  mad  men, 
that  ye  have  brought  this  fel- 
low to  play  the  mad  man  in 
my  presence?  shall  this  fellow 
come  into  my  house? 

CHAPTER  22 

David's  Mend*  rssort  to  him  at 
Adullam.  9  Doeg  accuses  Ahims- 
lech.  17  Saul  commands  to  kill  the 
priests.  20  Abiathar  escapes,  and 
JUss  after  David. 

DA'VID  therefore  departed 
thence,  and  escaped  to  the 
cave  A-duTlam:  and  when  his 
brethren  land  all  his  father's 
house  heard  ft,  they  went  down 
thither  to  htm.  ■  . 
2  And  every  one  that  was 
in  distress,  and  every  one  that 


he  became  a  captain  over  them.: 
and  there  were  with  him  about 
four  hundred  men, 

3  IT  And  Dft'vid  went  thence  to 
Ifiz'pen  of  Md'ab:  and  he  said 
unto  the  king  of  M6'ab,  Let  my 
father  and  my  mother,  1  pray 
thee,  come  forth,  and  be  with 
you,  till  I  know  what  God  will 
do  for  me* 

4  And  he  brought  them  be- 
fore the  king  of  MS'abl  and 
they  dwelt  with  him  all  the 
while  that  Dft'vid  was  in  the 
hold. 

5  ITAnd  the  prophet  G8d  said 
unto  Da'vid,  Abide  not  in  the 
hold;  depart,  and  get  thee  into 
the  land  of  Ju'dah.  Then  Da'- 
vid departed,  and  came  into  the 
forest  of  Ha'reth. 

6  IT  When  Saul  heard  that  Da'- 
vid was  discovered,  and  the 
men  that  were  with  him,  (now 
Saul  abode  in  Gib'e-ah  under 
a  tree  in  Ra'mah,  having  his 
spear  in  his  hand,  and  all  his 
servants  were  standing  about 
him;) 

7  Then  Saul  said  unto  his 
servants  that  stood  about  him, 
Hear  now,  ye  Ben'ja-mitea;  will 
the  son  of  Jes'se  give  every  one 
of  you  fields  and  vineyards, 
ana  make  you  all  captains  of 
thousands,  and  captains  of  nun 
dreds;    • 

8  That  all  of  you  have  con 
spired  against  me,  and  there  is 
none  that  sheweth  me  that  my 
son  hath  made  a  league  with 
the  son  of  Jes'se,  and  there  is 
none  of  you  that  is  sorry  for 
me,  or  sheweth  unto  me  thai 
my.  son  hath  stirred  up  my 
servant  against  me,  to  lie  in 
wait,  as  at  this  day? 

9  UThen  answered  DS'eg  the 
E'dom-ite,  which  was  set  over 
the  servants  of  Saul,  and  said, 
I  saw  the  son  of  Jes'se  coming 
to  Nod,  to  A-hIm'e-18ch  the  son 
of  A-hi'tub. 

10  And  he  enquired :  of  the 
Lord  for  him,  and  gave  him 
victuals,  «nd  gave  hirt  the 
sword  of  Go-H'ath  the  PhUIs'- 
tme. 

11  IT  Then  the  king  sent  to 
call  A-hlm'e-lech  the  priest,  the 
son  of  A-hi'tub,  and  all  his  fa- 
ther's house,  the  priests  that 
were  in  Nob:  and  they  came 
all  of  them  to  the  kins. 

12  And  Saul  said,  Hear  now, 
thou  son  of  A-hi'tub.  And  he 
answered,  Here  I  am,  my  lord. 

13  And  Saul  said  unto  him, 
was  in  debt,  and  every  one  i  Why  have  ye  conspired  against 
that  was  discontented',  gath- 1  me,  thou  and  the  son*  of  Jes'se, 
ered  themselves  unto  him;  and  I  in  that  thou  hast  given  him

bread,  and  a  sword,  and  hast! tines  fight  against  Keilah,  and 


enquired  of  God  for  him,  that 
he  should  rise  against  me,  to 
lie  in  wait,  as  at  this  day?  ' 

14  Then  A-hlm'e-tech  an- 
swered the  king,  and  said,  And 
who  is  80  faithful  among  all 
thy  servants  as  Dft'vid,  which  is 
the  king's  son  in  law,  and  goeth 
at  thy  bidding,  and  is  honour- 
able in  thine  house  ? 

15  Did  I  then*  begin  to  enquire 
of  God  for  him?  be  it  far  from 
me:  let  not  the  king  impute 
any  thing  unto  his  servant, 
nor  to  alt  the  house  of  my  fa- 
ther: for  thy  servant  knew 
nothing  of  all  this,  less  or 
more. 

16  And  the  king  said,  Thou 
shalt  surely  die,  A-him'e-lech, 
thou,  and  all  thy  father's  hduse. 

17  And  the  king  said  unto  the 
footmen  that  stood  about  him, 
Turn,  and  slay  the  priests  of 
the  Lord!  because  their  hand 
also  is  with  Da'vid,  and  because 
they  knew  when  he  fled,  and 
did  not  shew  it  to  me.  But  the 
servants  of  the  king  would  not 
put  forth  their  hand  to  fail  up- 
on the  priests  of  the  Lord. 

18  And  the  king  said  to  D5'eg, 
Turn  thou,  and  fall  upon  the 
priests.  And  DCee  the  fi'dom- 
ite  turned,  and  he  fell  upon  the 
priests,  and  slew  on  that  day 
fourscore  and  five  persons  that 
did  wear  a  linen  ephod. 

19  And  N6b,  the  city  of  the 
priests,  smote  he  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword,  both  men  and 
women,  children  and  sucklings, 
and  oxen,  and  asses,  and  sheep, 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword. 

20  11  And  one  of  the  sons  of 
A-hlm'e-lech  the  son  of  A-hi'tub, 
named  A-bi'a-thar,  escaped,  and 
fled  after  Dft'vid. 

21  And  A-bi'a-thar  shewed  Dft'- 
vid  that  Saul  had  slain  the 
Lord's  priests. 

22  And  Da'vid  said  unto  A-bi - 
a-thar,  I  knew  it  that  day,  when 
DO'eg  the  E'dom-ite  was  there, 
that  he  would  surely  tell  Saul : 
I  have  occasioned  the  death  of 
all  the  persons  of  thy  father's 
house. 

23  Abide  thou  with  me,  fear 
not:  for  he  that  seeketh  my 
life  seeketh  thy  life:  but  with 
me  thou  shalt  be  in  safeguard. 

CHAPTER  23 

David  rescue*  Keilah :  7  Saul'*  tam- 
ing, and  treachery  of  the  Keilites : 
13  David  escapee  to  Zipk  :  19  Saul 
pureuee  him.  22  He  dwells  at  En- 
gedu 

THEN  they  told  Da'vid,  say- 
ing,  Behold,,  the   Phl-lis'- 


they  rob  the  threshingfloors. 

2  Therefore  Dft'vid  enquired 
of  the  Lord,  saying*  Shall  I-  go 
and  smite  these  Phi-lis'tinei? 
And  the  Lord  said  unto  Da'vid, 
Go,  and  enrite  the  PhUfs'tinea, 
and  save  Keilah. 

3  And  Da'vid's  men  said  unto 
him*  Behold,  we  be  afraid  here 
hi  Ju'dah :  how  much  more  then 
if  we  come  to  Keilah  aj_ 
the  armies  of  the  PhMis'tines? 

4  Then  Da'vid  enquired  of  the 
Lord  yet  again.  And  the  Lord 
answered  him  and  said,  Arise, 
go  down  to  Kenan;  for  I  will 
deliver  the  PhHis'tines.  into 
thine  hand. 

5  So  Dft'vid  and  his  men  went 
to  Keilah,  and  fought  with  the 
Phl-Hsllnes,  and  brought  away 
their  cattle,  and  smote  them 
with  a  great  slaughter.  So  Dft'- 
vid saved  the  inhabitants  of 
KeTlah. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
A-bi'a-thar  the  son  of  A-blm'e- 
Iecfc  fled  to  Dft'vid  to  Kfcilah, 
that  he  came  down  with  an 
ephod  in  his  hand. 

7  UAnd  it  was  told  Saul  that 
Dft'vid  was  come  to  Keilah. 
And  Saul  said,  God  hath  deliv- 
ered him  into  mine  hand;  for 
he  is  shut  in,  by  entering  into 
a  town  that  hath  gates  and  bars. 

8  And  Saul  called  all  the  peo- 
ple together  to  war,  to  go  down 
to  KeTlah,  to  besiege  Dft'vid 
and  his  men. 

9  And  Dft'vid  knew  that  Saul 
aecretly  practised'  mischief 
against  him;  and  he  said  to 
A-bi'a-thar  the  priest,'  Bring 
hither  the  ephod. 

10  Then  said  Dft'vid,  0  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  thy  servant  hath 
certainly  heard  that  S#ul  seek* 
eth  to  come  to  Keilah,  to  de- 
stroy the  city  for  my  sake. 

11  Will  the  men  of  Keilah  de- 
liver me  up  into  his  hand?  will 
Saul  come  down,  as  thy  servant 
hath  heard  ?  0  Lorp  God  of  Is/* 
ra-el,  I  beseech  thee*,  tell  thy 
servant'  And  the  Lord  said, 
He  will,  come  down. 

12  Then  said  Da'vid,  Will  the 
men  of  Keilah  deliver  me  and 
my  men  into  the  handtvf  Sful? 
And  the  Lord  said,  They  will 
deliver  thee  up. 

13  Then- Dft'vid  and  his  men, 
which  were  about  six  hundred, 
arose  and  departed  out  of  Ket' 
Iah,  and  went  whithersoever 
they  could  go.  And  it  was  told 
Saul  that  Dft'vid'  was  escaped 
from  Keilah;  and  he  forbore 
to  go  forth.

14  And  Da'vid  abode  in  the 
wilderness  in  strong  holds,  and 
remained  in  a  mountain  in  the 
wilderness  of  Ziph.  And  Saul 
sought  him  every  day,  but  God 
delivered  him  not  into  his  hand. 

15  And  Da'vid  saw  that  Saul 
was  come  out  to  seek  his  life : 
and  Da'vid  was  in  the  wilder- 
ness of  Ziph  in  a  wood. 

16  IfAnd  Jfin'a-than  Saul's  son 
arose,  and  went  to  Da'vid  into 
the  wood,  and  strengthened  his 
hand  in  God. 

17  And  he  said  unto  him, 
Fear  not :  for  the  hand  of  Saul 
my  father  shall  not  find  thee ; 
and  thou  shalt  be  king  over  If' 
ra-el,  and  I  shall  be  next  unto 
thee;  and  that  also  Saul  my 
father  knoweth. 

18  And  they  two  made  a  cove- 
nant before  the  Lord  :  and  Di' 
vid  abode  in  the  wood,  and  J5n'- 
a-than  went  to  his  house. 

19  HThen  came  up  the  Ziph'- 
I  tea  to  Saul  to  GIb'&ah,  saying, 
Doth  not  David  hide  himself 
with  us  in  strong  holds  in  the 
wood,  in  the  hill  of  Hachl-lah, 
which  is  on  the  south  of  Jesh'i- 
mdn? 

20  Now  therefore,  O  king, 
come  down  according  to  all 
the  desire  of  thy  soul  to  come 
down;  and  our  part  shall  be 
to-  deliver  him  into  the  king's 
hand. 

21  And  Saul  said.  Blessed  be  ye 
of  the  Lord  ;  for  ye  have  com- 
passion on  me. 

22  Go,  I  pray  you,  prepare 
yet,  and  know  and  see  his  place 
where  his  haunt  is,  and  who 
hath  seen  him  there:  for  it  is 
told  me  that  he  dealeth  very 
subtilly. 

23  See  therefore,  and  take 
knowledge  of  all  the  lurking 
places  where  he  hideth  him- 
self, and  come  ye  again  to  me 
with  the  certainty,  and  I  will  go 
with  you :  and  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  if  he  be  in  the  land,  that  I 
will  search  him  out  throughout 
all  the  thousands  of  Ju'dah. 

24  And  they  arose,  and  went 
to  Ziph  before  Saul :  but  Di'vid 
and  his  men  were  in  the  wil- 
derness of  Mft'on,  in  the  plain 
on  the  south  of  Jesh'i-mdn. 

25  Saul  also  and  his  men  went 
to  seek  him.  And  they  told 
Da' vid:  wherefore  he  came 
down  into  a  rock,  and  abode  in 
the  wilderness  of  Mft'on.  And 
when  Saul  heard  that,  he  pur- 
sued after  Da'vid  in  the  wilder- 
ness of  Mft'on. 

26  And  Saul  went  on  this 
side  of  the  mountain,  and  Da'- 


vid and  his  men  on  that  side  of 
the  mountain :  and  Da'vid  made 
haste  to  get  away  for  fear  of 
Saul ;  for  Saul  and  his  men  com 
passed  Da'vid  and  his  men  round 
about  to  take  them. 

27  f  But  there  came  a  mes- 
senger unto  Soul,  saying.  Haste 
thee,  and  come ;  for  the tPhWis'- 
traea  have  invaded  the  land. 

28  Wherefore  Saul  returned 
from  pursuing  after  Da'vid,  and 
went  against  the  Phi-lis'tinea : 
therefore  they  called  that  place 
Sria-ham-mah-lg'koth. 

29  IfAnd  Da'vid  went  up  from 
thence,  and  dwelt  in  strong 
holds  at  £n-ge'di. 

*     CHAPTER  24 

David  in  a  cave  at  En-gedi  cuts  aff 
SauVe  skirt,  but  spare*  kis  life :  8 
he  urge*  thereby  hie  itnnocency. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Saul  was  returned  from 
following  the  PhMis'tines,  that 
it  was  told  him,  saying,  Behold, 
Da'vid  is  in  the  wilderness  of 
fin-ge'di. 

2  Then  Saul  took  three  thou- 
sand chosen  men  out  of  all  Is/- 
ra-el,  and  went  to  seek  Da'vid 
and  his  men  upon  the  rocks  of 
the  wild  goats. 

3  And  he  came  to  the  sheep- 
cotes  by  the  way,  where  was  a 
cave ;  and  Saul  went  in  to  cover 
his  feet:  and  Da'vid  and  his 
men  remained  in  the  sides  of 
the  cave. 

4  And  the  men  of  Da'vid  said 
unto  him,  Behold  the  day  of 
which  the  Lord  said  unto 
thee,  Behold,  I  will  deliver 
thine  enemy  into  thine  hand, 
that  thou  mayest  do  to  him  as 
it  shall  seem  good  unto  thee. 
Then  Da'vid  arose,  and  cut  off 
the  skirt  of  Saul's  robe  privily. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass  after- 
ward, that  Da'vid's  heart  smote 
him,  because  he  had  cut  off 
Saul's  skirt 

6  And  he  said  unto  his  men, 
The  Lord  forbid  that  I  should 
do  this  thing  unto  my  master, 
the  Lord's  anointed,  to  streteh 
forth  mine  hand  against  him, 
seeing  he  is  the  anointed  of  the 
Lord. 

7  So  Da'vid  stayed  his  serv- 
ants with  these  words,  and  suf- 
fered them  not  to  rise  against 
Saul.  But  Saul  rose  up  out  of 
the  cave,  and  went  on  his  way. 

8  If  Da'vid  also  arose  after- 
ward, and  went  out  of  the  cave, 
and  cried  after  Saul,  saying, 
My  lord  the  king.  And  when 
Saul  looked  behind  him,  Da'vid 
stooped  with  his  face  to  the 
earth,  and  bowed1  himself.

Wherefore  nearest  thou  men's

have  seen  how  that  the  'Lord

said,  I  will  not  put  forth  mine 
hand  against  my  lord ;  f  or  he  is 
the  Lord's  anointed. 

11  Moreover,  my  father,  see, 
yea,  see  the  skirt  of  thy  robe  in 
my  hand :  for  in  that  I  cut  off 
the  skirt  of  thy  robe,  and  killed 
thee  not,  know  thou  and  see 
that  there  is  neither  evil  nor 
transgression  in  mine  hand,  and 
I  have  not  sinned  against  thee ; 
yet  thou  huntest  my  soul  to 
take  it 

12  The  Lord  judge  between 
me  and  thee,  and  the  Lord 
avenge  me  of  thee:  but  mine 
hand  shall  not  be  upon  thee. 

13  As  saith  the  proverb  of  the 
ancients.  Wickedness  proceed- 
eth  from  the  wicked :  but  mine 
hand  shall  not  be  upon  thee. 

14  After  whom  is  the  king  of 
It'ra-el  come  out?  after  whom 
dost  thou  pursue?  after  a  dead 
dog,  after  a  flea. 

15  The  Lord  therefore  be 
judge,  and  judge  between  me 
and  thee,  and  see,  and  plead 
my  cause,  and  deliver  me  out 
of  thine  hand. 

16  fAnd  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Dft'vid  had  made  an  end  of 
speaking  these  words  unto  Saul, 
that  Saul  said,  Is  this  thy  voice, 
my  son  Dfi'vid?  And  Saul  lifted 
up  his  voice,  and  wept 

17  And  he  said  to  Dfi'vid,  Thou 
art  more  righteous  than  I :  for 
thou  hast  rewarded  me  good, 
whereas  I  have  rewarded  thee 
evil 

18  And  thou  hast  shewed  this 
day  how  that  thou  hast  dealt 
well  with  me:  forasmuch 
when  the  Lord  had  delivered 
me  into  thine  hand,  thou  kill 
edst  me  not 

19  For  if  a  man  find  his  enemy, 
will  he  let  him  go  well  away? 
wherefore  the  Lord  reward 
thee  good  for  that  thou  hast 
done  unto  me  this  day. 

20  And  now,  behold,  I  know 
well  that  thou  shalt  surely  be 
king,  and  that  the  kingdom  of 
Is/ra-el  shall  be  established  in 
thine  hand. 

21  Swear  now  therefore  unto 
me  by  the  Lord,  that  thou  wilt 
not  cut  off  my  seed  after  me, 
and  that  thou  wilt  not  destroy 


my  name  out  of  my  father's 
house. 

22  And  Dft'vid  aware  unto 
Saul.  And  Saul  went  home; 
but  Dft'vid  and  his  men  gat 
them  up  unto  the  hold. 

CHAPTER  25 

Sarmul  diss.  4  David's  mmage-  to 
Nabal,  10  whose  churlish  answer 
provokes  him.  14  Abigail  pacifies 
him.    M,  Nabal's  death. 

AND  S&m'u-el  died;  and  all 
the  Is/ra-el-ites  were  gath- 
ered together,  and  lamented 
him,  and  buried  him  in  his 
house  at  RA'mah.  And  Dft'vid 
arose,  and  went  down  to  the 
wilderness  of  Pft'ran. 

2  And  there  was  a  man  in 
Mft'on,  whose  possessions  were 
in  Cartnel;  and  the  man  was 
very  great,  and  he  had  three 
thousand  sheep,  and  a  thousand 
goats:  and  he  was  shearing 
his  sheep  in  Car'meL 

3  Now  the  name  of  the  man 
was  Nftlutl;  and  the  name  of 
his  wife  Abi-gail :  and  she  was 


a  woman  of  good  understand-  Pr.il.16,  Wise  Women- 


ing,  and  of  a  beautiful  counte- 
nance :  but  the  man  was  churl- 
ish and  evil  in  his  doings;  and 
he  was  of  the  house  of  Caleb. 

4  And  Dft'vid  heard  in  the 
wilderness  that  Natal  did  shear 
his  sheep. 

5  And  Dft'vid  sent  out  ten 
young  men,  and  Dft'vid  said 
unto  the  young  men;  Get  vou 
up  to  CaVmel,  and  go  to  Naiad, 
and  greet  him  in  my  name : 

6  And  thus  shall  ye  say  to  him 
that  liveth  in  prosperity,  Peace 
be  both  to  thee,  and  peace  be  to 
thine  house,  and  peace  be  unto 
all  that  thou  hast 

7  And  now  I  have  heard  that 
thou  hast  shearers:  now  thy 
shepherds  which  were  with  us, 
we  nurt  them  not  neither  was 
there  ought  missing  unto  them, 
all  the  while  they  were  in  Car'- 
meL 

8  Ask  thy  young  men,  and 
they  will  shew  thee.  Where- 
fore let  the  young  men  find 
favour  in  thine  eyes:  for  we 
come  in  a  good  day:  give, 
pray  thee,  whatsoever  cometh 
to  thine  hand  unto  thy  serv- 
ants, and  to  thy  son  Dft'vid. 

9  And  when  Dft'vid's  young: 
men  came, -they  spake  to  mtud 
according  to  aU  those  words  in 
the  name  of  Dft'vid,  and  ceased. 

10  And  NSl>al  answered  Da> 
vid's  servants,  and  said,  Who  is 
Dft'vid  ?  and  who  is  the  son  of 
JSs'se?  there  be  many  servants 
now  a  days  that  break  away 
every  man  from  his  master.

11  Shall  I  then  take  my  bread, 
and  my  water,  and  my  flesh 
that  I  have  killed  for  my  shear- 
ers, and  give  it  unto  men,  whom 
I  know  not  whence  they  be  f 

12  So  DiVid's  young  men 
turned  their  way,  and  went 
again,  and  came  and  told  him 
all  those  sayings. 

13  And  Da'vid  said  unto  his 
men,  Gird  ye  on  every  man  his 
sword.  And  they  girded  on 
every  man  his  sword ;  and  Da'- 
vid  also  girded  on  his  sword: 
and  there  went  up  after  Da'vid 
about  four  hundred  men;  and 
two  hundred  abode  by  the  stuff. 

14  HBut  one  of  the  young  men 
told  Abl-gail,  Nazal's  wife,  say- 
ing, Behold,  Da'vid  sent  mes- 
sengers out  of  the  wilderness 
to  salute  our  master;  and  he 
railed  on  them. 

15  But  the  men  were  very 
good  unto  us,  and  we  were  not 
hurt;  neither  missed  we  any 
thing,  as  long  as  we  were  con- 
versant with  them*  when  we 
were  in  the  fields: 

16  They  were  a  wall  unto  us 
both  by  night  and  day,  all  the 
while  we  were  with  them  keep- 
ing the  sheep. 

17  Now  therefore  know  and 
consider  what  thou  wilt  do;  for 
evil  is  determined  against  our 
master,  and  against  all  his 
household:  for  he  is  such  a 
son  of  Beli-al,  that  a  man  can- 
not speak  to  him. 

18  Then  Abl-gail  made  haste, 
and  took  two  hundred  loaves, 
and  two  bottles  of  wine,  and 
five  sheep  ready  dressed,  and 
five  measures  of  parched  corn, 
and  an  hundred  clusters  of  rai- 
sins, and  two  hundred  cakes  of 
figs,  and  laid  them  on  asses. 

19  And  she  said  unto  her  serv- 
ants, Go  on  before  me ;  behold, 
I  come  after  you.  But  she  told 
not  her  husband  Nalrnl. 

20  And  it  was  so,  as  she  rode 
on  the  ass,  that  she  came  down 
by  the  covert  of  the  hill,  and, 
behold,  Dft'vid   and   his   men 

e  down  against  her;   and 
she  met  them. 

21  Now  Da'vid  had  said,  Sure- 
ly in  vain  have  I  kept  all  that 
this  fellow  hath  in  the  wilder- 
ness, so  that  nothing  was  missed 
of  all  that  pertained  unto  him : 
and  he  hath  requited  me  evil 
for  good. 

22  So  and  more  also  do  God 
unto  the  enemies  of  Da'vid,  if  I 
leave  of  all  that  pertain  to  him 
by  the  morning  light  any  that 
pisseth  against  the  wall. 

i  23  And   when   Abl-gail   saw 


Da'vid,  she  hasted,  and  lighted 
off  the  ass,  and  fell  before  Da'- 
vid on  her  face,  and  bowed  her- 
self to  the  ground, 

24  And  fell  at  his  feet,  and  said, 
Upon  me,  my  lord,  upon  me  let 
this  iniquity  be :  and  let  thine 
handmaid,  I  pray  thee,  speak  in 
thine  audience,  and  hear  the 
words  of  thint  handmaid. 

25  Let  not  my  lord,  I  pray 
thee,  regard  this  man  of  fell- 
al,  even  NaTwil :  for  as  his  name 
ia,  so  is  he ;  Nfi'bal  is  his  name, 
and  folly  is  with  him:  but  I 
thine  handmaid  saw  not  the 
young  men  of  my  lord,  whom 
thou  didst  send. 

26  Now  therefore,  my  lord,  as 
the  Lord  liveth,  and  as  thy 
soul  liveth,  seeing  the  Lord 
hath  withholden  thee  from 
coming  to  shed  blood,  and  from 
avenging  thyself  with  thine 
own  hand,  now  let  thine  ene- 
mies, and  they  that  seek  evil  to 
my  lord,  be  as  NaTjaL 

27  And  now  this  blessing 
which  thine  handmaid  hath 
brought  unto  my  lord,  let  it 
even  be  given  unto  the  young 
men  that  follow  my  lord. 

28  I  pray  thee,  forgive  the 
trespass  of  thine  handmaid :  for 
the  Lord  will  certainly  make 
my  lord  a  sure  house;  because 
my  lord  fighteth  the  battles  of 
the  Lord,  and  evil  hath  not 
been  found  in  thee  all  thy  days. 

29  Yet  a  man  is  risen  to  pur- 
sue thee,  and  to  seek  thy  soul : 
but  the  soul  of  my  lord  shall 
be  bound  in  the  bundle  of  life 
with  the  Lord  thy  God;  and 
the  souls  of  thine  enemies, 
them  shall  he  sling  out,  as  out 
of  the  middle  of  a  sling. 

30  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  the  Lord  shall  have  done 
to  my  lord  according  to  all  the 
good  that  he  hath  spoken  con- 
cerning thee,  and  shall  have  ap- 
pointed thee  ruler  over  lg'ra-el ; 

31  That  this  shall  be  no  grief 
unto  thee,  nor  offence  of  heart 
unto  my  lord,  either  that  thou 
hast  shed  blood  causeless,  or 
that  my  lord  hath  avenged  him- 
self :  but  when  the  Lord  shall 
have  dealt  well  with  my  lord, 
then  remember  thine  handmaid. 

32  t  And  Da'vid  said  to  Abl- 
gail,  Blessed  be  the  Lord  God 
of  Is/ra-el,  which  sent  thee  this 
day  to  meet  me : 

33  And  blessed  be  thy  advice, 
and  blessed  be  thou,  which  hast 
kept  me  this  day  from  coming 
to  shed  blood,  and  from  aveng- 
ing myself  with  mine  own  hand.

Lord  God  of  Ig'ra-el  liveth, 
which  hath  kept  me  back  from 
hurting  thee,  except  thou  hadst 
hasted  and  come  to  meet  me, 
surely  there  had  not  been  left 
unto  Nfi'bal  by  the  morning 
light  any  that  pisseth  against 
the  wall. 

35  So  Da'vid  received  of  her 
hand  that  which  she  had 
brought  him,  and  said  unto  her, 
Go  up  in  peace  to  thine  house ; 
see,  I  have  hearkened  to  thy 
voice,  and  have  accepted  thy 
person. 

36  If  And  Abl-gail  came  to  Nfi'- 
bal ;  and,  behold,  he  held  a  feast 
in  his  house,  like  the  feast  of  a 
king;  and  Nazal's  heart  was 
merry  within  him,  for  he  was 
very  drunken:  wherefore  she 
told  him  nothing,  less  or  more, 
until  the  morning  light. 

37  But  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  when  the  wine  w 
gone  out  of  Nfi'bal,  and  his  wife 
had  told  him  these  things,  that 
his  heart  died  within  him,  and 
he  became  as  a  stone. 

38  And  it  came  to  pass  about 
ten  days  after,  that  the  Lord 
smote  Nfi'bal,  that  he  died. 

39  And  when  Da'vid  heard 
that  Nfi'bal  was  dead,  he  said, 
Blessed  be  the  Lord,  that  hath 
pleaded  the  cause  of  my  re- 
proach from  the  hand  of  Nfi'bal, 
and  hath  kept  his  servant  from 
evil :  for  the  Lord  hath  return- 
ed the  wickedness  of  Nfi'bal  up- 
on his  own  head.  And  Da'vid 
sent  and  communed  with  Abi- 
gail, to  take  her  to  him  to  wife. 

40  And  when  the  servants  of 
Da'vid  were  come  to  Abl-gail 
to  Cfirtnel,  they  spake  unto  her, 
saying,  Da'vid  sent  us  unto  thee, 
to  take  thee  to  him  to  wife. 

41  And  she  arose,  and  bowed 
herself  on  her  face  to  the  earth, 
and  said,  Behold,  let  thine  hand- 
maid be  a  servant  to  wash  the 
feet  of  the  servants  of  my  lord. 

42  And  Abl-gail  hasted,  and 
arose,  and  rode  upon  an  ass, 
with  five  damsels  of  tier's  that 
went  after  her;  and  she  went 
after  the  messengers  of  Da'vid, 
and  became  his  wife. 

43  Da'vid  also  took  A-hln'o-ftm 
of  JfeVre-el ;  and  they  were  also 
both  of  them  his  wives. 

44  But  Saul  had  given  Mi'chal 
his  daughter,  Dfi'vid's  wife,  to 
Phal'ti  the  son  of  Lfi'ish,  which 
was  of  Gfillim. 

CHAPTER  26 

Saul  com**  to  the  hill  o/  HachUah 
against  David.  5  David  stays 
Abiskai  from  killing  Saul,  but 
takes  his  spear  and  cruse. 


AND  the  Ziphltes  came  unto 
Saul  to  Gib'e-ah,  saying, 
Doth  not  Dft'vid  hide  himself  in 
the  hill  of  Hfichl-lah,  which  is 
before  Jesh'i-mon? 

2  Then  Saul  arose,  and  went 
down  to  the  wilderness  of  ZIph, 
having  three  thousand  chosen 
men  of  ls/ra-el  with  him,  to  seek 
Dfi'vid  in  the  wilderness  of  ZIph. 

3  And  Saul  pitched  in  the  hill 
of  Hfich'i-lah,  which  is  before 
JSsh'i-m5n,  by  the  way.  But 
Dfi'vid  abode  in  the  wilderness, 
and  he  saw  that  Saul  came  after 
him  into  the  wilderness. 

4  Dfi'vid  therefore  sent  out 
spies,  and  understood  that  Saul 
was  come  in  very  deed. 

5  11  And  Dfi'vid  arose,  and  came 
to  the  place  where  Saul  had 
pitched:  and  Dfi'vid  beheld  the 
place  where  Saul  lay,  and  Ab'- 
ner  the  son  of  Ner,  the  captain 
of  his  host:  and  Saul  lay  in  the 
trench,  and  the  people  pitched 
round  about  him. 

6  Then  answered  Dfi'vid  and 
said  to  A-him'e-lech  the  HH'tite, 
and  to  A-blsh'a-i  the  son  of  Zfir- 
u-i'ah,  brother  to  Jo'fib,  saying, 
Who  will  go  down  with  me  to 
Saul  to  the  camp?  And  A-bish'- 
a-i  said,  I  will  go  down  with 
thee. 

7  So  Da'vid  and  A-blsh'a-i  came 
to  the  people  by  night:  and, 
behold,  Saul  lay  sleeping  within 
the  trench,  and  his  spear  stuck 
in  the  ground  at  his  bolster: 
but  Ab'ner  and  the  people  lay 
round  about  him. 

8  Then  said  A-bish'a-i  to  Dfi'- 
vid, God  hath  delivered  thine 
enemy  into  thine  hand  this 
day :  now  therefore  let  me  smite 
him,  I  prav  thee,  with  the  spear 
even  to  the  earth  at  once,  and 
I  will  not  smite  him  the  second 
time. 

9  And  Dfi'vid  said  to  A-bish'a-i, 
Destroy  him  not :  for  who  can 
stretch  forth  his  hand  against 
the  Lord's  anointed,  and  be 
guiltless? 

10  Dfi'vid  said  furthermore, 
As  the  Lord  liveth,  the  Lord 
shall  smite  him;  or  his  day 
shall  come  to  die;  or  he  shall 
descend  into  battle,  and  perish. 

11  The  Lord  forbid  that  I 
should  stretch  forth  mine  hand 
against  the  Lord's  anointed: 
but,  I  pray  thee,  take  thou  now 
the  spear  that  is  at  his  bolster, 
and  the  cruse  of  water,  and  let 
us  go. 

12  So  Dfi'vid  took  the  spear 
and  the  cruse  of  water  from 
Saul's  bolster;  and  they  gat 
them  away,  and  no  man  saw  it,

nor  knew  it,  neither  awaked 
for  they  were  all  asleep;  be- 
cause a  deep  sleep  from  the 
Lord  was  fallen  upon  them. 

13  When  Dft'vid  went  over  to 
the  other  side,  and  stood  on  the 
top  of  an  hill  afar  off ;  a  great 
space  being  between  them : 

14  And  Dft'vid  cried  to  the 
people,  and  to  Ab'ner  the  son 
of  Ner,  saying,  Answerest  thou 
not,  Ab'ner?  Then  Ab'n€r  an- 
swered and  said,  Who  art  thon 
that  criest  to  the  king? 

15  And  Da'vid  said  to  Ab'ner, 
Art  not  thou  a  valiant  man  ? 
and  who  is  like  to  thee  in  Is> 
ra-el  ?  wherefore  then  hast  thou 
not  kept  thy  lord  the  king?  for 
there  came  one  of  the  people  in 
to  destroy  the  king  thy  lord. 

16  This  thing  is  not  good  that 
thou  hast  done.  As  the  Lord 
liveth,  ye  are  worthy  to  die, 
because  ye  have  not  kept  your 
master,  the  Lord's  anointed. 
And  now  see  where  the  king's 

•ear  is,  and  the  cruse  of  water 
that  was  at  his  bolster. 

17  And  Saul  knew  D&'vid's 
voice,  and  said,  Is  this  thy 
voice,  my  son  Da'vid?  And 
Dft'vid  said,  It  is  my  voice,  my 
lord,  0  king. 

18  And  he  said,  Wherefore 
doth  my  lord  thus  pursue  after 
his  servant?  for  what  have  I 
done?  or  what  evil  is  in  mine 
hand?      ' 

19  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
let  my  lord  the  king  hear  the 
words  of  his  servant.  If  the 
Lord  have  stirred  thee  up 
against  me,  let  him  accept  an 
offering:  but  if  they  be  the 
children  of  men,  cursed  be  they 
before  the  Lord  ;  for  they  have 
driven  me  out  this  day  from 
abiding  in  the  inheritance  of 
the  Lord,  saying,  Go,  serve 
other  gods. 

20  Now  therefore,  let  not  my 
blood  fall  to  the  earth  before 
the  face  of  the  Lord  :  for  the 
king  of  ls/ra-el  is  come  out  to 
seek  a  flea,  as  when  one  doth 
hunt  a  partridge  in  the  moun- 
tains. 

21  11  Then  said  Saul,  I  have 
sinned :  return,  my  son  Dft'vid : 
for  I  will  no  more  do  thee  harm, 
because  my  soul  was  precious 
in  thine  eyes  this  day :  behold,  I 
have  played  the  fool,  and  have 
erred  exceedingly. 

22  And  Dft'vid  answered  and 
said,  Behold  the  king's  spear 
and  let  one  of  the  young  men 
come  over  and  fetch  it 

23  The  Lord  render  to  every 
man  his  righteousness  and  his  E'gjrpt 

309 


faithfulness:  for  the  Lord  de- 
livered thee  into  my  hand  to 
day,  but  I  would  not  stretch 
forth  mine  hand  against  the 
Lord's  anointed. 

24  And,  behold,  as  thy  life 
was  much  set  by  this  day  in 
mine  eyes,  so  let  my  life  be 
much  set  by  in  the  eyes  of  the 
Lord,  and  let;  him  deliver  me 
out  of  all  tribulation. 

25  Then  Saul  said  to  Dft'vid, 
Blessed  be  thou,  my  son  Dft'- 
vid: thou  shalt  both  do  great 
things,  and  also  shalt  still  pre- 
vail. So  Dft'vid  went  on  his 
way,  and  Saul  returned  to  his 
place. 

CHAPTER  27 

Saul,  hearing  that  David  woe  fled  to 
Goth,  eeeke  no  more  for  him.  5 
David  bege  ZUdag  of  Achieh, 

AND  Dft'vid  said  in  his  heart, 
I  shall  now  perish  one  day 
by  the  hand  of  Saul :  there  ts 
nothing  better  for  me  than  that 
I  should  speedily  escape  into 
the  land  of  the  Phl-lfe'tines ; 
and  Saul  shall  despair  of  me,  to 
seek  me  any  more  in  any  coast 
of  Is/ra-el :  so  shall  I  escape  out 
of  his  hand. 

2  And  Dft'vid  arose,  and  he 
passed  over  with  the  six  hun- 
dred men  that  were  with  him 
unto  A'chish,  the  son  of  Mft'Och, 
king  of  Gftth. 

3  And  Dft'vid  dwelt  with 
A'chish  at  Gftth,  he  and  his 
men,  every  man  with  his 
household,  even  Dft'vid  with 
his  two  wives,  A-hfa'o-ftm  the 
Jeafre-eMt-ess,  and  Abl-gail  the 
CaVmel-it-ess,  Nrbal's  wife. 

4  And  it  was  told  Saul  that 
Dft'vid  was  fled  to  Gftth :  and  he 
sought  no  more  again  for  him. 

5  9  And  Dft'vid  said  unto 
A'chish,  If  I  have  now  found 
grace  in  thine  eyes,  let  them 
give  me  a  place  in  some  town 
in  the  country,  that  I  may 
dwell  there:  for  why  should 
thy  servant  dwell  in  the  royal 
city  with  thee? 

6  Then  A'chish  gave  him  Zik'- 
lftg  that  day:  wherefore  Zlk'- 
Iftg  pertaineth  unto  the  kings 
of  Ju'dah  unto  this  day. 

7  And  the  time  that  Dft'vid 
dwelt  in  the  country  of  the 
Phi-Hs'tines,  was  a  full  year  and 
four  months. 

8  11  And  Dft'vid  and  his  men 
went  up,  and  invaded  the  Gesh'- 
u-rites,  and  the  GeVrites,  and 
the  Am'a-UUc-ftes :  for  those  na- 
tions were  of  old  the  inhabit- 
ants of  the  land,  as  thou  goest 
to  Shur,  even  unto  the  land  of

9  And  Da'vid  smote  the  land, 
and  left  neither  man  nor  wom- 
an alive,  and  took  away  the 
sheep,  and  the  oxen,  and  the 
asses,  and  the  camels,  and  the 
apparel,  and  returned,  and  came 
to  A'chish. 

10  And  A'chish  said,  Whither 
have  ye  made  a  road  to  day? 
And  Da'vid  said,  Against  the 
south  of  Ju'dah,  and  against  the 
south  of  the  JS-rah'me-eMtes, 
and  against  the  south  of  the 
Kenltes. 

11  And  Da'vid  saved  neither 
man  nor  woman  alive,  to  bring 
tidings  to  G&th,  saying,  Lest 
they  should  tell  on  us,  saving, 
So  did  Da'vid,  and  so  will  be  his 
manner  all  the  while  he  dwell- 
eth  in  the  country  of  the  Phi- 
lis'tines. 

12  And  A'chish  believed  Da'- 
vid, saying,  He  hath  made  his 
people  Ig'ra-el  utterly  to  abhor 
him ;  therefore  he  shall  he  my 
servant  for  ever. 

CHAPTER  28 

Achish's  confidence  in  David.  7  Saul 
seeks  to  a  witch,  who,  being  en- 
couraged by  him,  raises  up  Sam- 
uel. 15  Saul,  hearing  hie  ruin, 
faints:  21  he  is  refreshed  with 
meat. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  those 
days,  that  the  PhMis'tineg 
gathered  their  armies  together 
for  warfare,  to  fight  with  Is/ra-eL 
And  A'chish  said  unto  Da'vid, 
Know  thou  assuredly,  that  thou 
shalt  go  out  with  me  to  battle, 
thou  and  thy  men. 

2  And  Da'vid  said  to  A'chish, 
Surely  thou  shalt  know  what 
thy  servant  can  do.  And 
A'chish  said  to  Da'vid,  There- 
fore will  I  make  thee  keeper  of 
mine  head  for  ever. 

3  IT  Now  Sam'u-el  was  dead, 
and  all  Is/ra-el  had  lamented 
him,  and  buried  him  in  Ra'mah, 
even  in  his  own  city.  And  Saul 
had  put  away  those  that  had 
familiar  spirits,  and  the  wizards, 
out  of  the  land. 

4  And  the  Phi-lis'tineg  gath- 
ered themselves  together,  and 
came  and  pitched  in  Shu'nem : 
and  Saul  gathered  all  Vra-el 
together,  and  they  pitched  in 
Gil-bd'a. 

5  And  when  Saul  saw  the  host 
of  the  Phl-lis'tines,  he  was 
afraid,  and  his  heart  greatly 
trembled. 

6  And  when  Saul  enquired  of 
the  Lord,  the  Lord  answered 
him  not,  neither  by  dreams,  nor 
by  U'rim,  nor  by  prophets. 

7  Then  said  Saul  unto  his 
servants,  Seek  me  a  woman  that 
hath  a  familiar  spirit,  that  I  may 


go  to  her,  and  enquire  of  her. 
And  his  servants  said  to  him, 
Behold,  there  is  a  woman  that 
hath  a  familiar  spirit  at  En'-d8r, 

8  And  Saul  disguised  himself, 
and  put  on  other  raiment,  and 
he  went,  and  two  men  with  him, 
and  they  came  to  the  woman  by 
night :  and  he  said,  I  pray  thee, 
divine  unto  me  by  the  familiar 
spirit,  and  bring  me  him  up, 
whom  I  shall  name  unto  thee. 

9  And  the  woman  said  unto 
him,  Behold,  thou  knowest  what 
Saul  hath  done,  how  he  hath 
cut  off  those  that  have  familiar 
spirits,  and  the  wizards,  out  of 
the  land:  wherefore  then  lay* 
est  thou  a  snare  for  my  life,  to 
cause  me  to  die? 

10  And  Saul  sware  to  her  by 
the  Lord,  saying,  As  the  Lord 
liveth,  there  shall  no  punish- 
ment, happen  to  thee  for  this 
thing! 

11  Then  said  the  woman, 
Whom  shall  I  bring  up  unto 
thee?  And  he  said,  Bring  me 
up  Sam'u-eL 

12  And  when  the  woman  saw 
Sfim'u-el,  she  cried  with  a  loud 
voice :  and  the  woman  spake  to 
Saul,  saying,  Why  hast  thou  de- 
ceived me?  for  thou  art  Saul. 

13  And  the  king  said  unto  her, 
Be  not  afraid :  for  what  sawest 
thou?  And  the  woman  said 
unto  Saul,  I  saw  gods  ascending 
out  of  the  earth. 

14  And  he  said  unto  her,  What 
form  is  he  of  ?  And  she  said, 
An  old  man  cometh  up ;  and  he 
is  covered  with  a  mantle.  And 
Saul  perceived  that  it  was 
Sam'u-el,  and  he  stooped  with 
his  face  to  the  ground,  and 
bowed  himself. 

15  And  Sam'u-el  said  to  Saul, 
Why  hast  thou  disquieted  me, 
to  bring  me  up?  And  Saul 
answered,  I  am  sore  distressed ; 
for  the  Phl-lis'tlnes  make  war 
against  me,  and  God  is  departed 
from  me,  and  answereth  me  no 
more,  neither  by  prophets,  nor 
by  dreams:  therefore  I  have 
called  thee,  that  thou  mayest 
make  known  unto  me  what  I 
shall  do. 

16  Then  said  Sam'u-el.  Where- 
fore then  dost  thou  ask  of  me, 
seeing  the  Lord  is  departed 
from  thee,  and  is  become  thine 
enemy? 

17  And  the  Lord  hath  done  to 
him,  as  he  spake  by  me :  for  the 
Lord  hath  rent  the  kingdom  out 
of  thine  hand,  and  given  it  to 
thy  neighbour,  even  to  Da'vid : 

18  Because  thou  obeyedst  not 
the  voice  of  the  Lord,  nor

cutedst  his  fierce  wrath  upon 
Am'a-lek,  therefore  hath  the 
Lord  done  this  thing  unto  thee 
this  day. 

19  Moreover  the  Lord  will  al- 
so deliver  Is/ra-el  with  thee  in- 
to the  hand  of  the  PhMk'tlnes. : 
and  to  morrow  shalt  thou  and 
thy  sons  be  with  me :  the  Lord 
also  shall  deliver  the  host  of 
U'ra-el  into  the  hand  of  the 
PhHis'tines. 

20  Then  Saul  fell  straightway 
all  along  on  the  earth,  and  was 
sore  afraid,  because  of  the  words 
of  S&m'u-el:  and  there  was  no 
strength  in  him;  for  he  had 
eaten  no  bread  all  the  day,  nor 
all  the  night. 

21  UAnd  the  woman  came  un- 
to Saul,  and  saw  that  he  was 
sore  troubled,  and  said  unto 
him,  Behold,  thine  handmaid 
hath  obeyed  thy  voice,  and  I 
have  put  my  life  in  my  hand, 
and  have  hearkened  unto  thy 
words  which  thou  spakest  un- 
to me. 

22  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
hearken  thou  also  unto  the 
voice  of  thine  handmaid,  and 
let  me  set  a  morsel  of  bread  be- 
fore thee;  and  eat,  that  thou 
mayest  have  strength,  when 
thou  goest  on  thy  way. 

23  But  he  refused,  and  said,  I 
will  not  eat.  But  his  servants, 
together  with  the  woman,  com- 
pelled him ;  and  he  hearkened 
unto  their  voice.  So  he  arose 
from  the  earth,  and  sat  Upon 
the  bed. 

24  And  the  worrian  had  a  fat 
calf  in  the  house;  and  she 
hasted,' trnd  killed  it,  and  took 
flour,  and  kneaded  it,  and  did 
bake  unleavened  bread  thereof : 

25  And  she  brought  it  before 
Saul,  and  before  his  servants ; 
and  they  did  eat.  Then  they 
rose  up,  and  went  away  that 
night 

CHAPTER  29 
David,  marching  with  the  Philistines 
to  fight  with  Israel,  3  ia  disallowed 
by  their  princes:  6  Achish  dis- 
misses him  with  commendations  of 
•his  fidelity, 

NOW  the  PhMis'tfnes  gath- 
ered together  all  their 
armies  to  A'phek:  and  the  Is> 
ra-el-ites.  pitched  by  a  fountain 
which  is  m  JeVre«el. 

2  And  the  lords  of  the  Phi-Hs'- 
tlneg  passed  on  by  hundreds, 
and  by  thousands:  but  Dfi'vid 
and  his  men  passed  on  in  the 
rereward  with  A'chish. 

3  Then  said  the  princes  of  the 
PhUis'tlnes,  What  do  these  He'- 
brewg  here  ?  And  A'chish  said 
unto  the  princes  of  the  PhUis' 


tines,  Is  not  this  D&'vid,  the 
servant  of  Saul  the  king  of  If'- 
ra-el,  which  hath  been  with  me 
these  days,  or  these  years,  and 
I  have  found  no  fault  in  him 
since  he  fell  unto- me  unto  this 
day? 

4  And  the  princes  of  the  Phi- 
lis'tineg  were  wroth  with  him ; 
and  the  princes  of  the  Phi-lis'- 
tine§  said  unto  him,  Make  this 
fellow  return,  that  he  may  go 
again  to  his  place  which  thou 
hast  appointed  him,  and  let  him 
not  go  down  with  us  to  battle, 
lest  in  the  battle  he  be  an  adyer- 
sary  to  us:  for  wherewith  should 
he  reconcile  himself  unto  his 
master?  should  it  not  be  with 
the  heads  of  these  men  ? 

5  Is  not  this  D&'vid,  of  whom 
they  sang  one  to  another  in 
dances,  saying,  Saul  slew  his 
thousands,  and  Dfi'vid  his  ten 
thousands  ? 

6  f  Then  A'chish  called  D&'- 
vid, and  said  unto  him,  Surely, 
as  the  Lord  liveth,  thou  hast 
been  upright,  and  thy  going 
out  and  thy  coming  in  with  me 
in  the  host  is  good  in  my  sight 
for  I  have  not  found  evil  in 
thee  since  the  day  of  thy  com- 
ing unto  me  unto  this  day: 
nevertheless  the  lords  favour 
thee  not. 

7  Wherefore  now  return,  and 
go  in  peace,  that  thou  displease 
not  the  lords  of  the  PtuWrrnes. 

8  And  Da'vid  said  unto  A'chish, 
But  what  have  I  done?  and 
what  hast  thou  found  in  thy 
servant  so  long  as  I  have  been 
with  thee  unto  this  day,  that  I 
may  not  go  fight  against  the 
enemies  of  mv lord  the  king? 

9  And  A'chish  answered  and 
said  to  D&'vid,  I  know  that  thou 
art  good  in  my  sight,  as  an  an- 
gel of  God:  notwithstanding 
the  princes  of  the  PhMis'tfnes 
have  said,  He  shall  not  go  up 
with  us  to  the  battle. 

10  Wherefore  now  rise  up 
early  in  the  morning  with  thy 
master's  servants  that  are  come 
with  thee :  and  as  soon  as  ye  be 
up  edrly  in  the  morning,  and 
have  light,  depart 

11  So  Dfi'vid  and  his  men  rose 
up  early  to  depart  in  the  morn- 
ing, to  return  into  the  land  of 
the  PhMIs'tines.  And  the  Phi- 
lis'tmeg  went  up  to  JeVre-el.

come  to  Zlklag  on  the  third 
day,  that  the  Am'a-l£k>ites  had 
invaded  the  south,  and  Zlklag, 
and  smitten  ZiklSg,  and  burned 
it  with  fire ; 

2  And  had  taken  the  women 
captives,  that  were  therein: 
they  slew  not  any,  either  great 
or  small,  but  carried  them  away, 
and  went  on  their  way. 

3  So  Da'vid  and  his  men  came 
to  the  city,  and,  behold,  it  was 
burned  with  fire;  and  their 
wives,  and  their  sons,  and  their 
daughters,  were  taken  captives. 

4  Then  Da'vid  and  the  people 
that  were  with  him  lifted  up 
their  voice  and  wept,  until  they 
had  no  more  power  to  weep. 

5  And  Da'vid's  two  wives  were 
taken  captives,  A-hln'o-am  the 
Jez're-el-it-ess,  and  Abl-gail  the 
wife  of  Nalwd  the  Car'mel-ite. 

6  And  Da'vid  was  greatly  dis- 
tressed ;  for  the  people  spake  of 
stoning  him,  because  the  soul  of 
all  the  people  was  grieved,  every 
man  for  his  sons  and  for  his 
daughters:  but  Da'vid  encour- 
aged himself  in  the  Lord  his 
God. 

7  And  DSVid  said  to  A-bi'a- 
thar  the  priest,  A-him'e-lech's 
son,  I  pray  thee,  bring  me  hither 
the  ephod.  And  A-bi'a-tbar 
brought  thither  the  ephod  to 
Da'vid. 

8  And  Da'vid  enquired  at  the 
Lord,  saying,  Shall  I  nursue 
after  this  troop?  shall  I  over- 
take them  ?  And.  he  answered 
him,  Pursue:  for  thou  shalt 
surely  overtake  them,  and  with- 
out fail  recover  all. 

9  So  Da'vid  went,  he  and  the 
six  hundred  men  that  were 
with  him,  and  came  to  the 
brook  BS'sdr,  where  those  that 
were  left  behind  stayed. 

10  But  Da'vid  pursued,  he  and 
four  hundred  men:  for  two 
hundred  abode  behind,  which 
were  so  faint  that  they  could 
not  go  over  the  brook  BS'sor. 

11  UAnd  they  found  an  £-gjrp'- 
tian  in  the  field,  and  brought 
him  to  Da'vid,  and  gave  him 
bread,  and  he  did  eat ;  and  they 
made  him  drink  water; 

12  And  they  gave  him  a  piece 
of  a  cake  of  figs,  and  two  clus- 
ters of  raisins:  and  when  he 
had  eaten,  his  spirit  came  again 
to  him:  for  he  had  eaten  no 
bread,  nor  drunk  any  water, 
three  days  and  three  nights. 

13  And  Da'vid  said  unto  him, 
To  whom  belongest  thou?  and 
whence  art  thou  ?  And  he  said, 
I  am  a  young  man  of  ffgypt, 
servant  to  an  Am'a-lik-ite ;  and 


my  master   left   me,  because 
three  days  agone  I  fell  sick. 

14  We  made  an  invasion  upon 
the  south  of  the  CheVe-thites, 
and  upon  the  coast  which  be 
longeth  to  Ju'dah,  and  upon  the 
south  of  Caleb ;  and  we  burned 
Ziklag  with  fire. 

15  And  Da'vid  said  to  him, 
Canst  thou  bring  me  down  to 
this  company?  And  he  said, 
Swear  unto  me  by  God,  that 
thou  wilt  neither  kill  me,  nor 
deliver  me  into  the  hands  of 
my  master,  and  I  will  bring  thee 
down  to  this  company. 

16  And  when  he  had  brought 
him  down,  behold,  they  were 
spread  abroad  upon  all  the 
earth,  eating  and  drinking,  and 
dancing,  because  of  all  the  great 
spoil  that  they  had  taken  out  of 
the  land  of  the  Phi-lf  s'tinea,  and 
out  of  the  land  of  Ju'dah. 

17  And  Da'vid  smote  them 
from  the  twilight  even  unto 
the  evening  of  the  next  day: 
and  there  escaped  not  a  man  of 
them,  save  four  hundred  young 
men,  which  rode  upon  camels, 
and  fled. 

18  And  Da'vid  recovered  all 
that  the  Am'a-lSk-ites  had  car- 
ried away:  and  Da'vid  rescued 
his  two  wives. 

19  And  there  was  nothing 
lacking  to  them,  neither  small 
nor  great,  neither  sons  nor 
daughters,  neither  spoil,  nor 
any  thing  that  they  had  taken 
to  them :  Da'vid  recovered  all. 

20  And  Da'vid  took  all  the 
flocks  and  the  herds,  which 
they  drave  before  those  other 
cattle,  and  said,  This  is  Da'vid's 
spoil. 

21  IF  And  Da'vid  came  to  the 
two  hundred  men,  which  were 
so  faint  that  they  could  not  fol- 
low Da'vid,  whom  they  had 
made  also  to  abide  at  the  brook 
B€'sor:  and  they  went  forth  to 
meet  Da'vid,  and  to  meet  the 
people  that  were  with  him :  and 
when  Da'vid  came  near  to  the 
people,  he  saluted  them. 

22  Then  answered  all  the 
wicked  men  and  men  of  Beli- 
al, of  those  that  went  with  Da'- 
vid, add  said,  Because  they  went 
not  with  us,  we  will  not  give 
them  ought  of  the  spoil  that  we 
have  recovered,  save  to  every 
man  his  wife  and  his  children, 
that  they  may  lead  them  away, 
and  depart. 

23  Then  said  Da'vid,  Ye  shall 
not  do  so,  my  brethren,  with 
that  which  the  Lord  hath  given 
us,  who  hath  preserved-  us,  and 
delivered   the    company    that

NOW  the  Phl-Hs'tlnes  fought 
against  Is/ra-el:  and  the 
men  of  Is'ra-el  fled  from  before 
the  Phi-lis'traes,  and  fell  down 
slain  in  mount  Gll-hd'a. 

2  And  the  Phl-Hs'tlne*  fol- 
lowed hard  upon  Saul  and  upon 
his  sons;  and  the  PhMIs'tlnes. 
slew  J5n'a-than,  and  A-Mn'i 
d5b,  and  MeTchi-shu'a,  SauTs 
sons. 

3  And  the  battle  went  sore 


against  Saul,  and  the  archers 
hit  him;  and  he  was  sore 
wounded  of  the  archers. 

4  Then  said  Saul  unto  his 
armourbearer,  Draw  thy  sword, 
and  thrust  me  through  there- 
with ;  lest  these  uncircumcised 
come  and  thrust  me  through, 
and  abuse  me.  But  his  armour- 
bearer  would  not;  for  he  was 
sore  afraid.  Therefore  Saul 
took  a  sword,  and  fell  upon 
it 

5  And  when  his  armourbearer 
saw  that  Saul  was  dead,  he  fell 
likewise  upon  his  sword,  and 
died  with  nim. 

6  So  Saul  died,  and  his  three 
sons,  and  his  armourbearer,  and 
all  his  men,  that  same  day  to- 
gether. 

7  1f  And  when  the  men  of  Is 
ra-el  that  were  on  the  other 
side  of  the  valley,  and  they  that 
were  on  the  other  side  Jor'dan, 
saw  that  the  men  of  Is/ra-ei  fled, 
and  that  Saul  and  his  sons  were 
dead,  they  forsook  the  cities, 
and  fled;  and  the  PhMIs'tines 
came  and  dwelt  in  them. 

8  f  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  when  the  PhMIs'tines 
came  to  strip  the  slain,  that 
they  found  Sftul  and  his  three 
sons  fallen  in  mount  Gil-bd'a. 

9  And  they  cut  off  his  head, 
and  stripped  off  his  armour,  and 
sent  into  the  land  of  the  Phi- 
listines, round  about,  to  publish 
it  in  the  house  of  their  idols, 
and  among  the  people. 

10  And  tney  put  his  armour 
in  the  house  of  Ash'ta-rdth: 
and  they  fastened  his  body  to 
the  wall  of  Bfith'-shfin. 

11  And  when  the  inhabitants 
of  JaT>esh-giT'e4Ul  heard  of  that 
which  the  PhMIs'tines  had  done 
to  Saul ; 

12  All  the  valiant  men  arose, 
and  went  all  night,  and  took  the 
body  of  Saul  and  the  bodies  of 
his  sons  from  the  wall  of  B6th'- 
sh&n,  and  came  to  Ja"besh,  and 
burnt  them  there. 

13  And  they  took  their  bones, 
and  buried  them  under  a  tree  at 
JS'besh,  and  fasted  seven  days.

CHAPTER  1 

An  AmaUkite  bring*  tiding*  of 
Saul's  death.  17  David  lament* 
Saul  and  Jonathan. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass  after 
the  death  of  Saul,  when 
Da'vid  was  returned  from  the 
slaughter  of  the  Am'a-lSk-Ites, 
and  Da'vid  had  abode  two  days 
inZIklfig; 

2  It  came  even  to  pass  on  the 
third  day,  that,  behold,  a  man 
came  out  of  the  camp  from  Saul 
with  his  clothes  rent,  and  earth 
upon  his  head:  and  so  it  was, 
when  he  came  to  Da'vid,  that 
he  fell  to  the  earth,  and  did 
obeisance. 

3  And  Da'vid  said  unto  him, 
From  whence  comest  thou? 
And  he  said  unto  him,  Out  of 
the  camp  of  Is/ra-el  am  I  es- 
caped. 

4  And  Da'vid  said  unto  him, 
How  went  the  matter?  I  pray 
thee,  tell  me.  And  he  answered, 
That  the  people  are  fled  from 
the  battle,  ana  many  of  the  peo- 
ple also  are  fallen  and  dead; 
and  Saul  and  Jdn'a-than  his  son 
are  dead.  also. 

5  And  DS'vid  said  unto  the 
young  man  that  told  him,  How 
knowest  thou  that  Saul  and 
JOn'a-than  his  son  be  dead? 

6  And  the  young  man  that 
told  him  said,  As  I  happened  by 
chance  upon  mount  Gil-bo'a,  be- 
hold, Saul  leaned  upon  his 
spear ;  and,  lo,  the  chariots  and 
horsemen  followed  hard  after 
him. 

7  And  when  he  looked  behind 
him,  he  saw  me,  and  called  unto 
me.  And  I  answered,  Here  am  L 

8  And  he  said  unto  me,  Who 
art  thou  ?  And  I  answered  him, 
I  am  an  Am'a-l£k-ite< 

9  He  said  unto  me  again, 
Stand,  I  pray  thee,  upon  me,  and 
slay  me:  for  anguish  is  come 
upon  me,  because  my  life  is 
yet  whole  in  me. 

10  So  I  stood  upon  him,  and 
slew  him,  because  I  was  sure 
that  he  could  not  live  after  that 
he  was  fallen:  and  I  took  the 
crown  that  was  upon  his  head, 
and  the  bracelet  that  was  on 
his  arm,  and  have  brought  them 
hither  unto  my  lord. 


11  Then  DS'vid  took  hold  on 
his  clothes,  and  rent  them; 
and  likewise  all  the  men  that 
were  with  him : 

12  And  they  mourned,  and 
wept,  and  fasted  until  even,  for 
Saul,  and  for  JdnVthan  his  son, 
and  for  the  people  of  the  Lord, 
and  for  the  house  of  ls'ra-el; 
because  they  were  fallen  by  the 
sword. 

13  IT  And  DSVid  said  unto  the 
young  man  that  told  him, 
Whence  art  thou?  And  he  an- 
swered, I  am  the  son  of  a 
stranger,  an  Am'a-l€k-Ite. 

14  And  Da'vid  said  unto  him, 
How  wast  thou  not  afraid  to 
stretch  forth  thine  hand  to  de- 
stroy the  Lord's  anointed  ? . 

15  And  Da'vid  called  one  of 
the  young  men,  and  said,  Go 
near,  ana  fall  upon  him.  And 
he  smote  him  that  he  died. 

16  And  Da'vid  said  unto  him, 
Thy  blood  be  upon  thy  head; 
for  thy  mouth  hath  testified 

r'nst   thee,  saying,  I  have 
t  the  Lord's  anointed. 

17  IFAnd  Da'vid  lamented  with 
this,  lamentation  over  Saul  and 
over  J5n'a-than  his  son : 

18  (Also  he  bade  them  teach 
the  children  of  Ju'dah  the  use 
of  the  bow:  behold,  it  is  writ- 
ten in  the  book  of  Ja'sher.) 

19  The  beauty  of  Is/rn-el  is 
slain  upon  thy  high  places: 
how  are  the  mighty  fallen ! 

20  Tell  it  not  in  G&th,  publish 
it  not  in  the  streets  of  As'ke- 
ldn ;  lest  the  daughters  of  the 
PhMis'tines  rejoice,  lest  the 
daughters  of  the  uncircumcised 
triumph. 

21  Ye  mountains  of  Gil-bS'a, 
let  there  be  no  dew,  neither  let 
there  be  rain,  upon  you,  nor 
fields  of  offerings :  for  there  the 
shield  of  the  mighty  is  vilely 
cast  away,  the  shield  of  Saul, 
as  though  he  had  not  been 
anointed  with  oil. 

22  From  the  blood  of  the  slain, 
from  the  fat  of  the  mighty,  the 
bow  of  J5n'a-than  turned  not 
back,  and  the  sword  of  Saul  re- 
turned not  empty. 

23  Saul  and  J8n'a-than  were 
lovely  and  pleasant  in  their 
lives,  and  in  their  death  they

24  Ye  daughters  of  ls/ra-el, 
weep  over  Saul,  who  clothed 
you  in  scarlet,  with  other  de- 
lights, who  pat  on  ornaments 
of  gold  upon  your  apparel 

25  How  are  the  mighty  fallen 
in  the  midst  of  the  battle!  0 
Jdn'a-than,  thou  wast  slain  in 
thine  high  places. 

26  I  am  distressed  for  thee, 
my  brother  JOn'a-than:  very 
pleasant  hast  thou  been  unto 
me:  thy  love  to  me  was  won- 
derful, passing  the  love  of 
women. 

27  How  are  the  mighty  fallen, 
and  the  weapons  of  war  per- 
ished! 

CHAPTER  2 

David,  by  God* 9  direction,  goes  up  to 
Hebron,  and  is  made  king  otter  Ju- 
dah.  8  Abner  makes  Ish-boeheth 
king  over  leraeL    18  Aeahel  slain. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after 
this,  that  Da'vid  enquired 
of  the  Lord,  saying,  Shall  I  go 
up  into  any  of  the  cities  of  Ju'- 
dah  ?  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
him,  Go  up.  And  Da'vid  said, 
Whither  shall  I  go  up?  And  he 
said,  Unto  HS'bron. 

2  So  Di'vid  went  up  thither, 
and  his  two  wives  also,  A-hin'o- 
am  the  JeVre-el-it-ess,  and  Abi- 
gail Nazal's  wife  the  Carmel- 
ite. 

3  And  his  men  that  were  with 
him  did  Da'vid  bring  up,  every 
man  with  his  household:  and 
they  dwelt  in  the  cities  of  HS'- 
bron.  • 

4  And  the  men  of  Ju'dah 
came,  and  there  they  anointed 
Da'vid  king  over  the  house  of 
Ju'dah.  And  they  told  Da'vid, 
saying.  That  the  men  of  Ja'- 
besh-gfl'e-ad  were  they  that 
buried  Saul. 

5  IF  And  Da'vid  sent  messen- 
gers unto  the  men  of  Jal>esh 
gil'e-fid,  and  said  unto  them, 
Blessed  be  ye  of  the  Lord,  that 
ye  have  shewed  this  kindness 
unto  your  lord,  even  unto  ~ 
and  have  buried  him. 

6  And  now  the  Lord  shew 
kindness  and  truth  unto  you 
and  I  also  will  requite  you  this 
kindness,  because  ye  have  done 
this  thing. 

7  Therefore  now  let  your 
hands  be  strengthened,  and  be 
ye  valiant:  for  your  master 
Saul  is  dead,  and  also  the  house 
of  Ju'dah  have  anointed  me 
king  over  them. 

8  f  But  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner, 
captain  of  Saul's  host,  took  Ish- 
bdsheth  the  son  of  Saul,  and 


brought   him  over  to  Ma-ha- 
na'im ; 

9  And  made  him  king  over 
GU'e-ad,  and  over  the  Ash'ur- 
ites,  and  over  Jez're-ei,  and  over 
cYphrft-Im,  and  over  Ben'ja-min, 
and  over  all  la'ra-el. 

10  Ish-bo'sheth  Saul's  son 
was  forty  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign  over  la'ra-el, 
and  reigned  two  years.  But 
the  house  of  Ju'dah  followed 
Da'vid. 

11  And  the  time  that  Da'vid 
was  king  in  HCbron  over  the 
house  of  Ju'dah  was  seven  years 
and  six  months. 

12  %  And  Ab'ner  the  son  of 
Ner,  and  the  servants  of  Ish-b5'- 
sheth  the  son  of  Saul,  went  out 
from  Ma-ha-n&'im  to  Gib'e-on. 

13  And  J8'Sb  the  son  of  Zer-u- 
i'ah,  and  the  servants  of  Da'vid, 
went  out,  and  met  together  by 
the  pool  of  Gib'e-on :  and  they 
sat  down,  the  one  on  the  one 
side  of  the  pool,  and  the  other 
on  the  other  side  of  the  pool. 

14  And  Ab'ner  said  to  J6'ftb, 
Let  the  young  men  now  arise, 
and  play  before  us.  And  J&lb 
said.  Let  them  arise. 

15  Then  there  arose  and  went 
over  by  number  twelve  of  Ben'- 
ja-min, which  pertained  to  Ish- 
bd'sheth  the  son  of  Saul,  and 
twelve  of  the  servants  of  Da'vid. 

16  And  they  caught  every  one 
his  fellow  by  the  head,  and 
thrust  his  sword  in  his  fellow's 
side;  so  they  fell  down  to- 
gether: wherefore  that  place 
was  called  HeTkath-haYzu-rim, 
which  is  in  Gib'e-on. 

17  And  there  was  a  very  sore 
battle  that  day ;  and  Ab'ner  was 
beaten,  and  the  men  of  Is/ra-el, 
before  the  servants  of  Da'vid. 

18  f  And   there   were    three 
sons  of  Zer-u-i'ah  there,  JQ'ftb, 
and   A-blsh'a-l,    and   A'sa-hSl 
and  A'sa-hSl  was  as  light  of 
foot  as  a  wild  roe. 

19  And  A'sa-hel  pursued  after 
Ab'ner;  and  in  going  he  turned 
not  to  the  right  hand  nor  to  the 
left  from  following  Ab'ner. 

20  Then  Ab'ner  looked  behind 
him,  and  said,  Art  thou  A'sa- 
hel  ?    And  he  answered,  I  am. 

21  And  Ab'ner  said  to  him, 
Turn  thee  aside  to  thy  right 
hand  or  to  thy  left,  and  lay  thee 
hold  on  one  of  the  young  men, 
and  take  thee  his  armour.  But 
A'sa-hel  would  not  turn  aside 
from  following  of  him. 

22  And  Ab'ner  said  again  to 
A'sa-hel,  Turn  thee  aside  from 
following  me:  wherefore  should 
il  smite  thee  to  the  ground?

how  then  should  I  hold  up  my 
face  to  J6'&b  thy  brother? 

23  Howbeit  he  refused  to  turn 
aside:  wherefore  Ab'ner  with 
the  hinder  end  of  the  spear 
smote  him  under  the  fifth  rib, 
that  the  spear  came  out  behind 
him;  and  he  fell  down  there, 
and  died  in  the  same  place: 
and  it  came  to  pass,  that  as 
many  as  came  to  the  place 
where  A'sa-hel  fell  down  and 
died  stood  still. 

24  Ja'fib  also  and  A-blsh'fi-i 
pursued  after  Ab'ntr:  and  the 
sun  went  down  when  they  were 
come  to  the  hill  of  Am'mah, 
that  lieth  before  GFah  by  the 
way  of  the  wilderness  of  Gib'- 
e-on. 

25  11  And  the  children  of  Bgn'- 
ja-mln  gathered  themselves  to- 
gether after  Ab'ner,  and  became 
one  troop,  and  stood  on  the  top 
of  an  hill. 

26  Then  Ab'ner  called  to  J5'- 
fib,  and  said,  Shall  the  sword  de- 
vour for  ever?  knowest  thou  not 
that  it  will  be  bitterness  in  the 
latter  end  ?  how  long  shall  it  be 
then,  ere  thou  bid  the  people 
return  from  following  their 
brethren? 

27  And  Jd'fib  said.  As  God 
liveth,  unless  thou  hadst  spo- 
ken, surely  then  in  the  morning 
the  people  had  gone  up  every 
one  from  following  his  brother. 

28  So  JS'fib  blew  a  trumpet, 
and  all  the  people  stood  still, 
and  pursued  after  Is/ra-el  no 
more,  neither  fought  they  any 
more. 

29  And  Ab'ner  and  his  men 
walked  all  that  night  through 
the  plain,  and  passed  over  J6r*- 
dan,  and  went  through  all  Bith'- 
r5n,  and  they  came  to  Ma-h5- 
nS'im. 

30  And  Jd'fib  returned  from 
following  Ab'n£r :  and  when  he 
had  gathered  all  the  people  to- 
gether, there  lacked  of  Dfi'vid's 
servants  nineteen  men  and 
A'sa-hel 

31  But  the  servants  of  Da'vid 
had  smitten  of  Ben'ja-mln,  and 
of  Ab'neVs  men,  so  that  three 
hundred  and  threescore  men 
died. 

32  IT  And  they  took  up  A'sa- 
hel,  and  buried  him  in  the  sep- 
ulchre of  his  father,  which  %oae 
in  B€th -l€-hem.  And  JS'fib 
and  his  men  went  all  night, 
and  they  came  to  Hebron  at 
break  of  day. 

CHAPTER  3 

Six  tons  born  to  David.  6  Abner  re- 
volt* to  David.  22  Joab  kills  Ab- 
ner.   31  David  mourn*  for  Abner. 


NOW  there  was  long  war  be- 
tween- the  house  of  Saul 
and  the  house  of  Dfi'vid:  but 
Da'vid  waxed  stronger  and 
stronger,  and  the  house  of  Saul 
waxed  weaker  and  weaker. 

2  If  And  unto  Dfi'vid  were  sons 
born  in  HCbron:  and  his  first- 
born was  Am'nftn,  of  A-hln'o- 
fim  the  Jezfre-eKit-ess; 

3  And  his  second,  Chll'e-fib,  of 
Abl-gail  the  wife  of  Nrba]  the 
CaVmeUte;  and  the  third,  Ab 
sa-ldm  the  son  of  Mfi'a-cah  the 
daughter  of  TaTrafii  king  of  G€ 
shur; 

4  And  the  fourth,  Ad-o-nl'jah 
the  son  of  Hfig'gith;  and  the 
fifth,  Sheph-a-ti'ah  the  son  of 
Ab'i-tfil; 

5  And  the  sixth,  Ith're-ftm,  by 
Eglah  Dfi'vid's  wife.  These 
were  born  to  Dfi'vid  in  He'bron. 

6  ITAnd  it  came  to  pass,  while 
there  was  war  between  the 
house  of  Saul  and  the  house  of 
Dfi'vid,  that  Ab'ner  made'  him- 
self strong  for  the  house  of  Saul. 

7  And  Sftul  had  a  concubine, 
whose  name  was  Riz'pah,  the 
daughter  of  A-i'ah:  and  Ish- 
bo' sheik  said  to  Ab'nSr,  Where- 
fore hast  thou  gone  in  unto  my 
father's  concubine? 

8  Then  was  Ab'ner  very  wroth 
for  the  words  of  Ish-bS'sheth, 
and  said,  Am  I  a  dog's  head, 
which  against  Jfi'dah  do  shew 
kindness  this  day  unto  the  house 
of  Saul  thy  father,  to  his  breth- 
ren, and  to  his  friends,  and 
have  not  delivered  thee  into 
the  haiftl  of  Dfi'vid,  that  thou 
chargest  me  to  day  with  a  fault 
concerning  this  woman  ? 

9  So  do  God  to  Ab'ner,  and 
more  also,  except,  as  the  Lord 
hath  sworn  to  Dfi'vid,  even  so 
I  do  to  him ; 

10  To  translate  the  kingdom 
from  the  house  of  Sftul,  and  to 
set  up  the  throne  of  Dfi'vid  over 
ls'ra-el  and  over  Ju'dah,  from 
Dan  even  to  Be'er-shS'ba. 

11  And  he  could  not  answer 
Ab'ner  a  word  again,  because 
he  feared  him. 

12  f  And  Ab'nSr  sent  messen- 
gers to  Dfi'vid  on  his  behalf, 
saying,  Whose  is  the  land  ?  say- 
ing also,  Make  thy  league  with 
me,  and,  behold,  mv  hand  shall 
be  with  thee,  to  bring  about  all 
If'ra-el  unto  thee. 

13  And  he  said,  Well;  I  will 
make  a  league  with  thee:  but 
one  thing  I  require  of  thee, 
that  is,  Thou  shalt  not  see  my 
face,  except  thou  first  bring  Ml'- 
chal  Saul's  daughter,  when  thou 
comest  to  see  my  face.

14  AndDi'vid  sent  messengers 
to  Ish-b<5'sheth  Saul's  son,  say- 
ing, Deliver  m«  my  wife  Mi' 
chal,  which  I  espoused  to  me 
for  an  hundred  foreskins  of  the 
PhMIs'tine* 

15  And  Ish-bd"sheth  sent,  and 
took  her  from  her  husband, 
even  from  PhaTtl-el  the  son  of 
LTish. 

16  And  her  husband  went  with 
her  along  weeping  behind  her 
to  Bfi-hu'rim.  Then  said  Ab'- 
ner unto  him,  Go,  return.  And 
he  returned. 

17  ITAnd  Ab'ner  had  commu- 
nication with  the  elders  of  Is> 
ra-el,  saying,  Ye  sought  for 
Da'vid  in  times  past  to  be  king 
over  you: 

18  Now  then  do  it:  for  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  of  Da'vid, 

tying,  Bv  the  hand  of  my  serv- 
ant Di'vid  I  will  save  my  peo- 
ple Is/ra-el  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  Phl-Hs'tfnes,  and  out  of  the 
hand  of  all  their  enemies. 

19  And  Ab'ner  also  spake  in 
the  ears  of  Ben'ja-min:  and 
Ab'n€r  went  also  to  speak  in 
the  ears  of  Da'vid  in  nephron 
all  that  seemed  good  to  Is/ra-el, 
and  that  seemed  good  to  the 
whole  house  of  fJen'ja-min. 

20  So  Ab'ner  came  to  Da'vid 
to  HS'bron,  and  twenty  men 
with  him.  And  Da'vid  made 
Ab'ner  and  the  men  that  were 
with  him  a  feast 

21  And  Ab'ner  said  unto  Da'- 
vid, I  will  arise  and  go,  and  will 
gather  all  Is/ra-el  unto  my  lord 
the  king,  that  they  may  make 
a  league  with  thee,  and  that 
thou  may  est  reign  over  all  that 
thine  heart  desireth.  And  Dfi'- 
vid  sent  Ab'nSr  away;  and  he 
went  in  peace. 

22  1f  And,  behold,  the  servants 
of  Da'vid  and  JS'ftb  came  from 
pursuing  a  troop,  and  brought 
in  a  great  spoil  with  them :  but 
Ab'ner  was  not  with  Da'vid  in 
He~hron;  for  he  had  sent  him 
away,  and  he  was  gone  in  peace. 

23  When  J5'ab  and  all  the 
host  that  was  with  him  were 
come,  they  told  Jd'fib,  saying, 
Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner  came  to 
the  king,  and  he  hath  sent  him 
away,  and  he  is  gone  in  peace. 

24  Then  Jd'ab  came  to  the 
king,  and  said,  What  hast  thou 
done  ?  behold,  Ab'ner  came  un- 
to thee;  why  is  it  that  thou 
hast  sent  him  away,  and  he  is 
quite  gone? 

25  Thou  knowest  Ab'ner  the 
son  of  NCr,  that  he  came  to  de- 
ceive thee,  and  to  know  thy 
going  out  and  thy  coming  in, 


and  to  know  all  that  thou  doest 

26  And  when  Jft'Ib  was  come 
out  from  Da'vid,  he  sent  mes- 
sengers after  Ab'ner,  which 
brought  him  again  from  the 
well  of  Si'rah;  but  Da'vid 
knew  it  not 

27  And  when  Ab'ner  was  re- 
turned to  Hg'bron,  Jd'ab  took 
him  aside  in  the  gate  to  speak 
with  him  quietly,  and  smote 
him  there  under  the  fifth  rib, 
that  he  died,  for  the  blood  of 
A'sa-hel  his  brother. 

28  1  And  afterward  when  Da' 
vid  heard  it,  he  said,  I  and  my 
kingdom  are  guiltless  before 
the  Lord  for  ever  from  the 
blood  of  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner 

29  Let  it  rest  on  the  head  of 
J5'ab,  and  on  all  his  father's 
house;  and  let  there  not  fail 
from  the  house  of  JCftb  one 
that  hath  an  issue,  or  that  is  a 
leper,  or  that  leaneth  on  a  staff, 
or  that  f alleth  on  the  sword,  or 
that  lacketh  bread. 

30  So  JS'fib  and  A-bish'a-i  his 
brother  slew  Ab'ner,  because  he 
had  slain  their  brother  A'sa-hel 
at  GIb'e-on  in  the  battle. 

31  f  And  Da'vid  said  to  Jd'ab, 
and  to  all  the  people  that  were 
with  him,  Rend  your  clothes, 
and  gird  you  with  sackcloth, 
and  mourn  before  Ab'ner.  And 
king  Da'vid  himself  followed 
the  bier. 

32  And  they  buried  Ab'ner  in 
He'bron:  and  the  king  lifted 
up  his  voice,  and  wept  at  the 
grave  of  Ab'ner;  and  all  the 
people  wept. 

33  And  the  king  lamented 
over  Ab'ner,  and  said,  Died 
Ab'ner  as  a  fool  dieth? 

34  Thy  hands  were  not  bound, 
nor  thy  feet  put  into  fetters: 
as  a  man  f alleth  before  wicked 
men,  so  fellest  thou.  And  all 
the  people  wept  again  over  him. 

35  And  when  all  the  people 
came  to  cause  Da'vid  to  eat 
meat  while  it  was  yet  day,  Da'- 
vid sware,  saying,  So  do  God  to 
me,  and  more  also,  if  I  taste 
bread,  or  ought  else,  till  the 
sun  be  down. 

36  And  all  the  people  took  no- 
tice of  it,  and  it  pleased  them 
as   whatsoever   the   king   did 
pleased  all  the  people.' 

37  For  all  the  people  and  all 
ls/ra-el  understood  that  day 
that  it  was  not  of  the  king  to 
slay  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner. 

38  And  the  king  said  unto  his 
servants,  Know  ye  not  that 
there  is  a  prince  and  a  great 
man  fallen  this  day  in  Ia'ra-el  ? 

39  And  I  am  this  day  weak,

AND  when  Saul's  son  heard 
that  Ab'ner  was  dead  in 
Hebron,  his  hands  were  feeble, 
and  all  the  Ig'ra-el-ites  were 
troubled. 

2  And  SauTs  son  had  two  men 
that  were  captains  of  bands: 
the  name  of  the  one  was  Ba'a- 
nah,  and  the  name  of  the  other 
Re'chfib,  the  sons  of  Rim'mon 
a  B€-e'roth-ite,  of  the  children 
of  Ben'ja-min:  (for  Be-e'roth 
also  was  reckoned  to  Ben'ja- 
min. 

3  And  the  Be-e'roth-ites  fled 
to  Git'ta-im,  and  were  sojourn- 
ers there  until  this  day.) 

4  And  Jdn'a-than,  Saul's  son, 
had  a  son  that  was  lame  of  his 
feet.  He  was  five  years  old 
when  the  tidings  came  of  Saul 
and  J5n'a-than  out  of  Jez're-el, 
and  his  nurse  took  him  up,  and 
fled:  and  it  came  to  pass,  as 
she  made  haste  to  flee,  that  he 
fell,  and  became  lame.  And  his 
name  was  Me-phib'o*he'th. 

5  IFAnd  the  sons  of  Rim'mon 
the  BWroth-ite,  Re'chfib  and 
Ba'a-nah,  went,  and  came  about 
the  heat  of  the  day  to  the  house 
of  lsh-b5'sheth,  who  lay  on  a 
bed  at  noon. 

6  And  they  came  thither  in- 
to the  midst  of  the  house, 
as  though  they  would  have 
fetched  wheat ;  and  they  smote 
him  under  the  fifth  rib:  and 
Re'chfib  and  Ba'a-nah  his  broth- 
er escaped. 

7  For  when  they  came  into 
the  house,  he  lay  on  his  bed  in 
his  bedchamber,  and  they  smote 
him,  and  slew  him,  and  behead 
ed  him,  and  took  his  head,  and 
gat  them  away  through  the 
plain  all  night. 

8  And  they  brought  the  head 
of  lsh-bo'sheth  unto  Dfi'vid  to 
He^bron,  and  said  to  the  kinc 
Behold  the  head  of  lsh-bo'shetl 
the  son  of  Saul  thine  enemy, 
which  sought  thy  life ;  and  the 
Lord  hath  avenged  my  lord  the 
king  this  day  of  Saul,  and  of 
his  seed. 

9  ITAnd  Dfi'vid  answered  R6 
chfib  and  Ba'a-nah  his  brother, 
the  sons  of  Rim'mon  the  Bfr€'- 
roth-ite,  and  said  unto  them, 
As  the  Lord  liveth,  who  hath 


redeemed  my  soul  out  of  all  ad- 
versity, 

10  When  one  told  me,  saying, 
Behold,  Saul  is  dead,  thinking 
to  have  brought  good  tidings, 
I  took  hold  of  him,  and  slew 
him  in  Ziklfig,  who  thought 
that  I  would  have  given  him  a 
reward  for  his  tidings: 

11  How  much  more,  when 
wicked  men  have  slain  a  right- 
eous person  in  his  own  house 
upon  his  bed  ?  shall  I  not  there- 
fore now  require  his  blood  of 
your  hand,  and  take  you  away 
from  the  earth? 

12  And  Dfi'vid  commanded 
his  young  men,  and  they  slew 
them,  and  cut  off  their  hands 
and  their  feet,  and  hanged 
them  up  over  the  pool  in  He*- 
bron.  But  they  took  the  head 
of  Ish-bS'sheth,  and  buried  it 
in  the  sepulchre  of  Ab'ner  in 
Hebron. 

CHAPTER  5 
The  tribes  anoint  David  king  over 
Israel.  6  He  takes  Zion  from  the 
Jebusites.  13  Eleven  sons  born  to 
him.  17,  22  He  smites  the  Philis- 
tines. 

THEN  came  all  the  tribes  of 
Is/ra-el  to  Dfi'vid  unto  He", 
bron,  and  spake,  saying,  Be- 
hold, we  are  tlry  bone  and  thy 
flesh. 

2  Also  in  time  past,  when  Saul 
was  king  over  us,  thou  wast  he 
that  leddest  out  and  broughtest 
in  Is'ra-el:  and  the  Lord  said 
to  thee,  Thou  shalt  feed  my 
people  Is'ra-el,  and  thou  shaft 
be  a  captain  over  ls/ra-el. 

3  So  all  the  elders  of  Is/ra-el 
came  to  the  king  to  Hebron; 
and  king  Dfi'yid  made  a  league 
with  them  in  He^bron  before 
the  Lord:  and  they  anointed 
Dfi'vid  king  over  Is'ra-el. 

4  Dfi'vid  was  thirty  years  old 
when  he  began  to  reign,  and 
he  reigned  forty  years. 

5  In  He^bron  he  reigned  over 
Jit'dah  seven  years  and  six 
months :  and  in  J&ru'sfi-lem  he 
reigned  thirty  and  three  years 
over  all  ls'ra-el  and  Jfl'dah, 

6  f  And  the  king  and  his  men 
went  to  JS-ru'sfi-lSm  unto  the 
Jgb'u-sites,  the  inhabitants  of 
the  land:  which  spake  unto 
Dfi'vid,  saying,  Except  thou 
take  away  the  blind  and  the 
lame,  thou  shalt  not  come  in 
hither :  thinking,  Dfi'vid  cannot 
come  in  hither. 

7  Nevertheless  Dfi'vid  took  the 
strong  hold  of  Zi'Bn :  the  same 
is  the  city  of  Dfi'vid. 

8  And  Dfi'vid  said  on  that  day, 
Whosoever  getteth  up  to  the 
gutter,  and  smiteth  the  JeVu-

sites,  and  the  lame  and  the 
blind,  that  are  hated  of  Dfi'- 
vid's  soul,  he  shall  be  chief 
and  captain.  Wherefore  they 
said,  The  blind  and  the  lame 
shall  not  come  into  the  house. 

9  So  Da'vid  dwelt  in  the  fort, 
and  called  it  the  city  of  Da'vid. 
And  Dfi'vid  built  round  about 
from  Mu"l5  and  inward. 

10  And  Da'vid  went  on,  and 
grew  great,  and  the  Lord  God 
of  hosts  was  with  him. 

11  ITAnd  Hi' ram  king  of  Ty*re 
sent  messengers  to  Da'vid,  and 
cedar  trees,  and  carpenters,  and 
masons:  and  they  built  Da'vid 
an  house. 

12  And  Dfi'vid  perceived  that 
the  Lord  had  established  him 
king  over  !s/ra-el,  and  that  he 
had  exalted  his  kingdom  for 
his  people  Is/ra-eFs  sake. 

13  t  And  Da'vid  took  him 
more  concubines  and  wives  out 
of  Je-ru'sfi-lem,  after  he  was 
come  from  He^bron :  and  there 
were  yet  sons  and  daughters 
born  to  Dft'vid. 

14  And  these  be  the  names  of 
those  that  were  born  unto  him 
in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  Shfim-mu'ah, 
and  Shd'bftb,  and  Na'than,  and 
SoTo-mon, 

15  Ib'har  also,  and  El-I-shu'a, 
and  Nfi'pheg,  and  Jfi-phi'a, 

16  And  £-Hsh'a-ma,  and  £-li'a- 
da.and£-Hph'a-l*t 

17  f  But  when  the  Phl-lls'tmes. 
heard  that  they  had  anointed 
Da'vid  king  over  Is/ra-el,  all  the 
Phi-lls'tlnea  came  up  to  seek 
Dft'vid ;  and  Da'vid  heard  of  it, 
and  went  down  to  the  hold. 

18  The  PhMis'tines  also  came 
and  spread  themselves  in  the 
valley  of  Reph'a-im. 

19  And  Da'vid  enquired  of  the 
Lord,  saying,  Shall  I  go  up  to 
the  Phl-lis'ttnes?  wilt  thou  de- 
liver them  into  mine  hand? 
And  the  Lord  said  unto  Da'vid, 
Go  up:  for  I  will  doubtless  de- 
liver the  Phi-lls'tinesinto  thine 
hand. 

20  And  Dft'vid  came  to  Bfi'- 
al-peVa-rim,  and  Dfi'vid  smote 
them  there,  and  said,  The  Lord 
hath  broken  forth  upon  mine 
enemies  before  me,  as  the 
breach  of  waters.  Therefore 
he  called  the  name  of  that 
place  Ba'al-peVa-zim. 

21  And  there  they  left  their 
images,  and  Dfi'vid  and  his  men 
burned  them. 

22  1  And  the  Phi-Hs'tines  came 
up  yet  again,  and  spread  them- 
selves in  the  valley  of  Re*phr 
a-Im. 

23  And  when  Da'vid  enquired 


of  the  Lord,  he  said,  Thou  shalt 
not  go  up ;  but  fetch  a  compass 
behind  them,  and  come  upon 
them  over  against  the  mulberry 
trees. 

24  And  let  it  be,  when  thou 
hearest  the  sound  of  a  going  in 
the  tops  of  the  mulberry  trees, 
that  then  thou  shalt  bestir  thy- 
self :  for  then  shall  the  Lord  go 
out  before  thee,  to  smite  the 
host  of  the  PhMis'tines. 

25  And  Dfi'vid  did  so,  as  the 
Lord  had  commanded  him; 
and  smote  the  PhMis'tines  from 
GS'ba  until  thou  come  to  Gfi'- 
z€r. 

CHAPTER  6 

David  fetches  the  ark  from  Kirjath- 
jearim  on  a  new  cart.  6  Utzah 
smitten.  12  David  afterward 
brings  the  ark  to  Zion.  20  MichaVs 
barrenness. 

AGAIN,  Dfi'vid  gathered  to- 
gether all  the  chosen  men 
of  Is/ra-el,  thirty  thousand. 

2  And  Dfi'vid  arose,  and  went 
with  all  the  people  that  were 
with  him  from  Bfi'al-e"  of  Jfi'- 
dah,  to  bring  up  from  thence 
the  ark  of  God,  whose  name  is 
called  by  the  name  of  the  Lord 
of  hosts  that  dwelleth  between 
the  cherubims. 

3  And  they  set  the  ark  of  God 
upon  a  new  cart,  and  brought  it 
out  of  the  house  of  A-bin  a-dfib 
that  was  in  Gfb'e-ah :  and  Oz'- 
zah  and  A-hi'5,  the  sons  of 
A-bin'a-dfib,  drave  the  new  cart. 

4  And  they  brought  it  out  of 
the  house  of  A-bln  a-dfib  which 
was  at  Gib'e-ah,  accompanying 
the  ark  of  God:  and  A-hi'6 
went  before  the  ark. 

5  And  Dfi'vid  and  all  the  house 
of  Ig'ra-el  played  before  the 
Lord  on  all  manner  of  instru- 
mentB  made  of  fir  wood,  even 
on  harps,  and  on  psalteries,  and 
on  timbrels,  and  on  cornets,  and 
on  cymbals. 

6  And  when  they  came  to 
Na'-ch5n's  threshingfloor,  Oz'- 
zah  put  forth  his  hand  to  the 
ark  of  God,  and  took  hold  of  it ; 
for  the  oxen  shook  it. 

7  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  tVzah ;  and 
God  smote  him  there  for  his  er- 
ror; and  there  he  died  by  the 
ark  of  God. 

8  And  Dfi'vid  was  displeased, 
because  the  Lord  had  made  a 
breach  upon  ftz'zah:  and  he 
called  the  name  of  the  place 
PS'rez-uz'zah  to  this  day. 

9  And  Dfi'vid  was  afraid  of  the 
Lord  that  day,  and  said,  How 
shall  the  ark  of  the  Lord  come 
to  me? 
"10  So  Dfi'vid  would  notremove

the  ark  of  the  Lord  unto  him 
into  the  city  of  Da'vid:  but 
Da'vid  carried  it  aside  into  the 
house  of  01>ed-e'dorn  the  Git'- 
tite. 

11  And  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
continued  in  the  house  of  Coed- 
e'dom  the  Gtt'tite  three  months 
and  the  Lord  blessed  01>ed- 
e'dom,  and  all  his  household. 

12  II  And  it  was  told  king  Da'- 
vid, saying,  The  Lord  hath 
blessed  the  house  of  O'bed- 
e'dom,  and  all  that  pertaineth 
unto  him,  because  of  the  ark 
of  God.  So  Da'vid  went  and 
brought  up  the  ark  of  God  from 
the  house  of  O'bed-g'dom  into 
the  city  of  Da'vid  with  gladness. 

13  And  it  was  8ot  that  when 
they  that  bare  the  ark  of  the 
Lord  had  gone  six  paces,  he 
sacrificed  oxen  and  fatlings. 

14  And  Da'vid  danced  before 
the  Lord  with  all  his  might ; 
and  Da'vid  was  girded  with  a 
linen  ephod. 

15  $o  Da'vid  and  all  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el  brought  up  the  ark 
of  the  Lord  with  shouting,  and 
with  the.  sound  of  the  trumpet 

16  And  as  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
came  into  the  city  of  Da'vid, 
Mi'chal  Raul's  daughter  looked 
through  a  window,  and  saw 
king  Da'vid  leaping  and  dancing 
before  the  Lord;  and  she  de- 
spised him  in  her  heart 

17  HAnd  they  brought  in  the 
ark  of  the  Lord,  and  set  it  in 
his  place,  in  the  midst  of  the 
tabernacle  that  Da'vid  had 
pitched  for  it;  and  Da'vid  of- 
fered burnt  offerings  and  peace 
offerings  before  the  Lord. 

18  And  as  soon  as  Da'vid  had 
made  an  *nd  of  offering  burnt 
offerings  and  peace  offerings, 
he  blessed  the  people  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

19  And  he  dealt  among  all  the 
people,  even  among  the  whole 
multitude  of  Ig'ra-el,  as  well  to 
the  women  as  men,  to  every 
one  a  cake  of  bread,  and  a  good 
piece  of  flesh,  and  a  flagon  of 
wine.  So  all  the  people  de- 
parted every  one  to  his  house. 

20  When  Da'vid  returned  to 
bless  his  household.  And  Mi' 
chal  the  daughter  of  Saul  came 
out  to  meet  Da'vid,  and  said, 
How  glorious  was  the  king  of 
Ifi'ra-eT  to  day,  who  uncovered 
himself  to  day  in  the  eyes  of  the 
handmaids  of  his  servants,  as 
one  of  the  vain  fellows  shame- 
lessly uncovereth  himself ! 

21  ^nd  Da'vid  said  unto  Mi'- 
chal, It  was  before  the  Lord, 
which   chose,  me  before  thy 


father,  and  before  all  his  house, 
to  appoint  me  ruler  over  the 
people  of  the  Lord,  over  Is'ra-el : 
therefore  will  I  play  before  the 
Lord. 

22  And  I  will  yet  be  more  vile 
than  thus,  and  will  be  base  in 
mine  own  sight:  and  of  the 
maidservants  which  thou  hast 
spoken  of,  of  them  shall  X  be 
had  in  honour. 

23  Therefore  Mi'chal  the 
daughter  of  Saul  had  no  child 
unto  the  day  of  her  death. 

CHAPTER  7 

Nathan  approves  the  purpose  of  Da» 
vid  to  build  God  an  house;  4  God 
appoints  his  successor  to  build  it 
18  David's  prayer  and  thanks- 
giving. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  king  sat  in  his  house, 
and  the  Lord  had  given  him 
rest  round  about  from  all  his 
enemies ; 

2  That  the  king  said  unto 
Na'than  the  prophet,  See  now, 
I  dwell  in  an  house  of  cedar* 
but  the  ark  of  God  dwelleth 
within  curtains. 

3  And  Na'than  said  to  the 
king,  Go,  do  all  that  is  in  thine 
heart;  for  the  Lord  is  with 
thee. 

4  IfAnd  it  came  to  pass  that 
night,  that  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  Na'than,  say- 
ing, 

5  Go  and  tell  my  servant  Da'- 
vid, Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Shalt 
thou  build  me  an  house  for  me 
to  dwell  in? 

6  Whereas  I  have  not  dwelt  in 
any  house  since  the  time  that 
I  brought  up  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  out  of  E'gypt,  even  to 
this  day,  but  have  walked  in  a 
tent  and  in  a  tabernacle. 

7  In  all  the  places  wherein  I 
have  walked  with  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  spake  I  a  word 
with  any  of  the  tribes  of  Is'ra- 
el,  whom  I  commanded  to  feed 
mjr  people  Is'ra-el,  saying,  Why 
build  ye  not  me  an  house  of 
cedar? 

8  Now  therefore  so  shalt  thou 
say  unto  my  servant  Da'vid, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  I 
took  thee  from  the  sheepcote, 
from  following  the  sheep,  to  be 
ruler  over  my  people,  over 
Is'ra-el : 

9  And  I  was  with  thee  whither- 
soever thou  wentest,  and  have 
cut  off  all  thine  enemies  out  of 
thy  sight,  and  have  made  thee 
a  great  name,  like  unto  the 
name  of  the  great  men  that 
are  in  the  earth.

place  for  my  people  Ig'ra-el,  and 
will  plant  tnem,  that  they  may 
dwell  in  a  place  of  their  own, 
and  move  no  more;  neither 
shall  the  children  of  wickedness 
afflict  them  any  more,  as  before- 
time, 

11  And  as  since  the  time  that 
I  commanded  judges  to  be  over 
my  people  Ig'ra-el,  and  have 
caused  thee  to  rest  from  all 
thine  enemies.  Also  the  Lord 
telleth  thee  that  he  will  make 
thee  an  house. 

12  And  when  thy  days  be  ful- 
filled, and  thou  shalt  sleep  with 
thy  fathers,  I  will  set  up  thy 
seed  after  thee,  which  shall 
proceed  out  of  thy  bowels,  and 
t  will  establish  his  kingdom. 

13  He  shall  build  an  house  for 
my  name,  and  I  will  stablish 
the  throne  of  his  kingdom  for 
ever. 

14  I  will  be  his  father,  and  he 
shall'  be  my  son.  If  he  commit 
iniquity,  I  will  chasten  him  with 
the  rod  of  men,  and  with  the 
stripes  of  the  children  of  men : 

15  But  my  mercy  shall  not  de- 
part away  from  him,  as  I  took  it 
from  Saul,  whom  I  put  away  be- 
fore thee. 

16  And  thine  house  and  thy 
kingdom  shall  be  established 
for  ever  before  thee:  thy  throne 
shall  be  established  for  ever. 

17  According  to  all  these 
words,  and  according  to  all 
this  vision,  so  did  Nfi'than 
speak  unto  Dfi'vid. 

18  IT  Then  went  king  Dfi'vid 
in,  and  sat  before  the  Lord, 
and  he  said,  Who  am  I,  O  Lord 
God?  and  what  is  my  house, 
that  thou  hast  brought  me 
hitherto? 

19  And  this  was  yet  a  small 
thing  in  thy  sight,  0  Lord  God  ; 
but  thou  hast  spoken  also  of 
thy  servant's  house  for  a  great 
while  to  come.  And  is  this  the 
manner  of  man,  O  Lord  God? 

20  And  what  can  Dfi'vid  say 
more  unto  thee?  for  thou,  Lord 
God,  knowest  thy  servant. 

21  Pot  thy  word's  sake,  and 
according  to  thine  own  heart, 
hast  thou  done  all  these  great 
things,  to  make  thy  servant 
know  them. 

22  Wherefore  thou  art  great, 
O  Lord  God :  for  there  is  none 
like  thee,  neither  is  there  any 
God  beside  thee,  according  to 
all  that'  we  have  heard  with 
our  ears. 

23  And  what  one  nation  in  the 
earth  is  like  thy  people,  even 


and  to  make  him  a  name,  and 
to  do  for  you  great  things  and 
terrible,  for  thy  land,  before  thy 
people,  which  thou  redeemedst 
to  thee  from  E'gjfpt,  from  the 
nations  and  their  gods? 

24  For  thou  hast  confirmed  to 
thyself  thy  people  Ig'ra-el  to  be 
a  people  unto  thee  for  ever: 
and  thou,  Lord,  art  become 
their  God. 

25  And  now,  0  Lord  God,  the 
word  that  thou  hast  spoken  con- 
cerning thy  servant,  and  con- 
cerning his  house,  establish  it 
for  ever,  and  do  as  thou  hast 
said. 

26  And  let  thy  name  be  mag- 
nified for  ever,  saying,  The 
Lord  of  hosts  is  the  God  over 
Ig'ra-el:  and  let  the  house  of 
thy  servant  Dfi'vid  be  estab- 
lished before  thee. 

27  For  thou,  0  Lord  of  hosts, 
God  of  Is/ra-el,  hast  revealed  to 
thy  servant,  saying,  I  will  build 
thee  an  house:  therefore  hath 
thy  servant  found  in  his  heart 
to  pray  this  prayer  unto  thee. 

28  And  now,  O  Lord  God,  thou 
art  that  God,  and  thy  words  be 
true,  and  thou  hast  promised 
this  goodness  unto  thy  servant : 

29  Therefore  now  let  it  please 
thee  to  bless  the  house  of  thy 
servant,  that  it  may  continue 
for  ever  before  thee :  for  thou, 
0  Lord  God,  hast  spoken  it: 
and  with  thy  blessing  let  the 
house  of  thy  servant  be  blessed 
for  ever. 

CHAPTER  8 

David  euhduee  the  Philietinea,  and 
makes  the  Moabitee  tributary:  3 
he  emites  Hadadezer  and  the  Syr- 
ian*: IS- hi*  reign* 

AND  after  this  it  came  to 
pass,  that  Dfi'vid  smote  the 
Phi-lis'tines.,  and  subdued  them : 
and  Dfi'vid  took  Me'theg-ftm'- 
mah  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
Phl-Hs'tlnea. 

2  And  he  smote  MO'ab,  and 
measured  them  with  a  line,  cast- 
ing them  down  to  the  ground ; 
even  with  two  lines  measured 
he  to  put  to  death,  and  with 
one  full  line  to  keep  alive.  And 
so  the  Md'ab-ites  became  Dfi'- 
vid's  servants,  and  brought 
gifts. 

3  fDfi'vid  smote  also  Hfid-ad- 
c'zer,  the  son  of  Re"hftb,  king  of 
Zd"Dah,  as  he  went  to  recover 
his  border  at  the  river  Efl-

5  And  when  the  SJrl-ans.  of 
Dfi-mas'cus  came  to  succour 
Had-ad-e'zer  king  of  ZS'bah,  Dfi'- 
vid  slew  of  the  SJrl-ang  two 
and  twenty  thousand  men. 

6  Then  Da'vid  put  garrisons 
in  SJrl-a  of  Dfi-mas'cus:  and 
the  Syrl-ana  became  servants 
to  Da'vid,  and,  brought  gifts. 
And  the  Lord  preserved  Da'vid 
whithersoever  he  went 

7  And  Da'vid  took  the  shields 
of  gold  that  were  on  the  serv- 
ants of  Hid-ad-6'zer,  and  brought 
them  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

8  And  from  Be'tah,  and  from 
Ber-o-thai,  cities  of  Hfid-ad-T- 
zer,  king  Da'vid  took  exceeding 
much  brass. 

9  IT  When  T<n  king  of  Ha'- 
math  heard  that  Da'vid  had 
smitten  all  the  host  of  Hfid-ad- 
6'z€r, 

10  Then  T51  sent  Jft'ram  his 
son  unto  king  Da'vid,  to  salute 
him,  and  to  bless  him,  because 
he  had  fought  against  HacL-ad- 
e"«8r,  and  smitten  him:  for 
Hfid-ad-£'zer  had  wars  with  T51. 
And  Jo'ram  brought  with  him 
vessels  of  silver,  and  vessels  of 
gold,  and  vessels  of  brass: 

11  Which  also  king  Da'vid  did 
dedicate  unto  the  Lord,  with 
the  silver  and  gold  that  he  had 
dedicated  of  all  nations  which 
he  subdued; 

12  Of  Syrl-a,  and  of  Mfi'ab, 
and  of  the  children  of  Am'mdn, 
and  of  the  PhMis'tines,  and  of 
Am'a-lSk,  and  of  the  spoil  of 
Hfid-ad-?zgr,  son  of  R?hdb, 
king  of  ZS'bah. 

13  And  Da'vid  gat  him  a  name 
when  he  returned  from  smiting 
of  the  SJrrT-ans  in  the  valley  of 
salt,  being  eighteen  thousand 
men. 

14  HAnd  he  put  garrisons  in 
E'dom;  throughout  all  E'dora 
put  he  garrisons,  and  all  they 
of  E'dom  became  Dfi'vid's  serv- 
ants. And  the  Lord  preserved 
Da'vid  whithersoever  he  went 

15  And  Da'vid  reigned  over 
all  Is/ra-el ;  and  Da'vid  executed 
judgment  and  justice  unto  all 
his  people. 

16  And  JQ'fib  the  son  of  ZSr- 
u-i'ah  was  over  the  host;  and 
JS-hdsh'a-phfit  the  son  of  A-hi'- 
lud  was  recorder; 

17  And  Za'dfik  the  son  of  A-hi' 
tub,  and  A-hlm'e-lech  the  son 
of  A-bl'a-thar,  were  the  priests ; 
and  Ser-a-i'ah  was  the  scribe ; 

18  And  Be-na'iah  the  son  of 
J£-hoi'a-da  was  ever  both  the 
CheTe-thites    and    the    PeTe- 


thites;  and  Da'vid's  sons  were 
chief  rulers. 

CHAPTER  9 

David  tends  for  Mephiboeheth,  7  en- 
tertains him  at  hie  table.  9  and  re- 
stores  him  all  thatioasSaul'e. 

AND  Da'vid  said,  Is  there  yet 
any  that  is  left  of  the 
house  of  Saul,  that  I  may  shew 
him  kindness  for  J&n'a-than's 
sake? 

2  And  there  was  of  the  house 
of  Saul  a  servant  whose  name 
was  Zfba.  And  when  they 
had  called  him  unto  Da'vid,  the 
king  said  unto  him,  Art  thou 
Zrba?  And  he  said,  Thy  serv- 
ant is  he. 

3  And  the  king  said,  la  there 
not  yet  any  of  the  house  of 
Saul,  that  I  may  shew  the  kind- 
ness of  God  unto  him?  And 
Zrba  said  unto  the  king,  J6n'< 
than  hath  yet  a  son,  which  is 
lame  on  his  feet 

4  And  the  king  said  unto  him, 
Where  is  he?  And  Zfba  said 
unto  the  king,  Behold,  he  is  in 
the  house  of  Mfi'chir,  the  son  of 
Am'mi-el,  in  Lft-de'bar. 

5  Then  king  Da'vid  sent  and 
fetched  him  out  of  the  house  of 
Ma'chir,  the  son  of  Am'ml-el, 
from  Ld-drbar. 

6  Now  when  M$-phib'o-sh£th, 
the  son  of  Jonathan,  the  son 
of  Saul,  was  come  unto  Da'vid, 
he  fell  on  his  face,  and  did  rev- 
erence. And  Da'vid  said,  M&- 
phib'OHsheth.  And  he  answered. 
Behold  thy  servant! 

7  1  And  Da'vid  said  unto  him, 
Fear  not :  for  I  will  surely  shew 
thee  kindness  for  Jdn  a-than 
thy  father's  sake,  and  will  re- 
store thee  all  the  land  of  Saul 
thy  father;  and  thou  shalt  eat 
bread  at  my  table  continually. 

8  And  he  bowed  himself,  and 
said,  What  is  thy  servant  that 
thou  shouldest  look  upon  such 
a  dead  dog  as  I  amf 

9  HThen  the  king  called  to 
ZTba,  Saul's  servant  and  said 
unto  him,  I  have  given  unto 
thy  master's  son  all  that  per- 
tained to  Saul  and  to  all  his 
house. 

10  Thou  therefore,  and  thy 
sons,  and  thy  servants,  shall  till 
the  land  for  him,  and  thou  shalt 
bring  in  the  fruits,  that  thy 
master's  son  may  have  food  to 
eat:  but  MS-phib'o-shSth  thy 
master's  son  shall  eat  bread  al- 
way  at  my  table.  Now  ZTba 
had  fifteen  sons  and  twenty 
servants. 

11  Then  said  Zi'ba  unto  the 
king,  According  to  all  that  my 
lord  the  king  hath  commanded

CHAPTER  10 

David's  messenger*  sent  to  comfort

6  The  Ammonite*  overcome*  15  The 
Syrian*  defeated. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after 
this,  that  the  king  of  the 
children  of  Am'mdn  died,  and 
Ha'nun  his  son  reigned  in  his 
stead. 

2  Then  said  Da'vid,  I  will 
shew  kindness  unto  Ha'nun  the 
son  of  NaliSsh,  as  his  father 
shewed  kindness  unto  me.  And 
Da'vid  sent  to  comfort  him  by 
the  hand  of  his  servants  for  his 
father.  And  DS'vid's  servants 
came  into  the  land  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mdn. 

3  And  the  princes  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mfin  said  unto  HT- 
nun  their  lord,  Thinkest  thou 
that  Da'vid  doth  honour  thy 
father,  that  he  hath  sent  com- 
forters unto  thee?  hath  not 
Da'vid  rather  sent  his  servants 
unto  thee,  to  search  the  city, 
and  to  spy  it  out,  and  to  over- 
throw it 

4  Wherefore  Ha'nun  took  Da'- 
vid's  servants,  and  shaved  off 
the  one  half  of  their  beards, 
and  cut  off  their  garments  in 
the  middle,  even  to  their  but- 
tocks, and  sent  them  away. 

5  When  they  told  it  unto  Da'- 
vid, he  sent  to  meet  them,  be- 


of  the  gate:  and  the  S^rl-ans. 
of  Zo'ba,  and  of  Relifib,  and 
Ish'-tfib,  and  Ma'a-cah,  were  by 
themselves  in  the  field. 

9  When  JS'ftb  saw  that  the 
front  of  the  battle  was  against 
him  before  and  behind,  he 
chose  of  all  the  choice  men  of 
Ia'ra-el,  and  put  them  in  array 
against  the  Syrl-ans. : 

10  And  the  rest  of  the  people 
he  delivered  into  the  hand  of 
A-bish'a-i  his  brother,  that  he 
might  put  themin  array  against 
the  children  of  Am'mfin. 

11  And  he  said,  If  the  Syri- 
ans be  too  strong  for  me,  then 
thou  shalt  help  me :  but  if  the 
children  of  Am'mfin  be  too 
strong  for  thee,  then  I  will 
come  and  helD  thee. 

12  Be  of  good  courage,  and  let 
us  play  the  men  for  our  people, 
and  for  the  cities  of  our  Cod: 
and  the  Lord  do  that  which 
seemeth  him  good. 

13  And  Jfi'ab  drew  nigh,  and 
the  people  that  were  with  him, 
unto  the  battle  against  the 
Syrf-ang:  and  they  fled  before 
him. 

14  And  when  the  children  of 
Am'mfin  saw  that  the  SjFrl-ans 
were  fled,  then  fled  they  also 
before  A-bish'a-i,  and  entered 
into  the  city.  So  Jfi'ab  returned 
from  the  children  of  Am'mfin, 
and  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lfim. 

15  lAnd  when  the  Syrl-ans. 
saw  that  they  were  smitten 
before  Ig'ra-el,  they  gathered 
themselves  together. 

16  And  Had-ar-e'zer  sent,  and 
brought  out  the  Syrl-ans.  that 
were  beyond  the  river:  and 
they  came  to  Helam ;  and  Shfi' 
bfich  the  captain  of  the  host 
of  Had-ar-e'zer  went  before 
them. 

17  And  when  it  was  told  Da'- 
vid, he  gathered  all  Ig'ra-el  to- 

cause  the  men  were  greatly  gether,  and  passed  over  Jdr'- 
ashamed :  and  the  kins  said,  dan,  and  came  to  Helam.    And 

the  Syrl-ana  set  themselves  in 
array  against  Da'vid,  and  fought 
with  him. 

18  And  the  Syrl-ans  fled  be- 
fore Ia'ra-el;  and  Da'vid  slew 
the  men  of  seven  hundred  char- 
iots of  the  Syrl-ana,  and  forty 
thousand  horsemen,  and  smote 
Shfi'bach  the  captain  of  their 
host,  who  died  there. 

19  And  when  all  the  kings 
that  were  servants  to  Hfid-ar- 
€'z€r  saw  that  they  were  smitten 
before  Ia'ra-el,  they  made  peace 
with  Is'ra-el,  and  served  them. 
So  the  Syrl-ans  feared  to  help 
the  children  of  Am'mfin  any 
more. 


Tarry  at  JfitTchfi  until  your 
beards  be  grown,  and  then  re- 
turn. 

6  1f  And  when  the  children  of 
Am'mfin  saw  that  they  stank 
before  Da'vid,  the  children  of 
Am'mfin  sent  and  hired  the 
Syrians  of  Bfith-rrhfib,  and 
the  Syrl-ans  Of  Z5l>a,  twenty 
thousand  footmen,  and  of  king 
Mfi'a-cah  a  thousand  men,  and  of 
Ish'-tfib  twelve  thousand  men. 

7  And  when  Da'vid  heard  of 
it,  he  sent  Jfi'ab,  and  all  the 
host  of  the  mighty  men. 

8  And  the  children  of  Am'- 
mfin came  out,  and  put  the  bat- 
tle in  array  at  the  entering  in

CHAPTER  11 
Joab  besieges  Rabbah.   2  David  com- 
mits adultery  with  Bath-sheba.    17 
Uriah  is  slain.    26  David   takes 
Bath-sheba  to  wife. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  after 
the  year  was  expired,  at 
the  time  when  kings  go  forth 
to  battle,  that  Da'vid  sent  Jft'ib, 
and  his  servants  with  him,  and 
all  Is'ra-el ;  and  they  destroyed 
the  children  of  Am'mdn,  and 
besieged  RaVbah.  But  Da'vid 
tarried  still  at  JS-ru'sfi-lem. 

2  HAnd  it  came  to  pass  in  an 
eveningtide,  that  Da'vid  arose 
from  off  his  bed,  and  walked 
upon  the  roof  of  the  king's 
house:  and  from  the  roof  he 
saw  a  woman  washing  herself; 
and  the  woman  was  very  beau- 
tiful to  look  upon. 

3  And  Da'vid  sent  and  en- 
quired after  the  woman.  And 
one  said,  7*  not  this  Bfith'-shfe* 
ba,  the  daughter  of  £-li'am,  the 
wife  of  U-ri'ah  the  Hiftite? 

4  And  Da'vid  sent  messengers, 
and  took  her ;  and  she  came  in 
unto  him,  and  he  lay  with  her; 
for  she  was  purified  from  her 
uncleanness:  and  she  returned 
unto  her  house. 

5  And  the  woman  conceived, 
and  sent  and  told  Di'vid,  and 
said,  I  am  with  child. 

6  And  Da'vid  sent  to  Jd'fib, 
saying,  Send  me  U-ri'ah  the 
Hiftite.  And  J6'8b  sent  U-ri'ah 
to  DS'vid. 

7  And  when  U-ri'ah  was  come 
unto  him,  DS'vid  demanded  of 
him  how  JS'Sb  did,  and  how  the 
people  did,  and  how  the  war 
prospered. 

8  And  Da'vid  said  to  U-ri'ah, 
Go  down  to  thy  house,  and 
wash  thy  feet  And  U-ri'ah 
departed  out  of  the  king's  house, 
and  there  followed  him  a  mess 
of  meat  from  the  king. 

9  But  U-ri'ah  slept  at  the  door 
of  the  king's  house  with  all  the 
servants  of  his  lord,  and  went 
not  down  to  his  house. 

10  And  when  they  had  told 
Di'vid,  saying,  U-ri  ah  went  not 
down  unto  his  house,  Da'vid  said 
unto  U-ri'ah,  Camest  thou  not 
from  thy  journey?  why  then 
didst  thou  not  go  down  unto 
thine  house? 

11  And  U-ri'ah  said  unto  Da'- 
vid, The  ark,  and  ls'ra-el,  and 
Ju'dah,  abide  in  tents ;  and  my 
lord  J6'ab,  and  the  servants  of 
my  lord,  are  encamped  in  the 
open  fields;  shall  I  then  go  into 
mine  house,  to  eat  and  to  drink, 
and  to  lie  with  my  wife?  as 
thou  livest,  and  as  thy  soul  liv- 
eth,  I  will  not  do  this  thing. 

324 


12  And  Da'vid  said  to  U-ri'ah, 
Tarry  here  to  day  also,  and  to 
morrow  I  will  let  thee  depart 
So  U-ri'ah  abode  in  Jfr-ru'sa- 
lem  that  day,  and  the  morrow. 

13  And  when  Da'vid  had  called 
him,  he  did  eat  and  drink  before 
him ;  and  he  made  him  drunk : 
and  at  even  he  went  out  to  lie 
on  his  bed  with  the  servants  of 
his  lord,  but  went  not  down  to 
his  house. 

14  IT  And  it  came  to  pass  in 
the  morning,  that  Da'vid  wrote 
a  letter  to  Td"&b,  and  sent  it  by 
the  hand  of  U-ri'ah. 

15  And  he  wrote  in  the  letter, 
saying,  Set  ye  U-ri'ah  in  the 
forefront  of  the  hottest  battle, 
and  retire  ye  from  him,  that  he 
may  be  smitten,  and  die. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Jd'ab  observed  the  city,  that  he 
assigned  U-ri'ah  unto  a  place 
where  he  knew  that  valiant 
men  were. 

17  And  the  men  of  the  city 
went  out,  and  fought  with  Jd'ab: 
and  there  fell  some  of  the  peo- 
ple of  the  servants  of  Da'vid ; 
and  U-ri'ah  the  Hiftite  died  also. 

18  1  Then  Jo'&b  sent  and  told 
Da'vid  all  the  things  concern- 
ing the  war; 

19  And  charged  the  messen- 
ger, saying,  When  thou  hast 
made  an  end  of  telling  the  mat- 
ters of  the  war  unto  the  king, 

20  And  if  so  be  that  the  king's 
wrath  arise,  and  he  say  unto 
thee.  Wherefore  approached  ye 
so  nigh  unto  the  aty  when  ye 
did  fight?  knew  ye  not  that 
they  would  shoot  from  the  wall  ? 

21  Who  smote  Alrim'e-lech  the 
son  of  JS-rub'be-she'th?  did  not 
a  woman  cast  a  piece  of  a  mill- 
stone upon  him  from  the  wall, 
that  he  died  in  Thrbez?  why 
went  ye  nigh  the  wall  ?  then  say 
thou,  Thy  servant  U-ri'ah  the 
Hiftite  is  dead  also. 

22  f  So  the  messenger  went, 
and  came  and  shewed  Da'vid 
all  that  Jd'ab  had  sent  him  for. 

23  And  the  messenger  said  un- 
to Da'vid,  Surely  the  men  pre- 
vailed against  us,  and  came  out 
unto  us  into  the  field,  and  we 
were  upon  them  even  unto  the 
entering  of  the  gate. 

24  And  the  shooters  shot  from 
off  the  wall  upon  thy  servants ; 
and  some  of  the  king's  servants 
be  dead,  and  thy  servant  U-ri'ah 
the  Hiftite  is  dead  also. 

25  Then  Da'vid  said  unto  the 
messenger,  Thus  shalt  thou  say 
unto  Jd'ab,  Let  not  this  thing 
displease  thee,  for  the  sword  de- 
voureth  one  as  well  as  another

26  IT  And  when  the  wife  of 
U-ri'ah  heard  that  U-ri'ah  her 
husband  was  dead,  she  mourned 
for  her  husband. 

27  And  when  the  mourning 
was  past,  Da'vid  sent  and  fetched 
her  to  his  house,  and  she  became 
his  wife,  and  bare  him  a  son. 
But  the  thing  that  Da'vid  had 
done  displeased  the  Lord.

David,  who  confesaee  hie  sin,  and 
i»  pardoned.  2A  Solomon  ie  born. 
26  Rabbah  ie  taken. 

AND  the  Lord  sent  Na'than 
unto  Da'vid.  And  he  came 
unto  him,  and  said  unto  him, 
There  were  two  men  in  one 
city ;  the  one  rich,  and  the  other 
poor. 

2  The  rich  man  had  exceeding 
many  flocks  and  herds : 

3  But  the  poor  man  had  noth- 
ing, save  one  little  ewe  lamb, 
which  he  had  bought  and  nour- 
ished up:  and  it  grew  up  to- 
gether with  him,  and  with  his 
children ;  it  did  eat  of  his  own 
meat,  and  drank  of  his  own  cup, 
and  lay  in  his  bosom,  and  was 
unto  him  as  a  daughter. 

4  And  there  came  a  traveller 
unto  the  rich  man,  and  he  spared 
to  take  of  his  own  flock  and  of 
his  own  herd,  to  dress  for  the 
wayfaring  man  that  was  come 
unto  him;  but  took  the  poor 
man's  lamb,  and  dressed  it  for 
the  man  that  was  come  to  him. 

5  And  Dfi'vid'a  anger  was 
greatly  kindled  against  the 
man;  and  he  said  to  Na'than, 
As  the  Lord  hveth,  the  man 
that  hath  done  this  thing  shall 
surely  die : 

6  Aid  he  shall  restore  the 
lamb  fourfold,  because  he  did 
this  thing,  and  because  he  had 
no  pity. 

7  IT  And  Na'than  said  to  Da'- 
vid, Thou  art  the  man.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is/ra-el, 
I  anointed  thee  king  over  ls> 
ra-el,  and  I  delivered  thee  out 
of  the  hand  of  Saul ; 

8  And  I  gave  thee  thy  mas- 
ter's house,  and  thy  master's 
wives  into  thy  bosom,  and  gave 
thee  the  house  of  ls'ra*el  and 
of  Ju'dah;  and  if  that  had 
been  too  little,  I  would  more- 
over have  given  unto  thee  such 
and  such  things. 

9  Wherefore  hast  thou  de- 
spised the  commandment  of 
the  Lord,  to  do  evil  in  his 
sight?  thou  hast  killed  U-ri'ah 


the  ffit'tite  with  the  sword, 
and  hast  taken  his  wife  to  be 
thy  wife,  and  hast  slain  him 
with  the  sword  of  the  children 
of  Anr'mdn. 

10  Now  therefore  the  sword 
shall  never  depart  from  thine 
house;  because  thou  hast  de- 
spised me,  and  hast  taken  the 
wife  of  U-ri'ah  the  ffiftite  to 
be  thy  wife. 

11  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Be- 
hold, I  will  raise  up  evil  against 
thee  out  of  thine  own  house, 
and  I  will  take  thy  wives  be- 
fore thine  eyes,  and  give  them 
unto  thy  neighbour,  and  he 
shall  lie  with  thy  wives  in  the 
sight  of  this  sun. 

12  For  thou  didst  it  secretly: 
but  I  will  do  this  thing  before 
all  Is'ra-el,  and  before  the  sun. 

13  And  Dfi'vid  said  unto  Na'- 
than, I  have  sinned  against  the 
Lord.  And  Na'than  said  unto 
Da'vid,  The  Lord  also  hath  put 
away  thy  sin;  thou  shalt  not 
die. 

14  Howbeit,  because  by  this 
deed  thou  hast  given  great  oc- 
casion to  the  enemies  of  the 
Lord  to  blaspheme,  the  child 
also  that  is  born  unto  thee 
shall  surely  die. 

15  f  And  Na'than  departed  un- 
to his  house.  And  the  Lord 
struck  the  child  that  U-ri'ah's 
wife  bare  unto  Da'vid,  and  it 
was  very  sick. 

16  Da'vid  therefore  besought 
God  for  the  child;  and  Da'vid 
fasted,  and  went  in,  and  lay  all 
night  upon  the  earth. 

17  And  the  elders  of  his  house 
arose,  and  went  to  him,  to  raise 
him  up  from  the  earth :  but  he 
would  not,  neither  did  he  eat 
bread  with  them. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass  on 
the  seventh  day,  that  the  child 
died.  And  the  servants  of  Da'- 
vid feared  to  tell  him  that  the 
child  was  dead :  for  they  said, 
Behold,  while  the  child  was  yet 
alive,  we  spake  unto  him,  and 
he  would  not  hearken  unto  our 
voice:  how  will  he  then  vex 
himself,  if  we  tell  him  that  the 
child  is  dead? 

19  But  when  Da'vid  saw  that 
his  servants  whispered,  Da'vid 
perceived  that  the  child  was 
dead:  therefore  Da'vid  said 
unto  his  servants,  Is  the  child 
dead?  And  they  said,  He  is 
dead. 

20  Then  Da'vid  arose  from  the 
earth,  and  washed,  and  anointed 
himself,  and  changed  his  ap- 
parel, and  came  into  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  worshipped :

then  he  came  to  his  own  house ; 
and  when  he  required,  they  set 
bread  before  him,  and  he  did 
eat 

21  Then  said  his  servants  un- 
to him,  What  thing  is  this  that 
thou  hast  done  ?  thou  didst  fast 
and  weep  for  the  child,  while 
it  was  alive;  but  when  the 
child  was  dead,  thou  didst  rise 
and  eat  bread. 

22  And  he  said,While  the  child 
was  yet  alive,  I  fasted  and  wept : 
for  I  said,  Who  can  tell  whether 
God  will  be  gracious  to  me,  that 
the  child  may  live? 

23  But  now  he  is  dead,  where- 
fore should  I  fast?  can  I  bring 
him  back  again  ?  I  shall  go  to 
him,  but  he  shall  not  return  to 
me. 

24  IT  And  DS'vid  comforted 
Bfith'-shS-ba  his  wife,  and  went 
in  unto  her,  and  lay  with  her: 
and  she  bare  a  son,  and  he 
called  his  name  Sdl'o-mon :  and 
the  Lord  loved  him. 

25  And  he  sent  by  the  hand 
of  Na'than  the  prophet ;  and  he 
called  his  name  Jgd-i-di'ah,  be- 
cause of  the  Lord. 

26  IT  And  Jd'Sb  fought  against 
RaVbah  of  the  children  of  Am'- 
m6n,  and  took  the  royal  city. 

27  And  Jo'ab  sent  messen- 
gers to  DS'vid,  and  said,  I  have 
fought  against  R&b'bah,  and 
have  taken  the  city  of  waters. 

28  Now  therefore  gather  the 
rest  of  the  people  together,  and 
encamp  against  the  city,  and 
take  it :  lest  I  take  the  city,  and 
it  be  called  after  my  name. 

29  And  Da'vid  gathered  all  the 
people  together,  and  went  to 
Rfib'bah,  and  fought  against  it, 
and  took  it 

30  And  he  took  their  king's 
crown  from  off  his  head,  the 
weight  whereof  was  a  talent  of 
gold  with  the  precious  stones : 
and  it  was  set  on  Da'vid's  head. 
And  he  brought  forth  the  spoil 
of  the  city  in  great  abundance. 

31  And  he  brought  forth  the 
people  that  were  therein,  and 

Kut  them  under  saws,  and  under 
arrows  of  iron,  and  under  axes 
of  iron,  and  made  them  pass 
through  the  brick-kiln:  and 
thus  did  he  unto  all  the  cities 
of  the  children  of  Am'mdn.  So 
Da'vid  and  all  the  people  re- 
turned unto  JS-ru'sS-fem. 

CHAPTER  13 
Amnon  loves  Tamar:  6  he  defile* 
her.    28  Amnon  is  slain.    37  Ab- 
salom fiees  to  Ttdmai. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after 
this,    that    Ab'sa-ldm  the 
son  of  Da'vid  had  a  fair  sister, 


whose  name  was  Ta'mar;  and 
Am'ndn  the  son  of  Da'vid  loved 
her. 

2  And  Am'ndn  was  so  vexed, 
that  he  fell  sick  for  his  sister 
Ta'mar;  for  she  was  a  virgin; 
and  Am'ndn  thought  it  hard  for 
him  to  do  any  thing  to  her. 

3  But  Am'ndn  had  a  friend, 
whose  name  was  Jdn'a-dftb,  the 
son  of  Shim'*ah  Da'vid's  broth 
er:  and  J6n'a-dab  was  a  very 
subtil  man. 

4  And  he  said  unto  him,  Why 
art  thou,  being  the  king's  son, 
lean  from  day  to  day  ?  wilt  thou 
not  tell  me  ?  And  Am'ndn  said 
unto  him,  I  love  Ta'mar,  my 
brother  Ab'sa-ldm's  sister. 

5  And  Jdn'a-dfib  said  unto  him, 
Lay  thee  down  on  thy  bed,  and 
make  thyself  sick:  and  when 
thy  father  cometh  to  see  thee, 
say  unto  him,  I  pray  thee,  let 
my  sister  Ta'mar  come,  and  give 
me  meat  and  dress  the  meat  in 
my  sight,  that  I  may  see  it,  and 
eat  it  at  her  hand. 

6  So  Am'ndn  lav  down,  and 
made  himself  sick:  and  when 
the  king  was  come  to  see  him, 
Am'ndn  said  unto  the  king,  I 
pray  thee,  let  Ta'mar  my  sister 
come,  and  make  me  a  couple  of 
cakes  in  my  sight  that  I  may 
eat  at  her  hand. 

7  Then  Dft'vid  sent  home  to 
Ta'mar,  saying,  Go  now  to  thy 
brother  Xm'ndn's  house,  and 
dress  him  meat 

8  So  Ta'mar  went  to  her  broth- 
er Am'ndn's  house ;  and  he  was 
laid  down.  And  she  took  flour, 
and  kneaded  it,  and  made  cakes 
in  his  sight  and  did  bake  the 
cakes. 

9  And  she  took  a  pan,  and 
poured  them  out  before  him; 
but  he  refused  to  eat  And 
Am'ndn  said,  Have  out  all  men 
from  me.  And  they  went  out 
every  man  from  him. 

10  And  Am'ndn  said  unto  Ta' 
mar,  Bring  the  meat  into  the 
chamber,  that  I  may  eat  of  thine 
hand.  And  Ta'mar  took  the 
cakes  which  she  had  made,  and 
brought  them  into  the  chamber 
to  Am'ndn  her  brother. 

11  And  when  she  had  brought 
them  unto  him  to  eat  he  took 
hold  of  her,  and  said  unto  her, 
Come  lie  with  me,  my  sister. 

12  And  she  answered  him, 
Nay,  my  brother,  do  not  force 
me ;  for  no  such  thing  ought  to 
be  done  in  Is/ra-el :  do  not  thou 
this  folly. 

13  And  I,  whither  shall  I  cause 
my  shame  to  go?  and  as  for 
thee,  thou  shalt  be  as  one  of  the

fools  in  Is/ra-el.  Now  therefore, 
I  pray  thee,  speak  unto  the  king ; 
for  he  will  not  withhold  me  from 
thee. 

14  Howbeit  he  would  not 
hearken  unto  her  voice:  but, 
being  stronger  than  she,  forced 
her,  and  lay  with  her. 

15  If  Then  Am'non  hated  her 
exceedingly ;  so  that  the  hatred 
wherewith  he  hated  her  was 

greater  than  the  love  wherewith 
e  had  loved  her.    And  Am'nSn 
said  unto  her,  Arise,  be  gone. 

16  And  she  said  unto  him, 
There  is  no  cause :  this  evil  in 
sending  me  away  is  greater 
than  the  other  that  thou  didst 
unto  me.  But  he  would  not 
hearken  unto  her. 

17  Then  he  called  his  servant 
that  ministered  unto  him,  and 
said,  Put  now  this  woman  out 
from  me,  and  bolt  the  door  after 
her. 

18  And  she  had  a  garment  of 
divers  colours  upon  her:  for 
with  such  robes  were  the  king's 
daughters  that  were  virgins 
apparelled.  Then  his  servant 
brought  her  out  and  bolted  the 
door  after  her. 

19  UAnd  Tft'mar  put  ashes  on 
her  head,  and  rent  her  garment 
of  divers  colours  that  was  on 
her,  and  laid  her  hand  on  her 
head,  and  went  on  crying. 

20  And  Ab'sa-ldm  her  brother 
said  unto  her,  Hath  Am'n5n  thy 
brother  been  with  thee?  but 
hold  now  thy  peace,  my  sister: 
he  is  thy  brother;  regard  not 
this  thing.  So  Ta'mar  remained 
desolate  in  her  brother  Ab'sa- 
lom's  house. 

21  %  But  when  king  DS'vid 
heard  of  all  these  things,  he 
was  verv  wroth. 

22  And  Ab'sa-15m  spake  unto 
his   brother   Am'ndn     neither 

od  nor  bad:   for  Ab'sa-15m 
ted  Am"  n5n,  because  he  had 
forced  his  sister  Ta'mar. 

23  1  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
two  full  years,  that  Ab'sa-ldm 
had  sheepshearers  in  Bfi'al-hfi'- 
zdr,  which  is  beside  CphrS-Im : 
and  Ab'sa-ldm  invited  all  the 
king's  sons. 

24  And  Ab'sa-ldm  came  to  the 
king,  and  said,  Behold  now,  thy 
servant  hath  sheepshearers ;  let 
the  king,  I  beseech  thee,  and  his 
servants  go  with  thy  servant 

25  And  the  king  said  to  Ab'sa- 
10m,  Nay,  my  son,  let  us  not  all 
now  go,  lest  we  be  chargeable 
unto  thee.  And  he  pressed  him : 
howbeit  he  would  not  go,  but 
blessed  him. 

26  Then  said  Ab'sa-16m,  If  not 


I  pray  thee,  let  my  brother  Am'- 
ndn go  with  us.  And  the  king 
said  unto  him,  Why  should  he  go 
with  thee? 

27  But  Ab'sa-ldm  pressed  him, 
that  he  let  Am'ndn  and  all  the 
king's  sons  go  with  him. 

28  IfNow  Ab'sa-ldm  had  com- 
manded his  servants,  saying, 
Mark  ye  now  when  Am'ndn  s 
heart  is  merry  with  wine,  and 
when  I  say  unto  you,  Smite 
Am'ndn ;  then  kill  him,  fear 
not:  have  not  I  commanded 
you?  be  courageous,  and  be 
valiant 

29  And  the  servants  of  Ab'sa- 
ldm  did  unto  Am'ndn  as  Ab'sa- 
ldm  had  commanded.  Then  all 
the  king's  sons  arose,  and  every 
man  gat  him  up  upon  his  mule, 
and  fled. 

30  IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  while 
they  were  in  the  way,  that  ti- 
dings came  to  Dft'vid,  saying, 
Ab'sa-ldm  hath  slain  all  the 
king's  sons,  and  there  is  not 
one  of  them  left 

31  Then  the  king  arose,  and 
tare  his  garments,  and  lay  on  the 
earth ;  and  all  his  servants  stood 
by  with  their  clothes  rent 

32  And  Jdn'a-dSb,  the  son  of 
Shim'e-ah  Da'vid's  brother,  an- 
swered  and  said,  Let  not  my 
lord  suppose  that  they  have 
slain  all  the  young  men  the 
king's  sons;  for  Am'ndn  only 
is  dead :  for  by  the  appointment 
of  Ab'sa-ldm  this  hath  been  de- 
termined from  the  day  that  he 
forced  his  sister  Tfi'mar. 

33  Now  therefore  let  not  my 
lord  the  king  take  the  thing  to 
his  heart,  to  think  that  all  the 
king's  sons  are  dead :  for  Am'- 
ndn only  is  dead. 

34  But  Ab'sa-ldm  fled.  And 
the  young  man  that  kept  the 
watch  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and 
looked,  and,  behold,  there  came 
much  people  by  the  way  of  the 
hill  side  behind  him. 

35  And  Jdn'a-dab  said  unto  the 
king,  Behold,  the  king's  sons 
come:  as  thy  servant  said,  so 
it  is. 

36  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon 
as  he  had  made  an  end  of  speak- 
ing, that  behold,  the  king's  sons 
came,  and  lifted uptheir  voice 
and  wept :  and  the  king  also  and 
all  his  servants  wept  very  sore. 

37  %  But  Ab'sa-ldm  fled,  and 
went  to  TaTmai,  the  son  of  Am- 
mlTiud.  king  of  Ge'shttr.  And 
Da'vid  mourned  for  his  son 
every  day. 

38  So  Ab'sa-ldm  fled,  and  went 
to  GS'shur,  and  was  there  three 
years.

39  AndtfcesottJo/kingDa'vid 
longed  to  go  forth  unto  Ab'sa- 
15m :  for  he  was  comforted  con- 
cerning Am'nSn,  seeing  he  was 
dead* 

CHAPTER  14 
Joab  instructs  a  widow   of  Tekoak 

4  how  to  incline  the  feina  to  bring 

horns   Absalom.    21  Joab  sent  to 

bring  him  to  Jerusalem. 

NOW  Jo'&b  the  son  of  Zer-u- 
i'ah  perceived  that  the 
king's  heart  was  toward  Ab'sa- 
15m. 

2  And  J5'£b  sent  to  Te-k5'ah, 
and  fetched  thence  a  wise 
woman,  and  said  unto  her,  I 
pray  thee,  feign  thyself  to  be  a 
mourner,  and  put  on  now  mourn- 
ing  apparel,  and  anoint  not  thy- 

tU  with  oil,  but  be  as  a  woman 
that  had  a  long  time  mourned 
for  the  dead : 

3  And  come  to  the  king,  and 
speak  on  this  manner  unto  him. 
So  Jo'&b  put  the  words  in  her 
mouth. 

4  If  And  when  the  woman  of 
Te-ko'ah  spake  to  the  king,  she 
fell  on  her  face  to  the  ground, 
and  did  obeisance,  and  said, 
Help,  O  king. 

5  And  the  king  said  unto  her, 
What  aiLeth  thee  ?  And  she  an- 
swered, I  am  indeed  a  widow 
woman*  and  mine  husband  is 
dead. 

6  And  thy  handmaid  had  two 
sons,  and  they  two  strove  to- 
gether in  the  field,  and  there 
was  none  to  part  them,  but  the 
one  smote  the  other,  and  slew 
him. 

7  And,  behold,  the  whole  fam- 
ily is  risen  against  thine  hand- 
maid, and  they  said,  Deliver 
him  that  smote  his  brother,  that 
we  may  kill  him,  for  the  life  of 
his  brother  whom  he  slew;  and 
we  will  destroy  the  heir  also 
and  so  they  shall  quench  my 
coal  which  is  left,  and  shall  not 
leave  to  my  husband  neither 
name  nor  remainder  upon  the 
earth. 

8  And  the  king  said  unto  the 
woman,  Go  to  thine  house,  and 
I  will  give  charge  concerning 
thee. 

9  And  the  woman  of  Te-k5'ah 
said  unto  the  king,  My  lord,  0 
king,  the  iniquity  be  on  me,  and 
on  my  father's  house:  and  the 
king  and  his  throne  be  guilt- 
less. 

10  And  the  king  said,  Whoso- 
ever saith  aught  unto  thee, 
bring  him  to  me,  and  he  shall 
not  touch  thee  any  more. 

11  Then  said  she,  I  pray  thee, 
let  the  king  remember  the  Lord 
thy  God,  that  thou  wouldest  not 


suffer  the  revengers  of  blood  to 
destroy  any  more,  lest  they  de- 
stroy my  son.  And  he  said,  Ae 
the  Lord  liveth,  there  shall  not 
one  hair  of  thy  son  fall  to  the 
earth. 

12  Then  the  woman  said.  Let 
thine  handmaid,  1  pray  thee, 
speak  one  word  unto  my  lord 
the  king.    And  he  said,  Say  on. 

13  And  the  Woman  said, 
Wherefore  then  hast  thou 
thought  such  a  thing  against 
the  people  of  God?  for  the 
king  dotn  speak  this  thing  as 
one  which  is  faulty,  in  that  the 
kins  doth  not  fetch  home  again 
his  banished. 

14  For  we  must  needs  die, 
and  are  as  water  spilt  on  the 
ground,  which  cannot  be  gath- 
ered up  again;  neither  doth 
God  respect  any  person:  yet 
doth  he  devise  means,  that  his 
banished  be  not  expelled  from 
him. 

15  Now  therefore  that. I  am 
come  to  speak  of  this  thing 
unto  my  lord  the  king,  it  is  be- 
cause the  people  have  made  me 
afraid:  and  thy  handmaid  said, 
I  will  now  speak  unto  the  kino;: 
it  may  be  that  the  king  will 
perform  the  request  of  his 
handmaid. 

16  For  the  king  will  hear,  to 
deliver  his  handmaid  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  man  that  would  de- 
stroy me  and  my  son  together 
out  of  the  inheritance  of  God. 

17  Then  thine  handmaid  said. 
The  word  of  my  lord  the  king 
shall  now  be  comfortable:  for 
as  an  angel  of  God,  so  is  my 
lord  the  king  to  discern  good 
and  bad:  therefore  the  Lord 
thy  God  will  be  with  thee* 

18  Then  the  king  answered 
and  said  unto  the  woman,  Hide 
not  from  me,  I  pray  thee,  the 
thing  that  I  shall  ask  thee.  And 
the  woman  said,  Let  my  lord 
the  kins  now  speak. 

19  And  the  king  said.  Is  not 
the  hand  of  Jo'&b  with  .thee  in 
all  this?  And  the  woman  an- 
swered and  said,  An  thy  soul 
liveth,  my  lord  the  king,  none 
can  turn  to  the  right  hand  or 
to  the  left  from  ought  that  my 
lord  the  king  hath  spoken :  for 
thy  servant  J5'ftb,  he  bade  me, 
and  he  put  all  these  words  m 
the  mouth  of  thine  handmaid: 

20  To  fetch  about  this  form 
of  speech  hath  thy  servant  J5' 
fib  done  this  thins:  and  my 
lord  is  wise,  according  to  the 
wisdom  of  an  angel  of  God,  to 
know  all  things  that  are  in  the 
earth.

21  HAnd  the  kins  said  unto 
Jd'&b,  Behold  now,  I  have  done 
this  thing:  go  therefore,  bring 
the  young  man  Ab'sa-ldm  again. 

22  And  JS'fib  fell  to  the  ground 
on  his  face,  and  bowed  himself, 
and  thanked  the  king:  and  Jd'- 
ab  said.  To  day  thy  servant 
knoweth   that   I   have   found 

Sace  in  thy  sight  my  lord,  O 
ng,  in  that  the  king  hath  ful- 
filled the  request  of  his  servant 

23  So  J5'&b  arose  and  went  to 
Gcfshur,  and  brought  Ab'sa-ldm 
to  J£-ru'sfi-lem. 

24  And  the  king  said.  Let  him 
turn  to  his  own  house,  and  let 
him  not  see  my  face.  So  Ab'sa- 
10m  returned  to  his  own  house, 
and  saw  not  the  king's  face. 

25  IT  But  in  all  Is'ra-el  there 
was  none  to  be  so  much  praised 
as  Ab'sa-ldm  for  his  beauty: 
from  the  sole  of  his  foot  even 
to  the  crown  of  his  head  there 
was  no  blemish  in  him. 

26  And  when  he  polled  his 
head,  (for  it  was  at  every  year's 
end  that  he  polled  it :  because 
the  hair  was  heavy  on  him, 
therefore  he  polled  it:)  he 
weighed  the  hair  of  his  head 
at  two  hundred  shekels  after 
the  king's  weight 

27  And  unto  Ab'sa-ldm  there 
were  born  three  sons,  and  one 
daughter,  whose  name  was  Tft'- 
mar:  she  was  a  woman  of  a 
fair  countenance* 

28  f  So  Ab'sa-ldm  dwelt  two 
full  years  in  Je^rg'sd-lem,  and 
saw  not  the  king's  face. 

29  Therefore  Ab'sa-lom  sent 
for  Jd'Sb,  to  have  sent  him  to 
the  king;  but  he  would  not 
come  to  him:  and  when  he 
sent  again  the  second  time,  he 
would  not  come. 

30  Therefore  he  said  unto  his 
servants,  See,  Jd'&b's  field  is 
near  mine,  and  he  hath  barley 
there;  go  and  set  it  on  fire. 
And  Ab'sa>15m's  servants  set 
the  field  on  fire. 

31  Then  Jd'fib  arose,  and  came 
to  Ab'sa-lom  unto  his  house, 
and  said  unto  him,  Wherefore 
have  thy  servants  set  my  field 
on  fire? 

32  And  Ab'sa-lom  answered 
Jd'&b,  Behold,  I  sent  unto  thee, 
saying,  Come  hither,  that  I  may 
send  thee  to  the  king,  to  say, 
Wherefore  am  I  come  from  G€'- 
shtir  ?  it  had  been  good  for  me 
to  have  been  there  still:  now 
therefore  let  me  see  the  king's 
face;  and  if  there  be  any  in- 
iquity in  me,  let  him  kill  me. 

33  So  Jd'&b  came  to  the  king, 
and  told  him :  and  when  he  had 


called  for  Ab'sa-ldm,  he  came 
to  the  king,  and  bowed  himself 
on  his  face  to  the  ground  be- 
fore the  king :  and  the  king 
kissed  Ab'sa-ldm. 

CHAPTER  15 
Absalom  steals  the  hearts  of  Israel : 
10  he  forms  a  conspiracy.    13  Da- 
vid fitts  from  Jerusalem,    29  The 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after 
this,  that  Ab'sa-ldm  pre- 
pared him  chariots  and  horses, 
and  fifty  men  to  run  before  him. 

2  And  Ab'sa-lom  rose  up  early, 
and  stood  beside  the  way  of  the 
gate :  and  it  was  so,  that  when 
any  man  that  had  a  controversy 
came  to  the  king  for  judgment, 
then  Ab'sa-ldm  called  unto  him, 
and  said,  Of  what  city  art 
thou?  And  he  said,  Thy  serv 
ant  is  of  one  of  the  tribes  of 
Is'ra-el. 

3  And  Ab'sa-ldm  said  unto 
him,  See,  thy  matters  are  good 
and  right ;  but  there  is  no  man 
deputed  of  the  king  to  hear 
thee. 

4  Ab'sa-ldm  said  moreover,  Oh 
that  I  were  made  judge  in  the 
land,  that  every  man  which 
hath  any  suit  or  cause  might 
come  unto  me,  and  I  would  do 
him  justice! 

5  And  it  was  80,  that  when 
any  man  came  nigh  to  him  to 
do  him  obeisance,  he  put  forth 
his  hand,  and  took  him,  and 
kissed  him. 

6  And  on  this  manner  did  Ab'- 
sa-ldm to  all  Is'ra-el  that  came 
to  the  king  for  judgment:  so 
Ab'sa-ldm  stole  the  hearts  of 
the  men  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  f  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
forty  years,  that  Ab'sa-ldm  said 
unto  the  king,  I  pray  thee,  let 
me  go  and  pay  my  vow,  which 
I  have  vowed  unto  the  Lord,  in 
H€l>ron. 

8  For  thy  servant  vowed  a 
vow  while  I  abode  at  GS'shtir 
in  Sfr%&,  saying,  If  the  Lord 
shall  bring  me  again  indeed  to 
Jfe-ru'sfl-lem,  then  I  will  serve 
the  Lord. 

9  And  the  king  said  unto  him, 
Go  in  peace.  So  he  arose,  and 
went  to  He'bron. 

10  HBut  Ab'sa-ldm  sent  spies 
throughout  all  the  tribes  of  Ig'- 
ra-el,  saying,  As  soon  as  ye  hear 
the  sound  of  the  trumpet,  then 
ye  shall  say,  Ab'sa-ldm  reigneth 
in  He'bron. 

11  And  with  Ab'sa-ldm  went 
two  hundred  men  out  of  JS-rg'- 
sft-lem,  that  were  called;  and 
they  went  in  their  simplicity, 
and:  they  knew  not  any  thing.

12  And  Ab'sa-ldm  sent  for 
A-hIth'o-ph*l  the  Gilo-nite,  Da 
vid's  counsellor,  from  his  city, 
even  from  Gilon,  while  he  of- 
fered  sacrifices.  And  the  con- 
spiracy was  strong ;  for  the  peo- 
ple increased  continually  with 
Xb'sa-I5m. 

13  IT  And  there  came  a  mes- 
senger to  DdVid,  saying,  The 
hearts  of  the  men  of  Ia'ra-el  are 
after  Ab'sa-ldm. 

14  And  Da'vid  said  unto  all 
his  servants  that  were  with  him 
at  J&-ru'sfi-l£m,  Arise,  and  let  us 
flee;  for  we  shall  not  else  < 
cape  from  Ab'sa-ldm:  make 
speed  to  depart,  lest  he  over- 
take us  suddenly,  and  bring  evil 
upon  us,  and  smite  the  city  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword. 

15  And  the  king's  servants 
said  unto  the  kins,  Behold,  thy 
servants  are  ready  to  do  what- 
soever my  lord  the  king  shall 
appoint 

16  And  the  king  went  forth, 
and  all  his  household  after  him. 
And  the  king  left  ten  women, 
which  were  concubines,  to  keep 
the  house. 

17  And  the  king  went  forth, 
and  all  the  people  after  him, 
and  tarried  in  a  place  that  was 
far  off. 

18  And  all  his  servants  passed 
on  beside  him;  and  all  the 
CheVe-thites,  and  all  the  PeTe- 
thites,  and  all  the  Giftites,  six 
hundred  men  which  came  after 
him  from  Gftth,  passed  on  be- 
fore the  king. 

19  IFThen  said  the  king  to  It'- 
ta-i  the  Glf  tite,  Wherefore  go- 
est  thou  also  with  us?  return  to 
thy  place,  and  abide  with  the 
king:  for  thou  art  a  stranger, 
and  also  an  exile. 

20  Whereas  thou  earnest  but 
yesterday,  should  I  this  day 
make  thee  go  up  and  down  with 
us?  seeing  I  go  whither  I  may, 
return  thou,  and  take  back  thy 
brethren:  mercy  and  truth  be 
with  thee. 

21  And  If  ta-i  answered  the 
king,  and  said,  As  the  Lord  liv- 
eth,  and  as  my  lord  the  king 
liveth,  surely  in  what  place  my 
lord  the  king  shall  be,  whether 
in  death  or  life,  even  there  also 
will  thy  servant  be. 

22  And  Da'vid  said  to  If  ta-i, 
Go  and  pass  over.  And  If  ta-i 
the  Glf  tite  passed  over,  and  all 
his  men,  and  all  the  little  ones 
that  were  with  him. 

23  And  all  the  country  wept 
with  a  loud  voice,  and  all  the 
people  passed  over:  the  king 
also  himself   passed  over  the

24  11  And  lo  Z&'dftk  also,  and 
all  the  LS'vites  were  with  him, 
bearing  the  ark  of  the  covenant  E&2S.10.  Ark  (J>.  1  KXs. 
of  God:  and  they  set  down  the 
ark  of  God ;  and  A-bf'a-thflr  went 
up,  until  all  the  people  had  done 
passing  out  of  the  city. 

25  And  the  king  said  unto  Z§'- 
ddk,  Carry  back  the  ark  of  God 
into  the  city :  if  I  shall  find  fa- 
vour in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord,  he 
will  bring  me  again,  and  shew 
me  both  it,  and  his  habitation : 

26  But  if  he  thus  say,  I  have 
no  delight  in  thee ;  behold,  here 
am  h  let  him  do  to  me  as  seem- 
eth  good  unto  him. 

27  The  king  said  also  unto 
Zfi'dfik  the  priest,  AH  not  thou 
a  seer?  return  into  the  city  in 
peace,  and  your  two  sons  with 
you,  A-him'a-az  thy  son,  and 
J5n'a-than  the  son  of  A-bi'a- 
thar. 

28  See,  I  will  tarry  in  the  plain 
of  the  wilderness,  until  there 
come  word  from  you  to  certify 
me. 

29  ZS'ddk  therefore  and  A-bi'a- 
thar  carried  the  ark  of  God  again 
to  Je-ru'sa-lSm :  and  they  tarried 
there. 

30  1  And  Dfi'vid  went  up  by 
the  ascent  of  mount  Oil-vet, 
and  wept  as  he  went  up,  and 
had  his  head  covered,  and  he 
went  barefoot :  and  all  the  peo- 
ple that  was  with  him  covered 
every  man  his  head,  and  they 
went  up,  weeping  as  they  went 
up. 

31  And  one  told  Da'vid,  say- 
ing, A-hlth'o-phel  is  among  the 
conspirators  with  Ab'sa-ldm. 
And  Da'vid  said,  O  Lord,  I 
pray  thee,  turn  the  counsel  of 
A-hlth'o-phel  into  foolishness. 

32  1FAnd  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  Da'vid  was  come  to  the 
top  of  the  mount,  where  he 
worshipped  God,  behold,  Hu'- 
shii  the  Ar'chlte  came  to  meet 
him  with  his  coat  rent,  and 
earth  upon  his  head: 

33  Unto  whom  Da'vid  said.  If 
thou  passest  on  with  me,  then 
thou  snalt  be  a  burden  unto  me : 

34  But  if  thou  return  to  the 
city,  and  say  unto  Ab'sa-lfim,  I 
will  be  thy  servant,  O  king ;  as 
I  have  been  thy  father's  servant 
hitherto,  so  will  I  now  also  be 
thy  servant :  then  mayest  thou 
for  me  defeat  the  counsel  of 
A-hlth'o-phel 

35  And  hast  thou  not  there 
with  thee  Za'ddk  and  A-bi'a-thar 
the  priests?  therefore  it  shall

be,  that  what  thing  soever  thou 
shalt  hear  out  of  the  king's 
house,  thou  shalt  tell  it  to  ZT-

36  Behold,  they  have  there

came  into  the  city,  and  Ab'sa-

CHAPTER  16 
Ziba,  by  false  suggestions,   obtains 
kit  master's  inheritance.    5  Shim- 
ei curses  David.    20  AhithopheV* 
oounseL 

AND  when  David  was  a  little 
past  the  top  of  the  hill,  be- 
hold, Zrba  the  servant  of  Me- 
phlb'o-shSth  met  him,  with  a 
couple  of  asses  saddled,  and  up- 
on them  two  hundred  loaves  of 
bread,  and  an  hundred  bunches 
of  raisins,  and  an  hundred  of 
summer  fruits,  and  a  bottle  of 
wine. 

2  And  the  king  said  unto  Zrba, 
What  meanest  thou  by  these? 
And  Zrba  said,  The  asses  be  for 
the  king's  household  to  ride  on ; 
and  the  bread  and  summer  fruit 
for  the  young  men  to  eat;  and 
the  wine,  that  such  as  be  faint 
in  the  wilderness  may  drink. 

3  And  the  king  said.  And  where 
is  thy  master's  son  ?  And  ZiTia 
said  unto  the  king.  Behold,  he 
abidetb  at  J$-ru'sfi-lSm :  for  he 
said,  To  day  shall  the  house  of 
la'ra-el  restore  me  the  kingdom 
of  my  father. 

4  Then  said  the  king  to  Zi'ba, 
Behold,  thine  are  all  that  per- 
tained unto  MeVph&Yo-shgth. 
And  Zi'ba  said,  I  humbly  be- 
seech thee  that  I  may  find  grace 
in  thy  sight,  my  lord,  O  king. 

5  IT  And  when  king  Da  vid 
came  to  Ba-hu'rim,  behold, 
thence  came  out  a  man  of  the 
family  of  the  house  of  Saul, 
whose  name  was  Shim'e-i,  the 
son  of  G€'ra:  he  came  forth, 
and  cursed  still  as  he  came. 

6  And  he  cast  stones  at  Da'vid, 
and  at  all  the  servants  of  king 
Da'vid:  and  all  the  people  and 
all  the  mighty  men  were  on  his 
right  hand  and  on  his  left 

7  And  thus  said  Shim'e-i  when 
he  cursed.  Come  out,  come  out, 
thou  bloody  man,  and  thou  man 
of  Bfi-H-al: 

8  The  Lord  hath  returned 
upon  thee  all  the  blood  of  the 
house  of  Saul,  in  whose  stead 
thou  hast  reipned;  and  the 
Lord  hath  delivered  the  king- 


dom into  the  hand  of  Ab'sa-15m 
thy  son :  and,  behold,  thou  art 
taken  in  thy  mischief,  because 
thou  art  a  bloody  man. 

9  II  Then  said  A-bish'a-i  the 
son  of  Zer-u-i'ah  unto  the  king. 
Why  should  this  dead  dog  curse 
my  lord  the  king?  let  me  go 
over,  I  pray  thee,  and  take  off 
his  head. 

10  And  the  king  said.  What 
have  I  to  do  with  you,  ye  sons 
of  Zer-u-i'ah  ?  so  let  him  curse, 
because  the  Lord  hath  said  un- 
to him,  Curse  Da'vid.  Who 
shall  then  say,  Wherefore  hast 
thou  done  so? 

11  And  Da'vid  said  to  A-blsh' 
a-i,  and  to  all  his  servants,  Be- 
hold, my  son,  which  came  forth 
of  my  bowels,  seeketh  my  life : 
how  much  more  now  may  this^ 
Ben'ja-mite  do  it?  let  him 
alone,  and  let  him  curse;  for 
the  Lord  hath  bidden  him. 

12  It  may  be  that  the  Lord 
will  look  on  mine  affliction,  and 
that  the  Lord  will  requite  me 
good  for  his  cursing  this  day. 

13  And  as  Da'vid  and  his  men 
went  by  the  way,  Shim'e-i  went 
along  on  the  hill's  side  over 
against  him,  and  cursed  as  he 
went,  and  threw  stones  at  him, 
and  cast  dust 

14  And  the  king,  and  all  the 
people  that  were  with  him, 
came  weary,  and  refreshed 
themselves  there. 

15  1TAndAb'sa-15m,andallthe 
people  the  men  of  Is'ra-el,  came 
to  Je^ru'sa-lSm,  and  A-hith'o- 
phei  with  him. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Hu'shai  the  Ar'chite,  Da'vid's 
friend,  was  come  unto  Ab'i 
15m,  that  Hu'shai  said  unto  Ab'- 
sa-15m,  God  save  the  king,  God 
save  the  king. 

17  And  Ab'sa-15m  said  to  Hu'- 
shai, Is  this  thy  kindness  to  thy 
friend?  why  wentest  thou  not 
with  thy  friend? 

18  And  Hu'shai  said  unto  Ab'- 
sa-15m.  Nay;  but  whom  the 
Lord,  and  this  people,  and  all 
the  men  of  Is'ra-el,  choose,  his 
will  I  be,  and  with  him  will  I 
abide. 

19  And  again,  whom  should  I 
serve?  should  I  not  serve  in 
the  presence  of  his  son?  as  I 
have  served  in  thy  father's 
presence,  so  will  I  be  in  thy 
presence. 

20  1  Then  said  Ab'sa-15m  to 
A-hith'o-phel,  Give  counsel 
among  you  what  we  shall  do. 

21  And  A-hith'o-phel  said  unto 
Ab'sa-15m,  Go  in  unto  thy  fa- 
ther's  concubines,   which    he

hath  left  to  keep  the  house; 
and  all  Is/ra-el  shall  hear  that 
thou  art  abhorred  of  thy  father : 
then  shall  the  hands  of  all  that 
are  with  thee  be  strong. 

22  So  they  spread  Ab'sa-ldm  a 
tent  upon  the  top  of  the  house ; 
and  Ab'sa-lfim  went  in  unto  his 
father's  concubines  in  the  sight 
of  all  Is'ra-el. 

23  And  the  counsel  of  A-hfth'- 
o<-ph£l,  which  he  counselled  in 
those  days,  was  as  if  a  man  had 
enquired  at  the  oracle  of  God : 
so  was  all  the  counsel  of  A-hith'- 
o-phel both  with  Da'vid  and  with 
Ab'sa-lQm. 

CHAPTER  17 

Ahithophel's  counsel  overthrown  by 

HushaVs.     15  Secret    intelligence 

sent     to     David.    23    Ahithophel 

hang*  himself. 

MOREOVER  A-hith'o-phel 
said  unto  Ab'sa-I6m,  Let 
me  now  choose  out  twelve  thou- 
sand men,  and  I  will  arise  and 
pursue  after  Da'vid  this  night : 

2  And  I  will  come  upon  him 
while  he  is  weary  and  weak 
handed,  and  will  make  him 
afraid:  and  all  the  people  that 
are  with  him  shall  flee ;  and  I 
will  smite  the  king  only : 

3  And  I  will  bnng  back  all 
the  people  unto  thee:  the  man 
whom  thou  seekest  is  as  if  all 
returned :  so  all  the  people  shall 
be  in  peace. 

4  And  the  saying  pleased  Ab'- 
sa-lfim  well,  and  all  the  elders 
of  Is/ra-el. 

5  Then  said  Ab-sa-l&m,  Call 
now  Hu'shai  the  Ar'chite  also, 
and  let  us  hear  likewise  what 
he  saith. 

6  And  when  HQ'shai  was  come 
to  Ab'sa-15m,  Ab'sa46m  spake 
unto  him,  saying,  A-hlth'o-phel 
hath  spoken  after  this  manner: 
shall  we  do  after  his  saying  ?  if 
not ;  speak  thou. 

7  And  Hu'shai  said  unto  Ab'sa- 
ldm,  The  counsel  that  A-hlth 
o-phSl  hath  given  ie  not  good  at 
this  time. 

8  For,  said  Hu'shai,  thou  know- 
est  thy  father  and  his  men,  that 
they  he  mighty  men,  and  they 
be  chafed  in  their  minds,  as  a 
bear  robbed  of  her  whelps  in 
the  field:  and  thy  father  is  a 
man  of  war,  and  will  not  lodge 
with  the  people. 

9  Behold,  he  is  hid  now  in 
some  pit,  or  in  some  other  place 
and  it  will  come  to  pass,  when 
some  of  them  be  overthrown  at 
the  first,  that  whosoever  heareth 
it  will  say,  There  is  a  slaughter 
among  the  people  that  follow 
Ab'sa-ldm. 


10  And  he  also  that  is  valiant, 
whose  heart  is  as  the  heart  of  a 
lion,  shall  utterly  melt :  for  all 
Is/ra-el  knoweth  that  thy  father 
is  a  mighty  man,  and  they  which 
be  with  him  are  valiant  men. 

11  Therefore  I  counsel  that  all 
Is/ra-el  be  generally  gathered 
unto  thee,  from  Dan  even  to 
Be'er-she"ba,  as  the  sand  that  is 
by  the  sea  for  multitude;  and 
that  thou  go  to  battle  in  thine 
own  person. 

^  12  So  shall  we  come  upon  him 
in  some  place  where  he  shall  be 
found,  and  we  will  light  upon 
him  as  the  dew  falleth  on  the 
ground:  and  of  him  and  of  all 
the  men  that  are  with  him  there 
shall  not  be  left  so  much  as  one. 

13  Moreover,  if  he  be  gotten 
into  a  city,  then  shall  all  Is/ra- 
el  bring  ropes  to  that  city,  and 
we  will  draw  it  into  the  river, 
until  there  be  not  one  small 
stone  found  there. 

14  And  Ab'sa-ldm  and  all  the 
men  of  Is/ra-el  said,  The  counsel 
of  Hu'shai  the  Ar'chite  is  better 
than  the  counsel  of  A-hith'o- 
phel.  For  the  Lord  had  ap- 
pointed to  defeat  the  good 
counsel  of  A-hith'o-phel,  to  the 
intent  that  the  Lord  might 
bring  evil  upon  Ab'sa-ldm. 

15  IT  Then  said  Hu'shai  unto 
Zi'dSk  and  to  A-bi'a-thar  the 
priests,  Thus  and  thus  did 
A-hith'o-phSl  counsel  Ab'sa-ldm 
and  the  elders  of  Is/ra-el;  and 
thus  and  thus  have  I  counselled. 

16  Now  therefore  send  quickly, 
and  tell  Da'vid,  saving,  Lodge 
not  this-  night  in  the  plains  of 
the  wilderness,  but  speedily  pass 
over ;  lest  the  king  be  swallowed 
up,  and  all  the  people  that  are 
with  him. 

17  NowJdn'a-thanandA-hlm 
a-az  stayed  by  fin-~rd"gel;  for 
they  might  not  be  seen  to  come 
into  the  city:  and  a  wench 
went  and  told  them ;  and  they 
went  and  told  king  Da'vid. 

18  Nevertheless  a  lad  saw 
them,  and  told  Ab'sa-15m:  but 
they  went  both  of  them  away 
quickly,  and  came  to  a  man's 
house  in  Bfi-hffrim,  which  had 
a  well  in  his  court;  whither 
they  went  down. 

19  And  the  woman  took  and 
spread  a  covering  over  the  well's 
mouth,  and  spread  ground  corn 
thereon ;  and  the  thing  was  not 
known. 

20  And  when  Ab'sa-ldm's  serv- 
ants came  to  the  woman  to 
the  house,  they  said,  Where 
is  A-him'a-as  and  Jon'a-than? 
And  the  woman  said  unto  them,

They  be  gone  over  the  brook  of 
water.  And  when  they  had 
sought  and  could  not  find  them, 
they  returned  to  Jc-ru'sft-lem. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  after 
they  were  departed,  that  they 
came  up  out  of  the  well,  and 
went  and  told  king  Da'vid,  and 
said  unto  Da'vid,  Arise,  and 
pass  quickly  over  the  water: 
for  thus  hath  A-hith'o-phel 
counselled  against  you. 

22  Then  Dfi'vid  arose,  and  all 
the  people  that  were  with  him, 
and  they  passed  over  Jordan : 
by  the  morning  light  there 
lacked  not  one  of  them  that 
was  not  gone  over  Jofdan. 

23  IT  And  when  A-h!th'o-phel 
saw  that  his  counsel  was  not 
followed,  he  saddled  his  ass, 
and  arose,  and  gat  him  home  to 
his  house,  to  his  city,  and  put 
his  household  in  order,  and 
hanged  himself,  and  died,  and 
was  buried  in  the  sepulchre  of 
his  father. 

24  Then  Da'vid  came  to  Ma 
htVnfi'im.  And  Ab'sa-ldm  passed 
over  Jdfdan,  he  and  all  the 
men  of  Is'ra-el  with  him. 

25  And  Ab'sa-ldm  made  Ara'a- 
sa  captain  of  the  host  instead 
of  JiTSb:  which  Am'a-sa  was  a 
man's  son,  whose  name  was 
Ith'ra  an  Is/ra-el-ite,  that  went 
in  to  Abl-gail  the  daughter  of 
Naliash,  sister  to  Zer-u-i'ah 
Jd'Sb's  mother. 

26  So  ls/ra-el  and  Ab'sa-ldm 
pitched  in  the  land  of  GU'e-fid. 

27  IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Da'vid  was  come  to  Ma-ha-na'im, 
that  Shffbi  the  son  of  NaTiash 
of  RSblrth  of  the  children  of 
Am'mdn,  and  Mfi'chlr  the  son  of 
Am'mi-el  of  Lft-de'bar,  and  Bar- 
zllla-i  the  Gll'e4d-ite  of  R6- 
8«1im, 

28  Brought  beds,  and  basons, 
and  earthen  vessels,  and  wheat, 
and  barley,  and  flour,  and 
parched  corn,  and  beans,  and 
lentiles,  and  parched  pulse, 

29  And  honey,  and  butter,  and 
sheep/and  cheese  of  kine,  for 
Da'vid,  and  for  the  people  that 
were  with  him,  to  eat :  for  they 
said,  The  people  is  hungry,  and 
weary,  and  tnirsty,  in  the  wil- 
derness. 

CHAPTER  18 

David,  viewing  the  armies,  5  gives 
them  charge  of  Absalom :  14  he  is 
•tain  oy  Joab.  33  David  mourns 
for  him. 

AND  Da'vid  numbered   the 
people  that  were  with  him, 
and  set  captains  of  thousands 
and  captains  of  hundreds  over 
them. 
2  And   Da'vid  sent   forth  a 


third  part  of  the  people  under 
the  hand  of  JO'ftb,  and  a  third 
part  under  the  hand  of  A-blsh' 
a-i  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah,  Jft'&b's 
brother,  and  a  third  part  under 
the  hand  of  If  ta-i  the  Gif  tite. 
And  the  king  said  unto  the  peo- 
ple, I  will  surely  go  forth  with 
you  myself  also. 

3  But  the  people  answered, 
Thou  shalt  not  go  forth :  for  if 
we  flee  away,  thejr  will  not  care 
for  us;  neither  if  half  of  us 
die,  will  they  care  for  us:  but 
now  thou  art  worth  ten  thou- 
sand of  us:  therefore  now  it  is 
better  that  thou  succour  us  out 
of  the  city. 

4  And  the  king  said  unto  them, 
What  seemeth  you  best  I  will 
do.  And  the  king  stood  by  the 
gate  side,  and  all  the  people 
came  out  by  hundreds  and  by 
thousands. 

5  And  the  king  commanded 
J5'Sb  and  A-bish'a-I  and  If  ta-i, 
saving,  Deal  gently  for  my  sake 
with  the  young  man,  even  with 
Ab'sa-16m.  And  all  the  people 
heard  when  the"  king  gave  all 
the  captains  charge  concerning 
Ab'sa-16m. 

6  tSo  the  people  went  out  in- 
to the  field  against  Is'ra-el :  and 
the  battle  was  in  the  wood  of 
fi'phra'-lm ; 

7  Where  the  people  of  Is'ra-el 
were  slain  before  the  servants 
of  Da'vid,  and  there  was  there 
a  great  slaughter  that  day  of 
twenty  thousand  men. 

8  For  the  battle  was  there 
scattered  over  the  face  of  all 
the  country :  and  the  wood  de- 
voured more  people  that  day 
than  the  sword  devoured. 

9  1FAnd  Ab'sa-ldm  met  the 
servants  of  Da'vid.  And  Ab'- 
sa-ldm rode  upon  a  mule,  and 
the  mule  went  under  the  thick 
boughs  of  a  great  oak,  and  his 
head  caught  hold  of  the  oak, 
and  he  was  taken  up  between 
the  heaven  and  the  earth ;  and 
the  mule  that  was  under  him 
went  away. 

10  And  "a  certain  man  saw  it, 
and  told  Jd'ab,  and  said,  Behold, 
I  saw  Ab'sa-16m  hanged  in  an 
oak. 

11  And  Jd'Sb  said  unto  the 
man  that  told  him,  And,  be- 
hold, thou  sawest  him,  and  why 
didst  thou  not  smite  him  there 
to  the  ground?  and  I  would 
have  given  thee  ten  shekels  of 
silver,  and  a  girdle. 

12  And  the  man  said  unto  Jd'- 
ab, Though  I  should  receive  a 
thousand  shekels  of  silver  in 
mine  hand,  yet  would  I  not  put

forth  mine  hand  against  the 
king's  son:  for  in  our  hearing 
the  king  charged  thee  and 
A-blsh'a-I  and  Ifta-i,  saying, 
Beware  that  none  touch  the 
young  man  Ab'sa-lfim. 

13  Otherwise  I  should  have 
wrought  falsehood  against  mine 
own  life :  for  there  is  no  matter 
hid  from  the  king,  and  thou  thy- 
self wouldest  have  set  thyself 
against  me. 

14  Then  said  Jo'fib,  I  may  not 
tarry  thus  with  thee.  And  he 
took  three  darts  in  his  hand, 
and  thrust  them  through  the 
heart  of  Ab'sa-ldm,  while  he 
was  yet  alive  in  the  midst  of 
the  oak. 

15  And  ten  young  men  that 
bare  Jd'Sb's  armour  compassed 
about  and  smote  Ab'sa-ltfm,  and 
slew  him. 

16  And  Jo'Sb  blew  the  trump- 
et, and  the  people  returned  from 
pursuing  after  Is'ra-el :  for  J5'Sb 
held  back  the  people. 

17  And  they  took  Ab'sa-15m, 
and  cast  him  into  a  great  pit  in 
the  wood,  and  laid  a  very  great 
heap  of  stones  upon  him :  and 
all  Is'ra-el  fled  every  one  to  his 
tent 

18  1TNow  Ab'sa-ldm  in  his  life- 
time had  taken  and  reared  up 
for  himself  a  pillar,  which  is 
in  the  king's  dale :  for  he  said, 
I  have  no  son  to  keep  my  name 
in  remembrance :  and  he  called 
the  pillar  after  his  own  name : 
and  it  is  called  unto  this  day, 
Ab'sa-15m's  place. 

19  TThen  said  A-him'a-az  the 
son  of  ZS'dfik,  Let  me  now  uun, 
and  bear  the  kins  tidings,  how 
that  the  Lord  hath  avenged 
him  of  his  enemies. 

20  And  JS'fib  said  unto  him, 
Thou  shalt  not  bear  tidings  this 
day,  but  thou  shalt  bear  tidings 
another  day :  but  this  day  thou 
shalt  bear  no  tidings,  because 
the  king's  son  is  dead. 

21  Then  said  Jd'Sb  to  Cu'shi, 
Go  tell  the  king  what  thou  hast 
seen.  And  Cushi  bowed  him- 
self unto  J5'abf  and  ran. 

22  Then  said  A-him'a-az  the 
son  of  ZS'ddk  yet  again  to  J6'fib, 
But  howsoever,  let  me,  I  pray 
thee,  also  run  after  Cu'shi. 
And  J8'ab  said,  Wherefore  wilt 
thou  run,  my  son,  seeing  that 
thou  hast  no  tidings  ready  ? 

23  But  howsoever,  said  he,  let 
me  run.  And  he  said  unto  him, 
Run.  Then  A-him'a-az  ran  by 
the  way  of  the  plain,  and  over- 
ran Cu'shi. 

24  And  Da'vid  sat  between  the 
two  gates:  and  the  watchman 


went  up  to  the  roof  over  the 
gate  unto  the  wall,  and  lifted 
up  his  eyes,  and  looked,  and  be- 
hold a  man  running  alone. 

25  And  the  watchman  cried, 
and  told  the  king.  And  the 
king  said,  If  he  be  alone,  there 
is  tidings  in  his  mouth.  And 
he  came  apace,  and  drew  near. 

26  And  the  watchman  saw 
another  man  running:  and  the 
watchman  called  unto  the  por- 
ter, and  said,  Behold  another 
man  running  alone.  And  the 
king  said,  He  also  bringeth  ti- 
dings. 

27  And  the  watchman  said, 
Me  thinketh  the  running  of  the 
foremost  is  like  the  running  of 
A-him'a-az  the  son  of  Zfi'ddk. 
And  the  king  said,  He  id  a  good 
man,  and  cometh  with  good  ti- 
dings. 

28  And  A-him'a-fiz  called,  and 
said  unto  the  king,  All  is  well 
And  he  fell  down  to  the  earth 
upon  his  face  before  the  king, 
and  said,  Blessed  be  the  Lord 
thy  God,  which  hath  delivered 
up  the  men  that  lifted  up  their 
hand  against  my  lord  the  king. 

29  And  the  king  said,  Is  the 
young  man  Ab'sa-16m  safe? 
And  A-him'a-az  answered,  When 
JO'fib  sent  the  king's  servant, 
and  me  thy  servant,  I  saw  a 
great  tumult,  but  I  knew  not 
what  it  was. 

30  And  the  king  said  unto 
him,  Turn  aside,  and  stand 
here.  And  he  turned  aside, 
and  stood  still. 

31  And,  behold,  Cu'shi  came ; 
and  Cu'shi  said,  Tidings,  mv 
lord  the  king:  for  the  Lord  hath 
avenged  thee  this  day  of  all 
them  that  rose  up  against  thee. 

32  And  the  king  said  unto 
Cu'shi,  Is  the  young  man'  Ab'- 
sa-ldm safe?  And  Cu'shi  an- 
swered, The  enemies  of  my  lord 
the  king,  and  all  that  rise 
against  thee  to  do  thee  hurt,  be 
as  that  young  man  is. 

33  f  And  the  king  was  much 
moved,  and  went  up  to  the 
chamber  over  the  gate,  and 
wept :  and  as  he  went,  thus  he 
said,  0  my  son  Ab'sa-lftn,  my 
son,  my  son  Ab'sa-ldm!  would 
God  I  had  died  for  thee,  0  Ab'- 
sa-ldm, my  son,  my  son !

and  mourneth  for  Ab'sa-16m.

to  all  the  people :  for  the  people 
heard  say  that  day  how  the  king 
was  grieved  for  his  son. 

3  And  the  people  gat  them  by 
stealth  that  day  into  the  city, 
as  people  being  ashamed  steal 
away  when  they  flee  in  battle. 

4  Bat  the  king  covered  his 
face,  and  the  king  cried  with  a 
load  voice,  0  my  son  Ab'sa-ldm, 
0  Ab'sa-Iflm,  my  son,  my  son ! 

5  And  Jft'fib  came  into  the 
house  to  the  king,  and  said, 
Thou  hast  shamed  this  day  the 
faces  of  all  thy  servants,  which 
this  day  have  saved  thy  life, 
and  the  lives  of  thv  sons  and  of 
thy  daughters,  and  the  lives  of 
thy  wives,  and  the  lives  of  thy 
concubines; 

6  In  that  thou  lovest  thine 
enemies,  and  hatest  thy  friends. 
Fox  thou  hast  declared  this  day, 
that  thou  regardest  neither 
princes  nor  servants:  for  this 
day  I  perceive,  that  if  Ab'sa-I5m 
had  lived,  and  all  we  had  died 
this  day,  then  it  had  pleased 
thee  well 

7  Now  therefore  arise,  go 
forth,  and  speak  comfortably 
onto  thy  servants:  for  I  swear 
by  the  Lord,  if  thou  go  not 
forth,  there  will  not  tarry  one 
with  thee  this  night:  and  that 
will  be  worse  onto  thee  than  all 
the  evil  that  befell  thee  from 
thy  youth  until  now. 

8  Then  the  king  arose,  and  sat 
in  the  gate.  And  they  told  un- 
to all  the  people,  saving,  Behold, 
the  king  doth  sit  in  the  gate. 
And  all  the  people  came  before 
the  king:  for  fs'ra-el  had  fled 
every  man  to  his  tent 

9  1T And  all  the  people  were  at 
strife  throughout  all  the  tribes 
of  It'ra-el,  saving,  The  king 
saved  us  out  of  the  hand  of  our 
enemies,  and  he  delivered  us 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  Phl-Hs'- 
tineg ;  and  now  he  is  fled  out  of 
the  land  for  Ab'aa-15m. 

10  And  Ab'sa-ldm,  whom  we 
anointed  over  us,  is  dead  in  bat- 
tle. Now  therefore  why  speak 
ye  not  a  word  of  bringing  the 
king  back  ? 

11  f  And  king  Dfi'vid  sent  to 
Za'dok  and  to  A-bi'a-thar  the 
priests,  saying,  Speak  unto  the 
elders  of  JQ'dah,  saying.  Why 
are  ye  the  last  to  bring  the  king 
back  to  his  house  ?  seeing  the 
speech  of  all  Is/ra-el  is  come  to 
tie  king,  even  to  his  house. 

12  Ye  are  my  brethren,  ye  are 
my  bones  and  my  flesh :  where- 
fore then  are  ye  the  last  to  bring 
back  the  king? 

13  And  say  ye  to  Am'a-sa,  Art 


thou  not  of  my  bone,  and  of  my 
flesh?  God  do  so  to  me,  and 
more  also,  if  thou  be  not  cap- 
tain of  the  host  before  me  con- 
tinually in  the  room  of  JSHb. 

14  And  he  bowed  the  heart  of 
all  the  men  of  Jtt'dah,  even  as 
the  heart  of  one  man ;  so  that 
they  sent  this  word  unto  the 
king,  Return  thou,  and  all  thy 
servants. 

15  So  the  king  returned,  and 
came  to  Jdrtlan.  And  Jti'dah 
came  to  GH'gfil,  to  go  to  meet 
the  king,  to  conduct  the  king 
over  Jdr'dan. 

16  1T  And  Shim'e-I  the  son  of 
GS'ra,  a  Ben'ja-mlte,  which  was 
of  Bil-hu'rim,  hasted  and  came 
down  with  the  men  of  Ju'dah  to 
meet  king  Dfi'vid. 

17  And  there  were  a  thou- 
sand men  of  Ben'ja-mln  with 
him,  and  Zn>a  the  servant  of 
the  house  of  Saul,  and  his  fif- 
teen sons  and  his  twenty  serv- 
ants with  him;  and  they  went 
over  Jdr'dan  before  the  king. 

18  And  there  went  over  a  fer- 
ry boat  to  carry  over  the  king's 
household,  and  to  do  what  he 
thought  good.  And  Shim'e-i 
the  son  of  G€'ra  fell  down  be- 
fore the  king,  as  he  was  come 
over  Jdr'dan;   * 

19  And  said  unto  the  kinjj, 
Let  not  my  lord  impute  iniqui- 
ty unto  me,  neither  do  thou  re- 
member that  which  thy  servant 
did  perversely  the  day  that  my 
lord  the  king  went  out  of  Jfc-ru'- 
sfi-lem,  that  the  king  should  take 
it  to  his  heart 

20  For  thy  servant  doth  know 
that  I  have  sinned:  therefore, 
behold,  I  am  come  the  first  this 
day  of  all  the  house  of  JO'seph 
to  go  down  to  meet  my  lord  tne 
king. 

21  But  A-blsh'a-i  the  son  of 
Zer-u-i'ah  answered  and  said, 
Shall  not  Shim'e-i  be  put  to 
death  for  this,  because  he 
cursed  the  Lord's  anointed? 

22  And  Dfi'vid  said,  What  have 
I  to  do  with  you,  ye  sons  of  Zer- 
ta-l'ah,  that  ye  should  this  day 
be  adversaries  unto  me?  shall 
there  any  man  be  put  to  death 
this  day  in  Ts'ra-el  f  for  do  not  I 
know  that  I  am  this  day  king 
over  Is/ra-el  ? 

23  Therefore  the  king  said  un- 
to Shim'e-i,  Thou  shalt  not  die. 
And  the  king  sware  unto  him. 

24  tAnd  M5-phn>'o-she*th  the 
son  of  Saul  came  down  to 
meet  the  king,  and  had  neither 
dressed  his  feet,  nor  trimmed 
his  beard,  nor  washed  his 
clothes,  from  the  day  the  king

departed  until  the  day  he  came 
again  in  peace. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  was  come  to  JeVry's£4em  to 
meet  the  king,  that  the  king 
said  unto  him,  Wherefore  went- 
est  not  thou  with  me,  Mg-phib'o- 
«h€th? 

26  And  he  answered,  My  lord, 
0  king,  my  servant  deceived 
me:  for  thy  servant  said,  I  will 
saddle  me  an  ass,  that  I  may  ride 
thereon,  and  go  to  the  king ;  be- 
cause thy  servant  is  lame. 

27  And  he  hath  slandered  thy 
servant  unto  my  lord  the  king ; 
but  my  lord  the  king  is  as  an  an- 
gel of  God :  do  therefore  what 
is  good  in  thine  eyes. 

28  For  all  of  my  father's  house 
were  but  dead  men  before  my 
lord  the  king:  yet  didst  thou 
set  thy  servant  among  them 
that  did  eat  at  thine  own  table. 
What  right  therefore  have  I  yet 
to  cry  any  more  unto  the  king  ? 

29  And  the  king  said  unto 
him,  Why  speakest  thou  any 
more  of  thy  matters?  I  have 
said,  Thou  and  Zfba  divide  the 
land. 

30  And  MS-phlbWiSth  said 
unto  the  king,  Yea,  let  him  take 
all,  forasmuch  as  my  lord  the 
king  is  come  again  in  peace  un- 
to his  own  house. 

31  f  And  BaMiHa-i  the  Grt'e- 
Sd-ite  came  down  from  Ro-^6'- 
lim,  and  went  over  Jdr'dan  with 
the  king,  to  conduct  him  over 
Jdr'dam 

32  Now  Bar-zIHa-i  was  a  very 
aged  man,  even  fourscore  years 
old :  and  he  had  provided  the 
king  of  sustenance  while  he  lay 
at  Mfi-ha-n&'im ;  for  he  was  a 
very  great  man. 

33  And  the  king  said  unto  Bar- 
zilla-i,  Come  thou  over  with  me, 
and  I  will  feed  thee  with  me  in 
J&-ru'a§-l£m. 

34  And  Bar-cllla-i  said  unto 
the  king,  How  long  have  I  to 
live,  that  I  should  go  up  with 
the  king  unto  Jfc-ru'sa-lem  ? 

35  I  am  this  day  fourscore 
years  old:  and  can  I  discern 
between  good  and  evil?  can 
thy  servant  taste  what  I  eat  or 
what  I  drink?  can  I  hear  any 
more  the  voice  of  singing  men 
and  singing  women  ?  wherefore 
then  should  thy  servant  be  yet 
a  burden  unto  my  lord  the  king  ? 

36  Thy  servant  will  go  a  little 
way  over  Jdr'dan  with  the  king : 
and  why  should  the  king  rec- 
ompense it  me  with  such  a  re- 
ward? 

37  Let  thy  servant,  I  pray 
thee,  turn  back  again,  that  I 


may  die  in  mine. own  city,  and 
be  buried  by  the  grave  of  my 
father  and  of  my  mother.  But 
behold  thy  servant  Chhn'ham; 
let  him  go  over  with  my  lord 
the  king;  and  do  to  him  what 
shall  seem  good  unto  thee. 

38  And  the  king  answered, 
Chim'h&m  shall  go  over  with 
me,  and  I  will  do  to  him  that 
which  shall  seem  good  unto 
thee:  and  whatsoever  thou 
shalt  require  of  me,  thai  will 
I  do  for  thee. 

39  And  all  the  people  went 
over  Jdr'dan.  And  when  the 
king  was  come  over,  the  king 
kissed  Bar-sttla-1,  and  blessed 
him ;  and  he  returned  unto  his 
own  place. 

40  Then  the  king  went  on  to 
GH'gSl,  and  Chim'h&m  went  on 
with  him :  and  all  the  people  of 
Ju'dah  conducted  the  king,  and 
also  half  the  people  of  ls'ra-eL 

41  ITAnd,  behold,  all  the  men 
of  Is/ra-el  came  to  the  king,  and 
said  unto  the  king,  Why  have 
our  brethren  the  men  of  J&'dah 
stolen  thee  away,  and  have 
brought  the  king,  and  his  house- 
hold* and  all  David's  men  with 
him,  over  Jdr'dan  ? 

42  And  all  the  men  of  Ju'dah 
answered  the  men  of  ls/fa-d, 
Because  the  king  is  near  of  kin 
to  us:  wherefore  then  be  ye 
angry  for  this  matter?  have 
we  eaten  at  all  of  the  king's 
cost  ?  or  hath  he  given  us  any 
gift? 

43  And  the  men  of  Is/ra-el 
answered  the  men  of  Jfi'dah, 
and  said,  We  have  ten  parts  in 
the  king,  and  we  have  also  more 
right  in  Dfi'vid  than  ye:  why 
then  did  ye  despise  us,  that  our 
advice  should  not  be  first  had  in 
bringing  back  our  king?  And 
the  words  of  the  men  of  Jfl'dah 
were  fiercer  than  the  words  of 
the  men  of  Is/ra-el.

clave  unto  their  king,  from  J6V- 
dan  even  to  Je^ru'sa-lem. 

3  %  And  Di'vid  came  to  his 
house  at  JS-ru'sa-lem ;  and  the 
king  took  the  ten  women  his 
concubines,  whom  he  had  left 
to  keep  the  house,  and  put  them 
in  ward,  and  fed  them,  but  went 
not  in  unto  them.  So  they  were 
shut  up  unto  the  day  of  their 
death,  living  in  widowhood. 

4  HThen  said  the  king  to  Am'- 
a-sa,  Assemble  me  the  men  of 
Jfl'dah  within  three  days,  and 
be  thou  here  present 

5  So  Am'a-sa  went  to  assemble 
the  men  of  Jfl'dah :  but  he  tar- 
ried longer  than  the  set  time 
which  he  had  appointed  him. 

6  AndDa'vidaaidtoA-Msh'a-I, 
Now  shall  ShCba  the  son  of 
BIch'ri  do  us  more  harm  than 
did  Ab'sa-ldm:  take  thou  thy 
lord's  servants,  and  pursue  after 
him,  lest  he  get  him  fenced 
cities,  and  escape  us. 

7  And  there  went  out  after 
him  JO'ftb's  men,  and  the  CheV- 
e-thites,  and  the  PeTe-thites, 
and  all  the  mighty  m"en :  and 
they  went  out  of  JS-ru'sa-letn, 
to  pursue  after  ShTba  the  son 
of  BIch'ri. 

8  When  they  were  at  the  great 
stone  which  %s  in  GIb'e-on,  Am'- 
a-sa went  before  them.  And 
Jff&b's  garment  that  he  had  put 
on  was  girded  unto  him,  and 
upon  it  a  girdle  with  a  sword 
fastened  upon  his  loins  in  the 
sheath  thereof ;  and  as  he  went 
forth  it  fell  out 

9  And  Jd'ab  said  to  Am'a-sa, 
Art  thou  in  health,  my  broth- 
er ?  And  Jfl'ab  took  Am'a-sa  by 
the  beard  with  the  right  hand 
to  kiss  him. 

10  But  Am'a-sa  took  no  heed 
to  the  sword  that  was  in  JO'- 
ftb's hand:  so  he  smote  him 
therewith  in  the  fifth  rib,  and 
shed  out  his  bowels  to  the 
ground,  and  struck  him  not 
again;  and  he  died.  So  JCSb 
and  A-blsh'a-i  his  brother  pur- 
sued after  She^ba  the  son  of 
BIch'ri. 

11  And  one  of  JdUb's  men 
stood  by  him,  and  said,  He  that 
favoureth  JS'fib,  and  he  that  is 
for  DS'vid,  let  him  go  after 
Jd'ab. 

12  And  Am'a-sa  wallowed  in 
blood  in  the  midst  of  the  high- 
way. And  when  the  man  saw 
that  all  the  people  stood  still, 
he  removed  Am'a-sa  out  of  the 
highway  into  the  field,  and  cast 
a  cloth  upon  him,  when  he  saw 
that  every  one  that  came  by  him 
stood  still 


13  When  he  was  removed  out 
of  the  highway,  all  the  people 
went  on  after  J5'fib,  to  jrarsue 
after  She"ba  the  son  of  BIch'ri, 

14  ITAnd  he  went  through  all 
the  tribes  of  Is/ra-el  unto  Abel, 
and  to  Beth-ma'a-chah,  and  all 
the  Be'rites:  and  they  were 
gathered  together,  and  went 
also  after  him. 

15  And  they  came  and  be- 
sieged him  in  AT>el  of  Be*th- 
mSa-chah,  and  they  cast  up  a 
bank  against  the  city,  and  it 
stood  in  the  trench :  and  all  the 
people  that  were  with  Jo'ab  bat- 
tered the  wall,  to  throw  it  down. 

16  HThen  cried  a  wise  woman 
out  of  the  city,  Hear,  hear ;  say, 
I  pray  you,  unto  Jffa'D,  Come 
near  hither,  that  I  may  speak 
with  thee. 

17  And  when  he  was  come 
near  unto  her,  the  woman  said, 
Art  thou  Jd'ab?  And  he  an- 
swered, I  am  he.  Then  she 
said  unto  him,  Hear  the  words 
of  thine  handmaid.  And  he  an- 
swered, I  do  hear. 

18  Then  she  spake,  saying, 
They  were  wont  to  speak  in  old 
time,  saying,  They  shall  surely 
ask  counsel  at  A'bel:  and  so 
they  ended  the  matter. 

19  I  am  one  of  them  that  are 
peaceable  and  faithful  in  Is'ra- 
el:  thou  seekest  to  destroy  a 
city  and  a  mother  in  Is/ra-el: 
why  wilt  thou  swallow  up  the 
inheritance  of  the  Lord?. 

20  And  Jft'fib  answered  and 
said,  Far  be  it,  far  be  it  from 
me,  that  I  should  swallow  up  or 
destroy. 

21  The  matter  is  not  so :  but 
a  man  of  mount  E'phrfi-f  m,  ShS'- 
ba  the  son  of  BIch'ri  by  name, 
hath  lifted  up  his  hand  against 
the  king,  even  against  Di'vid : 
deliver  him  only,  and  I  will  de- 
part from  the  city.  And  the 
woman  said  unto  Jo'ab,  Behold, 
his  head  shall  be  thrown  to  thee 
over  the  wall. 

22  Then  the  woman  went  un- 
to all  the  people  in  her  wisdom. 
And  they  cut  off  the  head  of 
She'ba  the  son  of  BIch'ri,  and 
cast  it  out  to  JS'fib.  And  he 
blew  a  trumpet,  and  they  retired 
from  the  city,  every  man  to  his 
tent  And  JdlLb  returned  to  JS- 
ru'sa-lem  unto  the  king. 

23  t  Now  Jd'ab  was  over  all 
the  host  of  Is/ra-el :  and  BS-nft'- 
iah  the  son  of  J€-hoi'a-da  was 
over  the  CheYe-thites  and  over 
the  PeTe-thites: 

24  And  A-dd'ram  was  over  the 
tribute:  and  JS-hdsh'a-phfit  the 
son  of  A-hilud  was  recorder

CHAPTER  21 

The  three  years  of  famine  for  the 
QHbeonUes  cease,  by  hanging  eeven 
of  Saul's  eon*.  10  Rizpah's  kind- 
ness unto  the  dead.  12  David  bur- 
ies the  bones  of  Saul  and  Jonathan 
in  their  father's  sepulchre. 

THEN  there  was  a  famine  in 
the  days  of  Dft'vid  three 
years,  year  after  year;  andDft'- 
vid  enquired  of  the  Lord.  And 
the  Lord  answered,  It  is  for 
Saul,  and  for  his  bloody  house, 
because  he  slew  the  Glb'e-on- 
ites. 

2  And  the  king  called  the  Gib'- 
e-on-ites,  and  said  unto  them; 
(now  the  Gib'e-on-ites  were  not 
of  the  children  of  ls'ra-el,  but  of 
the  remnant  of  the  Am'dr-ites; 
and  the  children  of  ls'ra-el  had 
sworn  unto  them:   and   Saul 

light  to  slay  them  in  his  zeal 
to  the  children  of  ls'ra-el  and 
JG'dah.) 

3  Wherefore  Dft'vid  said  unto 
the  Gib'e-on-ites,  What  shall  I  do 
for  you?  and  wherewith  shall  I 
make  the  atonement,  that  ye 
may  bless  the  inheritance  of  the 
Lord? 

4  And  the  Gib'e-on-ites  said 
unto  him,  We  will  have  no  silver 
nor  gold  of  Saul,  nor  of  his 
house ;  neither  for  us  shalt  thou 
kill  any  man  in  ls'ra-el.    And  he 

id,  What  ye  shall  say,  that 
will  I  do  for  you. 

5  And  they  answered  the  king, 
The  man  that  consumed  us,  and 
that  devised  against  us  that  we 
should  be  destroyed  from  re- 
maining in  any  of  the  coasts  of 
ls'ra-el, 

6  Let  seven  men  of  his  sons 
be  delivered  unto  us,  and  we 
will  hang  them  up  unto  the 
Lord  in  Gib'e-ah  of  Saul,  whom 
the  Lord  did  choose.  And  the 
king  said,  I  will  give  them. 

7  But  the  king  spared  M&phlb'- 
o-ahSth,  the  son  of  Jdn'a-than 
the  son  of  Saul,  because  of  the 
Lord's  oath  that  woe  between 
them,  between  Dft'vid  and  Jdn'- 
a-than the  son  of  Saul 

8  But  the  king  took  the  two 
sons  of  Rlz'pah  the  daughter  of 
A-i'ah,  whom  she  bare  unto  Saul, 
Ar-mO'ni  and  MS-phlb'c-she'th  ; 
and  the  five  sons  of  MTchal 
the  daughter  of  Saul,  whom  she 
brought  up  for  A'dri-el  the  son 
of  Bar-zilla-i  the  M6-h51'ath-lte 

9  And  he  delivered  them  into 
the  hands  of  the  Clb'e-on-ites, 
and  they  hanged  them  in  the 


hill  before  the  Lord:  and  they 
fell  all  seven  together,  and  were 
put  to  death  in  the  days  of  har- 
vest, in  the  first  days,  in  the  be- 
ginning of  barley  harvest 

10  1TAnd  Rlz'pah  the  daughter 
of  A-i'ah  took  sackcloth,  and 
spread  it  for  her  upon  the  rock, 
from  the  beginning  of  harvest 
until  water  dropped  upon  them 
out  of  heaven,  and  suffered 
neither  the  birds  of  the  air  to 
rest  on  them  by  day,  nor  the 
beasts  of  the  field  by  night 

11  And  it  was  told  Dft'vid what 
Rlz'pah  the  daughter  of  A-i'ah, 
the  concubine  of  Saul,  had  done. 

12  And  Dft'vid  went  and  took 
the  bones  of  Saul  and  the  bones 
of  Jdn'a-than  his  son  from  the 
men  of  jrbeshHHl'e-fid,  which 
had  stolen  them  from  the  street 
of  Btth'-shfin,  where  the  Phl- 
Hs'tines  had  hanged  them,  when 
the  PhMis'tlnet  had  slain  Saul 
in  Gil-bd'a: 

13  And  he  brought  up  from 
thence  the  bones  of  Saul  and 
the  bones  of  Jdn'a-than  his  son ; 
and  they  gathered  the  bones  of 
them  that  were  hanged. 

14  And  the  bones  of  Saul  and 
Jdn'a-than  his  son  buried  they 
in  the  country  of  Ben'ja-min  in 
Zelah,  in  the  sepulchre  of  KIsh 
his  father :  and  they  performed 
all  that  the  king  commanded. 
And  after  that  God  was  in- 
treated  for  the  land. 

15  %  Moreover  the  Phi-lis'tines 
had  yet  war  again  with  ls'ra-el ; 
and  Dft'vid  went  down,  and  his 
servants  with  him,  and  fought 
against  the  Phi-Hs'tlnes:  and 
Dft'vid  waxed  faint 

16  And  Ish'bi-bS-nSb,  which 
was  of  the  sons  of  the  giant, 
the  weight  of  whose  spear 
weighed  three  hundred  shekels 
of  brass  in  weight  he  being 
girded  with  a  new  swora, 
thought  to  have  slain  Dft'vid. 

17  But  A-blsh'a-i  the  son  of 
Zer-u-i'ah  succoured  him,  and 
smote  th£  PM-Hs'tine,  and 
killed  him.  Then  the  men  of 
Dft'vid  sware  unto  him,  saying, 
Thou  shalt  go  no  more  out  with 
us  to  battle,  that  thou  quench 
not  the  light  of  ls'ra-el. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
this,  that  there  was  again  a 
battle  with  the  Phl-Hs'tlnes  at 
GdV.  then  Sib'be-chfti  the  Hu'- 
shath-lte  slew  Sfiph,  which  was 
of  the  sons  of  the  giant 

19  And  there  was  again  a  bat- 
tle in  G6b  with  the  Phi-lis'tines, 
where  fil-hft'nan  the  son  of  Jft- 
aTe-dre-gim,  a  BeW-lS-hem-ite, 
slew  the  brother  of  G&-li'ath

the  Git'tite,  the  staff  of  whose 
spear  was  like  a  weaver's  beam. 

20  And  there  was  yet  a  battle 
in  G&th,  where  was  a  man  of 
great  stature,  that  had  on  every 
hand  six  fingers,  and  on  every 
foot  six  toes,  four  and  twenty 
in  number;  and  he  also  was 
born  to  the  giant. 

21  And  when  he  defied  Is/ra-el, 
JOn'a-than  the  son  of  Shlm'e-ah 
the  brother  of  Da'vid  slew  him. 

22  These  four  were  born  to 
the  giant  in  G&th,  and  fell  by 
the  hand  of  Da'vid,  and  by  the 
hand  of  his  servants. 

CHAPTER  22 

David?*  psalm  of  thanksgiving  for 

God's  powerful  deliverance,  and 

manifold  blessings. 

AND  Dfi'vid  spake  unto  the 
Lord  the  words  of  this  song 
in  the  day  that  the  Lord  had 
delivered  him  out  of  the  hand 
of  all  his  enemies,  and  out  of 
the  hand  of  Saul : 

2  And  he  said,  The  Lord  is  my 
rock,  and  my  fortress,  and  my 
deliverer; 

3  The  God  of  my  rock ;  in  him 
will  I  trust:  he  is  my  shield, 
and  the  horn  of  my  salvation, 
my  high  tower,  and  my  refuge, 
my  saviour;  thou  savest  me 
from  violence. 

4  I  will  call  on  the  Lord,  who 
is  worthy  to  be  praised:  so 
shall  I  be  saved  from  mine 
enemies. 

5  When  the  waves  of  death 
compassed  me,  the  floods  of  un- 
godly men  made  me  afraid ; 

6  The  sorrows  of  hell  com- 
passed me  about;  the  snares  of 
death  prevented  me ; 

7  In  my  distress  I  called  upon 
the  Lord,  and  cried  to  my  God : 
and  he  did  hear  my  voice  out  of 
his  temple,  and  my  cry  did  en- 
ter into  his  ears. 

8  Then  the  earth  shook 'and 
trembled;  the  foundations  of 
heaven  moved  and  shook,  be- 
cause he  was  wroth. 

9  There  went  up  a  smoke  out 
of  his  nostrils,  and  fire  out  of 
his  mouth  devoured :  coals  were 
kindled  by  it 

10  He  bowed  the  heavens  also, 
and  came  down ;  and  darkness 
was  under  his  feet 

11  And  he  rode  upon  a  cherub, 
and  did  fly:  and  ne  was  seen 
upon  the  wings  of  the  wind. 

12  And  he  made  darkness  pa- 
vilions round  about  him,  dark 
waters,  and  thick  clouds  of  the 
skies. 

13  Through  the  brightness  be- 
fore him  were  coals  of  fire 
kindled. 


14  The  Lord  thundered  from 
heaven,  and  the  most  High  ut- 
tered his  voice. 

15  And  he  sent  out  arrows, 
and  scattered  them ;  lightning, 
and  discomfited  them. 

16  And  the  channels  of  the 
sea  appeared,  the  foundations 
of  the  world  were  discovered, 
at  the  rebuking  of  the  Lord,  at 
the  blast  of  the  breath  of  his 
nostrils. 

17  He  sent  from  above,  he 
took  me;  he  drew  me  out  of 
many  waters ; 

18  He  delivered  me  from  my 
strong  enemy,  and  from  them 
that  hated  me:  for  they  were 
too  strong  for  me. 

19  They  prevented  me  in  the 
day  of  my  calamity:  but  the 
Lord  was  my  stay. 

20  He  brought  me  forth  also 
into  a  large  place :  he  delivered 
me,  because  he  delighted  in 
me. 

21  The  Lord  rewarded  me  ac- 
cording to  my  righteousness 
according  to  the  cleanness  of 
my  hands  hath  he  recompensed 
me. 

22  For  I  have  kept  the  ways 
of  the  Lord,  and  have  not  wick- 
edly departed  from  my  God. 

23  For  all  his  judgments  were 
before  me:  and  as  for  his 
statutes,  I  did  not  depart  from 
them. 

24  I  was  also  upright  before 
him,  and  have  kept  myself  from 
mine  iniquity. 

25  Therefore  the  Lord  hath 
recompensed  me  according  to 
my  righteousness ;  according  to 
my  cleanness  in  his  eye  sight 

26  With  the  merciful  thou 
wilt  shew  thyself  merciful,  and 
with  the  upright  man  thou  wilt 
shew  thyself  upright 

27  With  the  pure  thou  wilt 
shew  thyself  pure;  and  with 
the  froward  thou  wilt  shew  thy- 
self unsavoury. 

28  And  the  afflicted  people 
thou  wilt  save :  but  thine  eves 
are  upon  the  haughty,  that 
thou  mayest  bring  them  down. 

29  For  thou  art  my  lamp,  O 
Lord  :  and  the  Lord  will  lighten 
my  darkness. 

30  For  by  thee  I  have  run 
through  a  troop:  by  mv  God 
have  I  leaped  over  a  wall. 

31  As  for  God,  his  way  is  per- 
fect; the  word  of  the  Lord  is 
tried:  he  is  a  buckler  to  all 
them  that  trust  in  him. 

32  For  who  is  God,  save  the 
Lord?  and  who  is  a  rock,  save 
our  God?

power :  and  he  maketh  my  way 
perfect 

34  He  maketh  my  feet  like 
hinds*  feet:  and  setteth  me 
upon  my  hieh  places. 

35  He  teacneth  my  hands  to 
war;  so  that  a  bow  of  steel  is 
broken  by  mine  arms. 

36  Thou  hast  also  given  me 
the  shield  of  thy  salvation :  and 
thy  gentleness  hath  made  me 
great 

37  Thou  hast  enlarged  my 
steps  under  me;  so  that  my 
feet  did  not  slip. 

38  I  have  pursued  mine  ene- 
mies, and  destroyed  them ;  and 
turned  not  again  until  I  had 
consumed  them. 

39  And  I  have  consumed  them, 
and  wounded  them,  that  they 
could  not  arise:  yea,  they  are 
fallen  under  my  feet 

40  For  thou  hast  girded  me 
with  strength  to  battle:  them 
that  rose  up  against  me  hast 
thou  subdued  under  me. 

41  Thou  hast  also  given  me 
the  necks  of  mine  enemies,  that 
I  might  destroy  them  that  hate 
me. 

42  They  looked,  but  there 
was  none  to  save;  even  unto 
the  Lord,  but  he  answered  them 
not 

43  Then  did  I  beat  them  as 
small  as  the  dust  of  the  earth, 
I  did  stamp  them  as  the  mire  of 
the  street,  and  did  spread  them 
abroad. 

44  Thou  also  hast  delivered 
me  from  the  strivings  of  my 
people,  thou  hast  kept  me  to  be 
head  of  the  heathen :  a  people 
which  I  knew  not  shall  serve 
me, 

45  Strangers  shall  submit 
themselves  unto  me:  as  soon 
as  they  hear,  they  shall  be 
obedient  unto  me. 

46  Strangers  shall  fade  away, 
and  they  shall  be  afraid  out  of 
their  close  places. 

47  The  Lord  liveth ;  and 
blessed  be  my  rock;  and  ex- 
alted be  the  God  of  the  rock 
of  my  salvation. 

48  It  is  God  that  avengeth  me, 
and  that  bringeth  down  the  peo- 
ple under  me, 

49  And  that  bringeth  me  forth 
from  mine  enemies:  thou  also 
hast  lifted  me  up  on  high  above 
them  that  rose  up  against  me : 
thou  hast  delivered  me  from 
the  violent  man. 

50  Therefore  I  will  give  thanks 
unto  thee,  O  Lord,  among  the 
heathen,  and  I  will  sing  praises 
unto  thy  name. 

51  He  is  the  tower  of  salva 


tion  for  his  king :  and  sheweth 
mercy  to  his  anointed,  unto  Da'- 
vid,  and  to  his  seed  for  ever- 
more. 

CHAPTER  23 

Mm  faith  in  God's 
a  catalogue  o/  A*» 


David  prof  a 
promise*: 
mighty  men. 


NOW  these  be  the  last 
words  of  David.  Da'vid 
the  son  of  Jes'se  said,  and  the 
man  who  was  raised  up  on  high, 
the  anointed  of  the  God  of  Jft'- 
cob,  and  the  sweet  psalmist  of 
Is/ra-el,  said, 

2  The  Spirit  of  the  Lord  spake 
by  me,  and  his  word  was  in  my 
tongue. 

3  The  God  of  Is/ra-el  said,  the 
Rock  of  Is/ra-el  spake  to  me,  He 
that  ruleth  over  men  must  be 
just  ruling  in  the  fear  of  God. 

4  And  he  shall  be  as  the  light 
of  the  morning,  when  the  sun 
riseth,  even  a  morning  with- 
out clouds;  as  the  tender  grass 
swinging  out  of  the  earth  by 
clear  shining  after  rain. 

5  Although  my  house  be  not 
so  with  God ;  yet  he  hath  made 
with  me  an  everlasting  cove- 
nant ordered  in  all  things,  and 
sure :  for  this  is  all  my  salva- 
tion, and  all  my  desire,  although 
he  make  it  not  to  grow. 

6  But  the  sons  ofBgll-al  shall 
be  all  of  them  as  thorns  thrust 
away,  because  they  cannot  be 
taken  with  hands : 

7  But  the  man  that  shall  touch 
them  must  be  fenced  with  iron 
and  the  staff  of  a  spear;  and 
they  shall  be  utterly  burned 
with  fire  in  the  same  place. 

8  HThese  be  the  names  of  the 
mighty  men  whom  Da'vid  had : 
The  Tach'mo-nite  that  sat  in 
the  seat  chief  among  the  cap- 
tains; the  same  was  Adl-nd 
the  fiz'nite:  he  lift  up  his 
spear  against  eight  hundred, 
whom  he  slew  at  one  time. 

9  And  after  him  was  E-le-a'- 
zar  the  son  of  DO'dd  the  A-h6'- 
hite,  one  of  the  three  mighty 
men  with  Da'vid,  when  they  de- 
fied the  Phi-lis'tf  nes  that  were 
there  gathered  together  to  bat- 
tle, and  the  men  of  f  g'ra-el  were 
gone  away: 

10  He  arose,  and  smote  the 
Phi-Hs'tfnea  until  his  hand  was 
weary,  and  his  hand  clave  un- 
to the  sword:  and  the  Lord 
wrought  a  great  victory  that 
day;  and  the  people  returned 
after  him  only  to  spoil. 

11  And  after  him  was  Shfim'- 
mah  the  son  of  Ag'e-e  the  Ha'ra- 
rite.  And  the  Phl-Hs'tinea  were 
gathered  together  into  a  troop,

where  was  a  piece  of  ground 
full  of  leu  tiles:  and  the  people 
fled  from  the  Phi-lis'tine*. 

12  But  he  stood  in  the  midst 
of  the  ground,  and  defended  it, 
and  slew  the  Phl-lls'tlnes :  and 
the  Lord  wrought  a  great  vic- 
tory. 

13  And  three  of  the  thirty 
chief  went  down,  and  came  to 
Da'vid  in  the  harvest  time  an* 
!  to  the  cave  of  A-dflllftm :  and 
the  troop  of  the  Phi-lis'tines 
pitched  m  the  valley  of  R£ph'- 
a-Im. 

14  And  Da'vid  was  then  in  an 
hold,  and  the  garrison  of  the 
Phi-lis'tines  whm  then  in  B£th'~ 
]£-hem. 

15  And  Da'vid  longed,  and 
said,  Oh  that  one  would  give 
me  drink  of  the  water  of  the 
well  of  B£th'-ie-hem,  which  is 
by  the  gate ! 

16  And  the  three  mighty  men 
brake  through  the  host  of  the 
Phi-fis'tinea,  and  drew  water 
out  of  the  well  of  B€th'-lfc-hem, 
that  was  by  the  gate,  and  took 
it,  and  brought  it  to  Da'vid: 
nevertheless  he  would  not  drink 
thereof,  but  poured  it  out  unto 
the  Lord. 

17  And  he  said,  Be  it  far  from 
me,  O  Lord,  that  I  should  do 
this:  is  not  this  the  blood  of 
the  men  that  went  in  jeopardy 
of  their  lives  7  therefore  he 
would  not  drink  it  These 
things  did  these  three  mighty 
men. 

18  And  A-biah'a-i,  the  brother 
of  Jd'&b,  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah, 
was  chief  among  three.  And 
he  lifted  up  his  spear  against 
three  hundred,  and  slew  them, 
and  had  the  name  among  three. 

19  Was  he  not  most  honoura- 
ble of  three?  therefore  he  was 
their  captain:  howbeit  he  at- 
tained not  unto  the  first  three. 

20  And  B£-nS'iah  the  son  of 
J£-hoiVda,  the  son  of  a  valiant 
man,  of  K&b'ze-el,  who  had  done 
many  acts,  he  slew  two  lionlike 
men  of  MS'ab:  he  went  down 
also  and  slew  a  lion  in  the  midst 
of  a  pit  in  time  of  snow : 

21  And  he  slew  an  £-£fp'tian, 
a  goodly  man :  and  the  E-gyp'- 
tian  had  a  spear  in  his  hand; 
but  he  went  down  to  him  with 
a  staff,  and  plucked  the  spear 
out  of  the  £-gjrp'tian's  hand,  and 
slew  him  with  his  own  spear. 

22  These  things  did  Bfc-na'iah 
the  son  of  JS-hoi'a-da,  and  had 
the  name  among  three  mighty 
men. 

23  He  was  more  honourable 
than  the  thirty,  but  he  attained 


not  to  the  first  three.     And 
DSVid  set  him  over  his  guard. 

24  A's*Ml,  the  brother  of  J0'-

CHAPTER  24 
David  numbers  the  people:   10  he, 
having  three  plague*  propounded 
by  Gad,  repent*,  and  chooses  three 
days'  pestilence:    15  hie  interces- 
sion to  God:  the  plague  ceases. 
AND  again  the  anger  of  the 
Lord  was  kindled  against 
Is'ra-el,  and  he  moved  Dfi'vid 
against  them  to  say,  Go,  num- 
ber ls'ra-el  and  Ju'dah. 

2  For  the  king  said  to  Jd'ab 
the  captain  of  the  host,  which 
was  with  him,  Go  now  through 
all  the  tribes  of  Is/ra-el,  from 
Dan  even  to  B€'er-sh5/bi>  and 
number  ye  the  people,  that  I 
may  know  the  number  of  the 
people. 

3  And  JdUb  said  unto  the 
king,  Now  the  Lord  thy  God 
add  unto  the  people,  how  many 
soever  they  be,  an  hundredfold, 
and  that  the  eyes  of  my  lord 
the  king  may  see  it ;  but  why 
doth  my  lord  the  king  delight 
in  this  thing?

word  prevailed  against  JS'Sb,  pointed:  and  there  died  of  the 
and  against  the  captains  of  the  [people  from  Dan  even  to  BeYer- 
host    And  Jo'fib  and  the  cap- sheba  seventy  thousand  men. 


tains  of  the  host  went  out  from 
the  presence  of  the  king,  to 
number  the  people  of   Is/ra-eL. 

5  And  they  passed  over  Jor- 
dan, and  pitched  in  Ar'o-er,  on 
the  right  side  of  the  city  that 
lieth  in  the  midst  of  the  river 
of  Gfid,  and  toward  Ja'zer: 

6  Then  they  came  to  Gll'e-ad, 
and  to  the  land  of  Tah'tim-h6d'- 
shi ;  and  they  came  to  Dftn-ja'- 
an,  and  about  to  Zi'dfln, 

7  And  came  to  the  strong  hold 
of  Tyre,  and  to  all  the  cities  of 
the  HiVites,  and  of  the  Cfi'- 
naan-ites:  and  they  went  out 
to  the  south  of  Ju'dah,  even  to 
Be'er-shrba. 

8  So  when  they  had  gone 
through  all  the  land,  they  came 
to  JeVru'sa-lem  at  the  end  of 
nine  months  and  twenty  days. 

9  And  J6'&b  gave  up  the  sum 
of  the  number  of  the  people  un- 
to the  king :  and  there  were  in 
ls/ra-el  eight  hundred  thousand 
valiant  men  that  drew  the 
sword ;  and  the  men  of  Ju'dah 
were  five  hundred  thousand 
men. 

10  ITAnd  Da'vid's  heart  smote 
him  after  that  he  had  numbered 
the  people.  And  D&'vid  said 
unto  the  Lord,  I  have  sinned 
greatly  in  that  I  have  done: 
and  now,  I  beseech  thee,  0 
Lord,  take  away  the  iniquity 
of  thy  servant;  for  I  have  done 
very  foolishly. 

11  For  when  Da'vid  was  up  in 
the  morning,  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  the  prophet 
Gad,  Da'vid's  seer,  saying, 

12  Go  and  say  unto  D&'vid, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  I  offer 
thee  three  things ;  choose  thee 
one  of  them,  that  I  may  do  it 
unto  thee. 

13  So  G&d  came  to  Dfi'vid,  and 
told  him,  and  said  unto  him, 
Shall  seven  years  of  famine 
come  unto  thee  in  thy  land? 
or  wilt  thou  flee  three  months 
before  thine  enemies,  while  they 
pursue  thee?  or  that  there  be 
three  days'  pestilence  in  thy 
land  ?  now  advise,  and  see  what 
answer  I  shall  return  to  him 
that  sent  me. 

14  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Gfid, 
I  am  in  a  great  strait:  let  us 
fall  now  into  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  ;  for  his  mercies  are  great : 
and  let  me  not  fall  into  the 
hand  of  man. 

15  f  So  the  Lord  sent  a  pesti- 
lence upon  ls'ra-el  from  the 
morning  even  to  the  time  ap- 


16  And  when  the  angel 
stretched  out  his  hand  upon 
Je-ru'sa-lem  to  destroy  it,  the 
Lord  repented  him  of  the  evil, 
and  said  to  the  angel  that  de- 
stroyed the  people,  It  is  enough : 
stay  now  thine  hand.  And  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  was  by  the 
threshingplace  of  A-rau'nah 
the  JeVu-site. 

17  And  Da'vid  spake  unto  the 
Lord  when  he  saw  the  angel 
that  smote  the  people,  and  said, 
Lo,  I  have  sinned,  and  I  have 
done  wickedly :  but  these  sheep, 
what  have  they  done  ?  let  thine 
hand,  I  pray  thee,  be  against 
me,  and  against  my  father's 
house. 

18  f  And  G&d  came  that  day  to 
Da'vid,  and  said  unto  him,  Go 
up,  rear  an  altar  unto  the  Lord 
in  the  threshingfloor  of  A-rau'- 
nah the  JeVu-site. 

19  And  D&'vid,  according  to 
the  saying  of  G&d,  went  up  as 
the  Lord  commanded. 

20  And  A-rau'nah  looked,  and 
saw  the  king  and  his  servants 
coming  on  toward  him:  and 
A-rau'nah  went  out,  and  bowed 
himself  before  the  king  on  his 
face  upon  the  ground. 

21  And  A-rau'nah  said,  Where- 
fore is  my  lord  the  king  come 
to  his  servant  ?  And  D&'vid  said, 
To  buy  the  threshingfloor  of 
thee,  to  build  an  altar  unto  the 
Lord,  that  the  plague  may  be 
stayed  from  the  people. 

22  And  A-rau'nah  said  unto 
Da'vid,  Let  my  lord  the  king 
take  and  offer  up  what  seemeth 
good  unto  him :  behold,  here  be 
oxen  for  burnt  sacrifice,  and 
threshing  instruments  and 
other  instruments  of  the  oxen 
for  wood. 

23  All  these  things  did  A-rau'- 
nah, as  a  king,  give  unto  the 
king.  And  A-rau  nah  said  unto 
the  king,  The  Lord  thy  God 
accept  thee. 

24  And  the  king  said  unto 
A-rau'nah,  Nay ;  but  I  will  sure- 
ly buy  it  of  thee  at  a  price: 
neither  will  I  offer  burnt  offer- 
ings unto  the  Lord  my  God  of 
that  which  doth  cost  me  noth- 
ing. So  Da'vid  bought  the 
threshingfloor  and  the  oxen  for 
fifty  shekels  of  silver. 

25  And  D&'vid  built  there  an 
altar  unto  the  Lord,  and  offered 
burnt  offerings  and  peace  offer- 
ings. So  the  Lord  was  in- 
treated  for  the  land,  and  the 
plague  was  stayed  from  If'ra-eL

CHAPTER  1 

Abishag  cherishes  David  in  his  ex- 
treme age.  5  Adonijah  usurp*  the 
kingdom.  32  Solomon,  by  David's 
appointment,  is  anointed  king.  50 
Adonijah,  fleeing  to  the  home  of 
the  altar,  is  dismissed  by  Solo- 
mon. 

OW  king  Da'vid  was  old  and 
stricken  in  years;  and  they 
covered  him  with  clothes,  but 
he  gat  no  heat 

2  Wherefore  his  servants  said 
unto  him,  Let  there  be  sought 
for  my  lord  the  king  a  young 
virgin:  and  let  her  stand  before 
the  king,  and  let  her  cherish 
him,  and  let  her  lie  in  thy 
bosom,  that  my  lord  the  king 
may  get  heat 

3  So  they  sought  for  a  fair 
damsel  throughout  all  the  coasts 
of  lg'ra-el,  and  found  Abl-shag 
a  Shu'nam-mlte,  and  brought 
her  to  the  king. 

4  And  the  damsel  was  very 
fair,  and  cherished  the  king,  and 
ministered  to*  him :  but  the  king 
knew  her  not 

5  tThen  Ad-e-ni' jah  the  son  of 
HSg'gith  exalted  himself,  say- 
ing, 1  will  be  king :  and  he  pre- 
pared him  chariots  and  horse- 
men, and  fifty  men  to  run  be- 
fore him. 

6  And  his  father  had  not  dis- 
pleased him  at  any  time  in  say- 
ing, Why  hast  thou  done  so? 
and  he  also  was  a  very  goodly 
man;  and  his  mother  bare  him 
after  Ab'sa-l&m. 

7  And  he  conferred  with  J5'Sb 
the  son  of  Zer-u-rah,  and  with 
A-bi'a-thar  the  priest:  and  they 
following  Ad-o-ni'jah  helped 
him, 

8  But  Za'dflk  the  priest  and 
BS-na'iah  the  son  of  J£*hoi'- 
a-da,  and  Na'than  the  prophet 
and  Shim'e-I,  and  REl,  and  the 


to  Da'vid,  were  not  with  Ad-o- 
ni'jah. 

9  And  Ad-o-ni'jah  slew  sheep 
and  oxen  and  fat  cattle  by  the 
stone  of  ZChe-l£th,  which  is 
by  En-rS'gel,  and  called  all  his 
brethren  the  king's  sons,  and 
all  the  men  of  Jfl'dah  the  king's 
servants : 

10  But  Na'than  the  prophet 
and  Bt-na'iah,  and  the  mighty 


men,  and  S6To-mon  his  brother, 
he  called  not 

11  TWheref ore  Nft'than  spake 
unto  B&th'-shfrba  the  mother  of 
SoTo-mon,  saying,  Hast  thou  not 
heard  that  Ad-o-ni'jah  the  son  of 
Haggith  doth  reign,  and  Da'vid 
our  lord  knoweth  it  not  ? 

12  Now  therefore  come,   let 
me,  I  pray  thee,  give  thee  coun 
sel,  that  thou  mayest  save  thine 
own  life,  and  the  life  of  thy  son 
SoTo-mon. 

13  Go  and  get  thee  in  unto 
king  Da'vid,  and  say  unto  him. 
Didst  not  thou,  my  lord,  O  king, 
swear  unto  thine  handmaid,  say- 
ing, Assuredly  SoTo-mon  thy 
son  shall  reign  after  me,  and 
he  shall  sit  upon  my  throne? 
why  then  doth  Ad-o-ni'jah 
reign? 

14  Behold,  while  thou  yet  talk- 
est  there  with  the  king,  I  also 
will  come  in  after  thee,  and  con- 
firm thy  words. 

15  1T  And  Bath'-shS-ba  went 
in  unto  the  king  into  the  cham- 
ber :  and  the  king  was  very  old ; 
and  Abl-shag  the  Shu'nam-mite 
ministered  unto  the  king. 

16  And  Bath'-sh&ba  bowed, 
and  did  obeisance  unto  the 
king.  And  the  king  said,  What 
wouldest  thou  ? 

17  And  she  said  unto  him,  My 
lord,  thou  swarest  by  the  Lord 
thy  God  unto  thine  handmaid, 
saying.  Assuredly  SoTo-mon 
thy  son  shall  reign  after  me, 
and  he  shall  sit  upon  my  throne. 

18  And  now,  behold,  Ad-o-ni'- 
jah reigneth ;  and  now,  my  lord 
the  king,  thou  knowest  tt  not : 

19  And  he  hath  slain  oxen  and 
fat  cattle  and  sheep  in  abund- 
ance, and  hath  called  all  the 
sons  of  the  kins,  and  A-bi'a-thar 
the  priest  and  J6'ab  the  can- 


ity men  which   belonged]  tain  of  the  host :  but  SoTo-mon 
thy  servant  hath  he  not  called. 

20  And  thou,  my  lord,  O  king, 
the  eyes  of  all  la  ra-el  are  upon 
thee,  that  thou  shouldest  tell 
them  who  shall  sit  on  the  throne 
of  my  lord  the  king  after  him. 

21  Otherwise  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  when  my  lord  the  king 
shall  sleep  with  his  fathers, 
that  I  and  my  son  S6T< 
shall  be  counted  offenders.

the.  prophet  also  came  in. 

2$  And  they  told  the  king,  say- 
ing; Behold  Na'than  the  proph- 
et And  when  he  was  come  in 
before  the  king,  he  bowed  him- 
self before  the  king  with  his 
face  to  the  ground. 

24  And  Nathan  said,  My  lord, 
0  king,  hast  thou  said,  Ad-o-ni- 
jah  shall  reign  after  me,  and  he 
shall  sit  upon  my  throne? 

25  For  he  is  gone  down  this 
day,  and  hath  slain  oxen  and  fat 
cattle  and  sheep  in  abundance, 
and  hath  called  all  the  kino's 
sons,  and  the  captains  of  the 
host,  and  A-bi'a-thar  the  priest ; 
and,  behold,  they  eat  and  drink 
before  him,  and  say,  God  save 
king  Ad-o-ni'jah. 

26  But  me,  even  me  thy  serv- 
ant, and  Za'ddk  the  priest,  and 
B6-na'iah  the  son  of  JS-hoi'a-da, 
and  thy  servant  SoTo-mon,  hath 
he  not  called. 

27  Is  this  thing  done  by  my 
lord  the  king,  and  thou  hast  not 
shewed  it  unto  thy  servant,  who 
should  sit  on  the  throne  of  my 
lord  the  king  after  him  ? 

28  t  Then  king  David  an- 
swered and  said,  Call  me  Bith'- 
shg-ba,  And  she  came  into  the 
king's  presence,  and  stood  be- 
fore the  king. 

29  And  the  king  sware,  and 
said,  As  the  Lord  liveth,  that 
hath  redeemed  my  soul  out  of 
all  distress, 

30  Even  as  I  sware  unto  thee 
by  the  Lord  God  of  ls/ra-el,  say- 
ing, Assuredly  SoTo-mon  thy 
son  shall  reign  after  me,  and  he 
shall  sit  upon  my  throne  in  my 
stead  t  even  so  will  I  certainly 
do  this  day. 

31  Then  Bfith'-shfr-ba  bowed 
with  her  face  to  the  earth,  and 
did  reverence  to  the  king,  and 
said,  Let  my  lord  king  Dfi'vid 
live  for  ever. 

32  IT  And  king  Da'vid  said,  Call 
me  Zfi'ddk  the  priest,  and  Na'- 
than the  prophet,  and  BS-nfl'iah 
the  son  of  J£-hoi'a-da.  And 
they  came  before  the  king. 

33  The  king  also  said  unto 
them,  Take  with  you  the  serv- 
ants of  your  lord,  and  cause 
SdTo-mon  my  son  to  ride  upon 
mine  own  mule,  and  bring  him 
down  to  Gilion : 

34  And  let  Z&'dOk  the  priest 
and  Na'than  the  prophet  anoint 
him  there  king  over  Ig'ra-el: 
and  blow  ye  with  the  trumpet, 
and  say,  God  save  king  SdTo- 
mon. 

35  Then  ye  shall  come  up  after 


him,  that  he  may  come  and  sit 
upon  my  throne ;  for  he  shall  be 
king  in  my  stead:  and  I  have 
appointed  him  to  be  ruler  over 
ls/ra-el  and  over  Ju'dah. 

36  And  Be-na'iah  the  son  of 
J€-hoi'a-da  answered  the  king, 
and  said,  A-mSn':  the  Lord  God 
of  my  lord  the  king  say  so  too. 

37  As  the  Lord  hath  been  with 
my  lord  the  king,  even  so  be  he 
with  SoTo-mon,  and  make  his 
throne  greater  than  the  throne 
of  my  lord  king  Da'vid. 

38  So  Za'dok  the  priest,  and 
Na'than  the  prophet,  and  B&- 
nfi'iah  the  son  of  JS-hoi'a-da, 
and  the  CheVe-thites,  and  the 
PeTe-thites,  went  down,  and 
caused  SoTo-mon  to  ride  upon 
king  Dfi'vid's  mule,  and  brought 
him  to  Grhon. 

39  And  Zr dak  the  priest  took 
an  horn  of  oil  out  of  the  taber- 
nacle, and  anointed  S6To-mon. 
And  they  blew  the  trumpet; 
and  all  the  people  said,  God 
save  king  SoTo-mon. 

40  And  all  the  people  came  up 
after  him,  and  the  people  piped 
with  pipes,  and  rejoiced  with 
great  joy,  so  that  the  earth  rent 
with  the  sound  of  them. 

41  f  And  Ad-o-ni'jah  and  all 
the  guests  that  were  with  him 
heard  it  as  they  had  made  an 
end  of  eating.  And  when  Jd'fib 
heard  the  sound  of  the  trumpet, 
he  said,  Wherefore  is  this  noise 
of  the  city  being  in  an  uproar? 

42  And  while  he  yet  spake, 
behold,  Jdn'a-than  the  son  of 
A-bi'a-thar  the  priest  came :  and 
Ad-o-ni'jah  saia  unto  him,  Come 
in ;  for  thou  art  a  valiant  man, 
and  bringest  good  tidings. 

43  And  J5n  a-than  answered 
and  said  to  Ad-o-ni'jah,  Verily 
our  lord  king  Da'vid  hath  made 
SoTo-mon  king. 

44  And  the  king  hath  sent 
with  him  Zfi'dSk  the  priest,  and 
Na'than  the  prophet,  and  B€-nfi'- 
iah  the  son  of  J6-hoi'a-da,  and 
the  CherVthites,  and  the  PfcTe- 
thites,  and  they  have  caused 
him  to  ride  upon  the  king's 
mule: 

45  And  Za'dfik  the  priest  and 
Na'than  the  prophet  have 
anointed  him  king  in  Gilion 
and  they  are  come  up  from 
thence  rejoicing,  so  that  the 
city  rang  again.  This  is  the 
noise  that  ye  have  heard. 

46  And  also  SoTo-mon  sitteth 
on  the  throne  of  the  kingdom. 

47  And  moreover  the  king's 
servants  came  to  bless  our  lord 
king  Da'vid,  saying,  God  make 
the  name  of  SdTo-mon  better

than  thy  name,  and  make  his 
throne  greater  than  thy  throne. 
And  the  king  bowed  himself  up- 
on the  bed. 

48  And  also  thus  said  the  king, 
Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of  Is/- 
re-el,  which  hath  given  one  to 
sit  on  my  throne  this  day,  mine 
eyes  even  seeing  it 

49  And  all  the  guests  that  were 
with  Ado-ni'jah  were  afraid,  and 
rose  up,  and  went  every  man  his 
way. 

50  And  Ad-o-ni'jah  feared  be- 
cause of  SdTo-mon,  and  arose, 
and  went,  and  caught  hold  on 
the  horns  of  the  altar. 

51  And  it  was  told  Sdl'o-mon, 
saying,  Behold,  Ad-o-ni'jah  f ear- 
eth  king  SdTo-mon:  for,  lo,  he 
hath  caught  hold  on  the  horns 
of  the  altar,  saying,  Let  king 
Sdl'o-mon  swear  unto  me  to  day 
that  he  will  not  slay  his  servant 
with  the  sword. 

52  And  SoTo-mon  said,  If  he 
will  shew  himself  a  worthy  man, 
there  shall  not  an  hair  of  him 
fall  to  the  earth :  but  if  wicked- 
ness shall  be  found  in  him,  he 
shall  die. 

53  So  king  SdTo-mon  sent,  and 
they  brought  him  down  from 
the  altar.  And  he  came  and 
bowed  himself  to  king  SdTo- 
mon:  and  Sdl'o-mon  said  unto 
him,  Go  to  thine  house, 

CHAPTER  2 

David  dies.  12  Solomon  succeeds 
kim.  2$  Adonijah  slain.  28  Joab 
slain,    36  Skimsi  jmt  to  death. 

NOW  the  days  of  David  drew 
nigh  that  he  should  die; 
and  he  charged  SdTo-mon  his 
son,  saying, 

2  I  go  the  way  of  all  the  earth: 
be  thou  strong  therefore,  and 
shew  thyself  a  man ; 

3  And  keep  the  charge  of  the 
Lord  thy  God,  to  walk  in  his 
ways,  to  keep  his  statutes,  and 
his  commandments,  and  his 
judgments,  and  his  testimonies, 
as  it  is  written  in  the  law  of  Mo'- 
seg,  that  thou  may  est  prosper  in 
all  that  thou  doest,  and  whither- 
soever thou  turnest  thyself : 

4  That  the  Lord  may  continue 
his  word  which  he  spake  con- 
cerning me,  saying,  If  thy  chil- 
dren take  heed  to  their  way,  to 
walk  before  me  in  truth  with 
all  their  heart  and  with  all  their 
soul,  there  shall  not  fail  thee 
(said  he)  a  man  on  the  throne 
of  Is/ra-el. 

5  Moreover  thou  knowest  also 
what  Jd'ftb  the  son  of  Zer-u-!'ah 
did  to  me,  and  what  he  aid  to 
the  two  captains  of  the  hosts  of 
Is/ra-el,  unto  Ab'ner  the  son  of 


Nerr  and  unto  Am'a-aa  the  son 
of  Ji'ther,  whom  he  slew,  and 
shed  the  blood  of  war  in  peace, 
and  put  the  blood  of  war  upon 
his  girdle  that  woe  about  his 
loins,  and  in  his  shoes  that  were 
on  his  feet 

6  Do  therefore  according  to 
thy  wisdom,  and  let  not  his 
hoar  head  go  down  to  the  grave 
in  peace. 

7  But  shew  kindness  unto  the 
sons  of  Bfir-zilla-i  the  Gil'e4d- 
ite,  and  let  them  be  of  those 
that  eat  at  thy  table :  for  so 
they  came  to  me  when  I  fled  be- 
cause of  Ab'sa-ldm  thy  brother. 

8  And,  behold,  thou  hast  with 
thee  Shim'e-i  the  son  of  GTra, 
a  Ben'ja»mite  of  Bft-hu'rim, 
which  cursed  me  with  a  griev- 
ous curse  in  the  day  when  1  went 
to  Ma-ha-na'im:  but  he  came 
down  to  meet  me  at  Jdr'dan, 
and  I  sware  to  him  by  the  Lord, 
saying,  I  will  not  put  thee  to 
death  with  the  sword. 

9  Now  therefore  hold  him  not 
guiltless:  for  thou  art  a  wise 
man,  and  knowest  what  thou 
oughtest  to  do  unto  him;  but 
his  hoar  head  bring  thou  down 
to  the  grave  with  blood. 

10  IF  So  Da'vid  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  was  buried  in  the 
city  of  Di'vid. 

11  And  the  days  that  Da'vid 
reigned  over  Is/ra-el  were  forty 
years :  seven  years  reigned  he 
in  He^bron,  and  thirty  and  three 
years  reigned  he  in  JS-ru/s&-lem. 

12  HThen  sat  Sdl'o-mon  upon 
the  throne  of  Da'vid  his  father ; 
and  his  kingdom  was  estab- 
lished greatly. 

13  It  And  Ad-o-nl'jah  the  son  of 
Haa/gith  came  to  Bath'-she-ba 
the  mother  of  Sdl'o-mon.  And 
she  said,  Comest  thou  peacea- 
bly ?    And  he  said,  Peaceably. 

14  He  said  moreover,  I  have 
somewhat  to  say  unto  thee.  And 
she  said,  Say  on. 

15  And  he  said,  Thou  knowest 
that  the  kingdom  was  mine,  and 
that  all  ls/ra-el  set  their  faces  on 
me,  that  I  should  reign :  howbeit 
the  kingdom  is  turned  about, 
and  is  become  my  brother's: 
for  it  was  his  from  the  Lord. 

16  And  now  I  ask  one  petition 
of  thee,  deny  me  not  And  she 
said  unto  him,  Say  on. 

17  And  he  said,  Speak,  I  pray 
thee,  unto  Sdl'o-mon  the  king, 
(for  he  will  not  say  thee  nay,) 
that  he  give  me  Abl-shag  the 
Shu'nam-mite^o  wife. 

18  And  Bath'-she-ba  said, 
Well ;  I  will  speak  for  thee  unto 
the  king.

19  IT  Bfith'-shS-ba  therefore 
went  unto  king  SoTo-raon,  to 
speak  unto  him  for  Ad-o-nl'jah. 
And  the  king  rose  up  to  meet 
her,  and  bowed  himself  unto 
her,  and  sat  down  on  his  throne, 
and  caused  a  seat  to  be  set  for 
the  king's  mother;  and  she  sat 
on  his  right  hand. 

20  Then  she  said,  I  desire  one 
small  petition  of  thee ;  /  pray 
thee,  say  me  not  nay.  And  the 
king  said  unto  her,  Ask  on,  my 
mother:  for  I  will  not  say  thee 
nay. 

21  And  she  said,  Let  Abl-ah&g 
the  Shu'nam-mite  be  given  to 
Ad-o-ni'jah  thy  brother  to  wife. 

22  And  kino;  Sdl'o-mon  an 
swered  and  said  unto  his  moth- 
er, And  why  dost  thou  ask  Ahl- 
shag  the  Shu'nam-mite  for  Ad- 
o-ni  jah  ?  ask  for  him  the  king- 
dom also ;  for  he  is  mine  elder 
brother;  even  for  him,  and  for 
A-bi'a-thar  the  priest,  and  for 
JS'fib  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah. 

23  Then  king  Sol'o-mon  sware 
by  the  Lord,  saying,  God  do  so 
to  me,  and  more  also,  if  Ad-o- 
ni'jah  have  not  spoken  this 
word  against  his  own  life. 

24  Now  therefore,  as  the  Lord 
liveth,  which  hath  established 
me,  and  set  me  on  the  throne  of 
Da'vid  my  father,  and  who  hath 
made  me  an  house,  as  he  prom- 
ised, Ad-o-ni'jah  shall  be  put  to 
death  this  day. 

25  And  king  Sol'o-mon  sent  by 
the  hand  of  BS-nfi'iah  the  son 
of  Je-hoi'a-da ;  and  he  fell  upon 
him  that  he  died. 

26  t And  unto  A-bi'a-thar  the 
priest  said  the  king,  Get  thee 
to  An'a-th5th,  unto  thine  own 
fields;  for  thou  art  worthy  of 
death:  but  I  will  not  at  this 
time  put  {hee  to  death,  because 
thou  barest  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
God  before  Da'vid  my  father, 
and  because  thou  hast  been  af- 
flicted in  all  wherein  my  father 
was  afflicted. 

27  So  Sol'o-mon  thrust  out 
A-bi'a-thar  from  being  priest  un- 
to the  Lord  ;  that  he  might  ful- 
fil the  word  of  the  Lord,  which 
he  spake  concerning  the  house 
of  El!  in  Shilon. 

28  tThen  tidings  came  to  J6'- 
fib:  for  J8'*b  had  turned  after 
Ad-o-ni'jah,  though  he  turned 
not  after  Ab'sa-15m.  And  Jo'- 
fib  fled  unto  the  tabernacle  of 
the  Lord,  and  caught  hold  on 
the  horns  of  the  altar. 

29  And  it  was  .told  king  Sol'- 
o-mon that  JS'fib  was  fled  unto 
the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord; 
and,  behold,  he  is  by  the  altar. 


Then  Sol'o-mon  sent  B6-nfi'iah 
the  son  of  JS-hoi'a-da,  saying, 
Go,  fall  upon  him. 

30  And  B€-na'iah  came  to  the 
tabernacle  of  the  Lord,  and 
said  unto  him,  Thus  saith  the 
king,  Come  forth.  And  he  said, 
Nay;  but  I  will  die  here.  And 
BeVnfi'iah  brought  the  king  word 
again,  saying,  Thus  said  Jfl'ib, 
and  thus  he  answered  me. 

31  And  the  king  said  unto 
him,  Do  as  he  hath  said,  and 
fall  upon  him,  and  bury  him; 
that  thou  mayest  take  away  the 
innocent  blood,  which  JO'ftb 
shed,  from  me,  and  from  the 
house  of  my  father. 

32  And  the  Lord  shall  return 
his  blood  upon  his  own  head, 
who  fell  upon  two  men  more 
righteous  and  better  than  he, 
and  slew  them  with  the  sword, 
my  father  Da'vid  not  knowing 
thereof,  to  wit,  Ab'ner  the  son 
of  Ner,  captain  of  the  host  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  Am'a-sa  the  son  of 
Jg'ther,  captain  of  the  host  of 
Ju'dah. 

33  Their  blood  shall  therefore 
return  upon  the  head  of  Jo'Sb, 
and  upon  the  head  of  his  seed 
for  ever:  but  upon  Da'vid,  and 
upon  his  seed,  and  upon  his 
house,  and  upon  his  throne, 
shall  there  be  peace  for  ever 
from  the  Lord. 

34  So  Be-na'iah  the  son  of  J£- 
hoi'a-da  went  up,  and  fell  upon 
him,  and  slew  him :  and  he  was 
buried  in  his  own  house  in  the 
wilderness. 

35  tAnd  the  king  put  Be-na'- 
iah the  son  of  JS-hoi  a-da  in  his 
room  over  the  host:  and  Zfi 
d5k  the  priest  did  the  king  put 
in  the  room  of  A-bi'a-thar, 

36  1FAnd  the  king  sent  and 
called  for  Shim'e-1,  and  said  un- 
to him,  Build  thee  an  house  in 
J&ru'sfi-leni,  and  dwell  there, 
and  go  not  forth  thence  any 
whither. 

37  For  it  shall  be,  that  on  the 
day  thou  goest  out,  and  passest 
over  the  brook  KId'ron,  thou 
shalt  know  for  certain  that  thou 
shalt  surely  die :  thy  blood  shall 
be  upon  thine  own  head. 

36  And  Shlm'e-i  said  unto  the 
king,  The  saying  is  good:  as  my 
lord  the  king  hath  said,  so  will 
thy  servant  do.  And  Shhn'e-I 
dwelt  in  J6-ru'sa-lgm  many  days. 

39  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  three  years,  that  two 
of  the  servants  of  Shlm'e-i  ran 
away  unto  A'chish  son  of  Mfi'a- 
chah  king  of  Gfith.    And  they 


told  Shlm'e-i,  saying,  Behold, 
thy  servants  be  in  Gfith.

40  And  Shfm'e-i  arose,  and 
saddled  his  ass,  and  went  to 
Gath  to  A'chish  to  seek  his 
servants:  and  Shlm'e-i  went, 
and  brought  his  servants  from 
Gath. 

41  And  it  was  told  SdTo-mon 
that  Shim'e-i  had  gone  from 
JS-ru/sa-lem  to  Gath,  and  was 
come  again. 

42  And  the  king  sent  and 
called  for  Shim'e-i,  and  said  un- 
to him,  Did  I  not  make  thee  to 
swear  by  the  Lord,  and  pro- 
tested unto  thee,  saying,  Know 
for  a  certain,  on  the  day  thou 
goest  out,  and  walkest  abroad 
any  whither,  that  thou  shalt 
surely  die?  and  thou  saidst  un- 
to me,  The  word  that  I  have 
heard  is  good. 

43  Why  then  hast  thou  not 
kept  the  oath  of  the  Lord,  and 
the  commandment  that  I  have 
charged  thee  with? 

44  The  king  said  moreover  to 
Shlm'e-i,  Thou  knowest  all  the 
wickedness  which  thine  heart 
is  privy  to,  that  thou  didst  to 
David  my  father:  therefore 
the  Lord  shall  return  thy  wick- 
edness upon  thine  own  head ; 

45  And  king  Sdl'o-mon  shall 
be  blessed,  and  the  throne  of 
Da'vid  shall  be  established  be- 
fore the  Lord  for  ever. 

46  So  the  king  commanded 
B&nft'iah  the  son  of  J€-hoi'a-da ; 
which  went  out,  and  fell  upon 
him,  that  he  died.  And  the 
kingdom  was  established  in  the 
hand  of  SdTo-mon. 


CHAPTER  3 

Soiomon  marries  Pharaoh's  dauokter. 
2  High  places  being  in  use,  fie  sac- 
rifices at  Gibeon :  6  He  chooses  wis- 
dom: 16  his  judgment  between  two 
harlots. 

AND  S&To-mon  made  affinity 
with  Pha'raQh  king  of 
E'feypt,  and  took  PhS'raah's 
daughter,  and  brought  her  into 
the  city  of  Da'vid,  until  he  had 
made  an  end  of  building  his 
own  house,  and  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  wall  of  J6- 
ru'sa-lem  round  about 

2  Only  the  people  sacrificed 
in  high  places,  because  there 
was  no  house  built  unto  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  until  those 
days. 

3  And  Sdl'o-mon  loved  the 
Lord,  walking  in  the  statutes 
of  Da'vid  his  father:  only  he 
sacrificed  and  burnt  incense  in 
high  places. 

4  And  the  king  went  to  Gib'- 
e-on  to  sacrifice  there ;  for  that 
was  the  great  high  place: 
thousand  burnt  offerings   did 


SoTo-mon  offer  upon  that  altar. 

5  tin  Gib'e-on  the  Lord  ap- 
peared to  Sdl'o-mon  in  a  dream 
by  night:  and  God  said,  Ask 
what  I  shall  give  thee. 

6  And  Sdl'o-mon  said,  Thou 
hast  shewed  unto  thy  servant 
Da'vid  my  father  great  mercy, 
according  as  he  walked  befdre 
thee  in  truth,  and  in  righteous- 
ness, and  in  uprightness  of 
heart  with  thee ;  and  thou  hast 
kept  for  him  this  great  kind* 
ness,  that  thou  hast  given  him 
a  son  to  sit  on  his  throne,  as  it 
is  this  day. 

7  And  now,  O  Lord  my  God, 
thou  hast  made  thy  servant  king 
instead  of  Da'vid  my  father: 
and  I  am  but  a  little  child:  I 
know  not  how  to  go  out  or 
come  in. 

8  And  thy  servant  is  in  the 
midst  of  thy  people  which  thou 
hast  chosen,  a  great  people, 
that  cannot  be  numbered  nor 
counted  for  multitude. 

9  Give  therefore  thy  servant 
an  understanding  heart  to  judge 
thy  people,  that  I  may  discern 
between  good  and  bad :  for  who 
is  able  to  judge  this  thy  so  great 
a  people? 

10  And  the  speech  pleased  the 
Lord,  that  SoTo-mon  had  asked 
this  thing. 

11  And  God  said  unto  him, 
Because  thou  hast  asked  this 
thing,  and  hast  not  asked  for 
thyself  long  life;  neither  hast 
asked  riches  for  thyself,  nor 
hast  asked  the  life  of  thine 
enemies ;  but  hast  asked  for  thy 
self  understanding  to  discern 
judgment; 

12  Behold,  I  have  done  accord- 
ing to  thy  words:  lo,  I  have 
given  thee  a  wise  and  an  under- 
standing heart;  so  that  there 
was  none  like  thee  before  thee, 
neither  after  thee  shall  any 
arise  like  unto  thee. 

13  And  I  have  also  given  thee 
that  which  thou  hast  not  asked, 
both  riches,  and  honour :  so  that 
there  shall  not  be  any  among 
the  kings  like  unto  thee  all  thy 
days. 

14  And  if  thou  wilt  walk  in 
my  ways,  to  keep  my  statutes 
and  my  commandments,  as  thy 
father  Da'vid  did  walk,  then  ~ 
will  lengthen  thy  days. 

15  And  SoTo-mon  awoke ;  and, 
behold,  it  was  a  dream.  And 
he  came  to  Jg-ru'sS-lem,  and 
stood  before  the  ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord,  and 
offered  up  burnt  offerings,  and 
offered  peace  offerings,  and 
made  a  feast  to  all  his  servants.

16  IT  Then  came  there  two 
women,  that  were  harlots,  unto 
the  king,  and  stood  before  him. 

17  And  the  one  woman  said,  O 
my  lord,  I  and  this  woman  dwell 
in  one  house;  and  I  was  de- 
livered of  a  child  with  her  in 
the  house. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass  the 
third  day  after  that  I  was  de- 
livered, that  this  woman  was 
delivered  also:  and  we  were 
together ;  there  was  no  stranger 
with  us  in  the  house,  save  we 
two  in  the  house. 

19  And  this  woman's  child 
died  in  the  night ;  because  she 
overlaid  it 

20  And  she  arose  at  midnight, 
and  took  my  son  from  beside 
me,  while  thine  handmaid  slept, 
and  laid  it  in  her  bosom,  and 
laid  her  dead  child  in  my  bosom. 

21  And  when  I  rose  in  the 
morning  to  give  my  child  suck, 
behold,  it  was  dead:  but  when 
I  had  considered  it  in  the  morn- 
ing, behold,  it  was  not  my  son, 
which  I  did  bear. 

22  And  the  other  woman  said, 
Nay;  but  the  living  is  my  son, 
and  the  dead  is  thy  son.  And 
this  said,  No;  but  the  dead  is 
thy  son,  and  the  living  is  my 
son.  Thus  they  spake  before 
the  king. 

23  Then  said  the  king.  The 
one  saith,  This  is  my  son  that 
liveth,  and  thy  son  is  the  dead : 
and  the  other  saith,  Nay;  but 
thy  son  is  the  dead,  and  my  son 
is  the  living. 

24  And  the  king  said,  Bring 
me  a  sword.  And  they  brought 
a  sword  before  the  king. 

25  And  the  king  said;  Divide 
the  living  child  in  two,  and  give 
half  to  the  one,  and  half  to  the 
other. 

26  Then  spake  the  woman 
whose  the  living  child  was 
unto  the  king,  for  her  bowels 
yearned  upon  her  son,  and  she 
said,  O  my  lord,  give  her  the 
living  child,  and  in  no  wise  slay 
it  But  the  other  said,  Let  it 
be  neither  mine  nor  thine,  but 
divide  it 

27  Then  the  king  answered 
and  said,  Give  her  the  living 
child,  and  in  no  wise  slay  it: 
she  is  the  mother  thereof. 

28  And  all  Is/ra-el  heard  of  the 
judgment  which  the  king  had 
judged;  and  they  feared  the 
king:  for  they  saw  that  the 
wisdom  of  God  was  in  him,  to 
do  judgment

18  Shim'e-I  the  son  of  ETah, 
in  Bfcn'ja-min : 

19  GTbSr  the  son  of  C'ri  was 
in  the  country  of  GU'e-ftd,  in 
the  country  of  Silidn  king  of 
the  Am'dr-ltes,  and  of  Og  king 
of  Ba'sh&n;  and  he  was  the 
only  officer  which  was  in  the 
land. 

20  H  Ju'dah  and  Is/ra-el  were 
many,  as  the  sand  which  is  by 
the  sea  in  multitude,  eating  and 
drinking,  and  making  merry. 

21  And  SdTo-mon  reigned  over 
all  kingdoms  from  the  river  un- 
to the  kind  of  the  Phf-lls'tineg, 
and  unto  the  border  of  E*gypt : 
they  brought  presents,  and 
served  SdTo-mon  all  the  days 
of  his  life. 

22  f  And  SdTo-mon's  provision 
for  one  day  was  thirty  meas- 
ures of  fine  flour,  and  three- 
score measures  of  meal, 

23  Ten  fat  oxen,  and  twenty 
oxen  out  of  the  pastures,  and 
an  hundred  sheep,  beside  harts, 
and  roebucks,  and  fallowdeer, 
and  fatted  fowl 

24  For  he  had  dominion  over 
all  the  region  on  this  side  the 
river,  from  Tlph'sah  even  to 
Ai'zah,  over  all  the  kings  on 
this  side  the  river:  and  he  had 
peace  on  all  sides  round'  about 
him. 

25  And  Ju'dah  and  ls'ra-el 
dwelt  safely,  every  man  under 
his  vine  and  under  his  fig  tree, 
from  DSn  even  to  BS'er-shS'ba, 
all  the  days  of  SdTo-mon. 

26  ITAnd  S6To-mon  had  forty 
thousand  stalls  of  horses  for  his 
chariots,  and  twelve  thousand 
horsemen. 

27  And  those  officers  provided 
victual  for  king  SdTo-mon,  and 
for  all  that  came  unto  king  SoT- 
o-mon's  table,  every  man  in  his 
month :  they  lacked  nothing. 

28  Barley  also  and  straw  for 
the  horses  and  dromedaries 
brought  they  unto  the  place 
where  the  officers  were,  every 
man  according  to  his  charge. 

29  IfAnd  God  gave  SdTo-mon 
wisdom  and  understanding  ex- 
ceeding much,  and  largeness  of 
heart,  even  as  the  sand  that  is 
on  the  sea  shore. 

30  And  Sdl'o-mon's  wisdom  ex- 
celled the  wisdom  of  all  the 
children  of  the  east  country, 
and  all  the  wisdom  of  E'fcjfpt 

31  For  he  was  wiser  than  all 
men;  than  E'than  the  £z"ra- 
hite,  and  He'man,  and  Ch&Tcdl, 
and  Darfla,  the  sons  of  M&"h81  : 
and  his  fame  was  in  ajl  nations 
round  about 

32  And  he  spake  three  thou- 


sand proverbs:  and  his  songs 
were  a  thousand  and  five. 

33  And  he  spake  of  trees,  from 
the  cedar  tree  that  is  in  L£b'a- 
non  even  unto  the  hyssop  that 
springeth  out  of  the  wall:  he 
spake  also  of  beasts,  and  of 
fowl,  and  of  creeping  things, 
and  of  fishes. 

34  And  there  came  of  all  peo- 
ple to  hear  the  wisdom  of  SdTo- 
mon,  from  all  kings  of  the  earth, 
which  had  heard  of  his  wisdom.

AND  Hi'ram  king  of  Tyre 
sent  his  servants  unto  SdT- 
o-mon; for  he  had  heard  that 
they  had  anointed  him  kingin 
the  room  of  his  father:  for  Hi' 
ram  was  ever  a  lover  of  Dft'vid. 

2  And  SdTo-mon  sent  to  Hi'- 
ram, saying, 

3  Thou  knowest  how  that  Dfi'- 
vid  my  father  could  not  build 
an  house  unto  the  name  of  the 
Lord  his  God  for  the  wars  which 
were  about  him  on  every  side, 
until  the  Lord  put  them  under 
the  soles  of  his  feet 

4  But  now  the  Lord  my  God 
hath  given  me  rest  on  every 
side,  so  that  there  is  neither 
adversary  nor  evil  occurrent 

5  And,  behold,  I  purpose  to 
build  an  house  unto  the  name 
of  the  Lord  my  God,  as  the 
Lord  spake  unto  Dft'vid  my 
father,  saying,  Thy  son,  whom 
I  will  set  upon  thy  throne  in 
thy  room,  ne  shall  build  an 
house  unto  my  name. 

6  Now  therefore  command 
thou  that  they  hew  me  cedar 
trees  out  of  LeVa-non ;  and  my 
servants  shall  be  with  thy  serv- 
ants :  and  unto  thee  will  I  give 
hire  for  thy  servants  according 
to  all  that  thou  shalt  appoint 
for  thou  knowest  that  there  is 
not  among  us  any  that  can  skill 
to  hew  timber  like  unto  the  SI 
do'nl-ans, 

7  IfAnd  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Hi'ram  heard  the  words  of  SdT- 
o-mon, that  he  rejoiced  greatly, 
and  said,  Blessed  be  the  Lord 
this  day,  which  hath  given  unto 
Dft'vid  a  wise  son  over  this  great 
people. 

8  And  Hi'ram  sent  to  Sdl'o- 
mon,  saying,  I  have  considered 
the  things  which  thou  sentest 
to  me  for :  and  I  will  do  all  thy 
desire  concerning  timber  of  ce- 
dar, and  concerning  timber  of 
fir. 

9  My  servants  shall  bring  them 
down  from  L£b'a-non  unto  the 
sea :  and  I  will  convey  them  by

sea  in  floats  unto  the  place  that 
thou  shalt  appoint  me,  and  will 
cause  them  to  be  discharged 
there,  and  thou  shalt  receive 
them:  and  thou  shalt  accom- 
plish my  desire,  in  giving  food 
for  my  household. 

10  So  Hi'ram  gave  SdTo-mon 
cedar  trees  and  nr  trees  accord- 
ing to  all  his  desire. 

11  And  SdTo-mon  gave  Hi'ram 
twenty  thousand  measures  of 
wheat  for  food  to  his  house- 
hold, and  twenty  measures  of 
pure  oil:  thus  gave  SdTo-mon 
to  Hi'ram  year  by  year. 

12  And  the  Lord  gave  SdTo- 
mon  wisdom,  as  he  promised 
him:  and  there  was  peace  be- 
tween Hi'ram  and  SoTo-mon; 
and  they  two  made  a  league 
together. 

13  UAnd  king  SdTo-mon  raised 
a  levy  out  of  all  Ig'ra-el ;  and  the 
levy  was  thirty  thousand  men. 

14  And  he  sent  them  to  Lgb'a- 
non,  ten  thousand  a  month  by 
courses:  a  month  they  were  in 
LeVa-non,  and  two  months  at 
home:  and  Ad-o-ni'ram  was 
over  the  levy. 

15  And  SdTo-mon  had  three- 
score and  ten  thousand  that 
bare  burdens,  and  fourscore 
thousand  hewers  in  the  moun- 
tains; 

16  Beside  the  chief  of  Sdl'o 
mon'8  officers  which  were  over 
the  work,  three  thousand  and 
three  hundred,  which  ruled  over 
the  people  that  wrought  in  the 
work. 

17  And  the  king  commanded, 
and  they  brought  great  stones, 
costly  stones,  and  hewed  stones, 
to  lay  the  foundation  of  the 
house. 

18  And  SdTo-mon's  builders 
and  Hi'ram's  builders  did  hew 
them,  and  the  stonesquarers: 
so  they  prepared  timber  and 
stones  to  build  the  house. 

CHAPTER  6 

The  building  of  Solomon's  temple 
5  the  chambers  thereof:  11  God's 
promise  concerning  it:  15  the  ceil' 
ing  and  adorning  of  it:  23  the 
cherubim*:  37  the  time  taken  to 
build  iL 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
four  hundred  and  eightieth 
year  after  the  children  of  Is/ra- 
el  were  come  out  of  the  land  of 
B'gypt,  in  the  fourth  year  of 
SdTo-mon's  reign  over  Is/ra-el, 
in  the  month  Zif,  which  is  the 
second  month,  that  he  began  to 
build  the  house  of  the  Lord. 
2  And  the  house  which  king 
SdTo-mon  built  for  the  Lord, 
the  length  thereof  was  three- 
score cubits,  and  the  breadth 


thereof  twenty  cubits,  and  the 
height  thereof  thirty  cubits. 

3  And  the  porch  before  the 
temple  of  the  house,  twenty 
cubits  was  the  length  there- 
of, according  to  the  breadth  of 
the  house;  and  ten  cubits  was 
the  breadth  thereof  before  the 
house. 

4  And  for  the  house  he  made 
windows  of  narrow  lights. 

5  And  against  the  wall  of  the 
house  he  Duilt  chambers  round 
about,  against  the  walls  of  the 
house  round  about,  both  of  the 
temple  and  of  the  oracle:  and 
he  made  chambers  round  about : 

6  The  nethermost  chamber 
was  Ave  cubits  broad,  and  the 
middle  was  six  cubits  broad, 
and  the  third  was  seven  cubits 
broad:  for  without  in  the  wall 
of  the  house  he  made  narrowed 
rests  round  about,  that  the 
beams  should  not  be  fastened 
in  the  walls  of  the  house. 

7  And  the  house,  when  it 
was  in  building,  was  built  of 
stone  made  ready  before  it  was 
brought  thither:  so  that  there 
was  neither  hammer  nor  ax  nor 
any  tool  of  iron  heard  in  the 
house,  while  it  was  in  building. 

8  The  door  for  the  middle 
chamber  was  in  the  right  side 
of  the  house:  and  they  went 
up  with  winding  stairs  into  the 
middle  chamber,  and  out  of  the 
middle  into  the  third. 

9  So  he  built  the  house,  and 
finished  it;  and  covered  the 
house  with  beams  and  boards 
of  cedar. 

10  And  then  he  built  chambers 
against  all  the  house,  five  cubits 
high:  and  they  rested  on  the 
house  with  timber  of  cedar. 

11  ITAnd  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  SdTo-mon,  saving, 

12  Concerning  this  house 
which  thou  art  in  building,  if 
thou  wilt  walk  in  my  statutes, 
and  execute  my  judgments,  and 
keep  all  my  commandments  to 
walk  in  them ;  then  will  I  per- 
form my  word  with  thee,  which 
I  spake  unto  DS'vid  thy  father : 

13  And  I  will  dwell  among  the 
children  of  Ig'ra-el,  and  will  not 
forsake  my  people  Xs/ra-el. 

14  So  SOro-mon  built  the 
house,  and  finished  it 

15  And  he  built  the  walls  of 
the  house  within  with  boards  of 
cedar,  both  the  floor  of  the 
house,  and  the  walls  of  the 
deling:  and  he  covered  them 
on  the  inside  with  wood,  and 
covered  the  floor  of  the  house 
with  planks  of  fir. 

16  And  he  built  twenty  cubits

on  the  sides  of  the  house,  both 
the  floor  and  the  walls  with 
boards  of  cedar:  he  even  built 
them  for  it  within,  even  for  the 
oracle,  even  for  the  most  holy 
place. 

17  And  the  house,  that  is,  the 
temple  before  it,  was  forty  cu- 
bits longr. 

18  And  the  cedar  of  the  house 
within  woe  carved  with  knops 
and  open  flowers :  all  was  cedar ; 
there  was  no  stone  seen. 

19  And  the  oracle  he  prepared 
in  the  house  within,  to  set  there 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord. 

20  And  the  oracle  in  the 
forepart  was  twenty  cubits  in 
length,  and  twenty  cubits  in 
breadth,  and  twenty  cubits  in 
the  height  thereof :  and  he  over- 
laid it  with  pure  gold ;  and  so 
covered  the  altar  which  was  of 
cedar. 

21  So  SdTo-mon  overlaid  the 
house  within  with  mire  gold: 
and  he  made  a  partition  by  the 
chains  of  gold  before  the  or- 
acle; and  he  overlaid  it  with 
gold. 

22  And  the  whole  house  he 
overlaid  with  gold,  until  he  had 
finished  all  the  house :  also  the 
whole  altar  that  was  by  the  or- 
acle he  overlaid  with  gold. 

23  HAnd  within  the  oracle  he 
made  two  cherubims  of  olive 
tree,  each  ten  cubits  high. 

24  And  five  cubits  was  the 
one  wing  of  the  cherub,  and 
five  cubits  the  other  wing  of 
the  cherub:  from  the  uttermost 
part  of  the  one  wing  unto  the 
uttermost  part  of  the  other 
were  ten  cubits. 

25  And  the  other  cherub  was 
ten  cubits :  both  the  cherubims 
were  of  one  measure  and  one 
size. 

26  The  height  of  the  one 
cherub  was  ten  cubits,  and  so 
was  it  of  the  other  cherub. 

27  And  he  set  the  cherubims 
within  the  inner  house:  and 
they  stretched  forth  the  wings 
of  the  cherubims,  so  that  the 
wing  of  the  one  touched  the 
one  wall,  and  the  wing  of  the 
other  cherub  touched  the  other 
wall;  and  their  wings  touched 
one  another  in  the  midst  of  the 
house. 

28  And  he  overlaid  the  cheru- 
bims with  gold. 

29  And  he  carved  all  the  walls 
of  the  house  round  about  with 
carved  figures  of  cherubims 
and  palm  trees  and  open  flow- 
ers, within  and  without 

30  And  the  floor  of  the  house 


he  overlaid  with  gold,  within 
and  without 

31  IT  And  for  the  entering  of 
the  oracle  he  made  doors  of 
olive  tree:  the  lintel  and  side 
posts  were  a  fifth  part  of  the 
wall, 

32  The  two  doors  also  were 
of  olive  tree;  and  he  carved 
upon  them  carvings  of  cheru- 
bims and  palm  trees  and  open 
flowers,  and  overlaid  them  with 
gold,  and  spread  gold  upon  the 
cherubims,  and  upon  the  palm 
trees. 

33  So  also  made  he  for  the 
door  of  the  temple  posts  of 
olive  tree,  a  fourth  part  of  the 
wall. 

34  And  the  two  doors  were  of 
firjtree:  the  two  leaves  of  the 
one  door  were  folding,  and  the 
two  leaves  of  the  other  door 
were  folding. 

35  And  he  carved  thereon 
cherubims  and  palm  trees  and 
open  flowers :  and  covered  them 
with  gold  fitted  upon  the  carved 
work. 

36  And  he  built  the  inner 
court  with  three  rows  of  hewed 
stone,  and  a  row  of  cedar  beams. 

37  IT  In  the  fourth  year  was 
the  foundation  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord  laid,  in  the  month  Zif 

38  And  in  the  eleventh  year, 
in  the  month  Bui,  which  is  the 
eighth  month,  was  the  house 
finished  throughout  all  the  parts 
thereof,  and  according  to  all 
the  fashion  of  it  So  was  he 
seven  years  in  building  it

house  of  Lebanon,  8  of the  house  for

BUT  SdTo-mon  was  building 
his  own  house  thirteen 
years,  and  he  finished  all  his 
house. 

2  U  He  built  also  the  house  of 
the  forest  of  LeVa-non;  the 
length  thereof  was  an  hundred 
cubits,  and  the  breadth  thereof 
fifty  cubits,  and  the  height 
thereof  thirty  cubits,  upon  four 
rows  of  cedar  pillars,  with  cedar 
beams  upon  the  pillars. 

3  And  it  was  covered  with 
cedar  above  upon  the  beams, 
that  lay  on  forty  five  pillars, 
fifteen  vn  a  row. 

4  And  there  were  windows 
in  three  rows,  and  light  was

were  square,  with  the  windows :

fifty  cubits,  and  the  breadth 
thereof  thirty  cubits :  and  the 
porch  was  before  them:  and 
the  other  pillars  and  the  thick 
beam  were  before  them. 

7  Then  he  made  a  porch  for 
the  throne  where  he  might 
judge,  even  the  porch  of  judg- 
ment:  and  it  was  covered  with 
cedar  from  one  side  of  the  floor 
to  the  other. 

8  And  his  house  where  he 
dwelt  had  another  court  within 
the  porch,  which  was  of  the 
like  work.  SoTo-mon  made  also 
an  house  for  PhS'radh's  daugh- 
ter, whom  he  had  taken  to  wtfe, 
like  unto  this  porch. 

9  All  these  were  of  costly 
stones,  according  to  the  meas- 
ures of  hewed  stones,  sawed 
with  saws,  within  and  without, 
even  from  the  foundation  unto 
the  coping,  and  so  on  the  out- 
side toward  the  great  court 

10  And  the  foundation  was  of 
costly  stones,  even  great  stones, 
stones  of  ten  cubits,  and  stones 
of  eight  cubits. 

11  And  above  were  costly 
stones,  after  the  measures  of 
hewed  stones,  and  cedars. 

12  And  the  great  court  round 
about  was  with  three  rows  of 
hewed  stones,  and  a  row  of 
cedar  beams,  both  for  the  inner 
court  of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  for  the  porch  of  the  house. 

13  U  And  king  SoTo-mon  sent 
and  fetched  Hi'ram  out  of  Tyre, 

14  He  was  a  widow's  son  of 
the  tribe  of  Naph'ta-li,  and  his 
father  was  a  man  of  Tyre,  a 
worker  in  brass:  and  he  was 
filled  with  wisdom,  and  under- 
standing, and  cunning  to  work 
all  works  in  brass.  And  he 
came  to  king  SSl'o-mon,  and 
wrought  all  his  work. 

15  For  he  cast  two  pillars  of 
brass,  of  eighteen  cubits  high 
apiece:  and  a  line  of  twelve 
cubits  did  compass  either  of 
them  about 

16  And  he  made  two  chapiters 
of  molten  brass,  to  set  upon  the 
tops  of  the  pillars :  the  height 
of  the  one  chapiter  was  five 
cubits,  and  the  height  of  the 
other  chapiter  was  five  cubits : 

17  And  nets  of  checker  work, 
and  wreaths  of  chain  work,  for 
the  chapiters  which  were  up- 
on the  top  of  the  pillars;  seven 
for  the  one  chapiter,  and  seven 
for  the  other  chapiter. 

18  And  he  made  the  pillars, 
and  two  rows  round  about  upon 
the  one  network,  to  cover  the 
chapiters  that  were  upon  the 

352 


top,  with  pomegranates:  and  so 
did  he  for  the  other  chapiter. 

19  And  the  chapiters  that  were 
upon  the  top  of  the  pillars  were 
of  lily  work  in  the  porch,  four 
cubits. 

20  And  the  chapiters  upon 
the  two  pillars  had  pomegran- 
ates also  above,  over  against 
the  belly  which  was  by  the 
network:  and  the  pomegran- 
ates were  two  hundred  in  rows 
round  about  upon  the  other 
chapiter. 

21  And  he  set  up  the  pillars  in 
the  porch  of  the  temple:  and 
he  set  up  the  right  pillar,  and 
called  the  name  thereof  Ja'- 
chin :  and  he  set  up  the  left 
pillar,  and  called  the  name 
thereof  BO'fi*. 

22  And  upon  the  top  of  the 
pillars  was  lily  work :  so  was 
the  work  of  the  pillars  finished. 

23  IT  And  he  made  a  molten 
sea,  ten  cubits  from  the  one 
brim  to  the  other :  it  was  round 
all  about  and  his  height  was  five 
cubits :  and  a  line  of  thirty  cu- 
bits did  compass  it  round  about 

24  And  under  the  brim  of  it 
round  about  there  were  knops 
compassing  it  ten  in  a  cubit 
compassing  the  sea  round  about : 
the  knops  were  cast  in  two  rows, 
when  it  was  cast 

25  It  stood  upon  twelve  oxen, 
three  looking  toward  the  north, 
and  three  looking  toward  the 
west  and  three  looking  toward 
the  south,  and  three  looking 
toward  the  east:  and  the  sea 
was  set  above  upon  them,  and 
all  their  hinder  parts  were  in- 
ward. 

26  And  it  was  an  hand  breadth 
thick,  and  the  brim  thereof  was 
wrought  like  the  brim  of  a  cup, 
with  flowers  of  lilies:  it  con- 
tained two  thousand  baths. 

27  IT  And  he  made  ten  bases 
of  brass ;  four  cubits  was  the 
length  of  one  base,  and  four 
cubits  the  breadth  thereof,  and 
three  cubits  the  height  of  it 

28  And  the  work  of  the  bases 
was  on  this  manner :  they  had 
borders,  and  the  borders  were 
between  the  ledges : 

29  And  on  the  borders  that 
were  between  the  ledges  were 
lions,  oxen,  and  cherubims :  and 
upon  the  ledges  there  was  a 
base  above :  and  beneath  the 
lions  and  oxen  were  certain 
additions  made  of  thin  work. 

30  And  every  base  had  four 
brasen  wheels,  and  plates  of 
brass:  and  the  four  corners 
thereof  had  undersetters :  un- 
der the  laver  were  underset-

ten  molten,  at  the  side  of  every 
addition. 

31  And  the  mouth  of  it  within 
the  chapiter  and  above  was  a 
cubit :  but  the  mouth  thereof 
was  round  after  the  work  of 
the  base,  a  cubit  and  ah  half : 
and  also  upon  the  mouth  of  it 
were  graving*- with  their  bor- 
ders, foursquare,  not  round, 

32  And  under  the  borders  were 
four  wheels  ;*  and  the  axletrees 
of  the  wheels  were  joined  to 
the  base:  and  the  height  of  a 
wheel  was  a  cubit  and  half  a 
cubit 

33  And  the  work  of  the  wheels 
was  like  the  work  of  a  chariot 
wheel :  their  axletrees,  and  their 
naves,  and  their  felloes, '  and 
their  spokes,  were  all  molten. 

34  And  there  were  four  un- 
dersetters  to  the  four  corners 
of  one  base:  and  the  under- 
setters  were  of  the'  very  base 
itself. 

35  And  in  the  top  of  the  base 
was  there  a  round  compass  of 
half  a  cubit  high?  and  on  the 
top  of  the  base  the  ledges  there- 
of and  the  borders  thereof  were 
of  the  same. 

36  For  on  the  plates  of  the 
ledges  thereof,  and  on  the  bor- 
ders thereof,  he  grayed  cher- 
ubims,  lions,  and  palm  trees,  ac- 
cording to  the  proportion  of 
every  one,  and 'additions  round 
about 

37  After  fhismanner  he  made 
the  ten  bases:  all  of  them  had 
one  casting,  one  measure,  %and 
oriesne, 

36  Then  made  he  ten  ldvers  of 
brass :  one  layer  contained  for- 
ty baths  i  and  every  laver  was 
four  cubits:  and  upon  every 
one  of  the  ten  bases  one  laver. 
'3^  And  he  put  Ave  bases  oh 
the  right  side  of  the  house, 
and  five  on  the  left  side  of  the 
house :  and  he  set  the  sea  on 
the  tight  side  of  the  house  east- 
ward over  against  the  south. 

40  ITAnd  Ht'ram  made  the  lav- 
en,  and  the  shovels,  and  the  ba- 
sons. So  ffi'ram  made  an  end  of 
doing  all  the  work  that  he  made 
kin*  SdTo-rnon  for  the  house 
of  the  Lord:'  • 

41  The  two  pillars,  and  the 
two  bowls  of  the1  chapiters  that 
were  on  the  top  of  Hie  two  pil- 
lars; arid  the  two  networks,  to 
cover  the  two  bowls  of  the 
chapiters  which  were  upon  tile 
top  6f  the  pillars; 

42  And  four  hundred  pome- 
granates for  the  two  networks, 
even  two  rows  of  pomegranates 
for  one  network,  to  Cover  the 

353 


two  bowls  of  the  chapiters  that 
were  upon  the  pillars ; 

43  And  the  ten  bases,  and  ten 
lavers  on  the  bases; 

44  And  one  sea,  and  twelve 
oxen  under  the  sea ; 

45  And  the  pots,  and  the 
shovels,  and  the  basons :  and  all 
these  vessels,  which  Hi'ram 
made  to  king  SdTo-mon  for  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  were  of 
bright  brass. 

46  In  the  plain  Of  Jordan  did 
the  king  cast  them;  in  the  clay 
ground  between  Suc'coth  and 
Zar'than. 

47  And  SdTomon  left  all  the 
vessels  wnweighed,  because 
they  were  exceeding  manv: 
neither -was  the  weight  of  the 
brass  found  out  ' 

48  And  SdTo-mon  made  all  the 
vessels  that  pertained  unto  the 
house  of  the  LORD :  the  altar  of 
gold,  and  the  table  of  gold, 
whereupon  the  shewbread  was, 

4$  And  the  candlesticks  of 
pure  gold,  five  on  the  right 
aide,  and  five  on  the  left,  be- 
fore the  oracle,  with  the  flow* 
era,  and  the  lamps,  and  the 


tongs  o/gpld, 

50  And  the  bowls,  and  the 
snuffers,  and  the  basons,  and 
the  spoons,  and  the  censers  of 
pure  gold  J  arid  the  hinges  of 
gold,  both  for  the  doors  of  the 
inner  house,  the  most  holy 
place,  and  for  the  doors  of  the 
house,  to  wit,  of  the  temple. 

51  So  was  ended  all  the  work 
that  king  SoTo-mon  made  for 
the  ljouse  of  the  Lord.  And 
SoTo-mon  brought  in  the  things 
which  DTvW  his  father  had 
dedicated ;  even  the  silver,  and 
the  gold,  and  the  vessels,  did  he 

Eut  among  the  treasures  of  the 
buse  of  the  Lord.

4  And  they  brought  up  the 
ark  of  the  Lord,  and  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation,  and 
all  the  holy  vessels  that  were 
in  the  tabernacle,  even  those 
did  the  priests  and  the  LS'vites 
bring  up. 

5  And  king  Solomon,  and  all 
the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el,  that 
were  assembled  unto  him,  were 
with  him  before  the  ark,  sac- 
rificing sheep  and  oxen,  that 
could  not  be  told  nor  numbered 
for  multitude.    . 

6  And  the  priests  brought  in 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord  unto  his  place,  into  the 
oracle  of  the  house,  to  the  most 
holy  place,  even  under  the 
wings  of  the  cherubims. 

7  For  the  cherubims  spread 
forth  their  two  wings  over  the 
place  of  the  ark,  and  the  cher- 
ubims covered  the  ark  and  the 
staves  thereof  above. 

8  And  they  drew  out  the 
staves,  that  the  ends  of  the 
staves  were  seen  out  in  the 
holy  place  before  the  oracle, 
and  they  were  not  seen  with- 
out: and  there  they  are  unto 
this  day. 

9  There  woe  nothing  in  the 
ark  save  the  two  tables  of  stone, 
which  MS'seg  put  there  at  Ho'- 
reb,  when  the  Lord  made  a 
covenant  with  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el,  when  they  came  out  of 
the  land  of  £*g?pt. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  priests  were  come  out  of 
the  holy  place,  that  the  cloud 
filled  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

11  So  that  the  priests  'could 
not  stand  to  minister  because 
of  the  cloud:  for  the  glory  of 
the  Lord  had  filled  the  house 
of  the  Lord. 

12  If  Then  spake  SftTo-mon, 
The  Lord  said  that  he  would 
dwell  in  the  thick  darkness. 

13  I  have  surely  built  thee 
an  house  to  dwell  in,  a  settled 
place  for  thee  to  abide  in  for 
ever. 

14  And  the  king  turned  his 
face  about,  and  blessed  all  the 
congregation  of  !s'ra-el:  (and 
all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el 
stood;) 

15  And  he  said,  Blessed  be 
the  Lord  God  of  Ifi'ra-el,  which 
spake  with  his  mouth  unto  Dfi'- 
vid  my  father,  and  hath  with 
his  hand  fulfilled  it,  saying, 

16  Since  the  day  that 
brought  forth  my  people  Is'- 
ra-el out  of  ftftrpt,  I  chose  no 
city  out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'- 
ra-el to  build  an  house,  that  my 
name  might  be  therein;  but  I 


chose  DS'vid  to  be  over  my  peo- 
ple Is'ra-el 

17  And  it  was  in  the  heart  of 
Da'vid  my  father  to  build  an 
house  for  the  name  of  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-eL 

18  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Da'vid  my  father,  Whereas  it 
was  in  thine  heart  to  build  an 
house  unto  my  name,  thou  didst 
well  that  it  was  in  thine  heart. 

19  Nevertheless  thou  shalt  not 
build  the  house;  but  thy  son 
that  shall  come  forth  out  of  thy 
loins,  he  shall  build  the  house 
unto  my  name. 

20  And  the  Lord  hath  per- 
formed his  word  that  he  spake, 
and  I  am  risen  up  in  the  room 
of  Da'vid  my  father,  and  sit  on 
the  throne  of  Is'ra-el,  as  the 
Lord  promised,  and  have  built 
an  house  for  the  name  of  the 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-eL 

21  And  I  have  set  there  a 
place  for  the  ark,  wherein  is 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  which 
he  made  with  our  fathers,  when 
he  brought  them  out  of  the  land 
of£-&ypt 

22  it  And  S6To»mon  stood  be* 
fore  the  altar  of  the  Lord  in 
the  presence  of  all  the  congrega- 
tion of  Is'ra-el,  and  spread  forth 
his  hands  toward  heaven : 

23  And  he  said,  Lord  God  of 
Is/ra-el,  there  i$  no  God  like 
thee,  in  heaven  above,  or  on 
earth  beneath,  who  keenest 
covenant  and  merer  with  thy 
servants  that  walk  before  thee 
with  all  their  heart : 

24  Who  hast  kept  with  thy 
servant  Da'vid  my  father  that 
thou  promisedst  him:  thou 
spakest  also  with  thy  mouth, 
and  hast  fulfilled  it  with  thine 
hand,  as  it  is  this  day. 

25  Therefore  now,  Lord  God 
of  Is'ra-el,  keep  with  thy  serv- 
ant Da'vid  my  father  that  thou 
promisedst  him,  saying,  There 
shall  not  fail  thee  a  man  in  my 
sight  to  sit  on  the  throne  of  Is  - 
ra-el ;  so  that  thy  children  take 
heed  to  their  way,  that  they 
walk  before  me  as  thou  hast 
walked  before  me. 

26  And  now,  O  God  of  Is'ra-el 
let  thy  word,  I  pray  thee,  be 
verified,  which  thou  spakest  un- 
to thy  servant  Da'vid  my  father. 

27  But  will  God  indeed  dwell 
on  the  earth  ?  behold,  the  heav- 
en and  heaven  of  heavens  can- 
not contain  thee;  how  much 
less  this  house  that  I  have 
builded? 

28  Yet  have  thou  respect  unto 
the  prayer  of  thy  servant,  and 
to  his  supplication,  O  Lord  my

39  Then  hear  thou  in  heaven 
thy  dwelling  place,  and  forgive, 
and  do,  and  give  to  every  man 


of  which  thou  hast  said,  My  according  to  his  ways,  whose 


name  shall  be  there:  that  thou 
mavest  hearken  unto  the  prayer 
which  thy  servant  shall  make 
toward  this  place. 

30  And  hearken  thou  to  the 
supplication  of  thy  servant,  and 
of  tny  people  Is/ra-el,  when  they 
shall  pray  toward  this  place :  and 
hear  thou  in  heaven  thy  dwell- 
ing place:  and  when  thou  near- 
est, forgive. 

31  H  If  any  man  trespass 
against  his  neighbour,  and  an 
oath  be  laid  upon  him  to  cause 
him  to  swear,  and  the  oath 
come  before  thine  altar  in  this 
house: 

32  Then  hear  thou  in  heav- 
en, and  do,  and  judge  thy  serv- 
ants, condemning  the  wicked,  to 
bring  his  way  upon  his  head; 
and  justifying  the  righteous,  to 
give  him  according  to  his  right- 
eousness. 

33  IT  When  thy  people  Is'ra-el 
be  smitten  down  before  the  ene- 
my, because  they  have  sinned 
against  thee,  and  shall  turn 
again  to  thee,  and  confess  thy 
name,  and  pray,  and  make  sup- 

Elication   unto    thee    in    this 
ouse: 

34  Then  hear  thou  in  heav- 
en, and  forgive  the  sin  of  thy 
people  Is/ra-el,  and  bring  them 
again  unto  the  land  which  thou 
gavest  unto  their  fathers. 

35  IT  When  heaven  is  shut  up, 
and  there  is  no  rain,  because 
they  have  sinned  against  thee ; 
if  they  pray  toward  this  place, 
and  confess  thy  name,  ana  turn 
from  their  sin,  when  thou  af- 
flictest  them : 

36  Then  hear  thou  jn  heaven, 
and  forgive  the  sin  of  thy  serv- 
ants, and  of  thy  people  Is'ra-el, 
that  thou  teach  them  the  good 
way  wherein  they  should  walk, 
and  give  rain  upon  thy  land, 
which  thou  hast  given  to  thy 
people  for  an  inheritance. 

37  If  If  there  be  in  the  land 
famine,  if  there  be  pestilence, 
blasting,  mildew,  locust,  or  if 
there  be  caterpiller;  if  their 
enemy  besiege  them  in  the 
land  of  their  cities ;  whatsoever 
plague,  whatsoever  sickness 
there  be; 

38  What  prayer  and  supplica- 
tion soever  be  made  by  any 
man,  or  by  all  thy  people  Xg'- 


heart  thou  knowest ;  (for  thou, 
even  thou  only,  knowest  the 
hearts  of  all  the  children  of 
men;) 

40  That  they  may  fear  thee 
all  the  days  that  they  live  in 
the  land  which  thou  gavest  un 
to  our  fathers, 

41  U  Moreover  concerning  a 
stranger,  that  is  not  of  thy 
people  Ig'ra-el,  but  cometh  out 
of  a  far  country  for  thy  name's 
sake; 

42  (For  they  shall  hear  of  thy 
great  name,  and  of  thy  strong 
hand,  and  of  thy  stretched  out 
arm ;)  when  he  shall  come  and 
pray  toward  this  house ; 

43  Hear  thou  in  heaven  thy 
dwelling  place,  and  do  accord- 
ing to  all  that  the  stranger 
caileth  to  thee  for:  that  all 
people  of  the  earth  may  know 
thy  name,  to  fear  thee,  as  do 
thy  people  Ig'ra-el;  and  that 
they  may  know  that  this  house, 
which  I  have  builded,  is  called 
by  thy  name. 

44  if  If  thy  people  go  out 
to  battle  against  their  enemy, 
whithersoever  thou  shalt  send 
them,  and  shall  pray  unto  the 
Lord  toward  the  city  which 
thou  hast  chosen,  and  toward 
the  house  that  I  have  built  for 
thy  name 

45  Then  hear  thou  in  heaven 
their  prayer  and  their  supplica- 
tion, and  maintain  their  cause. 

46  If  they  sin  against  thee, 
(for  there  %8  no  man  that  sin 
neth  not,)  and  thou  be  angry 
with  them,  and  deliver  them  to 
the  enemy,  so  that  they  carry 
them  away  captives  unto  the 
land  of  the  enemy,  far  or  near ; 

47  Yet  if  they  shall  bethink 
themselves  in  the  land  whither 
they  were  carried  captives,  and 
repent,  and  make  supplication 
unto  thee  in  the  land  of  them 
that  carried  them  captives,  say- 
ing, We  have  sinned,  and  have 
done  perversely,  we  have  com- 
mitted wickedness; 

48  And  so  return  unto  thee 
with  all  their  heart,  and  with  all 
their  soul,  in  the  land  of  their 
enemies,  which  led  them  away 
captive,  and  pray  unto  thee  to- 
ward their  land,  which  thou 
gavest  unto  their  fathers,  the 
city  which  thou  hast  chosen,

and  the  house  which  I  have 
built  for  thy  name: 

49  Then     hear     thou     their 

aer  and  their  supplication 
eaven  thy  dwelling  place, 
and  maintain  their  cause, 

50  And  forgive  thy  people  that 
have  sinned:  against  thee,  and 
all  their  transgressions  wherein 
they  have  transgressed  against 
thee,  and  give  them  compassion 
before  them  who  carried  them 
captive,  that  they  may  have 
compassion  on  them: 

51  For  they  be  thy  people,  and 
thine  inheritance,  which  thou 
broughtest  forth  out  of  fi'&jfpt, 
from  the  midst  of  the  furnace 
of  iron : 

52  That  thine  eyes  may  be 
open  unto  the  supplication  of 
thy  servant,  and  unto  the  sup- 
plication of  thy  people  Is/ra-el, 
to  hearken  unto  them  in  all 
that  they  call  for  unto  thee. 

53  For  thou  didst  separate 
them  from  among  all  the  peo- 
ple of  the  earth,  to  be  thine  in- 
heritance, as  thou  spakest  by 
the  hand  of  Md'seg  thy  servant, 
when  thou  broughtest  our  fa* 
thers  out  of  E'gjfpt,  O  Lord 
God. 

54  If  And  it  was  so,  that  when 
SdTo-mon  had  made  an  end  of 
praying  all  this  prayer  and  sup- 
plication unto  the  Lord,  he 
arose  from  before  the  altar  "of 
the  Lord,  from  kneeling  on  his 
knees  with  his  hands  spread  up 
to  heaven. 

55  And  he  stood,  and  blessed 
all  the  congregation  of  ls/ra-el 
with  a  loud  voice,  saying; 

56  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  that 
hath  given  rest  unto  his  people 
Is/ra-el,  according  to  all  that  ne 
promised :  there  nath  not  failed 
one  word  of  all  his  good  promise, 
which  he  promised  by  the  hand 
of  Md'seg  nis  servant 

57  The  Lord  our  God  be  with 
us,  as  he  was  with  our  fathers : 
let  him  not  leave  us,  nor  for- 
sake us : 

58  That  he  may  incline  our 
hearts  unto  him,  to  walk  in  all 
his  ways,  and  to  keep  his  com- 
mandments, and  his  statutes, 
and  his  judgments,  which  he 
commanded  our  fathers. 

59  And  let  these  my  words, 
wherewith  t  have  made  sup- 
plication before  the  Lord,  be 
nigh  unto  the  Lord  out  God 
day  and  night,  that  he  maintain 
the  cause  of  his  servant,  and  the 
cause  of  his  people  Ifc'ra-el  at  all 
times,  as  the  matter  shall  re- 
quire : 

60  That  all  the  people  of  the 


earth  may  know  that  the  Lord 
is  God,  and  that  there  is  none 
else. 

61  Let  your  heart  therefore  be 
perfect  with  the  Lord  our  God, 
to  walk  in  his  statutes,  and  to 
keep  his  commandments,  as  at 
this  day. 

62  If  And  the  king,  and  all  Ig'- 
ra-el  with  him,  offered  sacrifice 
before  the  Lord. 

63  And  SoTo-mon  offered  a  sac- 
rifice of  peace  offerings,  which 
he  offered  unto  the  Lord,  two 
and  twenty  thousand  oxen,  and 
an  hundred  and  twenty  thou- 
sand sheep.  So  the  king  and 
all  the  children  of  Is/ra-el  dedi- 
cated the  house  of  the  Lord. 

64  The  same  day  did  the  king 
hallow  the  middle  of  the  court 
that  was  before  the  house  of 
the  Lord  :  i or  there  he  offered 
burnt  offerings,  and  meat  offer- 
ings, and  the  fat  of  the  peace 
offerings:  because  the  brasen 
altar  that  was  before  the  Lord 
was  too  little  to  receive  the 
burnt  offerings,  and  meat  offer- 
ings, and  the  fat  of  the  peace 
offerings. 

65  H  And  at  that  time  S6To- 
mon  held  a  feast,  and  all  Xs/ra-el 
with  him,  a  great  congregation, 
from  the  entering  in  of  Hfmath 
unto  the  river  of  fi'gjrpt,  before 
the  Lord  our  God,  seven  days 
and  seven  days,  even  fourteen 
days. 

66  On  the  eighth  day  he  sent 
the  people  away:  and  they 
blessed  the  king,  and  went  un- 
to their  tents  joyful  and  glad  of 
heart  for  all  the  goodness  that 
the  Lord  had  done  for  DS'vid 
his  servant,  and  for  Is/ra-el  his 
people.

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
SdTo-mon  had  finished  the 
building  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  kind's  house,  and 
all  SoTo-mon's  desire  which  he 
was  pleased  to  do, 

2  That  the  Lord  appeared  to 
SdTo-mon  the  second  time,  as 
he  had  appeared  unto  him  at 
Glb'e-on. 

3  And  the  LORD  said  unto 
him,  I  have  heard  thy  prayer 
and  thy  supplication,  that  thou 
hast  made  before  me:  I  have 
hallowed  this  house,  which  thou

me,  as  Dfi'vid  thy  father  walked, 
in  integrity  of  heart,  and  in  up- 
rightness, to  do  according  to  all 
that  I  have  commanded  thee, 
and  wilt  keep  my  statutes  and 
my  judgments : 

5  Then  I  will  establish  the 
throne  of  thy  kingdom  upon 
Ift'ra-el  'for  ever,  as  I  promised 
to  Dfi'vid  thy  father,  saying. 
There  shall  not  fail  thee  a  man 
upon  the  throne  of  Ig'ra-el. 

6  But  if  ye  shall  at  all  turn 
from  following  me,  ye  or  your 
children,  and  will  not  keep  my 
commandments  and  my  stat- 
utes which  I  have  set  before 
you,  but  go  and  serve  other 
gods,  and  worship  them: 

7  Then  will  I  cut  off  !|'ra-el 
out  of  the  land  which  I  have 
given  them;  and  this  house, 
which  I  have  hallowed  for  my 
name,  will  I  cast  out  of  my 
sight;  and  Is/ra-el  shall  be  a 
proverb  and  a  byword  among 
all  people : 

8  And  at  this  house,  which  is 
high,  every  one  that  passeth  by 
it  shall  be  astonished,  and  shall 
hiss;  and  they  shall  say,  Why 
hath  the  Lord  done  thus  unto 
this  land,  and  to  this  house? 

9  And  they  shall  answer,  Be- 
cause they  forsook  the  Lord 
their  God,  who  brought  forth 
their  fathers  out  of  the  land  of 
B'gypt,  and  have  taken  hold  up- 
on other  gods,  and  have  wor- 
shipped them,  and  served  them : 
therefore  hath  the  Lord  brought 
upon  them  all  this  evil. 

10  ITAnd  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  twenty  years,  when  SoTo- 
mon  had  built  the  two  houses, 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
king's  house, 

11  {Now  Hi'ram  the  king  of 
T^re  had  furnished  SdTo-mon 
with  cedar  trees  and  fir  trees, 
and  with  gold,  according  to  all 
his  desire, )  that  then  king  SdTo- 
mon  gave  Hi'ram  twenty  cities 
in  the  land  of  Gall-lee. 

12  And  Hi'ram  came  out  from 
Tfre  to  see  the  cities  which 
SoTo-mon  had  given  him;  and 
they  pleased  him  not 

13  And  he  said,  What  cities  are 
these  which  thou  hast  given  me, 
my  brother  ?  And  he  called  them 
the  land  of  Cfi1>&l  unto  this  day. 

14  And  Hi'ram  sent  to  the 
king  sixscore  talents  of  gold. 

15  IF  And  this  is  the  reason  of 
the  levy  which  king  S6To-mon 
raised ;  for  to  build  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  his  own  house, 
and  Mil1<5,  and  the  wall  of  Je- 

fsfi-lem,  and  Hfi'zflr,  and  M£ 
d'dO,  and  GTzeT. 


16  For  Pha'raSh  king  of  £-fr?pt 
had  gone  up,  and  taken  Gezer, 
and  burnt  it  with  fire,  and  slain 
the  Cfi'naan-ites  that  dwelt  in 
the  city,  and  given  it  for  a 
present  unto  his  daughter,  S&T- 
o-mon's  wife. 

17  And  SoTo-mon  built  GTx&, 
and  B£th-h5'rdn  the  nether, 

18  AndBfi'al-fith,andTfid'mtor 
in  the  wilderness,  in  the  land, 

19  And  all  the  cities  of  store 
that  SoTo-mon  had,  and  cities 
for  his  chariots,  and  cities  for 
his  horsemen,  and  that  which 
SdTo-mon  desired  to  build  in 
JS-rfe'sfi-lSm,  and  in  LeVa-non, 
and  in  all  the  land  of  his  do* 
minion. 

20  And  all  the  people  that 
were  left  of  the  Am'Qr-ites, 
Hitf tites,  PeVfc*ites,  Hl'vites, 
and  JeVu-sites,  which  were  not 
of  the  children  of  Is/ra-el, 

21  Their  children  that  were 
left  after  them  in  the  land, 
whom  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
also  were  not  able  utterly  to 
destroy,  upon  those  did  SoTo- 
mon  levy  a  tribute  of  bond- 
service unto  this  day. 

22  But  of  the  children  of  Is> 
ra-el  did  SoTo-mon  make  no 
bondmen:  but  they  were  men 
of  war,  and  his  servants,  and 
his  princes,  and  his  captains, 
and  rulers  of  his  chariots,  and 
his  horsemen. 

23  These  were  the  chief  of 
the  officers  that  were  over  S6T. 
o-mon's  work,  five  hundred  and 
fifty,  which  bare  rule  over  the 
peonle  that  wrought  in  the 
work. 

24  IT  But  Phfi'ra5h's  daughter 
came  up  out  of  the  city  of  Dfi'- 
vid unto  her  house  which  Sol'o- 
mon  had  built  for  her:  then 
did  he  build  MI115. 

25  IT  And  three  times  in  a 
year,  did  S6To-mon  offer  burnt 
offerings  and  peace  offerings 
upon  the  altar  which  he  built 
unto  the  Lord,  and  he  burnt 
incense  upon  the  altar  that 
was  before  the  Lord.  So  he 
finished  the  house. 

26  IT  And  king  S6To-mon  made 
a  navy  of  ships  in  Czi-on-gg'- 
b&,  which  is  beside  E18th,  on 
the  shore  of  the  Red  sea,  in  the 
land  of  E'dom. 

27  And  Hi'ram  sent  in  the 
navy  his  servants,  shipmen  that 
had  knowledge  of  the  sea,  with 
the  servants  of  SoTo-mon. 

28  And  they  came  to  O'phir, 
and  fetched  from  thence  gold, 
four  hundred  and  twenty  tal- 
ents, and  brought  it  to  king 
SdTo-mon.

CHAPTER  10 

The  queen  of  Sheba  admires  the  wis- 
dom of  Solomon  14  hie  riches  :  24 
his  presents:  26  his  chariots  and 
horses:  28  his  tribute, 

AND  when  the  queen  of  Shef- 
ba  heard  of  the  fame  of 
SoTo-mon  concerning  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  she  came  to  prove 
him  with  hard  questions. 

2  And  9he  came  to  Je-r}i'sS-15m 
with  a  very  great  train,  with 
camels  that  bare  spices,  and 
very  much  gold,  and  precious 
stones ;  and  when  she  was  come 
to  SdTo-mon,  she  communed 
with  him  of  all  that  was  in  her 
heart 

3  And  SdTo-mon  told  her  all 
her  questions:  there  was  not 
any  thing  hid  from  the  king, 
which  he  told  her  not 

4  And  when  the  queen  of  ShS*- 
ba  had  seen  all  SoTo-mon's  wis- 
dom, and  the  house  that  he  had 
built 

5  And  the  meat  of  his  table, 
and  the  sitting  of  his  servants, 
and  the  attendance  of  his  minis- 
ters, and  their  apparel,  and  his 
cupbearers,  and  his  ascent  by 
which  he  went  up  unto  the 
house  of  the  Lord  ;  there  was 
no  more  spirit  in  her. 

6  And  she  said  to  the  king,  It 
was  a  true  report  that  I  heard 
in  mine  own  land  of  thy  acts 
and  of  thy  wisdom. 

7  Howbeit  I  believed  not  the 
words,  until  I  came,  and  mine 
eves  had  seen  it :  and,  behold, 
the  half  was  not  told  me :  thy 
wisdom  and  prosperity  exceed- 
eth  the  fame  which  I  heard. 

8  Happy  are  thy  men,  happy 
are  these  thy  servants,  which 
stand  continually  before  thee, 
and  that  hear  thy  wisdom. 

9  Blessed  be  the  Lord  thy 
God,  which  delighted  in  thee, 
to  set  thee  on  the  throne  of 
Ig'ra-el :  because  the  Lord  loved 
Is/ra-el  for  ever,  therefore  made 
he  thee  king,  to  do  judgment 
and  justice. 

10  And  she  gave  the  king  an 
hundred  and  twenty  talents  of 
gold,  and  of  spices  very  great 
store,  and  precious  stones :  there 
came  no  more  such  abundance 
of  spices  as  these  which  the 
queen  of  She'ba  gave  to  king 
SoTo-mon. 

11  And  the  navy  also  of  HT- 
ram,  that  brought  gold  from 
O'phir,  brought  in  from  O'phir 
great  plenty  of  almug  trees,  and 
precious  stones. 

12  And  the  king  made  of  the 
almug  trees  pillars  for  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  for  the  king's 
house,  harps  also  and  psaltenes 


for  singers :  there  came  no  such 
almug  trees,  nor  were  seen  un- 
to this  day. 

13  And  king  SdTo-mon  gave 
unto  the  queen  of  She'ba  allher 
desire,  whatsoever  she  asked,  be- 
side that  which  SoTo-mon  gave 
her  of  his  royal  bounty.  So 
she  turned  and  went  to  her  own 
country,  she  and  her  servants. 

14  IF  Now  the  weight  of  gold 
that  came  to  SdTo-mon  in  one 
year  was  six  hundred  threescore 
and  six  talents  of  gold, 

15  Beside  that  he  had  of  the 
merchantmen,  and  of  the  traf- 
fick  of  the  spice  merchants,  and 
of  all  the  kings  of  A-ra'bi-a,  and 
of  the  governors  of  the  country. 

16  ITAnd  king  SoTo-mon  made 
two  hundred  targets  of  beaten 
gold:  six  hundred  shekels  of 
gold  went  to  one  target 

17  And  he  made  three  hun- 
dred shields  of  beaten  gold; 
three  pound  of  gold  went  to 
one  shield:  and  the  king  put 
them  in  the  house  of  the  forest 
of  Lgb'a-non. 

18  1T  Moreover  the  king  made 
a  great  throne  of  ivory,  and 
overlaid  it  with  the  best  gold. 

19  The  throne  had  six  steps, 
and  the  top  of  the  throne  was 
round  behind :  and  there  were 
stays  on  either  side  on  the  place 

Sf  the  seat  snd  two  lions  stood 
eside  the  stays. 

20  And  twelve  lions  stood 
there  on  the  one  side  and  on 
the  other  upon  the  six  steps: 
there  was  not  the  like  made  in 
any  kingdom. 

21  And  all  king  SdTo-mon's 
drinking  vessels  were  of  gold, 
and  all  the  vessels  of  the  house 
of  the  forest  of  LeVa-non  were 
of  pure  gold;  none  were  of 
silver :  it  was  nothing  account- 
ed of  in  the  days  of  SoTo-mon. 

22  For  the  king  had  at  sea  a 
navy  of  ThaYshish  with  the 
navy  of  Hi'ram :  once  in  three 
years  came  the  navy  of  ThaV- 
shish,  bringing  gold,  and  silver, 
ivory,  and  apes,  and  peacocks. 

23  So  king  SoTo-mon  exceed- 
ed all  the  Kings  of  the  earth 
for  riches  and  for  wisdom. 

24  tAnd  all  the  earth  sought 
to  SoTo-mon,  to  hear  his  wis- 
dom, which  God  had  put  in  his 
heart 

25  And  they  brought  every 
man  his  present  vessels  of  sil- 
ver, and  vessels  of  gold,  and  gar- 
ments, and  armour,  and  spices, 
horses,  and  mules,  a  rate  year 
by  year. 

26  IF  And  SoTo-mon  gathered 
together   chariots   and   horse-

and  four  hundred  chariots, 
and  twelve  thousand  horsemen, 
whom  he  bestowed  in  the  cities 
for  chariots,  and  with  the  king 
at  JeVru'sft-le'm. 

27  And  the  king  made  silver 
to  be  in  J5-ru'sft-15m  as  stones, 
and  cedars  made  he  to  be  as  the 
sycomore  trees  that  are  in  the 
vale,  for  abundance. 

28  f  And  SdTo-mon  had  horses 
brought  out  of  E'gjfat,  and  linen 
yarn :  the  king's  merchants  re- 
ceived the  linen  yarn  at  a  price. 

29  And  a  chariot  came  up  and 
went  out  of  Cfefpt  for  six  hun- 
dred shekels  of  silver,  and  an 
horse  for  an  hundred  and  fifty : 
and  so  for  all  the  kings  of  the 
Hit'tites,  and  for  the  kings  of 
Syrl4,  did  they  bring  them  out 
by  their  means. 

CHAPTER  11 

Solomon's  wives  and  concubines  in 
his  old  age  draw  him  to  idolatry: 
9  God  threaten*  Mm.  14  Solomon's 
adversaries.  41  Rehoboam  succeeds 
him. 

BUT  king  S6To-mon  loved 
many  strange  women,  to- 
gether with  the  daughter  of 
Phfi'raOh,  women  of  the  M6'ab- 
ites,  Am'mon-ites,  E'dom-ites, 
2l-d5'nl-anj,  and  Hit'tites; 

2  Of  the  nations  concerning 
which  the  Lord  said  unto  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el,  Te  shall  not 
go  in  to  them,  neither  shall  they 
come  In  unto  you:  for  surely 
they  will  turn  away  your  heart 
after  their  gods:  S6To-mon 
clave  unto  these  in  love. 

3  And  he  had  seven  hundred 
wives,  princesses,  and  three 
hundred*  concubines:  and  his 
wives  turned  away  his  heart 

4  For  it  came  to  pass,  when 
SdTo-mon  was  old,  that  his 
wives  turned  away  his  heart 
after  other  gods :  and  his  heart 
was  not  perfect  with  the  Lord 
his  God,  as  was  the  heart  of 
Dft'vid  his  father. 

5  For  SoTo-mon  went  after 
Ash'to-r£th  the  goddess  of  the 
Zi-d&'nf-ans,  and  after  Mfl'com 
the  abomination  of  the  Am'- 
mon-ites. 

6  And  SoTo-mon  did  evil  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  went 
not  fully  after  the  Lord,  as  did 
DaVid  his  father. 

7  Then  did  SoTo-mon  build  an 
high  place  for  Che'mosh,  the 
abomination  of  M5'ab,  in  the 
hill  that  is  before  Je*-ru'sft-l£m, 
and  for  M5lech,  the  abomina- 
tion of  the  children  of  Am'mSn. 

8  And  likewise  did  he  for  all 
his  strange  wives,  which  burnt 

359 


incense    and    sacrificed    unto 
their  gods. 

9  ITAnd  the  Lord  was  angry 
with  SoTo-mon,  because  nis 
heart  was  turned  from  the 
Lord  God  of  Is/ra-el,  which 
had  appeared  unto  him  twice, 

10  And  had  commanded  him 
concerning  this  thing,  that  he 
should  not  go  after  other  gods: 
but  he  kept  not  that  which  the 
Lord  commanded. 

11  Wherefore  the  Lord  said 
unto  SoTo-mon,  Forasmuch  as 
this  is  done  of  thee,  and  thou 
hast  not  kept  mv  covenant  and 
my  statutes,  which  I  have  com- 
manded thee,  I  will  surely  rend 
the  kingdom  from  thee,  and 
will  give  it  to  thy  servant 

12  Notwithstanding  in  thy 
days  I  will  not  do  it  for  DS'vid 
thy  father's  sake:  but  I  will 
rend  it  out  of  the  hand  of  thy 
son. 

13  Howbeit  I  will  not  rend 
away  all  the  kingdom ;  but  will 
give  one  tribe  to  thy  son  for 
Dft'vid  my  servant's  sake,  and 
for  JS-ru'sft-lem's  sake  which  I 
hare  chosen. 

14  1FAud  the  Lord  stirred  up 
an  adversary  unto  SdTo*mon, 
Hft'dftd  the  fe'dom-ite:  he  was 
of  the  king's  seed  in  E'dom. 

15  For  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Dft'vid  was  in  E'dom,  and  Jd'Sb 
the  captain  of  the  host  was 
gone  up  to  bury  the  slain,  after 
he  had  smitten  every  male  in 
E'dom; 

16  (Tor  six  months  did  Jd'ftb 
remain  there  with  all  ls/ra-el, 
until  he  had  cut  off  every  male 
in  E'dom :) 

17  That  Hft'dftd  fled,  he  and 
certain  E'dom-ites  of  his  fa- 
ther's servants  with  him,  to  go 
into  E'fcfpt;  Hrdftd  being  yet 
a  little  child. 

18  And  they  arose  out  of  Mld'- 
i-an,  and  came  to  Pft'ran :  and 
they  took  men  with  them  out 
of  Pft'ran,  and  they  came  to 
fi'gjrpt,  unto  Phfi'raSh  king  of 
E'SJptJ  which  gave  him  an 
house,  and  appointed  him  vict- 
uals, and  gave  him  land. 

19  And  Hft'dftd  found  great 
favour  in  the  sight  of  Phft'radh, 
so  that  he  gave  him  to  wife  the 
sister  of  his  own  wife,  the  sis- 
ter of  Tah'pen-€$  the  queen. 

20  And  the  sister  of  Tah'pen- 
Sa  bare  him  G€-nii'bftth  his  son, 
whom  TSh'pen-Sa  weaned  in 
Phft'radh's  house:  and  Ge-nQ'- 
bftth  was  in  Phft'raoVs  house- 
hold among  the  sons  of  Phfi'- 
ra5h.

HaM&d  said  to  PhatetCh,  Let 
me  depart,  that  I  may  go  to

22  Then  Phfi'raoh  said  unto 
him,  But  what  hast  thou  tacked 
with  me,  that,  behold,  thou  seek- 
est  to  go  to  thine  own  country  ? 
And  He  answered,  Nothing: 
howbeit  let  me  go  in  any  wise, 

23  IT  And  God  stirred  him  up 
another  adversary,  Re'zdn  the 
son  of  £-H'a-dah,  which  fled 
from  his  lord  H&d-ad-€'zer  king 
ofZo'hah:. 

24  And  he  gathered  men  unto 
him,  and  became  captain  over 
a  band,  when  Da'vid  slew  them 
of  Zobah :  and  thev  went  to 
Da-mfis'cus,  and  dwelt  therein, 
and  reigned  in  DS-mas'cus. 

25  And  he  was  an  adversary 
to  Ig'ra-el  all  the  days  of  SdT- 
o-mon,  .beside  the  mischief  that 
Ha'd&d  did :  and  he  abhorred 
Is/ra-el,  and  reigned  over,  Sjfrl-a.

of  Nrbftt,  an  Eph'rath-ite  of 
ZeVe-da,  SdTo-mon's  servant, 
whose  mother's:  name  was  Ze-

lifted  up  his  hand  against  the 
king. 

27  And  this  was  the  cause

against  the  king :  S5l'o-mon 
built  MI116,  and  repaired  the 
breaches  of  the  city  of  Da'vid 
his  father. 

28  And  the  man  Jer-o-bS'am 
was  a  mighty  man  of  valour: 
and  S51'o-mon  seeing  the  young 
man  that  he  was  industrious, 
he  made  him  ruler  over  all  the 
charge  of  the  house  of  Joseph. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass  at  that 
time  when  Jer-o-h6'am  went  put 
of  JS-ru'sa-lem,  that  the  prophet 
A-hi'jah  the  Shilo-aite  found 
him  in  the  way;  and  he  had 
clad  himself  with  a  new  gar- 
ment; and  they  two  were  alone 
in  the  field : 

30  And  A-h!'jah  caught  the 
new  garment  that  was  on  him, 
and  rent  it  in  twelve  pieces: 

31  And  he  said  to  Jer-o-b5'am, 
Take  thee  ten  pieces :  for  thus 
saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  'Behold,  I  will  rend  the 
kingdom  out  of  the  hand  of 
SdTo-mon,  and  will  give  ten 
tribes  to  thee: 

32  (But  he  shall  have  one 
tribe  for  my  servant  Da'vid's 
sake,  and  for  JS-ru'sa-lSm's  sake, 
the  city  which  I  have  chosen 
out  of  all  the  tribes  of  T§'ra-e! :) 

33  Because  that  they  have  for- 


saken me,  and  have  worshipped 
Ash'to-rSth  the  goddess  of  the 
Zl-do'nI-ana,  Chrrndsh  the,  god 
of  the  M5'ab-ites,  and  Mfl'com 
the  god  of.  the  children  of  Am'- 
m5n,  and  have  not  walked  in 
my  ways,  to  do  that  which  is 
right  in  mine  eyes,  and  to  keep 
my  statutes  and  m    '   " 


.  tents, 

as  did  Da'vid  his  father. 

34  Howbeit  I  will  not  take  the. 
whole  kingdom  out  of  his  hand : 
but  I  will  make  him  prince  all 
the  days  of  his  life  for  Da'vid 
my  servant's  sake,  whom  I 
chose,  because  he  kept  my  com- 
mandments and  my  statutes.: 

35  But  I  will  take  the  king- 
dom out  of  his  son's  hand,  and 
will  give  it  unto  tjiee,  even  ten 
tribes,    .  . 

36  And  unto  his  son  will  t 
give  one  tribe,  that  Da'vid  my 
servant  may  have  a  light  alway 
before  ma  in  J£-rn4saVlem,  the 
city  which  I  have  chosen  me  to 
put  my  name  there.   - 

37  And  I  will  take  thee,  and 
thou  shalt  reign  according  to 
all  that  thy  soul  deapretlp,  and 
shalt  be  king  over  Is/ra-eL .  . 

38  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou 
wilt  hearken  unto  all  that  I  com- 
mand thee,  and  wilt  walk  in  my 
ways,  and  do  that  is  right  in 
my  sight,  to  keep  my  statutes 
and  my  commanqments,  as  Dfi'- 
yid  my  servant  did ;  that  I  will 
be  with  thee,  and  build,  thee  a 
sure  house,  as  I  built  f  or'D&Md, 
and  will  gjve  Is'ra-el  unto  thee. 

39  And  I  will  for  this  afflict 
the  seed  of  Da'vid,  hut  not  for 
ever. 

40  SdTo-mon  sought. therefore 
to  kill  Jgr-o-bo'am.  And  Jer-o- 
bo'ara  arose,  and  fled  into 
Egypt,  unto  Shi'shak  king  of 
E'&ypt,  *&&  was  in  E'^Jpt  until 
the  death  of  SoTo-onon.  . 

41  t  And  the.  rest  of  the  acts 
of  SdlVmon,  and  all  that  he 
did,  and  his.  wisdom,  are  they 
not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
acts  of  S6To-mon.? 

42  And  the  time  that  SdT- 
o-mon reigned  in  JS-ru'sa-lera 
over  all  Ig'rarel  was  forty  years. 

43  And  SdTo-mon  slept  with 
his  fathers,  and  was  buried  in 
the  city  of  Da'vid  his  father: 
and  Re-horbo'am  his  son  reigned 
in  his  stead.

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Jer-o-bd'am  the  son  of  NTbftt, 
who  was  yet  in  r^gypt,  heard 
of  it,  (for  he  was  fled  from  the 

Sresence  of  king  SfiTo-mon,  and 
er-o-bO'ara  dwelt  in  fTgtfpt;) 

3  That  they  sent  and:  called 
him.  And  Jer«o-b6'am  and  all 
the  congregation  of  !g'ra-el 
came,  and  spake  unto  Re-ho- 
bfl'am,  sayings 

4  Thy  father"  made  our  yoke 
grievous:  now  therefore  make 
thou  the  grievous  service  of  thy 
lather,  and  his  heavy  yoke 
which  he  put  upon  us,  lighter, 
and  we  win  serve  thee. 

5  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Depart  yet  for  three  days,  then 
come  again  to  me.  And  the 
people  departed. 

6  TT  And  king  RS-ho-bo^am  con- 
sulted with  the  old  men,  that 
stood  before  SdTo-mon  hfs  fa- 
ther while  be  yet  lived,  and 
said.  How  do  ye  advise  that  I 
may  answer  this  people? 

7  And  thev  spake  unto  him, 
saying,  if  thou  wilt  be  a  serv- 
ant unto  this  people  this  day, 
and  wilt  serve  them,  and  an- 
swer them,  and  speak  good 
words  to  them,  then  they  will 
be  thy  servants  for  ever.     . 

8  But  he  forsook  the  counsel 
of  the  old  men,  which  they  had 
riven  him,  and  consulted  with 
fiie  young  men  that  were  grown 
up  with  him,  and  which  stood 
before  him: 

9  And  he  said  unto  them, 
What  counsel  give  ye  that  we 
may  answer  this  people,  who 
have  spoken  to  me,  saying, 
Make  the  yoke  which  thy  fa- 
ther did  put  upon  us  lighter? 

10  And  the  young  men  that 
were  grown  up  with  him  spake 
unto  nim,  saying,  Thus  shalt 
thou  speak  unto  this  people 
that  spake  unto  thee,  saying, 
Thy  lather  made  our  yoke 
heavy,  but  make  thou  it  lighter 
unto  us ;  thus  shalt  thou  say  un- 
to them,  My  little  finger  shall  be 
thicker  than  my  father's  loins. 

11  And  now  whereas  my  father 
d^d  lade  you  with  a  heavy  yoke, 
I  will  add  to  your  ■yoke:  my 
father  hath  chastised' you  with 
whips,  but  I  will  chastise  you 
with  scorpions^ 

12  ITSo  Jer-o-b6'am  and  all  the 
people  came  to  R&ho-bd'am  the 
third  day,  as  the  king  had  ap- 
pointed, savins,  Come  to  me 
again  the  third  day. 

13  And  the  king  answered  the 
people  roughly,  and  forsook  the 
old  men's  counsel  that  they  gave 
him; 


14  And  spake  to  them  after 
the  counsel  of  the  young  men, 
saying,  My  father  made  your 
yoke  heavy,  and  I  will  add  to 
your  yoke:  my  father  also  chas- 
tised you  with  whips,  but  I  will 
chastise  you  with  scorpions. 

15  Wherefore  the  king  heark- 
ened not  unto  the  people;  for 
the  cause  was  from  the  Lord, 
that  he  might  perform  his  say- 
ing, which  the  Lord  spake  by 
A-hi'jah  the  Shflo-nite  unto  Jer- 
o-b5'am  the  son  of  Ne~b£t. 

16  f  So  when  all  ls/ra-el  saw 
that  the  king  hearkened  not 
unto  them,  the  people  answered 
the  king,  saying,  What  portion 
have  we  in  pa'vid?  neither 
have  we  inheritance  in  the  son 
of  Jes'se:  to  your  tents,  0  !s> 
ra-el:  now  see  to  thine  own 
house,  Dft'vid.  So  ls/ra-el  de- 
parted unto  their  tents. 

17  But  as  for  the  children  of 
I&'ra-el  which  dwelt  in  the  cities 
of  Jfl'dafc;  R£-ho-b$'am  reigned 
over  them. 

18  Theto  :  king  Re^bo-bffam 
sent  A^dS'ram,  who  woe  over 
the  tribute;  and  all  ls/ra-el 
stoned  him  with  stones,  that 
he  died.  Therefore  king  Re- 
ho-bffam  made  speed  to  get 
him  up  to  his  chariot,  to  flee  to 
Je^ru's&-lSm. 

19  So  ls/ra-el  rebelled  against 
the  house  of  DaVid  unto  this 
day. 

20  ITAnd  it  came  to  pass,  when 
all  ls/ra-el  heard  that  Jfer-o-ba'- 
am  was  come  again,  that  they 
sent  and  called  him  unto  the 
congregation,  and  made  him 
king  over  all  ls/ra-el :  there  was 
none  that  followed  the  house  of 
Da'vid,  but  the  tribe  of  Jfl'dah 
only. 

21  IF  And '  when  R6-ho-b5'am 
was  come  to  Je^ro'si-lem,  he 
assembled  all  the  house  of  Jfl'- 
dah, with  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja- 
mln,  an  hundred  and  fourscore 
thousand  chosen  men,  which 
were  warriors,  to  fight  against 
the  house  of'Ift'ra-el,  to  bring 
the  kingdom  again  to  Re-ho- 
bffam  the  son  of  SoTo-mon. 

'  22  But  the  word  of  God  came 
unto  Sh$m-a-i'ah  the  man  of 
God,  saying, 

23  Speak  unto  RE-ho-bd'am, 
the  son  of  SdTo-mon,  king  of 
Jfl'dah,  and  unto  all  the  house 
of  Jfl'dah  and  Bgn'ja-min,  and 
to  the  remnant  of  the  people, 
saying, 

24  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye 
shall  not  go  up,  nor  fight  against 
your  brethren  the  children  of 
is/ra-el:  return  every  man  to

his  house;  for  this  thins  is  from 
me.  They  hearkened  therefore 
to  the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  re- 
turned to  depart,  according  to 
the  word  of  the  Lord. 

25  IT  Then  Jer-o-bft'am  built 
She'chem  in  mount  E'phrS-Im, 
and  dwelt  therein;  and  went  out 
from  thence,  and  built  PS-nG'el. 

26  IF  And  Jer-o-bC'am  said  in 
his  heart,  Now  shall  the  king- 
dom return  to  the  house  of 
Da'vid: 

27  If  this  people  go  up  to  do 
sacrifice  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord  at  J£-ru'sa-l2m,  then  shall 
the  heart  of  this  people  turn 
again  unto  their  lord,  even  un- 
to Re-ho-bo'am  kins  of  Ju'dah, 
and  they  shall  kill  me,  and  go 
again  to  Re-ho-bo'am  king  of 
Ju'dah. 

28  Whereupon  the  king  took 
counsel,  and  made  two  calves 
of  gold,  and  said  unto  them,  It 
is  too  much  for  you  to  go  up  to 
Je^ru/sa-lem:  behold  thy  gods, 
0  Ifi'ra-el,  which  brought  thee 
up  out  of  the  land  of  E'&jFpt. 

29  And  he  set  the  one  in 
Btth'-el,  and  the  other  put  he 
in  Dftn. 

30  And  this  thins  became  a 
sin:  for  the  people  went  to 
worship  before  the  one,  even 
unto  Dan. 

31  And  he  made  an  house  of 
high  places,  and  made  priests 
of  the  lowest  of  the  people, 
which  were  not  of  the  sons  of 
Le'vi. 

32  And  Jer-o-bS'am  ordained  a 
feast  in  the  eighth  month,  on 
the  fifteenth  day  of  the  month, 
like  unto  the  feast  that  is  in 
Ju'dah,  and  he  offered  upon  the 
altar.  So  did  he  in  Beth'-el, 
sacrificing  unto  the  calves  that 
he  had  made:  and  he  placed  in 
Beth'-el  the  priests  of  the  high 
places  which  he  had  made. 

33  So  he  offered  upon  the  altar 
which  he  had  made  in  B£th'-el 
the  fifteenth  day  of  the  eighth 
month,  even  in  the  month  which 
he  had  devised  of  his  own  heart ; 
and  ordained  a  feast  unto  the 
children  of  l&'ra-el:  and  he  of- 
fered upon  the  altar,  and  burnt 
incense.

saith  the  Lord  ;  Behold,  a  child 
shall  be  born  unto  the  house  of 
Da'vid,  Jd-si'ah  by  name;  and 
upon  thee  shall  he  offer  the 
priests  of  the  high  places  that 
burn  incense  upon  thee,  and 
men's  bones  shall  be  burnt  upon 
thee. 

3  And  he  gave  a  sign  the  same 
day,  saying,  This  t*  the  sign 
which  the  Lord  hath  spoken ; 
Behold,  the  altar  shall  be  rent, 
and  the  ashes  that  are  upon  it 
shall  be  poured  out 

4  1  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
king  Jer-o-bd'am  heard  the  say- 
ing of  the  man  of  God,  which 
had  cried  against  the  altar  in 
Btth'-el,  that  he  put  forth  his 
hand  from  the  altar,  saying,  Lay 
hold  on  him.  And  his  nana, 
which  he  put  forth  against 
him,  dried  up,  so  that  he  could 
not  pull  it  in  again  to  him. 

5  The  altar  also  was  rent,  and  ch.14.17. 
the  ashes  poured  out  from  the  al- 
tar, according  to  the  sign  which 
the  man  of  God  had  given  by 
the  word  of  the  Lord. 

6  And  the  king  answered  and 
said  unto  the  man  of  God,  In- 
treat  now  the.  face  of  the  Lord 
thy  God,  and  pray  for  me,  that 
my  hand  may  be  restored  me 
again.  And  the  man  of  God  be- 
sought the  Lord,  and  the  king's 
hand  was  restored  him  again, 
and  became  as  it  woe  before. 

7  IFAnd  the  king  said  unto  the 
man  of  God,  Come  home  with 
me,  and  refresh  thyself,  and  I 
will  give  thee  a  reward. 

8  And  the  man  of  God  said  un- 
to the  king,  If  thou  wilt  give  me 
half  thine  house,  I  will  not  go  in 
with  thee,  neither  will  I  eat 
bread  nor  drink  water  in  this 
place: 

9  For  so  was  it  charged  me  by 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  saying, 
Eat  no  bread,  nor  drink  water, 
nor  turn  again  by  the  same  way 
that  thou  earnest 

10  So  he  went  another  way, 
and  returned  not  by  the  way 
that  he  came  to  B£th'-eL 

11  f  Now  there  dwelt  an  old 
prophet  in  BSth'-el ;  and  his  Jud.6J.  Prophets

works  that  the  man  of  God  had 
done  that  day  in  BSth'-el :  the 
words  which  he  had  spoken  un- 
to the  king,  them  they  told  also 
to  their  father. 

12  And  their  father  said  unto 
them.  What  way  went  he?  For 
his  sons  had  seen  what  way  the 
man  of  God  went  which  came 
from  Ju'dah.

13  And  he  said  unto  his  sons, 
Saddle  me  the  ass.  So  they  sad- 
dled him  the  ass:  and  he  rode 
thereon, 

14  And  went  after  the  man  of 
God,  and  found  him  sitting  un- 
der an  oak :  and  he  said  unto 
him,  Art  thou  the  man  of  God 
that  earnest  from  Ju'dah?  And 
he  said,  I  am. 

15  Then  he  said  unto  him, 
Come  home  with  me,  and  eat 
bread. 

16  And  he  said,  I  may  not  re- 
turn with  thee,  nor  go  in  with 
thee:  neither  will  f  eat  bread 
nor  drink  water  with  thee 
this  place: 

17  For  it  was  said  to  me  by  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  Thou  shalt 
eat  no  bread  nor  drink  water 
there,  nor  turn  again  to  go  by 
the  way  that  thou  earnest 

18  He  said  unto  him,  I  am  a 
prophet  also  as  thou  art ;  and 
an  angel  spake  unto  me  by  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  saying,  Bring 
him  back  with  thee  into  thine 
house,  that  he  may  eat  bread 
and  drink  water.  But  he  lied 
unto  him. 

19  So  he  went  back  with  him, 
and  did  eat  bread  in  his  house, 
and  drank  water. 

20  IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
they  sat  at  the  table,  that  the 
word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  the 
prophet  that  brought  him  back : 

21  And  he  cried  unto  the  man 
of  God  that  came  from  Ju'dah, 
saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Forasmuch  as  thou  hast  dis- 
obeyed the  mouth  of  the  Lord, 
and  hast  not  kept  the  command- 
ment which  the  Lord  thy  God 
commanded  thee, 

22  But  earnest  back,  and  hast 
eaten  bread  and  drunk  water 
in  the  place,  of  the  which  the 
Lord  did  say  to  thee,  Eat  no 
bread,  and  dnnk  no  water ;  thy 
carcase  shall  not  come  unto  the 
sepulchre  of  thy  fathers. 

23  IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  after 
he  had  eaten  bread,  and  after  he 
had  drunk,  that  he  saddled  for 
him  the   ass,  to  vrit,  for  the 

trophet  whom  he  had  brought 
tack 

24  And  when  he  was  gone,  a 
lion  met  him  by  the  way,  and 
slew  him :  and  his  carcase  was 
cast  in  the  way,  and  the  ass 
stood  by  it,  the  Hon  also  stood 
by  the  carcase. 

25  And,  behold,  men  passed 
by,  and  saw  the  carcase  cast  in 
the  way,  and  the  Hon  standing 
by  the  carcase :  and  they  came 
and  told  it  in  the  city  where 
the  old  prophet  dwelt. 


26  If  And  when  the  prophet 
that  brought  him  back  from  the 
way  heard  thereof,  he  said,  It 
is  the  man  of  God,  who  was 
disobedient  unto  the  word  of 
the  Lord:  therefore  the  Lord 
hath  delivered  him  unto  the 
lion,  which  hath  torn  him,  and 
slain  him,  according  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  which  he  spake 
unto  him. 

27  And  he  spake  to  his  sons, 
saying,  Saddle  me  the  ass.  And 
they  saddled  him. 

28  And  he  went  and  found  his 
carcase  cast  in  the  way,  and 
the  ass  and  the  lion  standing 
by  the  carcase:  the  lion  had 
not  eaten  the  carcase,  nor  torn 
the  ass. 

29  And  the  prophet  took  up 
the  carcase  of  the  man  of  God, 
and  laid  it  upon  the  ass,  and 
brought  it  back:  and  the  old 
prophet  came  to  the  city,  to 
mourn  and  to  bury  him. 

30  And  he  laid  his  carcase 
in  his  own  grave;  and  they 
mourned  over  him,  saying, 
Alas,  my  brother! 

31  Ana  it  came  to  pass,  after 
he  had  buried  him,  that  he 
spake  to  his  sons,  saying,  When 
I  am  dead,  then  bury  me  in  the 
sepulchre  wherein  the  man  of 
God  is  buried;  lay  my  bones 
beside  his  bones : 

32  For  the  saying  which  he 
cried  by  the  word  of  the  Lord 
against  the  altar  in  BSth'-el, 
and  against  all  the  houses  of 
the  high  places  which  are  in 
the  cities  of  Sa-mfi'rl-A,  shall 
surely  come  to  pass. 

33  ITAfter  this  thing  Jer-o4>5'- 
am  returned  not  from  his  evil 
way,  but  made  again  of  the 
lowest  of  the  people  priests 
of  the  high  places:  whosoever 
would,  he  consecrated  him,  and 
he  became  one  of  the  priests  of 
the  high  places. 

34  And  this  thing  became  sin 
unto  the  house  of  Jer-o-bo'am, 
even  to  cut  it  off,  and  to  de- 
stroy it  from  off  the  face  of  the 
earth.

that  I  should  be  king  over  this 
people. 

3  And   take   with   thee   ten 
loaves,  and  cracknels,  and   a 
cruse  of  honev,  and  go  to  him 
he  shall  tell  thee  what  shall  be- 
come of  the  child. 

4  And  Jer-o-bfi'am's  wife  did 
so,  and  arose,  and  went  to  Shi'- 
15h,  and  came  to  the  house  of 
A-hi'jah.  But  A-hi'jah  could 
not  see;  for  his  eyes  were  set 
by  reason  of  his  age. 

.  %  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
A-hi'jah,  Behold,  the  wife  of 
Jer-o-bS'am  cometh  to  ask  a 
thing  of  thee  for  her  son ;  for 
he  is  sick :  thus  and  thus  shalt 
thou  say  unto  her :  for  it  shall 
be,  when  she  cometh  in,  that 
she  shall  feign  herself  to  be  an- 
other woman. 

6  And  it  was  so,  when  A-hi'- 
jah  heard  the  sound  of  her  feet, 
as  she  came  in  at  the  door,  that 
he  said,  Come  in,  thou  wife  of 
Jer-o-bo'am ;  why  feignest  thou 
thyself  to  be  another?  for  I  am 
sent  to  thee  with  heavy  tidings. 

7  Go,  tell  Jer-o-he'am,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  is'ra-el, 
Forasmuch  as  I  exalted  thee 
from  among  the  people,  and 
made  thee  prince  over  my  peo- 
ple Is'ra-el, 

8  And  rent  the  kingdom  away 
from  the  house  of  Di'vid,  and 
gave  it  thee :  and  yet  thou  hast 
not  been  as  my  servant  Dfi'vid, 
who  kept  my  commandments, 
and  who  followed  me  with  all 
his  heart,  to  do  that  only  which 
was  right  in  mine  eyes; 

9  But  hast  done  evil  above  all 
that  were  before  thee :  for  thou 
hast  gone  and  made  thee  other 
gods,  and  molten  images,  to 
provoke  me  to  anger,  and  hast 
cast  me  behind  thy  back : 

10  Therefore,  behold,  I  will 
bring  evil  upon  the  house  of 
Jer-o-bS'am,  and  will  cut  off 
from  Je*r-o-b6"am  him  that  piss- 
e{h  against  the  wall,  and  hini 
that  is  shut  up  and  left  in  Ig'ra- 
el,  and  will  take  away  the  rem- 
nant of  the  house  of  Jer-o-bS'am, 
as  a  man  taketh  away  dung,  till 
it  be  all  gone. 

11  Him  that  dieth  of  Jer-o-bC'- 
am  in  the  city  shall  the  dogs 
eat;  and  him  that  dieth  in  the 
field  shall  the  fowls  of  the  air 
eat :  for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

12  Arise  thou  therefore,  get 
thee  to  thine  own  house :  and 
when  thy  feet  enter  into  the 
city,  the  child  shall  die. 

l£  And  all  Is'ra-el  shall  mourn 
for  him,  and  bury  him:  for  he 
only  of  Jer-o-b5'am  shall  come 


to  the  grave,  because  in  him 
there  is  found  some  good  thing 
toward  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el 
in  the  house  of  Jer-o-bfl'am. 

14  Moreover  the  Lord  shall 
raise  him  up  a  king  over  Is'ra- 
el,  who  shall  cut  off  the. house 
of  Jer-o-b5'am  that  day:  but 
what?  even  now. 

15  For  the  Lord  shall  smite 
Is'ra-el,  as  a  reed  is  shaken  in 
the  water,  and  he  shall  root  up 
Is'ra-el  out  of  this  good  land, 
which  he  gave  to  their  fathers, 
and  shall  scatter  them  beyond 
the  river,  because  they  nave 
made  their  groves,  provoking 
the  Lord  to  anger. 

16  And  he  shall  give  Is'ra-el 
up  because  of  the  sins  of  Jer- 
o-bo'am,  who  did  sin,  and  who 
made  ls'ra-el  to  sin. 

17  t  And  J5r-o-b5'am's  wife 
arose,  and  departed,  and  came 
to  Tir'zah :  and  when  she  came 
to  the  threshold  of  the  door, 
the  child  died; 

18  And  they  buried  him ;  and 
all  ls'ra-el  mourned  for  him, 
according  to  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  which  he  spake  by  the 
hand  of  his  servant  A-hi'jah 
the  prophet 

19  Ana  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Jer-o-bd'am,  how  he  warred,  and 
how  he  reigned,  behold,  they 
are  written  in  the  book  of  the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is'- 
ra-el. 

20  And  the  days  which  Jer-o- 
bo'am  reigned  were  two  and 
twenty  years :  and  he  slept  with 
his  fathers,  and  Na'd&b  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

21  IT  And  Rg-ho-b5'am  the  son 
of  SdTo-mon  reigned  in  Ju'dah. 
RS-ho-b5'am  was  forty  and  one 
years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  he  reigned  seven- 
teen years  in  Je-ru'sfi-lem,  the 
city  which  the  Lord  did  choose 
out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el, 
to  put  his  name  there.  And  his 
mother's  name  was  Ni'a-mah 
an  Am'mon-it-ess. 

22  And  Ju'dah  did  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  and  they 
provoked  him  to  jealousy  with 
their  sins  which  they  had  com- 
mitted, above  all  that  their  fa- 
thers had  done. 

23  For  they  also  built  them 
high  places,  and!  images,  and 
groves,  on  every  high  hill,  and 
under  every  green  tree. 

24  And  there  were  also  sodom 
ites  in  the  land :  and  they  did 
according  to  all  the  abomina- 
tions of  the  nations  which  the 
Lord  cast  out  before  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el.

25  IT  And  it  came  to  pass  in 
the  fifth  year  of  king  Rg-ho-bO'- 
am,  that  Shi'shfik  king  of  B'&frt 
came  up  against  JS-rg-sfilem : 

26  And  ne  took  away  the 
treasures  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  treasures  of  the 
king's  house;  he  even  took 
away  all:  and  he  took  away 
all  the  shields  of  gold  which 
SdTo-mon  had  made. 

27  And  king  Re-hohd'am  made 
in  their  steadfarasen  shields,  and 
committed  them  unto  the  hands 
of  the  chief  of  the  guard,  which 
kept  the  door  of  the  king's  house. 

28  And  it  was  so,  when  the 
king  went  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  that  the  guard  hare  them, 
and  hrought  them  back  into  the 
guard  chamber. 

29  IT  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  R5-ho-bS'am,  and  all  that  he 
did,  are  they  not  written  in  the 
book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Jfi'dah? 

30  And  there  was  war  between 
ReVho-bd'am  and  Jer-o-b5'am  all 
their  days. 

31  And  Re-ho-bG'am  slept  with 
his  fathers,  and  was  buried  with 
his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Dfi'vid. 
And  his  mother's  name  wets  Nfi'- 
a-mah  an  Am'mon-lt-ess.  And 
A-bi'jam  his  son  reigned  in  his 
stead.

NOW  in  the  eighteenth  year 
of  king  Jer-o-b5'am  the  son 
of  NCbfit  reigned  A-bi'jam  over 
Jfi'dah. 

2  Three  years  reigned  he  in 
JS-rg'saVlein.  And  his  mother's 
name  was  Mfi'a-chah,  the  daugh- 
ter of  A-bIsh'a-15m. 

3  And  he  walked  in  all  the 
sins  of  his  father,  which  he  had 
done  before  him :  and  his  heart 
was  not  perfect  with  the  Lord 
his  God,  as  the  heart  of  Dfi'vid 
his  father. 

4  Nevertheless  for  Dfl'vid's 
sake  did  the  Lord  his  God  give 
him  a  lamp  in  Je^ru'sfi-lem,  to 
set  up  bis  son  after  him,  and  to 
establish  Je^ru'saVlem : 

5  Because  Dfi'vid  did  that 
which  was  right  in  the  eyes 
of  the  Lord,  and  turned  not 
aside  from  any  thing  that  he 
commanded  him  all  the  days  of 
his  life,  save  only  in  the  mat- 
ter of  U-ri'ah  the  HIt'tite. 

6  And  there  was  war  between 
RS-ho-bQ'am  and  Jer-o-bC'am  all 
the  days  of  his  life. 

7  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 


A-bi'jam,  and  all  that  he  did, 
are  they  not  written  in  the 
book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Jfi'dah  ?  And  there 
was  war  between  A-bi'jam  and 
Jer-o-bS'am. 

8  And  A-bi'jam  slept  with  his 
fathers;  and  they  buried  him 
in  the  city  of  Dfi'vid :  and  A'sa 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

9  IF  And  in  the  twentieth  year 
of  Jer-o-b5'am  king  of  Is/ra-el 
reigned  A'sa  over  Jfi'dah. 

10  And  forty  and  one  years 
reigned  he  in  Je-ru'sfi-lSm.  And 
his  mother's  name  was  Mfi'a- 
chah,  the  daughter  of  A-bish'a* 
16m. 

11  And  A'sa  did  that  which 
was  right  in  the  eyes  of  the 
Lord,  as  did  Dfi'vid  his  father. 

12  And  he  took  away  the 
sodomites  out  of  the  land,  and 
removed  all  the  idols  that  his 
fathers  had  made. 

13  And  also  Mfi'a-cbah  his 
mother,  even  her  he  removed 
from  being  queen,  because  she 
had  made  an  idol  in  a  grove; 
and  A'sa  destroyed  her  idol, 
and  burnt  it  by  the  brook  Kfd'- 
ron. 

14  But  the  high  places  were 
not  removed :  nevertheless 
A'sa's  heart  was  perfect  with 
the  Lord  all  his  days. 

15  And  he  brought  in  the 
things  which  his  father  had 
dedicated,  and  the  things  which 
himself  had  dedicated,  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  silver,  and 
gold,  and  vessels. 

16  IF  And  there  was  war  be- 
tween A'sa  and  Bfi'a-sha  king 
of  ls'ra-el  all  their  days. 

17  And  Bfi'a-sha  king  of  ls'ra- 
el  went  up  against  Jfi'dah,  and 
built  Rfi'mah,  that  he  might  not 
suffer  any  to  go  out  or  come  in 
to  A'sa  king  of  Jfi'dah. 

18  Then  A'sa  took  all  the  sil- 
ver and  the  gold  that  were  left 
in  the  treasures  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  treasures  of 
the  king's  house,  and  delivered 
them  into  the  hand  of  his  serv- 
ants :  and  king  A'sa  sent  them 
to  Ben-hfl'dfid,  the  son  of  Tfib'- 
rf-mon,  the  son  of  HS'ri-on,  king 
of  Sfrl-a,  that  dwelt  at  Dfi-mfis - 
cus,  saying, 

19  There  is  a  league  between 
me  and  thee,  and  between  my 
father  and  thy  father :  behold, 
I  have  sent  unto  thee  a  present 
of  silver  and  gold;  come  and 
break  thy  league  with  Bfi'a-sha 
king  of  Is/ra-el,  that  he  may 
depart  from  me. 

20  So  Ben-hft'dfid  hearkened 
unto  king  A'sa,  and  sent  the

had  against  the  cities  of  Is/ra-el, 
and  smote  1'jon,  and  D&n,  and 
A'bel-b£th-mfi'a-chah,  and  all 
Qln'ne-r5th,  with  all  the  land  of 
Nfiph'ta-IL 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
B&'a-sha  heard  thereof,  that  he 
left  off  building  of  Rfi'mah,  and 
dwelt  in  Tir'zah. 

22  Then   king  A'sa  made  a 

5 reclamation  throughout  all 
u'dah;  none  was  exempted: 
and  they  took  away  the  stones 
of  Ra'mah,  and  the  timber 
thereof,  wherewith  Ba'a-sha 
had  builded;  and  king  A'sa 
built  with  them  Ge1>a  of  Ben'- 
ja-min,  and  MIz'pah. 

23  The  rest  of  all  the  acts  of 
A'sa,  and  all  his  might,  and  all 
that  he  did,  and  the  cities  which 
he  built,  are  they  not  written  in 
the  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Ju'dah?  Nevertheless 
in  the  time  of  his  old  age  he  was 
diseased  in  his  feet 

24  And  A'sa  slept  with  his  fa- 
thers,  and  was  buried  with  his 
fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid  his 
father :  and  J£-h5sh'a-ph&t  his 
son  reigned  in  his  stead.  . 

25  IF  And  Nft'd&b  the  son  of 
Jer-o-b5'am  began  to  reign  over 
Is/ra-el  in  the  second  year  of 
A'sa  king  of  Jfi'dah,  and  reigned 
over  Ig'ra-el  two  years. 

26  And  he  did  evil  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord,  and  walked  in  the 
way  of  his  father,  and  in  his  sin 
wherewith  he  made  Ig'ra-el  to 
sin. 

27  If  And  B&'a-sha  the  son  of 
A-hl'jah,  of  the  house  of  ls'sa- 
char,  conspired  against  him; 
and  B&'a-sha  smote  him  at  Gib'- 
be-th5n,  which  belonged  to  the 
Phi-Us'tlnea;  for  NS'dSb  and 
all  Is/ra-el  laid  siege  to  Gib'be- 
thOn. 

28  Even  in  the  third  year  of 
A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah  did  Ba'a- 
sha  slay  him,  and  reigned  in 
his  stead. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  reigned,  that  he  smote  all 
the  house  of  Jer-o-bd'ani ;  he 
left  not  to  Jex-o-b5'am  any  that 
breathed,  until  he  had  de 
stroyed  him,  according  unto 
the  saving  of  the  Lord,  which 
he  spake  by  his  servant  A-hi'jah 
the  Shilo-nite: 

30  Because  of  the  sins  of  Jer- 
o-bd'am  which  he  sinned,  and 
which  he  made  Ig'ra-el  sin,  by 
his  provocation  wherewith  he 
provoked  the  Lord  God  of  Ig'- 
ra-el to  anger. 

31  IT  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  Na'd&b,  and  all  that  he  did, 


are  they  not  written  in  the 
book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Ig'ra-el  ? 

32  And  there  was  war  between 
A'sa  and  Ba'a-sha  king  of  Ig'ra-el 
all  their  days. 

33  fin  the  third  year  of  A'sa 
king  of  Jfi'dah  began  B&'a-sha 
the  son  of  A-hi'jah  to  reign  over 
all  Ig'ra-el  in  Tir'zah,  twenty 
and  four  years. 

34  And  he  did  evil  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord,  and  walked  in  the 
way  of  Jer-o-bS'am,  and  in  his 
sin  wherewith  he  made  Ig'ra-el 
to  sin.

rnHEN  the  word  of  the  Lord 
X  came  to  JeTifl  the  son  of 
HS-nS'ni  against  Ba'a-sha,  say- 
ing, 

2  Forasmuch  as  I  exalted  thee 
out  of  the  dust,  and  made  thee 
prince  over  my  people  Ig'ra-el ; 
and  thou  hast  walked  in  the 
way  of  Je'r-o-bo"am,  and  hast 
made  my  people  Ig'ra-el  to  sin, 
to  provoke  me  to  anger  with 
their  sins; 

3  Behold,  I  will  take  away  the 
posterity  of  B&'a-sha,  and  the 
posterity  of  his  house;  and  will 
make'  thy  house  like  the  house 
of  Jer-o-b5'am  the  son  of  Ne^fit 

4  Him  that  dieth  of  B&'a-sha 
in  the  city  shall  the  dogs  eat; 
and  him  that  dieth  of  his  in  the 
fields  shall  the  fowls  of  the  air 
eat 

5  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Ba'a-sha,  and  what  he  did,  and 
his  might,  are  they  not  written 
in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of 
the  kings  of  lg'ra-el  ? 

6  So  Ba'a-sha  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  was  buried  in  Tir'- 
zah :  and  filah  his  son  reigned 
in  his  stead. 

7  And  also  by  the  hand  of  the 
prophet  JS'hii  the  son  of  Hft-nfi'- 
ni  came  the  word  of  the  Lord 
against  B&'a-sha,  and  against 
his  house,  even  for  all  the  evil 
that  he  did  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  in  provoking  him  to  an- 
ger with  the  work  of  his  hands, 
in  being  like  the  house  of  Jer-o-

him.

spired  against  him,  as  he  was  in 
Tir'xah,  drinking  himself  drunk 
in  the  house  of  Ar'za  steward  of 
his  honse  in  Tir'xah. 

10  And  Zim'ri  went  in  and 
smote  him,  and  killed  him,  in 
the  twenty  and  seventh  year  of 
A'sa  king  of  JO'dah,  and  reigned 
in  his  stead. 

11  lAnd  it  came  to  pass,  when 
he  began  to  reign,  as  soon  as  he 
sat  on  his  throne,  that  he  slew 
all  the  honse  of  B&'a-sha:  he 
left  him  not  one  that  pisseth 
against  a  wall,  neither  of  his 
kinsfolks,  nor  of  his  friends. 

12  Thus  did  Zim'ri  destroy  all 
the  boose  of  B&'a-sha,  according 
to  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which 
he  spake  against  Bfl'a-sha  by 
J?hu  the  prophet, 

13  For  all  the  sins  of  Bfl'a- 
sha,  and  the  sins  of  Blah  his 
son,  by  which  they  sinned,  and 
'  y  which  they  made  Is/ra-el  to 

in,  in  provoking  the  Lord  God 
of  Is/ra-el  to  anger  with  their 
vanities. 

14  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
&1ah,  and  all  that  he  did,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  book  of 
the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 
Is/ra-el? 

15  ITIn  the  twenty  and  seventh 
year  of  A'sa  king  of  JO'dah  did 
ZIm'ri  reign  seven  days  in  Tir'- 
sah.  And  the  people  were 
encamped  against  Gib'be-thOn, 
which  belonged  to  the  Phl-lls'- 
tineft. 

16  And  the  people  that  were 
encamped  heard  say,  Zim'ri 
hath  conspired,  and  hath  also 
slain  the  king:  wherefore  all 
Is/ra-el  made  Om'ri,  the  captain 
of  the  host,  king  over  ls/ra-el 
that  day  in  the  camp. 

17  And  Om'rf  went  up  from 
Glb'be-th5n,  and  all  Is/ra-el  with 
him,  and  they  besieged  Tir'zah. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Zim'ri  saw  that  the  city  was 
taken,  that  he  went  into  the 
palace  of  the  king's  house,  and 
burnt  the  king's  house  over  him 
with  fire,  and  died, 

19  For  his  sins  which  he 
sinned  in  doing  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  in  walking 
in  the  way  of  Jer-o-bfl'am,  and 
in  his  sin  whkh  he  did,  to  make 
Is/ra-el  to  sin. 

20  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Zim'ri,  and  his  treason  that  he 
wrought,  are  they  not  written 
in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of 
the  kings  of  Is/ra-el  ? 

21  TThen  were  the  people  of 
ls/ra-el  divided  into  two  parts: 
half  of  the  people  followed  TTb'- 
ni  the  son  of  Gf'n&th,  to  make 


him  king;   and  half  followed 
Om'ri. 

22  But  the  people  that  fol- 
lowed Om'ri  prevailed  against 
the  people  that  followed  TIb'nl 
the  son  of  Ginfith:  so  Tib'ni 
died,  and  Om'ri  reigned. 

23  t  In  the  thirty  and  first 
year  of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah  be- 
gan Om'ri  to  reign  over  ls/ra-el, 
twelve  years :  six  years  reigned 
he  in  Tir'xah. 

24  And  he  bought  the  hill  S5- 
m&'rl-a  of  She"mer  for  two  tal- 
ents of  silver,  and  built  on  the 
hill,  and  called  the  name  of  the 
city  which  he  built,  after  the 
name  of  She'mer,  owner  of  the 
hill,  Sa-mfi'ri-a. 

25  IT  But  Om'ri  wrought  evil 
in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord,  and 
did  worse  than  all  that  were 
before  him. 

26  For  he  walked  in  all  the 
way  of  Jer-o-ba'am  the  son  of 
NeTOt,  and  in  his  sin  where- 
with he  made  Is/ra-el  to  sin,  to 
provoke  the  Lord  God  of  Is/ra-el 
to  anger  with  their  vanities. 

27  Now  the  rest  of  the  acta 
of  Om'ri  which  he  did,  and  his 
might  that  he  shewed,  are  they 
not  written  in  the  book  of 
the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 
Is/ra-el? 

28  So  Om'ri  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  was  buried  in  Sfi- 
mfi'rl-a:  and  A'hftb  his  son 
reigiled  in  his  stead. 

29  IF  And  in  the  thirty  and 
eighth  year  of  A'sa  king  of 
JQ'dah  began  A'hftb  the  son  of 
Om'ri  to  reign  over  Is/ra-el:  and 
A'hftb  the  son  of  Om'ri  reigned 
over  Is/ra-el  in  Sft-mft-ri-a  twenty 
and  two  years. 

30  And  A'hftb  the  son  of  Om'- 
ri did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  above  all  that  were  be- 
fore him. 

31  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  if 
it  had  been  a  light  thing  for 
him  to  walk  in  the  sins  of  Jer- 
o-bO'am  the  son  of  NCbftt,  that 
he  took  to  wife  JfcVe-bel  the 
daughter  of  Eth-bft'al  king  of 
the  Zi-do'nl-ang,  and  went  and 
served  Bfl'al,  and  worshipped 
him. 

32  And  he  reared  up  an  altar 
for  Bfi'al  in  the  house  of  Bfl'al, 
which  he  had  built  in  Sfl-mfl'ri-a. 

33  And  A'hftb  made  a  grove; 
and  A'hftb  did  more  to  provoke 
the  Lord  God  of  ls/ra-el  to  an-

up  the  gates  thereof  in  his 
youngest  son  Se'gub,  according 
to  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which 
he  spake  by  J&sh'u-a  the  son  of 
Nttn. 

CHAPTER  17 

Elijah,  prophesying  against  Ahab,  is 
sent  to  Cherith;  8  he  is  sent  to  a 
vnd&w  cf  Zarephath:  17  he  raises 
her  eon  to  life. 

AND  £-li'jah  the  TIslrtite, 
who  was  of  the  inhabit- 
ants of  Gfl'e-Sd,  said  unto  ATiSb, 
As  the  Lord  God  of  Is/ranel 
tiveth,  before  whom  I  stand, 
there  shall  not  be  dew  nor  rain 
these  years,  but  according  to 
my  word. 

2  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  him,  saying, 

3  Get  thee  hence,  and  torn 
thee  eastward,  and  hide  thyself 
by  the  brook  Chg'rith,  that  is 
before  Jordan. 

4  And  it  shall  be,  that  thou 
shalt  drink  of  the  brook ; .  and  I 
have  commanded  the  ravens  to 
feed  thee  there. 

5  So  he  went  and  .did  accord- 
ing unto  the  word  of  the  Lord 
for  he  went  and  dwelt  by  the 
brook  ChS'rith,  that  is  before 
JdrMan. 

6  And  the  ravens  brought  him 
bread  and  flesh  in  the  morning, 
and  bread  and  flesh  in  the  even- 
ing ;  and  he  drank  of  the  brook. 

7  And  it  came  to  pass  after  a 
while,  that  the  brook  dried  up, 
because  there  had  been  no  rain 
in  the  land.  • 

8  %  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  him,  saying, 

9  Arise,   get   thee    to   Z&r'e- 

Shfith,  which  belongeth  to  Zi'- 
5n,  and  dwell  there:  behold,  I 
have  commanded  a  widow  wom- 
an there  to  sustain  thee. 

10  So  he  arose  and  went  to 
Zdr'e-phfith.  And. when  he  came 
to  the  Kate  of  the  city,  behold, 
the  widow  woman  was  there 
gathering  of  sticks:  and  he 
called  to  her,  and  said,.  Fetch 
me,  I  pray  thee,  a  little  water 
in  a  vessel,  that  I  may  drink. 

11  And  as  she  was  going  to 
fetch  it»  he  called  to  her,  and 
said.  Bring  me,  I  prav  thee,  a 
morsel  of  bread  in  thine  hand. 

12  And  she  said,  As  the  Lord 
thy  God  liveth,  I  have  not;  a 
cake,  but  an  handful  of  meal  in 
a  barrel,  and  a  little  oil  in  a 
cruse :  and,  behold,  I  am  gather- 
ing two  sticks,  that  I  may  go.  in 
and  dress  it  for  me  and  my  son, 
that  we  may  eat  it,  and  die. 

13  And  E-li'jah  said  unto  her, 
Fear  not;  go  and  do  as  thou 
hast  said :  but  make  me  thereof 
a  little  cake  first,  and  bring  it 


unto,  me,  and  after  make  for 
thee  and  for  thy  son, 

14  For  thus  sadth  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  The  barrel  of 
meal,  shall  not  waste,  neither 
shall  the  cruse  of  oil  fail,  until 
the  day  that  the  Lorr  sendeth 
rain  upon  the  earth. 

15  And  she  went  and  did  ac- 
cording to  the  saving  of  &li' 
jah :  and  she,  and  he,  and  her 
house,  did  eat  many  days. 

16  And  the  barrel  of  meal 
wasted  not,  neither  did  the 
cruse  of  oil  fail,  according  to 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  which 
he  spake  by  £-H'jah. 

17  UAnd  it  came  to  pass  after 
these  things,  that  the  son  of 
the  woman,  the  mistress  of  the 
house,  fell  sick;  and  his  sick- 
ness was  so  sore,  that  there 
was  no  breath  left  in  him. 

18  And  she  said  unto  fi-lf'jah, 
What  have  I  to  do  with  thee,  O 
thou  man.  of  God?  art  thou 
come  unto  me  to  call  my  sin  to 
remembrance,  and  to  slay  my 
son? 

19  And  he  said  unto  her.  Give 
me  thv  son.  And  he  took  him 
out  of  her  bosom,  and  carried 
him  up  into  a  loft,  where  he 
abode,  and  laid  him  upon  his 
own  bed. 

20  And  he  cried  unto  the 
Lord,  and  said,  0  Lord  my  God, 
hast  thou  also  brought  evil  up- 
on the  widow  with  whom  J  so- 
journ, by  slaying  her  son  ? 

21  And  he  stretched  himself 
upon  the  child,  three  times,  and 
cried  unto  the  Lord,  and  said, 
0  Lord  my  God,  I  pray  thee, 
let  this  child's  soul  come  into 
him  again. 

22  And  the  Lord  heard  the 
voice  of  &li'jah;  and  the  soul 
of  the  child  came  into  him 
again,  and  he  revived. 

23  And  £-irjah  took  the  child, 
and  brought  him  down  out  of 
the  chamber  into  the  house, 
and  delivered  him  unto  his 
mother:  and  £-li'jah  said,  See, 
thy  son  liveth. 

24  And  the  woman  said  to 
&-li'jah.  Now  by  this  I  know 
that  thou  art  a  man  of  God, 
and  that  the  word  of  the  Lord 
in  thy  mouth  is  truth.

AND  it  came  to  pass  after

thyself  unto  Ali&b;  and  I  will

2  And  £-H'jah  went  to  shew 
himself  unto  A'h&b.  And  there 
was  a  sore  famine  in  Sa-mfi'rM. 

3  And  A'h&b  called  O-ba-dTah, 
which  was  the  governor  of  his 
house.  (Now  O-ba-di'ah  feared 
the  Lord  greatly; 

4  For  it  was  so,  when  JeVet 
bel  cut  off  the  prophets  of  the 
Lord,  that  O-ba-di'ah  took  an 
hundred  prophets,  and  hid  them 
by  fifty  in  a  cave,  and  fed  them 
with  bread  and  water.) 

5  And  A'h&b  said  unto  O-ba- 
di'ah,  Go  into  the  land,  unto  all 
fountains  of  water,  and  unto  all 
brooks:  peradyenture  we  may 
find  grass  to  save  the  horses 
and  mules  alive,  that  we  lose 
not  all  the  beasts. 

6  So  they  divided  the  land  be- 
tween them  to  pass .  through- 
out it :  A'h&b  went  one  way  by 
himself,  and  O-ba-di'ah  went 
another  way  by  himself. 

7  ITAnd  as  O-ba-di'ah  was  in 
the  way,  behold,  E-H'jah  met 
him:  and  he  knew  him,  and 
fell  on  his  face,  and  said,.  Art 
thou  that  my  lord  fc-irjah? 

8  And  he  answered  him,  I  am  : 
go,  tell  thy  lord,  Behold,  £-lT- 
jah  is  here. 

9  And  he  said,  What  have  I 
sinned,  that  thou  wouldest  de- 
liver thy  servant  into  the  hand 
of  A'h&b,  to  slay  me  ? 

10  As  the  Lord  thy  God  liv- 
eth,  there  is  no  nation  or  king- 
dom* whjther.  my  lord  hath  not 
sent  to  seek  thee:  and  when 
they  said,  He  is  not  there,;  he 
took  an  oath  of  the  kingdom 
and  nation,  that  they  found 
thee  not,- ' 

11  And  now  thou  sayest,  Go, 
tell  thy  lord,  Behold,  £-li' jah  is 
here. 

12  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
as  soon  as  I  am  #  gone  from 
thee,  that  the  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  shall  carry  thee,  whither 
I  know  not;  and  so  when  J 
come  and .  tell  A'h&b,  and  he 
cannot  find  thee,  he  shall  slay 
me : ,  but  I  thy  servant  fear  the 
Lord  from  my  youth. . 

13  Was  it  not  told  my  lord 
what  I  did  when  J#e~b£l  slew 
the  prophets  of  the  Lord,  how 
I  hid  an  hun.dre4.men  of  the 
Lord's  prophets  by  fifty  in  a 
cave,  and  fed  them  with  bread 
and  water? 

14  And  now  thou  sayest.  Go, 
tell  thy  lord,  Behold,  £-H;jah  is 
here, :  and  he  shall  slay  me. 

15  And  £-li'jah  said,  As  the 
Lord  of  hosts  liveth,  before 
whom  1  stand,  I  will  surely  shew 
myself  unto  him  to  day. , 


16  So  O-ba-di'ah  went  to  meet 
A'h&b,  and  told  him :  and  A'h&b 
went  to  meet  fi-li'jah. 

17  1F And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
A'h&b  saw  £-li'jah,  that  A'h&b 
said  unto  him,  Art  thou  he 
that  troubleth  lgWl? 

IB  And  he  answered*  I  have 
not  troubled  lg'ra-el;  but  thou, 
and  thy  father's  house,  in  that 
ye  have  forsaken  the  command- 
ments of  the  Lord,  and  thou 
hast  followed  Ba'al-lm. 

19  Now  therefore  send,  and 
gather  to  me  all  Is/ra-el.  unto 
mount  CaYmel,  and  the  proph- 
ets of  B&'al  four  hundred  and 
fifty,  and  the  prophets  of  the 
groves  four  hundred,  which  eat 
at  Jez'e-beTs  table. 

20  So  A'h&b  sent  unto  all  the 
children  of  l§'ra-el,  and  gath- 
ered the  prophets  together,  un 
to  mount  Car'mel. . 

21  ITAnd  £-H'jah  came  unto 
all  the  people,  and  said,  How 
long  halt  ye  between  two-  opin- 
ions? if  the  Lord  ba  God, 
follow  Jrini :  but  if  B&'al,  then 
follow  him..  And  the  people 
answered  him  not  a  word. 

22  Then  said  £-li'jah  unto  the 
people,  1,  event  only,  remain  a 
prophet  of  the  Lo*d  ;  but  fla'al's 
prophets,  are  four  hundred  and 
fifty  men. 

,23  Let  them  therefore  give 
us  two  bullocks;  and  let  them 
choose  •  one  bullock  for  them- 
selves,,  and  cut  it  in  pieces,  and 
lay  it  on  wood,  and  put  no  fire 
under:  .and  I  will  dress  the 
other  bullock,  and  lay  it  on 
wood,  and  put  no  fire  under: 

24  And  call  ye  on  the  name 
of  your  .gods,  and  I  will  call  on 
the  name  of.  the  Lord  :',  and  the 
God  that  answereth  by  fire,  let 
him  be  God.  And  all  the. peo- 
ple answered  and  said,  It  is  well 
spoken.  • 

25  And  £-li'jah  said  unto  the 
prophets;  of  Ba'al,  Choose  you 
one  bullock  for  yourselves,  and 
dress  it  first ;  for  ye  are  many ; 
and  call  on  the  name  of  your 
gods,  but  put  no  fire  under. 

26  And  they  took  the.  bullock 
which  was  given  them,  and  they 
dressed  it%  and  called  on  the 
name  of  Ba'al, from  morning 
even  until  noon,  saying,.  OBi- 
al,  hear  us.  But  there  was  no 
voice,  nor  any  that  answered. 
And  they  leaped  upon  the.  altar 
which  was  made. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  at 
noon,  that  £-li'jah  mocked  them, 
and  said.  Cry  aloud :  for  he  is 
a  god ;  either  he  is  talking,  or 
he  is  pursuing,  or  he  is  in  a

28  And  they  cried  aloud,  and 
cut  themselves  after  their  man- 
ner with  knives  and  lancets, 
till  the  blood  gushed  out  upon 
them. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
midday  was  past,  and  they 
prophesied  until  the  time  of 
the  offering  of  the  evening  sac- 
rifice, that  there  was  neither 
voice,  nor  any  to  answer,  nor 
any  that  regarded. 

30  And  E-li'jah  said  unto  all 
the  people,  Come  near  unto  me. 
And  all  the  people  came  near 
unto  him.  And  he  repaired  the 
altar  of  the  Lord  that  woe 
broken  down. 

31  And  fcJi'jah  took  twelve 
stones,  according  to  the  number 
of  the  tribes  of  the  sons  of  JS'- 
cob,  unto  whom  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came,  saying,  Is/ra-el  shall 
be  thy  name : 

32  And  with  the  rstones  he 
built  an  altar  in  the  'name  of 
the  Lord  :  and  he  made  a  trench 
about  the  altar,  as  great  as  would 
contain  two  measures  of  seed. 

33  And  he  put  the  wood  in 
order,  and  cut  the  bullock  in 
pieces,  and  laid  him  on  the 
wood,  and  said,  Fill  four  bar- 
rels with  water,  and  pour  it  on 
the  burnt  sacrifice,  and  on  the 
wood. 

34  And  he  said,  Do  it  the  sec- 
ond time.  And  they  did  it  the 
second  time.  And  he  said,  Do 
it  the  third  time.  And  they  did 
it  the  third  time. 

35  And  the  water  ran  round 
about  the  altar;  and  he  filled 
the  trench  also  with  water. 

36  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
time  of  the  offering  of  the 
evening  sacrifice,  that  £-l!'jah 
the  prophet  came  near,  and 
said,  Lord  God  of  AT>rfi-ham, 
r»aac,  and  of  fe'ra-el,  let  it  be 
known  this  day  that  thou  art 
God  in  ts/ra-el,  and  that  I  am 
thy  servant,  and  that  I  have 
done  all  these  things  at  thy 
word. 

37  Hear  me,  0  Lord,  hear  me, 
that  this  people  may  know  that 
thou  art  the  Lord  God,  and 
that  thou  hast  turned  their 
heart  back  again. 

38  Then  the  fire  of  the  Lord 
fell,  and  consumed  the  burnt 
sacrifice,  and  the  wood,  and  the 
stones,  and  the  dust,  and  licked 
up  the  water  that  was  in  the 
trench. 

39  And  when  all  the  people 
saw  it,  they  fell  on  their  faces : 


the  God;  the  Lord,  he  is  the 
God. 

40  And  £-h"jah  said  unto  them, 
Take  the  prophets  of  Bft'al ;  let 
not  one  of  them  escape.  And 
they  took  them:  and  £4i'jah 
brought  them  down  to  the 
brook  KTshdn,  and  slew  them 
there. 

41  %  And  E-H'jah  said  unto 
Ali&b,  Get  thee  up,  eat  and 
drink;  for  there  is  a  sound  of 
abundance  of  rain. 

42  So  Aliab  went  up  to  eat  and 
to  drink.  And  fi-li'jah  went  up 
to  the  top  of  Car'mel;  and  he 
cast  himself  down  upon  the 
earth,  and  put  his  face  between 
his  knees, 

43  And  said  to  his  servant,  Go 
up  now,  look  toward  the  sea. 
And  he  went  up,  and  looked, 
and  said,  There  is  nothing. 
And  he  said,  Go  again  seven 
times. 

44  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
seventh  time,  that  he  said,  Be- 
hold, there  ariseth  a  little  cloud 
out  of  the  sea,  like  a  man's  hand. 
And  he  said,  Go  up,  say  unto 
Alifib,  Prepare  thy  chariot,  and 
get  thee  down,  that  the  rain  stop 
thee  not 

45  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
mean  while,  that  the  heaven  was 
black  with  clouds  and  wind,  and 
there  was  a  great  rain.  And 
ATifib  rode,  and  went  to  JeV- 
re-el. 

46  And  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
was  on  £-H'jah ;  and  he  girded 
up  his  loins,  and  ran  before 
ATiab  to  the  entrance  of  JeV- 
re-el. 

CHAPTER  19 

Elijah  floe*  to  Beer-eheba:  i  he  is 
comforted  by  an  angel.  9  Godeende

Etieha.    19  EUeha/eUovm  EUjah. 

AND  Alifib  told  JeVe-b*l  all 
that  fi-lfjah  had  done,  and 
withal  how  he  had  slain  all  the 
prophets  with  the  sword. 

2  Then  JeYe-bel  sent  a  mes- 
senger unto  fi-H'jah,  saying,  So 
let  the  gods  do  to  me,  and  more 
also,  if  I  make  not  thy  life  as 
the  life  of  one  of  them  by  to 
morrow  about  this  time. 

3  And  when  he  saw  that,  he 
arose,  and  went  for  his  life,  and 
came  to  Be'er-she'ba,  which  be- 
longeth  to  Jfi'dah,  and  left  his 
servant  there. 

4  If  But  he  Jiimself  went 
day's  journey  into  the  wilder- 
ness, and  came  and  sat  down 
under  a  juniper  tree:  and  he 
requested  for  himself  that  he 
might  die ;  and  said.  It  is  enough ;

5  And  as  he  lay  and  slept  un- 
der a  jnniper  tree,  behold,  then 
an  angel  touched  hhn,?and  said 
unto  him,  Arise  and  eat 

6  And  he  looked,  and,  behold, 
there  was  a  cake  baken  on  the 
coals,  and  a  cruse  of  water  at  his 
head.  And  he  did  eat  and  drink, 
and  laid  him  down  again. 

7  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
came  again  the  second  time,  and 
touched  him,  and  said,  Arise  and 
eat ;  because  the  journey  is  too 
great  for  thee. 

8  And  he  arose,  and  did  eat 
and  drink,  and  went  in  the 
strength  of  that  meat  forty 
days  and  forty  nights  unto 
H6'reb  the  mount  of  God. 

9  IT  And  he  came  thither  unto 
a  cave,  and  lodged  there;  and, 
behold,  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  him,  and  he  said  unto 
him,  What  doest  thouhere,  E4i'- 
jah? 

10  And  he  said,  I  have  been 
very  jealous  for  the  Lord  God 
of  hosts:  for  the  children  of 
la'ra-el  have  forsaken  thy  cove- 
nant, thrown  down  thine  altars, 
and  slain  thy  prophets  with  the 
sword;  and  I,  even  I  only,  am 
left;  and  they  seek  my  life,  to 
take  it  away. 

11  And  he  said,  Go  forth,  and 
stand  upon  the  mount  before 
the  Lord.  And,  behold,  the 
Lord  passed  by,  and  a  great 
and  strong  wind  rent  the  moun- 
tains, and  brake  in  pieces  the 
rocks  before  the  Lord;  but  the 
Lord  was  not  in  the  wind :  and 
after  the  wind  an  earthouake; 
but  the  Lord  was  not  m  the 
earthquake: 

12  And  after  the  earthquake  a 
fire;  but  the  Lord  was  not  in 
the  fire:  and  after  the  fire  a 
still  small  voice. 

13  And  it  was  so,  when  fi-lf- 
jah  heard  it,  that  he  wrapped 
his  face  in  his  mantle,  and 
went  out,  and  stood  in  the  en- 
tering in  of  the  cave.  And,  be- 
hold, there  came  a  voice  unto 
him,  and  said.  What  doest  thou 
here,  E-li'jah  ? 

14  And  he  said,  I  have  been 
very  jealous  for  the  Lord  God 
of  hosts:  because  the  children 
of  ts'ra-el  have  forsaken  thy 
covenant,  thrown  down  thine  al- 
tars, and  slain  thy  prophets  with 
the  sword ;  and  I,  even  I  only, 
am  left;  and  they  seek  my  life, 
to  take  it  away. 

15  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
him,  Go,  return  on  thy  way  to 
the  wilderness  of  Da-maYcus: 


and  when  thou  comest,  anoint 
HaVa-el  to  be  king  over  Syrf-a 

16  And  Jrha  the  son  of  NIm' 
shl  shalt  thou  anoint  to  be  king 
over  la'ra-el:  and  &li'sha  the 
son  of  Sh&'phat  of  Al>el-me> 
h6lah  shalt  thou  anoint  to  be 
prophet  in  thy  room. 

17  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  him  that  escapeth  the 
sword  of  HftVa-el  shall  JeTiu 
slay:  and  him  that  escapeth 
from  the  sword  of  JSlift  shall 
fi-11'sha  slay. 

18  Yet  I  have  left  me  seven 
thousand  in  ts'ra-el,  all  the 
knees  which  have  not  bowed 
unto  Bft'al,  and  every  mouth 
which  hath  not  kissed  him. 

19  IT  So  he  departed  thence, 
and  found^  &4f'sha  the  son  of 
Sha'phat,  who  was  plowing 
with  twelve  yoke  of  oxen  be- 
fore him,  and  he  with  the 
twelfth :  and  E-lfjah  passed  by 
him,  and  cast  his  mantle  upon 
him. 

20  And  he  left  the  oxen,  and 
ran  after  £-lf'jah,  and  said,  Let 
me,  I  pray  thee,  kiss  my  father 
and  my  mother,  and  then  I  will 
follow  thee.  And  he  said  unto 
him,  Go  back  again :  for  what 
have  I  done  to  thee? 

21  And  he  returned  back  from 
him,  and  took  a  yoke  of  oxen, 
and  slew  them,  and  boiled  their 
flesh  with  the  instruments  of 
the  oxen,  and  gave  unto  the 
people,  and  they  did  eat  Then 
he  arose,  and  went  after  £4i'- 
jah,  and  ministered  unto  him.

vex,  and   thy  gold,   and   thy 
wives,  and  thy  children; 

6  Yet  I  will  send  my  servants 
unto  thee  to  morrow  about  this 
time,  and  they  shall  search  thine 
house,  and  the  houses  of  thy 
servants;  and  it  shall  be,  that 
whatsoever  is  pleasant  in  thine 
eyes,  they  shall  put  it  in  their 
hand,  and  take  it  away. 

7  Then  the  king  of  Is/ra-el 
called  all  the  elders  of  the  land, 
and  said,  Mark,  I  pray  you,  and 
see  how  this  man  seeketh  mis- 
chief :  for  he  sent  unto  me  for 
my  wives,  and  for  my  children, 
and  for  my  silver,  and  for  my 
gold;  and  I  denied  him  not 

8  And  all  the  elders  and  all  the 
people  said  unto  him,  Hearken 
not  unto  him,  nor  consent. 

9  Wherefore  he  said  unto  the 
messengers  of  Ben-hS'd&d,  Tell 
my  lord  the  king,  All  that  thou 
didst  send  for  to  thy  servant  at 
the  first  I  will  do :  but  this  thing 
I  may  not  do.  And  the  messen 
gers  departed,  and  brought  him 
word  again. 

10  And  Ben-ha'd&d  sent  unto 
him,  and  said,  The  gods  do  so 
unto  me,  and  more  also,  if  the 
dust  of  SaVm&'ri-a  shall  suffice 
for  handfuls  for  all  the  people 
that  follow  me. 

11  And  the  king  of  Is/ra-el 
answered  and  said*  Tell  him, 
Let  not  him  that  jrirdeth  on 
his  harness  boast  himself  as 
he  that  putteth  it  off. 

12  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Ben-ha'dad  heard  this  mes- 
sage, as  he  was  drinking,  he 
and  the  kings  in  the  pavilions, 
that  he  said  unto  his  servants, 
Set  yourselves  in  array.  And 
they  set  themselves  in  array 
against  the  city. 

13  %  And,  behold,  there  came 
a  prophet  unto  ATiftb  king  of 
Is/ra-e\  saying,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Hast  thou  seen  all  this 
great  multitude?  behold,  I  will 
deliver  it  into  thine  hand  this 
day ;  and  thou  shalt  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord. 

14  And  Aliib  said,  By  whom  ? 
And  he  said,,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Even  by  the  young  men 
of  the  princes  of  the  provinces. 
Then  he  said,  Who  shall  order 
the  battle  ?  And  he  answered, 
Thou. 

15  Then  he  numbered  the 
young  men  of  the  princes  of 
the  provinces,  and  they  were 
two  hundred  and  thirty  two : 
and  after  them  he  numbered 
all  the  people,  even,  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Is/ra-el,  being  seven 
thousand. 


16  And  they  went  out  at  noon. 
But  Ben-hS  dad  was  drinking 
himself  drunk  in  the  pavilions, 
he  and  the  kings,  the  thirty  and 
two  kings  that  helped  him. 

17  And  the  young  men  of  the 
princes  of  the  provinces  went 
out  first;  and  Ben-h&'d&d  sent 
out,  and  they  told  him,  saying, 
There  are  men  come  out  of  S&- 
m&'ri-a. 

18  And  he  said.  Whether  they 
be  come  out  for  peace,  take 
them  alive;  or  whether  they 
be  come  out  for  war,  take  them 
alive. 

19  So  these  young  men  of  the 
princes  of  the  provinces  came 
out  of  the  citv,  and  the  army 
which  followed  them. 

20  And  they  slew  every  one 
hi8man:  and  the  Sfrl-ans  fled; 
and  Is/ra-el  pursued  them :  and 
Ben-hfi'dad  the  king  of  Syrl-a 
escaped  on  an  horse  with  the 
horsemen. 

21  And  the  king  of  ls/ra-el 
went  out,  and  smote  the  horses 
and  chariots*  and  slew  the  Sjfr'- 
1-ans  with  a  great  slaughter. 

22  IT  And  the  prophet  came  to 
the  king  of  ls/ra-el,  and  said  un- 
to him,  Go,  strengthen  thyself, 
and  mark,  and  see  what, thou 
doest:  for  at  the  return  of  the 
year  the  king  of  Syrl-a  will 
come  up  against  thee. 

23  And  the  servants  of  the 
king  of  Syrf-a  said  unto  him, 
Their  gods  are  gods  of  the  hills ; 
therefore  they  were  stronger 
than  we ;  but  let  us  fight  against 
them  in  the  plain,  and  surely  we 
shall  be  stronger  than  they. 

24  And  do  this  thing,  Take 
the  kings  away,  every  man  out 
of  his  place,  and  put  captains 
in  their  rooms: 

25  And  number  thee  an  army, 
like  the  army  that  thou  hast  lost, 
horse  for  horse,  and  chariot  for 
chariot:  and  we  will  fight 
against  them  in  the  plain,  and 
surely  we  shall  be  stronger  than 
they.  And  he  hearkened  unto 
then*  voice,  and  did  so. 

26  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
return  of  the  year,  that  Ben- 
ha'dad  numbered  the  Syrf-ant, 
and  went  up  to  A'phek,  to  fight 
against  Ig'ra-el. 

27  And  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
were  numbered,  and  were  all 
present,  and  went  against  them 
and   the   children   of    Is/ra-el 

{>itched  before  them  like  two 
ittle  flocks  of  kids;  but  the 
Syrf-ans  filled  the  country. 

28  f  And  there  came  a  man  of 
God,  and  spake  unto  the  king  of 
Is/ra-el,  and  said,  Thus  saith  the

Lord,  Because  the  Syrf-ang 
have  said,  The  Lord  is  God  of 
the  hills,  but  he  is  not  God  of 
the  valleys,  therefore  will  I  de- 
liver all  this  great  multitude 
into  thine  hand,  and  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

29  And  they  pitched  one  over 
against  the  other  seven  days. 
And  so  it  was,  that  in  the 
seventh  day  the  battle  was 
joined:  and  the  children  of  Is/- 
ra-el  slew  of  the  Syrf-anS  an 
hundred  thousand  footmen  in 
one  day. 

30  But  the  rest  fled  to  A'phek, 
into  the  city;  and  there  a  wall 
fell  upon  twenty  and  seven 
thousand  of  the  men  that  were 
left  And  Ben-ha"d*d  fled,  and 
came  into  the  city,  into  an  in- 
ner chamber. 

31  f  And  his  servants  said  un- 
to him,  Behold  now,  we  have 
heard  that  the  kings  of  the 
house  of  lg'ra-el  are  merciful 
kings :  let  us,  I  pray  thee,  put 
sackcloth  on  our  loins,  and 
ropes  upon  our  heads,  and  go 
out  to  the  king  of  Is/ra-el: 
peradventure  he  will  save  thy 
life. 

32  So  they  girded  sackcloth  on 
their  loins,  and  put  ropes  on 
their  heads,  and  came  to  the 
king  of  Is/ra-el,  and  said,  Thy 
servant  Bgn-h&'dftd  saith,  I 
pray  thee,  let  me  live.  And  he 
said,  is  he  yet  alive?  he  is  my 
brother. 

33  Now  the  men  did  diligently 
observe  whether  any  thing 
would  come  from  him,  and  did 
hastily  catch  it:  and  they  said, 
Thy  brother  BSn-hi'dad.  Then 
he  said,  Go  ye,  bring  him. 
Then  Ben-ha'd&d  came  forth 
to  him;  and  he  caused  him  to 
come  up  into  the  chariot 

34  And  Ben~ha'dad  said  unto 
him,The  cities,  which  my  father 
took  from  thy  father,  I  will  re- 
store; and  thou  shalt  make 
streets  for  thee  in  Da^mfls'cus, 
as  my  father  made  in  S&mS'rl-a. 
Then  said  A'hab,  I  will  send 
thee  away  with  this  covenant 
So  he  made  a  covenant  with 
him,  and  sent  him  away. 

35  f  And  a  certain  man  of  the 
sons  of  the  prophets  said  unto 
his  neighbour  in  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  Smite  me,  I  pray 
thee.  And  the  man  refused  to 
smite  him. 

36  Then  said  he  unto  him,  Be- 
cause thou  hast  not  obeyed  the 
voice  of  the  Lord,  behofd,  as 
soon  as  thou  art  departed  from 


him,  a  lion  found  him,  and  slew 
him. 

37  Then  he  found  another 
man,  and  said,  Smite  me,  I  pray 
thee.  And  the  man  smote  him, 
so  that  in  smiting  he  wounded 
him. 

38  So  the  prophet  departed, 
and  waited  for  the  king  by  the 
way,  and  disguised  himself  with 
ashes  upon  his  face. 

39  And  as  the  kino;  passed  by, 
he  cried  unto  the  king:  and  he 
said,  Thy  servant  went  out  into 
the  midst  of  the  battle ;  and,  be- 
hold, a  man  turned  aside,  and 
brought  a  man  unto  me,  and 
said.  Keep  this  man:  if  by  any 
means  he  be  missing,  then  shall 
thy  life  be  for  his  life,  or  else 
thou  shalt  pay  a  talent  of  silver. 

40  And  as  thy  servant  was 
busy  here  and  there,  he  was 
gone.  And  the  king  of  ls/ra-el 
said  unto  him,  So  shall  thy 
judgment  be ;  thyself  hast  de- 
cided it. 

41  And  he  hasted,  and  took 
the  ashes  away  from  his  face ; 
and  the  king  of  Is/ra-el  dis- 
cerned him  that  he  was  6t  the 
prophets. 

42  And  he  said  unto  him, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Because 
thou  hast  let  go  out  of  thy 
hand  a  man  whom  I  appointed 
to  utter  destruction,  therefore 
thy  life  shall  go  for  his  life, 
and  thy  people  for  his  people. 

43  And  the  king  of  Is  ra-el 
went  to  his  house  heavy  and 
displeased,  and  came  to  SB-ma'- 
rM.

Jetebel  causes  Naboth  to  be  Honed 
17    Elijah    denounces   judgments 
against  Ahab  and  Jezebel,  etc. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after 
these  things,  that  Nffhoth 
the  JeVre-el-Ite  had  a  vineyard, 
which  was  in  JeVre-el,  hard  by 
the  palace  of  A'hab  king  of  Sa> 
m&'ri-a. 

2  And  A'hab  spake  unto  N&'» 
both,  saying,  Give  me  thy  vine- 
yard, that  I  may  have  it  for  a 
garden  of  herbs,  because  it  is 
near  unto  my  house :  and  I  will 
give  thee  for  it  a  better  vine- 
yard than  it;  or,  if  it  seem 
good  to  thee,  I  will  give  thee 
the  worth  of  it  in  money. 

3  And  Nattith  said  to  A'hab, 
The  Lord  forbid  it  me,  that  I 
should  give  the  inheritance  of 
my  fathers  unto  thee.

laid  him  down  upon  his  bed, 
and  turned  away  bis  face,  and 
would  eat  no  bread. 

5  ITBut  JeYe-bel  his  wife  came 
to  him,  and  said  unto  him,  Why 
is  thy  spirit  so  sad,  that  thou 
eatest  no  bread? 

6  And  he  said  unto  her,  Be- 
cause I  spake  unto  Niltith  the 
Je^re-el-ite,  and  said  unto  him, 
Give  me  thy  vineyard  for 
money;  or  else,  if  it  please 
thee,  I  will  give  thee  another 
vineyard  for  it:  and  he  an- 
swered, I  will  not  give  thee  my 
vineyard. 

7  And  JeYe-bel  his  wife  said 
unto  him,  Dost  thou  now  govern 
the  kingdom  of  lg'ra-el?  arise, 
and  eat  bread,  and  let  thine 
heart  be  merry :  I  will  give  thee 
the  vineyard:  of  Nfilrith  the 
J&'re-el-ite. 

8  So  she  wrote  letters  in 
A'hSb's  name,  and  sealed  them 
with  his  seal,  and  sent  the  let- 
ters unto  the  elders  and  to  the 
nobles  that  were  in  his  city, 
dwelling  with  Ntftith. 

9  And  she  wrote  in  the  letters, 
saying,  Proclaim  a  fast,  and  set 
Naltith  on  high  among  the 
people: 

10  And  set  two  men,  sons  of 
B£ll-al,  before  him,  to  bear 
witness  against  him,  saving, 
Thou  didst  blaspheme  God  and 
the  king.  And  then  carry  him 
out,  and  stone  him,  that  he 
may  die. 

11  And  the  men  of  his  city, 
even  the  elders  and  the  nobles 
who  were  the  inhabitants  in 
his  city,  did  as  JeVe-bel  had 
sent  unto  them,  and  as  it  was 
written  in  the  letters  which  she 
had  sent  unto  them. 

12  They  proclaimed  a  fast, 
and  set  Nfi'Wth  on  high  among 
the  people. 

13  And  there  came  in  two 
men,  children  of  Beli-al,  and 
sat  before  him :  and  the  men  of 
Beli-al  witnessed  against  him, 
even  against  Naltith,  in  the 

Presence  of  the  people,  saying, 
raltfth  did  blaspheme  God  and 
the  king.  Then  they  carried 
him  forth  out  of  the  city,  and 
stoned  him  with  stones,  that  he 
died. 

14  Then  they  sent  to  JeVe-bel, 
saying,  Niltfth  is  stoned,  and 
is  dead. 

15  IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
JeVobel  heard  that  Na'bdth  was 
stoned,  and  was  dead,  that  Jez'e- 
bel  said  to  A1i$b,  Arise,  take 
possession  of  the  vineyard  of 


Na'bdth  the  JeVre-el-ite,  which 
he  refused  to  give  thee  for 
money :  for  Na'bdth  is  not  alive, 
but  dead. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
ATiSb  heard  that  Naltith  was 
dead,  that  ATiSb  rose  up  to  go 
down  to  the  vineyard  of  Na'- 
bdth  the  JeVre-eMte,  to  take 
possession  of  it 

17  ITAnd  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  £-li'jah  the  TfehTrite, 
saying, 

18  Arise,  go  down  to  meet 
ATi&b  king  of  Ig'ra-el,  which  is 
in  Sa-ma'ri-a:  behold,  he  is  in 
the  vineyard  of  Naltith,  whith- 
er he  is  gone  down  to  possess 
it 

19  And  thou  shalt  speak  unto 
him,  saying.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Hast  thou  killed,  and  also 
taken  possession?  And  thou 
shalt  speak  unto  him,  saying, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  In  the 
place  where  dogs  licked  the 
blood  of  Naltith  shall  dogs  lick 
thy  blood,  even  thine. 

20  And  A-hab  said  to  £-li'jah. 
Hast  thou  found  me,  0  mine 
enemy?  And  he  answered,  I 
have  found  thee :  because  thou 
hast  sold  thyself  to  work  evil 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord. 

21  Behold,  I  will  bring  evil 
upon  thee,  and  will  take  away 
thy  posterity,  and  will  cut  off 
from  A*hab  him  that  pisseth 
against  the  wall,  and  him  that 
is  shut  up  and  left  in  Ig'ra-el, 

22  And  will  make  thine  house 
like  the  house  of  Jer-o-lti'am 
the  son  of  Nel>at,  and  like  the 
house  of  Ba'a-sha  the  son  of 
A-hi'jah,  for  the  provocation 
wherewith  thou  hast  provoked 
me  to  anger,  and  made  la'ra-el 
to  sin. 

23  And  of  J&'e-bel  also  spake 
the  Lord,  saying,  The  dogs 
shall  eat  JeVe-ttil  by  the  wall 
of  JeYre-el. 

24  Him  that  dieth  of  Alifib  in 
the  city  the  dogs  shall  eat;  and 
him  that  dieth  in  the  field  shall 
the  f  owls  of  the  air  eat 

25  But  there  was  none  like 
unto  Ali&b,  which  did  sell  him- 
self to  work  wickedness  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  whom  JeVe- 
bel  his  wife  stirred  up.  * 

26  And  he.  did  very  abomin 
ably  in  following  idols,  accord 
ing  to  all  thing*  as  did  the 
Am'dr-ites,  whom  the  Lord  cast 
out  before  the  children  of  Ig'- 
ra-el.. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
A*hab  heard  those  words,  that 
he  rent  his  clothes,  and  put 
sackcloth  upon  his  flesh,  and

went  softly. 

28  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  Eli'jah  the  TishTrite, 
saying, 

29,  Seest  thou  how  Allah 
humhleth  himself  before  me? 
because  he  humbleth  himself 
before  me,  I  will  not  bring  the 
evil  in  his  days :  but  in  his  son's 
days  will  I  bring  the  evil  upon 
his  house. 

CHAPTER  22 

Ahab  slain  at  Ramoth-aiUad.  37 
Ahaxiah  succeeds  him.  i\Jehosha» 
phot's  good  reign  over  Jttdah.  51 
Ahaziah's  evil  reign  over  Israel* 

AND    they  continued  three 
years    without    war    be- 
tween Syrf-d  and  Is/ra-eL 

2  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
third  year,  that  J£-n5sh'a4>h«t 
the  kino;  of  Ju'dah  came  down 
to  the  king  of  Is/ra-eL 

3  And  the  king  of  Is/ra-el  said 
unto  his  servants,  Know  ye  that 
Ra'moth  in  Gil'e-ad  is  ours,  and 
we  be  still,  and  take  it  not  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  king  of  Syrl-a? 

4  And  he  said  unto  JS-h&sh'a- 
ph&t,  Wilt  thou  go  with  me  to 
battle  to  Ra'moth-tffl'e-fid  ?  And 
J&-h5sh'a-ph&t  said  to  the  king 
of  Is/ra-el,  I  am  as  thou  art,  my 
people  as  thy  people,  my  horses 
as  thy  horses.  ^ 

5  t  And  Je-hosh'a-phfit  said 
unto  the  king  of  Igra-el,  En- 
quire, I  pray  thee,  at  the  word 
of  the  Lord  to  day. 

6  Then  the  king  of  Is/ra-el 
gathered  the  prophets  together, 
about  four  hundred  men,  and 
said  unto  them,  Shall  I  go 
against  Ra'moth-gire-fid  to  bat- 
tle, or  shall  I  forbear?  And 
they  saicl.  Go  up;  for  the  Lord 
shall  deliver  it  into  the  hand 
of  the  king. 

7  And  J£-hdsh'a-phfit  said,  is 
there  not  here  a  prophet  of  the 
Lord  besides,  that  we  might  en- 
quire of  him? 

8  And  the  king  of  lg'ra-el  said 
unto  Jevhdsh'a-phat,  There  is 
yet  one  man,  Mi-ca'iah  the  son 
of  !m1ah,  by  whom  we  may  en- 

2 aire  of  the  Lord:  but  I  hate 
im ;  for  he  doth  not  prophesy 
concerning  me>  out  evil, 
nd   Je-h6sh'a-phat   said,   Let 
not  the  king  say  so. 

9  Then  the  king  of.  Is/ra-el 
called  an  officer,  and  said,  Hast- 
en hither  Mi-ca'iah  the  son  of 
lmlah. 

10  And  the  king  of  Is/ra-el 
and  J£-h5sh'a-phfit  the  king  of 
Ju'dah  sat  each  on  his  throne, 
having  put  on  their  robes,  in  a 
void  place  in  the  entrance  of 


the  gate  of  Sa-ma'ri-a;  and  all 
the  prophets  prophesied  before 
them. 

11  And  Z&U-ki'ah  the  son  of 
Ch*-na'a-nah  made  him  horns 
of  iron :  and  he  said,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  With  these  shalt 
thou  push  the  Syrl-ana,  until 
thou  have  consumed  them. 

12  And  all  the  prophets  proph- 
esied so,  saying,  Go  up  to  Ka'- 
moth-gil'e-ftd,  and  prosper :  for 
the  Lord  shall  deliver  it  into 
the  king's  hand. 

13  And  the  messenger  that 
was  gone  to  call  Mi-ca'iah  spake 
unto  him,  saying,  Behold  now, 
the  words  of  the  prophets  de- 
clare good  unto  the  king  with 
one  mouth:  let  thy  word,  I 
pray  thee,  be  like  the  word  of 
one  of  them,  and  speak  that 
which  is  good. 

14  And  Mi-ca'iah  said,  As  the 
Lord  liveth,  what  the  Lord 
saith  unto  me,  that  will 
speak. 

15  So  he  came  to  the  king. 
And  the  king  said  unto  him, 
Mi-ca'iah,  shall  we  go  against 
Ra  moth-fire-ad  to  battle,  or 
shall  we  forbear?  And  he  an 
swered  him.  Go,  and  prosper: 
for  the  Lord  shall  deliver  it 
into  the  hand  of  the  king. 

16  And  the  king  said  unto  him, 
How  many  times  shall  I  adjure 
thee  that  thou  tell  me  nothing 
but  that  which  is  true  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord? 

17  And  he  said,  I  saw  all  Is/- 
ra-el  scattered  upon  the  hills, 
as  sheep  that  have  not  a  shep- 
herd: and  the  Lord  said,  These 
have  no  master:  let  them  re- 
turn every  man  to  his  house  in 
peace. 

18  And  the  king  of  Is/ra-el  said 
unto  Je^hosh'a-ph&t,  Did  I  not 
tell  thee  that  he  would  proph- 
esy no  good  concerning  me,  but 
evil? 

19  And  he  said,  Hear  thou 
therefore  the  word  of  the  Lord 
I  saw  the  Lord  sitting  on  his 
throne,  and  ail  the  host  of  heav- 
en standing  by  him  on  his  right 
hand  and  on  his  left 

20  And  the  Lord  said.  Who 
shall  persuade  Aliab,  that  he 
may  go  up  and  fall  at  Ra'moth- 
gil  e-fid?  And  one  said  on  this 
manner,  and  another  said  on 
that  manner. 

21  And  there .  came  forth  a 
spirit,  and  stood  before  the 
Lord,  and  said,  I  will  persuade 
him. 

22  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
him,  Wherewith  ?  And  he  said, 
I  will  go  forth,  and  1  will  be  a

luring- spirit  in  the -mouth  of  all 
his  prophets.  And  he  said,  Thou 
shaft  persuade  him,  and  prevail 
also:  go  forth,  and  do  so. 

23  Now  therefore,  behold,  the 
Lord  hath  put  a  lying  spirit 
in  the  mouth  of  all  these  thy 
prophets,  and  the  Lord  hath 
spoken  evil  concerning  thee. 

24  t  But  ZedVe-ki'ah  the  son 
of  ChS-nfl'a-nah  went  near,  and 
smote  Mi-caTiah  on  the  cheek, 
and  said,  Which  way  went  the 
Spirit  of  the  Lord  from  me  to 
speak  unto  thee? 

25  And  Mi-cfi'iah  said,  Behold, 
thou  shah  see  in  that  day,  when 
thou  shah  go  Into  an  inner 
chamber  to  hide  thyself. 

26  And  the  king  of  Is/ra-el 
said,  Take  Mi-cfilan,  and  carry 
him  hack  unto  A'm5n  the  gov- 
ernor of  the  city,  and  to  J6*ash 
the  king's  son ; 

27  And  say,  Thus  saith  the 
king,  Put  this  fellow  in  the 
prison,  and  feed  him  with  bread 
of  affliction  and  with  water  of 
affliction,  until  I  come  in  peace. 

28  And  Mi-cfi'iah  said,  If  thou 
return  at  all  in  peace,  the  Lord 
hath  not  spoken  by  me.  And  he 
said,  Hearken,  O  people,  every 
one  of  you. . 

29  So  the    king    of    Is'ra-el 
and  J5-hosh'a-phat  the  king'  of 
Jii'dah  went  up  to  Rfi'moth 
gfl'e-fid. 

30  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said 
unto  JS-hSsh'a-phat,  I  will  dis- 
guise myself,  and  enter  into 
the  battle ;  but  put  thou  on  thy 
robes.  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el 
disguised  himself,  and  went  in- 
to the  battle. 

31  But  the  king  of  S^fl-a  com- 


chariots,  saying,  Fight  neither 
with  small  nor  great,  save  only 
with  the  king  of  Is'ra-el. 

32  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  captains  of  the  chariots  saw 
J§-hSsh'a-phat,  that  they  said, 
Surely  it  xs  the  king  of  Is'ra-el. 
And  they  turned  aside  to  fight 
against  him :  and  JS-hdsh'a-ph&t 
cried  out. 

33  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  captains  of  the  chariots'  per- 
ceived ttiat  it  Was  not  the  king 
of  ls/ra-el,  that  they  turned  back 
from ipursuing  him. 

34  if  And  a  certain  man  drew 
a  bow  at  a  venture,  and  smote 
the  king  of  Is'ra-el  between  the 
joints  of  the  harness:  where- 
fore he  said  unto  the  driver  of 
his  chariot.  Turn  thine  hand, 
and  carry' me  out  of  the  host; 
for  I  am  wounded. 


35  And  the  battle  increased 
that  day :  and  the  king  was 
stayed  up  in  his  chariot  against 
the  S^rf-ans,  and  died  at  even : 
and  the  blood  ran  out  of  the 
wound  into'  the  midst  of  the 
chariot 

36  And  there  went  a  proclama- 
tion throughout  the  host  about 
the  going  down  of  the  sun,  say- 
ing, Every  man  to  his  city,  and 
every  man  to  his  own  country. 

37  So  the  king  died,  and  was 
brought  to  Sa-ma'ri-a ;  and  they 
buried  the  king  in  S&-m2'ri-a. 

38  And  one  washed  the  chariot 
in  the  pool  of  Sa'-m&'rl-a;  and 
the  dogs  licked  up  his  blood; 
and  they  washed  his  armour; 
according  unto  the  word  of  the 
Lord  which  he  spake. 

39  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
A'hab,  and  all  that  he  did,  and 
the  ivory  house  which  he  made, 
and  all  the  dries  that  he  built, 
are  they  not  written  in  the 
book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Is'ra-el? 

40  So  A'hab  slept  with  his  fa- 
thers; and  A-ha-zi'ah  his  son 
reigtred  in  his  stead. 

41  IT  And  J£-hdsh'a-phat  the 
son  of  A'sa  began  to  reign  over 
Jii'dah  in  the  fourth  year  of 
A'hab  king  of  Ig'ra-eL 

4*  Je^hdsh'a-phfit  was  thirty 
and  five  years  old  when  he  be- 
gan to  reign;  and  he  reigned 
twenty  and  five  years  in  J&m'* 
s&-l£m.  And  his  mother's  name 
was  A-ztfbah  the  daughter  of 
Shfllrl. 

43  And  he  walked  in  all  the 
ways  of  A'sa  his  father;  he 
turned  not  aside  from  it,  doing 
that  which  was  right  in  the 


manded  his  thirty  and  two  cap-  eyes  of  the  Lord:  nevertheless 
tains  that' had  rule  over  his  the  high  places  were  not  taken 


away ;  for  the  people  offered 
and  burnt  incense  yet  in  the 
high  places. 

44  And  JS-hdsh'a-phfit  made 
peace  with  the  king  of  Is'ra-el. 

45  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
JS-h6sh'a-phSt,  and  his  might 
that  he  shewed,  and  how  Tie 
warred,  are  they  not  written 
in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of 
thekinesof  Jfi'dah? 

46  And  the  remnant  of  the 
sodomites,  which  remained  in 
the  days  of  his  father  A'sa.  he 
took  out  of  the  land. 

47  There  was  then  nb  king  in 
Cdom :  a  deputy  was  king. 

48  JS-hdsh'a-phfit  made  ships 
of  Thar^hish  to  go  to  (yphir 
for  gold:  but  they  went  not; 
for  the  ships  were  broken  at 
fc'zi-onHjrbe'r. 

49  Then  said  A'ha-cfah   the

CHAPTER  1 

Elijah  brings  fire  Jrom  heaven  on 
Ahcuiah'a  messengers. 

rTlHEN  MCab  rebelled  against 
X  Xs/ra-el  after  the  death  of 
Allah. 

2  And  A-ha-zi'ah  fell  down 
through  a  lattice  in  his  upper 
chamber  that  was  in  Sa-ma  ri-a, 
and  was  sick:  and  he. sent  mes- 
sengers, and  said  unto  them, 
Go,  enquire  of  Ba'al-zet>u)>  the 
god  of  fik'rdn  whether  I  shall 
recover  of  this  disease* 

3  But  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  to  fi-li'jah  the  TishTrite, 
Arise,  go  up  to  meet  the  mes- 
sengers, of  the  king. of  Sa-raa'- 
ri-a,  and  say  unto  them,  Is  it  not 
because  there  is  not  .a  God  in 
Is/ratel,  that  ye  go  to  enquire  of 
Ba'ai-zel>nb  the  god  of  Ek'rdn  ? 

4  Now  therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Thou  shalt  not  come 
down  from  that  bed  on  which 
thou  art  gone  up,  but  shalt 
surely  die.  And  E-li'jah  de- 
parted 

5  IT  And  when  the  messengers 
turned  back  unto  him,  he  said 
unto  them,  Why  are  ye  now 
turned  back? 

6  And  they  said  unto  him. 
There  came  a  man  up  to  meet 
us,  and  said  unto  us,  Go,  turn 
again  unto  the  king  that  sent 
you,  and  say  unto  him,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,, Is  it  not  be- 
cause there  is  not  a  God  in 
la'ra-el,  that  thou  sendest  to 
enauire  of  Bfi'al-ze'bub  the  god 
of  ftk'rSn  ?  therefore  thou  shalt 
not  come  down  from  that  bed 
on  which  thou  art  gone  up,  but 
shalt  surely  die.    . , 


7  And  he  said  unto  them, 
What  manner  of  man  was  he 
which  came  up  tp  meet  you, 
and  told  you  these  words  ( 

8  And  they  answered  him. 
He  was  an  hairy  man,  and  girt 
with  a  girdle  of  leather  about 
his  loins.  .  And  he  said,  It  is 
E^nah  the  TishVite.   .  , 

9  Then  the  king  sent  unto 
him  a  captain  of .  fifty  with  his 
fif tv.  •  And  he  went  up  to  him : 
and,  behold,  he  sat  on  the  top 
of  an  hill.  And  he  spake  unto 
him,  Thou  man  of  God,  the  king 
hath  said*  Come  down. 

10  And  ;fi-li'jab  answered  and 
said  to, the  captain  of  fifty,  If  J 
be  a  man.  of  God,  then  let  fire 
come  down  from  heaven*  and 
consume  thee  anil  thy  .fifty. 
And  there,  came  down  fire  from 
heaven,  and  consumed  hjm  and 
his  fifty.     ,  i. 

11  Again  also ,  he  sent  unto 
him  another  captain  of  fifty 
with  his  fifty.'  And  he  an- 
swered and  said  unto  him,  0 
man  of  God,  thus  hath  the  king 
said*  Come  down  quickly. 

12  And  £4i'jah,  answered  and 
said  unto  them,  If  I  be  a  man  of 
God,  let  fire  come  down  from 
heaven,  and  consume  thee  and 
thy  fifty.  And  the  fire  of  God 
came  down  from  heaven,  and 
consumed  him  and  hia  fifty. 

13  And  he  sent  again  a  cap- 
tain of  the  tjurd  fifjy  with  his 
fifty.  And  the  .third  captain 
of  fifty  went  up,  and  came  ana 
fell  on  his  knees  before  £-li'jah, 
and  besought  him,  and  said  unto

fifty  thy  servants,  be  precious 
in  thy  sight 

14  Behold,  there  came  fire 
down  from  heaven,  and  burnt 
up  the  two  captains  of  the 
former  fifties  with  their  fif- 
ties :  therefore  let  my  life  now 
be  precious  in  thy  sight 

15  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  E-li'jah,  Go  down  with 
him :  be  not  afraid  of  him.  And 
he  arose,  and  went  down  with 
him  unto  the  king. 

16  And  he  said  unto  him,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  Forasmuch  as 
thou  hast  sent  messengers  to 
enquire  of  Ba'al-xe"bfib  the  god 
of  Ek'rdn,  is  it  not  because 
there  is  no  God  in  Is/ra-el  to 
enquire  of  his  word  ?  therefore 
thou  shalt  not  come  down  off 
that  bed  on  which  thou  art  gone 
up,  but  shalt  surety  die. 

17  11  So  he  died  according  to 
the  word  of  the  Lord  which 
fi-li'jah  had  spoken.  And  J6- 
hd'ram  reigned  in  bis  stead  in 
the  second  year  of  JSJid'ram 
the  son  of  JS-h5sh'a-phfit  king 
of  JQ'dah ;  because  he  had  no 
son. 

18  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
A-ha-zi'ah  which  he  did,  are  they 
not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ig'- 
ra-el? 

CHAtvTER2 

Elijah   divide*   Jordan:   11  he  is 

taken  up  to  heaven  in  a  chariot  of 

fire.    14    Elieha  divides  Jordan; 

19  he  heal*  the  watere.    23  Chil- 
dren mock  EZieha,  etc 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  Lord  would  take  up 
&-l!'jah  into  heaven  by  a  whirl- 
wind, that  £-lf'jah  went  with 
E-li'sha  from  Gil  gal. 

2  And  £-li'jah  said  unto  fi-lf- 
sha,  Tarry  here,  I  pray  thee ;  for 
the  Lord  hath  sent  me  to  Be'th'- 
eL  And  E-li'sha  said  unto  him, 
As  the  Lord  liveth,  and  as  thy 
soul  liveth,  I  will  not  leave  thee. 
So  they  went  down  to  Beth'-el, 

3  And  the  sons  of  the  prophets 
that  were  at  BSth'-el  came  forth 
to  fi-li'sha,  and  said  unto  him, 
Knowest  thou  that  the  Lord  will 
take  away  thy  master  from  thy 
head  to  day?  And  he  said,  Yea, 
I  know  it ;  hold  ye  your  peace. 

4  And  £-lf'jah  said  unto  him, 
E-li'sha,  tarry  here,  I  pray  thee ; 
for  the  Lord  hath  sent  me  to 
JeVi-ch5.  And  he  said,  As  the 
Lord  liveth,  and  as  thy  soul 
Ifveth,  I  will  not  leave  thee. 
So  they  came  to  JeVi-chd. 

5  And  the  sons  of  the  proph- 
ets that  were  at  JgrT-cha  came 
to  fi-H'sha,  and  said  unto  him, 
Knowest.  thou  that  the  Lord 


will  take  away  thy  master  from 
thy  head  to  dayf  And  he  an- 
swered, Yea,  I  know  it ;  hold  ye 
your  peace. 

6  And  £-li'jah  said  unto  him, 
Tarry,  I  pray  thee,  here;  for 
the  Lord  hath  sent  me  to  J6Y- 
dan.  And  he  said,  As  the  Lord 
liveth,  and  as  thy  soul  liveth,  I 
will  not  leave  thee.  And  they 
two  went  on. 

7  And  fifty  men  of  the  sons  of 
the  prophets  went,  and  stood  to 
view  afar  off:  and  they  two 
stood  by  JdVdan. 

8  And  E-H'jah  took  his  mantle, 
and  wrapped  it  together,  and 
smote  the  waters,  and  they 
were  divided  hither  and  thith- 
er, so  that  they  two  went  over 
on  dry  ground. 

9  IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  were  gone  over,  that  £-li'- 

J'ah  said  unto  E-H'sha,  Ask  what 
shall  do  for  thee,  before  I  be 
taken  away  from  thee.  And 
£-li'sha  said,  I  pray  thee,  let  a 
double  portion  of  thy  spirit  be 
upon  me. 

10  And  he  said,  Thou  hast 
asked  a  hard  thing:  neverthe- 
less, if  thou  see  me  when  I  am 
taken  from  thee,  it  shall  be  so 
unto  thee ;  but  if  not,  it  shall 
not  be  80. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
still  went  on,  and  talked,  that, 
behold,  there  appeared  a  char- 
iot of  fire,  and  horses  of  fire,  and 
parted  them  both  asunder;  and 
E-lf'jah  went  up  by  a  whirlwind 
into  heaven. 

12  And  fi-lfsha  saw  it,  and  he 
cried,  My  father,  my  father,  the 
chariot  of  Is/ra-el,  and  the  horse- 
men thereof.  And  he  saw  him 
no  more:  and  he  took  hold  of 
his  own  clothes,  and  rent  them 
in  two  pieces. 

13  He  took  up  also  the  mantle 
of  fifli'jah  that  fell  from  him, 
and  went  back,  and  stood  by  the 
bank  of  J6r'dan ; 

14  And  he  took  the  mantle 
of  fi-lfjah  that  fell  from  him, 
and  smote  the  waters,  and  said, 
Where  is  the  Lord  God  of  £-lf 
jah?  and  when  he  also  had 
smitten  the  waters,  they  parted 
hither  and  thither:  andE-li'sha 
went  over. 

15  And  when  the  sons  of  the 
prophets  which  were  to  view  at 
Jerl-chS  saw  him,  they  said,  The 
spirit  of  £-li'jah  doth  rest  on 
E-li'sha.  And  they  came  to  meet 
him,  and  bowed  themselves  to 
the  ground  before  him: 

16  And  they  said  unto  him,  Be- 
hold now,  there  be  with  thy  serv- 
ants fifty  strong  men ;  let  them

go,  we  pray  thee,  and  seek  thy 
roaster:  lest  peradventure  the 
Spirit  of  the  Lord  hath  taken 
him  up,  and  cast  him  upon  some 
mountain,  or  into  some  valley. 
And  he  said,  Ye  shall  not  send. 

17  And  when  they  urged  him 
till  he  was  ashamed,  he  said, 
Send.  They  sent  therefore  fif- 
ty men;  and  they  sought  three 
days,  hut  found  him  not. 

18  And  when  they  came  again 
to  him,  (for  he  tarried  at  Jerl- 
ch5,)  he  said  unto  them,  Did  I 
not  say  unto  you,  Go  not? 

19  1FAnd  the  men  of  the  city 
said  unto  E-li'sha,  Behold,  I  praj 
thee,  the  situation  of  this  city  xe 
pleasant,  as  my  lord  seeth :  but 
the  water  is  naught,  and  the 
ground  barren. 

20  And  he  said,  Bring  me  a 
new  cruse,  and  put  salt  therein. 
And  they  brought  it  to  him. 

21  And  he  went  forth  unto  the 
spring  of  the  waters,  and  cast 
the  salt  in  there,  and  said,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  I  have  healed 
these  waters ;  there  shall  not  be 
from  thence  any  more  death  or 
barren  land. 

22  So  the  waters  were  healed 
unto  this  day,  according  to  the 
saying  of  E-li'sha  which  he 
spake. 

23  IT  And  he  went  up  from 
thence  unto  Bgth'-el:  and  as 
he  was  going  up  by  the  way, 
there  came  forth  little  children 
out  of  the  city,  and  mocked  him, 
and  said  unto  him,  Go  up,  thou 
bald  head;  go  up,  thou  bald  head. 

24  And  he  turned  back,  and 
looked  on  them,  and  cursed 
then\  in  the  name  of  the  Lord. 
And  there  came  forth  two  she 
bears  out  of  the  wood,  and  tare 
forty  and  two  children  of  them. 

25  And  he  went  from  thence 
to  mount  Car'mel,  and  from 
thence  he  returned  to  Sa-ma'- 
ri-a.  

CHAPTER  3 

Jehoram'e  evil  reign  over  Israel.  4 
Mesha  king  of Moab  rebels.  6  Jeho- 
ram'b  army  want  water;  Elisha 
promises  water  and  victory  over 
Moab.    24  The  Moabites  defeated. 

NOW  Jg-h5'ram  the  son  of 
AliSb  began  to  reign  over 
Is/ra-el  in  Sa-m&'rT-a  the  eight 
eenth  year  of  JS-hdsh'a-phfi1 
king  of  Ju'dah,  and  reigned 
twelve  years. 

2  And  he  wrought  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord  ;  but  not  like 
his  father,  and  like  his  mother 
for  he  put  away  the  image  of 
Ba'al  that  his  father  had  made. 

3  Nevertheless  he  cleaved  un- 
to the.  sins  of  Jer-o-b5'am  the 
son  of  Nel>&t,  which  made  la'- 


ra-el  to  sin;  he  departed  not 
therefrom. 

4  7  And  MS'sha  king  of  Md'ab 
was  a  sheepmaster,  and  ren- 
dered unto  the  king  of  Is/ra-el 
an  hundred  thousand  lambs, 
and  an  hundred  thousand  rams, 
with  the  wool. 

5  But  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Alifib  was  dead,  that  the  king 
of  M5'ab  rebelled  against  the 
king  of  Ia'ra-el. 

6  IF  And  king  JS-hd"ram  went 
out  of  S&m&'rl-a  the  same  time, 
and  numbered  all  Is/ra-el. 

7  And  he  went  and  sent  to  J8- 
hBsh'a-phSt  the  king  of  Ju'dah, 
saving,  The  king  of  Mo'ab  hath 
rebelled  against  me :  wilt  thou 
go  with  me  against  }if5'ab  to 
battle  ?  And  he  said,  I  will  go 
up :  I  am  as  thou  art,  my  people 
as  thy  people,  and  my  horses  as 
thy  horses. 

8  And  he  said,  Which  way  shall 
we  go  up?  And  he  answered, 
The  way  through  the  wilder- 
ness of  E'dom. 

9  So  the  king  of  Is/ra-el  went, 
and  the  king  of  Ju'dah,  and 
the  king  of  E'dom :  and  they 
fetched  a  compass  of  seven 
days'  journey:  and  there  was 
no  water  for  the  host,  and  for 
the  cattle  that  followed  them, 

10  And  the  king  of  Ia'ra-el 
said,  Alas!  that  the  Lord  hath 
called  these  three  kings  to- 
gether, to  deliver  them  into 
the  hand  of  Mo'ab! 

11  But  Je-hdsh  a-phat  said,  Is 
there  not  here  a  prophet  of  the 
Lord,  that  we  may  enquire  of 
the  Lord  by  him  ?  And  one  of 
the  king  of  Is/ra-el's  servants 
answered  and  said.  Here  is 
E-li'sha  the  son  of  Sha'phat, 
which  poured  water  on  the 
hands  of  Eli'jah. 

12  And  JS-hdsh'a-ph&t  said, 
The  word  of  the  Lord  is  with 
him.  So  the  king  of  Ia'ra-el 
and  J£-h&sh'a-ph&t  and  the  king 
of  E'dom  went  down  to  him, 

13  And  E-li'sha  said  unto  the 
king  of  Ia'ra-el,  What  have  I  to 
do  with  thee?  get  thee  to  the 
prophets  of  thy  father,  and  to 
the  prophets  of  thy  mother. 
And  the  king  of  la'ra-el  said 
unto  him,  Nay:  for  the  Lord 
hath  called  these  three  kings  to- 

f  ether,  to  deliver  them  into  the 
and  of  Mft'ab. 

14  And  E-li'sha  said,  As  the 
Lord  of  hosts  liveth,  before 
whom  I  stand,  surely,  were  it 
not  that  I  regard  the  presence 
of  Je-h6sh'a-phat  the  king  of 
Ju'dah,  I  would  not  look  toward 
thee,  nor  see  thee.

15  But  now  bring  me  a  min- 
strel. And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  minstrel  played,  that  the 
hand  of  the  Lord  came  upon 
him. 

16  And  he  said,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Make  this  valley  full  of 
ditches. 

17  For  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Ye  shall  not  see  wind,  neither 
shall  ye  see  rain;  yet  that  val- 
ley shall  he  filled  with  water, 
that  ye  may  drink,  both  ye,  and 
your  cattle,  and  your  beasts. 

18  And  this  is  but  &  light  thin 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  :  he  wil 
deliver  the  Md'ab-ites  also  into 
your  hand. 

19  And  ye  shall  smite  every 
fenced  city,  and  every  choice 
city,  and  shall  fell  every  good 
tree,  and  stop  all  wells  of  water, 
and  mar  every  good  piece  of 
land  with  stones. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  when  the  meat  offer- 
ing was  offered,  that,  behold, 
there  came  water  by  the  way 
of  BMom,  and  the  country  was 
filled  with  water. 

21  IT  And  when  all  the  MS'ab- 
Ites  heard  that  the  kings  were 
come  up  to  fight  against  them, 
they  gathered  all  that  were  able 
to  put  on  armour,  and  upward, 
and  stood  in  the  border. 

22  And  they  rose  up  early  In 
the  morning,  and  the  sun  shone 
upon  the  water,  and  the  M5'ab- 
ites  saw  the  water  on  the  other 
side  as  red  as  blood : 

23  And  they  said,  This  is 
blood :  the  kings  are  surely  slain, 
and  they  have  smitten  one  an- 
other: now  therefore,  Md'ab,  to 
the  spoil 

24  And  when  they  came  to  the 
camp  of  lg'ra-el,  the  Is'ra-el-ftes 
rose  up  and  smote  the  Mft'ab- 
Ites,  so  that  they  fled  before 
them:  but  they  went  forward 
smiting  the  M5'ab-ites,  even  in 
their  country. 

25  And  they  beat  down  the 
cities,  and  on  every  good  piece 
of  land  cast  every  man  his 
stone,  and  filled  it;  and  they 
stopped  all  the  wells  of  water, 
ana  felled  all  the  good  trees: 
only  in  Kir-h&r'a-se'tn  left  they 
the  stones  thereof ;  howbeit  the 
slingersv  went  about  it,  and 
smote  it 

26  11  And  when  the  king  of 
M5'ab  saw  that  the  battle  was 
too  sore  for  him,  he  took  with 
him  seven  hundred  men  that 
drew  swords,  to  break  through 
even  unto  the  king  of  Cdoin: 
but  they  could  not. 

27  Then  he  took  his  eldest  son 


that  should  have  reigned  in  his 
stead,  and  offered  him  for  a 
burnt  offering  upon  the  wall. 
And  there  was  great  indigna- 
tion against  Ia'ra-el:  and  tney 
departed  from  him,  and  returned 
to  their  own  land. 

CHAPTER  4 

Elisha  auomenta  the  widow's  oft,  8 
promises  a  eon  to  theShunammite, 
IB  raises  her  dead  won,  38  heals 
deadly  pottage,  42  satisfies  an  hun- 
dred men  with  twenty  loaves. . 

NOW  there  cried  a  certain 
woman  of  the  wives  of  the 
sons  of  the  prophets  unto  £4T- 
sha,  saying,  Thy  servant  my 
husband  is  dead ;  and  thou  know- 
est  that  thy  servant  did  fear 
the  Lord:  and  the  creditor  is 
come  to  take  unto  him  my  two 
sons  to  be  bondmen. 

2  And  fi-lfsha  said  unto  her, 
What  shall  I  do  for  thee?  tell 
me,  what  hast  thou  in  the 
house?  And  she  said,  Thine 
handmaid  hath  not  any  thing 
in  the  house,  save  a  pot  of  oil. 

3  Then  he  said,  Co,  borrow 
thee  vessels  abroad  of  all  thy 
neighbours,  even  empty  vessels ; 
borrow  not  a  few. 

4  And  when  thou  art  come  in, 
thou  shalt  shut  the  door  upon 
thee  and  upon  thy  sons,  and 
shalt  pour  out  into  all  those 
vessels,  and  thou  shalt  set  aside 
that  which  is  full 

5  So  she  went  from  him,  and 
shut  the  door  upon  her  and  up- 
on her  sons,  who  brought  the 
vessels  to  her;  and  she  poured 
out 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  vessels  were  full,  that  she 
said  unto  her  son,  Bring  nre  yet 
a  vessel.  And  he  said  unto  her, 
There  is  not  a  vessel  more. 
And  the  oil  stayed. 

7  Then  she  came  and  told  the 
man  of  God.  And  he  said,  Go, 
sell  the  oil,  and  pay  thy  debt 
and  live  thou  ana  thy  children 
of  the  rest 

8  f  And  it  fell  on  a  day,  that 
&li'sha  passed  to  Shu'nem, 
where  was  a  great  woman; 
and  she  constrained  him  to  eat 
bread.  And  so  it  was,  that  as 
oft  as  he.  passed  by,  he  turned 
in  thither  to  eat  bread. 

9  And  she  said  unto'  her  hus- 
band, Behold  now,  I  perceive 
that  this  is  an  holy  man  of 
God,  which  passeth  by  us  con 
tinually. 

10  Let  us  make  a  little  cham- 
ber, I  pray  thee,  on  the  wall; 
and  let  us  set  for  him  there  a 
bed,  and  a  table,  and  a  stool, 
and  a  candlestick:  and  it  shall

be,  when  he  cometh  to  us,  that 
he  shall  turn  in  thither. 

11  And  it  fell  on  a  day,  that 
he  came  thither,  and  he  turned 
into  the  chamber,  and  lay  there. 

12  And  he  said  to  Ge-ha'zi  his 
servant,  Call  this  Shu'nam-mite. 
And  when  he  had  called  her, 
she  stood  before  him. 

13  And  he  said  unto  him,  Say 
now  unto  her,  Behold,  thou 
hast  been  careful  for  us  with 
all  this  care;  what  is  to  be 
done  for  thee?  wouldest  thou 
be  spoken  for  to  the  king,  or  to 
the  captain  of  the  host?  And 
she  answered,  I  dwell  among 
mine  own  people. 

14  And  he  said,  What  then  is 
to  be  done  for  her?  And  Ge-ha"- 
zi  answered,  Verily  she  hath  no 
child,  and  her  husband  is  old. 

15  And  he  said.  Call  her.  And 
when  he  had  called  her,  she 
stood  in  the  door. 

16  And  he  said,  About  this 
season,  according  to  the  time 
of  life,  thou  shalt  embrace  a 
son.  And  she  said,  Nay,  my 
lord,  thou  man  of  God,  do  not 
lie  unto  thine  handmaid. 

17  And  the  woman  conceived, 
and  bare  a  son  at  that  season 
that  £-l!'sha  had  said  unto  her, 
according  to  the  time  of  life. 

18  HAnd  when  the  child  was 
grown,  it  fell  on  a  day,  that  he 
went  out  to  his  father  to  the 
reapers. 

19  And  he  said  unto  his  fa- 
ther, My  head,  my  head.  And 
he  said  to  a  lad,  Carry  him  to 
his  mother. 

20  And  when  he  had  taken 
him,  and  brought  him  to  his 
mother,  he  sat  on  her  knees  till 
noon,  and  then  died. 

21  And  she  went  up,  and  laid 
him  on  the  bed  of  the  man  of 
God,  and  shut  the  door  upon 
him,  and  went  out 

22  And  she  called  unto  her 
husband,  and  said, .Send  me,  I 
pray  thee,  one  of  the  young 
men,  and  one  of  the  asses,  that 
I  may  run  to  the  man  of  God, 
and  come  again. 

23  And  he  said,  Wherefore 
wilt  thou  go  to  him  to  day?  it 
is  neither  new  moon,  nor  sab- 
bath. And  she  said,  It  shall  be 
well. 

24  Then  she  saddled  an  ass, 
and  said  to  her  servant,  Drive, 
and  go  forward ;  slack  not  thy 
riding  for  me,  except  I  bid  thee. 

25  So  she  went  and  came  un 
to  the  man  of  God  to  mount 
CaYmel.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  the  man  of  God  saw  her 
afar  off,  that  he  said  to  G€-hS'- 


zi  his  servant,  Behold,  yonder 
is  that  Shu'nam-mite : 

26  Run  now,  I  pray  thee,  to 
meet  her,  and  say  unto  her,  Is 
it  well  with  thee?  is  it  well 
with  thy  husband?  is  it  well 
with  the  child?  And  she  an- 
swered, It  is  well. 

27  And  when  she  came  to  the 
man  of  God  to  the  hill,  she 
caught  him  by  the  feet:  but 
GS-ha'zi  came  near  to  thrust 
her  away.  And  the  man  of 
God  said;  Let  her  alone;  for 
her  soul  is  vexed  within  her: 
and  the  Lord  hath  hid  it  from 
me,  and  hath  not  told  me. , 

28  Then  she  said,  Did  I  desire 
a  son  of  my  lord  ?  did  I  not  say, 
Do  not  deceive  me? 

29  Then  he  said  to  C€-h&'zi, 
Gird  up  thy  loins,  and  take  my 
staff  in  thine  hand,  and  go  thy 
way:  if  thou  meet  any  man, 
salute  him  not;  and  if  any 
salute  thee,  answer  him  not 
again:  and  lay  my  staff  upon 
the  face  of  the  child. 

30  And  the  mother  of  the 
child  said,  As  the  Lord  liveth, 
and  as  thy  soul  liveth,  I  will 
not  leave  thee.  And  he  arose* 
and  followed  her. 

31  And  G$-ha"zi  passed  on  be- 
fore them,  and  laid  the  staff  Up- 
on the  face  of  the  child;  but 
there  was  neither  voice,  nor 
hearing.  Wherefore  he  went 
again  to  meet  him,'  and  told 
him,  saying,  The  child  is  not 
awaked. 

32  And  when  fi-H'sha  was 
come  into  the  house,  behold, 
the  child  was  dead,  and  laid 
upon  his  bed. 

33  He  went  in  therefore,  and 
shut  the  door  upon  them  twain, 
and  prayed  unto  the  Lord. 

34  And  he  went  up,  and  lay  up- 
on the  child,  and  put  his  mouth 
upon  his  mouth,  and  his  eyes 
upon  his  eyes,  and  his  hands  up- 
on his  hands :  and  he  stretched 
himself  upon  the  child ;  and  the 
flesh  of  the  child  waxed  warm. 

35  Then  be  returned,  and 
walked  in  the  house  to  and  fro ; 
and  went  up,  and  stretched  him- 
self upon  him:  and  the  child 
sneezed  seven  times,  and  the 
child  opened  his  eyes. 

36  And  he  called  Ge-hft'zf,  and 
said,  Call  this  Shu'nam-mite. 
So  he  called  her.  And  when  she 
was  come  in  unto  him,  he  said, 
Take  up  thy  son. 

37  Then  she  went  in,  and  fell 
at  his  feet,  and  bowed  herself 
to  the  ground,  and  took  up  her 
son,  and  went  out

to  Gfl'gfil:  and  there  was  a 
dearth  in  the  land;  and  the 
sons  of  the  prophets  were  sit- 
ting before  [nim:  and  he  said 
unto  his  servant,  Set  on  the 
great  pot,  and  seethe  pottage 
for  the  sons  of  the  prophets. 

39  And  one  went  out  into  the 
field  to  gather  herbs,  and  found 
a  wild  vine,  and  gathered  there- 
of wild  gourds  his  lap  full,  and 
came  and  shred  them  into  the 
pot  of  pottage:  for  they  knew 
them  not 

40  So  they  poured  out  for  the 
men  to  eat  And  it  came  to 
pass,  as  they  were  eating  of  the 
pottage,  that  they  cried  out  and 
said,  0  thou  man  of  God,  there 
is  death  in  the  pot  And  they 
could  not  eat  thereof. 

41  But  he  said,  Then  bring 
meaL  And  he  cast  it  into  the 
pot;  and  he  said,  Pour  out  for 
the  people,  that  they  mav  eat 
And  there  was  no  harm  in  the 
pot 

42  IF  And  there  came  a 
man  from  BS'al-sh&H-sha,  and 
brought  the  man  of  God  bread 
of  the  firstfruits,  twenty  loaves 
of  barley,  and  full  ears  of  corn 
in  the  husk  thereof.  And  he 
said,  Give  unto  the  people,  that 
they  may  eat 

43  And  his  servitor  said. 
What,  should  I  set  this  before 
an  hundred  men?  He  said 
again,  Give  the  people,  that 
they  may  eat:  for  thus  saith 
the  Lord,  They  shall  eat  and 
shall  leave  thereof. 

44  So  he  set  it  before  them, 
and  they  did  eat  and  left  there- 
of, according  to  the  word  of  the 
Lord. 

CHAPTER  5 

Naaman'a  leprosy.  8  Elisha  sends 
him  to  Jordan,  and  he  is  healed. 
16  Elisha  refuses  Naaman* s  gifts. 
20  Gehazi  by  a  lie  obtains  a  pres- 
ent, but  is  smitten  with  leprosy. 

NOW  NS'a-man,  captain  of 
the  host  of  the  king  of 
Syrf-a,  was  a  great  man  with 
his  master,  and  honourable,  be- 
cause by  him  the  Lord  had 
Riven  deliverance  unto  Sjfrl-a : 
he  was  also  a  mighty  man  in 
valour,  but  he  was  a  leper. 

2  And  the  Syrl-ans.  had  gone 
out  by  companies,  and  had 
brought  away  captive  out  of 
the  land  of  Is/ra-el  a  little  maid ; 
and  she  waited  on  Na'a-man's 
wife. 

3  And  she  said  unto  her  mis- 
tress, Would  God  my  lord  were 
with  the  prophet  that  is  in  S£- 
m&'ri-a!  for  he  would  recover 
him  of  his  leprosy. 

4  And  one  went  in,  and  told 


his  lord,  saying,  Thus  and  thus 
said  the  maid  that  is  of  the 
land  of  Ig'ra-el. 

5  And  the  king  of  SyrTa  said. 
Go  to,  go,  and  I  will  send  a  let- 
ter unto  the  king  of  Is/ra-el. 
And  he  departed,  and  took  with 
him  ten  talents  of  silver,  and 
six  thousand  pieces  of  gold,  and 
ten  changes  of  raiment 

6  And  he  brought  the  letter 
to  the  king  of  Ig'ra-el,  saying, 
Now  when  this  letter  is  come 
unto  thee,  behold,  I  have  there- 
with sent  Nfi'a-man  my  servant 
to  thee,  that  thou  mayest  re- 
cover him  of  his  leprosy. 

7  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  king  of  Is/ra-el  had  read  the 
letter,  that  he  rent  his  clothes, 
and  said,  Am  I  God,  to  kill  and 
to  make  alive,  that  this  man 
doth  send  unto  me  to  recover 
a  man  of  his  leprosy?  where- 
fore consider,  I  pray  you,  and 
see  how  he  seeketh  a  quarrel 

Tinst  me. 
t  And  it  was  so,  when  £-11' 
sha  the  man  of  God  had  heard 
that  the  king  of  Ig'ra-el  had  rent 
his  clothes,  that  he  sent  to  the 
king,  saying,  Wherefore  hast 
thou  rent  thy  clothes?  let  him 
come  now  to  me,  and  he  shall 
know  that  there  is  a  prophet  in 
Ig'ra-el. 

9  So  NS'a-man  came  with  his 
horses  and  with  his  chariot,  and 
stood  at  the  door  of  the  house 
of  E-Ii'sha. 

10  And  £-li'sha  sent  a  messen- 
ger unto  him,  saying,  Go  and 
wash  in  Jdr'dan  seven  times, 
and  thy  flesh  shall  come  again 
to  thee,  and  thou  shalt  be  clean. 

11  But  Na'a-man  was  wroth, 
and  went  away,  and  said,  Be- 
hold, I  thought,  He  will  surely 
come  out  to  me,  and  stand,  and 
call  on  the  name  of  the  Lord 
his  God,  and  strike  his  hand 
over  the  place,  and  recover  the 
lener 

12  Are  not  AVa-na  and  PhaT- 
par,  rivers  of  Dfi-mas'cus,  better 
than  all  the  waters  of  Ig'ra-el? 
may  I  not  wash  in  them,  and  be 
clean  ?  So  he  turned  and  went 
away  in  a  rage. 

13  And  his  servants  came 
near,  and  spake  unto  him, 
and  said,  My  father,  if  the 
prophet  had  bid  thee  do  some 
great  thing,  wouldest  thou  not 
have  done  it  t  how  much  rath- 
er then,  when  he  saith  to  thee, 
Wash,  and  be  clean  ?

flesh  came  again  like  unto  the 
flesh  of  a  little  child,  and  he 
was  clean. 

15  If  And  he  returned  to  the 
man  of  God,  he  and  all  his  com- 
pany, and  came,  and  stood  before 
niin :  and  he  said,  Behold,  now 
I  know  that  there  is  no  God 
in  all  the  earth,  but  in  Is/ra-el : 
now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  take 
a  blessing  of  thy  servant 

16  But  he  said,  As  the  Lord 
liveth,  before  whom  I  stand,  I 
will  receive  none.  And  he  urged 
him  to  take  it ;  but  he  refused. 

17  And  Na'a-man  said.  Shall 
there  not  then,  I  pray  thee,  be 

jven  to  thy  servant  two  mules' 
mrden  of  earth  ?  for  thy  serv- 
ant will  henceforth  offer  nei- 
ther burnt  offering  nor  sacri- 
fice unto  other  gods,  but  unto 
the  Lord. 

18  In  this  thing  the  Lord  par- 
don thy  servant,  that  when  my 
master  goeth  into  the  house  of 
Rim'mon  to  worship  there,  and 
he  leaneth  on  my  nand,  and  I 
bow  myself  in  the  house  of 
Rim'mon:  when  I  bow  down 
myself  in  the  house  of  Rim'- 
mon, the  Lord  pardon  thy  serv- 
ant in  this  thing. 

19  And  he  said  unto  him,  Go 
in  peace.  So  he  departed  horn 
him  a  little  way. 

20  If  But  G&-mVzi,  the  servant 
of  &lf 'sha  the  man  of  God,  said, 
Behold,  my  master  hath  spared 
Na'a-man  this  Syrl-an,  in  not 
receiving  at  his  hands  that 
which  he  brought:  but,  as  the 
Lord  liveth,  f  will  run  after 
him,  and  take  somewhat  of  him. 

21  So  Ge-hfi'zi  followed  after 
Na'a-man.  And  when  Na'a-man 
saw  him  running  after  him,  he 
lighted  down  from  the  chariot 
to  meet  him,  and  said,. Is  all 
well? 

22  And  he  said,  All  is  well.  My 
master  hath  sent  me,  saying,  Be- 
hold, even  now  there  be  come  to 
me  from  mount  £'phr8-Im  two 
young  men  of  the  sons  of  the 
prophets:  give  them,  I  pray 
thee,  a  talent  of  silver,  and  two 
changes  of  garments. 

23  And  Na  a-man  said.  Be  con- 
tent, take  two  talents.  And  he 
urged  him,  and  bound  two  tal- 
ents of  silver  in  two  bags,  with 
two  changes  of  garments,  and 
laid  them  upon  two  of  his  serv- 
ants; and  they  bare  them  be- 
fore him. 

24  And  when  he  came  to  the 
tower,  he  took  them  from  their 
hand,  and  bestowed  them  in  the 
house :  and  he  let  the  men  go, 
and  they  departed. 


25  But  he  went  in,  and  stood 
before  his  master.  And  £-li'sha 
said  unto  him,  Whence  contest 
thou,  Ge-hS'zi?  And  he  said, 
Thy  servant  went  no  whither. 

26  And  he  said  unto  him.  Went 
not  mine  heart  with  thee,  when 
the  man  turned  again  from  his 
chariot  to  meet  thee?  Is  it  a 
time  to  receive  money,  and  to 
receive  garments,  and  olive- 
yards,  and  vineyards,  and  sheep, 
and  oxen,  and  menservants,  and 
maidservants? 

27  The  leprosy  therefore  of 
Na'a-man  shall  cleave  unto  thee, 
and  unto  thy  seed  for  ever.  And 
he  went  out  from  his  presence  a 
leper  as  white  as  snow. 

CHAPTER  6 

Eliska  causes  iron  to  swim ;  8  dis- 
closes the  fcing  of  Syria,1 a  counsel : 
18  hie  armv  smitten  with  blind. 
neat,  24  Ben-hodad  besieges  So- 
maria. 

A  ND  the  sons  of  the  prophets 
XX  said  unto  E-li'sha,  Behold 
now,  the  place  where  we  dwell 
with  thee  is  too  strait  for  us, 

2  Let  us  go,  we  pray  thee,  un- 
to Jor'dan,  and  take  thence  every 
man  a  beam,  and  let  us  make  us 
a  place  there,  where  we  may 
dwell.  And  he  answered,  Go  ye. 

3  And  one  said.  Be  content, 
I  pray  thee,  and  go  with  thy 
servants.  And  he  answered,  I 
will  go. 

4  So  he  went  with  them.  And 
when  they  came  to  JdrMan,  they 
cut  down  wood. 

5  But  as  one  was  felling  a 
beam,  the  ax  head  fell  into  the 
water:  and  he  cried,  and  said, 
Alas,  master!  for  it  was  bor- 
rowed. 

6  And  the  man  of  God  said, 
Where  fell  it  ?  And  he  shewed 
him  the  place.  And  he  cut 
down  a  stick,  and  cast  it  in 
thither;  and  the  iron  did  swim. 

7  Therefore  said  he,  Take  it 
up  to  thee.  And  he  put  out  his 
hand,  and  took  it 

8  IT  Then  the  king  of  tyfl-k 
warred  against  Is/ra-el,  and  took 
counsel  with  his  servants,  say- 
ing, In  such  and  such  a  place 
shall  be  my  camp. 

9  And  the  man  of  God  sent 
unto  the  king  of  Is/ra-el,  say- 
ing, Beware  that  thou  pass  not 
such  a  place;  for  thither  the 
Syrl-ana  are  come  down. 

10  And  the  king  of  Is/ra-el  sent 
to  the  place  which  the  man  of 
God  told  him  and  warned  him 
of,  and  saved  himself  there,  not 
once  nor  twice. 

11  Therefore  the  heart  of  the 
king  of  Sjfrl-a  was  sore  troubled

for  this  thing ;  and  he  called  his 
servants,  and  said  unto  them, 
Will  ye  not  shew  me  which  of 
us  is  for  the  king  of  Isfra-el  ? 

12  And  one  61  his  servants 
said;  None,  my  lord,  0  king: 
but  EJi'sha,  the  prophet  that 
is  in  I|'ra-el,  telleth  the  king 
Of  Ig'ra-el  the  words  that  thou 
speakest  in  thy  bedchamber. 

13  And  he  said,  Go  and  sftr 
where  he  iff,  that  I  may  send 
and  fetch  him.  And  it  was  told 
him,  saying.  Behold,  he  is  in 
DC'than. 

14  Therefore  sent  he  thither 
horses,  and  chariots,  and  a  great 
host :  and  they  came  by  night, 
and  compassed  the  city  about 

15  And  when  the  servant  of 
the  man  of  God  was  risen  early, 
and  gone  forth,  heboid,  an  host 
compassed  the  city  both  with 
horses  and  chariots.  And  his 
servant  said  unto  him,  Alas,  my 
master !  how  shall  we  do  ? 

16  And  he  answered,  Peat 
not:  for  they  that  be  with  us 
art  more  than  they  that  be 
with  them. 

17  And  fi-lfsha  prayed,  and 
said,  Lord,  I  pray  thee,  open 
his  eyes,  that  he  may  see.  And 
the  Lord  opened  the  eyes  of  the 
young  man ;  and  he  saw :  and. 
behold,  the  mountain  was  full 
of  horses  and  chariots  of  fire 
round  about  £-lf  sha. 

18  And  when  they  came  down 
to  him,  &-li"sha  prayed  unto  the 
Lord,,  and  said,  Smite  this  peo- 
ple, I  pray  thee,  with  blindness. 
And  he  smote  them  with  blind- 
ness according  to  the  word  of 
E-ll*ha. 

19  And  S-li'sha  said  unto 
them,  This  is  not  the  way, 
neither  is  this  the  city:  follow 
me,  and  I  will  bring  you  to  the 
man  whom  ye  seek.  But  he  led 
them  to  Sa-m5'ri-a. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  were  come  into  S&-ma"ri-a» 
that  £-li'sha  said,  Lord,  open 
the  eyes  of  these  men,  that  they 
may  see.  And  the  Lord  opened 
their  eyes,  and  they  saw ;  and, 
behold,  they  were  in  the  midst 
of  Sa-mfi'ri-a. 

21  And  the  king  of  Is/ra-el 
said  unto  £-li-sha,  when  he  saw 
them,  My  father,  shall  I  smite 
them  ?  shall  I  smite  them  f 

22  And  he  answered,  Thou 
shalt  not*  smite  them :  wouldest 
thou  smite  those  whom  thou 
hast  taken  captive  with  thy 
sword  and  with  thy  bow?  set 
bread  and  water  before  them, 
that  they  may  eat  and  drink, 
and  go  to  their  master. 

584 


23  And  he  prepared  great  pro- 
vision for  them :  and  when  they 
had  eaten  and  drunk,  he  sent 
them  away,  and  they  went  to 
their  master.  So'  the  bands  of 
Syrf-a  came  no  more  into  the 
land  of  I$'ra-el. 

24  IT  And  it  came  to  pass 
after  this,  that  Ben-h&'dfid  king 
of  Sjfrf-a  gathered  all  his  host, 
and  went  up,  and  besieged  S&- 
mU'rW. 

25  And  there  was  a  great  fam- 
ine in  Sa-m&'ri-a:  and,  behold, 
they  besieged  it,  until  an  ass's 
head  was  sold  for  fourscore 
pieces  of  silver,  and  the  fourth 
part  of  a  cab  of  dove's  dung  for 
five  pieces  of  silver. 

26  IT  And  as  the  king  of  Is/re- 
el was  passing  by  upon  the  wall, 
there  cried  a  woman  unto  him, 

aying,  Help,  my  lord,  O  king. 

Z7  And  he  said,  If  the  Lord 
do  not  help  thee,  whence  shall 
I  help  thee?  out  of  the  barn- 
floor,  or  out  of  the  winepress? 

28  And  the  king  said  unto  her, 
What  aileth  tjiee  ?  And  she  an- 
swered, This  woman  said  unto 
me,  Give  thy  son,  that  we  may 
eat  him  to  day,  and  we  will  eat 
my  son  to  morrow. 

29  So  we  boiled  my  son,  and 
did  eat  him :  and  I  said  unto  her 
on  the  next  day,  Give  thy  son, 
that  we  may  eat  him:  ana  she 
hath  hid  her  son. 

30  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  king  heard  the  words  of  the 
woman,  that  he  rent  his  clothes ; 
and  he*  passed  by  upon  the  wall, 
and  the  people  looked,  and,  be- 
hold, he  had  sackcloth  within 
upon  his  flesh. 

31  Then  he  said,  God  do  so 
and  more  also  to  me,  if  the 
head  of  &-li'sha  the  son  of  SmV- 
phat  shall  stand  on  him  this  day. 

32  But  £-li'sha  sat  in  his  house, 
and  the  elders  sat  with  him ; 
and  the  king  sent  a  man  from 
before  him :  but  ere  the  messen- 
ger came  to  him,  he  said  to  the 
elders,  See  ye  how  this  son  of 
a  murderer  hath  sent  to  take 
away  mine  head?  look,  when 
the  messenger  cometh,  shut  the 
door,  and  hold  him  fast  at  the 
door:  is  not  the  sourid  of  his 
master's  feet  behind  him  ? 

33  And  while  he  yet  talked 
with  them,  behold,  the  messen- 

fer  came  down  unto  him :  and 
e  said,  Behold,  this  evil  is  of 
the  Lord  ;  what  should  I  wait 
for  the  Lord  any  longer?

the  Sjfrl-ana  have  done  to  us. 
They  know  that  we  be  hungry ; 
therefore  are  they  gone  out  of 
the  camp  to  hide  themselves  in 
the  field,  saying,  When  they 
come  out  of  the  city,  we  shall 
catch  them  alive,  and  get  into 
the  city. 

13  And  one  of  his  servants  an 
swered  and  said,  Let  some  take, 
I  pray  thee,  five  of  the  horses 
that  remain,  which  are  left  in 
the  city,  (behold,  they  are  as 
all  the  multitude  of  Ig'ra-el  that 
are  left  in  it :  behold,  J  say,  they 
are  even  as  all  the  multitude  of 
the  Is/ra-el-ites  that  are  con- 
sumed:) and  let  us  send  and 
see. 

14  Thev  took  therefore  two 
chariot  horses;  and  the  king 
sent  after  the  host  of  the  Sjfr'- 
i-ana,  saving,  Go  and  see. 

15  And  they  went  after  them 
unto  Jdrtian:  and,  lo,  all  the 
way  was  full  of  garments  and 
vessels,  which  the  Sjrrl-ana  had 
cast  away  in  their  haste.  And 
the  messengers  returned,  and 
told  the  king. 

16  And  the  people  went  out, 
and  spoiled  tne  tents  of  the 
Syrtens.  So  a  measure  of  fine 
flour  was  sold  for  a  shekel,  and 
two  measures  of  barley  for  a 
shekel,  according  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord. 

17  1TAnd  the  king  appointed 
the  lord  on  whose  hand  he 
leaned  to  have  the  charge  of 
the  gate:  and  the  people  trode 
upon  him  in  the  gate,  and  he 
died,  as  the  man  of  God  had 
said,  who  spake  when  the  king 
came  down  to  him. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass  as  the 
man  of  God  had  spoken  to  the 
king,  saying,  Two  measures  of 
barley  for  a  shekel,  and  a  meas- 
ure of  fine  flour  for  a  shekel, 
shall  be  to  morrow  about  this 
time  in  the  gate  of  SS-ma'rf-a : 

19  And  that  lord  answered  the 
man  of  God,  and  said,  Now,  be- 
hold, if  the  Lord  should  make 
windows  in  heaven,  might  such 
a  thing  be?  And  he  said,  Be- 
hold, thou  shalt  see  it  with 
thine  eyes,  but  shalt  not  eat 
thereof. 


JL  the  word  of  the  Lord  ;  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  To  morrow  about 
this  time  shall  a  measure  of  fine 
flour  be  sold  for  a  shekel,  and 
two  measures  of  barley  for  a 
shekel,  in  the  gate  of  Sa-mfi'rl-a. 

2  Then  a  lord  on  whose  hand 
the  king  leaned  answered  the 
man  of  God,  and  said.  Behold,  if 
the  Lord  would  make  windows 
in  heaven,  might  this  thing  be? 
And  he  said,  Behold,  thou  shalt 
see  it  with  thine  eyes,  but  shalt 
not  eat  thereof. 

3  If  And  there  were  four  lep- 
rous men  at  the  entering  in  of 
the  rate :  and  they  said  one  to 
another,  Why  sit  we  here  until 
we  die? 

4  If  we  say,  We  will  enter  into 
the  city,  then  the  famine  is  in 
the  city,  and  we  shall  die  there 
and  if  we  sit  still  here,  we  die 
also.  Now  therefore  come,  and 
let  us  fall  unto  the  host  of  the 
Syrl-ana :  if  they  save  us  alive, 
we  shall  live ;  and  if  they  kill 
us,  we  shall  but  die. 

5  And  they  rose  up  in  the  twi- 
light, to  go  unto  the  camp  of 
the  Syrl-ans:  and  when  they 
were  come  to  the  uttermost  part 
of  the  camp  of  Sjhrl-a,  behold, 
there  was  no  man  there. 

6  For  the  Lord  had  made  the 
host  of  the  Syrf-ans.  to  hear  a 
noise  of  chariots,  and  a  noise  of 
horses,  even  the  noise  of  a 
great  host:  and  they  said  one 
to  another,  Lo,  the  king  of  Ig'- 
ra-el  hath  hired  against  us  the 
kings  of  the  Hit'tites,  and  the 
kings  of  the  &gyp'tiana»  to 
come  upon  us. 

7  Wherefore  they  arose  and 
fled  in  the  twilight,  and  left 
then-  tents,  and  their  horses, 
and  their  asses,  even  the  camp 
as  it  was,  and  fled  for  their  life. 

8  And  when  these  lepers  came 
to  the  uttermost  part  of  the 
camp,  they  went  into  one  tent, 
and  did  eat  and  drink,  and  car- 
ried thence  silver,  and  gold,  and 
raiment,  and  went  and  hid  it ; 
and  came  again,  and  entered 
into  another  tent,  and  carried 
thence  also,  and  went  and  hid 
it. 

9  Then  they  said  one  to  an- 
other, We  do  not  well :  this  day 
is  a  day  of  good  tidings,  and  we 
hold  our  peace :  if  we  tarry  tijl 
the  morning  light,  some  mis- 
chief will  come  upon  us ;  now 
therefore  come,  that  we  may  go 
and  tell  the  king's  household. 

10  So  they  came  and  called 
unto  the  porter  of  the  city :  and 
they  told  them,  saying,  We  came

CHAPTER  8 

The  Shunammite'e  land  restored. 
Hazad  kills  his  master,  and  suc- 
ceeds him.  16  Jehoram*s  wicked 
reign  in  Judah  :  2A  Ahaeiah  sue- 
ceeds  him:    25  his  wicked  reign. 

THEN  spake  fMi'sha  unto  the 
woman,  whose  son  he  had 
restored  to  life,  saying,  Arise, 
and  go  thou  and  thine  house- 
hold,  and  sojourn  wheresoever 
thou  canst  sojourn:  for  the 
Lord  hath  called  for  a  famine; 
and  it  shall  also  come  upon  the 
land  seven  years. 

2  And  the  woman  arose,  and 
did  after  the  saying  of  the  man 
of  God:  and  she  went  with  her 
household,  and  sojourned  in  the 
land  of  the  Phl-lis'tinea  seven 
years. 

3  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
seven  years'  end,  that  the  wom- 
an returned  out  of  "the  land  of 
the  PhMfs'tines :  and  she  went 
forth  to  cry  unto  the  king  for 
her  house  and  for  her  land 

4  And  the  king  talked  with 
G€*hfi'zi  the  servant  of  the  man 
of  God,  saying,  Tell  me,  I  pray 
thee,  all  the  great  things  that 
fi-li'sha  hath  done. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he 
ras  telling  the  king  how  he 

had  restored  a  dead  body  to  life, 
that,  behold,  the  woman,  whose 
son  he  had  restored  to  life,  cried 
to  the  king  for  her  house  and 
for  her  land.  And  Ge-hft'd  said, 
My  lord,  0  king,  this  is  the  wom- 
an, and  this  w  her  son,  whom 
£4i'sha  restored  to  life. 

6  And  when  the  king  asked 
the  woman,  she  told  him.  So 
the  king  appointed  unto  her  a 
certain  officer,  saying,  Restore 
all  that  was  tier's,  and  all  the 
fruits  of  the  field  since  the  day 
that  she  left  the  land,  even  un- 
til now. 

7  IF  And  £-li'sha  came  to  Dfi- 
mfis'cus;  and  Ben-ha'dftd  the 
king  of  SJr'i-a  was  sick;  and  it 
was  told  him,  saying,  The  man 
of  God  is  come  hither. 

8  And  the  king  said  unto  HSz'- 
a-el,  Take  a  present  in  thine 
hand,  and  go,  meet  the  man  of 
God,  and  enquire  of  the  Lord 
by  him,  saying,  Shall  I  recover 
of  this  disease? 

9  So  HaVa-el  went  to  meet 
him,  and  took  a  present  with 
him,  even  of  every  good  thing 
of  Da-maVcua,  forty  camel? 
burden,  and  came  and  stood 
before  him,  and  said.  Thy  son 
Ben-ha'dftd  king  of  Sjfr%a  hath 


sent  me  to  thee,  saying,  Shall  I 
recover  of  this  disease ? 

10  And  E-li'sha  said  unto  him, 
Go,  say  unto  him,  Thou  mayest 
certainly  recover:  howbeit  the 
Lord  hath  shewed  me  that  he 
shall  surely  die. 

11  And  he  settled  his  counte- 
nance stedfaatly,  until  he  was 
ashamed :  and  the  man  of  God 

W12PAnd  HaVa-cl  said,  Why 
weepeth  my  lord?  And  he  an- 
swered, Because  I  know  the 
evil  that  thou  wilt  do  unto  the 
children  of  ls/ra-el :  their  strong 
holds  wilt  thou  set  on  fire,  and 
their  young  men  wilt  thou  slay 
with  the  sword,  and  wilt  dash 
their  children,  and  rip  up  their 
women  with  child. 

13  And  HaVa-el  said.  But  what, 
ia  thy  servant  a  dog,  that  he 
should  do  this  great  thing  ?  And 
£4i'sha  answered,  The  Lord 
hath  shewed  me  that  thou 
Shalt  be  king  over  SjrrTa. 

14  So  he  departed  from  £-li'« 
sha,  and  came  to  his  master; 
who  said  to  him,  What  said 
&-li'sha  to^thee?  And  he  an- 
swered, He  told  me  that  thou 
shouldeat  surely  recover. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  he  took  a  thick 
cloth,  and  dipped  it  in  water, 
and  spread  tt  on  his  face,  so 
that  he  died:  and  HaYa-el 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

16  IFAnd  in  the  fifth  year  of 
J5'ram  the  son  of  Ali&b  king;  of 
Ij'ra-el,  JevhBsh'a-phfit  being 
then  king  of  Jfi'dan,  Je*-h5'ram 
the  son  of  Jfr-hdsh'a-ph&t  king 
of  Ju'dah  began  to  reign. 

17  Thirty  and  two  years  old 
was  he  when  he  began  to  reign ; 
and  he  reigned  eight  years  in 
JeVru'sa-lem. 

18  And  he  walked  in  the  way 
of  the  kings  of  Is/ra-el,  as  did 
the  house  of  Ali&b:  for  the 
daughter  of  ATifib  was  his  wife : 
and  he  did  evil  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord. 

19  Yet  the  Lord  would  not 
destroy  Jfi'dah  for  Dfi'vid  his 
servant's  sake,  as  he  promised 
him  to  give  him  alway  a  light, 
and  to  his  children. 

20  IFIn  his  days  E'dom  revolt- 
ed from  under  the  hand  of  Ju'- 
dah, and  made  a  king  over  them- 
selves. 

21  So  Jft'ram  went  over  to 
Za'ir,  and  all  the  chariots  with 
him :  and  he  rose  by  night,  and 
smote  the  E'dora-ites  which 
compassed  him  about,  and  the 
captains  of  the  chariots:  and 
the  people  fled  into  their  tents.

22  Yet  E'dom  revolted  from 
under  the  hand  of  Jfl'dah  onto 
this  day.  Then  Llb'nah  revolt- 
ed at  the  same  time. 

23  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
J&'ram,  and  all  that  he  did,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  book  of 
the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 
jQ'dah? 

24  And  J5'ram  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  was  buried  with 
his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Dfi'- 
vid:  and  A-ha-ai'ah  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

25  ITIn  the  twelfth  year  of  J&'- 
ram the  son  of  A'hfib  king  of 
Is'ra-el  did  A-ha-zFah  the  son  of 
J&hft'ram  king  of  Jfl'dah  begin 
to  reign. 

26  Two  and  twenty  years  old 
was  A-ha-zi'ah  when  he  began 
to  reign;  and  he  reigned  one 
year  in  JS-rg'sfi-lem.  And  his 
mother's  name  was  Ath-a-H'ah, 
the  daughter  of  Om'ri  king  of 
Is'ra-el. 

27  And  he  walked  in  the  way 
of  the  house  of  Allah,  and  did 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
as  did  the  house  of  A'hfib:  for 
he  ioas  the  son  in  law  of  the 
house  of  AliSb. 

28  1TAnd  he  went  with  Jd'ram 
the  son  of  A'hfib  to  the  war 
against  HaYa-el  king  of  S¥rl-a 
in  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad ;  and  the 
Sfr*I-ans.  wounded  Jd'ram. 

29  And  king  Jd'ram  went  back 
to  be  healed  in  JeVre-el  of  the 
wounds  which  the  Sjrr'kms  had 
given  him  at  Rfi'mah,  when  he 
fought  against  HfiVa-el  king  of 
SyrwL  And  A-ha-zi'ah  the  son 
of  Je-hd'ram  king  of  Jfi'dah 
went  down  to  see  Jd'ram  the 
son  of  A"hlb  in  JeVre-el,  be- 
cause  he  was  sick. 

CHAPTER  9 

Jehu  it  anointed ;  2A  he  kill*  Joram 
xntheJieldofNaboth.  27  Ahaziah 
is  stain.    36  Jezebel  eaten  fry  doge. 

AND  E-li'sha  the  nronhet 
called  one  of  the  children 
of  the  prophets,  and  said  unto 
him,  Gird  up  thy  loins,  and  take 
this  box  of  oil  in  thine  hand, 
and  go  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-Sd : 

2  And  when  thou  comest 
thither,  look  out  there  JeTnl 
the  son  of  JS-hdsh'a-phfit  the 
son  of  Nhn'shi,  and  go  in,  and 
make  him  arise  up  from  among 
his  brethren,  and:  carry  him  to 
an  inner  chamber ; 

3  Then  take  the  box  of  oil, 
and  pour  it  on  his  head,  and 
say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  I 
have  anointed  thee  king  over 
Is'ra-el.  Then  open  the  door, 
and  flee,  and  tarry  not. 

4  So  the  young  man,  even  the 


young  man  the  prophet,  went 
to  RTmoth-gU'e-ad. 

5  And  when  he  came,  behold, 
the  captains  of  the  host  were 
sitting ;  and  he  said,  I  have  an 
errand  to  thee,  O  captain.  And 
JrhQ  said,  Unto  which  of  all 
us?     And  he  said,  To  thee,  0 

captain.  Nn.31.48.  Captains. 

6  And  he  arose,  and  went  into 
the  house ;  and  he  poured  the 

oil  on  his  head,  and  said  untojp.p.i  S.2.7;  2Chr.22.7. 

him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God| 

of  Is'ra-el,  I  have  anointed  thee  p.p.T.3. 

king  over  the  people  of   the 

Lord,  even  over  Is'ra-el. 

7  And  thou  shalt  smite  the 
house  of  A'hfib  thy  master,  that 
I  may  avenge  the  blood  of  my 
servants  the  prophets,  and  the 
blood  of  all  the  servants  of  the 
Lord,  at  the  hand  of  Jetfe-bel 

8  For  the  whole  house  of 
A'hfib  shall  perish:  and  I  will 
cut  off  from  A'hfib  him  that 

Sisseth  against  the  wall,  and 
im  that  is  shut  up  and  left  in 
Ig'ra-el : 

9  And  I  will  make  the  house 
of  A'hfib  like  the  house  of  Jer- 
o*bd'am  the  son  of  Nd'bfit,  and 
like  the  house  of  Bfi'a-sha  the 
son  of  A-hi'jah : 

10  And  the  dogs  shall  eat  Jez'- 
e-bel  in  the  portion  of  JeVre-el, 
and  there  shall  be  none  to  bury 
her.  And  he  opened  the  door, 
and  fled. 

11  IT  Then  JChfl  came  forth  to 
the  servants  of  his  lord:  and 
one  said  unto  him,  Is  all  well? 
wherefore  came  this  mad  fellow 
to  thee?  And  he  said  unto 
them,  Ye  know  the  man,  and 
his  communication. 

12  And  they  said,  It  is  false; 
tell  us  now.  And  he  said,  Thus 
and  thus  spake  he  to  me,  say- 
ing, Thus  saith  the  Lord,  I 
have  anointed  thee  king  over 
Is'ra-el. 

13  Then  they  hasted,  and  took 
every  man  his  garment,  and  put

14  So  Jrhu  the  son  of  Je*hdsh'- 
a-uhfit  the  son  of  Nim'shl  con- 
spired against  Jd'ram.  (Now  Jd'- 
ram had  kept  Ra'-moth-gfl'e-fid, 
he  and  all  Is'ra-el,  because  of 
Hfifa-el  king  of  Syria. 

15  But  kine  Jd'ram  was  re- 
turned to  be  healed  in  Jez're-el 
of  the  wounds  which  the  Sjrrl-  p.p.ch.8.29. 
ans  had  Riven  him,  when  he 
fought  with  Hfiz'a-el  king;  of 
Sjfrl-a.)  And  JeTiu  said,  If  it 
be  your  minds,  then  let  none  go 
forth  nor  escape  out  of  the  city 
to  go  to  tell  it  in  Jez're-el.

16  So  Jglifi  rode  in  a  chariot, 
and  went  to  JeVre-el;  for  Jo'- 
ram  lay  there.  And  A-ha-zi'ah 
king  of  Jil'dah  was  come  down 
to  see  Jo'ram. 

17  And  there  stood  a  watch- 
man on  the  tower  in  Jez're-el, 
and  he  spied  the  company  of 
Je'hu  as  he  came,  and  said,  I 
see  a  company.  And  J5'ram 
said,  Take  an  horseman,  and 
send  to  meet  them,  and  let  him 
say,  Is  it  peace  ? 

18  So  there  went  one  on  horse- 
hack  to  meet  him,  and  said, 
Thus  saith  the  king,  Is  it  peace  ? 
And  J?hu  said.  What  hast  thou 
to  do  with  peace?  turn  thee  be- 
hind me.  And  the  watchman 
told,  saying.  The  messenger 
came  to  them,  but  he  cometh 
not  again. 

19  Then  he  sent)  out  a  second 
on  horseback,  which  came  to 
them,  and  said,  Thus  saith  the 
king,  la  it  peace?  And  JgTiu 
answered,  What  hast  thou  to  do 
with  peace?  turn  thee  behind 
me. 

20  And  the  watchman  told, 
saying,  He  came  even  unto  them, 
and  cometh  not  again :  and  the 
driving  is  like  the  driving  of 
Je'hu  the  son  of  Nim'shl;  for 
he  driveth  furiously. 

21  And  Jo'ram  said,  Make 
ready.  And  his  chariot  was 
made  ready.  And  JS'ram  king 
of  Ia'ra-el  and  A-ha-zi'ah  king  of 
JO'dah  went  out,  each  in  his 
chariot,  and  they  went  out 
against  Je'hu,  and  met  him  in 
the  portion  of  Nalrfth  the  J&f- 
re-el-ite. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Jd'ram  saw  Je'hu,  that  he  said, 
Is  it  peace,  Je'hu?  And  he  an- 
swered, What  peace,  so  long  as 
the  whoredoms  of  thy  mother 
JeVe-bgl  and  her  witchcrafts  are 
so  many? 

23  And  J5'ram  turned  his 
hands,  and  fled,  and  said  to 
A-ha-zi'ah,  There  is  treachery, 
0  A-ha-zi'ah. 

24  And  Je'hQ  drew  a  bow  with 
his  full  strength,  and  smote  J£- 
hS'ram  between  his  arms,  and 
the  arrow  went  out  at  his  heart, 
and  he  sunk  down  in  his  chariot 

25  Then  said  Je'hu  to  Bldlcar 
his  captain,  Take  up,  and  cast 
him  in  the  portion  of  the  field 
of  Nalrtth  the  JfcVre-el-ite :  for 
remember  how  that,  when  I  and 
thou  rode  together  after  Aliao 
his  father,  the  Ja>bd  laid  this 
burden  upon  him ; 

26  Surely  I  have  seen  yester- 
day the  blood  of  Nfi'bdth,  and 
the  blood  of  his  sons,  saith  the 


Lord;  and  I  will  requite  thee 
in  this  plat,  saith  the  Lord.  Now 
therefore  take  and  cast  him  in- 
to the  plat  of  ground,  accord- 
ing to  the  word  of  the  Lord. 
27  If  But  when  A-ha-zi'ah  the 
king  of  Jii'dah  saw  this,  he  fled 
by  the  way  of  the  garden  house. 
And  Je'hu  followed  after  him, 
and  said,  Smite  him  also  in  the 
chariot.   And  they  did  so  at 


the  going  up  to  Gflr,  which  is 
bylble-fim.    And   he   fl<  ' 
Me-gid'dS,  and  died  there. 

28  And  his  servants  carried 
him  in  a  chariot  to  Je-ru'sa-lSm, 
and  buried  him  in  his  sepulchre 
with  his  fathers  in  the  city  of 
Dfi'vid. 

29  And  in  the  eleventh  year 
of  JO'ram  the  son  of  ATiftb  be- 
gan A-ha-zi'ah  to  reign  over 
Ju'dah. 

30  IT  And  when  Je'hu  was 
come  to  JeVre-el,  Jez'e-bel  heard 
of  it ;  and  she  painted  her  face, 
and  tired  her  head,  and  looked 
out  at  a  window. 

31  And  as  Je'hQ  entered  in  at 
the  gate,  she  said.  Had  Zlm'ri 
peace,  who  slew  his  master? 

32  And  he  lifted  up  his  face 
to  the  window,  and  said,  Who  is 
on  my  side?  who?  And  there 
looked  out  to  him  two  or  three 
eunuchs. 

33  And  he  said,  Throw  her 
down.  So  they  threw  her  down 
and  some  of  her  blood  was 
sprinkled  on  the  wall,  and  on 
the  horses:  and  he  trode  her 
under  foot 

34  And  when  he  was  come  in, 
he  did  eat  and  drink,  and  said, 
Go,  see  now  this  cursed  wom- 
an, and  bury  her:  for  she  is  a 
king's  daughter. 

35  And  they  went  to  bury  her 
but  they  found  no  more  of  her 
than  the  skull,  and  the  feet,  and 
the  palms  of  her  hands. 

36  Wherefore  they  came  again, 
and  told  him.  And  he  said,  This 
is  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which 
he  spake  by  his  servant  £-li'jah 
the  Tish'blte,  saving,  In  the  por- 
tion of  JeVre-el  shall  dogs  eat 
the  flesh  of  JeVe-bel 

37  And  the  carcase  of  JeVe- 
bel  shall  be  as  dung  upon  the 
face  of  the  field  in  the  portion 
of  JeV  re-el ;  so  that  they  shall 
not  say,  This  is  JeVe-bel

mi'rVa,  unto  the  rulers  of  JeV- 
re-el,  to  the  elders,  and  to  them 
that  brought  up  A'hftb's  chil- 
dren, saying, 

2  Now  as  soon  as  this  letter 
cometh  to  you,  seeing  your  mas- 
ter's sons  are  with  you,  and 
there  are  with  you  chariots 
and  horses,  a  fenced  city  also, 
and  armour; 

3  Look  even  out  the  best  and 
meetest  of  jour  master's  sons, 
and  set  htm  on  his  father's 
throne,  and  fight  for  your  mas- 
ter's house. 

4  But  ther  were  exceedingly 
afraid,  and  said,  Behold,  two 
kings  stood  not  before  him: 
how  then  shall  we  stand  ? 

5  And  he  that  was  over  the 
house,  and  he  that  was  over  the 
city,  the  elders  also,  and  the 
bringers  up  of  the  children, 
sent  to  Je'hu,  saying,  We  are 
thy  servants,  and  will  do  all 
that  thou  shalt  bid  us ;  we  will 
not  make  any  king:  do  thou 
that  which  is  good  in  thine 
eyes. 

6  Then  he  wrote  a  letter  the 
second  time  to  them,  saving,  If 
ye  be  mine,  and  jf  ye  will  heark- 
en unto  my  voice,  take  ye  the 
heads  of  the  men  your  master's 
sons,  and  come  to  me  to  JeV- 
re-el  by  to  morrow  this  time. 
Now  the  king's  sons,  being  sev- 
enty persons,  were  with  the 

freat  men  of  the  city,  which 
rought  them  up. 

7  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  letter  came  to  them,  that 
they  took  the  king's  sons,  and 
slew  seventy  persons,  and  put 
their  heads  in  baskets,  and  sent 
him  them  to  JeVre-el. 

8  And  there  came  a  messen- 
ger, and  told  him,  saying,  They 
have  brought  the  heads  of  the 
kins'*  sons.  And  he  said.  Lay 
ye  them  in  two  heaps  at  the  en- 
tering in  of  the  gate  until  the 
morning. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  that  he  went  out,  and 
stood,  and  said  to  all  the  peo- 
ple, Ye  be  righteous:  behold,  I 
conspired  against  my  master, 
and  slew  him :  but  who  slew  all 
these? 

10  Know  now  that  there  shall 
fall  unto  the  earth  nothing  of 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  which 
the  Lord  spake  concerning  the 
house  of  Alifib:  for  the  Lord 
hath  done  that  which  he  spake 
by  his  servant  E-li'jah. 

11  So  Jeofail  slew  all  that  re- 
mained of  the  house  of  AliSb 
in  JeVre-el,  and  all  his  great 
men,  and  his  kinsfolks,  and  his 


priests,  until  he  left  him  none 
remaining. 

12  1T  And  he  arose  and  de- 
parted, and  came  to  SS-ma'ri-a. 
And  as  he  was  at  the  shearing 
house  in  the  way, 

13  Je'hu  met  with  the  breth- 
ren of  A-ha-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah, 
andsaid,Whoareye?  And  they 
answered,  We  are  the  brethren 
of  A-ha-zTah ;  and  we  go  down 
to  salute  the  children  of  the 
king  and  the  children  of  the 
queen. 

14  And  he  said,  Take  them 
alive.  And  they  took  them 
alive,  and  slew  them  at  the  pit 
of  the  shearing  house,  even  two 
and  forty  men ;  neither  left  he 
any  of  them. 

15  IT  And  when  he  was  de- 
parted thence,  he  lighted  on 
JMidn'a-d&b  the  son  of  Re'ch&b 
coming  to  meet  him :  and  he  i 
luted  him,  and  said  to  him,  Is 
thine  heart  right,  as  my  heart  is 
with  thy  heart  ?  And  Jfc-hSn'a- 
dftb  answered.  It  is.  If  it  be, 
give  me  thine  hand.  And  he 
gave  him  his  hand;  and  he 
took  him  up  to  him  into  the 
chariot 

16  And  he  said,  Come  with  me, 
and  see  my  zeal  for  the  Lord. 
So  they  made  him  ride  in  his 
chariot 

17  And  when  he  came  to  S5- 
m&'rfa,  he  slew  all  that  re- 
mained unto  ATiab  in  Sa-ma'- 
ri-a,  till  he  had  destroyed  him, 
according  to  the  saying  of  the 
Lord,  which  he  spake  to  £-li'- 
jah. 

18  1T  And  Je"hu  gathered  all 
the  people  together,  and  said 
unto  them,  A1i£b  served  Ba'al  a 
little ;  but  Je'hu  shall  serve  him 
much. 

19  Now  therefore  call  unto  me 
all  the  prophets  of  Ba'al,  all  his 
servants,  and  all  his  priests ;  let 
none  be  wanting:  for  I  have  a 
great  sacrifice  to  do  to  Ba'al; 
whosoever  shall  be  wanting,  he 
shall  not  live.  But  Je'hu  did  it 
in  subtilty,  to  the  intent  that  he 
might  destroy  the  worshippers 
of  Ba'al. 

20  And  JS'ha  said,  Proclaim  a 
solemn  assembly  for  Ba'al.  And 
they  proclaimed  it 

21  And  Je'hu  sent  through  all 
Is/ra-el :  and  all  the  worshippers 
of  Ba'al  came,  so  that  there  was 
not  a  man  left  that  came  not 
And  they  came  into  the  house 
of  Ba'al ;  and  the  house  of  Ba'al 
was  full  from  one  end  to  an- 
other. 

22  And  he  said  unto  him  that 
was  over  the  vestry,  Bring  forth

vestments  for  all  the  worship-

them  forth  vestments. 

23  And  Jfilifl  went,  and  J€- 
hdn'a-dftb  the  son  of  Re'chfib, 
into  the  house  of  Ba'al,  and  said 
unto  the  worshippers  of  Ba'al, 
Search,  and  look  that  there  be 
here  with  you  none  of  the  serv- 
ants of  the  Lord,  but  the  wor- 
shippers of  Ba'al  only. 

24  And  when  they  went  in  to 
offer  sacrifices  and  burnt  offer- 
ings; Je'hu  appointed  fourscore 
men  without,  and  said,  if  any 
of  the  men  whom  I  have  brought 
into  your  hands  escape,  he  that 
letteth  him  go,  his  life  shall  be 
for  the  life  of  him. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon 
as  he  had  made  an  end  of  offer- 
ing the  burnt  offering,  that  Je'- 
hu1 said  to  the  guard  and  to  the 
captains,  Go  in,  and  slay  them ; 
let  none  come  forth.  And  they 
smote  them  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword;  and  the  guard  and  the 
captains  cast  them  out,  and  went 
to  the  city  of  the  house  of  Ba'al. 

26  And  they  brought  forth  the 
images  out  of  the  house  of  Ba'al, 
and  burned  them. 

27  And  they  brake  down  the 
image  of  Ba'al,  and  brake  down 
the  house  of  Ba'al,  and  made  it 
a  draught  house  unto  this  day. 

28  Thus  Je'hu  destroyed  Ba'al 
out  of  Is'ra-el. 

29  Howbeit  from  the  sins  of 
Jer-o-bO'am  the  son  of  Ne'bfit, 
who  made  Is/ra-el  to  sin,  Je"ha 
departed  not  from  after  them, 
to  wit,  the  golden  calves  that 
were  in  BSth'-el,  and  that  were 
in  Dan. 

50  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Je'hu;  Because  thou  hast  done 
well  in  executing  that  which  is 
right  in  mine  eyes,  and  hast 
done  unto  the  house  of  A'h&b 
according  to  all  that  was  in 
mine  heart,  thy  children  of  the 
fourth  generation  shall  sit  on 
the  throne  of  ls/ra-el. 

31  But  Je'hu  took  no  heed  to 
walk  in  the  law  of  the  Lord  God 
of  Is/ra-el  with  all  his  heart :  for 
he  departed  not  from  the  sins  of 
Jer-o-b5'am,  which  made  Is/ra-el 
to  sin. 

32  11  In  those  days  the  Lord 
began  to  cut  Is'ra-el  short:  and 
Hftz'a-el  smote  them  in  all  the 
coasts  of  Is'ra-el ; 

33  From  Jdr'dan  eastward,  all 
the  land  of  Gil'e-ad,  the  Gad'- 
ites,  and  the  Reu/ben-ftes,  and 
the  Ma-nSs'sites,  from  Ar'o-Cr, 
which  is  by  the  river  Ar'nOn, 
even  Gil'e-ad  and  Bfi'shfin. 

34  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 


Je^hO,  and  all  that  he  did,  and 
all  his  might,  are  they  not  writ- 
ten in  the  book  of  the  chronicles 
of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  ? 

35  And  Je'hu  slept  with  his 
fathers:  and  they  buried  him 
in  Sa-ma'ri-a.  And  Je-he'a-naz 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

36  And  the  time  that  jrhtt 
reigned  over  Is'ra-el  in  Sfi-ma"- 
rl-a  was  twenty  and  eight  years. 

CHAPTER  11 

Joash  saved  from  Athaliah's  mas- 
sacre :  4  he  %s  made  king.  13  Atha- 
liah  slain.  17  Jehoiada  restores 
God's  worship, 

AND  when  Ath-a-li'ah  the 
mother  of  A-ha-ri'ah  saw 
that  her  son  was  dead,  she  arose 
and  destroyed  all  the  seed  royal. 

2  But  Je-hdsh'e-ba,  the  daugh- 
ter of  king  JS'ram,  sister  of 
A-ha-zi'ah,  took  J5'ash  the  son 
of  A-ha-zi'ah,  and  stole  him  from 
among  the  king's  sons  which 
were  slain ;  and  they  hid  him, 
even  him  and  his  nurse,  in  the 
bedchamber  from  Ath-a-H'ah,  so 
that  he  was  not  slain. 

3  And  he  was  with  her  hid  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord  six  years. 
And  Ath-a-H'ah  did  reign  over 
the  land. 

4  IF  And  the  seventh  year  J£- 
hoi'a-da  sent  and  fetched  the 
rulers  over  hundreds,  with  the 
captains  and  the  guard,  and 
brought  them  to  him  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  made  a 
covenant  with  them,  and  took 
an  oath  of  them  in  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  shewed  them  the 
king's  son. 

5  And  he  commanded  them, 
saying,  This  is  the  thing  that 
ye  shall  do;  A  third  part  of  you 
that  enter  in  on  the  sabbath 
shall  even  be  keepers  of  the 
watch  of  the  king's  house; 

6  And  a  third  part  shall  be  at 
the  gate  of  Sur;  and  a  third 
part  at  the  gate  behind  the 
guard:  so  shall  ye  keep  the 
watch  of  the  house,  that  it  be 
not  broken  down. 

7  And  two  parts  of  all  you 
that  go  forth  on  the  sabbath, 
even  they  shall  keep  the  watch 
of  the  house  of  the  Lord  about 
the  king. 

8  And  ye  shall  compass  the 
king  round  about,  every  man 
with  his  weapons  in  his  hand: 
and  he  that  cometh  within  the 
ranges,  let  him  be  slain:  and 
be  ye  with  the  king  as  he  goeth 
out  and  as  he  cometh  in. 

9  And  the  captains  over  the 
hundreds  did  according  to  all 
things  that  JS-hoi'a-da  the 
priest  commanded:   and  they

took  every  man  his  men  that 
were  to  come  in  on  the  sabbath, 
with  them  that  should  go  out 
on  the  sabbath,  and  came  to 
Jg-hoi'a-da  the  priest 

10  And  to  the  captains  over 
hundreds  did  the  priest  give  king 
Da'vid's  spears  and  shields,  that 
were  in  the  temple  of  the  Lord. 

11  And  the  guard  stood,  every 
man  with  his  weapons  in  his 
hand,  round  about  the  king, 
from  the  right  corner  of  the 
temple  to  the  left  corner  of  the 
temple,  along  by  the  altar  and 
the  temple. 

12  And  he  brought  forth  the 
king's  son,  and  put  the  crown 
upon  him,  and  gave  him  the 
testimony;  and  they  made  him 
king,  and  anointed  him;  and 
they  clapped  their  hands,  and 
said,  God  save  the  king. 

13  %  And  when  Ath-a-irah 
heard  the  noise  of  the  guard 
and  of  the  people,  she  came  to 
the  people  into  the  temple  of 
the  Lord. 

14  And  when  she  looked,  be- 
hold, the  king  stood  by  a  pillar, 
as  the  manner  was,  and  the 
princes  and  the  trumpeters  by 
the  king,  and  all  the  people  of 
the  land  rejoiced,  and  blew  with 
trumpets:  and  Ath-a-li'ah  rent 
her  clothes,  and  cried,  Treason, 
Treason. 

15  But  JS-hoi'a-da  the  priest 
commanded  the  captains  of  the 
hundreds,  the  officers  of  the 
host,  and  said  unto  them,  Have 
her  forth  without  the  ranges 
and  him  that  followeth  her  kill 
with  the  sword.  For  the  priest 
had  said,  Let  her  not  be  slain 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

16  And  they  laid  hands  on 
her;  and  she  went  by  the  way 
by  the  which  the  horses  came 
into  the  king's  house :  and  there 
was  she  slain. 

17  If  And  J£-hoi'a-da  made  a 
covenant  between  the  Lord  and 
the  king  and  the  people,  that 
they  should  be  the  Lord's  peo- 
ple ;  between  the  king  also  and 
the  people. 

18  And  all  the  people  of  the 
land  went  into  the  house  of 
Bi'al,  and  brake  it  down;  his 
altars  and  his  images  brake 
they  in  pieces  thoroughly,  and 
slew  Mat'tan  the  priest  of  Ba'- 
al  before  the  altars.  And  the 
priest  appointed  officers  over 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

19  And  he  took  the  rulers  over 
hundreds,  and  the  captains,  and 
the  guard,  and  all  the  people 
of  the  land ;  and  they  brought 
down  the  king  from  the  house 


of  the  Lord,  and  came  by  the 
way  of  the  gate  of  the  guard  to 
the  king's  house.  And  he  sat 
on  the  throne  of  the  kings. 

20  And  all  the  people  of  the 
land  rejoiced,  and:  the  city  was 
in  quiet :  and  they  slew  Ath-a- 
li'ah  with  the  sword  beside  the 
king's  house. 

21  Seven  years  old  was  J&- 
hS'flsh  when  he  began  to  reign. 

CHAPTER  12 

Jehoaah  rtign*  well  %ohiU  Muriada 
livid:    19  hei» 


IN  the  seventh  year  of  Jc"hu 
J£-h5'fish  began  to  reign; 
and  forty  years  reigned  he  in 
Jg-ru'sft-lem.  And  his  mother's 
name  was  Zibl-ah  of  BCer- 
she'ba. 

2  And  Je-hft'&sh  did  that 
which  was  right  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord  all  his  days  where- 
in Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest  instruct- 
ed him. 

3  But  the  high  places  were 
not  taken  away:  the  people 
still  sacrificed  and  burnt  in- 
cense in  the  high  places. 

4  f  And  JS-h5'ash  said  to  the 
priests,  All  the  money  of  the 
dedicated  things  that  is  brought 
into  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
even  the  money  of  every  one 
that  passeth  the  account,  the 
money  that  every  man  is  set  at, 
and  all  the  money  that  cometh 
into  any  man's  heart Jto  bring 
into  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

5  Let  the  priests  take  it  to 
them,  every  man  of  his  ac- 
quaintance: and  let  them  re- 
pair the  breaches  of  the  house, 
wheresoever  any  breach  shall 
be  found. 

6  But  it  was  so,  that  in  the 
three  and  twentieth  year  of 
king  Je-hft'Bsh  the  priests  had 
not  repaired  the  breaches  of 
the  house. 

7  Then  king  J6-h5'fish  called 
for  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest,  and 
the  other  priests,  and  said  un- 
to them,  Why  repair  ye  not 
the  breaches  of  the  house? 
now  therefore  receive  no  more 
money  of  your  acquaintance, 
but  deliver  it  for  the  breaches 
of  the  house. 

8  And  the  priests  consented  to 
receive  no  more  money  of  the 
people,  neither  to  repair  the 
breaches  of  the  house. 

9  But  JS-hoi'a-da  the  priest 
took  a  chest,  and  bored  a  hole 
in  the  lid  of  it,  and  set  it  beside 
the  altar,  on  the  right  side  as 
one  cometh  into  the  house  of 
the  Lord  :  and  the  priests  that 
kept  the  door  put  therein  all

the  money  that  was  brought  in- 
to the  house  of  the  Lord. 

10  And  it  was  so,  when  they 
saw  that  there  was  much  mon- 
ey in  the  chest,  that  the  king's 
scribe  and  the  high  priest  came 
up,  and  they  put  up  in  bags,  and 
told  the  money  that  was  found 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

11  And  they  gave  the  money, 
being  told,  into  the  hands  of 
them  that  did  the  work,  that 
had  the  oversight  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord:  and  they  laid  it 
out  to  the  carpenters  and  build- 
ers,that  wrought  upon  the  house 
of  the  Lord, 

12  And  to  masons,  and  hewers 
of  stone,  and  to  buy  timber 
and  hewed  stone  to  repair  the 
breaches  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  for  all  that  was  laid 
out  for  the  house  to  repair  it. 

13  Howbeit  there  were  not 
made  for  the  house  of  the  Lord 
bowls  of  silver,  snuffers,  basons, 
trumpets,  any  vessels  of  gold,  or 
vessels  of  silver,  of  the  money 
that  was  brought  into  the  house 
of  the  Lord  : 

14  But  they  gave  that  to  the 
workmen,  and  repaired  there- 
with the  house  of  the  Lord. 

15  Moreover  they  reckoned 
not  with  the  men,  into  whose 
hand  they  delivered  the  money 
to  be  bestowed  on  workmen : 
for  they  dealt  faithfully. 

16  The  trespass  money  and  sin 
money  was  not  brought  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord  :  it  was  the 
priests'. 

17  IF  Then  HaVa-el  king  of 
Sjhrl-a  went  up,  and  fought 
against  Gath,  and  took  it :  and 
HaVa-el  set  his  face  to  go  up 
to  J6Tu's&-l£m. 

18  And  Je-hd'&sh  king  of  Ju'- 
dah  took  all  the  hallowed  things 
that  JS-hdsh'a-ph&t,  and  J£-h5'- 
ram,  and  A-ha-zi'ah,  his  fathers, 
kings  of  Ju'dah,  had  dedicated, 
and  his  own  hallowed  things, 
and  all  the  gold  that  was  found 
in  the  treasures  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  in  the  king's 
house,  and  sent  it  to  HSz'a-el 
king  of  Syrlha:  and  he  went 
away  from  J&ru'sa-lem. 

19  IT  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Jd'ash,  and  all  that  he  did,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  book  of 
the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 
Ju'dah? 

20  And  his  servants  arose,  and 
made  a  conspiracy,  and  slew  Jd'- 
ash in  the  house  of  MIT16,  which 
goeth  down  to  Silla. 

21  For  Jds'a-char  the  son  of 
Shlm'e-fith,  and  Je-hoVa-bfid  the 
son  of  Sh6'm€r,  his  servants, 


smote  him,  and  he  died;  and 
they  buried  him  with  his  fa- 
thers in  the  city  of  Da'vid :  and 
Am-a-ii'ah  his  son  reigned  in 
his  stead. 

CHAPTER  13 

Jekoahaz*$  wicked  reign  over  Israel : 
9  Jehoash  eueeeede  him  ;  13  Jerobo- 
am succeed*  him.  20  Elisha'$  death. 
IN  the  three  and  twentieth 
year  of  Jd'Ssh  the  son  of 
A-ha-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  J£-hd'- 
a-h&z  the  son  of  JeTiu  began  to 
reign  oyer  lg'ra-el  in  Sfi-mi'ri'a, 
ana  reigned  seventeen  years. 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
and  followed  the  sins  of  Jer-o- 
bo'am  the  son  of  NS'bfit,  which 
made  lg'ra-el  to  sin;  he  departed 
not  therefrom. 

3  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  I s/ra-el,  and 
he  delivered  them  into  the  hand 
of  HaVa-el  king  of  SvrK-a,  and 
into  the  hand  of  Ben-ha'd&d  the 
son  of  H&z'a-el,  all  their  days. 

4  And  Je-ho'a-hfiz  besought  the 
Lord,  and  the  Lord  hearkened 
unto  him :  for  he  saw  the  op- 
pression of  lg'ra-el,  because  the 
king  of  Syrf-a  oppressed  them. 

5  (And  the  Lord  gave  lg'ra-el 
a  saviour,  so  that  they  went  out 
from  under  the  hand  of  the 
Syrl-ang;  and  the  children  of 
lg'ra-el  dwelt  in  their  tents,  as 
beforetime. 

6  Nevertheless  they  departed 
not  from  the  sins  of  the  house 
of  JSr-o-bd'am,  who  made  lg'ra-el 
sin,  but  walked  therein:  and 
there  remained  the  grove  also 
in  SS-mi'rl-a.) 

7  Neither  did  he  leave  of  the 

Seople  to  JS-hd'a-haz  but  fifty 
orsemen,  and  ten  chariots,  and 
ten  thousand  footmen ;  for  the 
king  of  Syrf-a  had  destroyed 
them,  and  had  made  them  like 
the  dust  by  threshing. 

8  IT  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  Je-ho'a-haz,  and  all  that  he 
did,  and  his  might,  are  they 
not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  lg'- 
ra-el? 

9  And  Je-h5'a-hSi  slept  with 
his  fathers;  and  they  buried 
him  in  Sa-m&'ri-a:  and  Jd'ash 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

10  IT  In  the  thirty  and  seventh 
year  of  JO'ftsh  king  of  Ju'dah 
began  J£-h5'ash  the  son  of  J£- 
hd'a-haz  to  reign  over  lg'ra-el  in 
Sa-ma'ri-a,  ana  reigned  sixteen 
years. 

11  And  he  did  that  which 
was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  ;  he  departed  not  from  all 
the  sins  of  Jer-o-bd'am  the  son

of  NeVbat,  who  made  ls'ra-el  sin : 
but  he  walked  therein. 

12  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Jffash,  and  all  that  he  did,  and 
his  might  wherewith  he  fought 
against  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of  Jfi'- 
dah,  are  they  not  written  in  the 
book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Is'ra-el? 

13  And  J6'2sh  slept  with  his 
fathers;  and  Jer-o-bd'am  sat  up- 
on his  throne:  andJG'ash  was 
buried  in  Sa-mfi'ri-a  with  the 
kings  of  Is'ra-el. 

14  IT  Now  fi-li'sha  was  fallen 
sick  of  his  sickness  whereof  he 
died.  And  JO'fish  the  king  of 
Is'ra-el  came  down  unto  him, 
and  wept  over  his  face,  and 
said,  0  my  father,  my  father, 
the  chariot  of  Is'ra-el,  and  the 
horsemen  thereof. 

15  And  fi-li'sha  said  unto  him, 
Take  bow  and  arrows.  And  he 
took  unto  him  bow  and  arrows. 

16  And  he  said  to  the  king  of 
Is'ra-el,  Put  thine  hand  upon 
the  bow.  And  he  put  his  hand 
upon  it:  and  fi-llsha  put  his 
hands  upon  the  king's  hands. 

17  And  he  said,  Open  the  win- 
dow eastward.  And  he  opened 
it.  Then  fi4i'sha  said,  Shoot 
And  he  shot.  And  he  said,  The 
arrow  of  the  Lord's  deliverance, 
and  the  arrow  of  deliverance 
from  Syrf-a:  for  thou  shalt 
smite  the  S^rl-ans.  in  A'phek, 
till  thou  have  consumed  them. 

18  And  he  said,  Take  the  ar- 
rows. And  he  took  them.  And 
he  said  unto  the  king  of  Is'ra-el, 
Smite  upon  the  ground.  And  he 
smote  thrice,  and  stayed. 

19  And  the  man  of  God  was 
wroth  with  him,  and  said, 
Thou  shouldest  have  smitten 
five  or  six  times;  then  hadst 
thou  smitten  STri-a  till  thou 
hadst  comsumed  it:  whereas 
now  thou  shalt  smite  Sjhrl-a 
but  thrice. 

20  IF  And  fi-li'sha  died,  and 
they  buried  him.  And  the  bands 
of  the  MS'ab-ltes  invaded  the 
land  at  the  coming  in  of  the 
year. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
they  were  burying  a  man,  that, 
behold,  they  spied  a  band  of 
men;  and  they  cast  the  man 
into  the  sepulchre  of  fi-ti'sha : 
and  when  the  man  was  let  down, 
and  touched  the  bones  of  fi-li'- 
sha, he  revived,  and  stood  up  on 
his  feet. 

22  IF  But  HaVa-el  king  of  S^- 
i-a  oppressed  Is'ra-el  allthe  days 
of  J&d'a-hftz. 

23  And  the  Lord  was  gracious 
unto  them,  and  had  compassion 


on  them,  and  had  respect  unto 
them,  because  of  his  covenant 
with  A'bra-hftm,  I'saac,  and  J5'- 
cob,  and  would  not  destroy  them, 
neither  cast  he  them  from  his 
presence  as  yet 

24  So  HaVa-el  king  of  Sjhrl-a 
died;  and  Beii-hfl'dad  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

25  And  Jft-h&'ash  the  son  of 
JS-hS'a-has  took  again  out  of 
the  hand  of  Ben-hft'd&d  the  son 
of  HaVa-el  the  cities,  which  he 
had  taken  out  of  the  hand  of 
Je-h6'a-haz  his  father  by  war. 
Three  times  did  JG'fish  beat 
him,  and  recovered  the  cities  of

IN  the  second  year  of  JG'ash 
son  of  J£-h5'a-hftz  king  of 
Is'ra-el  reigned  Am-a-zf'ah  the 
son  of  Jd'fish  king  of  Jfl'dah. 

2  He  was  twenty  and  five  years 
old  when  he  began  to  reign,  and 
reigned  twenty  and  nine  years 
in  J€-ru/s5-J£m.  And  his  moth- 
er's name  was  JS-hd-ad'dan  of 
J£-ru>a-18m. 

3  And  he  did  that  which  was 
right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
vet  not  like  Dfi'vid  his  father : 
he  did  according  to  all  things  as 
JS'ash  his  father  did. 

4  Howbeit  the  high  places 
were  not  taken  away:  as  yet 
the  people  did  sacrifice  and 
burnt  incense  on  the  high 
places. 

5  ,1T  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
soon  as  the  kingdom  was  con- 
firmed in  his  hand,  that  he  slew 
his  servants  which  had  slain  the 
king  his  father. 

6  But  the  children  of  the  mur- 
derers he  slew  not:  according 
unto  that  which  is  written  in 
the  book  of  the  law  of  Md'ses, 
wherein  the  Lord  commanded, 
saying,  The  fathers  shall  not  be 
put  to  death  for  the  children, 
nor  the  children  be  put  to  death 
for  the  fathers ;  but  every  man 
shall  be  put  to  death  for  his 
own  sin. 

7  He  slew  of  fi'dom  in  the 
valley  of  salt  ten  thousand,  and 
took  Selah  by  war,  and  called 
the  name  of  it  JGk'the-el  unto 
this  dav. 

8  H  Then  Aifra-zTah  sent  mes- 
sengers to  J£-h5'8sh,  the  son  of 
JS-hd'a-hfiz  son  of  Jrhfl,  king 
of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  Come,  let  us

Ia'ra-el  sent  to  Anva-ei'ah  king 
of  Ju'dah,  Baying,  The  thistle 
that  was  in  LSba-non  sent  to 
the  cedar  that  was  in  L£b'a-non, 
saying,  Give  thy  daughter  to  my 
son  to  wife:  and  there  passed 
by  a  wild  beast  that  was  in 
LeVa-non,  and  trode  down  the 
thistle. 

10  Thou  hast  indeed  smitten 
E'dom,  and  thine  heart  hath 
lifted  thee  up :  glory  of  this, 
and  tarry  at  home:  for  why 
shouldest  thou  meddle  to  thy 
hurt,  that  thou  shouldest  fall, 
even  thou,  and  Ju'dah  with 
thee? 

11  But  Am-a-zi  ah  would  not 
hear.  Therefore  JS-ho'&sh  king 
of  Ig'ra-el  went  up ;  and  he  and 
Am-a-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  looked 
one  another  in  the  face  at  BSth- 
sh€'mesh,  which  belongeth  to 
Ju'dah. 

12  And  Ju'dah  was  put  to  the 
worse  before  Ia'ra-el ;  and  they 
fled  every  man  to  their  tents. 

13  And  JS-ho'fish  king  of  Ig'ra- 
el  took  Am-a-si'ah  king  of  Ju'- 
dah, the  son  of  J£-h5'fish  the  son 
of  A-ha-zi'ah,  at  B£th-sh£'mesh, 
and  came  to  J£-ru'sa-lem,  and 
brake  down  the  wall  of  J€-ru'- 
sa-lem  from  the  gate  of  £'phr&- 
!m  unto  the  corner  gate,  four 
hundred  cubits. 

14  And  he  took  all  the  gold 
and  silver,  and  all  the  vessels 
that  were  found  in  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  in  the  treasures 
of  the  king's  house,  and  hos- 
tages, and  returned  to  Sa-ma'- 
ri-a. 

15  IT  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  J£-h5'ash  which  he  did,  and 
his  might,  and  how  he  fought 
with  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah, 
are  they  not  written  in  the 
book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Ia'ra-el? 

16  And  Je-ho'&sh  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  was  buried  in  Sa- 
ma'rl-a  with  the  kings  of  Ia'- 
ra-el; and  Jer-o-b6'am  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

17  H  And  Am-a-zi'ah  the  son 
of  Jd'ash  king  of  Ju'dah  lived 
after  the  death  of  Je-hd'ash  son 
of  Je-ho'a-haz  king  of  Ia'ra-el 
fifteen  years. 

18  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Am-a-zi'ah,  are  they  not  writ- 
ten in  the  book  of  the  chronicles 
of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah? 

19  Now  they  made  a  conspir- 
acy against  him  in  J£-ru's&-lem : 
and  he  fled  to  Lfi'chish;  but 
they  sent  after  him  to  La'chish, 
and  slew  him  there. 

20  And  they  brought  him  on 
horses:  and  he  was  buried  at 


J£-ru'sa-lem  with  his  fathers  in 
the  city  of  Di'vid. 

21  IT  And  all  the  people  of  Ju'- 
dah took  Az-a-ri'ah,  which  was 
sixteen  years  old,  and  made 
him  king  instead  of  his  father 
Am-a-zi'ah. 

22  He  built  ETlath,  and  re- 
stored it  to  Ju'dah,  after  that 
the  king  slept  with  his  fathers. 

23  IT  In  the  fifteenth  year  of 
Am-a-zi'ah  the  son  of  JS'ash 
king  of  Ju'dah  Jer-c-bft'am  the 
son  of  Jd'ash  king  of  Ia'ra-el  be- 
gan to  reign  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and 
reigned  forty  and  one  years. 

24  And  he  aid  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  :  he 
departed  not  from  all  the  sins  of 
Jer-o-b5'am  the  son  of  Ntfb&t, 
who  made  Ia'ra-el  to  sin. 

25  He  restored  the  coast  of 
la'ra-el  from  the  entering  of 
Hi'math  unto  the  sea  of  the 
plain,  according  to  the  word  of 
the  Lord  God  of  Ia'ra-el,  which 
he  spake  by  the  hand  of  his  serv- 
ant Jo'nah,  the  son  of  A-mit'- 
ta-i,  the  prophet,  which  was  of 
Gftth-hrpher. 

26  For  the  Lord  saw  the  afflic- 
tion of  Ia'ra-el,  that  it  was  very 
bitter:  for  there  was  not  any 
shut  up,  nor  any  left,  nor  any 
helper  for  Is/ra-eL 

27  And  the  Lord  said  not  that 
he  would  blot  out  the  name  of 
Ia'ra-el  from  under  heaven :  but 
he  saved  them  by  the  hand  of 
Jer-o-bd'am  the  son  of  Jd'ash. 

28  IT  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  Jer-o-bo'am,  and  all  that  he 
did,  and  his  might,  how  he 
warred,  and  how  ne  recovered 
Da-mfis'cus,  and  Ha'math,  wAicA 
belonged  to  Ju'dah,  for  Ia'ra-el, 
are  they  not  written  in  the 
book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Ia'ra-el? 

29  And  Jer-o-bo'am  slept  with 
his  fathers,  even  with  the  kings 
of  Ia'ra-el ;  and  Z&ch-a-ri'ah  his 
son  reigned  in  his  stead.

right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  his  father 
Am-a-d'ah  had  done; 

4  Save  that  the  high  places 
were  not  removed:  the  people 
sacrificed  and  burnt  incense 
still  on  the  high  places. 

5  1T  And  the  Lord  smote  the 
king,  so  that  he  was  a  leper 
unto  the  day  of  his  death,  and 
dwelt  in  a  several  house.  And 
Jd'tham  the  king's  son  was  over 
the  house,  judging  the  people 
of  the  land. 

6  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Ax-a-rfah,  and  all  that  he  did, 
are  they  not  written  in  the 
hook  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Ju'dah? 

7  So  Az-a-ri'ah  slept  with  his 
fathers;  and  they  buried  him 
with  his  fathers  in  the  city  of 
Di'vid:  and  Jo'tham  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

8  IT  In  the  thirty  and  eighth 
year  of  Az-a-ri'ah  king  of  Ju'dah 
did  Zach-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Jer- 
o-b$'am  reign  over  Ia'ra-el  in 
Sa-ma'ri-a  six  months. 

9  And  he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
as  his  fathers  had  done :  he  de- 
parted not  from  the  sins  of  Jer- 
o-bd'am  the  son  of  Nt'b&t,  who 
made  If  're-el  to  sin. 

10  And  ShaTlum  the  son  of 
Jd'besh  conspired  against  him, 
and  smote  him  before  the  peo- 
ple, and  slew  him,  and  reigned 
d  his  stead. 

11  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Z&ch-a-ri'ah,  behold,  they  are 
written  in  the  book  of  the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  I&- 
ra-eL 

12  This  was  the  word  of  the 
Lord  which  he  spake  unto  J6'- 
hu,  saying,  Thy  sons  shall  sit  on 
the  throne  of  Ig'ra-el  unto  the 
fourth  generation.  And  so  it 
came  to  pass. 

13  IT  ShaTlum  the  son  of  Jfi' 
besh  began  to  reign  in  the  nine 
and  thirtieth  year  of  Oz-zi'ah 
long  of  Ju'dah;  and  he  reigned 
a  full  month  in  Sa-mft'ri-a. 

14  For  Men'a-hem  the  son  of 
Ga'di  went  up  from  Tir'zah,  and 
came  to  S&mft'rM,  and  smote 
Shftllum  the  son  of  JaTbesh  in 
Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  slew  him,  and 
reipned  in  his  stead. 

15  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
ShaTlum,  and  his  conspiracy 
which  he  made,  behold,  they 
are  written  in  the  book  of  the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is' 
ra-eL 

16  Then  Men'a-hem  smote 
Tiph'sah,  and   all   that  were 


from  Tir'zah:  because  they 
opened  not  to  him,  therefore 
he  smote  it ;  and  all  the  wom- 
en therein  that  were  with 
child  he  ripped  up. 

17  IT  In  the  nine  and  thirtieth 
year  of  Az-a-ri'ah  king  of  Ju'dah 
began  Men'a-hem  the  son  of 
Ga'di  to  reign  over  Is/ra-el,  and 
reigned  ten  years  in  Sa-mfi'rVa. 

18  And  he  did  that  which  woe 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord: 
he  departed  not  all  his  days 
from  tne  sins  of  JSr-o-bd'am  the 
son  of  Ne^bfit,  who  made  Is/ra-el 
to  sin. 

19  And  Pfil  the  king  of  As- 
sjrrl-a  came  against  the  land: 
and  Men'a-hem  gave  Pul  a  thou- 
sand talents  of  silver,  that  his 
hand  might  be  with  him  to  con- 
firm the  kingdom  in  his  hand. 

20  And  Men'a-hem  exacted  the 
money  of  Is/ra-el,  even  of  all  the 
mighty  men  of  wealth,  of  each 
man  fifty  shekels  of  silver,  to 

"lvc  to  the  king  of  As-sjrrl-a. 

» the  king  of  As-sjrl-a  turned 
back,  and  stayed  not  there  in 
the  land. 

21  If  And  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  Men'a-hem,  and  all  that  he 
did,  are  they  not  written  in  the 
book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Is/ra-el? 

22  And  Men'a-hem  slept  with 
his  fathers;  and  PSk-a-hi'ah  his 
son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

23  %  In  the  fiftieth  year  of 
Az-a-ri'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  Pelc-a- 
hi'ah  the  son  of  Men'a-hem  be- 
gan to  reign  over  Ia'ra-el  in 
Sa-ma'rI-a,  and  reigned  two 
years. 

24  And  he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord 
he  departed  not  from  the  sins  of 
Jer-o-bd'am  the  son  of  NCbfit, 
who  made  Ia'ra-el  to  sin. 

25  But  P€lcah  the  son  of  Rem- 
a-li'ah,  a  captain  of  his,  con 
spired  against  him,  and  smote 
him  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  in  the  palace 
of  the  king's  house,  witn  Ar/- 
gfib  and  A-ri'eh,  and  with  him 
fifty  men  of  the  Gil'e-AcVites : 
and  he  killed  him,  and  reigned 
in  his  room. 

26  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Pex-a-hi'ah,  and  all  that  he  did, 
behold,  they  are  written  in  the 
book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  la'ra-el. 

27  IF  In  the  two  and  fiftieth 

fear  of  Az-a-ri'ah  king  of  Ju'dah 
rkah  the  son  of  Kem-a-H'ah 
began  to  reign  over  Ia'ra-el  in 
Sa-mS'ri-e,  and  reigned  twenty 
years.

Lord:  he  departed  not  from 
the  sins  of  Jer-o-bd'am  the  son 
of  Ne'b&t,  who  made  Is/ra-el  to 
sin. 

29  In  the  days  of  Pe'kah  king 
of  la'ra-el  came  Tlglath-pi-lS - 
ser  king  of  As-syrf-a,  and  took 
I'jon,  and  AT>el-h8th-mS'a- 
chah,  and  Ja-nd'ah,  and  KS'- 
desh,  and  Ha'zor,  and  GU'e-fid, 
and  Gail-lee,  all  the  land  of 
Naph'ta-li,  and  carried  them 
captive  to  As-s^rt-a. 

30  Anc}  Ho-she'a  the  son  of 
£1ah  made  a  conspiracy  against 
Pe'kah  the  sqn  of  Rem-a-li'ah, 
and  smote  him,  and  slew  him, 
and  reigned  in  his  stead,  in  the 
twentieth  year  of  Jd'tham  the 
son  of  Oz-zi'ah. 

31  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Pe'kah,  and  all  that  he  did,  he- 
hold,  they  are  written  in  the 
book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  la'ra-el. 

32  Uln  the  second  year  of  Pe'- 
kah the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah  king 
of  la'ra-el  began  Jd'tham  the 
son  of  Oz-zi'an  king  of  Ju'dah 
to  reign. 

33  Five  and  twenty  years  old 
was  he  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  sixteen  years  in 
Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  his  mother's 
name  was  JS-ru/sha,  the  daugh- 
ter of  Zfi'dOk. 

34  And  he  did  that  which  was 
right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  : 
he  did  according  to  all  that  his 
father  Oz-oi'ah  had  done. 

35  Howbeit  the  high  places 
were  not  removed:  the  people 
sacrificed  and  burned  incense 
still  in  the  high  places.  He 
built  the  higher  gate  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

36  IT  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  Jo'tham,  and  all  that  he  did, 
are  they  not  written  in  the 
book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Ju'dah? 

37  In  those  days  the  Lord 
began  to  send  against  Ju'dah 
Revzin  the  king  of  S^rT-A,  and 
Pe'kah  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah. 

38  And  Jd'tham  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  was  buried  with  his 
fathers  in  the  city  of  Dfi'vid 
his  father:  and  A'hfiz  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  16 

Ahaz* 8  -wicked  reign  over  Judah  :  17 
he  spoils  the  temple:  20  Hezekiah 
succeeds  him, 

IN  the  seventeenth  year  of 
Pe'kah  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'- 
ah A'hfiz  the  son  of  Jd'tham 
king  of  Ju'dah  began  to  reign. 
2  Twenty  years  old  was  A'haz 
when  he  began  to  reign,  and 
reigned  sixteen  years  in  JS-ru'- 


sfi-lem,  and  did  not  that  which 
was  right  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  his  God,  like  Da'vid  his 
father. 

3  But  he  walked  in  the  way 
of  the  kings  of  Ig'ra-el,  yea,  and 
made  his  son  to  pass  through 
the  fire,  according  to  the  abom- 
inations of  the  heathen,  whom 
the  Lord  cast  out  from  before 
the  children  of  Is/ra-eL. 

4  And  he  sacrificed  and  burnt 
incense  in  the  high  places,  and 
on  the  hills,  and  under  every 
green  tree. 

5  IT  Then  Rrrin  king  of  Syr*- 
i-a  and  Pe'kah  son  of  Kem-a-H'- 
ah  king  of  la'ra-el  came  up  to 
J£-ru's£-lSm  to  war:  and  they 
besieged  A'haz,  but  could  not 
overcome  him. 

6  At  that  time  RS'xin  king  of 
Sjrrl-a  recovered  Elftth  to  Syr'- 
i-a,  and  drave  the  Jewa  from 
Elfith :  and  the  Syrf-ang  came 
to  Blfith,  and  dwelt  there  unto 
this  day. 

7  So  A'hfiz  sent  messengers 
to  Tlglath-pi-lg'ser  king  of  As- 
sf  t%4l,  saving,  I  am  thy  serv- 
ant and  thy  son :  come  up,  and 
save  me  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  Syrl-a,  and  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  king  of  la'ra-el, 
which  rise  up  against  me. 

8  And  A'hfiz  took  the  silver 
and  gold  that  was  found  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the 
treasures  of  the  king's  house, 
and  sent  it  for  a  present  to  the 
king  of  As-syrT-a. 

9  And  the  king  of  As-ejfrl-a 
hearkened  unto  him:  for  the 
kin£  of  As-syrf-a  went  up 
against  Dfi-mfis'cus,  and  took 
it,  and  carried  the  people  of  it 
captive  to  Kir,  and  slew  Re"zin. 

10  IT  And  king  A'haz  went  to 
DS-mfis'cus  to  meet  Tlglath- 
pl-le'aer  king  of  As-syrf-a,  and 
saw  an  altar  that  was  at  M- 
mSs'cus:  and  king  A'haz  sent 
to  U-ri'jah  the  priest  the  fash- 
ion of  the  altar,  and  the  pattern 
of  it,  according  to  all  the  work- 
manship thereof. 

11  And  U-ri'jah  the  priest 
built  an  altar  according  to  all 
that  king  A'hfiz  had  sent  from 
DS-mfis'cus:  so  U-ri'jah  the 
priest  made  it  against  king 
A'haz  came  from  DS-mfis'cus. 

12  And  when  the  king  was 
come  from  Dft-mfis'cus,  the  king 
saw  the  altar:  and  the  king  ap- 
proached to  the  altar,  and  of- 
fered thereon. 

13  And  he  burnt  his  burnt  of- 
fering and  his  meat  offering, 
and  poured  his  drink  offering, 
and  sprinkled  the  blood  of  his

14  And  he  brought  also  the 
hrasen  altar,  which  was  before 
the  Lord,  from  the  forefront  of 
the  house,  from  between  the 
altar  and  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  put  it  on  the  north  side  of 
the  altar. 

15  And  king  Alias  command- 
ed U-ri'jah  the  priest,  saying, 
Upon  the  great  altar  burn  the 
morning  burnt  offering,  and  the 
evening  meat  offering,  and  the 
king's  burnt  sacrifice,  and  his 
meat  offering,  with  the  burnt 
offering  of  all  the  people  of  the 
land,  and  their  meat  offering, 
and  their  drink  offerings;  and 
sprinkle  upon  it  all  the  blood  of 
the  burnt  offering;,  and  all  the 
blood  of  the  sacrifice :  and  the 
brasen  altar  shall  be  for  me  to 
enquire  by, 

16  Thus  did  U-ri'jah  the  priest, 
according  to  all  that  king  Alias 
commanded. 

17  IT  And  king  Alias  cut  off 
the  borders  of  the  bases,  and  re- 
moved the  laverfrom  off  them ; 
and  took  down  the  sea  from  off 
the  brasen  oxen  that  were  un- 
der it,  and  put  it  upon  a  pave- 
ment of  stones. 

18  And  the  covert  for  the  sab- 
bath that  they  had  built  in  the 
house,  and  the  king's  entry 
without,  turned  he  from  the 
house  of  the  Lord  for  the  king 
of  As-Bfrl-a. 

19  ITNow  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  Alias  which  he  did,  are  they 
not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'- 
dah? 

20  And  Alias  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  was  buried  with 
his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'- 
vid:  and  Hez-e-kl'ah  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  17 

Hoehea'e  wicked  reign.  5  Samaria 
taken,  and  Israel  for  their  sine  ear- 
Tied  captive, 

IN  the  twelfth  year  of  Alias 
kin;  of  Ju'dah  began  H6- 
sh€'a  the  son  of  £lah  to  reign 
in  S&-mA'ri-a  over  ls/ra-el  nine 
years. 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
but  not  as  the  kings  of  la'ra-el 
that  were  before  him. 

3  Against  him  came  up  Shal- 
man-Cger  king  of  As?sjrrl-a ;  and 
Hfi-she'a  became  his  servant, 
and  gave  him  presents. 

4  And  the  king  of  As-s^rl-a 
found  conspiracy  in  Hd-she'a: 
for  he  had  sent  messengers  to 
SO  king  of  E'fcjrpt,  and  brought 
no  present  to  the  king  of  As- 


sjrfl**,  as  he  had  done  year  by 
year:  therefore  the  king  of  As- 
syrl-a  shut  him  up,  and  bound 
him  in  prison. 

5  Then  the  king  of  As-sjprl-a 
came  up  throughout  all  the 
land,  ana  went  up  to  Sfi-mft'ri-a, 
and  besieged  it  three  years. 

6  In  the  ninth  year  of  H5- 
she'a  the  king  of  Xs-sjhrT-a  took 
SaVmft'ri-a,  and  carried  ls/ra-el 
away  into  As-st rl-a,  and  placed 
them  in  Halah  and  in  HS'bdr 
by  the  river  of  G5'zan,  and  in 
the  cities  of  the  Medea. 

7  For  so  it  was,  that  the  chil- 
dren  of    la'ra-el    had    sinned 

X'nst  the  Lord  their  God, 
:h  had  brought  them  up  out 
of  the  land  of  l?gf pt,  from  un- 
der the  hand  of  Ph&'radh  king 
of  £"&ypt,  and  had  feared  other 
gods, 

8  And  walked  in  the  statutes 
of  the  heathen,  whom  the  Lord 
cast  out  from  before  the  chil- 
dren of  ls/ra-el,  and  of  the  kings 
of  la'ra-el,  which  they  had  made. 

9  And  the  children  of  la'ra-el 
did  secretly  those  things  that 
were  not  right  against  the  Lord 
their  God,  and  they  built  them 
high  places  in  all  their  cities, 
from  the  tower  of  the  watch- 
men to  the  fenced  city. 

10  And  they  set  them  up  im- 
ages and  groves  in  every  high 
hill,  and  under  every  green 
tree: 

11  And  there  they  burnt  in- 
cense in  all  the  high  places,  as 
did  the  heathen  whom  the 
Lord  carried  away  before  them ; 
and  wrought  wicked  things  to 
provoke  the  Lord  to  anger : 

12  For  they  served  idols, 
whereof  the  Lord  had  said  un- 
to them,  Ye  shall  not  do  this 
thing. 

13  Yet  the  Lord  testified 
against  la'ra-el,  and  against  Ju'- 
dah, by  all  the  prophets,  and 
by  all  the  seers,  saying,  Turn 
ye  from  your  evil  ways,  and 
keep  my  commandments  and 
my  statutes,  according  to  all 
the  law  which  I  commanded 
your  fathers,  and  which  I  sent 
to  you  by  my  servants  the 
prophets. 

14  Notwithstanding  they  would 
not  hear,  but  hardened  their 
necks,  like  to  the  neck  of  their 
fathers,  that  did  not  believe  in 
the  Lord  their  God. 

15  And  they  rejected  his  stat- 
utes, and  his  covenant  that 
he  made  with  their  fathers,  and 
his  testimonies  which  he  testi- 
fied against  them ;  and  they  fol- 
lowed vanity,  and  became  vain,

and  went  after  the  heathen 
that  were  round  about  them, 
concerning  whom  the  Lord 
had  charged  them,  that  they 
should  not  do  like  them. 

16  And  they  left  all  the  com- 
mandments of  the  Lord  their 
God,  and  made  them  molten  im- 
ages, even  two  calves,  and  made 
a  grove,  and  worshipped  all  the 
host  of  heaven,  and  served  Ba'aL 

17  And  they  caused  their  sons 
and  their  daughters  to  pass 
through  the  fire,  and  used  divi- 
nation and  enchantments,  and 
sold  themselves  to  do  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  to  provoke 
him  to  anger. 

18  Therefore  the  Lord  was 
very  angry  with   Is'ra-el,  and 
removed  them  out  of  his  sight 
there  was  none  left  but  the  tribe 
of  Ju'dah  only. 

19  Also  Ju'dah  kept  not  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord 
their  God,  but  walked  in  the 
statutes  of  Is/ra-el  which  they 
made. 

20  And  the  Lord  rejected  all 
the  seed  of  Is/ra-el,  and  afflicted 
them,  and  delivered  them  into 
the  hand  of  spoilers,  until  he 
had  cast  them  out  of  his  sight 

21  For  he  rent  Is/ra-el  from  the 
house  of  Da'vid ;  and  they  made 
Jgr-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'b&t 
kins :  and  Jer-o-bd'am  drave  Is'- 
ra-el from  following  the  Lord, 
and  made  them  sin  a  great  sin. 

22  For  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
walked  in  all  the  sins  of  J€r-o- 
bft'am  which  he  did ;  they  de- 
parted not  from  them ; 

23  Until  the  Lord  removed  Is' 
ra-el  out  of  his  sight,  as  he  had 
said  by  all  his  servants  the 
prophets.  So  was  Is'ra-el  carried 
away  out  of  their  own  land  to 
As-sjh^i-a  unto  this  day. 

24  %  And  the  king  of  As-syrT-a 
brought  men  from  BaVjMon, 
and  from  Cu'thah,  and  from 
A'va,  and  from  H&'math,  and 
from  SSph-ar-v3'im,  and  placed 
them  in  the  cities  of  SS-mft'rl-a 
instead  of  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el :  and  they  possessed  S&-m£'~ 
ri-a,  and  dwelt  in  the  cities  there- 
of. 

25  And  so  it  was  at  the  be- 
ginning of  their  dwelling  there, 
that  they  feared  not  the  Lord  : 
therefore  the  Lord  sent  lions 
among  them,  which  slew  some 
of  them. 

26  Wherefore  they  spake  to 
the  king  of  As-sjrrl-a,  saying, 
The  nations  which  thou  hast 
removed,  and  placed  in  the 
cities  of  SS-ma'ri-a,  know  not 
the  manner  of  the  God  of  the 


land:  therefore  he  hath  sent 
lions  among  them,  and,  behold, 
they  slay  them,  because  they 
know  not  the  manner  of  the 
God  of  the  land. 

27  Then  the  king  of  As-sjFr'- 
I-a  commanded,  saying,  Carry 
thither  one  of  the  priests  whom 

{re  brought  from  thence;  and 
et  them  go  and  dwell  there,  and 
let  him  teach  them  the  manner 
of  the  God  of  the  land. 

28  Then  one  of  the  priests 
whom  they  had  carried  away 
from  Sa-ma'ri-a  came  and  dwelt 
in  B€th'-el,  and  taught  them 
how  they  should  fear  the  Lord. 

29  Howbeit  every  nation  made 
gods  of  their  own,  and  put  them 
in  the  houses  of  the  high  places 
which  the  Sa-mSrl-tans  had 
made,  every  nation  in  their  cit- 
ies wherein  they  dwelt 

50  And  the  men  of  BaVjMon 
made  Suc'coth-bS'noth,  and  the 
men  of  Cuth  made  NSr'gal,  and 
the  men  of  Hfi'math  made  Ash' 
i-ma, 

31  And  the  A'vites  made  Nib' 
haz  and  TartSk,  and  the  Seph'- 
ar-vites  burnt  their  children 
in  fire  to  A-dram'me-lech  and 
A-n&m'me-lech,  the  gods  of 
Seph-ar-va'im. 

32  So  they  feared  the  Lord, 
and  made  unto  themselves  of 
the  lowest  of  them  priests  of  the 
high  places,  which  sacrificed  for 
them  in  the  houses  of  the  high 
places. 

33  They  feared  the  Lord,  and 
served  their  own  gods,  after  the 
manner  of  the  nations  whom 
they  carried  away  from  thence. 

34  Unto  this  day  they  do  after 
the  former  manners:  they  fear 
not  the  Lord,  neither  do  they 
after  their  statutes,  or  after 
their  ordinances,  or  after  the 
law  and  commandment  which 
the  Lord  commanded  the  chil- 
dren of  JS'cob,  whom  he  named 
Is'ra-el ; 

35  With  whom  the  Lord  had 
made  a  covenant;  and  charged 
them,  saying,  Ye  shall  not  fear 
other  gods,  nor  bow  yourselves 
to  them,  nor  serve  them,  nor 
sacrifice  to  them : 

36  But  the  Lord,  who  brought 
you  up  out  of  the  land  of  Cgf  pt 
with  great  power  and  a  stretched 
out  arm,  him  shall  ye  fear,  and 
him  shall  ye  worship,  and  to  him 
shall  ye  do  sacrifice. 

37  And  the  statutes,  and  the 
ordinances,  and  the  law,  and  the 
commandment,  which  he  wrote 
for  you,  ye  shall  observe  to  do 
for  evermore ;  and  ye  shall  not 
fear  other  gods.

have  made  with  yon  ye  shall

you  out  of  the  hand  of  all  your 
enemies. 

40  Howbeit  they  did  not  heark- 
en, but  they  did  after  their 
former  manner. 

41  So  these  nations  feared  the 
Lord,  and  served  their  graven 
images,  both  their  children,  and 
their  children's  children :  as  did 
their  fathers,  so  do  they  unto 
this  day. 

CHAPTER  18 

Hezekiah*  s  good  reign ;  4  he  destroys 
idolatry.  17  Sennacherib  besieges 
Jerusalem. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
third  year  of  Hfehe'a  son 
of  Blah  king  of  Is/ra-el,  that 
He*e4ri'ah  the  son  of  ATiSz 
king  of  Ju'dah  began  to  reign. 

2  Twenty  and  five  years  old 
was  he  when  he  began  to  reigjp ; 
and  he  reigned  twenty  and  nine 
years  in  Je-ru'sS-lem.  His  moth* 
er's  name  also  was  A1>i,  the 
daughter  of  Z&ch-a-ri'ah* 

3  And  he  did  that  which  was 
right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  Dfi'vid  his 
father  did. 

4  He  removed  the  high  places, 
and  brake  the  images,  and  cut 
down  the  groves,  and  brake  in 

Sieces  the  brasen  serpent  that 
[ft'sea  had  made:  for  unto  those 
days  the  children  of  la/ra-el  did 
burn  incense  to  it :  and  he  called 
it  N€-hush'tan. 

5  He  trusted  in  the  Lord  God 
of  Is/ra-el;  so  that  after  hhn 
was  none  like  him  among  all 
the  kings  of  Ju'dah,  nor  any 
that  were  before  him. 

6  For  he  clave  to  the  Lord, 
and  departed  not  from  follow- 
ing hhn,  but  kept  his  command 
ments,  which  the  Lord  com- 
manded Md'seg. 

7  And  the  Lord  was  with 
him ;  and  he  prospered  whith 
ersoever  he  went  forth :  and  he 
rebelled  against  the  king  of  As* 
sjhrl-a,  and  served  him  not. 

8  He  smote  the  Phi-Hs'tineg, 
even  unto  GS'za,  and  the  bor- 
ders thereof,  from  the  tower  of 
the  watchmen  to  the  fenced 
city. 

9  %  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
fourth  year  of  king  Hez-e-ki'ah, 
which  was  the  seventh  year  of 
Hfche'a  son  of  Elab  king  of 
Is/ra-el,  that  Shai-man-e'ger  king 
of  As-eyrf-a  came  up  against 
SS-mfi'ri-a,  and  besieged  it 


10  And  at  the  end  of  three 
years  they  took  it:  even  in  the 
sixth  year  of  Hex-e-ki'ah,  that  is 
the  ninth  year  of  H6-sh5'a  king 
of  Is/ra-el,  S&-m&'ri-a  was  taken. 

11  And  the  king  of  As-sj?rf* 
did  carry  away  Ig  ra-el  unto  As- 
sjrrf-a,  and  put  them  in  Hfilah 
and  in  Harbor  by  the  river  of 
Gd'zan,  and  in  the  cities  of  the 
Medea: 

12  Because  they  obeyed  not 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  their 
God,  but  transgressed  his  cove- 
nant, and  all  that  Mfl'seg  the 
servant  of  the  Lord  command- 
ed, and  would  not  hear  them, 
nor  do  them. 

13  IT  Now  in  the  fourteenth 
year  of  king  He*e-k1'ah  did 
Scn-nach'e-rlb  king  of  As-sjfrl-a 
come  up  against  all  the  fenced 
cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  took  them. 

14  And  Hez-e-kTah  king  of 
Ju'dah  sent  to  the  king  of  As- 
sjhrt-a  to  La'chish,  saying,  I 
have  offended;  return  from 
me:  that  which  thou  puttest 
on  me  will  I  bear.  And  the 
king  of  As-sfrl-a  appointed  un- 
to Hex-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah 
three  hundred  talents  of  silver 
and  thirty  talents  of  gold. 

15  And  Hex-e-ki'ah  gave  him 
all  the  silver  that  was  found 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and 
in  the  treasures  of  the  king's 
house. 

16  At  that  time  did  He*e-ki'ah 
cut  off  the  gold  from  the  doors 
of  the  temple  of  the  Lord,  and 

'om  the  pillars  which  Hez-e- 
ah  king  of  Jfl'dah  had  over- 
laid, and  gave  it  to  the  king  of 
As-syrl-a. 

17  And  the  king  of  As-s^rl-a 
sent  Tartan  and  Rflb'-sa-risand 
R&b'-sha-keh  from  L&'chish  to 
king  Hez-e-ki'ah  with  a  great 
host  against  J8-ru'sfi-lem.  And 
they  went  up  and  came  to  JS- 
ru'sfi-lem.  And  when  they  were 
come  up,  they  came  and  stood 
by  the  conduit  of  the  upper 
pool,  which  is  in  the  highway 
of  the  fuller's  field. 

18  And  when  they  had  called 
to  the  king,  there  came  out  to 
them  E-li'a-klm  the  son  of  HI1- 
ki'ah,  which  was  over  the  house- 
hold, and  SheVna  the  scribe, 
and  JQ'ah  the  son  of  A'saph  the 
recorder. 

19  And  Rab'-sha-keh  said  un- 
to them,  Speak  ye  now  to  Hez- 
e-ki'ah,  Thus  saith  the  great 
king,  the  king  of  As-sfr'I-a, 
What  confidence  is  this  where- 
in thou  trustest? 

20  Thou  sayest,  (but  they  are 
but  vain  words,)  I  have  counsel

hath  taken  away,  and  hath  said 
to  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem,  Ye 
shall  worship  before  this  altar 
in  JS-ru'sa-lem  ? 

23  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
give  pledges  to  my  lord  the  king 
of  As-syrl-a,  and  I  will  deliver 
thee  two  thousand  horses,  if 
thou  be  able  on  thy  part  to  set 
riders  upon  them. 

24  How  then  wilt  thou  turn 
away  the  face  of  one  captain  of 
the  least  of  my  master's  serv- 
ants, and  put  thy  trust  on  E'gypt 
for  chariots  and  for  horsemen  ? 

25  Am  I  now  come  up  without 
the  Lord  against  this  place  to 
destroy  it?  The  Lord  said  to 
me,  Go  up  against  this  land,  and 
destroy  it 

26  Then  said  £-li'a-kim  the  son 
of  Hil-ki'ah,  and  SheVna,  and 
J5'ah,untoRaV-sha-keh,  Speak, 
I  pray  thee,  to  thy  servants  in 
the  Syrl-an  language ;  for  we 
understand  it :  and  talk  not 
with  us  in  the  Jews'  language 
in  the  ears  of  the  people  that 
are  on  the  wall. 

27  But  RaV-sha-keh  said  unto 
them,  Hath  my  master  sent  me 
to  thy  master,  and  to  thee,  to 
speak  these  words  ?  hath  he  not 
sent  me  to  the  men  which  sit  on 
the  wall,  that  they  may  eat  their 
own  dung,  and  drink  their  own 
piss  with  you  ? 

28  IT  Then  RaV-sha-keh  stood 
and  cried  with  a  loud  voice  in 
the  Jews/  language,  and  spake, 
saying,  Hear  the  word  of  the 
great  king,  the  king  of  As- 
syria: 

29  Thus  saith  the  king,  Let 
not  Hez-e-kl'ah  deceive  you :  for 
he  shall  not  be  able  to  deliver 
you  out  of  his  hand : 

50  Neither  let  Hez-e-kf'ah 
make  you  trust  in  the  Lord, 
saying,  The  Lord  will  surely 
deliver  us,  and  this  city  shall 
not  be  delivered  into  the  hand 
of  the  king  of  As-syr%a. 

31  Hearken  not  to  Hez-e-kf'ah : 
for  thus  saith  the  kingof  As-syr'- 
I-a,  Make  an  agreement  with 
me  by  a  present,  and  come  out 


to  me,  and  then  eat  ye  every 
man  of  his  own  vine,  and  every 
one  of  his  fig  tree,  and  drink  ye 
every  one  the  waters  of  his  cis- 
tern: 

32  Until  I  come  and  take  you 
away  to  a  land  like  your  own 
land,  a  land  of  corn  and  wine, 
a  land  of  bread  and  vineyards, 
a  land  of  oil  olive  and  of  honey, 
that  ye  may  live,  and  not  die : 
and  hearken  not  unto  Hes-e-kf- 
ah,when  he  persuadeth  you,  say- 
ing, The  Lord  will  deliver  us. 

33  Hath  any  of  the  gods  of  the 
nations  delivered  at  all  his  land 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  king  of 
As-s^  rf-a  ? 

34  Where  are  the  gods  of  Ha'- 
math,  and  of  Ar'pad?  where  are 
the  gods  of  Seph-ar-v&'im,  HC- 
na,  and  I'vah?  have  they  de- 
livered Sa-mS'ri-a  out  of  mine 
hand? 

35  Who  are  they  among  all 
the  gods  of  the  countries,  that 
have  delivered  their  country  out 
of  mine  hand,  that  the  Lord 
should  deliver  Je-ru'sa-lem  out 
of  mine  hand  ? 

36  But  the  people  held  their 
peace,  and  answered  him  not  a 
word :  for  the  king's  command- 
ment was,  saying,  Answer  him 
not 

37  Then  came  fi-li'a-kim  the 
son  of  Hll-ki'ah,  which  was  over 
the  household,  and  SheVna  the 
scribe,  and  J5'ah  the  son  of 
A'saph  the  recorder,  to  Hez-e- 
ki'ah  with  their  clothes  rent, 
and  told  him  the  words  of  RaV 
sha-keh. 

CHAPTER  19 

Hezekiah,  in  deep  affliction,  6  com- 
forted by  Isaiah.  8  Sennacherib 
Bends  a  blasphemous  letter  to 
Hezekiah.  14  Hezekiahfs  prayer. 
35  An  angel  destroys  the  Assyri- 
ans.   36  Sennacherib  slain. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
king  Hez-e-kl'an  heard  it, 
that  he  rent  his  clothes,  and 
covered  himself  with  sackcloth, 
and  went  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord. 

2  And  he  sent  £-li'a-kim, 
which  was  over  the  house- 
hold, and  SheVna  the  scribe, 
and  the  elders  of  the  priests, 
covered  with  sackcloth,  to  I-3&"- 
iah  the  prophet  the  son  of 
A'mdz. 

3  And  they  said  unto  him, 
Thus  saith  H&-e-kf'ah,  This 
day  is  a  day  of  trouble,  and  of 
rebuke,  and  blasphemy :  for  the 
children  are  come  to  the  birth, 
and  there  is  not  strength  to 
bring  forth. 

4  It  may  be  the  LORD  thy  God 
will  hear  all  the  words  of  RaV

sha-keh,  whom  the  king  of  As- 
syria his  master  hath  sent  to 
reproach  the  living  God;  and 
will  reprove  the  words  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  heard: 
wherefore  lift  tip  thy  prayer  for 
the  remnant  that  are  left 

5  So  the  servants  of  king  H&- 
e-kl'ah  came  to  I-ad'iah. 

6  ITAndl-sft'iah  said  unto  them, 
Thus  shall  ye  say  to  your  mis- 
ter, Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Be 
not  afraid  of  the  words  which 
thou  hast  heard,  with  which  the 
servants  of  the  king  of  As- 
sjhrt-a  have*  blasphemed  me. 

7  Behold,  I  will  send  a  blast 
upon  him,  and  he  shall  hear  a 
rumour,  and  shall  return  to  his 
own  land ;  and  I  will  cause  htm 
to  fall  by  the  sword  in  his  own 
land. 

8  t  So  Rlb'-sha-keh  returned, 
and  found  the  king  of  Aa«?rT*a 
warring  against  Lfb'nah :  for  he 
had  beard  that  he  was  departed 
from  L&'chish. 

9  And  when  he  heard  say  of 
Tirtia-kah  king  of  £-thWp!-d, 
Behold,  he  is  come  out  to  fight 
against  thee:  he  sent  messen- 
gers again  unto  HeVe-ki'ah,  say- 
ing, 

10  Thus  shall  ye  sneak  to  Hea- 
e-ki'ah  king  of  Jfi'dah,  saying, 
Let  not  thy  God  in  whom  thou 
trustest  deceive  thee,  saying, 
J&ru'sft-lem  shall  not  be  deliv- 
ered'into  the  hand  of  the  king 
of  Afrsfrt*. 

11  Behold,  thou  hast  heard 
what  the  kings  of  As-syrf-a 
have  done  to  all  lands,  by  de- 
stroying them  utterly:  and 
shalt  thou  be  delivered? 

12  Have  the  gods  of  the  na- 
tions delivered  them  which 
my  fathers  have  destroyed ;  as 
Go'zan,  and  Hft'ran,  and  R€'- 
zeph,  and  the  children  of  E"den 
which  were  in  ThS-til'sar? 

13  Where  is  the  king  of  Hi' 
math,  and  the  king  of  Ar'pad, 
and  the  king  of  the  city  of 
Seph-ar-vft'im,  of  He'na,  and 
I'vah? 

14  IT  And  rlfa-e-kl'ah  received 
the  letter  of  the  hand  of  the 
messengers,  and  read  it:  and 
Hfiz-e-ki'ah  went  up  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  spread 
it  before  the  Lord. 

15  And  Hez-e-kf  ah  prayed  be- 
fore the  Lord,  and  said,  O  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  which  dwellest 
between  the  cherubims,  thou  art 
the  God,  even  thou  alone,  of  all 
the  kingdoms  of  the  earth ;  thou 
hast  made  heaven  and  earth. 

16  Lord,  bow  down  thine  ear, 
and  hear 


eyes,  and  see:  and  hear  the 
words  of  Sen-nach'e-rib,  which 
hath  sent  him  to  reproach  the 
living  God. 

17  Of  a  truth,  Lord,  the  kings 
of  As-e^-a  have  destroyed  the 
nations  and  their  lands, 

18  And  have  cast  their  gods 
into  the  fire:  for  they  were  no 
gods,  but  the  work  of  men's 
hands,  wood  and  stone:  there- 
fore they  have  destroyed  them. 

19  Now  therefore,  O  Lord  our 
God,  I  beseech  thee,  save  thou 
us  out  of  his  hand,  that  all  the 
kingdoms  of  the  earth  may 
know  that'  thou •  art  the  Loud 
God,  even  thou  only. 

20  IT  Then  I-atfah  the  son  of 
A'mdx  sent  to  Hes-e-kt'ah,  say- 
ing. Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
If  'ra-el,  That  which  thou  hast 
prayed  to  me  against  Sen-nach'- 
e-rib king:  of  As-s^rT-a  I  have 
heard. 

21  This  is  the  word  that  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  concerning 
him;  The  virgin  the  daughter 
of  Zi'5n  hath  despised  thee, 
and  laughed  thee  to  scorn ;  the 
daughter  of  Je*ru'sfi-lem  hath 
shaken  her  head  at  thee. 

22  Whom  hast  thou  '  re- 
proached and  blasphemed  ?  and 
against  whom  hast  thou  exalted 
thy  voice,  and  lifted  up  thine 
eyes  on  high?  even  against  the 
Holy  One  of  Is'ra-eL 

23  By  thy  messengers  thou 
hast  reproached  the  Lord;  and 
hast  said,  With  the  multitude  of 
my  chariots  I  am  come  up  to 
the  height  of  the  mountains, 
to  the  sides  of  LeVa-non,  and 
will  cut  down  the  tall  cedar  trees 
thereof,  and  the  choice  fir  trees 
thereof:  and  I  will  enter  into 
the  lodgings  of  bis  borders,  and 
into  the  forest  of  his  CaVmeL 

24  I  have  digged  and  drunk 
strange  waters,  and  with  the  sole 
of  my  feet  have  I  dried  up  all 
the  rivers  of  besieged  places. 

25  Hast  thou  not  heard  long 
ago  how  I  have  done  it,  and  of 
ancient  times  that  1  have  formed 
it?  now  have  I  brought  it  to  pass, 
that  thou  shouldest  be  to  lay 
waste  fenced  cities  into  ruinous 
heaps. 

26  Therefore  their  inhabitants 
were  of  small  power,  they  were 
dismayed  and  confounded ;  they 
were  as  the  grass  of  the  field, 
and  as  the  green  herb,  as  the 
grass  on  the  house  tops,  and  as 
corn  blasted  before  it  be  grown 
up. 

27  But  I  know  thy  abode,  and 
thy  going  out,  and  thy  coming 

open,  LpRD,  thine  in,  and  thy  rage  against  me.

28  Because  thy  rage  against 
me  and  thy  tumult  is  come  up 
into  mine  ears,  therefore  I  will 
put  my  hook  in  thy  nose,  and 
my  bridle  in  thy  lips,  and  I  will 
turn  thee  back  by  the  way  by 
which  thou  earnest 

29  And  this  shall  be  a  sign 
unto  thee,  Ye  shall  eat  this  year 
such  things  as  grow  of  them- 
selves, and  in  the  second  year 
that  which  springeth  of  the 
same;  and  in  the  third  year 
sow  ye,  and  reap,  and  plant 
vineyards,  and  eat  the  fruits 
thereof. 

30  And  the  remnant  that  is 
escaped  of  the  house  of  Ja'dah 
shall  yet  again  take  root  down- 
ward, and  bear  fruit  upward. 

31  For  out  of  J&ru'sfi-lem  shall 

Si  forth  a  remnant,  and.  they 
at  escape  out  of  mount  Zi'dn : 
the  zeal  of  the  Lord  of  hosts 
shall  do  this. 

32  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  concerning  the  king  of 
As-syrf-a,  He  shall  not  come  in- 
to this  city,  nor  shoot  an  arrow 
there,  nor  come  before  it  with 
shield,  nor  cast  a  bank  against  it 

33  By  the  way  that  he  came, 
by  the  same  shall  he  return, 
and  shall  not  come  into  this 
city,  saith  the  Lord. 

34  For  I  will  defend  this  city, 
to  save  it,  for  mine  own  sake, 
and  for  my  servant  David's 
sake. 

35  IT  And  it  came  to  pass  that 
night  that  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  went  out  and  smote  in 
the  camp  of  the  As-syrf-ans.  an 
hundred  fourscore  and  five 
thousand :  and  when  they  arose 
early  in  the  morning,  behold, 
they  were  all  dead  corpses. 

36  So  Sen*nftch'e-rib  king  of 
As-sjhrT-a  departed,  and  went 
and  returned,  and  dwelt  at 
Nm'e-veh. 

37  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he 
was  worshipping  in  the  house  of 
Nla'rdch  his  god,  that  A-dram'- 
me-lech  and  Sh£-re'zer  his  sons 
smote  him  with  the  sword :  and 
they  escaped  into  the  land  of 
Ar-m€'ni-a.  And  E'sar-hfid'don 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  20 

Hezekiah'g  life  lengthened.  8  The 
eun  goes  ten  degrees  backward.  21 
Heaekiah  dies,  and  is  succeeded  by 
Manaseeh. 

IN  those  days  was  Hfc-e-ki'ah  __  __ 
sick  unto  death.  And  the  things,  the  silver,  and  the  gold, 
prophet  I-sS'iah  the  son  of  and  the  spices,  and  the  precious 
A'm5z  came  to  him,  and  said; ointment  and  all  the  house  of 
unto  hinii  Thus  saith  the  Lord,<  his  armour,  and  all  that  was 
Set  thine  house  in  order;  for  found  in  his  treasures:  there 
thou  shah  die,  and  not  live.       iwas  nothing  in  his  house,  nor 

402 


2  Then  he  turned  his  face  to 
the  wall,  and  prayed  unto  the 
Lord,  saying, 

3  I  beseech  thee,  O  Lord,  re- 
member now  how  I  have  walked 
before  thee  in  truth  and  with  a 
perfect  heart,  and  have  done 
that  which  is  good  in  thy 
sight  And  H&-e>kTah  wept 
sore. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass,  afore 
I-ga'iah  was  gone  out  into  the 
middle  court,  that  the  word  of 
the  Lord  came  to  htm,  sa;  " 

5  Turn  again,  and  tell 
kf'ah  the  captain  of  my  people, 
Thus  (saith  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  Da'vid  thy  father,  I  have 
heard  thy  prayer,  I  have  seen 
thy  tears:  behold,  I  will  heal 
thee:  on  the  third  day  thou 
shalt  go  up  unto  the  house  of 
the  Lord. 

6  And  I  will  add  unto  thy 
days  fifteen  years;  and  I  will 
deliver  thee  and  this  city  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  king  of  As-sjrr'* 
I-a;  and  I  will  defend  this  city 
for  mine  own  sake,  and  for  my 
servant  Da'vid's  sake. 

7  And  I-sft'iah  said,  Take  a 
lump  of  figs*  And  they  took 
and  laid  it  on  the  boil,  and  he 
recovered. 

8  IT  And  HSz-e-ki'ah  said  unto 
I-sTiah,  What  shall  be  the  sign 
that  the  Lord  will  heal  me,  and 
that  I  shall  go  up  into  the  house 
of  the  LORD  the  third  day? 

9  And  I-sft'iah  said,  This  sign 
shalt  thou  have  of  the  Lo&b, 
that  the  Lord  will  do  the  thing 
that  he  hath  spoken :  shall  the 
shadow  go  forward  ten  degrees, 
or  go  back  ten  degrees  2 

10  And  Het-e-kvah  answered, 
It  is  a  light  thing  for  the  shad- 
ow to  go  down  ten  degrees: 
nay,  but  let  the  shadow  return 
backward  ten  degrees. 

11  And  I-t&'iah  the  prophet 
cried  unto  the  Lord:  ana  he 
brought  the  shadow  ten  de- 
grees backward,  by  which  it 
had  gone  down  in  the  dial  of 
ATiiz. 

12  IT  At  that  time  B&rt'dfich- 
baTa-d&n,  the  son  of  BaTa-d&n, 
king  of  Bftb'jMon,  sent  letters 
and  a  present  unto  Hez-e-ki'ah : 
for  he  had  heard  that  H£*e4ri'- 
ah  had  been  sick. 

13  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  hearkened 
unto  them,  and  shewed  them

in  all  his  dominion,  that  Hez-e- 
ki'ah  shewed  them  not. 

14  f  Then  came  I-sft'iah  the 
prophet  unto  king  HSz-e»ki'ah, 
and  said  unto  him,  What  said 
these  men?  and  from  whence 
came  they  unto  thee?  And 
Hez-e-ki'ah  said,  They  are  come 
from  a  far  country,  even  from 
B&b'jMon. 

15  And  he  said,  What  hare 
they  seen  in  thine  house  ?  And 
Hez-e-ki'ah  answered,  All  the 
things  that  are  in  mine  house 
have  they  seen :  there  is  noth- 
ing among  my  treasures  that  I 
have  not  shewed  them. 

16  And  I-ajfiah  said  unto  Hez- 
e-ki'ah,  Hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord. 

17  Behold,  the  days  come, 
that  all  that  is  in  thine  house, 
and  that  which  thy  fathers  have 
laid  up  in  store  unto  this  day, 
shall  be  carried  into  B&b'jMon : 
nothing  shall  be  left,  saith  the 
Lord. 

18  And  of  thy  sons  that  shall 
issue  from  thee,  which  thou 
shalt  beget,  shall  they  take 
away;  and  they  shall  be  eunuchs 
in  the  palace  of  the  king  of 
B&b'jMon 

19  Then  said  Hez-e-ki'ah  unto 
I-s&lah,  Good  ie  the  word  of  the 
Lord  which  thou  hast  spoken. 
And  he  said,  Is  it  not  good,  if 
peace  and  truth  be  in  my  days? 

20  IT  And  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  Hez-e-ki'ah,  and  all  his  might, 
and  how  he  made  a  pool,  and  a 
conduit,  and  brought  water  in- 
to the  city,  are  they  not  writ- 
ten in  the  book  of  the  chronicles 
of  the  kings  of  Jfi'dah  ? 

21  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  slept  with 
his  fathers :  and  Ma-naVseh  his 
son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  21 

Manaseeh'a  wicked  reign,  and  great 
idolatry.  19  Amon's  wicked  reign : 
23  he  being  slain,  Joeiah  ia  mode 
king.    25  Amon't  acts. 

MA-NAS'SEH  was  twelve 
years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  reigned  fifty  and 
five  years  in  JS-ru'sa-lgm.  And 
his  mother's  name  was  Heph'- 
rf-bah. 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
after  the  abominations  of  the 
heathen,  whom  the  Lord  cast 
out  before  the  children  of  fs'- 
ra-el. 

3  For  he  built  up  again  the 
high  places  which  Hez-e-ki'ah 
his  father  had  destroyed ;  and 
he  reared  up  altars  for  Bfi'al, 
and  made  a  grove,  as  did  ATifib 


all   the  host  of  heaven,  and 
served  them. 

4  And  he  built  altars  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  of  which 
the  Lord  said,  In  JS-ni'saVlem 
will  I  put  my  name. 

5  And  he  built  altars  for  all 
the  host  of  heaven  in  the  two 
courts  of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

6  And  he  made  hit  son  pass 
through  the  fire,  and  observed 
times,  and  used  enchantments, 
and  dealt  with  familiar  spirits 
and  wizards:  he  wrought  much' 
wickedness  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  to  provoke  him  to  anger. 

7  And  he  set  a  graven  image 
of  the  grove  that  he  had  made 
in  the  house,  of  which  the  Lord 
said  to  Da'vid,  and  to  S6To-mon 
his  son,  In  this  house,  and  in 
J&-ru'sa*18m,  which  I  have  cho- 
sen "out  of  all  tribes  of  Is/ra-el, 
will  I  put  my  name  for  ever : 

8  Neither  will  I  make  the  feet 
of  Is/ra-el  move  any  more  out 
of  the  land  which  I  gave  their 
fathers;  only  if  they  will  ob- 
serve to  do  according  to  all  that 
I  have  commanded  them,  and 
according  to  all  the  law  that 
my  servant  Md'sea  commanded 
them, 

9  But  they  hearkened  not:  and 
MS-nfts'seh  seduced  them  to  do 
more  evil  than  did  the  nations 
whom  the  Lord  destroyed  be- 
fore the  children  of  Is/ra-eL 

10  ITAnd  the  Lord  spake  by 
his  servants  the  prophets,  say- 
ing, 

11  Because  MS-nfis'seh  king  of 
JCfdah  hath  done  these  abomi- 
nations, and  hath  done  wicked- 
ly above  all  that  the  Am'dr-ftes 
did,  which  were  before  him, 
and  hath  made  Jfi'dah  also  to 
sin  with  his  idols 

12  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  fs'ra-el,  Behold,  I 
am  bringing  such  evil  upon  J6- 
rn'sa'-lgm  and  JfTdah,  that  who- 
soever heareth  of  it,  both  his 
ears  shall  tingle. 

13  And  I  will  stretch  over  J8- 
ru'sa-lem  the  line  of  SS-ma'ri-a, 
and  the  plummet  of  the  house 
of  ATi5b :  and  I  will  wipe  JS-ru'- 
sa-lem  as  a  man  wipetn  a  dish, 
wiping  it,  and  turning  it  upside 
down, 

14  And  I  will  forsake  the  rem- 
nant of  mine  inheritance,  and 
deliver  them  into  the  hand  of 
their  enemies;  and  they  shall 
become  a  prey  and  a  spoil  to  all 
their  enemies; 

15  Because  they  have  done 
that  which  was  evil  in  my 
sight,  and  have  provoked  me  to 


king  of  Ia'raHtl;  and  worshipped  [anger,  since  the  day  their  fa-

thers  came  forth  out  of  E'&ypt, 
even  unto  this  day. 

16  Moreover  Ma-n&s'seh  shed 
innocent  blood  very  much,  till 
he  had  filled  Je-ru'sa-lem  from 
one  end  to  another;  beside  his 
sin  wherewith  he  made  JQ'dah 
to  sin,  in  doing  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord. 

17  IT  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  M&»nSs'seh,  and  all  that  he 
did,  and  his  sin  that  he  sinned, 
ate  they  not  written  in  the 
book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Ju'dah? 

18  And  Ma-n&s'seh  slept  with 
his  fathers,  and  was  buried  in 
the  garden  of  his  own  house,  in 
the  garden  of  ttz'za :  and  A'mon 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

19  IF  A'mon  was  twenty  and 
two  years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  he  reigned  two  years 
in  Jfc-ru'sa-lem.  And  his  moth- 
er's name  was  M£-shul1e-mgth, 
the  daughter  of  Hfi'ruz  of  Jot'- 
bah. 

20  Andhe  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
as  his  father  Ma-nas'seh  did. 

21  And  he  walked  in  all  the 
way  that  his  father  walked  in, 
and  served  the  idols  that  his 
father  served,  and  worshipped 
them: 

22  And  he  forsook  the  Lord 
God  of  his  fathers,  and  walked 
not  In  the  way  of  the  Lord. 

23  And  the  servants  of  A'mon 
conspired  against  him,  and  slew 
the  king  in  his  own  house. 

24  And  the  people  of  the  land 
slew  all  them  that  had  con- 
spired against  king  A'mon ;  and 
the  people  of  the  land  made  Jo- 
si'ah  his  son  king  in  his  stead. 

25  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  A'mon  which  he  did,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  book 
of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings 
of  JQ'dah? 

26  And  he  was  buried  in  his 
sepulchre  in  the  garden  of  Cz'> 
za :  and  Jd-si'ah  his  son  reigned 
in  his  stead.

for  the  repair  of  the  temple.  8 
HUkiah  finds  the  book  of  the  law. 
15  Huldah  prophesies  Jerusalem's 
destruction. 

JO-SI'AH  was  eight  years  old 
when  he  began  to  reign,  and 
he  reigned  thirty  and  one  years 
in  JS-ru'sfi-l£m.  And  his  moth- 
er's name  was  Je*-di'dah,  the 
daughter  of  Ad-a-i'ah  of  Bos'- 
cfith. 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was 
right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
and  walked  in  all  the  way  of 
D&'vid  his  father,  and  turned 


not  aside  to  the  right  hand  or  to 
the  left 

3  f  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
eighteenth  year  of  king  Jfoi'ah, 
that  the  king  sent  Shfi  phan  the 
son  of  As-a-li'ah,  the  son  of  M5- 
shul1am,the  scribe,  to  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  saving,

priest,  that  he  may  sum  the  sil-

house  of  the  Lord,  which  the 
keepers  of  the  door  have  gath- 
ered of  the  people: 

5  And  let  them  deliver  it  into 
the  hand  of  the  doers  of  the 
work,  that  have  the  oversight 
of  the  house  of  the  Lord  :  and 
let  them  give  it  to  the  doers 
of  the  work  which  is  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  to  repair  the 
breaches  of  the  house, 

6  Unto  carpenters,  and  build- 
ers, and  masons,  and  to  buy  tim- 
ber and  hewn  stone  to  repair 
the  house. 

7  Howbeit  there  was  no  reck- 
oning made  with  them  of  the 
money  that  was  delivered  into 
their  hand,  because  they  dealt 
faithfully. 

8  IT  And  Hil-ki'ah  the  hieh 
priest  said  unto  Sha'phan  the 
scribe,  I  have  found  the  book 
of  the  law  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord.  And  Hil-ki'ah  gave  the 
book  to  Shi'phan,  and  he  read  it 

9  And  Sha'phan  the  scribe 
ame  to  the  king,  and  brought 

the  king  word  again,  and  said, 
Thy  servants  have  gathered  the 
money  that  was  found  in  the 
house,  and  have  delivered  it  in- 
to the  hand  of  them  that  do  the 
work,  that  have  the  oversight  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

10  And  Sha'phan  the  scribe 
shewed  the  king,  saying,  Hil- 
ki'ah  the  priest  hath  delivered 
me  a  book.  And  Sha'phan  read 
it  before  the  king. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  king  had  heard  the  words  of 
the  book  of  the  law,  that  he  rent 
his  clothes. 

12  And  the  king  commanded 
HH-kTah  the  priest,  and  A-hf- 
kam  the  son  of  Sha'phan,  and 
Ach'bdr  the  son  of  Mi-ch&'iah, 
and  Sha'phan  the  scribe,  and 
A-sa-hi'ah  a  servant  of  the 
king's,  saying, 

13  Go  ye,  enquire  of  the  Lord 
for  me,  and  for  the  people,  and 
for  all  Ju'dah,  concerning  the 
words  of  this  book  that  is  found : 
for  great  is  the  wrath  of  the 
Lord  that  is  kindled  against  us, 
because  our  fathers  have  not

14  So  HU-ki'ah  the  priest,  and 
A-hilcam.  and  Ach'bor,  and  Shi' - 

Shan,  and  A-ea-hi'ah,  went  unto 
[fll'dah  the  prophetess,  the  wife 
of  ShaTlum  the  son  of  TikVah, 
the  son  of  HaYhas,  keeper  of  the 
wardrobe;  (now  she  dwelt  in 
J&ru'si-lem  in  the  college ;)  and 
they  communed  with  her. 

15  And  she  said  unto  them, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
Is/ra-el,  Tell  the  man  that  sent 
you  to  me, 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Be- 
hold, I  will  bring  evil  upon  this 
place,  and  upon  the  inhabitants 
thereof,  even  all  the  words  of 
the  book  which  the  king  of  Ju'- 
dah  hath  read : 

17  Because  they  have  forsaken 
me,  and  have  burned  incense  un- 
to other  gods,  that  they  might 
provoke  me  to  anger  with  all 
the  works  of  their  hands;  there- 
fore my  wrath  shall  be  kindled 
against  this  place,  and  shall  not 
be  quenched. 

18  But  to  the  king  of  JQ'dah 
which  sent  you  to  enquire  of 
the  Lord,  thus  shall  ye  say  to 
hhn,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  Is/ra-el,  As  touching  the 
words  which  thou  hast  heard ; 

19  Because  thine  heart  was 
tender,  and  thou  hast  humbled 
thyself  before  the  Lord,  when 
thou  heardest  what  I  spake 
against  this  place,  and  against 
the  inhabitants  thereof,  that 
they  should  become  a  desola- 
tion and  a  curse,  and  hast  rent 
thy  clothes,  and  wept  before 
me;  I  also  have  heard  thee, 
saith  the  Lord. 

20  Behold  therefore,  1  will 
gather  thee  unto  thy  fathers, 
and  thou  shalt  be  gathered  into 
thy  grave  in  peace ;  and  thine 
eyes  shall  not  see  all  the  evil 
which  I  will  bring  upon  this 
place.  And  they  brought  the 
king  word  again. 

CHAPTER  23 

Jonah  cauae*  the  law  to  be  read,  3 
renews  the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  4 
destroy*  idolatry.  29  He  is  slam. 
yiJehoohot'erexgn:  35  Jehoiakim 
succeed*  him. 

AND  the  king  sent,  and  they 
gathered  unto  him  all  the 
elders  of  JQ'dah  and  of  Je-ru'- 
sa-tem. 

2  And  the  king  went  up  into 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  all 
the  men  of  Ju'dab  and  all  the 
inhabitants  of  Je*u'sa-lem  with 
him,  and  the  priests,  and  the 
prophet*,  and  all  the  people, 
both  small  and  great;  and  he 


read  in  their  ears  all  the  words 
of  the  book  of  the  covenant 
which  was  found  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord. 

3  And  the  king  stood  by  a  pil- 
lar, and  made  a  covenant  before 
the  Lord,  to  walk  after  the 
Lord,  and  to  keep  his  com- 
mandments and  his  testimonies 
and  his  statutes  with  all  their 
heart  and  all  their  soul,  to  per- 
form the  words  of  this  covenant 
that  were  written  in  this  book. 
And  all  the  people  stood  to  the 
covenant. 

4  And  the  king  commanded 
Hil-ki'ah  the  high  priest,  and 
the  priests  of  the  second  order, 
and  the  keepers  of  the  door,  to 

r  forth  out  of  the  temple  of 
the  Lord  all  the  vessels  that 
were  made  for  Ba'al,  and  for  the 
grove,  and  for  all  the  host  of 
heaven:  and  he  burned  them 
without  Je^ru'ssVlein  in  the 
fields  of  Kidron,  and  carried 
the  ashes  of  them  unto  Beth'-el. 

5  And  he  put  down  the  idola- 
trous priests,  whom  the  kings  of 
Ju'dah  had  ordained  to  burn 
incense  in  the  high  places  in 
the  cities  of  Jfi'dah,  and  in  the 
places  round  about  Je-ru'sa-lem ; 
them  also  that  burned  incense 
unto  Ba'al,  to  the  sun,  and  to  the 
moon,  and  to  the  planets,  and  to 
all  the  host  of  heaven. 

6  And  he  brought  out  the 
grove  from  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  without  JS-ru  aa-tern,  un- 
to the  brook  Kitfron,  and  burned 
it  at  the  brook  KId'ron,  and 
stamped  it  small  to  powder,  and 
cast  the  powder  thereof  upon 
the  graves  of  the  children  of 
the  people. 

7  And  he  brake  down  the 
houses  of  the  sodomites,  that 
were  by  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
where  the  women  wove  hang- 
ings for  the  grove. 

8  And  he  brought  all  the 
priests  out  of  the  cities  of  JfV 
dan,  and  defiled  the  high  places 
where  the  priests  had  burned  in- 
cense, from  Ge'ba  to  Bg'er**h6'- 
ba,  and  brake  down  the  high 
places  of  the  gates  that  were  in 
the  entering  In  of  the  gate  of 
J5sh'u-a  the  governor  of  the 
city,  which  were  on  a  man's 
left  hand  at  the  gate  of  the 
city. 

9  Nevertheless  the  priests  of 
the  high  places  came  not  up  to 
the  altar  of  the  Lord  in  Je-ru'- 
si-le'm,  but  they  did  eat  of  the 
unleavened  bread  among  their 
brethren. 

10  And  he  denied  Tfi'pheth, 
which  is  in  the  valley  of  the

children  of  Hin'nom,  that  no 
man  might  make  his  son  or  his 
daughter  to  pass  through  the 
fire  to  Mdlecn. 

11  And  he  took  away  the 
horses  that  the  kings  of  Jfi'dah 
had  given  to  the  sun,  at  the 
entering  in  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  by  the  chamber  of  Nfi'- 
than-me"lech  the  chamberlain, 
which  was  in  the  suburbs,  and 
burned  the  chariots  of  the  sun 
with  fire. 

12  And  the  altars  that  uwre  on 
the  top  of  the  upper  chamber 
of  Alife,  which  the  kings  of 
Jfi'dah  had  made,  and  the  altars 
which  Mi-n&s'seh  had  made  in 
the  two  courts  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  did  the  king  beat 
down,  and  brake  them  down 
from  thence,  and  cast  the  dust 
of  them  into  the  brook  Kld'ron. 

13  And  the  high  places  that 
were  before  Jd-ru>8>lem,  which 
were  on  the  right  hand  of  the 
mount  of  corruption,  which  S6T- 
o-mon  the  king  of  Ig'ra-el  had 
builded  for  Ash'to-rgtb  the 
abomination  of  the  Zf-dd'nl-ang, 
and  for  Che"mdsh  the  abomina- 
tion of  the  Md'ab-ites,  and  for 
MH'com  the  abomination  of  the 
children  of  Am'mftn,  did  the 
king  defile. 
•  14  And  he  brake  in  nieces  the 
images,  and  cut  down  the 
groves',  and  filled  their  places 
with  the  bones  of  men. 

15  IT  Moreover  the  altar  that 
was  at  Btth'-el,  and  the  high 
place  which  Jer-o-b5'am  the  son 
of  NS'bat,  who  made  Is'ra-el  to 
shi,  had  made,  both  that  altar 
and  the  high  place  he  brake 
down,  and  burned  the  high 
place,  and  stamped  it  small  to 
powder*  and  burned  the  grove. 

16  And  as  Jft-sf'ah  turned  him- 
self, he  spied  the  sepulchres 
that  were  there  in  the  mount* 
and  sent,  and  took  the  bones 
out  of  the  sepulchres,  and 
burned  them  upon  the  altar, 
and  polluted  it,  according  to  the 
word*  of  the  Lord  which  the 
man  of  God  proclaimed,  who 
proclaimed  these  words. 

17  Then  he  said.  What  title  is 
that  that  I  see?  And  the  men 
of  the  city  told  him,  It  is  the 
sepulchre  of  the  man  of  God, 
which  came  from  Ju'dah,  and 
proclaimed  these  things  that 
thou  hast  done  against  the  altar 
of  BEth'-d. 

18  And  he  said,  Let  him  alone ; 
let  no  man  move  his  bones.  So 
they  let  his  bones  alone,  with 
the  bones  of  the  prophet  that 
came  out  of  Sft-ma'ri-o. 


19  And  all  the  houses  also  of 
the  high  places  that  were  in 
the  cities  of  SS-ma'rW,  which 
the  kings  of  Is/ra-el  had  made 
to  provoke  the  Lord  to  anger, 
Jd-si'ah  took  away,  and  did  to 
them  according  to  all  the  acts 
that  he  had  done  in  BSth'-el. 

20  And  he  slew  all  the  priests 
of  the  high  places  that  were 
there  upon  the  altars,  and 
burned  men's  bones  upon  them, 
and  returned  to  J&rg'sft-lem. 

21  ITAnd  the  king  commanded 
all  the  people,  saving,  Keep  the 
passover  unto  the  Lord  your 
God,  as  it  is  written  in  the 
book  of  this  covenant. 

22  Surely  there  was  not  holden 
such  a  naasover  from  the  days 
of  the  radges  that  judged  Ifi'- 
ra-el,  nor  in  all  the  days  of  the 
kings  of  Is'ra-el,  nor  of  the  kings 
of  Jfi'dah; 

23  But  in  the  eighteenth  year 
of  king  JS-si'ah,  wherein  this 
passover  was  holden  to  the  Lord 
in  J&-ru's24em. 

24  f  Moreover  the  workers 
with  familiar  spirits,  and  the 
wizards,  and  the  images,  and 
the  idols,  and  all  the  abomina- 
tions that  were  spied  in  the 
land  of  Jfi'dah  and  in  Jfc-ru'sH- 
lem,  did  Jfrsi'ah  put  away,  that 
he  might  perform  the  words  of 
the  law  which  were  written  in 
the  book  that  ffil-ki'ah  the 
priest  found  in  the  house  of 
the  Lord. 

25  And  like  unto  him  was  there 
no  king  before  him,  that  turned 
to  the  Lord  with  all  his  heart, 
and  with  all  his  soul,  and  with 
all  his  might,  according  to  all 
the  law  of  Md'ges. ;  neither  after 
him  arose  there  any  like  him. 

26  Notwithstanding  the  Lord 
turned  not  from  the  fierceness 
of  his  great  wrath,  wherewith 
his  anger  was  kindled  against 
Ju'dah,  because  of  all  the  prov- 
ocations that  Ma-nas'seh  had 
provoked  him  withal. 

27  And  the  Lord  said,  I  will 
remove  Jfi'dah  also  out  of  mv 
sight,  as  I  have  removed  Is'ra-el, 
and  will  cast  off  this  city  JS-rg'- 
sH-lem  which  I  have  chosen, 
and  the  house  of  which  I  said, 
My  name  shall  be  there. 

28  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Jd-sfah,  and  all  that  he  did,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  book  of 
the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 
Jfi'dah? 

29  In  his  days  Pha'rafih-n?-

he  slew  him  at  Me-gid'do,  when 
he  had  seen  him. 

30  And  his  servants  carried 
him  in  a  chariot  dead  from 
Me-gid'dd,  and  brought  him  to 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  buried  him  in 
his  own  sepulchre.  And  the  peo-

the  son  of  Jd-si'ab,  and  anointed 
him*  and  made  hun  king  in  his

and  three  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign ;  and  he  reigned 
three  months  in  J$-ru'sa4gm. 
And  his  mother's  name  was

32  And  he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  his  fa- 
thers had  done. 

33  And  Pha'radh-ne'chGh  put

not  reign  in  Je-ru'sa-l&n ;  and

CHAPTER  24 

Jehoiakim  procures  his  own  ruin. 
8  Jehoiachin  succeeds  him.  10  Je- 
rusalem taken;  17  Zedekiah's  evil 
reign* 

IN  his  days  N&Mi-chad-neYzar 
king  of  Bab'y-lon  came  u] 
and  Je-hoi'a-kim    became   hi 
servant  three  years;  then  he 
turned    and    rebelled   against 
him. 

2  And  the  Lord  sent  against 
him  bands  of  the  ChaT'deeg, 
and  bands  of  the  Syrl-ana,  and 


bands  of  the  Mo'ab-ites,  and 
bands  of  the  children  of  Am'- 
mdn,  and  sent  them  against  Ju'- 
dah  to  destroy  it,  according  to 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  which 
he  spake  by  his  servants  the 
prophets. 

3  Surely  at  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  came  this  upon  Ju'- 
dah,  to  remove  them  out  of  his 
sight,  for  the  sins  of  Md-nas'seh, 
according  to  all  that  he  did; 

4  And  also  for  the  innocent 
blood  that  he  shed:  for  he 
filled  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  inno- 
cent blood;  which  the  Lord 
would  not  pardon. 

5  UNow  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Je>hoi'a-kIm,and  all  that  he  did, 
are  they  not  written  in  the  book

6  So  Je-hoi'a-kim  'slept  with 
his  fathers:  and  Je-hoi'a-chin 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

7  And  the  king  of  Egypt 
came  not  again  any  more  out 
of  his  land:  for  the  king  of 
B&b'jr-lon  had  taken  from  the 
river  of  &Vg?pt  unto  the  river 
Eu-phra'tes  all  that  pertained 
to  the  king  of  fcVgypt 

8  HJS-hoi'a-chln  was  eighteen 
years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  he  reigned  in  JS-ru'- 
sa-leni  three  months.  And  his 
mother's  name  was  N&hush'ta, 
the  daughter  of  El'iia-than  of 
Je-ru'sa-Km. 

9  And  he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  his  fa- 
ther had  done. 

10  IT  At  that  time  the  servants 
of  Nib-u-chad-neViar  king  .  of 
Bab'y-lon  came  up  against  J3- 
ru's&Vleni,  and  the  city  was  be 
sieged.    ' 

11  And  NSb-u-chad-nez'zar  king 
of  Bab'y-lon  came  against  the 
city,  and  his  servants  did  be-

12  And  Je-hoi'a-chin  the  king 
of  Ju'dah  went  out  to  the  king 
of  Bab'jr-lon,  he,  and  his  moth- 
er, and  his  servants,  and  his 
princes,  and. his  officers:  and 
the  king  of  BSb'jMon  took  him 
in  the  eighth,  year  of  his  reign. 

13  And  he  carried  out  thence 
all  the  treasures  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  the  treasures 
of  the  king's  house,  and  cut  in 
pieces  all  the  vessels  of  gold 
which  SoTo-mon  king  of  Is'ra-el 
had  made  in  the  temple  of  the

smiths:  none  remained,  save 
the  poorest  sort  of  the  people 
of  the  land. 

15  And  he  carried  away  J6- 
hoi'a-chln  to  BaVjMon,  and  the 
king's  mother,  and  the  king's 
wives*  and  his  officers,  and  the 
mighty  of  the  land,  those  car- 
ried he  into  captivity  from  Je'- 
ru'si-lSm  to  BaVjMon, 

i6  And  all  the  men  of  might, 
even  seven  thousand,  and  crafts- 
men and  smiths  a  thousand,  all 
that  were  strong  and  apt  for 
war,  even  them  the  king  of 
Bfib'jMon  brought  captive  to 
Bfib'jMon. 

17  And  the  king  of  Bab'f-lon 
made  Mfit-ta-nfah  his  father's 
brother  king  in  his  stead,  and 
changed  his  name  to  ZSd-e-ki'ah. 

1^  HZ*d-e-krah  was  twenty 
and  one  years  old  when  he  be- 
gan to  reign,  and  he  reigned 
eleven  years  in  JS-ru'sft-Iem. 
And  his  mother's  name  was 
Ha-infi'tal,  the  daughter  of  Jer- 
e*mi'ah  of  Lib'nah. 

19  And  he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  Je-hoi'a- 
klm  Tiad  done. 

20  For  through  the  anger  of 
the  Lord  it  came  to  pass  in  JS- 
ru'sa-lem  and  Ju'dah,  until  he 
had  cast  them  out  from  his  pres- 
ence, that  Z8d-e-k!'ah  rebelled 
against  the  king  of  Bfib'jMon. 

CHAPTER  25 

Jerusalem  again,  besieged.  4  Zede- 
kiah taken,  his  sons  slain,  and  his 
eyes  put  out,  etc. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
ninth  year  of  his  reign,  in 
the  tenth  month,  in  the  tenth 
day  of  the  month,  that  N$b-u- 
chad-neVzar  king  of  Bfib'jMon 
came,  he,  and  all  his  host, 
against  J§-ru/s&4£m,  and  pitched 
against  it ;  and  they  built  forts 
against  it  round  about 

2  And  the  city  was  besieged 
unto  the  eleventh  year  of  long 
Z*d-e-kiah. 

3  And  on  the  ninth  day  of 
the  fourth  month  the  famine 
prevailed  in  the  city,  and  there 
was  no  bread  for  the  people  of 
the  land. 

4  And  the  city  was  broken  up, 
and  all  the  men  of  war  fled  by 
night  by  the  way  of  the  gate 
between  two  walls,  which  is  by 
the  king's  garden:  (now  the 
ChaTdees.  were  against  the  city 
round  about:)  and  the  king 
went  the  way  toward  the  plain. 

5  And  the  army  of  the  ChaT- 
dees  pursued  after  the  king, 
and  overtook  him  in  the  plains 


of  Jerl-chfl:  and  all  his  army 
were  scattered  from  him. 
r>  So  thev  took  the  king,  and 
brought  him  up  to  the  king  of 
Bfib'jMon  to  Riblah;  and  they 
gave  judgment  upon  him. 

7  And  they  slew  the  sons  of 
ZeU-e-ki'ah  before  his  eyes,  and 
put  out  the  eves  of  Z£d-e4ti'ah, 
and  bound  him  with  fetters  of 
brass,  and  carried  him  to  BaV- 
jMon. 

8  f  And  in  the  fifth  month,  on 
the  seventh  day  of  the  month, 
which  is  the  nineteenth  year 
of  king  NelHirchad-nez'zar  king 
of  Bfib'jMon,  came  NeVu-zar- 
a'dan,  captain  of  the  guard,  a 
servant  of  the  king  of  Bfib'jMon, 
unto  Je-ry'sfi-lem : 

9  And  he  burnt  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  king's  house, 
and  all  the  houses  of  JS-ru/sfi 
lem,  and  every  great  man's 
house  burnt  he  with  fire. 

10  And  all  the  army  of  the 
ChaTdees,  that  were  with  the 
captain  of  the  guard,  brake 
down  the  walls  of  Je^'sa-l&n 
round  about. 

11  Now  the  rest  of  the  people 
that  were  left  in  the  city,  and 
the  fugitives  that  fell  away  to 
the  king  of  Bfib'jMon,  with  the 
remnant  of  the  multitude,  did 
NeVu-zar-fi'dan  the  captain  of 
the  guard  carry  away. 

12  But  the  captain  of  the 
guard  left  of  the  poor  of  the 
land  to  be  vinedressers  and 
husbandmen. 

13  And  the  pillars  of  brass 
that  were  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  bases,  and  the 
brasen  sea  that  was  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  did  the 
ChaTdees  break  in  pieces,  and 
carried  the  brass  of  them  to 
Bfib'jMon. 

14  And  the  pots,  and  the 
shovels,  and  the  snuffers,  and 
the  spoons,  and  all  the  vessels 
of  brass  wherewith  they  min- 
istered, took  they  away. 

15  And  the  firepans,  and  the 
bowls,  and  such  things  as  were 
of  gold,  in  gold,  and  of  silver, 
in  silver,  the  captain  of  the 
guard  took  away. 

16  The  two  pillars,  one  sea, 
and  the  bases  which  SdTo-mon 
had  made  for  the  house  of  the 
Lord;  the  brass  of  all  these  ves- 
sels was  without  weight. 

17  The  height  of  the  one  pil- 
lar was  eighteen  cubits,  and 
the  chapiter  upon  it  was  brass : 
and  the  height  of  the  chapiter 
three  cubits ;  and  the  wreathen 
work,  and  pomegranates  upon 
the  chapiter  round  about,  all  of

the  second  pillar  with  wreathen 
work. 

18  HAnd  the  captain  oi  the 
guard  took  Sera-fan  the  chief 
priest,  and  Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  sec- 
ond priest,  and  the  three  keep- 
ers of  the  door: 

19  And  out  of  the  city  he  took 
an  officer  that  was  set  over  the 
men  of  war,  and  five  men  of 
them  that  were  in  the  king's 
presence,  which  were  found  in 
the  city,  and  the  principal 
scribe  of  the  host,  which  mus- 
tered the  people  of  the  land, 
and  threescore  men  of  the  peo- 
ple of  the  land  that  were  found 
in  the  city: 

20  And  NeVu-zar-Tdan  cap- 
tain of  the  guard  took  these, 
and  brought  them  to  the  king 
ofBab'jtfontoRIblah: 

21  And  the  king  of  Bfib'JMon 
smote  them,  and  slew  them  at 
Riblah  in  the  land  of  Ha'math. 
So  Ju'dah  was  carried  away  out 
of  their  land. 

22  IT  And  as  for  the  people 
that  remained  in  the  land  of 
Ja'dah,  whom  Ngb-u-chad-neV- 
zar  king  of  Bfib  y-lon  had  left, 
even  over  them  he  made  G€d«a- 
&'ah  the  son  of  A'hi'kain,  the 
son  of  Shft'phan,  ruler. 

23  And  when  all  the  captains 
of  the  armies,  they  and  their 
men,  heard  that  the  long  of 
Bab'jMon  had  made  GfctaTi'ah 
governor,  there  came  to  G€d«a- 
n'ah  to  MIz'pah,  even  lsVma-el 
the  son  of  Neth-a-nl'ah,  and  J5- 
ha'nan  the  son  of  Ca-r€'ah,  and 
Ser-a-i'ah  the  son  of  TSn'hu- 
m€th  the  Nttdph'a-thite,  and 


Ja-iz-a-nl'ah  the  son  of  a  Ma- 
ftch'a-thite,  they  and  their  men, 

24  And  G*d-a-ii'ah  sware  to 
them,  and  to  their  men,  and 
said  unto  them,  Fear  not  to  be 
the  servants  oi  the  CbaTdees: 
dwell  in  the  land,  and  serve  the 
king  of  Bab'jMon ;  and  it  shall 
be  well  with  you. 

25  But  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
seventh  month,  that  Ish'tna-cl 
the  son  of  Nfith-a-ni'ah,  the  son 
oi  E-Ush'a-ma,  of  the  seed  royal, 
came,  and  ten  men  with  him* 
and  smote  GeUa-li'ah,  that  he 
died,  and  the  Jews,  and  the 
Chal'deea  that  were  with  him 
at  MIz'pah. 

26  And  all  the  people,  both 
small  and  great,  and  the  cap- 
tains oi  the  armies,  arose,  and 
came  to  E'&jfpt:  for  they  were 
afraid  of  the  Chal'deea. 

27  IT  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
seven  and  thirtieth  year  of  the 
captivity  of  JS-hoi'a-chin  king 
of  Ju'dah,  in  the  twelfth  month, 
on  the  seven  and  twentieth  day 
of  the  month,  that  £Ml-m&rft'* 
dach  king  of  BaVjMon  in  the 
year  that  he  began  to  reign  did 
lift  up  the  head  of  J&hoi'a-chln 
king  of  Jfl'dah  out  of  prison ; 

28  And  he  spake  kindly  to 
him,  and  set  his  throne  above 
the  throne  of  the  kings  that 
were  with  him  in  B&b'jMon; 

29  And  changed  his  prison  gar- 
ments :  and  he  did  eat  jtread  con- 
tinually before  him  all  the  days 
of  his  fife. 

30  And  his  allowance  woe  a 
continual  allowance  given  him 
of  the  king,  a  daily  rate  for  every 
day,  all  the  days  of  his  life.'

there  of  old.

king  of  Ju'dah,  and  smote  their 
tents,  and  the  habitations  that

unto  the  entering  in  of  the 
wilderness  from  the  river  Eu- 
phrates: because  their  cattle

Gil'e-ftd. 

10  And  in  the  days  of  Saul 
they  made  war  with  the  Hft'-

and  skilfal  in  war,  were  four 
and  forty  thousand  seven  hun- 
dred and  threescore,  that  went 
out  to  the  war. 

19  And  they  made  war  with 
the  Hi'gar-ites,  with  JE'tiir,  and 
Nrphish,  and  Nd'dab. 

20  And  they  were  helped 
against  them,  and  the  H&'gar- 
ites  were  delivered  into  their 
hand,  and  all  that  were  with 
them:  for  they  cried  to  God  in 
the  battle,  and  he  was  intreated 
of  them;  because  they  put  their 
trust  in  him. 

21  And  they  took  away  their 
cattle;  of  their  camels  fifty 
thousand,  and  of  sheep  two 
hundred  and  fifty  thousand,  and 
of  asses  two  thousand,  and  of 
men  an  hundred  thousand. 

22  For  there  fell  down  many 
slain,  because  the  war  was  of 
God.  And  they  dwelt  in  their 
steads  until  the  captivity. 

23  IT  And  the  children  of  the 
half  tribe  of  Ma-nfis'seh  dwelt 
in  the  land:  they  increased 
from  Ba'shfin  unto  Ba'al-heV- 
mon  and  Se'nir,  and  unto  mount 
Her'mon. 

24  And  these  were  the  heads 
of  the  house  of  their  fathers, 
even  Cpher,  and  I'shi,  and 
£-li'el,  and  Az'xVel,  and  Jer*e~

then,  and  went  a  whoring  after 
the  gods  of>  the  people  of  the 
land,  whom  God  destroyed  be-

26  And  the  God  of  Vra-el 
stirred  up  the  spirit  of  Pfil  king 
of  Afrsfrl-a,  and  the  spirit  of 
TOgath-pfl-ne'ser  king  of  As-

away,  even  the  Reu/ben4tes, 
and  the  Gfidltes,  and  the  half 
tribe  of  Ma-nfis'seh,  and  brought 
them  unto  Halah,  and  HTbdr,

13  And  their  brethren,  heads

thousand  and  seven  hundred 
and  threescore;  very  able  men 
for  the  work  of  the  service  of 
the  house  of  God. 

14  IT  And  of  the  Le'vites; 
Shem-a-I'ah  the  son  of  HaV- 
shub,  the  son  of  As'ri-kam,  the 
son  of  H&sh-a-bi'ah,  of  the  sons

e-chf'ah  the  son  of  A'sa,  the  son 
of  fiHca-nah,  that  dwelt  in  the 
villages  of  the  NMdph'a-thites. 

17  And  the  porters  were,  Sh&T- 
lum,  and  Alrkub,  and  TaTmon, 
and  A-hi'man,  and  their  breth- 
ren :  ShaTlum  was  the  chief; 

18  Who  hitherto  waited  in 
the  king's  gate  eastward :  they 
were  porters  in  the  companies 
of  the  children  of  Lg'vi. 

19  And  ShaTlum  the  son  of 
KO're,  the  son  of  fc-bi'a-saph,  the 
son  of  Kd'rah,  and  his  brethren, 
of  the  house  of  his  father,  the 
Ko'rah-ites,  were  over  the  work 
of  the  service,  keepers  of  the 
gates  of  the  tabernacle:  and 
their  fathers,  being  over  the 
host  of  the  Lord,  were  keepers 
of  the  entry. 

20  And  Phln'e-has  the  son  of 
E-le-a'zar  was  the  ruler  over 
them  in  time  past,  and  the 
Lord  was  with  him. 

21  And  Zech-a-ri'ah  the  son 
of  MS-ehSl-e-mi'ah  was  porter  of  I 


the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation. 

22  All  these  which  were 
chosen  to  be  porters  in  the 
gates  were  two  hundred  and 
twelve.  These  were  reckoned 
by  their  genealogy  in  their  vil- 
lages, whom  Dfi'vid  and  SSm'u- 
el  the  seer  did  ordain  in  their 
set  office. 

23  So  they  and  their  children 
had  the  oversight  of  the  gates 
of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
namely,  the  house  of  the  taber- 
nacle, by  wards. 

24  In  four  quarters  were  the 
porters,  toward  the  east,  west, 
north,  and  south. 

25  And  their  brethren,  which 
were  in  their  villages,  were  to 
come  after  seven  days  from 
time  to  time  with  them. 

26  For  these  U'vites,  the  four 
chief  porters,  were  in  their  set 
office,  and  were  over  the  cham 
bers  and  treasuries  of  the  house 
of  God. 

27  And  they  lodged  round 
about  the  house  of  God,  because 
the  charge  was  upon  them,  and 
the  opening  thereof  every  morn- 
ing pertained  to  them. 

28  And  certain  of  them  had 
the  charge  of  the  ministering 
vessels,  that  they  should  bring 
them  in  and  out  by  tale. 

29  Some  of  them  also  were  ap- 
pointed to  oversee  the  vessels, 
and  all  the  instruments  of  the 
sanctuary,  and  the  fine  flour, 
and  the  wine,  and  the  oil,  and 
the  frankincense,  and  the  spices. 

30  And  some  of  the  sons  of 
the  priests  made  the  ointment 
of  the  spices. 

31  And  Mat-ti-thi'ah,  one  of 
the  Le'vltes,  who  was  the  first- 
born of  ShfiHum  the  Kd'rah-ite, 
had  the  set  office  over  the  things 
that  were  made  in  the  pans. 

32  And  other  of  their  breth- 
ren, of  the  sons  of  the  KSliath- 
ites,  were  over  the  shewbread, 
to  prepare  it  every  sabbath. 

33  And  these  are  the  singers, 
chief  of  the  fathers  of  the  U'- 
vites, who  remaining  in  the 
chambers  were  free :  for  thev 
were  employed  in  that  work 
day  and  night 

34  These  chief  fathers  of  the 
Le'vites  were  chief  throughout 
their  generations;  these  dwelt 
at  Je-ru'sa-lem 

35  1f  And  in  Gib'e-on  dwelt 
the  father  of  Gib'e-on,  J£-hi'el, 
whose  wife's  name  was  Mfi'a-

Saul'*  death:  8  the  Philistine*  tri-

of  the  men  oj Jabesh-gUead  to  Saul 
and  hie  eons. 

NOW  the  Phi-lis'tines.  fought 
against  Is'ra-el;  and  the 
men  of  Ia'ra-el  fled  from  before 
the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  fell  down 
slain  in  mount  Gil-bC'a. 

2  And  the  Phi-lis'tine»  fol- 
lowed hard  after  Saul,  and  after 
his  sons;  and  the  Phi-lis'tine& 
slew  Jdn'a-than,  and  A-bin'a 
dab,  and  MaTchl-shu'a,  the  sons 
of  Saul. 

3  And  the  battle  went  sore 
against  Saul,  and  the  archers 
hit  him,  and  he  was  wounded  of 
the  archers. 

4  Then  said  Saul  to  his  ar 
mourbearer,  Draw  thy  sword, 
and  thrust  me  through  there- 
with ;  lest  these  uncircumcised 
come  and  abuse  me.  But  his 
armourbearer  would  not;  for 
he  was  sore  afraid.  So  Saul 
took  a  sword,  and  fell  upon  it 

5  And  when  his  armourbearer 
saw  that  Saul  was  dead,  he  fell 
likewise  on  the  sword,  and  died. 

6  So  Saul  died,  and  his  three 
sons,  and  all  his  house  died 
together. 

7  And  when  all  the  men  of  Is'- 
ra-el that  were  in  the  valley  saw 
that  they  fled,  and  that  Saul  and 
his  sons  were  dead,  then  they 
forsook  their  cities,  and  fled 
and  the  PhMls'tineg  came  and 
dwelt  in  them. 


8  IT  And  it  came  to  pass  on 
the  morrow,  when  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines came  to  strip  the  slain, 
that  they  found  S&ul  and  his 
sons  fallen  in  mount  Gil-b5'a. 

9  And  when  they  had  stripped 
him,  they  took  his  head,  and  his 
armour,  and  sent  into  the  land 
of  the  Phi-lis'tines  round  about, 
to  carry  tidings  unto  their  idols, 
and  to  the  people. 

10  And  they  put  his  armour  in 
the  house  of  their  gods,  and  fas- 
tened his  head  in  the  temple  of 
Da'gon. 

11  IT  And  when  all  Ja"besh- 
gil'e-ad  heard  all  that  the  Phi- 
fis'tineg  had  done  to  Saul, 

12  They  arose,  all  the  valiant 
men,  and  took  away  the  body 
of  Saul,  and  the  bodies  of  his 
sons,  and  brought  them  to  Ja'« 
besh,  and  buried  their  bones 
under  the  oak  in  Jal>esh,  and 
fasted  seven  days. 

13  IT  So  Saul  died  for  his 
transgression  which  he  com- 
mitted against  the  Lord,  even 
against  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
which  he  kept  not,  and  also  for 
asking  counsel  of  one  that  had 
a  familiar  spirit  to  enquire  of  it ; 

14  And  enquired  not  of  the 
Lord:  therefore  he  slew  him, 
and  turned  the  kingdom  unto 
Da'vid  the  son  of  Jes'se. 

CHAPTER  11 

David  made  king:  4  he  wine  the  cas- 
tle of  Zion  from  the  Jebusites  by 
Joab*s  valour:  10  a  catalogue  of 
hie  worthies. 

THEN  all  h'ra-el  gathered 
themselves  to  Da'vid  unto 
He"bron,  saying.  Behold,  we  are 
thy  bone  and  thy  flesh. 

2  And  moreover  in  time  past, 
even  when  Saul  was  king,  thou 
wast  he  that  leddest  out  and 
broughtest  in  Is'ra-el:  and  the 
Lord  thy  God  said  unto  thee, 
Thou  shalt  feed  my  people  Is/- 
ra-el,  and  thou  shalt  be  ruler 
over  my  people  Is'ra-el. 

3  Therefore  came  all  the  eld- 
ers of  ls/ra-el  to  the  king  to 
Hg'bron;  and  Da'vid  made  a 
covenant  with  them  in  He'bron 
before  the  Lord;  and  they 
anointed  Da'vid  king  over  Is'ra- 
el,  according  to  the  word  of  the 
Lord  by  Sam'u-el. 

4  If  And  Da'vid  and  all  Is'ra-el 
went  to  Je-ru/sS-lem,  which  is 
Jelras;  where  the  JSb'u-sltes 
were,  the  inhabitants  of  the 
land. 

5  And  the  inhabitants  of  JC- 
bus  said  to  Da'vid,  Thou  shalt 
not  come  hither.  Nevertheless 
Da'vid  took  the  castle  of  Zi'fin, 
which  is  the  city  of  Da'vid.

6  And  Dfi'vid  said,  Whosoever 
smiteth  the  JeVu-sites  first  shall 
be  chief  and  captain.  So  Jo'fib 
the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah  went  first 
up,  and  was  chief. 

7  And  Dfi'vid  dwelt  in  the  cas- 
tle ;  therefore  they  called  it  the 
city  of  Da'vid. 

8  And  he  built  the  city  round 
about,  even  from  MH15  round 
about:  and  J5'fib  repaired  the 
rest  of  the  city. 

9  So  Da'vid  waxed  greater  and 
greater:  for  the  Lord  of  hosts 
was  with  him. 

10  TThese  also  are  the  chief 
of  the  mighty  men  whom  Da'- 
vid had,  who  strengthened 
themselves  with  him  in  his 
kingdom,  and  with  all  Ig'ra-el, 
to  make  him  king,  according  to 
the  word  of  the  Lord  concern- 
ing Is/ra-eL 

11  And  this  is  the  number  of 
the  mighty  men  whom  Da'vid 
had ;  Jfi-sh5'be-fim,  an  Hfich'mo- 
nite,  the  chief  of  the  captains: 
he  lifted  up  his  spear  against 
three  hundred  slain  by  him  at 
one  time. 

12  And  after  him  was  E-le-fi'- 
zar  the  son  of  Dd'dd,  the  A-h5'- 
hite,  who  was  one  of  the  three 
mighties. 

13  He  was  with  Dfi'vid  at  Pfis- 
dfim'mim,  and  there.the  Phi-lis'- 
tlnes  were  gathered  together  to 
battle,  where  was  a  parcel  of 
ground  full  of  barley;  and  the 

?eople  fled   from   before   the 
hl-lis'tines. 

14  And  they  set  themselves  in 
the  midst  of  that  parcel,  and 
delivered  it,  and  slew  the  Phi- 
Hs'tines;  and  the  Lord  saved 
them  by  a  great  deliverance. 

15  Now  three  of  the  thirty 
captains  went  down  to  the 
rock  to  Dfi'vid,  into  the  cave  of 
A-dullam ;  and  the  host  of  the 
Phl-Hs'tines  encamped  in  the 
valley  of  Reph'a-im. 

16  And  Da'vid  was  then  in 
the  hold,  and  the  Phi-lis'tines/ 
garrison  was  then  at  B£th'-1£- 
h£m. 

17  And  Da'vid  longed,  and 
said,  Oh  that  one  would  give 
me  drink  of  the  water  of  the 
well  of  B6th'-16-hem,  that  is  at 
the  gate ! 

18  And  the  three  brake 
through  the  host  of  the  Phi- 
Hs'tines,  and  drew  water  out 
of  the  well  of  BSth'-lS-hem, 
that  was  by  the  gate,  and  took 
it,  and  brought  it  to  Dfi'vid: 
but  Dfi'vid  would  not  drink 
of  it,  but  poured  it  out  to  the 
Lord, 

19  And  said,  My  God  forbid  it 

422 


me,  that  I  should  do  this  thing : 
shall  I  drink  the  blood  of  these 
men  that  have  put  their  lives 
in  jeopardy  ?  for  with  the  jeop- 
ardy o/their  lives  they  brought 
it  Therefore  he  would  not 
drink  it  These  things  did 
these  three  mightiest 

20  And  A-bish'a-i  the  brother 
of  Jd'fib,  he  was  chief  of  the 
three :  for  lifting  up  his  spear 
against  three  hundred,  he  slew 
them,  and  had  a  name  among 
the  three. 

21  Of  the  three,  he  was  more 
honourable  than  the  two;  for 
he  was  their  captain:  howbeit 
he  attained  not  to  the  first 
three. 

22  BS-nfi'iah  the  son  of  JeV 
hoi'a-da,  the  son  of  a  valiant 
man  of  Kfib'ze-el,  who  had  done 
many  acts;  he  slew  two  lion- 
like men  of  Md'ab:  also  he 
went  down  and  slew  a  lion  in  a 
pit  in  a  snowy  day. 

23  And  he  slew  an  £-£ft>'tian, 
a  man  of  great  stature,  five  cu- 
bits high;  and  in  the  &£ 
tian's  hand  was  a  spear  like  a 
weaver's  beam;  and  he  went 
down  to  him  with  a  staff,  and 

lucked  the  spear  out  of  the 
t-gyp'tian's  hand,  and  slew  him 
with  his  own  spear.' 

24  These  things  did  B$-nfilah 
the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da,  and  had 
the  name  among  the  three 
mighties. 

25  Behold,  he  was  honourable 
among  the  thirty,  but  attained 
not  to  the  first  three:  and  Dfi'- 
vid set  him  over  his  guard. 

26  Also  the  valiant  men  of 
the  armies  were,  A'sa-hel  the 
brother  of  Jd'fib,  El-ha'nan  the 
son  of  Do  do  of  Kth'-lS-hem, 

27  Shfim'moth  the  Ha'ro-rite,

CHAPTER  12 

The  companies  that  came  to  David 
atZfcdao:  23  the  armies  that  came 
to  him  at  Hebron, 

NOW  these  are  they  that 
came  to  Da'vid  to  Zlklfig, 
while  he  yet  kept  himself  close 
because  of  Saul  the  son  of  Klsh 
and  they  were  among  the 
mighty  men,  helpers  of  the 
war. 

2  They  were  armed  with  bows, 
and  could  use  both  the  right 
hand  and  the  left  in  hurling 
stones  and  shooting  arrows  out 
of  a  bow,  even  of  Saul's  breth- 
ren of  Ben'ja-mln. 

3  The  chief  was  A-hi-e'zer, 
then  Jd'ash,  the  sons  of  She- 
ma'ah  the  Gib'e-ath-ite ;  and 
Je'zi-el,  and  Pelet,  the  sons 
of  Az'ma-v£th;  and  BeVa-chah, 
and  Je'hu  the  An'toth-ite, 

4  And  Is-ma-i'ah  the  Glb'e-on- 
Ite,  a  mighty  man  among  the 
thirty,  and  over  the  thirty ;  and 
Jer-e-mi'ah,  and  Ja-ha'zi-el,  and 
Jo-hS'nan,  and  JdYa-b&d  the 
GSd'e-rath-ite, 

5  fi-lu'za-i,  and  JSrl-raflth,  and 
B&a-li'ah,  and  ShSm-a-ri'ah,  and 
Shej>h*-ti'ah  the  HaTu-phite, 

6  ElltS-nah,  and  Je-si  ah,  and 
A-zaVe-el,  and  J6-e'zerf  and  Ja- 
shd'he-am,  the  KorTiites, 

7  And  Jo-elan,  and  ZeWdi'ah, 
the  sons  of  JeVo-ham  of  Ge'dor. 

8  And  of  the  Gad'Ites  there 


separated  themselves  unto  Da'- 
via  into  the  hold  to  the  wilder- 
ness men  of  might,  and  men  of 
war  Jit  for  the  battle,  that  could 
handle  shield  and  buckler, 
whose  faces  were  like  the  faces 
of  lions,  and  were  as  swift  as 
the  roes  upon  the  mountains; 

9  E'zer  the  first,  O-ba-di'ah  the 
second,  £-H'ab  the  third, 

10  Mish-man'nah  the  fourth, 
Jer-e-mi'ah  the  fifth, 

11  At'tai  the  sixth,  £-li'el  the 
seventh, 

12  Jd-hfi'nan  the  eighth,  fil'za- 
b&d  the  ninth, 

13  Jgr-e-mrahthetenth,M2ch'- 
ba-nai  the  eleventh. 

14  These  were  of  the  sons  of 
Gad,  captains  of  the  host:  one 
of  the  least  was  over  an  hun- 
dred, and  the  greatest  over  a 
thousand. 

15  These  are  they  that  went 
over  Jordan  in  the  first  month, 
when  it  had  overflown  all  his 
banks;  and  they  put  to  flight 
all  them  of  the  valleys,  both  to- 
ward the  east,  and  toward  the 
west 

16  And  there  came  of  the 
children  of  Ben'ja-min  and  Ju' 
dah  to  the  hold  unto  Da'vid. 

17  And  Dfi'vid  went  out  to 
meet  them,  and  answered  and 
said  unto  them,  If  ye  be  come 
peaceably  unto  me  to  help  me, 
mine  heart  shall  be  knit  unto 
you:  but  if  ye  be  come  to  be- 
tray me  to  mine  enemies,  see- 
ing there  is  no  wrong  in  mine 
hands,  the  God  of  our  fathers 
look  thereon,  and  rebuke  it. 

18  Then  the  spirit  came  upon 
A-mas'a-i,  who  was  chief  of  the 
captains,  and  he  said,  Thine 
are  we,  Da'vid,  and  on  thy  side, 
thou  son  of  Jes'se :  peace,  peace 
be  unto  thee,  and  peace  oe  to 
thine  helpers ;  for  thy  God  help- 
eth  thee.  Then  Da'vid  received 
them,  and  made  them  captains 
of  the  band. 

19  And  there  fell  some  of  Ma 
n&s'seh  to  Da'vid,  when  he 
came  with  the  Phl-Ks'tlnea 
against  Saul  to  battle :  but  they 
helped  them  not :  for  the  lords 
of  the  Phl-lls'tines  upon  advise- 
ment sent  him  away,  saying, 
He  will  fall  to  his  master  Saul 
to  the  jeopardy  o/our  heads. 

20  As  he  went  to  Ziklag,  there 
fell  to  him  of  Ma-naYseh,  Ad'- 
nah,  and  J&z'a-bad,  and  JS-di'a- 
el,  and  MTchael,  and  Jdz'a-bad, 
and  £-li'hu,  and  Zil'thai,  cap- 
tains of  the  thousands  that 
were  of  Ma-nas'seh. 

21  And  they  helped  Da'vid 
against  the  band  of  the  rovers :

for  they  were  all  mighty  men 
of  valour,  and  were  captains  in 
the  host. 

22  For  at  that  time  day  by 
day  there  came  to  Da'vid  to 
help  him,  until  it  was  a  great 
host,  like  the  host  of  Goal 

23  IFAnd  these  are  the  num- 
bers of  the  bands  that  were 
ready  armed  to  the  war,  and 
came  to  Da'vid  to  HS'bron,  to 
turn  the  kingdom  of  Saul  to 
him,  according  to  the  word  of 
the  Lord. 

24  The  children  of  Ja'dah  that 
bare  shield  and  spear  were  six 
thousand  and  eight  hundred, 
ready  armed  to  the  war. 

25  Of  the  children  of  Slra'- 
e-on,  mighty  men  of  valour  for 
the  war,  seven  thousand  and 
one  hundred. 

26  Of  the  children  of  LTvi 
four  thousand  and  six  hundred. 

27  And  JS-hoi'a-da  was  the 
leader  of  the  AaVon-ites,  and 
with  him  were  three  thousand 
and  seven  hundred ; 

28  And  Za'dftk,  a  young  man 
mighty  of  valour,  and  of  his 
father's  house  twenty  and  two 
captains.' 

29  And  of  the  children  of  Ben' 
ja-mln,  the   kindred  of   Saul 
three   thousand:  for  hitherto 
the  greatest  part  of  them  had 
kept  the  ward  of  the  house  of 
Saul. 

30  And  of  the  children  of 
E'phrfi-Im  twenty  thousand  and 
eight  hundred,  mighty  men  of 
valour,  famous  throughout  the 
house  of  their  fathers. 

31  And  of  the  half  tribe  of 
Mfi-naYseh  eighteen  thousand, 
which  were  expressed  by  name, 
to  come  and  make  Da'vid  king. 

32  And  of  the  children  of  Is'sa- 
char,  which  were  men  that  had 
understanding  of  the  times,  to 
know  what  Is  ra-el  ought  to  do ; 
the  heads  of  them  were  two 
hundred ;  and  all  their  brethren 
were  at  their  commandment. 

33  Of  ZeVu-lun,  such  as  went 
forth  to  battle,  expert  in  war, 
with  all  instruments  of  war, 
fifty  thousand,  which  could  keep 
rank:  they  were  not  of  double 
heart 

34  And  of  NSph'ta-H  a  thou- 
sand captains,  and  with  them 
with  shield  and  spear  thirty  and 
seven  thousand. 

35  And  of  the  D&nltes  expert 
in  war  twenty  and  eight  thou- 
sand and  six  hundred. 

36  And  of  Ash'e"r,  such  as  went 
forth  to  battle,  expert  in  war, 
forty  thousand. 

37  And  on  the  other  side  of 


JoYdan,  of  the  Reu/ben-ites,  and 
the  Gfidltes,  and  of  the  half 
tribe  of  Ma-naYseh,  with  all 
manner  of  instruments  of  war 
for  the  battle,  an  hundred  and 
twenty  thousand. 

38  All  these  men  of  war,  that 
could  keep  rank,  came  with  a  per- 
fect heart  to  Hebron,  to  make 
Dft'vid  king  over  all  Is/ra-el :  and 
all  the  rest  also  of  la'ra-el  were 
of  one  heart  to  make  Dfi'vid 
king. 

39  And  there  they  were  with 
DS'vid  three  days,  eating  and 
drinking:  for  their  brethren 
had  prepared  for  them. 

40  Moreover  they  that  were 
nigh  them,  even  unto  Is'sa-char 
and  ZeVu-lun  and  Nfiph'ta-H, 
brought  bread  on  asses,  and  on 
camels,  and  on  mules,  and  on 
oxen,  and  meat,  meal,  cakes  of 
figs,  and  bunches  of  raisins,  and 
wine,  and  oil,  and  oxen,  and 
sheep  abundantly:  for  there 
was  joy  in  la'ra-el. 

CHAPTER  13 

David  fetches  the  ark  Jrom  Kirjath- 
jearitn.  9  Utza  being  smitten,  the 
arkisleAatthehousetfObed+dom. 

AND  Da'vid  consulted  with 
the  captains  of  thousands 
and  hundreds,  and  with  every 
leader 

2  And  Da'vid  said  unto  all  the 
congregation  of  la'ra-el,  If  it 
seem  good  unto  you,  and  that 
it  be  of  the  Lord  our  God,  let 
us  send  abroad  unto  our  breth- 
ren everywhere,  that  are  left  in 
all  the  land  of  la'ra-el,  and  with 
them  also  to  the  priests  and 
Le'vites  which  are  in  their 
cities  and  suburbs,  that  they 
may  gather  themselves  unto  us : 

3  And  let  us  bring  again  the 
ark  of  our  God  to  us:  for  we  en- 
quired not  at  it  in  the  days  of 
Saul. 

4  And  all  the  congregation  said 
that  they  would  do  so :  for  the 
thing  was  right  in  the  eyes  of 
all  the  people. 

5  So  Da'vid  gathered  all  la'ra-el 
together,  from  ShiTidr  of  fffctpt 
even  unto  the  entering  of  Hfi'- 
math,  to  bring  the  ark  of  God 
from  Kir'jath-jS'a-rim. 

6  And  DS'vid  went  up,  and 
all  h'ra-el,  to  Ba'al-ah,  that  is, 
to  Kir'jath--j€'a-rim,  which  6e- 
longed  to  Ju'dah,  to  bring  up 
thence  the  ark  of  God  the  Lord, 
that  dwelleth  between  the  cher- 
ubims,  whose  name  is  called  on 
it 

7  And  they  carried  the  ark  of 
God  in  a  new  cart  out  of  the 
house  of  A-bln'a-dab :  and  Cz'z& 
and  A-hi'O  drave  the  cart

8  And  David  and  all  Ig'ra-el 
played  before  God  with  all  their 
might,  and  with  singing,  and 
with  harps,  and  with  psalteries, 
and  with  timbrels,  and  with 
cymbals,  and  with  trumpets. 

9  f  And  when  they  came  unto 
the  threshingfloor  of  Chi'don, 
Oz'za  put  forth  his  hand  to  hold 
the  ark ;  for  the  oxen  stumbled. 

10  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  Oz'za,  and 
he  smote  him,  because  he  put 
his  hand  to  the  ark:  and  there 
he  died  before  God. 

11  And  Dfi'vid  was  displeased, 
because  the  Lord  had  made  a 
breach  upon  Oz'za:  wherefore 
that  place  is  called  Pe'rez-uz'za 
to  this  day. 

12  And  Dfi'vid  was  afraid  of 
God  that  day,  saying,  How  shall 
I  bring  the  ark  of  God  home  to 
me? 

13  So  Dfi'vid  brought  not  the 
ark  home  to  himself  to  the  city 
of  Dfi'vid,  but  carried  it  aside 
into  the  house  of  O'bed-S'dom 
the  Glftite. 

14  And  the  ark  of  God  re- 
mained with  the  family  of 
Cbed-6'dom  in  his  house  three 
months.  And  the  Lord  blessed 
the  house  of  01>ed-€'dom,  and 
all  that  he  had. 

CHAPTER  14 

Hiram's  kind**—  to  David.  2  Da- 
vid* b  felicity:  3  Ass  wives:  8 
his  two  victories  over  the  Phffls- 
t&ncs. 

NOW  Hi'ram  king  of  Tyre 
sent  messengers  to  Dfi'vid, 
and  timber  of  cedars,  with  ma- 
sons and  carpenters,  to  build 
him  an  house. 

2  And  Da'vid  perceived  that 
the  Lord  had  confirmed  him 
king  over  Is'ra-el,  for  his  king- 
dom was  lifted  up  on  high,  be- 
cause of  his  people  Is'ra-el. 

3  IT  And  Dfi'vid  took  more 
wives  at  JeVru'sa-lem :  and  Dfi'- 
vid begat  more  sons  and  daugh- 
ters. 

4  Now  these  are  the  names 
of  his  children  which  he  had  in 
J&ru'sfi-lein ;  Shfim-mu'a,  and 
Shffbfib,  Nfi'than,  and  SoTo- 
mon, 

5  And  Ibliar,  and  fil-i-shu'a, 
and  £l'pa-l£t, 

6  And  Nd'gah,  and  NS'pheg, 
and  Jfi-phi'a, 

7  And  £-lish'a-ma,  and  BS-el- 
i'a-da,  and  fi-liph'a-l«t 

8  fAnd  when  the  Phi-lis'tlnes. 
heard  that  Dfi'vid  was  anointed 
king  over  all  Is'ra-el,  all  the 
Phi-Hs'tines.  went  up  to  seek 
Dfi'vid.  And  Dfi'vid  heard  of 
it,  and  went  out  against  them. 

425 


9  And  the  Phl-Hs'tlnes  came 
and  spread  themselves  in  the 
valley  of  RSph'a-lm. 

10  And  Dfi'vid  enquired  of 
God,  saying.  Shall  I  go  up 
against  the  Phi-lis'tineg?  And 
wilt  thou  deliver  them  into 
mine  hand?  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  him,  Go  up;  for  I  will 
deliver  them  into  thine  hand. 

11  So  they  came  up  to  Bfi'- 
al-peYa-zim ;  and  Dfi'vid  smote 
them  there.  Then  Dfi'vid  said, 
God  hath  broken  in  upon  mine 
enemies  by  mine  hand  like  the 
breaking  forth  of  waters :  there- 
fore they  called  the  name  of 
that  place  Ba'al-peVa-zim. 

12  And  when  they  had  left 
their  gods  there,  Dfi'vid  gave  a 
commandment,  and  they  were 
burned  with  fire. 

13  And  the  Phl-Us'tlne?  yet 
again  spread  themselves  abroad 
in  the  valley. 

14  Therefore  Dfi'vid  enquired 
again  of  God ;  and  God  said  un- 
to him,  Go  not  up  after  them; 
turn  away  from  them,  and  come 
upon  them  over  against  the 
mulberry  trees. 

15  And  it  shall  be,  when  thou 
shalt  hear  a  sound  of  going  in 
the  tops  of  the  mulberry  trees, 
that  then  thou  shalt  go  out  to 
battle:  for  God  is  gone  forth 
before  thee  to  smite  the  host  of 
the  Phf-lis'tines. 

16  Dfi'vid  therefore  did 
God  commanded  him :  and  they 
smote  the  host  of  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines  from  GIb'e-on  even  to 
Ga'zer. 

17  And  the  fame  of  Dfi'vid 
went  out  into  all  lands;  and 
the  Lord  brought  the  fear  of 
him  upon  all  nations. 

CHAPTER  15 

David  brings  the  ark  from  Obed- 
edom :  25  he  attends  the  solemnity 
with  great  joy :  29  Miehal  despises 
him. 

AND  Da'vid  made  him 
houses  in  the  city  of  Dfi'- 
vid, and  prepared  a  place  for 
the  ark  ox  God,  and  pitched  for 
it  a  tent 

2  Then  Dfi'vid  said,  None 
ought  to  carry  the  ark  of  God 
but  the  L?vf tes :  for  them  hath 
the  Lord  chosen  to  carry  the 
ark  of  God,  and  to  minister  un- 
to him  for  ever. 

3  And  Dfi'vid  gathered  all  Is'- 
ra-el together  to  Je*-ru'sfi-lSm,  to 
bring  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
unto  his  place,  which  he  had 
prepared  for  it. 

4  And  Dfi'vid  assembled  the 
children  of  AftVon,  and  the  L£'- 
vites:

Am-mln'a-d&b  the  chief,  and 
his  brethren  an  hundred  and

11  And  DaVid  called  for  ZT- 
ddk  and  A-bi'a-thar  the  priests, 
and  for  the  Le'vites,  for  O'ri-el, 
A-sa-i'ah,  and  Jd'el,  Shgm-a-i'ah, 
and  Eli'd,  and  Am-min'a-d&b, 

12  And  said  unto  them.  Ye  are 
the  chief  of  the  fathers  of  the 
Le'vites:  sanctify  yourselves, 
both  ye  and  your  brethren,  that 
ye  may  bring  up  the  ark  of  the 
Lord  God  of  fs'ra-el  unto  the 
place  that  I  have  prepared 
for  it 

13  For  because  ye  did  it  not 
at  the  first,  the  Lord  our  God 
made  a  breach  upon  us,  for  that 
we  sought  him  not  after  the  due 
order. 

14  So  the  priests  and  the  Le'- 
vites sanctified  themselves  to 
bring  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
God  of  Is/ra-eL 

15  And  the  children  of  the 
Legates  bare  the  ark  of  God 
upon  their  shoulders  with  the 
staves  thereon,  as  Md'ges,  com- 
manded according  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord. 

16  And  Dfi'vid  spake  to  the 
chief  of  the  Le'vites  to  appoint 
their  brethren  to  be  the  singers 
with  instruments  of  musick, 
psalteries  and  harps  and  cym- 
bals, sounding,  by  lifting  up  the 
voice  with  joy. 

17  So  the  Le'vites  appointed 
Herman  the  son  of  JS'el ;  and  of 
his  brethren,  A'saph  the  son  of 
Ber-e-chi'ah ;  and  of  the  sons  of 
M6-ra"ri  their  brethren,  Cthan 
the  son  of  Ku-shfi'iah; 

18  And  with  them  their  breth- 
ren of  the  second  degree,  Zech- 
a-ri'ah,  Ben,  and  Jfi-a'zi-el,  and 
Sh&mir'a-mdth,  and  J£-hi'el,  and 
On'ni,  £-irab„  and  Be-ni'iah, 
and  M&a-sTiah,  and  Mfit-ti-thi'- 
ah,  and  fi-liph'e4eh,  and  Mik- 
nS'iah,  and  01>ed-S'dom,  and 
JeM'el,  the  porters. 

19  So  the  singers,  Herman, 
A'saph,  and  ffthan,  were  ap- 


pointed to  sound  with  cymbals 
of  brass ; 

20  And  Zech-a-ri'ah,  and  A'ri- 
el,  and  ShS-mir'a-mdth,  and  Jfe- 
hi'el,  and  Gn'ni,  and  E-lTab,  and 
Mfi-a-s£'iah,  and  BS-nfi'iah,  with 
psalteries  on  ATa-mdth ; 

21  And  M&t-ti-thi'ah,  and 
fi-lrph'e-leh,  and  Mik-nS'iah,  and 
O'bed-e'dom,  and  Jfe-i'el,  and  Ax- 
a-zi'ah,  with  harps  on  the  Shem'- 
i-nith  to  excel. 

22  And  Ch€n-a-nrah,  chief  of 
the  Le'vites,  was  for  song:  he 
instructed  about  the  song;  be- 
cause he  was  skilful. 

23  And  Ber-e-chi'ah  and  Ellta- 
nah  were  doorkeepers  for  the 
ark. 

24  And  ShSb-a-ni'ah,  and  Jfc- 
hfish'a-ph&t,  and  NeVthta'e-el, 
and  A-mfis'a-i,  and  Zech-a-ri'ah, 
and  B£-n&'iah,  and  E4i-*'t&,  the 
priests,  did  blow  with  the  trump- 
ets before  the  ark  of  God:  and 
Cbed-e'dom  and  Je-hi'ah  were 
doorkeepers  for  the  ark. 

25  %  So  David,  and  the  elders 
of  Ig'ra-el,  and  the  captains  over 
thousands,  went  to  bring  up  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord 
out  of  the  house  of  Cbed-6'dom 
with  joy. 

26  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
God  helped  the  U'vites  that 
bare  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of 
the  Lord,  that  they  offered 
seven  bullocks  and  seven  rams. 

27  And  Dfi'vid  was  clothed 
with  a  robe  of  fine  linen,  and 
all  the  Le'vites  that  bare  the 
ark,  and  the  singers,  and  Chen 
a-ni'ah  the  master  of  the  song 
with  the  singers:  Dfi'vid  also 
had  upon  him  an  ephod  of  linen. 

28  Thus  all  ls'ra-el  brought  up 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord  with  shouting,  and  with 
sound  of  the  comet,  and  with 
trumpets,  and  with  cymbals, 
making  a  noise  with  psalteries 
and  harps. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord 
came  to  the  city  of  Dfi'vid.  that 
Mi'chal  the  daughter  of  Saul 
looking  out  at  a  window  saw 
king  Dfi'vid  dancing  and  play- 
ing: and  she  despised  him  in 
her  heart

SO  they  brought  the  ark  of,

of  the  tent  that  Dfi'vid  had 
pitched  for  it :  and  they  offered 
burnt  sacrifices  and  peace  offer- 
ings before  God.

an  end  of  offering  the  burnt 
offerings  and  the  peace  offer- 
ings; he  blessed  the  people  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord. 

3  And  he  dealt  to  every  one  of 
Is/ra-el,  both  man  and  woman, 
to  every  one  a  loaf  of  bread, 
and  a  good  piece  of  flesh,  and  a 
flagon  of  wine. 

4  If  And  he  appointed  certain 
of  the  Le'vites  to  minister  be- 
fore the  ark  of  the  Lord,  and 
to  record,  and  to  thank  and 
praise  the  Lord  God  of  Is/ra-el : 

5  A'saph  the  chief,  and  next 
to  him  Zech-a-ri'ah,  JeM'el,  and 
She-mir'a-mdth,  and  Jt-hi'el, 
and  Mat-ti-thi'ah,  and  fi-li'ab, 
and  BS-n&'iah,  and  01>ed-€'- 
dom:  and  JS-i'el  with  psalteries 
and  with  harps;  but  A'saph 
made  a  sound  with  cymbals; 

<»Bc-nft'iah  also  and  Ja-ha'- 
zi-el  the  priests  with  trumpets 
continually  before  the  ark  of 
the  covenant  of  God. 

7  t  Then  on  that  day  Da'vid 
delivered  first  this  psalm  to 
thank  the  Lord  into  the  hand 
of  A'saph  and  his  brethren. 

8  Give  thanks  unto  the  Lord, 
call  upon  his  name,  make  known 
his  deeds  among  the  people. 

9  Sing  unto  him,  sing  psalms 
unto  him,  talk  ye  of  all  his  won- 
drous works. 

10  Glory  ye  in  his  holy  name : 
let  the  heart  of  them  rejoice 
that  seek  the  Lord. 

11  Seek  the  Lord  and  his 
strength,  seek  his  face  contin- 
ually. 

12  Remember  his  marvellous 
works  that  he  hath  done,  his 
wonders,  and  the  judgments  of 
his  mouth ; 

13  O  ye  seed  of  Is/ra-el  his 
servant,  ye  children  of  J&'cob, 
his  chosen  ones. 

14  He  is  the  Lord  our  God; 
his  judgments  are  in  all  the 
earth. 

15  Be  ye  mindful  always  of 
his  covenant;  the  word  which 
he  commanded  to  a  thousand 
generations; 

16  Even  of  the  covenant 
which  he  made  with  Abra- 
ham, and  of  his  oath  unto 
Tgaac; 

17  And  hath  confirmed  the 
same  to  Jft'eob  for  a  law,  and 
to  Is/ra-el  for  an  everlasting 
covenant, 

18  Saying,  Unto  thee  will 
give  the  land  of  Cft'na&n,  the 
lot  of  your  inheritance ; 

19  When  ye  were  but  few, 
even  a  few,  and  strangers  in 
it 

20  And  when  they  went  from 


nation  to  nation,  and  from  one 
kingdom  to  another  people ; 

21  He  suffered  no  man  to  do 
them  wrong:  yea,  he  reproved 
kings  for  their  sakes, 

22  Saying,  Touch  not  mine 
anointed,  and  do  my  prophets 
no  harm. 

23  Sine  unto  the  Lord,  all  the 
earth;  shew  forth  from  day  to 
day  his  salvation. 

24  Declare  his  glory  among 
the  heathen;  his  marvellous 
works  among  all  nations.

26  For  all  the  gods  of  the  peo-

presence;  strength  and  gladness

earth :  the  world  also  shall  be

and  let  the  earth  rejoice :  and 
let  men  say  among  the  nations, 
The  Lord  reigneth. 

32  Let  the  sea  roar,  and  the

mercy  endureth  for  ever. 

35  And  say  ye,  Save  us,  O  God 
of  our  salvation,  and  gather  us 
together,  and  deliver  us  from 
the  heathen,  that  we  may  give 
thanks  to  thy  holy  name,  and 
glory  in  thy  praise. 

36  Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of 
ls/ra-el  for  ever  and  ever.  And

praised  the  Lord.

CHAPTER  17 

David,  forbidden  to  build  God  an 
house,  11  <8  promised  blessings  in 
his  seed.  It  His  prayer  and  thanks- 
giving. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass,  as  Da'- 
vid  sat  in  his  house,  that 
Da'vid  said  to  Na'than  the 
prophet,  Lo,  I  dwell  in  an  house 
of  cedars,  but  the  ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord  remain- 
eth  under  curtains. 

2  Then  Na'than  said  unto  Da'- 
vid,  Do  all  that  is  in  thine 
heart ;  for  God  is  with  thee. 

3  ITAnd  it  came  to  pass  the 
same  night,  that  the  word  of 
God  came  to  Na'than,  saying, 

4  Go  and  tell  Da'vid  my  serv- 
ant, Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Thou 
shalt  not  build  me  an  house  to 
dwell  in : 

5  For  I  have  not  dwelt  in  an 
house  since  the  day  that  I 
brought  up  Is/ra-el  unto  this 
day;  but  have  gone  from  tent 
to  tent,  and  from  one  taber- 
nacle to  another. 

6  Wheresoever  I  have  walked 
with  all  Ig'ra-el,  spake  I  a  word 
to  any  of  the  judges  of  Is/ra-el, 
whom  I  commanded  to  feed  my 
people,  saying,  Why  have  ye 
not  built  me  an  house  of  cedars  ? 

7  Now  therefore  thus  shalt 
thou  say  unto  my  servant  Da'- 
vid, Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  I  took  thee  from  the 
sheepcote,  even  from  following 
the  sheep,  that  thou  shouldest 
be  ruler  over  my  people  lg'ra-el 

8  And  I  have  been  with 
thee  whithersoever  thou  hast 
walked,  and  have  cut  off  all 
thine  enemies  from  before  thee, 


and  have  made  thee  a  name 
like  the  name  of  the  great  men 
that  are  in  the  earth. 

9  Also  I  will  ordain  a  place 
for  my  people  Is/ra-el,  and  will 
plant  them,  and  they  shall  dwell 
in  their  place,  and  shall  be 
moved  no  more;  neither  shall 
the  children  of  wickedness 
waste  them  any  more,  as  at  the 
beginning, 

10  And  since  the  time  that  I 
commanded  judges  to  be  over 
my  people  ls/ra-el.  Moreover 
I  will  subdue  all  thine  enemies. 
Furthermore  I  tell  thee  that  the 
Lord  will  build  thee  an  house. 

11  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  thy  days  be  expired  that 
thou  must  go  to  be  with  thy  fa- 
thers, that  I  will  raise  up  thy 
seed  after  thee,  which  shall  be 
of  thy  sons;  and  I  will  estab- 
lish his  kingdom. 

12  He  shall  build  me  an  house, 
and  I  will  stablish  his  throne 
for  ever. 

13  I  will  be  his  father,  and  he 
shall  be  my  son :  and  I  will  not 
take  my  mercy  away  from  him, 
as  I  took  it  from  htm  that  was 
before  thee: 

14  But  I  will  settle  him  in 
mine  house  and  in  my  kingdom 
for  ever:  and  his  throne  shall 
be  established  for  evermore. 

15  According  to  all  these 
words,  and  according  to  all  this 
vision,  so  did  Na'than  speak  un- 
to Da'vid. 

16  ITAnd  Da'vid  the  king  came 
and  sat  before  the  Lord,  and 
said.  Who  am  I,  O  Lord  God, 
and  what  is  mine  house,  that 
thou  hast  brought  me  hitherto  ? 

17  And  yet  this  was  a  small 
thing  in  thine  eyes,  O  God ;  for 
thou  hast  also  spoken  of  thy 
servant's  house  for  a  great 
while  to  come,  and  hast  regard- 
ed me  according  to  the  estate 
of  a  man  of  high  degree,  O 
Lord  God. 

18  What  can  Da'vid  speak 
more  to  thee  for  the  honour  of 
thy  servant?  for  thou  knowest 
thy  servant 

19  0  Lord,  for  thy  servant's 
sake,  and  according  to  thine 
own  heart,  hast  thou  done  all 
this  greatness,  in  making  known 
all  these  great  things. 

20  O  Lord,  there  is  none  like 
thee,  neither  is  there  any  God 
beside  thee,  according  to  all 
that  we  have  heard  with  our 
ears. 

21  And  what  one  nation  in 
the  earth  is  like  thy  people  I3'- 
ra-el,  whom  God  went  to  re- 
deem to  be  his  own  people,  to

make  thee  a  name  of  greatness 
and  terribleness,  by  dnving  out 
nations  from  before  thy  people, 
whom  thou  hast  redeemed  out 
offiWpt? 

22  For  thy  people  Is/ra-el  didst 
thou  make  thine  own  people 
for  ever;  and  thou,  Lord,  be- 
camest  their  God. 

23  Therefore  now,  Lord,  let 
the  thing  that  thou  hast  spoken 
concerning  thy  servant  and 
concerning  his  house  he  estab-

hast  said. 

24  Let  it  even  be  established, 
that  thy  name  may  be  magni- 
fied for  ever,  saying,  The  Lord 
of  hosts  is  the  God  of  Ig'ra-el, 
even  a  God  to  Is/ra-el :  and  let 
the  house  of  Da'vid  thy  servant 
be  established  before  thee. 

25  For  thou,  0  my  God,  hast 
told  thy  servant  that  thou  wilt 
build  him  an  house:  therefore 
thy  servant  hath  found  in  his 
heart  to  pray  before  thee. 

26  And  now,  Lord,  thou  art 
God,  and  hast  promised  this 
goodness  unto  thy  servant : 

27  Now  therefore  let  it  please 
thee  to  bless  the  house  of  thy 
servant,  that  it  may  be  before 
thee  for  ever:  for  thou  bless- 
est,  0  Lord,  and  it  shall  be 
blessed  for  ever. 

CHAPTER  18 

David  subdues  the  Philistine*  and 
Moabites,  3  and  smites  Hadarezer 
and  the  Syrians  ;  \i  his  good  reign, 
etc. 

NOW  after  this  it  came  to 
pass,  that  Da'vid  smote 
the  PhMfe'tines,  and  subdued 
them,  and  took  GSth  and  her 
towns  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
Phi-lis'tinea. 

2  And  he  smote  Mo'ab;  and 
the  M5'ab-ites  became  Da'vid's 
servants,  and  brought  gifts. 

3  IT  And  DS'vid  smote  Had-ar- 
?zer  king  of  ZCbah  unto  Ha'- 
math,  as  he  went  to  stablish 
his  dominion  by  the  river  Efi- 
phra'tea. 

4  And  DS'vid  took  from  him  a 
thousand  chariots,  and  seven 
thousand  horsemen,  and  twen- 
ty thousand  footmen:  Da'vid 
also  houghed  all  the  chariot 
horses,  but  reserved  of  them 
an  hundred  chariots. 

5  And  when  the  Syrl-ang  of 
Dfi-mas'cus  came  to  help  HSd- 
aWzer  king  of  ZoT>ah,  Da'vid 
slew  of  the  Syrl-ang  two  and 
twenty  thousand  men. 

6  Then  Da'vid  put  garrisons 
in  Sjhrt-a-da-maVcus ;  and  the 
Sjhrl*ng  became  Da'vid's  serv- 
ants, and  brought  gifts.    Thus 


the    Lord    preserved    Da'vid 
whithersoever  he  went 

7  And  Da'vid  took  the  shields 
of  gold  that  were  on  the  serv- 
ants of  HaU&r-e'zer,and  brought 
them  to  J£-ru's&-lem. 

8  Likewise  from  TIb'h&th,  and 
from  Chiin,  cities  of  H&d-ar-e'zSr, 
brought  Da'vid  very  much  brass, 
wherewith  SoTo-mon  made  the 
brasen  sea,  and  the  pillars,  and 
the  vessels  of  brass. 

9  IT  Now  when  TS'fi  king  of 
Ha'math  heard  how  Da'vid  had 
smitten  all  the  host  of  Had-ar- 
5'ierkingof  ZCbah; 

10  He  sent  Ha-d5'ram  his  son 
to  king  Da'vid,  to  enquire  of 
his  welfare,  and  to  congratu- 
late him,  because  he  had  fought 
against  Had-ar-e"zer,  and  smit- 
ten him:  (for  Had-ar-e'z£r  had 
war  with  To'fl ;)  and  with  him 
all  manner  of  vessels  of  gold 
and  silver  and  brass. 

11  Them  also  king  Da'vid  dedi- 
cated unto  the  Lord,  with  the 
silver  and  the  gold  that  he 
brought  from  all  these  nations ; 
from  B'dom,  and  from  M5'ab, 
and  from  the  children  of  Am' 
m8n,  and  from  the  Phi-lis'tines, 
and  from  Am'a-lgk. 

12  Moreover  A-bish'a-I  the  son 
of  Zer-u-i'ah  slew  of  the  G'dom- 
Ites  in  the  valley  of  salt  eight- 
een thousand. 

13  And  he  put  garrisons  in 
E'dom;  and  all  the  E'dom-ites 
became  Da'vid's  servants.  Thus 
the  Lord  preserved  Da'vid 
whithersoever  he  went 

14  IT  So  Da'vid  reigned  over 
all  Is'ra-el,  and  executed  iu<Tt 
ment  and  justice  among  all  his 
people. 

15  And  JS'&b  the  son  of  Zer- 
u-i'ah  was  over  the  host;  and 
jg-h6sh'a-phat  the  son  of  A-hi'- 
lud,  recorder. 

16  AndZa'ddkthesonof  A-hi 
tub,  and  A-bim'e-lech  the  son  of 
A-bi'a-thar,  were  the  priests; 
and  Sh&v'sha  was  scribe; 

17  And  B6-na'iah  the  son  of 
J£-hoi'a-da  was  over  the  CheV- 
e-thites  and  the  PeTe-thites ; 
and  the  sons  of  Da'vid  were 
chief  about  the  king. 

CHAPTER  19 

David's  messengers,  sent  to  comfort 
Hanun,  are  disgracefully  treated. 
6  Joab  and  Abtshai  overcome  the 
Ammonites.  16  Shophach  slain  by 
David. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass  after 
this,  that  Na'hash  the  king 
of  the  children  of  Am'mSn  died, 
and  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead 
2  And  Da'vid  said,  I  will  shew 
kindness  unto  Ha'nun  the  son

of  NfiTiSsh,  because  his  father 
shewed  kindness  to  me.  And 
Da'vid  sent  messengers  to  com- 
fort him  concerning  his  father. 
So  the  servants  of  Da'vid  came 
into  the  land  of  the  children 
of  Am'mdn  to  Ha'nun,  to  com- 
fort him. 

3  But  the  princes  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mdn  said  to  Hfi'- 
nun,  Thinkest  thou  that  Da'vid 
doth  honour  thy  father,  that  he 
hath  sent  comforters  unto  thee  ? 
are  not  his  servants  come  unto 
thee  for  to  search,  and  to  over- 
throw, and  to  spy  out  the  land  ? 

4  Wherefore  Ha'nun  took  Da'- 
vid's  servants,  and  shaved  them, 
and  cut  off  their  garments  in 
the  midst  hard  by  their  but- 
tocks, and  sent  them  away. 

5  Then  there  went  certain, 
and  told  Da'vid  how  the  men 
were  served.  And  he  sent  to 
meet  them :  for  the  men  were 
greatly  ashamed.  And  the  king 
said,  Tarry  at  JeVl-chd  until 
your  beards  be  grown,  and  then 
return. 

6  IFAnd  when  the  children  of 
Am'm5n  saw  that  they  had 
made  themselves  odious  to  Da'- 
vid, Ha'nun  and  the  children  of 
Am'm6n  sent  a  thousand  talents 
of  silver  to  hire  them  chariots 
and  horsemen  out  of  M£s-o-p5- 
ta'ml-a,  and  out  of  Sf  rl-a-ma'a- 
chah,  and  out  of  Zo'oah. 

7  So  they  hired  thirty  and  two 
thousand  chariots,  and  the  king 
of  Ma'a-chah  and  his  people; 
who  came  and  pitched  before 
Mdd'e-ba.  And  the  children  of 
Am'mdn  gathered  themselves 
together  from  their  cities,  and 
came  to  battle. 

8  And  when  Da'vid  heard  of  it, 
he  sent  Jd'fib,  and  all  the  host 
of  the  mighty  men. 

9  And  the  children  of  Am'mdn 
came  out,  and  put  the  battle  in 
array  before  the  gate  of  the  city: 
and  the  kings  that  were  come 
were  by  themselves  in  the  field. 

10  Now  when  Jo'fib  saw  that 
the  battle  was  set  against  him 
before  and  behind,  he  chose  out 
of  all  the  choice  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
put  them  in  array  against  the 
Syrl-ang. 

11  And  the  rest  of  the  people 
he  delivered  unto  the  hand  of 
A-blsh'a-i  his  brother,  and  they 
set  themselves  in  array  against 
the  children  of  Am'mdn. 

12  And  he  said,  If  the  S?rf-ans 
be  too  strong  for  me,  then  thou 
shalt  help  me :  but  if  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mdn  be  too  strong 
for  thee,  then  I  will  help  thee.  . 

13  Be  of  good  courage,  and  \et\them  with  saws,  and  with  har- 

430 


us  behave  ourselves  valiantly 
for  ourpeople,  and  for  the  cities 
of  our  God:  and  let  the  Lord  do 
that  which  is  good  in  his  sight 

14  So  Jo'&b  and  the  people 
that  were  with  him  drew  nigh 
before  the  Syrl-ang  unto  the 
battle;  and  they  fled  before  him. 

15  And  when  the  children  of 
Am'mdn  saw  that  the  Sjfrf -ans. 
were  fled,  they  likewise  fled  be- 
fore A-bish'a-i  his  brother,  and 
entered  into  the  city.  Then 
Jo'fib  came  to  JS-ru'sa-lem. 

16  f  And  when  the  Syrl-ana 
saw  that  they  were  put  to  the 
worse  before  Is'ra-el,  they  sent 
messengers,  and  drew  forth  the 
Syrl-ana  that  were  beyond  the 
river:  and  Shd'phfich  the  cap- 
tain of  the  host  of  Hfid^r^xer 
went  before  them. 

17  And  it  was  told  Dft'vid;  and 
he  gathered  all  Is'ra-el,  and 
passed  over  Jor'dan,  and  came 
upon  them,  and  set  the  battle  in 
array  against  them.  So  when 
Da'vid  had  put  the  battle  in 
array  against  the  Sjfrl-ana,  they 
fought  with  him. 

18  But  the  Sjrrl-ans  fled  before 
Is'ra-el ;  and  Da'vid  slew  of  the 
Syrl-ans.  seven  thousand  men 
which  fought  in  chariots,  and 
forty  thousand  footmen,  and 
killed  Shd'phach  the  captain  of 
the  host 

19  And  when  the  servants  of 
Hfid-ar-g'zer  saw  that  they  were 
put  to  the  worse  before  frra-el, 
they  made  peace  with  Da'vid, 
ana  became  his  servants:  nei- 
ther would  the  Sjnrl-ens.  help 
the  children  of  Am'mdn  any 
more.

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that 
after  the  year  was  expired, 
at  the  time  that  kings  go  out 
to  battle,  JO'fib  led  forth  the 
power  of  the  army,  and  wasted 
the  country  of  the  children  of 
Am'mdn,  and  came  and  besieged

2  And  Da'vid  took  the  crown

of  gold,  and  there  were  precious 
stones  in  it ;  and  it  was  set  upon

also  exceeding  much  spoil  out  of

Even  so  dealt  Da'vid  with  all 
the  cities  of  the  children  of 
Am'mSn.  And  Da'vid  and  allthe 
people  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

4  f  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
this,  that  there  arose  war  at 
Ge'z£rwith  the  Phi-lis'tlnea;  at 
which  time  Slt/be-chSi  the  Hu' 
shath-ite  slew  Sip'p&i,  that  was 
of  the  children  of  the  giant: 
and  they  were  subdued. 

5  And  there  was  war  again 
with  the  Phi-lis'tines;  and  £1- 
hfl'nan  the  son  of  Ja'ir  slew 
Lah'mi  the  brother  of  Go-li'ath 
the  GIf  tite,  whose  spear  staff 
was  like  a  weaver's  beam. 

6  And  yet  again  there  was  war 
at  Gfith,  where  was  a  man  of 
great  stature,  whose  fingers  and 
toes  were  four  and  twenty,  six 
on  each  hand,  and  six  on  each 
foot :  and  he  also  was  the  son 
of  the  giant 

7  Bat  when  he  defied  Is/ra-el, 
J5n'a-than  the  son  of  Shim'e-a 
Da"vid's  brother  slew  him, 

8  These  were  born  unto  the 
giant  in  G&th;  and  they  fell  by 
the  hand  of  Da'vid,  and  by  the 
hand  of  his  servants. 

CHAPTER  21 

David  mine  in  numbering  the  people, 
14  whereupon  seventy  thousand 
arm  destroyed  by  pestilence.  18  He 
builds  an  altar. 

AND  Si'tan  stood  up  against 
Ig'ra-el,  and  provoked  Da 
vid  to  number  Ia'ra-eL 

2  And  Da'vid  said  to  Jd'fib  and 
to  the  rulers  of  the  people,  Go, 
number  Is/ra*el  from  Be'er-she' 
ba  even  to  Dfin ;  and  bring  the 
number  of  them  to  me,  that  I 
may  know  it. 

3  And  Jd'fib  answered,  The 
Lord  make  his  people  an  hun- 
dred times  so  many  more  as 
they  be :  but,  my  lord  the  king, 
are  they  not  all  my  lord's  serv- 
ants? why  then  doth  my  lord 
require  this  thing  ?  why  will  he 
be  a  cause  of  trespass  to  Ig'ra-el  ? 

4  Nevertheless  the  king's  word 
prevailed  against  Jd'fib.  Where- 
fore Jd'&b  departed,  and  went 
throughout  all  Ig'ra-el,  and  came 
to  Jfr-ru's&'le'm. 

5  And  JS'&b  gave  the  sum  of 
the  number  of  the  people  unto 
Da'vid  And  all  they  o/ls/ra-el 
were  a  thousand  thousand  and 
an  hundred  thousand  men  that 
drew  sword:  and  JQ'dah  was 
four  hundred  threescore  and  ten 
thousand  men  that  drew  sword. 

6  But  Le'vi  and  Ben'ja-min 
counted  he  not  among  them: 
for  the  king's  word  was  abom- 
inable to  jm. 


7  And  God  was  displeased  with 
this  thing;  therefore  he  smote 
Is/ra-el. 

8  And  D&'vid  said  unto  God,  I 
have  sinned  greatly,  because  I 
have  done  this  thing:  but  now, 
I  beseech  thee,  do  away  the 
iniquity  of  thy  servant;  for  I 
have  done  very  foolishly. 

9  HAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Gftd,  Da'vid' s  seer,  saving, 

10  Go  and  tell  Da'vid,  saying. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  I  offer 
thee  three  thinas :  choose  thee 
one  of  them,  that  I  may  do  it 
unto  thee. 

11  So  Gftd  came  to  Da'vid,  and 
said  unto  him,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Choose  thee 

12  Either  three  years' famine ; 
or  three  months  to  be  destroyed 
before  thy  foes,  while  that  the 
sword  of  thine  enemies  over- 
taketh  thee ;  or  else  three  days 
the  sword  of  the  Lord,  even 
the  pestilence,  in  the  land*  and 
the  angel  of  the  Lord  destroy- 
ing throughout  all  the  coasts  of 
Is'ra-eL  Now  therefore  advise 
thyself  what  word  I  shall  bring 
again  to  him  that  sent  me. 

13  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Gfid, 
I  am  in  a  great  strait :  let  me 
fall  now  into  the  hand  of  the 
Lord;  for  very  great  are  his 
mercies:  but  let  me  not  fall 
into  the  hand  of  man. 

14  IT  So  the  Lord  sent  pesti- 
lence upon  Ia'ra-el:  and  there 
fell  of  Ia'ra-el  seventy  thousand 
men. 

15  And  God  sent  an  angel 
unto  J£-rg's&-lem  to  destroy  it: 
and  as  he  was  destroying,  the 
Lord  beheld,  and  he  repented 
him  of  the  evil,  and  said  to  the 
angel  that  destroyed,  It  is 
enough,  stay  now  thine  hand* 
And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
stood  by  the  threshingfloor  of 
Or'nan  the  JeVu-site. 

16  And  Da'vid  lifted  up  his 
eyes,  and  saw  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  stand  between  the  earth 
and  the  heaven,  having  a  drawn 
sword  in  his  hand  stretched  out 
over  Je-ru'sa-lem.  Then  D&'vid 
and  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el,  who 
were  clothed  in  sackcloth,  fell 
upon  their  faces. 

17  And  Dl'vid  said  unto  God, 
Is  it  not  I  that  commanded  the 
people  to  be  numbered?  even  I 
it  is  that  have  sinned  and  done 
evil  indeed ;  but  as  for  these 
sheep,  what  have  they  done? 
let  thine  hand,  I  pray  thee,  O 
Lord  my  God,  be  on  me,  and  on 
my  father's  house;  but  not  on 
thy  people,  that  they  should  be 
plagued.

18  f  Then  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  commanded  Gad  to  say 
to  Da'vid,  that  Da'vid  should  go 
up,  and  set  up  an  altar  unto  the 
Lord  in  the  threshhigfloor  of 
Or'nan  the  J€b'u-site. 

19  And  Da'vid  went  up  at  the 
saying  of  Gad,  which  he  spake 
in  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

20  And  Or'nan  turned  back, 
and  saw  the  angel;  and  his 
four  sons  with  him  hid  them- 
selves. Now  Or'nan  was  thresh- 
ing wheat 

21  And  as  Da'vid  came  to  Or'- 
nan, Or'nan  looked  and  saw 
Da'vid,  and  went  out  of  the 
threshingfloor,  and  bowed  him- 
self to  Da'vid  with  his  face  to 
the  ground. 

22  Then  Da'vid  said  to  Or'nan, 
Grant  me  the  place  of  this 
threshingfloor,  that  I  may  build 
an  altar  therein  unto  the  Lord  : 
thou  shalt  grant  it  me  for  the 
full  price :  that  the  plague  may 
be  stayed  from  the  people. 

23  And  Or'nan  said  unto  Da'- 
vid, Take  it  to  thee,  and  let  my 
lord  the  king  do  that  which  ie 
good  in  his  eyes :  lo,  I  give  thee 
the  oxen  also  for  burnt  offer- 
ings, and  the  threshing  instru- 
ments for  wood,  and  the  wheat 
for  the  meat  offering;  I  give 
it  all. 

24  And  king  Da'vid  said  to 
Or'nan,  Nay;  but  I  will  verily 
buy  it  for  the  full  price :  for  I 
will  not  take  that  which  is 
thine  for  the  Lord,  nor  offer 
burnt  offerings  without  cost 

25  So  Da'vid  gave  to  Or'nan 
for  the  place  six  hundred  shek- 
els of  gold  by  weight 

26  And  Da'vid  built  there  an 
altar  unto  the  Lord,  and  offered 
burnt  offerings  and  peace  offer- 
ings, and  called  upon  the  Lord  ; 
and  he  answered  him  from 
heaven  by  fire  upon  the  altar 
of  burnt  offering. 

27  And  the  Lord  commanded 
the  angel;  and  he  put  up  his 
sword  again  into  the  sheath 
thereof. 

28  %  At  that  time  when  Da'vid 
saw  that  the  Lord  had  answered 
him  in  the  threshingfloor  of 
Or'nan  the  JeVu-site,  then  he 
sacrificed  there. 

29  For  the  tabernacle  of  the 
Lord,  which  Md'ses.  made  in 
the  wilderness,  and  the  altar  of 
the  burnt  offering,  were  at  that 
season  in  the  high  place  at 
Gib'e-on. 

30  But  Da'vid  could  not  go  be- 
fore it  to  enquire  of  God :  for 
he  was  afraid  because  of  the 
sword  of  the  angel  of  the  Lord.

CHAPTER  22 
David   prepares  for   building  the 
temple* 

THEN  Da'vid  said,  This  is  the 
house  of  the  Lord  God,  and 
this  is  the  altar  of  the  burnt 
offering  for  Is'ra-el. 

2  And  Da'vid  commanded  to 
gather  together  the  strangers 
that  were  in  the  land  of  Is'ra- 
el;  and  he  set  masons  to  hew 
wrought  stones  to  build  the 
house  of  God. 

3  And  Da'vid  prepared  iron  in 
abundance  for  the  nails  for  the 
doors  of  the  gates,  and  for  the 
joinings;  and  brass  in  abun 
dance  without  weight ; 

4  Also  cedar  trees  in  abun 
dance:  for  the  ZI-d5'm-ans  and 
they  of  Tyre  brought  much 
cedar  wood  to  Da'vid. 

5  And  Da'vid  said,  SdTo-mon 
my  son  is  young  and  tender, 
and  the  house  that  is  to  be 
builded  for  the  Lord  must  be 
exceeding  magnifical,  of  fame 
and  of  glory  throughout  all 
countries :  I  will  therefore  now 
make  preparation  for  it.  So 
Da'vid  prepared  abundantly  be- 
fore his  death. 

6  IT  Then  he  called  for  SdTo- 
mon  his  son,  and  charged  him 
to  build  an  house  for  the  Lord 
God  of  ls'ra-eL 

7  And  Da'vid  said  to  SdTo-mon, 
My  son,  as  for  me,  it  was  in  my  p.p.2  S.7.2. 
mind  to  build  an  house  unto  the 
name  of  the  Lord  my  God : 

8  But  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  me,  saying,  Thou  hast 
shed  blood  abundantly,  and  hast  p.p.l  K5J. 
made  great  wars:  thou  shalt  not 
build  an  house  unto  my  name, 
because  thou  hast  shed  much 
blood  upon  the  earth  in  my 
sight 

9  Behold,  a  son  shall  be  born 
to  thee,  who  shall  be  a  man 
of  rest;  and  I  will  give  him 
rest  from  ail  his  enemies  round 
about:  for  his  name  shall  be 
SdTo-mon,  and  I  will  give  peace 
and  quietness  unto  Is'ra-el  in 
his  days. 

10  He  shall  build  an  house  for 
my  name;  and  he  shall  be  my 
son,  and  I  will  be  his  father; 
and  I  will  establish  the  throne 
of  his  kingdom  over  Is'ra-el  for 
ever. 

11  Now,  my  son,  the  Lord  be 
with  thee;  and  prosper  thou, 
and  build  the  house  of  the  Lord 
thy  God,  as  he  hath  said  of  thee. 

12  Only  the  Lord  give  thee 
wisdom  and  understanding,  and 
give  thee  charge  concerning  Is'- 
ra-el,  that  thou  mayest  keep  the  De.17.19.  Keep  the 
law  of  the  Lord  thy  God.

13  Then  shalt  thou  prosper, 
if  thou  takest  heed  to  fulfil  the 
statutes  and  judgments  which 
the  Lord  charged  Mo'ses,  with 
concerning  Is'ra-el:  be  strong, 
and  of  good  courage;  dread  not, 
nor  be  dismayed. 

14  Now,  behold,  in  my  trouble 
I  have  prepared  for  the  house  of 
the  Lord  an  hundred  thousand 
talents  of  gold,  and  a  thousand 
thousand  talents  of  silver;  and 
of  brass  and  iron  without 
weight;  for  it  is  in  abundance : 
timber  also  and  stone  have  I 
prepared;  and  thou  may  est  add 
thereto. 

15  Moreover  there  are  work- 
men with  thee  in  abundance, 
hewers  and  workers  of  stone 
and  timber,  and  all  manner  of 
cunning  men  for  every  manner 
of  work. 

16  Of  the  gold,  the  silver,  and 
the  brass,  and  the- iron,  there  is 
no  number.  Arise  therefore, 
and  be  doing,  and  the  Lord  be 
with  thee. 

17  UDfi'vid  also  commanded 
all  the  princes  of  Is'ra-el  to  help 
SoTo-mon  his  son,  saying, 

18  Is  not  the  Lord  your  God 
with  you?  and  hath  he  not 
given  you  rest  on  every  side  ? 
for  he  hath  given  the  inhabit- 
ants of  the  land  into  mine  hand ; 
and  the  land  is  subdued  before 
the  Lord,  and  before  his  people. 

19  Now  set  your  heart  and 
your  soul  to  seek  the  Lord 
your  God ;  arise  therefore,  and 
build  ye  the  sanctuary  of  the 
Lord  God,  to  bring  the  ark  of 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  and 
the  holy  vessels  of  God,  in- 
to the  house  that  is  to  be  built 
to  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  23 

Tavid  makee  Solomon  king.  2  Num- 
ber and  distribution  of  die  Levites. 
7  Sons  of  Gershon,  12  of  Kohath, 
21  and  of  Merari.  24  Office  of  the 
Levites. 

SO  when  Dfi'vid  was  old  and 
full  of  days,  he  made  S6T0- 
mon  his  son  king  over  Is/ra-el. 

2  IT  And  he  gathered  together 
all  the  princes  of  Is'ra-el,  with 
the  priests  and  the  LeVites. 

3  Now  the  LeVites  were  num- 
bered from  the  age  of  thirty 
years  and  upward:  and  their 
number  by  their  polls,  man  by 
man,  was  thirty  and  eight  thou- 
sand. 

4  Of  which,  twenty  and  four 
thousand  were  to  set  forward 
the  work  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord;  and  six  thousand  were 
officers  and  judges: 

5  Moreover     four     thousand 


were  porters ;  and  four  thou* 
sand  praised  the  Lord  with  the 
instruments  which  I  made,  said 
Da'vid,  to  praise  therewith. 

6  And  Da  vid  divided  them  in 
to  courses  among  the  sons  of 
LeVi,  namely,  GeYshdn,  Ko"- 
hath,  and  MS-rfi'ri. 

7  f  Of  the  GeVshon-ites  were, 
La'a-dan,  and  Shim'e-i. 

8  The  sons  of  La'a-dan;  the 
chief  was  JS-hi'el,  and  Ze'tham, 
and  Jd'el,  three. 

9  The  sons  of  Shlm'e4 ;  SheT- 
o-mlth,  and  Hfl'zi-el,  and  Ha'ran, 
three.  These  were  the  chief 
of  the  fathers  of  L&'*d&n. 

10  And  the  sons  of  Shira'e-i 
were,  J&'h&th,  Zi'na,  and  Je'ush, 
and  Be-ri'ah.  These  four  were 
the  sons  of  Shim'e-i. 

11  And  Ja'hSth  was  the  chief, 
and  Zl'zah  the  second :  but  J«'- 
ush  and  B&ri'ah  had  not  many 
sons;  therefore  they  were  in 
one  reckoning,  according  to 
their  father's  house. 

12  IT  The  sons  of  KoTiath; 
Am'r&m,  hilar,  HCbron,  and 
Oz'zi-el,  four. 

13  The  sons  of  Am'ram ;  Aar- 
on and  Md'seg :  and  AaYon  was 
separated,  that  he  should  sanc- 
tify the  most  holy  things,  he 
and  his  sons  for  ever,  to  burn 
incense  before  the  Lord,  to  min- 
ister unto  him,  and  to  bless  in 
his  name  for  ever. 

14  Now  concerning  Md'ses, 
the  man  of  God,  his  sons  were 
named  of  the  tribe  of  LCvi. 

15  The  sons  of  MO'ses  were, 
GeYsh5m,  and  £-li-6'zer. 

16  Of  the  sons  of  Gershdm, 
SheVu-el  was  the  chief. 

17  And  the  sons  of  &4i<4'z£r 
were,  Re-ha-bi'ah  the  chief. 
And  &U-e'zer  had  none  other 
sons ;  but  the  sons  of  Re-ha-bf* 
ah  were  very  many. 

18  Of  the  sons  of  Vhar;  SheT- 
o-mith  the  chief. 

19  Of  the  sons  of  He"bron; 
JS-ri'ah  the  first,  Am-a-ri'ah  the 
second,  JS-ha'zi-el  the  third,  and 
JSk-a-me'am  the  fourth. 

20  Of  the  sons  of  tfc'zi-el; 
Mi'cah  the  first,  and  Je-si'ah  the 
second. 

21  IT  The  sons  of  MS-ri'ri; 
Mahli,  and  Mu'shi.  The  sons 
of  Mahli;  &4e-&'zar,  and  Kish. 

22  And  £-le-a'zar  died,  and  had 
no  sons,  but  daughters:  and 
their  brethren  the  sons  of  Kish 
took  them. 

23  The  sons  of  Mu'shi;  Mahli, 
and  &d€r,  and  Jer'e-mdth,  three. 

24  HThese  were  the  sons  of 
LeVi  after  the  house  of  their 
fathers ;  even  the  chief  of  the

fathers,  as  they  were  counted 
by  number  of  names  by  their 
polls/that  did  the  work  for  the 
service  of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
from  the  age  of  twenty  years 
and  upward. 

25  For  Da'vid  said,  The  Lord 
God  of  ls/ra-el  hath  given  rest 
unto  his  people,  that  they  may 
dwell  in  .fe-ru'sfi-lem  for  ever 

26  And  also  unto  the  LS'vites ; 
they  shall  no  mere  carry  the 
tabernacle,  nor  any  vessels  of 
it  for  the  service  thereof. 

27  For  by  the  last  words  of 
Dfl'vid  the  Le"vites  were  num- 
bered from  twenty  years  old 
and  above: 

28  Because  their  office  was  to 
wait  on  the  sons  of  Aftrtra  for 
the  service  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  in  the  courts,  and  in  the 
chambers,  and  in  the  purifying 
of  all  holy  things,  and  the  work 
of  the  service  of  the  house  of 
God; 

29  Both  for  the  shewbread,  and 
for  the  fine  flour  for  meat  offer- 
ing, and  for  the  unleavened 
cakes,  and  for  that  which  is 
baked  in  the  pan,  and  for  that 
which  is  fried,  and  for  all  man- 
ner of  measure  and  siie ; 

30  And  to  stand  every  morning 
to  thank  and  praise  the  Lord, 
and  likewise  at  even ; 

31  And  to  offer  all  burnt  sac 
rifices  unto  the  Lord  in  the  sab- 
baths, in  the  new  moons,  and 
on  the  set  feasts,  by  number, 
according  to  the  order  com- 
manded unto  them,  continually 
before  the  Lord  : 

32  And  that  they  should  keep 
the  charge  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation,  and  the 
charge  of  the  noly  place,  and 
the  charge  of  the  sons  of  Aar'on 
their  brethren,  in  the  service  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  24 
Division*  of  the  eons  of  Aaron  into 
four  and   twenty  orders.    20  Ths 
Kohathites  26  and  Meraritee  di- 
vided by  lot. 

NOW  these  are  the  divisions 
of  the  sons  of  Aar'on.  The 
sons  of  Aar'on;  Na'dfib,  and 
A-biTiu,  E-le-a'zar,  and  lth'a- 
mfir. 

2  But  N&'dfib  and  A-bilifi  died 
before  their  father,  and  had  no 
children :  therefore  £-le-a'zar 
and  Ith'a-mar  executed  the 
priest* s  office. 

3  And  Da'vid  distributed  them, 
both  Za'dftk  of  the  sons  of  E-le- 
a'sar,  and  A-him'e-lech  of  the 
sons  of  Ith'a-mar,  according  to 
their  offices  in  their  service. 

4  And  there  were  more  chief 


men  found  of  the  sons  of  &le- 
fi'zar  than  of  the  sons  of  lth'- 
a-mar;  and  thus  were  they 
divided.  Among  the  sons  of 
E-le-a'zar  there  were  sixteen 
chief  men  of  the  house  of  their 
fathers,  and  eight  among  the 
sons  of  Ith'a-mar  according  to 
the  house  of  their  fathers. 

5  Thus  were  they  divided  by 
lot,  one  sort  with  another;  for 
the  governors  of  the  sanctuary, 
and  governors  of  the  house  of 
God,  were  of  the  sons  of  B-le- 
fi'zar,  and  of  the  sons  of  Ith'a- 
mar. 

6  And  Shem-a-i'ah  the  son  of 
N6-thfin'e-el  the  scribe,  one  of 
the  Le'vites,  wrote  them  before 
the  king,  and  the  princes,  and 
Zfi'ddk  the  priest,  and  A-him'e- 
lech  the  son  of  A-bi'a-thar,  and 
before  the  chief  of  the  fathers 
of  the  priests  and  Le'vttes :  one 
principal  household  being  taken 
for  E-le-a'zar,  and  one  taken  for 
Ith'a-mar. 

7  Now  the  first  lot  came  forth 
to  Jevhoi'a-rlb,  the  second  to 
Jfrdfi'iah, 

8  The  third  to  Hfi'rim,  the 
fourth  to  SM'rim,

CONCERNING  the  divisions

hites  woe  MS-shgl-e-mi'ah  the 
son  of  KG'rS,  of  the  sons  of 
A'saph. 

2  And  the  sons  of  M£-shel-e~

6  Also  unto  Shem-a-i'ah  his 
son  were  sons  born,  that  ruled

father:  for  they  were  mighty

son  of  (Vbsxirah :  of  Naph'ta-li, 
JeVl-mSth  the  son  of  Ar  ri-el : 

20  Of  the  children  of  r^phra- 
Im,  H6*sh€'a  the  son  of  Az-a-zi'- 
ah :  of  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nfis'- 
seh,  J6'el  the  son  of  PS-da'iah : 

21  Of  the  half  trite  of  Ma-nas' 
seh  in  GH'e*fid,  Id'dd  the  son 
of  ZSch-a-ri'ah :  of  Ben'ja-min, 
Ja-fi'si-el  the  son  of  Ab'ner : 

22  Of  Dan,  A-sfir'e-el  the  son 
of  JeVo-ham.  These  were  the 
princes  of  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el. 

23  %  But  Da'vid  took  not  the 
number  of  them  from  twenty 
years  old  and  under:  because 
the  Lord  had  said  he  would 
increase  Is'ra-el  like  to  the  stars 
of  the  heavens. 

24  Jo  flb  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah 
began  to  number,  but  he  finished 
not,  because  there  fell  wrath 
for  it  against  Is/ra-el;  neither 
was  the  number  put  in  the  ac- 
count of  the  chronicles  of  king 
Dft'vid. 

25  IT  And  over  the  king's  treas- 
ures was  Az'ma-v£th  the  son  of 
A'dl-el:  and  over  the  store- 
houses in  the  fields,  in  the  cit- 
ies, and  in  the  villages,  and  in 
the  castles,  was  Je-hdn'a-than 
the  son  of  Oz-zfah: 

26  And  over  them  that  did  the 
work  of  the  field  for  tillage  of 
the  ground  was  Ez'ri  the  son  of 
Chdflb: 

27  And  over  the  vineyards  was 
Shlm'e-i  the  Ra'math-ite :  over 
the  increase  of  the  vineyards 
for  the  wine  cellars  was  Zab'di 
theShiph'mite: 

28  And  over  the  olive  trees 
and  the  sycomore  trees  that 
were  in  the  low  plains  was  Ba'- 
al-h§'nan  the  u€d'e-rite:  and 
over  the  cellars  of  oil  was  Jo'- 
fiah: 

29  And  over  the  herds  that  fed 
in  Shar'on  was  Shlt'ra-i  the 
Shar'on-ite :  and  over  the  herds 
that  were  in  the  valleys  was 
Sha'phat  the  son  of  Adla-i : 

30  Over  the  camels  also  was 
01)11  the  Ish'ma-el-ite :  and  over 
the  asses  was  Jeh-delah  the 
Me-rdn'o-thite: 

31  And  over  the  flocks  was 
Ja'ziz  the  Ha'geMte.  All  these 
were  the  rulers  of  the  substance 
which  was  king  Da'vid's. 

32  Also  Jdn'a-than  Da'vid's 
uncle  was  a  counsellor,  a  wise 
man,  and  a  scribe:  and  Jfc-hi'el 
the  son  of  HSch'm5-ni  was  with 
the  king's  sons: 

33  And  A-hith'o-phel  was  the 
king's  counsellor:  and  HtTshfii 
the  Ar'chite  was  the  king's 
companion: 


34  And  after  A-hith'»phel  was 
Je-hoi'a-da  the  son  of  Be-nalah, 
and  A-bf 'a-thar :  and  the  general 
of  the  king's  army  was  J6'fib. 

CHAPTER  28 

David  exhorts  the  people  to  fear  God 
9  he  encourages  Solomon  to  build 
the  temple. 

AND  Dft'vid  assembled  all 
the  princes  of  Is/ra-el,  the 
princes  of  the  tribes,  and  the 
captains  of  the  companies  that 
ministered  to  the  king  by  course, 
and  the  captains  over  the  thou- 
sands, and  captains  over  the 
hundreds,  and  the  stewards  over 
all  the  substance  and  possession 
of  the  king,  and  of  his  sons,  with 
the  officers,  and  with  the  mighty 
men,  and  with  all  the  valiant 
men,  unto  J&ru'ssVlem. 

2  Then  Da'vid  the  king  stood 
up  upon  his  feet,  and  said,  Hear 
me,  my  brethren,  and  my  peo- 
ple :  As  for  me>  I  had  in  mine 
heart  to  build  an  house  of  rest 
for  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of 
the  Lord,  and  for  the  footstool 
of  our  God,  and  had  made  ready 
for  the  building: 

3  But  God  said  unto  me,  Thou 
shalt  not  build  an  house  for  my 
name,  because  thou  hast  been  a 
man  of  war,  and  hast  shed  blood. 

4  Howbeit  the  Lord  God  of 
Is/ra^el  chose  me  before  all  the 
house  of  my  father  to  be  king 
over  Is/ra-el  for  ever:  for  he 
hath  chosen  Jft'dah  to  be  the 
ruler ;  and  of  the  house  of  Ju'- 
dah,  the  house  of  my  father ; 
and  among  the  sons  of  my  fa- 
ther he  liked  me  to  makettt* 
king  over  all  Is/ra-el : 

5  And  of  all  my  sons,  (for  the 
Lord  hath  given  me  many 
sons,)  he  hath  chosen  S6To- 
mon  my  son  to  sit  upon  the 
throne  of  the  kingdom  of  the 
Lord  over  Is/ra-el. 

6  And  he  said  unto  me,  SdTo- 
mon  thy  son,  he  shall  build  my 
house  and  my  courts:  for  I 
have  chosen  him  to  be  my  son, 
and  I  will  be  his  father. 

7  Moreover  I  will  establish  his 
kingdom  for  ever,  if  he  be  con- 
stant to  do  my  commandments 
and  my  judgments,  as  at  this 
day. 

8  Now  therefore  in  the  sight 
of  all  Is/ra-el  the  congregation 
of  the  Lord,  and  in  the  audi- 
ence of  our  God,  keep  and  seek 
for  all  the  commandments  of 
the  Lord  your  God:  that  ye 
may  possess  this  good  land,  and 
leave  it  for  an  inheritance  for 
your  children  after  you  for  ever. 

9  IT  And  thou,  SdTo*mon  my 
son,  know  thou  the  God  of  thy

father,  and  serve  him  with  a 
perfect  heart  and  with  a  will- 
ing mind :  for  the  Lord  search- 
eth  all  hearts,  and  understand- 
eth  all  the  imaginations  of  the 
thoughts :  if  thou  seek  him,  he 
will  he  found  of  thee ;  but  if 
thou  forsake  him,  he  will  cast 
thee  off  for  ever. 

10  Take  heed  now;  for  the 
Lord  hath  chosen  thee  to  build 
an  house  for  the  sanctuary :  he 
strong,  and  do  it. 

11  t  Then  Dft'vid  gave  to 
SdTo-mon  his  son  the  pattern  of 
the  porch,  and  of  the  houses 
thereof,  and  of  the  treasuries 
thereof,  and  of  the  upper  cham- 
bers thereof,  and  of  the  inner 
parlours  thereof,  and  of  the 
place  of  the  mercy  seat, 

12  And  the  pattern  of  all  that 
he  had  by  tne  spirit!, ;  of  the 
courts  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  of  all  the  chambers 
round  about,  of  the  treasuries 
of  the  house  of  God,  and  of 
the  treasuries  of  the  dedicated 
things: 

13  Also  for  the  courses  of  the 
priests  and  the  Le'vites,  and  for 
all  the  work  of  the  service  of 
the  house  of'  the  Lord,  and  for 
all  the  vessels  of  service  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

14  He  gave  of  gold,  by  weight 
for  things  of  gold,  for  all  in- 
struments of  all  manner  of 
service;  silver  also  for  all  in- 
struments of  silver  by  weight, 
for  all  instruments  of  every 
kind  of  service: 

15  Even  the  weight  for  the 
candlesticks  of  gold,  and  for 
their  lamps  of  gold,  by  weight 
for  every  candlestick,  and  for 
the  lamps  thereof:  and  for  the 
candlesticks  of  silver  by  weight, 
both  for  the  candlestick,  and 
also  for  the  lamps  thereof,  ac- 
cording to  the  use  of  every  can- 
dlestick. 

16  And  by  weight  he  gave 
fold  for  the  tables  of  shew- 
iread,   for   every   table;    and 

likewise  silver  for  the  tables 
of  silver: 

17  Also  pure  gold  for  the 
fleshhooks,  and  the  bowls,  and 
the  cups:  and  for  the  golden 
basons  he  gave  gold  by  weight 
for  every  bason;  and  likewise 
silver  by  weight  for  every  ba- 
son of  silver: 

18  And  for  the  altar  of  in- 
cense refined  gold  by  weight; 
and  gold  for  the  pattern  of  the 
chariot  of  the  cherubims,  that 
spread  out  their  wings,  and 
covered  the  ark  of  the  cove- 
nant ©f  the  Lord. 


19  All  this,  said  Da'vid,  the 
Lord  made  me  understand  in 
writing  by  his  hand  upon  me, 
even  all  the  works  of  this  pat- 
tern. 

20  And  Dft'vid  said  to  SdTc- 
mon  his  son,  Be  strong  and  of 
good  courage,  and  do  it:  fear 
not,  nor  be  dismayed:  for  the 
Lord  Ood,  even  my  God,  will  be 
with  thee;  he  will  not  fail 
thee,  nor  forsake  thee,  until 
thou  hast  finished  all  the  work 
for  the  service  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord. 

21  And,  behold,  the  courses  of 
the  priests  and  the  Le'vites, 
even  they  shall  be  with  thee 
for  all  the  service  of  the  house 
of  God :  and  there  shall  be  with 
thee  for  all  manner  of  work- 
manship every  willing  skilful 
man,  for  any  manner  of  serv- 
ice :  also  the  princes  and  all  the 
people  will  he  wholly  at  thy 
commandment. 

CHAPTER  29 

David  causes  the  princes  and  people 
to  offer  for  tke  house  of  God :  10  hie 
thanksgiving:  26  his  reign  and 
death. 

FURTHERMORE  Da'vid  the 
king  said  unto  all  the  con- 
gregation, SdTo-mon  my  son, 
whom  alone  God  hath  chosen, 
is  yet  young  and  tender,  and 
the  work  is  great:  for  the  pal- 
ace is  not  for  man,  but  for  the 
Lord  God. 

2  Now  I  have  prepared  with 
all  my  might  for  the  house  of 
my  God  the  gold  for  things  to 
be  made  of  gold,  and  the  silver 
for  things  of  silver,  and  the 
brass  for  things  of  brass,  the 
iron  for  things  of  iron,  and 
wood  for  things  of  wood ;  onyx 
stones,  and  stones  to  be  set 
glistering  stones,  and  of  divers 
colours,  and  all  manner  of  pre- 
cious stones,  and  marble  stones 
in  abundance. 

3  Moreover,  because  I  have  set 
my  affection  to  the  house  of  my 
God,  I  have  of  mine  own  proper 
good,  of  gold  and  silver,  which 
I  have  given  to  the  house  of  my 
God,  over  and  above  all  that 
I  have  prepared  for  the  holy 
house, 

4  Even  three  thousand  talents 
of  gold,  of  the  gold  of  O'phlr, 
and  seven  thousand  talents  of 
refined  silver,  to  overlay  the 
walls  of  the  houses  withal: 

5  The  gold  for  things  of  gold, 
and  the  silver  for  things  of  sti- 
ver, and  for  all  manner  of  work 
to  be  made  by  the  hands  of  ar- 
tificers.   And:  who  then  is  will-

this  day  unto  the  Lord? 

6  H  Then  the  chief  of  the  fa- 
thers and  princes  of  the  tribes 
of  ls/ra-el,  and  the  captains  of 
thousands  and  of  hundreds,  with 
the  rulers  of  the  king's  work, 
offered  willingly, 

7  And  gave  for  the  service  of 
the  house  of  God  of  gold  five 
thousand  talents  and  ten  thou- 
sand drams,  and  of  silver  ten 
thousand  talents,  and  of  brass 
eighteen  thousand  talents,  and 
one  hundred  thousand  talents 
of  iron. 

8  And  they  with  whom  pre- 
cious stones  were  found  gave 
them  to  the  treasure  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  by  the  hand 
of  JS-hi'el  the  GeVshon-ite. 

9  Then  the  people  rejoiced, 
for  that  they  offered  willingly, 
because  with  perfect  heart  they 
offered  willingly  to  the  Lord 
and  DaVid  the  king  also  re- 
joiced with  great  joy. 

10  irWherefore  Da'vid  blessed 
the  Lord  before  all  the  congre- 
gation :  and  Da'vid  said,  Blessed 
be  thou,  Lord  God  of  ls/ra-el 
our  father,  for  ever  and  ever. 

11  Thine,  O  Lord,  is  the 
greatness,  and  the  power,  and 
the  glory,  and  the  victory,  and 
the  majesty :  for  all  that  is  in 
the  heaven  and  in  the  earth  is 
thine ;  thine  is  the  kingdom,  O 
Lord,  and  thou  art  exalted  as 
head  above  all. 

12  Both  riches  and  honour 
come  of  thee,  and  thou  reignest 
over  all ;  and  in  thine  hand  is 
power  and  might;  and  in  thine 
hand  it  is  to  make  great,  and 
to  give  strength  unto  all. 

13  Now  therefore,  our  God,  we 
thank  thee,  and  praise  thy 
glorious  name. 

14  But  who  am  I,  and  what  is 
my  people,  that  we  should  be 
able  to  offer  so  willingly  after 
this  sort?  for  all  things  come 
of  thee,  and  of  thine  own  have 
we  given  thee. 

15  For  we  are  strangers  before 
thee,  and  sojourners,  as  were 
all  our  fathers:  our  days  on 
the  earth  are  as  a  shadow,  and 
there  is  none  abiding. 

16  O  Lord  our  God,  all  this 
store  that  we  have  prepared  to 
build  thee  an  house  for  thine 
holy  name  cometh  of  thine 
hand,  and  is  all  thine  own. 

17  I  know  also,  my  God,  that 
thou  triest  the  heart,  and  hast 
pleasure  in  uprightness.  As  for 
me,  in  the  uprightness  of  mine 
heart  I  have  willingly  offered 
all  these  things:  and  now  have 


I  seen  with  joy  thy  people, 
which  are  present  here,  to  offer 
willingly  unto  thee. 

18  O  Lord  God  of  A'br&-h&n, 
I'gaac,  and  of  Ig'ra-el,our  fathers, 
keen  this  for  ever  in  the  imag- 
ination of  the  thoughts  of  the 
heart  of  thy  people,  and  prepare 
their  heart  unto  thee: 

19  And  give  unto  SdTo-mon 
my  son  a  perfect  heart,  to  keep 
thy  commandments,  thy  testi- 
monies, and  thy  statutes,  and  to 
do  all  these  things,  and  to  build 
thepalace,!/br  the  which  I  have 
made  provision. 

20  IT  And  Da'vid  said  to  all  the 
congregation,  Now  bless  the 
Lord  your  God.  And  all  the 
congregation  blessed  the  Lord 
God  of  their  fathers,  and  bowed 
down  |heir  heads,  and  wor- 
shipped the  Lord,  and  the  king. 

21  And  they  sacrificed  sacri- 
fices unto  the  Lord,  and  offered 
burnt  offerings  unto  the  Lord, 
on  the  morrow  after  that  day, 
even  a  thousand  bullocks,  a 
thousand  rams,  and  a  thousand 
lambs,  with  their  drink  offer- 
ings, and  sacrifices  in  abundance 
for  all  ls/ra-el: 

22  And  did  eat  and  drink  be- 
fore the  Lord  on  that  day  with 
great  gladness.  And  they  made 
SoTo-mon  the  son  of  Da'vid  king 
the  second  time,  and  anointed 
him  unto  the  Lord  to  be  the 
chief  governor,  and  Zfi'ddk  to  be 
priest 

23  Then  SoTo-mon  sat  on 
the  throne  of  the  Lord  as  king 
instead  of  Da'vid  his  father, 
and  prospered.';  and  all  ls/ra-el 
obeyed  him. 

24  And  all  the  princes,  and  the 
mighty  men,  and  all  the  sons 
likewise  of  king  Da'vid,  sub- 
mitted themselves  unto  SdTo- 
mon  the  king. 

25  And  the  Lord  magnified 
SdTo-mon  exceedingly  in  the 
sight  of  all  ls/ra-el,  and  bestowed 
upon  him  such  royal  majesty  as 
had  not  been  on  any  king  before 
him  in  ls/ra-el. 

26  H  Thus  Da'vid  the  son  of 
Jes'se  reigned  over  all  Is/ra-eL 

27  And  the  time  that  he 
reigned  over  ls/ra-el  was  forty 
years;  seven  years  reigned  he 
in  He'bron,  and  thirty  and  three 
years  reigned  he  m  Je-ru's&- 
fem. 

28  And  he  died  in  a  good  old 
age,  full  of  days,  riches,  and 
honour:  and  SdTo-mon  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

29  Now  the  acts  of  Da'vid  the 
king,  first  and  last,  behold,  they 
are  written   in   the  book  of

CHAPTER  1 

Solium  offering  of  Solomon  at  Gib- 
eon:  7  his  choice  of  wisdom  is 
blessed  by  God:  13  his  strength 
and  wealth. 

AND  Sdl'o-mon  the  son  of 
Da'vid  was  strengthened 
in  his  kingdom,  and  the  Lord 
his  God  was  with  him,  and 
magnified  him  exceedingly. 

2  Then  SdTo-mon  spake  unto 
all  ls/ra~el,  to  the  captains  of 
thousands  and  of  hundreds,  and 
to  the  pudges,  and  to  every  gov- 
ernor in  all  ls/ra-el,  the  chief  of 
the  fathers. 

3  So  Sdl'o-mon,  and  all  the 
congregation  with  him,  went  to 
the  nigh  place  that  was  at  Glb'- 
e-on;  for  there  was  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation  of 
God,  which  Md'ses,  the  servant 


of  the  Lord  had  made  in  the  from,  his  journey  to  the  high 


wilderness. 

4  But  the  ark  of  God  had  Da'- 
vid brought  up  from  Kir'jath- 
je"a-rim  to  the  place  which 
Da'vid  had  prepared  for  it :  for 
he  had  pitched  a  tent  for  it  at 
J£-ru'sa4em. 

5  ftoreover  the  brasen  altar, 
that  B&cal'e-el  the  son  of  On, 
the  son  of  Hflr,  had  made,  he 
put  before  the  tabernacle  of  the 
Lord:  and  SdTo-mon  and  the 
congregation  sought  unto  it 

6  And  SdTo-mon  went  up 
thither  to  the  brasen  altar  be- 
fore the  Lord,  which  was  at 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, and  offered  a  thousand 
burnt  offerings  upon  it 

7  IT  In  that  night  did  God 
appear  unto  SdTo-mon,  and  said 
unto  him,  Ask  what  I  shall  give 
thee. 

8  And  S6To-mon  said  unto 
God,  Thou  hast  shewed  great 
mercy  unto  Da'vid  my  father, 
and  hast  made  me  to  reign  in 
his  stead. 

9  Now,  O  Lord  God,  let  thy 
promise  unto  Da'vid  my  father 
be  established:  for  thou  hast 
made  me  king  over  a  people  like 
the  dust  of  the  earth  in  multi- 
tude. 

10  Give  me  now  wisdom  and 
knowledge,  that  I  may  go  out 

441 


and  come  in  before  this  people 
for  who  can  judge  this  thy  peo- 
ple, that  is  80  great? 

11  And  God  said  to  SdTo-mon, 
Because  this  was  in  thine  heart, 
and  thou  hast  not  asked  riehes, 
wealth,  or  honour,  nor  the  life 
of  thine  enemies,  neither  yet 
hast  asked  long  life;  but  hast 
asked  wisdom  and  knowledge 
for  thyself,  that  thou  mayest 

Judge  my  people,  over  whom  I 
lave  made  thee  king: 

12  Wisdom  and  knowledge  is 
granted  unto  thee;  and  I  will 
give  thee  riches,  and  wealth, 
and  honour,  such  as  none  of  the 
kings  have  had  that  have  been 
before  thee,  neither  shall  there 
any  after  thee  have  the  like. 

13  t  Then     SdTo-mon    came 


place  that  was  at  Gib'e-on  to 
Jg-ru'sa-lem,  from  before  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
and  reigned  over  ts'ra-el. 

14  And  Sdl'o-mon  gathered 
chariots  and  horsemen :  and  he 
had  a  thousand  and  four  hun- 
dred chariots,  and  twelve  thou- 
sand horsemen,  which  he  placed 
in  the  chariot  cities,  and  with 
the  king  at  JS-ru/sS-lem. 

15  And  the  king  made  silver 
and  gold  at  J€-ru/s&-l£m  as 
plenteous  as  stones,  and  cedar 
trees  made  he  as  the  sycomore 
trees  that  are  in  the  vale  for 
abundance. 

16  And  Sdl'o-mon  had  horses 
brought  out  of  E'gftpt,  and  linen 
yarn :  the  king's  merchants  re- 
ceived the  linen  yarn  at  a  price. 

17  And  they  fetched  up,  and 
brought  forth  out  of  E'fcjfot  a 
chariot  for  six  hundred  shekels 
of  silver,  and  an  horse  for 
an  hundred  and  fifty:  and  so 
brought  they  out  horses  for  all 
the  kings  of  the  Hlf  tites,  and 
for  the  kings  of  SyrT-a,  by  their 
means.

name  of  the  Lord,  and  an  house 
for  his  kingdom. 

2  And  SdTo-mon  told  oat 
threescore  and  ten  thousand 
men  to  bear  burdens,  and  four- 
score  thousand  to  hew  in  the 
mountain,  and  three  thousand 
and  six  hundred  to  oversee 
them. 

3  IT  And  SoTo-mon  sent  to 
Hu'ram  the  king  of  Tyre,  say- 
ing, As  thou  didst  deal  with 
Da'vid  my  father,  and  didst 
send  him  cedars  to  build  him 
an  house  to  dwell  therein,  even 
so  deal  with  me. 

4  Behold*  I  build  an  house  to 
the  name  of  the  Lord  my  God, 
to  dedicate  it  to  him,  and  to 
burn  before  him  sweet  incense, 
and  for  the  continual  shew- 
bread, and  for  the  burnt  offer- 
ings morning  and  evening,  on 
the  sabbaths,  and  on  the  new 
moons,  and  on  the  solemn  feasts 
of  the  Lord  our  God.  This  wan 
ordinance  for  ever  to  ls/ra-el. 

5  And  the  house  which  I  build 
is  great :  for  great  is  our  God 
above  all  gods. 

6  But  who  is  able  to  build  him 
an  house,  seeing  the  heaven 
and  heaven  of  heavens  cannot 
contain  him?  who  am  I  then, 
that  I  should  build  him  an  house, 
save  only  to  burn  sacrifice  be- 
fore him? 

7  Send  me  now  therefore  a 
man  cunning  to  work  in  gold, 
and  in  silver,  and  in  brass,  and 
in  iron,  and  in  purple,  and  crim- 
son, and  blue,  and  that  can 
skill  to  grave  with  the  cunning 
men  that  are  with  me  in  JQ'dah 
and  in  Je-ru'sfi-lSm,  whom  Da'- 
vid my  father  did  provide. 

8  Send  me  also  cedar  trees,  fir 
trees,  and  algum  trees,  out  of 
LeVa-non :  for  I  know  that  thy 
servants  can  skill  to  cut  timber 
in  LeVa-non;  and,  behold,  my 
servants  shall  be  with  thy  serv- 
ants, 

9  Even  to  prepare  me  timber 
in  abundance:  for  the  house 
which  I  am  about  to  build  shall 
be  wonderful  great. 

10  And,  behold,  I  will  give  to 
thy  servants,  the  hewers  that 
cut  timber,  twenty  thousand 
measures  of  beaten  wheat,  and 
twenty  thousand  measures  of 
barley,  and  twenty  thousand 
baths  of  wine,  and  twenty  thou- 
sand baths  of  oil. 

11  %  Then  Hll'ram  the  king  of 
Tyre  answered  in  writing,  which 
he  sent  to  S51'o-mon,  Because 
the  Lord  hath  loved  his  people, 
he  hath  made  thee  king  over 
them. 


12  Hfi'ram  said  moreover, 
Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of 
ls/ra-el,  that  made  heaven  and 
earth,  who  hath  given  to  Dfi'vid 
the  king  a  wise  son,  endued 
with  prudence  and  understand- 
ing, that  might  build  an  house 
for  the  Lord,  and  an  house  for 
his  kingdom. 

13  And  now  I  have  sent  a  cun- 
ning man,  endued  with  under- 
standing, of  Hfi'ram  my  father's, 

14  The  son  of  a  woman  of 
the  daughters  of  Dan,  and  his 
father  was  a  man  of  Tyre, 
skilful  to  work  in  gold,  and  in 
silver,  in  brass,  in  iron,  in  stone, 
and  in  timber,  in  purple,  in 
blue,  and  in  fine  linen,  and  in 
crimson;  also  to  grave  any 
manner  of  graving,  and  to  find 
out  every  device  which  shall  be 
put  to  him,  with  thy  cunning 
men,  and  with  the  cunning  men 
of  my  lord  Da'vid  thy  father. 

15  Now  therefore  the  wheat, 
and  the  barley,  the  oil,  and 
the  wine,  which  my  lord  hath 
spoken  of,  let  him  send  unto 
his  servants: 

16  And  we  will  cut  wood  out 
of  LeVa-non,  as  much  as  thou 
shalt  need:  and  we  will  bring 
it  to  thee  in  notes  by  sea  to 
Jop'pa;  and  thou  shalt  carry  it 
up  to  JS-ru'sS-lein. 

17  IT  And  SdTo-mon  numbered 
all  the  strangers  that  were  in 
the  land  of  ls/ra-el,  after  the 
numbering  wherewith  Dfi'vid 
his  father  had  numbered  them ; 
and  they  were  found  an  hun- 
dred and  fifty  thousand  and 
three  thousand  and  six  hundred, 

18  And  he  set  threescore  and 
ten  thousand  of  them  to  be 
bearers  of  burdens,  and  four- 
score  thousand  to  be  hewers  in 
the  mountain,  and  three  thou- 
sand and  six  hundred  overseers 
to  set  the  people  a  work. 

CHAPTER  3 

Place  and  time  of  building  the  tem- 
ple. 3  Measure  and  ornaments  of 
the  house.  8  The  holy  place.  14  The 
vail  and  pillars. 

THEN  SdTo-mon  began  to 
build  the  house  of  the 
Lord  at  J&ru'sirlem  in  mount 
Mo-ri'ah,  where  the  LORD  ap- 
peared unto  Dfl'vid  his  father, 
in  the  place  that  Da'vid  had 
prepared  in  the  threshingfloor 
of  Or'nan  the  JeVu-site. 

2  And  he  began  to  build  in 
the  second  day  of  the  second 
month,  in  the  fourth  year  of 
his  reign. 

3  IT  Now  these  are  the  things 
wherein  SdTo-mon  was  in-

the  house  of  God.  The  length 
by  cubits  after  the  first  meas- 
ure was  threescore  cubits,  and 
the  breadth  twenty  cubits. 

4  And  the  porch  that  was  in 
the  front  of  the  house,  the 
length  of  it  was  according  to 
the  breadth  of  the  house,  twenty 
cubits,  and  the  height  was  an 
hundred  and  twenty:  and  he 
overlaid  it  within  with  pure 
gold. 

5  And  the  greater  house  he 
cieled  with  fir  tree,  which  he 
overlaid  with  fine  gold,  and  set 
thereon  palm  trees  and  chains. 

6  And  he  garnished  the  house 
with  precious  stones  for  beauty : 
and  the  gold  was  gold  of  Par- 
v&'im. 

7  He  overlaid  also  the  house, 
the  beams,  the  posts,  and  the 
walls  thereof,  and  the  doors 
thereof,  with  gold;  and  graved 
cherubims  on  the  walls. 

8  And  he  made  the  most  holy 
house,  the  length  whereof  was 
according  to  the  breadth  of  the 
house,  twenty  cubits,  and  the 
breadth  thereof  twenty  cubits : 
and  he  overlaid  it  with  fine 
gold;  amounting  to  six  hun- 
dred talents. 

9  And  the  weight  of  the  nails 
was  fifty  shekels  of  gold.  And 
he  overlaid  the  upper  chambers 
with  gold. 

10  And  in  the  most  holy  house 
he  made  two  cherubims  of  im- 
age work,  and  overlaid  them 
with  gold. 

11  And  the  wings  of  the  cher- 
ubims were  twenty  cubits  long : 
one  wing  of  the  one  cherub  was 
five  cubits,  reaching  to  the  wall 
of  the  house:  and  the  other 
wing  was  likewise  five  cubits, 
reaching  to  the  wing  of  the 
other  cherub. 

12  And  one  wing  of  the  other 
cherub  was  five  cubits,  reaching 
to  the  wall  of  the  house :  and 
the  other  wing  was  five  cubits 
also,  joining  to  the  wing  of  the 
other  cherub. 

13  The  wings  of  these  cheru- 
bims spread  themselves  forth 
twenty  cubits :  and  they  stood 
on  their  feet,  and  their  faces 
were  inward. 

14  And  he  made  the  vail  of 
blue,  and  purple,  and  crimson, 
and  fine  linen,  and  wrought 
cherubims  thereon. 

15  Also  he  made  before  the 
house  two  pillars  of  thirty  and 
five  cubits  nigh,  and  the  chapi 
ter  that  was  on  the  top  of  each 
of  them  was  five  cubits. 

16  And  he  made  chains,  as  in 
the  oracle,  and  put  them  on  the 

443 


heads  of  the  pillars ;  and  made 
an  hundred  pomegranates,  and 
put  them  on  the  chains. 

17  And  he  reared  up  the  pil- 
lars before  the  temple/one  on 
the  right  hand,  and  the  other 
on  the  left;  and  called  the 
name  of  that  on  the  right  hand 
J&'chin,  and  the  name  of  that 
on  the  left  Bd'82.

Altar  of  brass.  2  Molten  tea.  6  The 
ten  lavera,  candlesticks*  and  tables. 
19  The  vessels  and  instruments  of 
gold. 

MOREOVER  he  made  an  al- 
tar of  brass,  twenty  cubits 
the  length  thereof,  and  twenty 
cubits  the  breadth  thereof,  and 
ten  cubits  the  height  thereof. 

2  1T  Also  he  made  a  molten  sea 
of  ten  cubits  from  brim  to  brim, 
round  in  compass,  and  five  cu- 
bits the  height  thereof ;  and  a 
line  of  thirty  cubits  did  compass 
it  round  about 

3  And  under  it  was  the  simili 
tude  of  oxen,  which  did  compass 
it  round  about :  ten  in  a  cubit, 
compassing  the  sea  round  about 
Two  rows  of  oxen  were  cast, 
when  it  was  cast. 

4  It  stood  upon  twelve  oxen, 
three  looking  toward  the  north, 
and  three  looking  toward  the 
west,  and  three  looking  toward 
the  south,  and  three  looking 
toward  the  east:  and  the  sea 
was  set  above  upon  them,  and 
all  their  hinder  parts  were  in- 
ward. 

5  And  the  thickness  of  it  was 
an  handbreadth,  and  the  brim 
of  it  like  the  work  of  the  brim 
of  a  cup,  with  flowers  of  lilies ; 
and  it  received  and  held  three 
thousand  baths. 

6  IT  He  made  also  ten  lavera, 
and  put  five  on  the  right  hand, 
and  five  on  the  left,  to  wash. in 
them :  such  things  as  they  of- 
fered for  the  burnt  offering 
they  washed  in  them ;  but  the 
sea  was  for  the  priests  to  wash 
in. 

7  And  he  made  ten  candle- 
sticks of  gold  according  to  their 
form,  and  set  them  in  the  tem- 
ple, five  on  the  right  hand,  and 
five  on  the  left 

8  He  made  also  ten  tables,  and 
placed  them  in  the  temple,  five 
on  the  right  side,  and  five  on 
the  left  And  he  made  an  hun- 
dred basons  of  gold. 

9  IT  Furthermore  he  made  the 
court  of  the  priests,  and  the 
great  court,  and  doors  for  the 
court,  and  overlaid  the  doors  of 
them  with  brass. 

10  And  he  set  the  sea  on  the

11  11  And   Hu'ram  made   the 
its,  and  the  shovels,  and  the 

ms.*  And  Hli'ram  finished 
the  work  that  he  was  to  make 
for  king  SdTo-mon  for  the  house 
of  God; 

12  To  tint,  the  two  pillars,  and 
the  pommels,  and  the  chapiters 
which  were  on  the  top  of  the 
two  pillars,  and  the  two  wreaths 
to  cover  the  two  pommels  of 
the  chapiters  which  were  on 
the  top  of  the  pillars; 

13  And  four  hundred  pome- 
granates on  the  two  wreaths; 
two  rows  of  pomegranates  on 
each  wreath,  to  cover  the  two 
pommels  of  the  chapiters  which 
were  upon  the  pillars. 

14  He  made  also  bases,  and 
lavers  made  he  upon  the  bases; 

15  One  sea,  ana  twelve  oxen 
under  it 

16  The  pots  also,  and  the 
shovels,  and  the  fleshhooks,  and 
all  their  instruments,  did  Hu'- 
ram  his  father  make  to  king 
SoTo-mon  for  the  house  of  the 
Lord  of  bright  brass. 

17  In  the  plain  of  J&Vdan  did 
the  king  cast  them,  in  the  clay 
ground  between  Suc'coth  and 
Zf-rM'a-thah. 

18  Thus  SoTo-mon  made  all 
these  vessels  in  great  abun- 
dance: for  the  weight  of  the 
brass  could  not  be  found  out 

19  IT  And  SoTo-mon  made  all 
the  vessels  that  were  for  the 
house  of  God,  the  golden  altar 
also,  and  the  tables  whereon 
the  shewbread  was  set; 

20  Moreover  the  candlesticks 
with  their  lamps,  that  they 
should  burn  after  the  manner 
before  the  oracle,  of  pure  gold ; 

21  And  the  flowers,  and  the 
lamps,  and  the  tongs,  made  he 
of  gold,  and  that  perfect  gold ; 

22  And  the  snuffers,  and  the 
basons,  and  the  spoons,  and  the 
censers,  of  pure  gold :  and  the 
entry  of  the  house,  the  inner 
doors  thereof  for  the  most  holy 
vlace,  and  the  doors  of  the 
house  of  the  temple,  were  of 
gold. 

CHAPTER  5 

The  dedicated  treasures.   2  Bringing 
up  of  the  ark  a/  the  covenant,  etc. 

rnHUS  all  the  work  that  S6To- 
JL  mon  made  for  the  house  of 
the  Lord  was  finished :  and  SoT- 
o-mon brought  in  all  the  things 
that  Da'vid  his  father  had  dedi- 
cated; and  the  silver,  and  the 
gold,  and  all  the  instruments, 
put  he  among  the  treasures  of 
the  house  of  God. 


2  f  Then  SoTo-mon  assembled 
the  elders  of  fs/ra-el,  and  all  the 
heads  of  the  tribes,  the  chief 
of  the  fathers  of  the  children 
of  Is/ra-el,  unto  JS-ru'sfi-lem,  to 
bring  up  the  ark  of  the  cove- 
nant of  the  Lord  out  of  the 
city  of  Da'vid,  which  is  ZHra. 

3  Wherefore  all  the  men  of  I &'• 
ra-el  assembled  themselves  un- 
to the  king  in  the  feast  which 
was  in  the  seventh  month. 

4  And  all  the  elders  of  fs/ra-el 
came ;  and  the  LC'vites  took  up 
the  ark. 

5  And  they  brought  up  the 
ark,  and  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  and  all  the  holy 
vessels  that  were  in  the  taber- 
nacle, these  did  the  priests  and 
the  LSVites  bring  up. 

6  Also  king  S6To-mon,  and  all 
the  congregation  of  I s/ra-el  that 
were  assembled  unto  him  before 
the  ark,  sacrificed  sheep  and 
oxen,  which  could  not  be  told 
nor  numbered  for  multitude. 

7  And  the  priests  brought  in 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord-  unto  his  place,  to  the 
oracle  of  the  house,  into  the 
most  holy  place,  even  under 
the  wings  of  the  cherubims: 

8  For  the  cherubims  spread 
forth  their  wings  over  the  place 
of  the  ark,  and  the  cherubims 
covered  the  ark  and  the  staves 
thereof  above. 

9  And  they  drew  out  the 
staves  of  the  ark,  that  the 
ends  of  the  staves  were  seen 
from  the  ark  before  the  oracle ; 
but  they  were  not  seen  with- 
out And  there  it  is  unto  this 
day. 

10  There  was  nothing  in  the 
ark  save  the  two  tables  which 
Md'aeg  put  therein  at  Hd'reb, 
when  the  Lord  made  a  cove- 
nant with  the  children  of  Is/- 
ra-el,  when  they  came  out  of 

11  IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  priests  were  come  out  of 
the  holy  place:  (for  all  the 
priests  that  were  present  were 
sanctified,  and  did  not  then 
wait  by  course: 

12  Also  the  LTvftes  which 
were  the  singers,  all  of  them 
of  A'saph,  of  Herman,  of  JSd'u- 
thttn,  with  their  sons  and  their 
brethren,  being  arrayed  in  white 
linen,  having  cymbals  and  psal- 
teries and  harps,  stood  at  the 
east  end  of  the  altar,  and  with 
them  an  hundred  and  twenty 
priests  sounding  with  trump- 
ets:) 

13  It  came  even  to  pass,  as  the 
trumpeters  and  singers  were  as

CHAPTER  6 


Solomon    blesses    the    people   a 
praises  God :  14  his  prayer  at  the 
consecration  of  the  tempi*. 

mHEN  said  Sdl'o-mon,  The 
X  Lord  hath  said  that  he 
would  dwell  in  the  tbkk  dark- 
ness. 

2  But  I  have  built  an  house  of 
habitation  for  thee,  and  a  place 
for  thy  dwelling  for  ever. 

3  And  the  king  turned  his  face, 
and  blessed  the  whole  congrega- 
tion of  Is/ra-el :  and  all  the  con- 
gregation of  Is/ra-el  stood. 

4  And  he  said,  Blessed  be  the 
Lord  God  of  Is/ra-el,  who  hath 
with  his  hands  fulfilled  that 
which  he  spake  with  his  mouth 
to  my  father  Da'vid,  saying, 

5  Since  the  day  that  I  brought 
forth  my  people  out  of  the  land 
of  ETgypt  I  chose  no  city  among 
all  the  tribes  of  Is/ra-el  to  build 
an  house  in,  that  my  name 
might  be  there ;  neither  chose 
I  any  man  to  be  a  ruler  over  my 
people  Is/ra-el : 

6  But  I  have  chosen  J£-ru/sa> 
lem,  that  my  name  might  be 
there;  and  have  chosen  Dfi'vid 
to  be  over  my  people  Is/ra-el. 

7  Now  it  was  in  the  heart  of 
Da'vid  my  father  to  build  an 
house  for  the  name  of  the  Lord 
God  of  Is/ra-el. 

8  But  the  Lord  said  to  Da'vid 
my  father,  Forasmuch  as  it  was 
in  thine  heart  to  build  an  house 
for  my  name,  thou  didst  well  in 
that  it  was  in  thine  heart : 

9  Notwithstanding  thou  shalt 
not  build  the  house;  but  thy 
son  which  shall  come  forth  out 
of  thy  loins,  he  shall  build  the 
house  for  my  name. 

10  The  Lord  therefore  hath 
performed  his  word  that  he 
hath  spoken :  for  I  am  risen  up 
in  the  room  of  Da'vid  my  father, 
and  am  set  on  the  throne  of 
Is/ra-el,  as  the  Lord  promised, 
and  have  built  the  house  for 
the  name  of  the  Lord  God  of 
Is/ra-el 


11  And  in  it  have  I  put  the 
ark,  wherein  is  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord,  that  he  made  with 
the  children  of  Is/ra-el. 

12  IT  And  he  stood  before  the 
altar  of  the  Lord  in  the  pres- 
ence of  all  the  congregation  of 
Is/ra-el,  and  spread  forth  his 
hands: 

13  For  Sol'o-tnon  had  made  a 
brasen  scaffold,  of  five  cubits 
long,  and  &ve  cubits  broad,  and 
three  cubits  high,  and  had  set  it 
in  the  midst  of  the  court :  and 
upon  it  he  stood,  and  kneeled 
down  upon  his  knees  before  all 
the  congregation  of  Is/ra-el,  and 
spread  forth  his  hands  toward 
heaven, 

14  And  said,  O  Lord  God  of 
Is/ra-el,  there  is  no  God  like 
thee  in  the  heaven,  nor  in  the 
earth ;  which  keenest  covenant, 
and  shewest  mercy  unto  thy 
servants,  that  walk  before  thee 
with  all  their  hearts: 

15  Thou  which  hast  kept  with 
thy  servant  Dft'vid  my  father 
that  which  thou  hast  promised 
him;  and  spakest  with  thy 
mouth,  and  hast  fulfilled  it 
with  thine  hand,  as  it  is  this 
day. 

16  Now  therefore,  O  Lord  God 
of  Is/ra-el,  keep  with  thy  servant 
Da'vid  my  father  that  which 
thou  hast  promised  him,  saying, 
There  shall  not  fail  thee  a  man 
in  my  sight  to  sit  upon  the 
throne  of  Is/ra-el;  yet  so  that 
thy  children  take  heed  to  their 
way  to  walk  in  my  law,  as  thou 
hast  walked  before  me. 

17  Now  then,  O  Lord  God  of 
Is/ra-el,  let  thy  word  be  verified* 
which  thou  hast  spoken  unto 
thy  servant  Da'vid. 

18  But  will  God  in  very  deed 
dwell  with  men  on  the  earth? 
behold,  heaven  and  the  heaven 
of  heavens  cannot  contain  thee ; 
how  much  less  this  house  which 
I  have  built  1 

19  Have  respect  therefore  to

this  place :  hear  thou  from  thy 
dwelling  place,  even  from  heav- 
en ;  and  when  thou  nearest,  for- 
give. 

22  IT  If  a  man  sin  against  his 
neighbour,  and  an  oath  be  laid 
upon  him  to  make  him  swear, 
and  the  oath  come  before  thine 
altar  in  this  house ; 

23  Then  hear  thou  from  heav- 
en, and  do,  and  judge  thy  serv- 
ants, by  requiting  the  wicked, 
by  recompensing  his  way  upon 
his  own  head;  and  by  justify- 
ing the  righteous,  by  giving 
him  according  to  his  righteous- 
ness. 

24  If  And  if  thy  people  Is/ra-el 
be  put  to  the  worse  before  the 
enemy,  because  they  have 
sinned  against  thee;  and  shall 
return  and  confess  thy  name, 
and  pray  and  make  supplication 
before  thee  in  this  house; 

25  Then  hear  thou  from  the 
heavens,  and  forgive  the  sin  of 
thy  people  Ij'ra-el,  and  bring 
them  again  unto  the  land  which 
thou  gavest  to  them  and  to 
their  fathers. 

26  When  the  heaven  is  shut 
up,  and  there  is  no  rain,  be- 
cause they  have  sinned  against 
thee;  yet  if  they  pray  toward 
this  place,and  confess  thy  name, 
and  turn  from  their  sin,  when 
thou  dost  afflict  them ; 

27  Then  hear  thou  from  heav- 
en, and  forgive  the  sin  of  thy 
servants,  and  of  thy  people  Is/- 
ra-el,  when  thou  hast  taught 
them  the  good  way,  wherein 
they  should  walk;  and  send 
rain  upon  thy  land,  which  thou 
hast  given  unto  thy  people  for 
an  inheritance. 

28  IT  If  there  be  dearth  in  the 
land,  if  there  be  pestilence,  if 
there  be  blasting,  or  mildew, 
locusts,  or  caterpulers ;  if  their 
enemies  besiege  them  in  the 
cities  of  their  land;  whatso- 
ever sore  or  whatsoever  sick- 
ness there  be: 

29  Then  what  prayer  or  what 
supplication  soever  shall  be 
made  of  any  man,  or  of  all  thy 
people  Ift'ra-el,  when  every  one 
shall  know  his  own  sore  and  his 
own  grief,  and  shall  spread  forth 
his  hands  in  this  house : 

30  Then  hear  thou  from  heav- 
en thy  dwelling  place,  and  f  oi- 
give,  and  render  unto  every 
man  according  unto  all  his 
ways,  whose  heart  thou  know- 
est ;  (for  thou  only  knowest  the 
hearts  of  the  children  of  men :) 

31  That  they  may  fear  thee, 
to  walk  in  thy  ways,  so  long  as 
they  live  in  the  land  which 


thou  gavest  unto  our  fathers, 

32  ^Moreover  concerning  the 
stranger,  which  is  not  of  thy 
people  Is'ra-el,  but  is  come  from 
a  far  country  for  thy  great 
name's  sake,  and  thy  mighty 
hand,  and  thy  stretched  out 
arm ;  if  they  come  and  pray  in 
this  house ; 

33  Then  hear  thou  from  the 
heavens,  even  from  thy  dwell- 
ing place,  and  do  according  to 
all  that  the  stranger  calleth  to 
thee  for;  that  all  people  of  the 
earth  may  know  thy  name,  and 
fear  thee,  as  doth  thy  people 
Is'ra-el,  and  may  know  that  tnis 
house  which  I  have  built  is 
called  by  thy  name. 

34  IT  If  thy  people  go  out  to 
war  against  their  enemies  by 
the  way  that  thou  shalt  send 
them,  and  they  pray  unto  thee 
toward  this  city  which  thou 
hast  chosen,  and  the  house 
which  I  have  built  for  thy 
name; 

35  Then  hear  thou  from  the 
heavens  their  prayer  and  their 
supplication,  and  maintain  their 
cause. 

36  IT  If  they  sin  against  thee, 
(for  there  iff  no  man  which  sin- 
neth  not,)  and  thou  be  angry 
with  them,  and  deliver  them 
over  before  their  enemies,  and 
they  carry  them  away  captives 
unto  a  land  far  off  or  near ; 

37  Yet  if  they  bethink  them- 
selves in  the  land  whither  they 
are  carried  captive,  and  turn 
and  pray  unto  thee  in  the  land 
of  their  captivity,  saying,  We 
have  sinned,  we  have  done 
amiss,  and  have  dealt  wickedly ; 

38  If  they  return  to  thee  with 
all  their  heart  and  with  all  their 
soul  in  the  land  of  their  cap- 
tivity, whither  they  have  car- 
ried them  captives,  and  pray 
toward  their  land,  which  thou 
gavest  unto  their  fathers,  and 
toward  the  city  which  thou 
hast  chosen,  and  toward  the 
house  which  I  have  built  for 
thy  name: 

39  Then  hear  thou  from  the 
heavens,  even  from  thy  dwelling 
place,  their  prayer  and  their  sup- 
plications, and  maintain  their 
cause,  and  forgive  thy  people 
which  have  sinned  against  thee. 

40  Now,  my  God,  let,  I  beseech 
thee,  thine  eyes  be  open,  and 
let  thine  ears  be  attent  unto 
the  prayer  that  is  made  in  this 
place. 

41  Now    therefore    arise,    O 
Lord   God,   into   thy   resting 
place,  thou,  and  the  ark  of  th 
strength:    let  thy  priests,

12  God  ap- 


NOW  when  SoTo-mon  had 
made  an  end  of  praying, 
the  fire  came  down  from  heaven, 
and  consumed  the  burnt  offer- 
ing and  the  sacrifices ;  and  the 
glory  of  the  Lord  filled  the 
house. 

2  And  the  priests  could  not 
enter  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  because  the  glory  of  the 
Lord  had  filled  the  Lord's 
house. 

3  And  when  all  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el  saw  how  the  fire  came 
down,  and  the  glory  of  the 
Lord  upon  the  house,  they 
bowed  themselves  with  their 
faces  to  the  ground  upon  the 
pavement,  and  worshipped,  and 
praised  the  Lord,  saying,  For 
ne  is  good ;  for  his  mercy  en- 
dureth  for  ever. 

4  1T  Then  the  king  and  all  the 
people  offered  sacrifices  before 
the  Lord. 

5  And  king  SoTo-mon  offered 
a  sacrifice  of  twenty  and  two 
thousand  oxen,  and  an  hundred 
and  twenty  thousand  sheep :  so 
the  king  and  all  the  people 
dedicated  the  house  of  God. 

6  And  the  priests  waited  on 
their  offices:  the  LS'vites  also 
with  instruments  of  musick  of 
the  Lord,  which  D&'vid  the 
king  had  made  to  praise  the 
Lord,  because  his  mercy  endur- 
eth  for  ever,  when  Di'vid 
praised  by  their  ministry ;  and 
the  priests  sounded  trumpets 
before  them,  and  all  Is/ra-el 
stood. 

7  Moreover  SoTo-mon  hal- 
lowed the  middle  of  the  court 
that  was  before  the  house  of 
the  Lord:  for  there  he  offered 
burnt  offerings,  and  the  fat  of 
the  peace  offerings,  because  the 
brasen  altar  which  SoTo-mon 
had  made  was  not  able  to  re- 
ceive the  burnt  offerings,  and 
the  meat  offerings,  and  the  fat 

8  1T  Also  at  the  same  time  SoT- 
o-mon kept  the  feast  seven 
days,  and  all  Is/ra-el  with  him, 
a  very  great  congregation,  from 
the  entering  in  of  Ha'math  un- 
to the  river  of  E*feypt 

9  And  in  the  eighth  day  they 


made  a  solemn  assembly:  for 
they  kept  the  dedication  of  the 
altar  seven  days,  and  the  feast 
seven  days. 

10  And  on  the  three  and 
twentieth  day  of  the  seventh 
month  he  sent  the  people  away 
into  their  tents,  glad  and  merry 
in  heart  for  the  goodness  that 
the  Lord  had  shewed  unto  Da*'- 
vid,  and  to  SoTo-mon,  and  to 
Is/ra-el  his  people. 

11  Thus  SdTo*non  finished  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
king's  house:  and  all  that  came 
into  SoTo-mon's  heart  to  make 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and 
in  his  own  house,  he  prosper- 
ously effected. 

12  IT  And  the  Lord  appeared 
to  SoTo-mon  by  night  and  said 
unto  him,  I  have  heard  thy 
prayer,  and  have  chosen  this 
place  to  myself  for  an  house 
of  sacrifice. 

13  If  I  shut  up  heaven  that 
there  be  no  rain,  or  if  I  com- 
mand the  locusts  to  devour  the 
land,  or  if  I  send  pestilence 
among  my  people; 

14  If  my  people,  which  are 
called  by  my  name,  shall  hum- 
ble themselves,  and  pray,  and 
seek  my  face,  and  turn  from 
their  wicked  ways;  then  will  I 
hear  from  heaven,  and  will  for- 

S've  their  sin,  and  will  heal 
eir  land. 

15  Now  mine  eyes  shall  be 
open,  and  mine  ears  attent  un- 
to the  prayer  that  is  made  in 
this  place. 

16  For  now  have  I  chosen  and 
sanctified  this  house,  that  my 
name  may  be  there  for  ever: 
and  mine  eyes  and  mine  heart 
shall  be  there  perpetually. 

17  And  'as  for  thee,  if  thou 
wilt  walk  before  me,  as  Dfi'vid 
thy  father  walked,  and  do  ac- 
cording to  all  that  I  have  com- 
manded thee,  and  shalt  observe 
my  statutes  and  my  judgments; 

18  Then  will  I  stablish  the 
throne  of  thy  kingdom,  accord- 
ing as  I  have  covenanted  with 
DiTvid  thy  father,  saying,  There 
shall  not  fail  thee  a  man  to  be 
ruler  in  Is/ra-el. 

19  But  if  ye  turn  away,  and 
forsake  my  statutes  and  my 
commandments,  which  I  have 
set  before  you,  and  shall  go  and 
serve  other  gods,  and  worship 
them; 

20  Then  will  I  pluck  them  up 
by  the  roots  out  of  my  land 
which  I  have  given  them ;  and 
this  house,  which  I  have  sancti 
fied  for  my  name,  will  I  cast 
out  of  my  sight,  and  will  make

so  that  he  shall  say,  Why  hath 
the  Lord  done  thus  unto  this 
land,  and  onto  this  house  ?

Because  they  forsook  the  Lord 
God  of  their  fathers,  which 
brought  them  forth  out  of  the

4  And  he  built  T&d'mdr  in  the 
wilderness,  and  all  the  store 
cities,  which  he  built  in  Ha'- 
math. 

5  Also  he  built  BSth-hd'rSn 
the  upper,  and  BSth-ho'rdn  the 
nether,  fenced  cities,  with  walls, 
gates,  and  bars ; 

6  And  Ba'aUth,  and  all  the 
store  cities  that  SdTo-mon  had, 
and  all  the  chariot  cities,  and 
the  cities  of  the  horsemen,  and 
all  that  SoTo-mon  desired  to 
build  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  in 
L£b'a-non,  and  throughout  all 
the  land  of  his  dominion. 

7  %  As  for  all  the  people  that 
were  left  of  the  Hit'tites,  and 
the  Am'dr-ltes,  and  the  PerTz- 
srites,  and  the  Hi'vites,  and  the 
JSb'u-sites,  which  were  not  of 
Ij'ra-el, 

8  But  of  their  children,  who 
were  left  after  them  in  the  land, 
whom  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
consumed  not,  them  did  SoTo- 
mon  make  to  pay  tribute  until 
this  day. 

9  But  of  the  children  of  Is> 
ra-el  did  SoTo-mon  make  no 
servants  for  his  work ;  but  they 
were  men  of  war,  and  chief  of 
his  captains,  and  captains  of 
his  chariots  and  horsemen. 

10  And  these  were  the  chief 
of  king  SoTo-mon's  officers,  even 


two  hundred  and  fifty,  that  bare 
rule  over  the  people. 

11  f  And  SoTo-mon  brought 
up  the  daughter  of  Pml'radh  out 
of  the  city  of  Da'vid  unto  the 
house  that  he  had  built  for  her : 
for  he  said.  My  wife  shall  not 
dwell  in  the  house  of  D&'vid 
king  of  Is'ra-el,  because  the 
places  are  holy,  whereunto  the 
ark  of  the  Lord  hath  come. 

12  f  Then  SdTo-mon  offered 
burnt  offerings  unto  the  Lord 
oh  the  altar  of  the  Lord,  which 
he  had  built  before  the  norch, 

13  Even  after  a  certain  rate 
every  day,  offering  according  to 
the  commandment  of  Mouses, 
on  the  sabbaths,  and  on  the 
new  moons,  and  on  the  solemn 
feasts,  three  times  in  the  year, 
even  in  the  feast  of  unleavened 
bread,  and  in  the  feast  of  weeks, 
and  in  the  feast  of  tabernacles. 

14  And  he  appointed,  accord- 
ing to  the  order  of  Da'vid  his 
father,  the  courses  of  the  priests 
to  their  service,  and  the  Le'- 
vites  to  their  charges,  to  praise 
and  minister  before  the  priests, 
as  the  duty  of  every  day  re- 
quired :  the  porters  also  by  their 
courses  at  every  gate:  for  so 
had  Da'vid  the  man  of  God 
commanded. 

15  And  they  departed  not  from 
the  commandment  of  the  king 
unto  the  priests  and  LS'vites 
concerning  any  matter,  or  con- 
cerning the  treasures. 

16  Now  all  the  work  of  SoTo- 
mon  was  prepared  unto  the  day 
of  the  foundation  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  until  it  was 
finished.  So  the  house  of  the 
Lord  was  perfected. 

17  TThen  went  S61'o-mon  to 
fi'zi-on-ge'ber,  and  to  Eldth,  at 
the  sea  side  in  the  land  of 
E'dom. 

18  And  Hu'ram  sent  him  by 
the  hands  of  his  servants  ships, 
and  servants  that  had  knowl- 
edge of  the  sea ;  and  they  went 
with  the  servants  of  SdTo-mon 
to  O'phir,  and  took  thence  four 
hundred  and  fifty  talents  of 
gold,  and  brought  them  to  king 
SoTo-mon.

dance,  and  precious  stones :  and 
when  she  was  come  to  Sdl'o- 
mon,  she  communed  with  him 
of  all  that  was  in  her  heart 

2  And  SoTo-mon  told  her  all 
her  questions:  and  there  was 
nothing  hid  from  SoTo-mon 
which  he  told  her  not 

3  And  when  the  queen  of  She*- 
ba  had  seen  the  wisdom  of  SoTo- 
mon,  and  the  house  that  he  had 
built 

4  And  the  meat  of  his  table, 
and  the  sitting  of  his  servants, 
and  the  attendance  of  his  min- 
isters, and  their  apparel;  his 
cupbearers  also,  and  their  ap- 
parel; and  his  ascent  by  which 
he  went  up  into  the  house  of 
the  Lord;  there  was  no  more 

T*  it  in  her. 
And  she  said  to  the  king,  It 
was  a  true  report  which  I  heard 
in  mine  own  land  of  thine  acts, 
and  of  thy  wisdom : 

6  Howbeitl  believed  not  their 
words,  until  I  came,  and  mine 
eves  had  seen  it :  and,  behold, 
the  one  half  of  the  greatness 
of  thy  wisdom  was  not  told 
me:  for  thou  exceedest  the 
fame  that  I  heard. 

7  Happy  are  thy  men,  and 
happy  are  these  thy  servants, 
which  stand  continually  before 
thee,  and  hear  thy  wisdom. 

8  Blessed  be  the  Lord  thy 
God,  which  delighted  in  thee 
to  set  thee  on  his  throne,  to  be 
king  for  the  Lord  thy  God :  be- 
cause thy  God  loved  la'ra-el,  to 
establish  them  for  ever,  there- 
fore made  he  thee  king  over 
them,  to  do  judgment  and  jus- 
tice. 

9  And  she  gave  the  king  an 
hundred  and  twenty  talents  of 
gold,  and  of  spices  great  abun- 
dance, and  precious  stones: 
neither  was  there  any  such 
spice  as  the  queen  of  She'ba 
gave  king  SoTo-moo, 

10  And  the  servants  also  of 
Hu'ram,  and  the  servants  of 
SoTo-mon,  which  brought  gold 
from  O'phir,  brought  algum 
trees  and  precious  stones. 

11  And  the  king  made  of  the 
algum  trees  terraces  to  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  to  the 
king's  palace,  and  harps  and 
psalteries  for  singers :  and  there 
were  none  such  seen  before  in 
the  land  of  Ju'dah. 

12  And  king  SoTo-mon  cave  to 
the  queen  of  She'ba  all  her  de- 
sire, whatsoever  she  asked,  be- 
side that  which  she  had  brought 
unto  the  king.  So  she  turned, 
and  went  away  to  her  own  land, 
she  and  her  servants. 


13  H  Now  the  weight  of  gold 
that  came  to  SoTo-mon  in  one 
year  was  six  hundred  and  three- 
score and  six  talents  of  gold ; 

14  Beside  that  which  •  chap- 
men and  merchants  brought 
And  all  the  kings  of  A-ril>i-d 
and  governors  of  the  country 
brought  gold  and  silver  to  SoTo- 
mon. 

15  %  And  king  SoTo-mon  made 
two  hundred  targets  of  beaten 
cold:  six  hundred  shekels  of 
beaten  gold  went  to  one  tar* 
get 

16  And  three  hundred  shields 
made  he  of  beaten  gold :  three 
hundred  shekels  of  gold  went 
to  one  shield.  And  the  king 
put  them  in  the  house  of  the 
forest  of  LSb'a-non. 

17  f  Moreover  the  king  made 
a  great  throne  of  ivory,  and 
overlaid  it  with  pure  cold. 

18  And  there  were  six  steps  to 
the  throne,  with  a  footstool  of 
gold,  which  were  fastened  to 
the  throne,  and  stays  on  each 
side  of  the  sitting  place,  and  two 
lions  standing  by  the  stays 

19  And  twelve  lions  stood 
there  on  the  one  side  and  on 
the  other  upon  the  six  steps. 
There  was  not  the  like  made 
in  any  kingdom. 

20  IT  And  all  the  drinking  ves- 
sels of  king  SoTo-mon  were  of 

Sold,  and  all  the  vessels  of  the 
ouse  of  the  forest  of  Leo'a-non 
were  of  pure  gold :  none  were 
of  silver ;  it  was  not  any  thing 
accounted  of  in  the  days  of  Sol 
o-mon. 

21  For  the  king's  ships  went 
to  Tar'shish  with  the  servants 
of  Hu'ram:  every  three  years 
once  came  the  ships  of  Tar'- 
shish bringing  gold,  and  silver, 
ivory,  and  apes,  and  peacocks. 

22  And  king  SdTo-mon  passed 
all  the  kings  of  the  earth  in 
riches  and  wisdom. 

23  If  And  all  the  kings  of  the 
earth  sought  the  presence  of 
SoTo-mon,  to  hear  nis  wisdom, 
that  God  had  put  in  his  heart 

24  And  they  brought  every 
man  his  present  vessels  of  sil- 
ver, and  vessels  of  gold,  and 
raiment  harness,  and  spices, 
horses,  and  mules,  a  rate  year 
by  year. 

25  H  And  SdTo-mon  had  four 
thousand  stalls  for  horses  and 
chariots,  and  twelve  thousand 
horsemen;  whom  he  bestowed 
in  the  chariot  cities,  and  with 
the  king,  at  Je-ru's&4em. 

26  IT  And  he  reigned  over 
all  the  kings  from  the  river

27  And  the  king  made  silver 
in  J&-ru'sa-lem  as  stones,  and 
cedar  trees  made  he  as  the  syco- 
more  trees  that  are  in  the  low 
plains  in  abundance. 

28  And  they  brought  unto 
SoTo-mon  horses  out  of  E'fcjfpt* 
and  out  of  all  lands. 

29  %  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  SoTo-mon,  first  and  last,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  book  of 
Nft'than  the  prophet,  and  in  the 
prophecy  of  A-hi'jah  the  Shilo- 
nite,  and  in  the  visions  of  Id'dS 
the  seer  against  Jer-o-bS'am  the 
son  of  Newt? 

30  And  SoTo-mon  reigned  in 
Jfi-ru'sa-lem  over  all  Ij'ra-el  for- 
ty years. 

31  And  SoTo-mon  slept  with 
his  fathers,  and  he  was  buried 
in  the  city  of  Da'vid  his  father 
and  R&-ho-b5'am  his  son  reigned 
in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  10 

Rehoboam,  rejecting  the  old  men'e 
good  counsel,  16  ten  tribes  revolt, 
and  hejleee. 

AND   R&-ho-b6'am   went   to 
Sbg'chem:    for    to    She' 
chem  were  all  Ig'ra-el  come  to 
make  him  king. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Jer-o-bd'am  the  son  of  Netrtt, 
who  was  in  E'gjfrt,  whither  he 
had  fled  from  the  presence  of 
SoTo-mon  the  king,  heard  it, 
that  Jer-o-b6'am  returned  out 
ofE-fcfrt 

3  And  they  sent  and  called 
him.  So  Jer-o-b5'am  and  all 
Is'ra-el  came  and  spake  to  R5- 
ho-bO'am,  saying, 

4  Thy  father  made  our  yoke 
grievous:  now  therefore  ease 
thou  somewhat  the  grievous 
servitude  of  thy  father,  and  his 
heavy  yoke  that  he  put  upon 
us,  and  we  will  serve  thee. 

5  And  he  said  unto  them,  Come 
again  unto  me  after  three  days. 
And  the  people  departed. 

6  IT  And  kingR&ho-bd'am  took 
counsel  with  the  old  men  that 
had  stood  before  SoTo-mon  his 
father  while  he  yet  lived,  say- 
ing, What  counsel  give  ye  me 
to  return  answer  to  this  people  ? 

7  And  they  spake  unto  nim, 
saying,  If  thou  be  kind  to  this 
people,  and  please  them,  and 
speak  good  words  to  them,  they 
will  be  thy  servants  for  ever. 

8  But  he  forsook  the  counsel 
which  the  old  men  gave  him, 
and  took  counsel  with  the  young 
men  that  were  brought  up  with 
him,  that  stood  before  him. 

9  And   he   said   unto   them. 


What  advice  give  ye  that  we 
may  return  answer  to  this  peo- 
ple, which  have  spoken  to  me, 
saying,  Ease  somewhat  the  yoke 
that  thy  father  did  put  upon  us  ? 

10  And  the  young  men  that 
were  brought  up  with  him  spake 
unto  him,  saying,  Thus  shalt 
thou  answer  the  people  that 
spake  unto  thee,  saving,  Thy 
father  made  our  yoke  heavy, 
but  make  thou  %t  somewhat 
lighter  for  us;  thus  shalt  thou 
say  unto  them,  My  little  finger 
shall  be  thicker  than  my  fa- 
ther's loins. 

11  For  whereas  my  father  put 
a  heavy  yoke  upon  you,  I  will  put 
more  to  your  yoke:  my  father 
chastised  you  with  whips,  but  I 
will  chastise  you  with  scor 
pious. 

12  f  So  Jer-oto'amandallthe 
people  came  to  R£-ho-b5'am  on 
the  third  day,  as  the  king  bade, 
saying,  Come  again  to  me  on 
the  third  day. 

13  And  the  king  answered 
them  roughly ;  and  king  Rg-ho- 
bS'am  forsook  the  counsel  of 
the  old  men, 

14  And  answered  them  after 
the  advice  of  the  young  men, 
saying,  My  father  made  your 
yoke  heavy,  but  I  will  add  there- 
to: my  father  chastised  you 
with  whips,  but  I  will  chastise 
you  with  scorpions. 

15  So  the  king  hearkened  not 
unto  the  people:  for  the  cause 
was  of  God,  that  the  Lord 
might  perform  his  word,  which 
he  spake  by  the  hand  of  A-hi'- 
jah the  Shilo-nite  to  Jer-o-bO'. 
am  the  son  of  NS'b&t. 

16  And  when  all  Is'ra-el  saw 
that  the  king  would  not  heark 
en  unto  them,  the  people  an- 
swered the  king,  saying,  What 

*    Di'vid?  and 


portion  have  we  in 
we  have  none  inheritance  in 
the  son  of  Jes'se:  every  man 
to  your  tents,  0  Ig'ra-el:  and 
now,  Da'vid,  see  to  thine  own 
house.  So  all  Is'ra-el  went  to 
their  tents. 

17  But  as  for  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  that  dwelt  in  the  cities 
of  Ja'dah,  Re-ho-bd'am  reigned 
over  them. 

18  Then  king  Rg-ho-bG'am  sent 
Ha-dO'ram  that  was  over  the 
tribute;  and  the  children  of 
la'ra-el  stoned  him  with  stones, 
that  he  died.  But  king  RS-he- 
bd'am  made  speed  to  get  him 
up  to  his  chariot,  to  flee  to  J6- 
ru'sfi-lem. 

19  And  la'ra-el  rebelled  against 
the  house  of  Da'vid  unto  this 
day.  i

CHAPTER  11 

Rehoboam  raising  an  army  to  subdue 
Israel,  is  forbidden  by  Shemaiah 
18  hie  wives  and  children. 


AND  when  Rfc-ho-b5'am  was 
come  to  J&ru'sfi-lem,  he 
gathered  of  the  house  of  JQ'dah 
and  Ben'ja-min  an  hundred  and 
fourscore  thousand  chosen  men, 
which  were  warriors,  to  fight 
against  ls/ra-el,  that  he  might 
bring  the  kingdom  again  to  K£- 
ho-bQ'am. 

2  But  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  Shem-a-i'ah  the  man  of 
God,  saying, 

3  Speak  onto  Re-ho-b5'am  the 
son  of  SdTo-mon,  king  of  JQ'dah, 
and  to  all  ls/ra-el  in  JQ'dah  and 
Benja-mln,  saying, 

4  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye 
shall  not  go  up,  nor  fight  against 
your  brethren:   return  every 

in  to  his  house:  for  this 
thing  is  done  of  me.  And 
they  obeyed  the  words  of  the 
Lord,  and  returned  from  going 
against  Jer-o-bS'am. 

5  H  An<R€-ho-ba'am  dwelt  in 
J£-ru/s&-lem,  and  built  cities  for 
defence  in  JQ'dah. 

6  He  built  even  Wth'-lfc-hem, 
and  cTtam,  and  TS-kfl'a, 

7  And  Beth'-zfir,  and  Sh6'c5, 
and  A-duTlam, 

8  And  Gflth,  and  Bfa-rS'shali, 
and  Ziph, 

9  And  Ad-o-ra'im.  and  LS'- 
chish,  and  A-seTcali, 

10  And  Zfi'rah,  and  Aij'a-lffn, 
and  He~bron,  which  are  in  JQ'- 
dah and  in  Ben'ja-min  fenced 
cities. 

11  And  he  fortified  the  strong 
holds,  and  put  captains  in  them, 
and  store  of  victual,  and  of  oil 
and  wine. 

12  And  in  every  several  city 
he  put  shields  and  spears,  and 
made  them  exceeding  strong, 
having  JQ'dah  and  Ben'ja-min 
on  his  side. 

13  And  the  priests  and  the 
Le'vites  that  were  in  all  Is/ra-el 
resorted  to  him  out  of  all  their 
coasts. 

14  For  the  LTvites  left  their 
suburbs  and  their  possession, 
and  came  to  JQ'dah  and  J£-ru'- 
si-leni:  for  Jer-o-bd'am  and  his 
sons  had  cast  them  off  from  ex- 
ecuting the  priest's  office  unto 
the  Lord: 

15  And  he  ordained  him  priests 
for  the  high  places,  and  for  the 
devils,  and  for  the  calves  which 
he  had  made. 

16  And  after  them  out  of  all 
the  tribes  of  ls/ra-el  such  as  set 
their  hearts  to  seek  the  Lord 
God  of  ls/ra-el  came  to  J6»ru's& 


lem,  to  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord 
God  of  their  fathers. 

17  So  they  strengthened  the 
kingdom  of  Ju'dah,  and  made 
R£-he-b5'am  the  son  of  SdTo- 
mon  strong,  three  years:  for 
three  years  they  walked  in  the 
way  of  Dfi'vid  and  SoTo-mon. 

18  1T  And  Re>ho4)6'am  took  him 
MTha-lath  the  daughter  of  JeV- 
i-mfith  the  son  of  DA'vid  to  wife, 
and  Ab-i-hfi'il  the  daughter  of 
nVli'ab  the  son  of  Jes'se ; 

19  Which  bare  him  children; 
JS'ush,  and  Shain-a-ri'ah,  and 
Zaliam. 

20  And  after  her  he  took  MT- 
a-chah  the  daughter  of  Ab'sa- 
15m ;  which  bare  him  A-bi'jah, 
and  Ami,  and  Zi'za,  and  SheT- 
o-mith. 

21  And  Re-ho-ba'am  loved  Mi'- 
a-chah  the  daughter  of  Ab'sa- 
16m  above  all  his  wives  and 
his  concubines:  (for  he  took 
eighteen  wives,  and  threescore 
concubines;  and  begat  twenty 
and  eight  sons,  and  threescore 
daughters.) 

22  And  Re-ho-bo'am  made 
A-bi'jah  the  son  of  M&'a-chah 
the  chief,  to  be  ruler  among 
his  brethren:  for  he  thought 
to  make  him  king. 

23  And  he  dealt  wisely,  and 
dispersed  of  all  his  children 
throughout  all  the  countries  of 
JQ'dah  and  Ben'ja-min,  unto 
every  fenced  city:  and  he  gave 
them  victual  in  abundance.  And 
h%  desired  many  wives. 

CHAPTER  12 

Rehoboam,  forsaking  God,  is  pun- 
ished by  Shiehak:  13  his  reign 
and  death. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  Re- 
ho-b6'am  had  established 
the  kingdom,  and  had  strength- 
ened himself,  he  forsook  the 
law  of  the  Lord,  and  all  ls/ra-el 
with  him. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
in  the  fifth  year  of  king  Re-ho- 
bo'am  Shi'shak  king  of  E'frypt 
came  up  against  JS-ru'saVlem, 
because  they  had  transgressed 
against  the  Lord, 

3  With  twelve  hundred  char- 
iots, and  threescore  thousand 
horsemen :  and  the  people  were 
without  number  that  came  with 
him  out  of  E'gjrpt ;  the  Lg/bimg, 
the  SGkTd-Ima,  and  the'fi-thi- 
5'pl-ans. 

4  And  he  took  the  fenced 
cities  which  pertained  to  JQ'- 
dah, and  came  to  Je-ru/sft-lSm. 

5  Then  came  ShSm-o-i'ah  the 
prophet  to  Rfe-ho-bC'am,  and  to 
the  princes  of  JQ'dah,  that  were 
gathered  together  to  Je-ru'sa-

15m  because  of  Shi'sh&k,  and 
said  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Ye  have  forsaken  me, 
and  therefore  have  I  also  left 
you  in  the  hand  of  Shl'sh&k. 

6  Whereupon  the  princes  of 
lg'ra*el  and  the  king  humbled 
themselves;  and  they  said,  The 
Lord  is  righteous. 

7  And  when  the  Lord  saw 
that  they  humbled  themselves, 
the  Word  of  the  Lord  came  to 
Shem-a-i'ah,  saying,  They  have 
humbled  themselves ;  therefore 
I  will  not  destroy  them,  but  I 
will  grant  them  some  deliver* 
ance;  and  my  wrath  shall  not 
be  poured  out  upon  Je-ru'sa-lem 
by  the  hand  of  ShI'shfik. 

8  Nevertheless  they  shall  be 
his  servants;  that  they  may 
know  my  service,  and  the  serv- 
ice of  the  kingdoms  of  the 
countries. 

9  So  Shi'sh&k  king  of  E'fifjfrt 
came  up  against  Je^ru'sfi-lem, 
and  took  away  the  treasures  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
treasures  of  the  king^s  house; 
he  took  all:  he  carried  away 
also  the  shields  of  gold  which 
SdTo-mon  had  made. 

10  Instead  of  which  king  RS- 
ho-bO'am  made  shields  of  brass, 
and  committed  them  to  the 
hands  of  the  chief  of  the  guard, 
that  kept  the  entrance  of  the 
king's  house. 

11  And  when  the  king  entered 
into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  the 
guard  came  and  fetched  them, 
and  brought  them  again  into 
the  guard  chamber. 

12  And  when  he  humbled  him- 
self, the  wrath  of  the  Lord 
turned  from  him,  that  he  would 
not  destroy  him  altogether:  and 
also  in  Ju  dah  things  went  welL 

13  IT  So  king  R&-ho-b6'am 
strengthened  himself  in  JS-nj'- 
sfi-lem,  and  reigned :  for  Re-tio- 
bO'am  was  one  and  forty  years 
old  when  he  began  to  reign,  and 
he  reigned  seventeen  years  in 
J&ru'saVlem,  the  city  which  the 
Lord  had  chosen  out  of  all  the 
tribes  of  Is/ra-el,  to  put  his  name 
there.  And  his  mother's  name 
waaN&'a-mah  an  Am'mon-ft-ess. 

14  And  he  did  evil,  because  he 
prepared  not  his  heart  to  seek 
the  Lord. 

15  Now  the  acts  of  RS-ho-bft'- 
am,  first  and  last,  are  they  not 
written  in  the  book  of  Shem-a- 

'ah  the  prophet;  and  of  td'dd 
the  seer  concerning  genealo- 
gies? And  there  were  wars 
between  RS-ho-bd'am  and  Jer- 
o-bd'am  continually. 

16  And  Re-ho»bft'am  slept  with 


his  fathers,  and  was  buried  in 
the  city  of  Dft'vid:  and  A-bi'- 
jah  his  son  reigned  in  his 
stead 

CHAPTER  13 

Abijah,     succeeding,     makes    war 
agaAnot  Jeroboam,  and  overeon 
him, 

NOW  in  the  eighteenth  year 
of  king  Jer-o-bO'am  began 
A-bi'jah  to  reign  over  Ju'dah. 

2  He  reigned  three  years  in  J£- 
ru'saVlein.  His  mother's  name 
also  was  Ifi-chfilah  the  daugh- 
ter of  O'rl-el  of  Gfb'e-ah.  And 
there  was  war  between  A-bi'jah 
and  Jer-o-bd'am. 

3  And  A-bi'jah  set  the  battle 
in  array  with  an  army  of  valiant 
men  of  war,  even  four  hundred 
thousand  chosen  men:  Jer-o-b6' 
am  also  set  the  battle  in  array 
against  him  with  eight  hundred 
thousand  chosen  men,  being 
mighty  men  of  valour* 

4  1TAnd  A-bi'jah  stood  up  up- 
m  mount  Zem-a-ra'im,  which  t* 
in  mount  Cphrft-im,  and  said, 
Hear  me,  thou  Jer-o-bft'am,  and 
allls'ra-el; 

5  Ought  ye  not  to  know  that 
the  Lord  God  of  Is/ra-el  gave 
the  kingdom  over  Is'ra-eT  to 
Dfi'vid  for  ever,  even  to  him 
and  to  his  sons  by  a  covenant 
of  salt? 

6  Yet  Jer-o-bS'am  the  son  of 
Nrbftt,  the  servant  of  S5l'o-mon 
the  son  of  Di'vid,  is  risen  up, 
and  hath  rebelled  against  his 
lord. 

7  And  there  are  gathered  un- 
to him  vain  men,  the  children 
of  B£li«al,  and  have  strength- 
ened themselves  against  Re-ho* 
bd'am  the  son  of  SdTo-mon, 
when  RS-ho-bd"am  was  young 
and  tenderhearted,  and  could 
not  withstand  them. 

8  And  now  ye  think  to  with- 
stand the  kingdom  of  the  Lord 
in  the  hand  of  the  sons  of  Dft'- 
vid; and  ye  be  &  great  multi- 
tude, and  there  are  with  you 
golden  calves,  which  Jer-o-bd'- 
am  made  you  for  gods. 

9  Have  fe  not  cast  out  the 
priests  of  the  Lord,  the  sons  of 
AaVon,  and  the  Le'vites,  and 
have  made  you  priests  after  the 
manner  of  the  nations  of  other 
lands?  so  that  whosoever  com. 
eth  to  consecrate  himself  with 
a  young  bullock  and  seven 
rams,  the  same  may  be  a  priest 
of  them  that  are  no  gods. 

10  But  as  for  us,  the  Lord  is 
our  God,  and  we  have  not  for 
saken  him;  and  the  priests, 
which  minister  unto  the  Lord, 
are  the  sons  of  Aax'on,  and  the

LEVites  wait  upon  their  busi- 
ness: 

11  And  they  burn  onto  the 
Lord  every  morning  and  every 
evening  burnt  sacrifices  and 
sweet  incense:  the  shewbread 
also  set  they  in  order  upon  the 
pure  table;  and  the  candle* 
stick  of  gold  with  the  lamps 
thereof,  to  burn  every  evening : 
for  we  keep  the  charge  of  the 
Lord  our  God ;  but  ye  have  for- 
saken him. 

12  And,  behold,  God  himself 
is  with  us  for  our  captain,  and 
his  priests  with  sounding  trump- 
ets to  cry  alarm  against  you.  O 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  fight  ye  not 
against  the  Lord  God  of  your 
fathers;  for  ye  shall  not  pros- 
per. 

13  ITBut  J£r«o<b5'am  caused  an 
ambushment  to  come  about  be- 
hind them :  so  they  were  before 
Ju'dah,  and  the  ambushment 
was  behind  them. 

14  And  when  Ju'dah  looked 
back,  behold,  the  battle  was 
before  and  behind:  and  they 
cried  unto  the  Lord,  and  the 
priests  sounded  with  the  trump- 
ets. 

15  Then  the  men  of  JQ'dah 
gave  a  shout :  and  as  the  men 
of  Ju'dah  shouted,  it  came  to 
pass,  that  God  smote  Jer-o-bd*' 
am  and  all  Ig'ra-el  before  A-bi'* 
jah  and  Ju'dah. 

16  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
fled  before  Ju'dah :  and  God  de- 
livered them  into  their  hand 

17  And  A-bi'jah  and  his  people 
slew  them  with  a  great  slaugh- 
ter: so  there  fell  down  slain  of 
Is'ra-el  five  hundred  thousand 
chosen  men. 

18  Thus  the  children  of  Is'ra- 
el  were  brought  under  at  that 
time,  and  the  children  of  Ju'dah 
prevailed,  because  they  relied 
upon  the  Lord  God  of  their  fa- 
thers. 

19  And  A-bi'jah  pursued  after 
Jer-o-bo"am,and  took  cities  from 
him,  BCth'-el  with  the  towns 
thereof,  and  Jesh'a-nah  with 
the  towns  thereof,  and  fi'phrS- 
in  with  the  towns  thereof. 

20  Neither  did  Jer-o-b6'am  re- 
cover strength  again  in  the  days 
of  A-bi'jah :  and  the  Lord  struck 
him,  and  he  died. 

21  IT  But  A-bfjah  waxed 
mighty,  and  married  fourteen 
wives,  and  begat  twenty  and 
two  sons,  and  sixteen  daugh- 
ters. 

22  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
A-bi'jah,  and  his  ways,  and  his 
sayings,  are  written  in  the 
story  of  the  prophet  Id'do. 


CHAPTER  14 

Asa   destroys   idolatry;    6    having 

peace  to  strengthen*  his  kingdom, 

9  He  overcomes  Zerah,  and  spoils 

the  Ethiopians, 

SO  A-bi'jah  slept  with  his  fa- 
thers, and  they  buried  him 
in  the  city  of  Dfl'vid ;  and  A'sa 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead.  In 
his  days  the  land  was  quiet  ten 
years. 

2  And  A'sa  did  that  which 
was  good  and  right  in  the  eyes 
of  the  Lord  his  God : 

3  For  he  took  away  the  altars 
of  the  strange  gods,  and  the 
high  places,  and  brake  down 
the  images,  and  cut  down  the 
groves: 

4  And  commanded  Ja'dah  to 
seek  the  Lord  God  of  their  fa- 
thers, and  to  do  the  law  and  the 
commandment 

5  Also  he  took  away  out  of  all 
the  cities  of  Ju'dah  the  high 
places  and  the  images:  and  the 
kingdom  was  quiet  before  him. 

6  IT  And  he  built  fenced  cities 
in  JQ'dah :  for  the  land  had  rest, 
and  he  had  no  war  in  those 
years;  because  the  Lord  had 
given  him  rest. 

7  Therefore  he  said  unto  Ju'- 
dah, Let  us  build  these  cities, 
and  make  about  them  walls,  and 
towers,  gates,  and  bars,  while 
the  land  is  yet  before  us ;  be- 
cause we  have  sought  the  Lord 
our  God,  we  have  sought  him, 
and  he  hath  given  us  rest  on 
every  side.  So  they  built  and 
prospered. 

8  And  A'sa  had  an  army  of 
men  that  bare  targets  and 
spears,  out  of  Ju'dah  three  hun- 
dred thousand ;  and  out  of  Ben'- 
ja-mln,  that  bare  shields  and 
drew  bows,  two  hundred  and 
fourscore  thousand:  all  these 
were  mighty  men  of  valour. 

9  1  And  there  came  out 
against  them  Ze"rah  the  E-thi- 
5^>I-an  with  an  host  of  a  thou- 
sand thousand,  and  three  hun- 
dred chariots;  and  came  unto 
Ma-rg'shah. 

10  Then  A'sa  went  out  against 
him,  and  they  set  the  battle  in 
array  in  the  valley  of  Zeph'a- 
thah  at  Mfi-rg'shah. 

11  And  A'sa  cried  unto  the 
Lord  his  God,  and  said,  Lord, 
it  is  nothing  with  thee  to  help, 
whether  with  many,  or  with 
them  that  have  no  power:  help 
us,  O  Lord  our  God ;  for  we  rest 
on  thee,  and  in  thy  name  we  go 
against  this  multitude.  0  Lord, 
thou  art  our  God ;  let  not  man 
prevail  against  thee. 

12  So  the  Lord  smote  the 
E-thWpI-ans.  before  A'sa,  and

13  And  A'sa  and  the  people 
that  were  with  him  pursued 
them  unto  Gt'rar:  and  the 
fi-thi-fi'pkans  were  overthrown, 
that  they  could  not  recover 
themselves;  for  they  were  de- 
stroyed before  the  Lord,  and 
before  his  host ;  and  they  car- 
ried away  very  much  spoil. 

14  And  they  smote  all  the  cit- 
ies round  about  Ge'ribr;  for  the 
fear  of  the  Lord  came  upon 
them :  and  they  spoiled  all  the 
cities;  for  there  was  exceeding 
much  spoil  in  them. 

15  They  smote  also  the  tents 
of  cattle,and  carried  away  sheep 
and  camels  in  abundance,  and 
returned  to  Je^ru'saVlem. 

CHAPTER  15 

Judah  makes  a  solemn  covenant  with 
God.  16  Asa  removes  his  mother 
from  being  queen. 

AND  the  Spirit  of  God  came 
upon  Afea-ri'ah  the  son  of 
O'ded: 

2  And  he  went  out  to  meet 
A'sa,  and  said  unto  him,  Hear 
ye  me,  A'sa,  and  all  Ju'dah  and 
Ben'ja-min ;  The  Lord  is  with 
vou,  while  ye  be  with  him ;  and 
if  ye  seek  him,  he  will  be  found 
of  you ;  but  if  ye  forsake  him, 
he  will  forsake  you. 

3  Now  for  a  long  season  Is/ra- 
el  hath  been  without  the  true 
God,  and  without  a  teaching 
priest,  and  without  law. 

4  But  when  they  in  their 
trouble  did  turn  unto  the  Lord 
God  of  Is/ra-el,  and  sought  him, 
he  was  found  of  them. 

5  And  in  those  times  there 
was  no  peace  to  him  that  went 
out,  nor  to  him  that  came  in, 
but  great  vexations  were  up- 
on all  the  inhabitants  of  the 
countries. 

6  And  nation  was  destroyed 
of  nation,  and  city  of  city :  for 
God  did  vex  them  with  all  ad- 
versity. 

7  Be  ye  strong  therefore,  and 
let  not  your  hands  be  weak :  for 
your  work  shall  be  rewarded. 

8  ITAnd  when  A'sa  heard  these 
words,  and  the  prophecy  of 
O'ded  the  prophet,  he  took  cour- 
age, and  put  away  the  abomin- 
able idols  out  of  all  the  land  of 
Jn'dah  and  Ben'ja-min,  and  out 
of  the  cities  which  he  had  taken 
from  mount  fi'phrft-im,  and  re- 
newed the  altar  of  the  Lord, 
that  was  before  the  porch  of 
the  Lord. 

9  And  he  gathered  all  Ju'dah 
and  BSn'ja-min,  and  the  stran- 
gers with  them  out  of  G'phraMm 


and  MS-naYseh,  and  out  of  Sim'- 
e-on:  for  they  fell  to  him  out  of 
Is/ra-el  in  abundance,  when  they 
saw  that  the  Lord  bis  God  was 
with  him. 

10  So  they  gathered  them- 
selves together  at  JeVru'sa-lem 
in  the  third  month,  in  the  fif- 
teenth year  of  the  reign  of  A'sa. 

11  And  they  offered  unto  the 
Lord  the  same  time,  of  the 
spoil  which  they  had  brought, 
seven  hundred  oxen  and  seven 
thousand  sheep, 

12  And  they  entered  into  a 
covenant  to  seek  the  Lord  God 
of  their  fathers  with  all  their 
heart  and  with  all  their  soul ; 

13  That  whosoever  would  not 
seek  the  Lord  God  of  Is/ra-el 
should  be  put  to  death,  whether 
small  or  great,  whether  man  or 
woman. 

14  And  they  sware  unto  the 
Lord  with  a  loud  voice,  and 
with  shouting,  and  with  trump- 
ets, and  with  cornets. 

15  And  all  Jfl'dah  rejoiced  at 
the  oath:  for  they  hid  sworn 
with  all  their  heart,  and  sought 
him  with  their  whole  desire; 
and  he  was  found  of  them :  and 
the  Lord  gave  them  rest  round 
about 

16  IT  And  also  concerning 
Ma'a-chah  the  mother  of  A'sa 
the  king,  he  removed  her  from 
being  queen,  because  she  had 
made  an  idol  in  a  grove:  and 
A'sa  cut  down  her  idol,  and 
stamped  it,  and  burnt  it  at  the 
brook  KId'ron. 

17  But  the  high  places  were 
not  taken  away  out  of  Is/ra-el: 
nevertheless  the  heart  of  A'sa 
was  perfect  all  his  days. 

18  And  he  brought  into  the 
house  of  God  the  things  that 
his  father  had  dedicated,  and 
that  he  himself  had  dedicated, 
silver,  and  gold,  and  vessels. 

19  And  there  was  no  more 
war  unto  the  five  and  thirtieth 
year  of  the  reign  of  A'sa. 

CHAPTER  16 

Asa,  by  a  league  with  the  Syrians, 
diverts  Baasha  from  building  of 
Bamah:  13  hie  death  and  buriaL 

IN  the  six  and  thirtieth  year 
of  the  reign  of  A'sa  B&'a-«ha 
king  of  Is/ra-el  came  up  against 
Ju'dah,  and  built  R&'mah,  to  the 
intent  that  he  might  let  none 
go  out  or  come  in  to  A'sa  king 
of  Ju'dah. 
2  Then  A'sa  brought  out  silver 
and  gold  out  of  the  treasures  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord  and  of 
the  king's  house,  and  sent  to 
Ben-hS'dftd  king  of  SyrTa,  that 
dwelt  at  Da-m&s'cus,  saying,

3  There  is  a  league  between 
me  and  thee,  as  there  was  be- 
tween my  father  and  thy  fa- 
ther: behold,  I  have  sent  thee 
silver  and  gold;  go,  break  thy 
league  with  Bfl'a-sha  king  of  ls> 
ra-el,  that  he  may  depart  from 
me. 

4  And  Ben-httttd  hearkened 
onto  king  A'sa,  and  sent  the 
captains  of  his  armies  against 
the  cities  of  Is/ra-el;  and  they 
smote  I'jon,  and  Dan,  and  AT>el- 
mllm,  and  all  the  store  cities 
of  Nftph'ta-li. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Bfi 'a-sha  heard  it,  that  he  left 
off  Jniilding  of  Rfl'mah,  and  let 
his  work  cease. 

6  Then  A'sa  the  king  took  all 
Ju'dah ;  and  they  carried  away 
the  stones  of  Rfi'mah,  and  the 
timber  thereof,  wherewith  Bfi'a- 
sha  was  building ;  and  he  built 
therewith  Ge^ba  and  Mfcrpah. 

7  UAnd  at  that  time  Ha-nfi'ni 
the  seer  came  to  A'sa  king  of 
Jtt'dah,  and  said  unto  him,  Be- 
cause thou  hast  relied  on  the 
king  of  Sjhrt-a,  and  not  relied 
on  the  Lord  thy  God,  therefore 
is  the  host  of  the  kins  of  S^rta 
escaped  out  of  thine  nand. 

8  Were  not  the  E-thI-3'pI-ana 
and  the  Lu'bimsa  huge  host, 
with  very  many  chariots  and 
horsemen?  yet,  because  thou 
didst  rely  on  the  Lord,  he  de- 
livered them  into  thine  hand. 

9  For  the  eyes  of  the  Lord  run 
to  and  fro  throughout  the  whole 
earth,  to  shew  himself  strong  in 
the  behalf  of  them  whose  heart 
is  perfect  toward  him.  Herein 
thou  hast  done  foolishly :  there- 
fore from  henceforth  thou  shalt 
have  wars. 

10  Then  A'sa  was  wroth  with 
the  seer,  and  put  him  in  a  pris- 
on house ;  for  he  was  in  arage 
with  him  because  of  this  thing. 
And  A'sa  oppressed  same  of  the 
people  the  same  time. 

11  f  And,  behold,  the  acts  of 
A'sa,  first  and  last,  lo,  they  are 
written  in  the  book  of  the  kings 
of  Jtt'dah  and  Is/ra-el. 

12  And  A'sa  in  the  thirty  and 
ninth  year  of  his  reign  was  dis- 
eased in  his  feet,  until  his  dis- 
ease was  exceeding  frreat :  yet 
in  his  disease  he  sought  not 
to  the  Lord,  but  to  the  physi- 
cians. 

13  And  A'sa  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  died  in  the  one  and 
fortieth  year  of  his  reign. 

14  And  they  buried  him  in  his 
own  sepulchres,  which  he  had 
made  for  himself  in  the  city  of 
Dft'vid,  and  laid  him   in   the 


bed  which  was  filled  with  sweet 
odours  and  divers  kinds  of 
spices  prepared  by  the  apothe- 
caries' art:  and  they  made  a 
very  great  burning  for  him. 

CHAPTER  17 

Jehoehaphat  reigns  well,  and  pros- 
pers: 7  h*  eendsLevitestoUachin 

and  onuses. 

AND  J&hdsh'a^hftt  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead,  and 
strengthened  himself  against 
Is/ra-el. 

2  And  he  placed  forces  in  all 
the  fenced  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and 
set  garrisons  in  the  land  of  Ju'- 
dah, and  in  the  cities  of  E'phrfi- 
im,  which  A'sa  his  father  had 
taken. 

3  And  the  Lord  was  with  J€- 
hosh'a-ph&t,  because  he  walked 
in  the  first  ways  of  his  father 
Da'vid,  and  sought  not  unto 
Ba'al-Im; 

4  But  sought  to  the  LORD  God 
of  his  father,  and  walked  in  his 
commandments,  and  not  after 
the  doings  of  ls/ra-el. 

5  Therefore  the  Lord  stab- 
lished  the  kingdom  in  his  hand ; 
and  all  Ju'dah  brought  to  Je- 
hosh'a-phftt  presents;  and  he 
had  riches  and  honour  in  abun- 
dance. 

6  And  his  heart  was  lifted  up 
in  the  ways  of  the  Lord  :  more- 
over he  took  away  the  high 
places  and  groves  out  of  Ju'- 

7  f  Also  in  the  third  year  of 
his  reign  he  sent  to  his  princes, 
eventoBSn-hft'il,and  toO-ba-di'- 
ah,  and  to  Zech-a-ri'ah,  and  to 
Ne-than'e-el,  and  to  Mi-chfi'iah, 
to  teach  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah. 

8  And  with  them  he  sent  LT- 
vites,  even  ShSnva-i'ah,  and 
Neth-a-ni'ah,  and  Zeo*di'ah, 
and  A'sa-h£l,  and  ShS-mlr'a- 
mfith,  and  JS-hOn'a-than,  and 
Ad-o-nl'jah,  and  To-bi'jah,  and 
T5b'~au-o-nfjah,  Le'vites;  and 
with  them  E-liah'a-ma  and  JeV 
hO'ram,  priests. 

9  And  they  taught  in  Ju'dah, 
and  had  the  book  of  the  law  of 
the  Lord  with  them,  and  went 
about  throughout  all  the  cities 
of  Ju'dah,  and  taught  the  people. 

10  ITAnd  the  fear  of  the  Lord 
fell  upon  all  the  kingdoms  of 
the  lands  that  were  round  about 
Ju'dah,  so  that  they  made  no 
war  against  Je-hdsh'a-phSt 

11  Also  some  of  the  PhMIs'- 
tines  brought  JS-hdsh'a-ph&t

12  1f  And  Jfi-h6sh>ph&t  waxed 
great  exceedingly;  and  he  built 
m  Ju'dah  castles,  and  cities  of 
store. 

13  And  he  had  much  business 
in  the  cities  of  Jfi'dah :  and  the 
men  of  war,  mighty  men  of 
valour,  were  in  JS-ru'sa-lem. 

14  And  these  are  the  numbers 
of  them  according  to  the  house 
of  their  fathers:  Of  Ju'dah,  the 
captains  of  thousands ;  Ad'nah 
the  chief,  and  with  him  mighty 
men  of  valour  three  hundred 
thousand. 

15  And  next  to  him  was  Je-ho- 
hfi'nan  the  captain,  and  with 
him  two  hundred  and  fourscore 
thousand. 

16  And  next  him  was  Anw- 
si'ah  the  son  of  Zlch'ri,  who 
willingly  offered  himself  unto 
the  Lord;  and  with  him  two 
hundred  thousand  mighty  men 
of  valour. 

17  And  of  Ben'ja-mln;  fi-li'a- 
da  a  mighty  man  of  valour,  and 
with  him  armed  men  with  bow 
and  shield  two  hundred  thou- 
sand. 

18  And  next  him  was  Je-hdz'- 
a-bSd,  and  with  him  an  hundred 
and  fourscore  thousand  ready 
prepared  for  the  war. 

19  These  waited  on  the  king, 
beside  those  whom  the  king  put 
in  the  fenced  cities  throughout 
all  Ju'dah. 

CHAPTER  18 

Jehoshaphat  and  Ahab  go  aoainst 
Ramoth-gilead.  4  Ahab* a  false 
prophets  assure  him  of  victory. 
15  Micaiah's  prophecy,  34  Ahab's 
death. 

NOW  Je-h6sh'a-ph5t  had  rich 
es  and  honour  in  abun- 
dance, and  joined  affinity  with 
ATifib. 

2  And  after  certain  years  he 
went  down  to  Ali&b  to  Sa-mS'- 
rl-a.  And  Aliftb  killed  sheep 
and  oxen  for  him  in  abundance, 
and  for  the  people  that  he  had 
with  him,  and  persuaded  him 
to  go  up  with  him  to  R&'moth- 
gil'e4d. 

3  And  Alifib  king  of  fe'ra-el 
said  unto  JS-hdsh'a-phfit  king 
of  Ju'dah,  Wilt  thou  go  with 
me  to  Ra'moth-gire-ad?  And 
he  answered  him,  I  am  as  thou 
art,  and  my  people  as  thy  peo- 
ple ;  and  we  will  be  with  thee 
in  the  war. 

4  IT  And  JS-hfish'a-phat  said 
unto  the  king  of  Is/ra-el,  En- 
quire, I  pray  thee,  at  the  word 
of  the  Lord  to  day. 

5  Therefore  the  king  of  Isra- 


el gathered  together  of  prophets 
four  hundred  men,  and  said  un- 
to them,  Shall  we  go  to  Rl'- 
moth-gire-ftd  to  battle,  or  shall 
I  forbear?  And  they  said.  Go 
up;  for  God  will  deliver  it  into 
the  king's  hand. 

6  IT  But  Je-h5sh'a-phfit  said,  Is 
there  not  here  a  prophet  of  the 
Lord  besides,  that  we  might  en- 
quire of  him? 

7  And  the  king  of  Is/ra-el  said 
unto  JS-hdsh'a-ph&t,  There  is 
yet  one  man,  by  whom  we  may 
enquire  of  the  Lord  :  but  I  hate 
him ;  for  he  never  prophesied 
good  unto  me,  but  always  evil : 
the  same  is  MI«c5'iah  the  son  of 
Imla.  And  Je-hosh'a-ph&t  said, 
Let  not  the  king  say  so. 

8  And  the  king  of  Is/ra-el 
called  for  one  of  his  officers, 
and  said,  Fetch  quickly  Ml-cfi'- 
iah  the  son  of  Imla. 

9  And  the  king  of  Is/ra-el  and 
Je-hdsh'a-phat  king  of  Ju'dah 
sat  either  of  them  on  his  throne, 
clothed  in  their  robes,  and  they 
sat  in  a  void  place  at  the  enter- 
ing in  of  the  gate  of  Sa-m&'ri-a; 
and  all  the  prophets  prophesied 
before  them. 

10  And  Z&l-e-ki'ah  the  son 
of  Ch£-na'a-nah  had  made  him 
horns  of  iron,  and  said,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  With  these  thou 
shalt  push  Sjrrl-a  until  they  be 
consumed. 

11  And  all  the  prophets  proph- 
esied so,  saying,  Go  up  to  Ka"- 
moth-gfl'e-ftd,  and  prosper:  for 
the  Lord  shall  deliver  it  into 
the  hand  of  the  king. 

12  And  the  messenger  that 
went  to  call  Mi-cfi'iah  spake  to 
him,  saying,  Behold,  the  words 
of  the  prophets  declare  good  to 
the  king  with  one  assent;  let 
thy  word  therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
be  like  one  of  their* s,  and  speak 
thou  good. 

13  And  Mi-ca'iah  said.  As  the 
Lord  liveth,  even  what  my  God 
saith,  that  will  I  speak. 

14  And  when  he  was  come  to 
the  king,  the  king  said  unto 
him,  Mi-ca"iah,  shall  we  go  to 
Rfi'moth-gil'e-ad  to  battle,  or 
shall  I  forbear?  And  he  said, 
Go  ye  up,  and  prosper,  and  they 
shall  be  delivered  into  your 
hand. 

15  And  the  king  said. to  him, 
How  many  times  shall  I  adjure 
thee  that  thou  say  nothing  but 
the  truth  to  me  in  the  name  of 
the  Lord? 

16  Then  he  said,  I  did  see 
all  Is'ra-el  scattered  upon  the 
mountains,  as  sheep  that  have 
no  shepherd:   aha  the  Lord

said,  These  have  no  master; 
let  them  return  therefore  every 
man  to  his  house  in  peace. 

17  And  the  king  of  fs'ra-el 
said  to  JS-hQsh'a-phat,  Did  I  not 
tell  thee  that  he  would  not 
prophesy  good  unto  me,  but 
evil? 

18  Again  he  said,  Therefore 
hear  the  word  of  the  Lord  ;  I 
saw  the  Lord  sitting  upon  his 
throne,  and  all  the  host  of  heav- 
en standing  on  his  right  hand 
and  on  his  left 

19  And  the  Lord  said.  Who 
shall  entice  A'hfib  king  of  Ig'ra- 
el,  that  he  may  go  up  and  fall 
at  Ra'moth-gfl'e-Sd?  And  one 
spake  saying  after  this  manner, 
and  another  saying  after  that 
manner. 

20  Then  there  came  out  a 
spirit,  and  stood  before  the 
Lord,  and  said,  I  will  entice 
him.  And  the  Lord  aaid  unto 
him,  Wherewith? 

21  And  he  said,  I  will  go  out, 
and  be  a  lying  spirit  in  the 
mouth  of  all  his  prophets*  And 
the  Lord  said,  Thou  shah  en- 
tice him,  and  thou  shalt  also 
prevail :  go  out,  and  do  even  so. 

22  Now  therefore,  behold,  the 
Lord  hath  put  a  lying  spirit  in 
the  mouth  of  these  thy  proph- 
ets, and  the  Lord  hath  spoken 
evil  against  thee. 

23  t  Then  Z£d~e-ki'ah  the  son 
of  ChS-na"a-nah  came  near,  and 
smote  Mi-cS'iah  upon  the  cheek, 
and  said,  Which  war  went  the 
Spirit  of  the  Lord  from  me  to 
speak  unto  thee? 

24  And  Mi-ca'iah  said,  Behold, 
thou  shalt  see  on  that  day 
when  thou  shalt  go  into  an  in- 
ner chamber  to  hide  thyself. 

25  Then  the  king  of  Is'ra-el 
said,  Take  ye  Mi-cS'iah,  and 
carry  him  back  to  A'mon  the 
governor  of  the  city,  and  to  JO'- 
ash  the  king's  son ; 

26  And  say,  Thus  saith  the 
king,  Put  this  feliow  in  the 
prison,  and  feed  him  with  bread 
of  affliction  and  with  water  of 
affliction,  until  I  return  in 
peace. 

27  And  Mi-cS'iah  said,  If  thou 
certainly  return  in  peace,  then 
hath  not  the  Lord  spoken  by 
me.  And  he  said,  Hearken,  all 
ye  people. 

"B  So  the  king  of  Is/ra-el  and 
Je-hash'a-phfit  the  king  of  Ju'- 
dah  went  up  to  Ri'moth-gfl'- 
e-fid. 

29  And  the  king  of  Is/ra-el 
said  unto  J€»h5sh'a-phfit,  I  will 
disguise  myself,  ana  will  go  to 
the  battle ;  but  put  thou  on  thy 


robes.  So  the  king  of  Is/ra-el 
disguised  himself;  and  they 
went  to  the  battle. 

30  Nowthekingof  Syrl-ahad 
commanded  the  captains  of  the 
chariots  that  were  with  him, 
saying,  Fight  ye  not  with  small 
or  great,  save  only  with  the 
king  of  Is/ra-el. 

31  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  captains  of  the  chariots  saw 
Jevhosh'a-phflt,  that  they  said, 
It  is  the  king  of  Is/ra-el.  There- 
fore they  compassed  about  him 
to  fight:  but  JS-hdsh'a-phSt 
cried  out,  and  the  Lord  helped 
him;  and  God  moved  them  to 
depart  from  him. 

32  For  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  the  captains  of  the  char- 
iots perceived  that  it  was  not 
the  king  of  Is/ra-el,  they  turned 
back  again  from  pursuing  him. 

33  And  a  certain  man  drew  a 
bow  at  a  venture,  and  smote 
the  king  of  Is/ra-el  between  the 

S'  >ints  of  the  harness :  therefore 
e  said  to  his  chariot  man,  Turn 
thine  hand,  that  thou  mayest 
carry  me  out  of  the  host;  for  I 
am  wounded. 

34  And  the  battle  increased 
that  day:  howbeit  the  king  of 
Is/ra-el  stayed  himself  tip  in 
his  chariot  against  the  Syri- 
ans until  the  even :  and  about 
the  time  of  the  sun  going  down 
he  died. 

CHAPTER  19 

Jehoshaphat  visit*  his  kingdom,:  5 
his  instructions  to  the  judges,  8  to 
the  priests  and  Levitts. 

AND  JS-hoWa-phat  the  king 
of  Jfi'dah  returned  to  his 
house  in  peace  to  Je-ru'sil-lem. 

2  And  Jrhu  the  son  of  Ha- 
nfi'nl  the  seer  went  out  to  meet 
him,  and  said  to  king  J&iBsh'- 
a-phfit,  Shouldest  thou  help  the 
ungodly,  and  love  them  that 
hate  the  Lord?  therefore  is 
wrath  upon  thee  from  before 
the  Lord. 

3  Nevertheless  there  are  good 
things  found  in  thee,  in  that 
thou  hast  taken  away  the 
groves  out  of  the  land,  and 
hast  prepared  thine  heart  to 

4  And  Jfc-hdsh'a-phSt  dwelt  at 
JS-ru'sfi-lem :  and  he  went  out 
again  through  the  people  from 
Bi'er-shS'ba  to  mount  E'phrft- 
im,  and  brought  them  back 
unto  the  Lord  God  of  their 
fathers. 

5  And  he  set  judges  in  the 
land  throughout  all  the  fenced 
cities  of  Ja'dah,  city  by  city , 

6  And  said  to  the  radges,  Take

who  is  with  you  in  the  judg-

7  Wherefore  now  let  the  fear 
of  the  Lord  be  upon  you ;  take 
heed  and  do  it:  for  there  is 
no  iniquity  with  the  Lord  our 
God,  nor  respect  of  persons,  nor 
taking  of  gifts.

J£-h6sh'a-phftt  set  of  the  Le'-

Lord,  and  for  controversies, 
when  they  returned  to  J$-ru'-

9  And  he  charged  them,  say- 
ing, Thus  shall  ye  do  in  the 
fear  of  the  Lord,  faithfully, 
and  with  a  perfect  heart 

10  And  what  cause  soever 
shall  come  to  you  of  your  breth- 
ren that  dwell  in  their  cities,  be- 
tween blood  and  blood,  between 
law  and  commandment,  statutes 
and  judgments,  ye  shall  even 
warn  them  that  they  trespass 
not  against  the  Lord,  and  so 
wrath  come  upon  you,  and  up- 
on your  brethren :  this  do,  and 
ye  shall  not  trespass. 

11  And,  behold,  Am-a-ri'ah  the 
chief  priest  is  over  you  in  all 
matters  of  the  Lord;  andZ€b-a- 
di'ah  the  son  of  Ish'raa-el,  the 
ruler  of  the  house  of  Ju'dah,  for 
all  the  king's  matters :  also  the 
LS'vites  shall  be  officers  before 
you.  Deal  courageously,  and  the 
Lord  shall  be  with  the  good. 

CHAPTER  20 

Jehoshaphat,  invaded  by  the  Moab- 
ites,  proclaim*  a  fast :  5  his  prayer: 
22  the  overthrow  of  hie  enemies  :  31 
his  reign, 

IT  came  to  pass  after  this  also, 
that  the  children  of  MO'ab, 
and  the  children  of  Am'm6n, 
and  with  them  other  beside  the 
Am'mon-ites,  came  against  JS-

2  Then  there  came  some 
that  told  J£-hdsh'a-phfit,  say- 
ing, There  cometh  a  great  mul-

the  sea  on  this  side  SJrl-a ;  and, 
behold,  they&€inHaVa-z6n-ta'-

3  And  Jfr-h6sh'a-phftt  feared, 
and  set  himself  to  seek  the 
Lord,  and  proclaimed  a  fast 
throughout  all  Ju'dah. 

4  And  Ju'dah  gathered  them- 
selves together,  to  ask  help  of 
the  Lord  :  even  out  of  all  the 
cities  of  Ju'dah  they  came  to 
seek  the  Lord. 

5  IT  And  J£-h8sh'a-phfit  stood 
in  the  congregation  of  Ju'dah 
and  JS-ru'sa-iem,  in  the  house  of 


the  Lord,  before  the  new  court, 

6  And  said,  0  Lord  God  of  our 
fathers,  art  not  thou  God  in 
heaven?  and  rulest  not  thou 
over  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
heathen?  and  in  thine  hand  is 
there  not  power  and  might,  so 
that  none  is  able  to  withstand 
thee? 

7  Art  not  thou  our  God,  who 
didst  drive  out  the  inhabitants 
of  this  land  before  thy  people 
Is'ra-el,  and  gavest  it  to  the 
seed  of  A'brfi-h&m  thy  friend 
for  ever? 

8  And  they  dwelt  therein, 
and  have  built  thee  a  sanctu- 
ary therein  for  thy  name,  say- 
ing, 

9  If,  when  evil  cometh  upon 
us,  as  the  sword,  judgment,  or 
pestilence,  or  famine,  we  stand 
before  this  house,  and  in  thy 
presence,  (for  thy  name  is  in 
this  house,)  and  cry  unto  thee 
in  our  affliction,  then  thou  wilt 
hear  and  help. 

10  And  now,  behold,  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mdn  andMS'ab  and 
mount  Stfr,  whom  thou  would- 
est  not  let  Is/ra-el  invade,  when 
they  came  out  of  the  land  of 
B'&ypt,  but  they  turned  from 
them,  and  destroyed  them  not; 

11  Behold,  I  say,  how  they  re- 
ward us,  to  come  to  cast  us  out 
of  thy  possession,  which  thou 
hast  given  us  to  inherit 

12  0  our  God,  wilt  thou  not 
judge  them?  for  we  have  no 
might  against  this  great  com- 
pany that  cometh  against  us; 
neither  know  we  what  to  do: 
but  our  eyes  are  upon  thee. 

13  And  all  Ju'dah  stood  before 
the  Lord,  with  their  little  ones, 
their  wives,  and  their  children. 

14  Then  upon  Ja-hS'ri-el  the 
son  of  Zech-a-ri'ah,  the  son  of 
Bfc-na'iah,  the  son  of  Je-fel,  the 
son  of  M&t-ta-ni'ah,  a  LS'vite  of 
the  sons  of  A'saph,  came  the 
Spirit  of  the  Lord  in  the  midst 
oi  the  congregation; 

15  And  he  said,  Hearken  ye, 
all  Ju'dah,  and  ye  inhabitants 
of  J8-ru'sfi-lSm,  and  thou  king 
J5-h5sh'a-phSt,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  unto  you,  Be  not  afraid 
nor  dismayed  by  reason  of  this 
great  multitude;  for  the  battle 
is  not  your/s,  but  God's. 

16  To  morrow  go  ye  down 
against  them:  behold,  they 
come  up  by  the  cliff  of  Ziz ;  and 
ye  shall  find  them  at  the  end  of 
the  brook,  before  the  wilderness 
of  JeVu-eL 

17  Ye  shall  not  need  to  fight 
in  this  battle :  set  yourselves, 
stand  ye  still,  and  see  the  salva-

tion  of  the  Lord  with  yon,  0 
Jfi'dah  and  Je-ru'sfi-l&n :  fear 
not,  nor  be  dismayed ;  to  mor- 
row go  oat  against  them:  for 
the  Lord  will  be  with  you. 

18  And  Je-hdsh'a-phfit  bowed 
his  head  with  his  face  to  the 
ground :  and  all  Jfi'dah  and  the 
inhabitants  of  Jfcru'sa-lein  fell 
before  the  Lord,  worshipping 
the  Lord. 

19  And  the  LTvites,  of  the 
children  of  the  KGliath-itcs, 
and  of  the  children  of  the  Kor'- 
hites,  stood  up  to  praise  the 
Lord  God  of  Is/ra-el  with  a 
loud  voice  on  high. 

20  IT  And  they  rose  early  in 
the  morning)  and  went  forth 
into  the  wilderness  of  TeVkd'a: 
and  as  they  went  forth,  Je-bosh'- 
a-phflt  stood  and  said.  Hear  me, 
0  Jfi'dah,  and  ye  inhabitants 
of  Je-ru'sa-lgm ;  Believe  in  the 
Lord  your  God,  so  shall  ye  be 
established;  believe  his  proph- 
ets, so  shall  ye  prosper. 

21  And  when  he  had  consult- 
ed with  the  people,  he  appointed 
singers  unto  the  Lord,  and  that 
should  praise  the  beauty  of  holi- 
ness, as  they  went  out  before  the 
army,  and  to  say,  Praise  the 
Lord;  for  his  mercy  endureth 
forever. 

22  1TAnd  when  they  began  to 
sing  and  to  praise,  the  Lord 
set  ambushments  against  the 
children  of  Am'mon,  Md'ab,  and 
mount  Se"ir,  which  were  come 
against  Jfi'dah ;  and  they  were 
smitten. 

23  For  the  children  of  Am'- 
mdn  and  MO'ab  stood  up  against 
the  inhabitants  of  mount  S£ir, 
utterly  to  slay  and  destroy 
them:  and  when  they  had 
made  an  end  of  the  inhabitants 
of  SCIr,  every  one  helped  to  de- 
stroy another. 

24  And  when  Jfi'dah  came  to- 
ward the  watch  tower  in  the 
wilderness,  they  looked  unto 
the  multitude,  and,  behold,  they 
were  dead  bodies  fallen  to  the 
earth,  and  none  escaped. 

25  And  when  Je-h5sh'a.phfit 
and  his  people  came  to  take 
away  the  spoil  of  them,  they 
found  among  them  in  abun- 
dance both  riches  with  the  dead 
bodies,  and  precious  jewels, 
which  they  stripped  off  for 
themselves,  more  than  they 
could  carry  away:  and  they 
were  three  days  in  gathering 
of  the  spoil,  it  was  so  much. 

26  And  on  the  fourth  day  they 
assembled  themselves  in  the 
valley  of  BeVa-chah ;  for  there 
they  blessed  the  Lord:  there- 


fore the  name  of  the  same  place 
was  called,  The  valley  of  BeVa- 
chah,  unto  this  day. 

27  Then  they  returned,  every 
man  of  Jfi'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lgm, 
and  Je-hosh'a-phat  in  the  fore- 
front of  them,  to  go  again  to 
Je-ru'sft-lem  with  joy;  for  the 
Lord  had  made  them  to  rejoice 
over  their  enemies. 

28  And  they  came  to  Je-ru/sfi- 
Iem  with  psalteries  and  harps 
and  trumpets  unto  the  house  of 
the  Lord. 

29  And  the  fear  of  God  was 
on  all  the  kingdoms  of  those 
countries,  when  they  had  heard 
that  the  Lord  fought  against 
the  enemies  of  Is/ra-el. 

30  So  the  realm  of  J£-h5sh'a- 
phfit  was  quiet:  for  his  God 
gave  him  rest  round  about 

31  ITAnd  Je-h&sh'a-phSt  reigned 
over  Jfi'dah :  he  was  thirty  and 
five  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  he  reigned  twenty 
and  five  years  in  Je^ru/sa-lem. 
And  his  mother's  name  was 
A-anVbah  the  daughter  of  ShlThi. 

32  And  he  walked  in  the  way 
of  A'sa  his  father,  and  departed 
not  from  it,  doing  that  which 
was  right  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord. 

33  Howbeit  the  high  places 
were  not  taken  away:  for  as 
yet  the  people  had  not  prepared 
their  hearts  unto  the  God  of 
their  fathers. 

34  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Je-hosh'a-phfit,  first  and  last,  be- 
hold, they  are  written  in  the 
book  of  Jelifi  the  son  of  H&- 
nfi'ni,  who  is  mentioned  in  the 
book  of  the  kings  of  Is/ra-el. 

35  %  And  after  this  did  Je- 
hosh'a-ph&t  king  of  Jfi'dah  join 
himself  with  A-ha-ri'ah  king  of 
Is/ra-el,  who  did  very  wickedly 

36  And  he  joined  himself  with 
him  to  make  ships  to  go  to  TaV- 
shish :  and  they  made  the  ships 
in  tfri-on-gfi'ber. 

37  Then  E-li-e'ze*r  the  son  of 
Do'da-vah  of  Mfi-rg'shah  proph- 
esied against  Je-h5sh'a-ph&t, 
saying,  Because  thou  hast  joined 
thyself  with  A-ha-zTah,  the 
Lord  hath  broken  thy  works. 
And  the  ships  were  broken,  that 
they  were  not  able  to  go  to 
TaVshish.

2  And  he  had  brethren  the 
sons  of  J6-hdsh'a-phfit,  Az-a-rf- 
ah,  and  Je>hfel,  andZech-a-ri'ah, 
and  Az-a-ri'ah,  and  Ml'chael, 
and  Sheph-a-ti'ah:  all  these 
were  the  sons  of  J&hdsh'a-ph&t 
king  of  Is/xa-el. 

3  And  their  father  gave  them 
great  gifts  of  silver,  and  of  gold, 
and  of  precions  things,  with 
fenced  cities  in  Ju'dah :  but  the 
kingdom  gave  he  to  JS-hd'ram ; 
because  he  was  the  firstborn. 

4  Now  when  J£-h5'ram  was 
risen  up  to  the  kingdom  of  his 
father,  he  strengthened  him- 
self, and  slew  all  his  brethren 
with  the  sword,  and  divers  also 
of  the  princes  of  Is/ra-el. 

5  IT  J€-h5'ram  was  thirty  and 
two  years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  he  reigned  eight 
years  in  Jfe-ru'sa-Iem. 

6  And  he  walked  in  the  way 
of  the  kings  of  Is/ra-el,  like  as 
did  the  house  of  ATiftb :  for  he 
had  the  daughter  of  Altai)  to 
wife:  and  he  wrought  that 
which  was  evil  in  the  eyes  of 
the  Lord. 

7  Howbeit  the  Lord  would 
not  destroy  the  house  of  D&'vid, 
because  of  the  covenant  that 
he  had  made  with  Da'vid,  and 
as  he  promised  to  give  a  light 
to  him  and  to  his  sons  for  ever. 

8  IF  In  his  days  the  &Mom-ites 
revolted  from  under  the  domin- 
ion of  Ju'dah,  and  made]  them- 
selves a  king. 

9  Then  Je-hS'ram  went  forth 
with  his  princes,  and  all  his 
chariots  with  him :  and  he  rose 
up  by  night,  and  smote  the 
E'dom-ites  which  compassed 
him  in,  and  the  captains  of  the 
chariots. 

10  So  the  E'dom-ites  revolted 
from  under  the  hand  of  Jft'dah 
unto  this  day.  The  same  time 
also  did  LftYnah  revolt  from 
under  his  hand ;  because  he  had 
forsaken  the  Lord  God  of  his 
fathers. 

11  Moreover  he  made  high 
places  in  the  mountains  of  Ju'- 
dah, and  caused  the  inhabitants 
of  J£*ru's3-lSm  to  commit  forni- 
cation, and  compelled  J&'dah 
thereto, 

12  ITAnd  there  came  a  writing 
to  him  from  E-li'jah  the  proph 
et,  saying,  Thus  aaith  the  Lord 
God  of  Da'vid  thy  father,  Be- 
cause thou  hast  not  walked  in 
the  ways  Of  Je>hdsh'a-phfit  thy 
father,  nor  in  the  ways  of  A'sa 
king  of  Ju'dah, 

13  But  hast  walked  in  the  way 
of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el,  and  hast 
made  JfTdah  and  the  inhabitants 


of  JeVrg'sd-lftn  to  go  a  whoring, 
like  to  the  whoredoms  of  the 
house  of  Allah,  and  also  hast 
slain  thy  brethren  of  thy  fa- 
ther's house,  which  were  bet- 
ter than  thyself : 

14  Behold,  with  a  great  plague 
will  the  Lord  smite  thy  people, 
and  th  v  children,  and  thy  wives, 
and  all  thy  goods: 

15  And  thou  shalt  have  great 
sickness  by  disease  of  thy  bow- 
els, until  thy  bowels  fall  out  by 
reason  of  the  sickness  day  by 
day. 

16  If  Moreover  the  Lord 
stirred  up  against  Jfc-ho"ram  the 
spirit  of  the  Phi-Hs'tinea,  and 
of  the  A-raltf-ana,  that  were 
near  the  E-thI-5'pI-ans. : 

.17  And  they  came  up  into  JfT- 
dah, and  brake  into  it,  and  car- 
ried away  all  the  substance  that 
was  found  in  the  king's  house, 
and  his  sons  also,  and  his  wives ; 
so  that  there  was  never  a  son 
left  him,  save  JS-hffa-haz,  the 
youngest  of  his  sons. 

18  And  after  all  this  the  Lord 
smote  him  in  his  bowels  with 
an  incurable  disease. 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
in  process  of  time,  after  the 
end  of  two  years,  his  bowels 
fell  out  by  reason  of  his  sick 
ness :  so  he  died  of  sore  diseases. 
And  his  people  made  no  burn- 
ing for  him,  like  the  burning  of 
his  fathers. 

20  Thirty  and  two  years  old 
was  he  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  in  Je-ru'sfi-lem 
eight  years,  and  departed  with- 
out being  desired.  Howbeit 
they  buried  him  in  the  city  of 
Dfi'vid,  but  not  in  the  sepulchres 
of  the  kings.

AND  the  inhabitants  of  J6-

2  Forty  and  two  years  old 
was  A-ha-n'ah  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  he  reigned  one 
year  in  JS-ru'sS-lem.  His  moth- 
er's name  also  was  Ath-a-li'ah 
the  daughter  of  Om'ri. 

3  He  also  walked  in  the  ways 
of  the  house  of  ATiSb :  for  his 
mother  was  his  counsellor  to  do 
wickedly.

sight  of  the  Lord  like  the  house 
of  ATiftb:  for  they  were  his 
counsellors  after  the  death  of 
his  father  to  his  destruction. 

5  He  walked  also  after  their 
counsel,  and  went  with  J£-h6 
ram  the  son  of  Alifib  king  of 
Is/ra-el  to  war  against  HaVa-el 
king  of  SffUi  at  Ra'moth-gil'- 
e-id :  ana  the  Syrt-ans.  smote 
Jo"ram» 

6  And  he  returned  to  he 
healed  in  J&re-el  because  of 
the  wounds  which  were  given 
him  at  Rfl'mah,  when  he  fought 
with  HSzVel  king  of  Sfrl-a. 
And  Az-a-rfah  the  son  of  J£-h5'- 
ram  king  of  Jfl'dah  went  down 
to  see  Jfc-hfl'ram  the  son  of 
A^hal)  at  J&rtre-el,  because  he 
was  sick. 

7  And  the  destruction  of  A-ha- 
zTah  was  of  God  by  coming  to 
Jtfram :  for  when  he  was  come, 
he  went  out  with  J$-h5'ram 
against  Je~hfi  the  son  of  NIm'- 
shi,  whom  the  Lord  had  anoint- 
ed to  cut  off  the  house  of  Allah, 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  Je^hfi  was  executing  judg- 
ment upon  the  house  of  A/nab, 
and  found  the  princes  of  Jfi'- 
dah,  and  the  sons  of  the  breth- 
ren of  A-ha-si'ah,  that  minis- 
tered to  A-ha-cTah,  he  slew 
them. 

9  And  he  sought  A-ha-si'ah: 
and  they  caught  him,  (for  he 
was  hid  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,)  and 
brought  him  to  JgTril:  and 
when  they  had  slain  him,  they 
buried  him:  Because,  said  they, 
he  is  the  son  of  J&bdsh'a-ph&t, 
who  sought  the  Lord  with  all 
his  heart  So  the  house  of 
A-ha-d'ah  had  no  power  to 
keep  still  the  kingdom. 

10  IT  But  when  Ath-a-li'ah  the 
mother  of  A-ha-si'ah  saw  that 
her  son  was  dead,  she  arose  and 
destroyed  all  the  seed  royal  of 
the  house  of  Jfi'dah. 

11  But  JS'hfr«hab'e-ath,  the 
daughter  of  the  king,  took  J5' 
fish  the  son  of  A-ha-al'ah,  and 
stole  him  from  among  the 
king's  sons  that  were  slain,  and 
put  him  and  his  nurse  in  a  bed- 
chamber. So  Je^tohfib'e-ftth, 
the  daughter  of  king  Je-hd'ram, 
the  wife  of  JS-hoi'a-da  the  priest, 
(for  she  was  the  sister  of  A-ha- 
zi'ah,)  hid  him  from  Ath-a-li'ah, 
so  that  she  slew  him  not 

12  And  he  was  with  them  hid 
in  the  house  of  God  six  years 
and  Ath-a-li'ah  reigned  over  the 
land. 

CHAPTER  23 

Jekoiada  makes  Joash  king.    12  Ath- 
aliah  it  slain.     16  Jekoiada  re- 


stores the  vnrship  of  God,  and 
settles  the  king,  eta. 

AND  in  the  seventh  year  J£- 
hoi'a-da  strengthened  him- 
self, and  took  the  captains  of 
hundreds,  Az-a-ri'ah  the  son  of 
Jer'o-h&m,  and  lsh'ma-el  the  son 
of  JS-h6-ha'nan,  and  Az-a-ri'ah 
the  son  of  Coed,  and  Mfi-a-s£'- 
iah  the  son  of  Ad-a-i'ah,  and 
&4ish'a-phfit  the  son  of  Zlch'ri, 
into  covenant  with  him. 

2  And  they  went  about  in  Ju'- 
dah,  and  gathered  the  Le'vites 
out  of  all  the  cities  of  Ja'dah, 
and  the  chief  of  the  fathers  of 
Is/ra-el,  and  they  came  to  J&- 
ru/sa-lSm. 

3  And  all  the  congregation 
made  a  covenant  with  the  king 
in  the  house  of  God.  And  he 
said  unto  them,  Behold,  the 
king's  son  shall  reign,  as  the 
Lord  hath  said  of  the  sons  of 
Dfi'vid. 

4  This  is  the  thing  that  ye 
shall  do;  A  third  part  of  you 
entering  on  the  sabbath,  of  the 
priests  and  of  the  Le'vites,  shall 
he  porters  of  the  doors ; 

5  And  a  third  part  shall  be  at 
the  king's  house;  and  a  third 
part  at  the  gate  of  the  founda- 
tion: and  all  the  people  shall 
be  in  the  courts  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord. 

6  But  let  none  come  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  save  the 
priests,  and  they  that  minister 
of  the  Le'vites;  they  shall  go 
in,  for  they  are  holy:  but  all 
the  people  shall  keep  the  watch 
of  the  LORD. 

7  And  the  Le'vites  shall  com- 
pass the  king  round  about  every 
man  with  his  weapons  in  his 
hand ;  and  whosoever  else  com- 
eth  into  the  house,  he  shall  be 
put  to  death:  but  be  ye  with 
the  king  when  he  cometh  in, 
and  when  he  goeth  out 

8  So  the  Le'vites  and  all  Jfi'- 
dah did  according  to  all  things 
that  J&hoi'a-da  the  priest  had 
commanded,  and  took  every 
man  his  men  that  were  to  come 
in  on  the  sabbath,  with  them 
that  were  to  go  out  on  the  sab- 
bath :  for  J€-hoi'a-da  the  priest 
dismissed  not  the  courses. 

9  Moreover  J£-hoi'a-da  the 
priest  delivered  to  the  captains 
of  hundreds  spears,  and  buck- 
lers, and  shields,  that  had  been 
king  Da'vid's,  which  were  in 
the  house  of  God. 

10  And  he  set  all  the  people, 
every  man  having  bis  weapon 
in  his  hand,  from  the  right  side 
of  the  temple  to  the  left  side  of 
the  temple,  along  by  the  altar

and  the  temple,  by  the  king 
round  about 

11  Then  they  brought  out  the 
king's  son,  and  put  upon  him 
the  crown,  and  gave  nim  the 
testimony,  and  made  him  king. 
And  Je-hoi'a-da  and  his  sons 
anointed  him,  and  said,  God 
save  the  king. 

12  1  Now  when  Ath-a-li'ah 
heard  the  noise  of  the  people 
running  and  praising  the  king, 
she  came  to  the  people  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord: 

13  And  she  looked,  and,  be- 
hold, the  king  stood  at  his  pil- 
lar at  the  entering  in,  and  the 
princes  and  the  trumpets  by  the 
lane:  and  all  the  people  of  the 
land  rejoiced,  and  sounded  with 
trumpets,  also  the  singers  with 
instruments  of  musick,  and  such 
as  taught  to  sing  praise.  Then 
Ath-a-li'ah  rent  her  clothes,  and 
said,  Treason,  Treason. 

14  Then  JS-hoi'a-da  the  priest 
brought  out  the  captains  of 
hundreds  that  were  set  over 
the  host,  and  said  unto  them, 
Have  her  forth  of  the  ranges: 
and  whoso  followeth  her,  let 
him  be  slain  with  the  sword. 
For  the  priest  said,  Slay  her  not 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

15  So  they  laid  hands  on  her ; 
and  when  she  was  come  to  the 
entering  of  the  horse  gate  by 
the  king's  house,  they  slew  her 
there. 

16  IT  And  JS-hoi'a-da  made  a 
covenant  between  him,  and  be- 
tween all  the  people,  and  be- 
tween the  king,  that  they 
should  be  the  Lord's  people. 

17  Then  all  the  people  went 
to  the  house  of  B§'al,  and  brake 
it  down,  and  brake  his  altars 
and  his  images  in  pieces,  and 
slew  Mfit'tan  the  priest  of  Ba'al 
before  the  altars. 

18  Also  JS-hoi'a-da  appointed 
the  offices  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord  by  the  hand  of  the  priests 
the  LS'vites,  whom  Da'vid  had 
distributed  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  to  offer  the  burnt  offer- 
ings of  the  Lord,  as  it  is  writ- 
ten in  the  law  of  Mo'ses,  with 
rejoicing  and  with  singing,  as 
it  was  ordained  by  DaVid. 

19  And  he  set  the  porters  at 
the  gates  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  that  none  which  was  un- 
clean in  any  thing  should  enter 
in. 

20  And  he  took  the  captains 
of  hundreds,  and  the  nobles,  and 
the  governors  of  the  people,  and 
all  the  people  of  the  land,  and 
brought  down  the  king  from 
the  house  of  the  Lord:  and 


they  came  through  the  high 
gate  into  the  king's  house,  and 
set  the  king  upon  the  throne 
of  the  kingdom. 
21  And  all  the  people  of  the 
land  rejoiced:  and  the  city 
was  quiet,  after  that  they  had 
slain  Xth-a-li'ah  with  the  sword. 

CHAPTER  24 

Joaeh  reigns  well  all  the  days  ofJohoi- 
ada.  IS  Jehoiada  being  dead,  17 
Joaeh  falle  to  idolatry:  23  As  is 
elain  by  hie  servants, 

JO'ASH  was  seven  years  old 
when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  forty  years  in 
JS-ru'sa-lem.  His  mother's  name 
also  was  Zlbl-ah  of  BCer- 
shrba. 

2  And  JO'fish  did  that  which 
was  right  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  all  the  days  of  JS-hoi'a-da 
the  priest 

3  And  Je-hoi'a-da  took  for  him 
two  wives;  and  he  begat  sons 
and  daughters. 

4  %  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
this,  that  JO'fish  was  minded  to 
repair  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

5  And  he  gathered  together 
the  priests  and  the  LS'vites, 
and  said  to  them,  Go  out  unto 
the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  gather 
of  all  Is'ra-el  money  to  repair 
the  house  of  your  God  from 
year  to  year,  and  see  that  ye 
hasten  the  matter.  Howbeitthe 
Le'vftes  hastened  it  not. 

6  And  the  king  called  for 
JS-hoi'a-da  the  chief,  and  said 
unto  him,  Why  hast  thou  not 
required  of  the  LeVites  to  bring 
in  out  of  Ju'dah  and  out  of  JeVru'- 
s§4Sm  the  collection,  according 
to  the  commandment  of  Mo'ses 
the  servant  of  the  Lord,  and  of 
the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el,  for 
the  tabernacle  of  witness? 

7  For  the  sons  of  Ath-a-li'ah, 
that  wicked  woman,  had  broken 
up  the  house  of  God;  and  also 
all  the  dedicated  things  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord  did  they  be- 
stow upon  Ba'al-lm. 

8  And  at  the  king's  command- 
ment they  made  a  chest,  and 
set  it  without  at  the  gate  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

9  And  they  made  a  proclama- 
tion through  Ju'dah  and  JS-ru'- 
s£-l£m,  to  bring  in  to  the  Lord 
the  collection  that  Mo'seg  the 
servant  of  God  laid  upon  Is/ra-el 
in  the  wilderness. 

10  And  all  the  princes  and  all 
the  people  rejoiced,  and  brought 
in,  and  cast  into  the  chest;  until 
they  had  made  an  end. 

11  Now  it  came  to  pass,  that 
at  what  time  the  cnest  was 
brought  unto  the  king's  office

by  the  hand  of  the  LS'vItes, 
and  when  they  saw  that  there 
was  much  money,  the  king's 
scribe  and  the  high  priest's 
officer  came  and  emptied  the 
chest,  and  took  it,  and  carried 
it  to  his  place  again.  Thus 
they  did  day  by  day,  and  gath- 
ered money  in  abundance. 

12  And  the  king  and  JS-hoi'- 
a-da  gave  it  to  such  as  did  the 
work  of  the  service  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  hired  masons 
and  carpenters  to  repair  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  also 
such  as  wrought  iron  and  brass 
to  mend  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

13  So  the  workmen  wrought, 
and  the  work  was  perfected  by 
them,  and  they  set  the  house  of 
God  in  his  state,  and  strength- 
ened it 

14  And  when  they  had  fin- 
ished it,  they  brought  the  rest 
of  the  money  before  the  king 
and  JS-hoi'a-da,  whereof  were 
made  vessels  for  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  even  vessels  to  min- 
ister, and  to  offer  withal,  and 
spoons,  and  vessels  of  gold  and 
silver.  And  they  offered  burnt 
offerings  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord  continually  all  the  days 
of  JS-hoi'a-da. 

15  t  But  Jfc-hoi'a-da  waxed  old, 
and  was  full  of  days  when  he 
died;  an  hundred  and  thirty 
years  old  was  he  when  he  died. 

16  And  they  buried  him  in 
the  city  of  Da'vid  among  the 
kings,  because  he  had  done  good 
in  I&'ra-el,  both  toward  God,  and 
toward  his  house. 

17  Now  after  the  death  of 
J&hoi'a-da  came  the- princes  of 
J&'dah,  and  made  obeisance  to 
the  king.  Then  the  king  heark- 
ened unto  them. 

18  And  they  left  the  house  of 
the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers, 
and  served  groves  and  idols: 
and  wrath  came  upon  Ju'dah 
and  J€-ru'sa-lem  for  this  their 
trespass. 

19  Yet  he  sent  prophets  to 
them,  to  bring  them  again  unto 
the  Lord;  and  they  testified 
against  them:  but  they  would 
not  give  ear. 

20  And  the  Spirit  of  God  came 
upon  Zech-a-ri'ah  the  son  of 
Jg-hoi'a-da  the  priest,  which 
stood  above  the  people,  and  said 
unto  them,  Thus  saith  God,  Why 
transgress  ye  the  command- 
ments of  the  Lord,  that  ye  can- 
not prosper?  because  ye  have 
forsaken  the  Lord,  he  hath  also 
forsaken  you. 

21  And  they  conspired  against 
him,  and  stoned  him  with  stones 


at  the  commandment  of  the 
king  in  the  court  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord. 

22  Thus  Jo'ash  the  king  re- 
membered not '  the  kindness 
which  Je-hoi'a-da  his  father  had 
done  to  him,  but  slew  his  son. 
And  when  he  died,  he  said,  The 
Lord  look  upon  it,  and  require 
it. 

23  f  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  the  year,  that  the  host  of 
Syrf-a  came  up  against  him: 
and  they  came  to  Ju'dah  and 
Je-ru'sS-fem,  and  destroyed  all 
the  princes  of  the  people  from 
among  the  people,  and  sent  all 
the  spoil  of  them  unto  the  king 
of  DS-mas'cus. 

24  For  the  army  of  the  Syr'- 
I-ant  came  with  a  small  company 
of  men,  and  the  Lord  delivered 
a  very  great  host  into  their 
hand,  because  they  had  forsaken 
the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers. 
So  they  executed  judgment 
against  Jd'fish. 

25  And  when  they  were  de- 
parted from  him,  (for  they  left 
him  in  great  diseases,)  his  own 
servants  conspired  against  him 
for  the  blood  of  the  sons  of 
J&-hoi'a-da  the  priest,  and  slew 
him  on  his  bed,  and  he  died :  and 
they  buried  him  in  the  city  of 
Da'vid,  but  they  buried  him  not 
in  the  sepulchres  of  the  kings. 

26  And  these  are  they  that 
conspired  against  him;  Zithfid 
the  son  of  Shlm'e-fith  an  Am'- 
mon-lt-ess,  and  J&hdz'a-bfid  the 
son  of  Shlm'rlth  a  M6'ab-lt-ess. 

27  Now  concerning  his  sons, 
and  the  greatness  of  the  burdens 
laid  upon  him,  and  the  repair- 
ing of  the  house  of  God,  behold, 
they  are  written  in  the  story  of 
the  book  of  the  kings.  And 
Am-a-si'ah  his  son  reigned  in 
his  stead. 

CHAPTER  25 

Amaxiah  begins  to  reign  well :  5  hav- 
ing hired  an  army  of  Israelites 
against  the  Edomites,  at  the  word 
qf  a  prophet  he  loses  an  hundred 
talents,  and  dismisses  them :  11  he 
overthrows  the  Edomites  :  17  he  pro- 
vokes Joash  to  his  overthrow* 

AM-A-Z1'AH  was  twenty  and 
five  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign,  and  he  reigned 
twenty  and  nine  years  in  J&-nj'- 
sft-lem.  And  his  mother's  name 
was  Je-h5-ad'dan  of  J£-ru'sa-l£m. 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was 
right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
but  not  with  a  perfect  heart 

3  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  kingdom  was  established  to 
him,  that  he  slew  his  servants 
that  had  killed  the  king  his 
father.

4  But  he  slew  not  their  chil- 
dren* but  did  as  it  is  written  in 
the  law  in  the  book  of  M5'se& 
where  the  Lord  commanded, 
saying,  The  fathers  shall  not 
die  for  the  children,  neither 
shall  the  children  die  for  the 
fathers,  but  every  man  shall  die 
for  his  own  sin. 

5  If  Moreover  Am-a-zi'ah  gath- 
ered Ju'dah  together,  and  made 
them  captains  over  thousands, 
and  captains  over  hundreds,  ac- 
cording to  the  houses  of  their 
fathers,  throughout  all  Ju'dah 
and  Ben'ja-min:  and  he  num- 
bered them  from  twenty  years 
old  and  above,  and  found  them 
three  hundred  thousand  choice 
men,  able  to  go  forth  to  war, 
that  could  handle  spear  and 
shield. 

6  He  hired  also  an  hundred 
thousand  mighty  men  of  valour 
out  of  Is/ra-el  for  an  hundred 
talents  of  silver. 

7  But  there  came  a  man  of  God 
to  him,  saying,  0  king,  let  not 
the  army  of  Is/ra-el  go  with  thee; 
for  the  Lord  is  not  with  Is/ra-el, 
to  wit,  with  all  the  children  of 
£'phra-Im. 

8  But  if  thou  wilt  go,  do  it,  be 
strong  for  the  battle :  God  shall 
make  thee  fall  before  the  en- 
emy: for  God  hath  power  to 
help,  and  to  cast  down. 

9  And  Am-a-zi'ah  said  to  the 
man  of  God,  But  what  shall  we 
do  for  the  hundred  talents  which 
I  have  given  to  the  army  of  Is' 
ra-el  ?  And  the  man  of  God  an- 
swered, The  Lord  is  able  to 
give  thee  much  more  than  this. 

10  Then  Am-a-zi'ah  separated 
them,  to  wit,  the  army  that  was 
come  to  him  out  of  E'phrfi-im, 
to  go  home  again:  wherefore 
their  anger  was  greatly  kindled 
against  Ju'dah,  and  they  re- 
turned home  in  great  anger. 

11  And  Ara-a-zi'ah  strength- 
ened himself,  and  led  forth  his 
people,  and  went  to  the  valley 
of  salt;  and  smote  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Selr  ten  thousand. 

12  And  other  ten  thousand 
left  alive  did  the  children  of 
Ju'dah  carry  away  captive,  and 
brought  them  unto  the  top  of 
the  rock,  and  cast  them  down 
from  the  top  of  the  rock,  that 
they  all  were  broken  in  pieces. 

13  But  the  soldiers  of  the  army 
which  Am-a-zTah  sent  back, 
that  they  should  not  go  with 
him  to  battle,  fell  upon  the  cit- 
ies of  Jfl'dah,  •  f rom  Sa-mfi'rl-a 
even  unto  B£th-h6'r5n,  and 
smote  three  thousand  of  them, 
and  took  much  spoil. 


14  ITNow  it  came  to  pass,  af- 
ter that  Am-a-zi'ah  was  come 
from  the  slaughter  of  the 
E'dom-ites,  that  he  brought  the 
gods  of  the  children  of  S£ur, 
and  set  them  up  to  be  his  gods, 
and  bowed  down  himself  before 
them,  and  burned  incense  unto 
them. 

15  Wherefore  the  anger  of 
the  Lord  was  kindled  against 
Am-a-zi'ah,  and  he  sent  unto 
him  a  prophet,  which  said  unto 
him,  Why  hast  thou  sought  af- 
ter the  gods  of  the  people, 
which  could  not  deliver  their 
own  people  out  of  thine  hand? 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he 
talked  with  him,  that  the  king 
said  unto  him,  Art  thou  made 
of  the  lane's  counsel?  forbear; 
why  shouldest  thou  be  smitten  ? 
Then  the  prophet  forbare,  and 
said,  I  know  that  God  hath  de- 
termined to  destroy  thee,  be- 
cause thou  hast  done  this,  and 
hast  not  hearkened  unto  my 
counsel. 

17  TThen  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah  took  advice,  and  sent  to 
J5'£sh,  the  son  of  Je-hd'a-hSz, 
the  son  of  Jeliu,  king-of  Is/ra-el, 
saving,  Come,  let  us  see  one  an 
other  in  the  face. 

18  And  Jo'ash  king  of  Is/ra-el 
sent  to  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'- 
dah,' saying,  The  thistle  that 
was  in  Leb'a-non  sent  to  the 
cedar  that  was  in  LSb'a-non, 
saying,  Give  thy  daughter  to 
my  son  to  wife:  and  there 
passed  by  a  wild  beast  that  was 
in  LeVa-non,  and  trode  down 
the  thistle.   , 

19  Thou  sayest,  Lo,  thou  hast 
smitten  the  E'dom-ites;  and 
thine  heart  lifteth  thee  up  to 
boast:  abide  now  at  home; 
why  shouldest  thou  meddle  to 
thine  hurt,  that  thou  shouldest 
fall,  even  thou,  and  Ju'dah  with 
thee? 

20  But  Am-a-zi'ah  would  not 
hear;  for  it  came  of  God,  that 
he  might  deliver  them  into  the 
hand  of  their  enemies,  because 
they  sought  after  the  gods  of 
E'dom. 

21  So  Jo'ash  the  king  of  Ig'- 
ra-el  went  up;  and  they  saw 
one  another  in  the  face,  both 
he  and  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'- 
dah, at  B£th-she'mesh,  which 
belongeth  to  Ju'dah. 

22  And  Ju'dah  was  put  to  the 
worse  before  Is^ra-el,  and  they 
fled  every  man  to  his  tent 

23  And  Jo'ash  the  king  of  Is'- 
ra-el  took  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah,  the  son  of  Jo'ash,  the 
son  of  Jg-hS'a-haz,  at  B£th-shr-

gate  of  £'phra-im  to  the  corner

24  And  he  took  all  the  gold

Utsiah  succeeds  Amaeiah,  and

and  engines  of  tear:  16  he  invades 
the  priest's  office,  and  is  smitten 
with  leprosy :  22  his  death,  etc 

THEN  all  the  people  of  Ju'- 
dah took  ttz-zfah,  who  was 
sixteen  years  old,  and  made 
him  king  in  the  room  of  his 
father  Am-a-zTah. 

2  He  built  Bltth,  and  restored 
it  to  Ju'dah,  after  that  the  king 
slept  with  his  fathers. 

3  Sixteen  years  old  was  ftz- 
zi'ah  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  fifty  and  two 
years  in  J£-ru's£-l€m.  His  moth- 
er's name  also  was  Jec-o-li'ah  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

4  And  he  did  that  which  was 
right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  his  father 
Ara-a-zi'ah  did. 

5  And  he  sought  God  in  the 
days  of  Zech-a-rTah,  who  had 
understanding  in  the  visions  of 
Uod:  and  as  long  as  he  sought 
the  Lord,  God  made  him  to 
prosper. 

6  And  he  went  forth  and 
warred  against  the  PhMIs'tinea, 
and  brake  down  the  wall  of 
Gfith,  and  the  wall  of  Jfib'neh, 
and  the  wall  of  Ash'ddd,  and 
built  cities  about  Ash'ddd,  and 
among  the  PhMIs'tinea. 

7  And  God  helped  him  against 


the  Phi-lls'tines,  and  against  the 
A-ralri-ans  that  dwelt  in  Gfir 
b&'al,  and  the  Me-hu'nims. 

8  And  the  Am'mon-ites  gave 
gifts  to  Cz-zi'ah :  and  his  name 
spread  abroad  even  to  the  en- 
tering in  of  E'&jrpt;  for  he 
strengthened  himself  exceed- 
ingly. 

9  Moreover  Cz-zi'ah  built  tow- 
ers in  J&ru'sa4em  at  the  corner 
gate,  and  at  the  valley  gate,  and 
at  the  turning  of  the  wall,  and 
fortified  them. 

10  Also  he  built  towers  in  the 
desert,  and  digged  many  wells 
for  he  had  much  cattle,  both  in 
the  low  countrv,  and  in  the 
plains:  husbandmen  also,  and 
vine  dressers  in  the  mountains, 
and  in  Car'mel:  for  he  loved 
husbandry. 

11  IF  Moreover  Ci-zi'ah  had  an 
host  of  fighting  men,  that  went 
out  to  war  by  bands,  according 
to  the  number  of  their  account 
by  the  hand  of  Je-i'el  the  scribe 
and  Ma-a-eS'iah  the  ruler,  under 
the  hand  of  H&n-a-nf ah,  one  of 
the  king's  captains. 

12  The  whole  number  of  the 
chief  of  the  fathers  of  the 
mighty  men  of  valour  were 
two  thousand  and  six  hundred. 

13  And  under  their  hand  was 
an  army,  three  hundred  thou- 
sand and  seven  thousand  and 
five  hundred,  that  made  war 
with  mighty  power,  to  help  the 
king  against  the  enemy. 

14  And  ttz-6i'ah  prepared  for 
them  throughout  all  the  host 
shields,  and  spears,  and  hel- 
mets, and  habergeons,  and  bows, 
and  slings  to  cast  stones. 

13  And  he  made  in  Je-ru'sa- 
lem  engines,  invented  by  cun- 
ning men,  to  be  on  the  towers 
and  upon  the  bulwarks,  to  shoot 
arrows  and  great  stones  with- 
al. And  his  name  spread  far 
abroad ;  for  he  was  marvellous- 
ly helped,  till  he  was  strong, 

16  K  But  when  he  was  strong, 
his  heart  was  lifted  up  to  his 
destruction :  for  he  transgressed 
against  the  Lord  his  God,  and 
went  into  the  temple  of  the 
Lord  to  burn  incense  upon  the 
altar  of  incense. 

17  And  Az-a-ri'ah  the  priest 
went  in  after  him,  and  with 
him  fourscore  priests  of  the 
Lord,  that  were  valiant  men : 

18  And  they  withstood  Cz-zi'- 
ah  the  king,  and  said  unto  him, 
It  appertaineth  not  unto  thee, 
Oz-zi'ah,  to  burn  incense  unto 
the  Lord,  but  to  the  priests  the 
sons  of  A&r'on,  that  are  conse- 
crated to  burn  incense:  go  out

of  the  sanctuary ;  for  thou  hast 
trespassed ;  neither  shall  it  be 
for  thine  honour  from  the  Lord 
God. 

19  Then  Oz-ri'ah  was  wroth, 
and  had  a  censer  in  his  hand 
to  burn  incense:  and  while  he 
was  wroth  with  the  priests,  the 
leprosy  even  rose  up  in  his  fore- 
head before  the  priests  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  from  beside 
the  incense  altar. 

20  And  Az-a-ri'ah  the  chief 
priest,  and  all  the  priests,  looked 
upon  him,  and,  behold,  he  was 
leprous  in  his  forehead,  and  they 
thrust  him  out  from  thence; 
yea,  himself  hasted  also  to  go 
out,  because  the  Lord  had  smit- 
ten him. 

21  And  ttwi'ah  the  king  was 
a  leper  unto  the  day  of  his 
death,  and  dwelt  in  a  several 
house,  being  a  leper;  for  he 
was  cut  off  from  the  house  of 
the  Lord  :  and  JQ'tham  his  son 
was  over  the  king's  house,  judg- 
ing the  people  of  the  land. 

22  IT  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  Cz-ri'ah,  first  and  last,  did 
I-ga'iah  the  prophet,  the  son  of 
A'mdz,  write. 

23  So  0**i'ah  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  they  buried  him 
with  his  fathers  in  the  field  of 
the  burial  which  belonged  to 
the  kings ;  for  they  said,  He  is 
a  leper:  and  JO'tham  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  27 
Jotham,  'reigning  well,  prospers: 
he  subdues  the  Ammonites:  7  hie 
reign  and  death.    9  Aha*  succeeds 
him. 

JOTHAM  was  twenty  and 
five  years  old  when  he  be- 
gan to  reign,  and  he  reigned 
sixteen  years  in  Je>ru'sa-16m. 
His  mother's  name  also  was  JS- 
ru'shah,  the  daughter  of  ZS'ddk. 

2  And  he  did  mat  which  was 
right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  his  father 
Cz-zfah  did:  howbeit  he  entered 
not  into  the  temple  of  the  Lord. 
And  thepeople  did  yet  corruptly. 

3  He  built  the  high  gate  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  on  the 
wall  of  O'phel  he  built  much. 

4  Moreover  he  built  cities  in 
the  mountains  of  Ju'dah,  and  in 
the  forests  he  built  castles  and 
towers. 

5  He  fought  also  with  the  king 
of  the  Am'mon-ites,  and  pre- 


did  the  children  of  Am'mSn  pay 
unto  him,  both  the  second  year, 
and  the  third. 

6  So  JO'tham  became  mighty, 
because  he  prepared  his  ways 
before  the  Lord  his  God. 

7  ITNowthe  rest  of  the  acts  of 
JO'tham,  and  all  his  wars,  and 
his  ways,  lo,  they  are  written  in 
the  book  of  the  kings  of  Is/ra-el 
and  Ja'dah. 

8  He  was  five  and  twenty  years 
old  when  he  began  to  reign,  and 
reigned  sixteen  years  in  J5-ru'- 
sa-lSm. 

9  And  JO'tham  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  they  buried  him  in 
the  city  of  DS'vid:  and  ATifiz 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  29 

Aha*,  reigning  wickedly,  is  afflicted 
by  the  Syrians:  22  his  idolatry  in 
his  distress  :  26  he  dying,  Hexekiah 
succeed*  him. 

AHAZ  was  twenty  years  old 
when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  sixteen  years  in 
JS-ru'sa-lem :  but  he  did  not  that 
which  was  right  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord,  likeDfi'vid  his  father 

2  For  he  walked  in  the  ways 
of  the  kings  of  Is/ra-el,  and  made 
also  molten  images  for  Bi'al-Im. 

3  Moreover  he  burnt  incense  in 
the  valley  of  the  son  of  Hm'nom, 
and  burnt  his  children  in  the 
fire,  after  the  abominations  of 
the  heathen  whom  the  Lord  had 
cast  out  before  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el. 

4  He  sacrificed  also  and  burnt 
incense  in  the  high  places,  and 
on  the  hills,  and  under  every 
green  tree. 

5  Wherefore  the  Lord  his  God 
delivered  him  into  the  hand  of 
the  king  of  Sjrrl-a;  and  they 
smote  him,  and  carried  away 
a  great  multitude  of  them 
captives,  and  brought  them  to 
Da-m&s'cus.  And  he  was  also 
delivered  into  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  Is/ra-el,  who  smote  him 
with  a  great  slaughter. 

6  For  Prkah  the  son  of  R6m 
a-lf'ah  slew  in  Jfi'dah  an  hundred 
and  twenty  thousand  in  one  day, 
which  were  all  valiant  men; 
because  they  had  forsaken  the 
Lord  God  of  their  fathers. 

7  And  Zlch'ri,  a  mighty  man 
of  Cphrfi-Im,  slew  Mfi-a-sS'iah 
the  king's  son,  and  Az'rl-kfim  the 
governor  of  the  house,  and  £1'- 
kfi-nah  that  was  next  to  the

them,  and  brought  the  spoil  to 
SSrmfl'rlft. 

9  Bat  a  prophet  of  the  Lord 
ras  there,  whose   name  wae 

O'ded:  and  he  went  out  before 
the  host  that  came  to  Sa-mfi'rI-a, 
and  said  unto  them,  Behold,  be- 
ose  the  Lord  God  of  vour 
fathers  was  wroth  with  Ja  dan, 
he  hath  delivered  them  into 
your  hand,  and  ye  have  slain 
them  in  a  rage  that  reacheth  up 
unto  heaven. 

10  And  nowye  purpose  to  keep 
under  the  children  of  Ju'dah  and 
Jfrru'sfi-lem  for  bondmen  and 
bondwomen  unto  you :  but  are 
there  not  with  you,  even  with 
you,  sins  against  the  Lord  your 
God? 

11  Now  hear  me  therefore, 
and  deliver  the  captives  again, 
which  ye  have  taken  captive  of 
your  brethren:  for  the  fierce 
wrath  of  the  Lord  is  upon  you. 

12  Then  certain  of  the  heads 
of  the  children  of  E'phriHm, 
A*-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  J&hi'nan, 
Ber-e-chi'ah  the  son  of  MS-shil'- 
le-ra6th,  and  J€-hIz-ki'ah  the  son 
of  Shfilium,  and  Am'a-sa  the  son 
of  HSdla-i,  stood  up  against 
them  that  came  from  the  war, 

13  And  said  unto  them.  Ye 
shall  not  bring  in  the  captives 
hither:  for  whereas  we  have 
offended  against  the  Lord  al- 
ready, ye  intend  to  add  more 
to  our  sins  and  to  our  trespass : 
for  our  trespass  is  great,  and 
there  is  fierce  wrath  against 
Il'ra-eL 

14  So  the  armed  men  left  the 
captives  and  the  spoil  before  the 
pnncesand  all  the  congregation. 

15  And  the  men  which  were 
expressed  by  name  rose  up,  and 
took  the  captives,  and  with  the 
spoil  clothed  all  that  were  naked 
among  them,  and  arrayed  them, 
and  shod  them,  and  gave  them 
to  eat  and  to  drink,  and  anointed 
them,  and  carried  all  the  feeble 
of  them  upon  asses,  and  brought 
them  to  Jerl-chO,  the  city  of 
palm  trees,  to  their  brethren : 
then  they  returned  to  S5-ma'ri-a. 

16  t  At  that  time  did  king 
Alias  send  unto  the  kings  of 
As-eyrl-a  to  help  him. 

17  For  again  the  EMom-ites 
had  come  and  smitten  JG'dah, 
and  carried  away  captives. 

18  The  Phi-Hs/tfnes.  also  had 
invaded  the  cities  of  the  low 
country,  and  of  the  south  of 
Ju'dah,  and  had  taken  B£th- 
shC'mesh,  and  Aj'a-ldn,  and  G€- 
de'roth,  and  Shd'chfl  with  the 
villages  thereof,  and  Tim'nah 
with  the  villages  thereof ,  Olm'za 


also  and  the  villages  thereof: 
and  they  dwelt  there. 

19  For  the  Lord  brought  Ju'- 
dah low  because  of  Alias  king 
of  ls'ra-el;  for  he  made  JU'dah 
naked,  and  transgressed  sore 
against  the  Lord. 

20  And  Til'gath^n-ne'ser  king 
of  As-sfrl-a  came  unto  him,  and 
distressed  him,  but  strength- 
ened him  not. 

21  For  A'haz  took  away  a  por- 
tion out  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  out  of  the  house  of 
the  king,  and  of  the  princes, 
and  gave  it  unto  the  king  of 
As-sjfrl-a:  but  he  helped  him 
not. 

22  And  in  the  time  of  his  dis- 
tress did  he  trespass  yet  more 
against  the  Lord:  this  is  that 
king  Alias. 

23  For  he  sacrificed  unto  the 
gods  of  D&mas'cus,  which  smote 
him :  and  he  said,  Because  the 
gods  of  the  kings  of  Syrl-a  help 
them,  therefore  will  I  sacrifice 
to  them,  that  they  may  help  me. 
But  they  were  the  ran  of  him, 
and  of  all  ls/ra-eL 

24  And  Alias  gathered  to- 
gether the  vessels  of  the  house 
of  God,  and  cut  in  pieces  the 
vessels  of  the  house  of  God,  and 
shut  up  the  doors  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  he  made  him 
altars  in  every  corner  of  Je-ru'« 
sft-lem. 

25  And  in  every  several  city 
of  Ju'dah  he  made  high  places 
to  burn  incense  unto  other  gods, 
and  provoked  to  anger  the  Lord 
God  of  his  fathers. 

26  H  Now  the  rest  of  his  acts 
and  of  all  his  ways,  first  and 
last,  behold,  they  are  written  in 
the  book  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah 
and  ls'ra-el. 

27  And  A'haz  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  they  buried  him  in 
the  city,  even  in  Je-ru'a§-lem : 
but  they  brought  him  not  into 
the  sepulchres  of  the  kings  of 
Ig'ra-el :  and  He*e-ki'ah  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead.

reign,  in  the  first  month,  opened 
the  doors  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  repaired  them. 

4  And  he  brought  in  the 
priests  and  the  Le'vites,  and 
gathered  them  together  into 
the  east  street, 

5  And  said  unto  them,  Hear 
me,  ye  LS'vites,  sanctify  now 
yourselves,  and  sanctify  the 
house  of  the  Lord  God  of  your 
fathers,  and  carry  forth  the 
filthiness  out  of  the  holy  place. 

6  For  our  fathers  have  tres- 
passed, and  done  that  which 
was  evil  in  the  eves  of  the 
Lord  our  God,  and  have  for- 
saken him,  and  have  turned 
away  their  faces  from  the  habi- 
tation of  the  Lord,  and  turned 
their  backs. 

7  Also  they  have  shut  up  the 
doors  of  the  porch,  and  put  out 
the  lamps,  and  have  not  burned 
incense  nor  offered  burnt  offer- 
ings in  the  holy  place  unto  the 
God  of  Is/ra-el. 

8  Wherefore  the  wrath  of  the 
Lord  was  upon  Ju'dah  and  J8- 
ru's£-l£m,  and  he  hath  delivered 
them  to  trouble,  to  astonish- 
ment, and  to  hissing,  as  ye  see 
with  your  eyes. 

9  For,  lo,  our  fathers  have 
fallen  by  the  sword,  and  our 
sons  and  our  daughters  and  our 
wives  are  in  captivity  for  this. 

10  Now  it  is  in  mine  heart  to 
make  a  covenant  with  the  Lord 
God  of  Ig'ra-el,  that  his  fierce 
wrath  may  turn  away  from  us. 

11  My  sons,  be  not  now  negli- 
gent :  for  the  Lord  hath  chosen 
you  to  stand  before  him,  to 
serve  him,  and  that  ye  should 
minister  unto  him,  and  burn 
incense. 

12  IF  Then  the  Le"vites  arose, 
MThfith  the  son  of  A-maVa-!, 
and  Jd'el  the  son  of  Az-a-ri'ah, 
of  the  sons  of  the  Kd'hath-Ites : 
and  of  the  sons  of  MS-rS'ri, 
hash  the  son  of  Ab'dl,  and  Az-a- 
ri'ah  the  son  of  JS-haTe-lel : 
and  of  the  Gefshon-ites;  Jo'ah 
the  son  of  Zun'mah,  and  B'den 
the  son  of  Jd'ah : 

13  And  of  the  sons  of  fi-liz'a- 
phSn;  Shim'ri,  and  J£-i'el:  and 
of  the  sons  of  A'saph;  Zech-a- 
ri'ah,  and  M&t-ta-ni'ah : 

14  And  of  the  sons  of  He'man ; 
Je-hi'el,  and  Shim'e-i:  and  of 
the  sons  of  Jgd'u-thun;  Sh&n- 
a~i'ah,  and  ftz'zl-el. 

15  And  they  gathered  their 
brethren,  and  sanctified  them- 
selves, and  came,  according  to 
the  commandment  of  the  king, 
by  the  words  of  the  Lord,  to 
cleanse  the  house  of  the  Lord. 


16  And  the  priests  went  into 
the  inner  part  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  to  cleanse  itf  and 
brought  out  all  the  uncleanness 
that  they  found  in  the  temple 
of  the  Lord  into  the  court  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord.  And 
the  LeVites  took  it,  to  carry  it 
out  abroad  into  the  brook  Kld'- 
ron. 

17  Now  they  began  on  the 
first  day  of  the  first  month  to 
sanctify,  and  on  the  eighth  day 
of  the  month  came  they  to  the 
porch  of  the  Lord:  so  they 
sanctified  the  house  of  the 
Lord  in  eight  days ;  and  in  the 
sixteenth  day  of  the  first  month 
they  made  an  end. 

18  Then  they  went  in  to  H&b- 
e-ki'ah  the  king,  and  said,  We 
have  cleansed  all  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  altar  of  burnt 
offering,  with  all  the  vessels 
thereof,  and  the  shewbread  ta- 
ble, with  all  the  vessels  there- 
of. 

19  Moreover  all  the  vessels, 
which  king  ATiaz  in  his  reign 
did  cast  away  in  his  transgres- 
sion, have  we  prepared  and 
sanctified,  and,  behold,  they 
are  before  the  altar  of  the 
Lord. 

20  IFThen  He&e-ki'ah  the  king 
rose  early,  and  gathered  the 
rulers  of  the  city,  and  went  up 
to  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

21  And  they  brought  seven 
bullocks,  and  seven  rams,  and 
seven  lambs,  and  seven  he 
goats,  for  a  sin  offering  for  the 
kingdom,  and  for  the  sanctuary, 
and  for  Ju'dah.  And  he  com- 
manded the  priests  the  sons  of 
Aar'on  to  offer  them  on  the 
altar  of  the  Lord. 

22  So  they  killed  the  bullocks, 
and  the  priests  received  the 
blood,  and  sprinkled  it  on  the 
altar :  likewise,  when  they  had 
killed  the  rams,  they  sprinkled 
the  blood  upon  the  altar:  they 
killed  also  the  lambs,  and  they 
sprinkled  the  blood  upon  the 
altar. 

23  And  they  brought  forth 
the  he  goats  for  the  sin  offer- 
ing before  the  king  and  the 
congregation;  and  they  laid 
their  hands  upon  them : 

24  And  the  priests  killed  them, 
and  they  made  reconciliation 
with  their  blood  upon  the  altar, 
to  make  an  atonement  for  all 
Is/ra-el :  for  the  king  command- 
ed that  the  burnt  offering  and 
the  sin  offering  should  be  made 
for  all  Is/ra-el. 

25  And  he  set  the  LTvites  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord  with

cymbals,  with  psalteries,  and 
with  harps,  according  to  the 
commandment  of  D&'vid,  and 
of  Gfid  the  king's  seer,  and  Nfi'- 
than  the  prophet:  for  so  was 
the  commandment  of  the  Lord 
by  his  prophets. 
.  26  And  the  LTvites  stood  with 
the  instruments  of  D&'vid,  and 
the  priests  with  the  trumpets. 

27  And  Hes-e-ki'ah  command- 
ed to  offer  the  burnt  offering 
upon  the  altar.  And  when  the 
burnt  offering  began,  the  song 
of  the  Lord  began  also  with 
the  trumpets,  and  with  the  in- 
struments ordained  by  D&'vid 
king  of  Is/ra-el. 

28  And  all  the  congregation 
worshipped,  and  the  singers 
sang,  and  the  trumpeters  sound- 
ed: and  all  this  continued  un- 
til the  burnt  offering  was  fin- 
ished. 

29  And  when  they  had  made 
an  end  of  offering,  the  king  and 
all  that  were  present  with  him 
bowed  themselves,  and  wor- 
shipped. 

30  Moreover  HB&e-ki'ah  the 
king  and  the  princes  command- 
ed the  Le'vites  to  sing  praise 
unto  the  Lord  with  the  words 
of  Da'vid,  and  of  A'saph  the 
seer.  And  they  sang  praises 
with  gladness,  and  they  bowed 
their  heads  and  worshipped. 

31  Then  Hez-e-ki'ah  answered 
and  said,  Now  ye  have  conse- 
crated yourselves  unto  the  Lord, 
come  near  and  bring  sacrifices 
and  thank  offerings  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord.  And  the 
congregation  brought  in  sacri- 
fices and  thank  offerings;  and 
as  many  as  were  of  a  free  heart 
burnt  offerings. 

32  And  the  number  of  the 
burnt  offerings,  which  the  con- 
gregation brought,  was  three- 
score and  ten  bullocks,  an 
hundred  rams,  and  two  hun- 
dred lambs :  all  these  were  for 
a  burnt  offering  to  the  Lord. 

33  And  the  consecrated  things 
were  six  hundred  oxen  and 
three  thousand  sheep. 

34  But  the  priests  were  too 
few,  so  that  they  could  not  flay 
all  the  burnt  offerings :  where- 
fore their  brethren  the  Le'vites 
did  help  them,  till  the  work 
was  ended,  and  until  the  other 
priests  had  sanctified  them- 
selves: for  the  Le'vites  were 
more  upright  in  heart  to  sancti- 
fy themselves  than  the  priests. 

35  And  also  the  burnt  offer- 
ings were  in  abundance,  with 
the  fat  of  the  peace  offerings, 
an*  the  drink  offerings  for  ev- 


ery burnt  off  ering.  So  the 
ice  of  the  house  of  the  Lord 
was  set  in  order. 
36  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  rejoiced, 
and  all  the  people,  that  God  had 
prepared  the  people:  for  the 
thing  was  done  suddenly. 

CHAPTER  30 

Hezekiah  proclaims  a  passover.  13 
The  assembly  destroy  the  altars  of 
idolatry.. 

AND  He*e~ki'ah  sent  to  all 
Is/ra-el  and  Jfl'dah,  and 
wrote  letters  also  to  Cphrft-Im 
and  Ma-nas'seh,  that  thev  should 
come  to  the  house  of  the  Lord 
at  J&ru/sfi-lem,  to  keep  the  pass- 
over  unto  the  Lord  God  of  ls> 
ra-el. 

2  For   the  king   had    taken 
counsel,  and  his  princes,  and 
all  the  congregation  in  JC-ru 
sfi-lem,  to  keep  the  passover  in 
the  second  month. 

3  For  they  could  not  keep  it 
at  that  time,  because  the  priests 
had  not  sanctified  themselves 
sufficiently,  neither  had  the 
people  gathered  themselves  to- 
gether to  JeVru'sft-lem. 

4  And  the  thing  pleased  the 
king  and  all  the  congregation. 

5  So  they  established  a  decree 
to  make  proclamation  through- 
out  all  la  ra-el,  from  Be"er~shc'- 
ba  even  to  Dan,  that  they  should 
come  to  keep  the  passover  unto 
the  Lord  God  of  Is/ra-el  at  Je- 
ru/saMSm:  for  they  had  not 
done  it  of  a  long  time  in  such 
sort  as  it  was  written. 

6  So  the  posts  went  with  the 
letters  from  the  king  and  his 
princes  throughout  all  ls/ra-el 
and  Ju'dah,  and  according  to 
the  commandment  of  the  king, 
saying,  Ye  children  of  Is/ra-el, 
turn  again  unto  the  Lord  God 
of  Al>rft-hftm,  I'saac,  and  Is/ra- 
el,  and  he  will  return  to  the 
remnant  of  you,  that  are  es- 
caped out  of  the  hand  of  the 
kings  of  As-syrf-a. 

7  And  be  not  ye  like  your  fa- 
thers, and  like  your  brethren, 
which  trespassed  against  the 
Lord  God  of  their  fathers,  who 
therefore  gave  them  up  to  deso- 
lation, as  ye  see. 

8  Now  be  ye  not  stiffnecked, 
as  your  fathers  were,  but  yield 
yourselves  unto  the  Lord,  and 
enter  into  his  sanctuary,  which 
he  hath  sanctified  for  ever:  and 
serve  the  Lord  your  God,  that 
the  fierceness  of  his  wrath  may 
turn  away  from  you. 

9  For  if  ye  turn  again  unto 
the  Lord,  your  brethren  and 
your  children  shall  find  com- 
passion before  them  that  lead

them  captive,  so  that  they  shall 
come  again  into  this  land:  for 
the  Lord  your  God  is  gracious 
and  merciful,  and  will  not  turn 
away  his  face  from  you,  if  ye 
return,  unto  him. 

10  So  the  posts  passed  from 
city  to  city  through  the  coun- 
try of  E'phra-Im  and  Mfi-n&s'- 
sen  even  unto  Z£b'u-lun:  hut 
they  laughed  them  to  scorn, 
and  mocked  them. 

11  Nevertheless  divers  of  Ash' 
e*r  and  Mfi-nfts'seh  and  of  ZeV- 
u-lun  humbled  themselves,  and 
came  to  JS-ru'sa-lem. 

12  Also  in  Jfi'dah  the  hand  of 
God  was  to  give  them  one  heart 
to  do  the  commandment  of  the 
king  and  of  the  princes,  by  the 
word  of  the  Lord. 

13  If  And  there  assembled  at 
Jg-ru/sfi-lem  much  people  to 
keep  the  feast  of  unleavened 
bread  in  the  second  month,  a 
very  great  congregation. 

14  And  they  arose  and  took 
away,  the  altars  that  were  in 
J€-rn'sS4em,  and  all  the  altars 
for  incense  took  they  away,  and 
cast  them  into  the  brook  Kid'' 
ron. 

15  Then  they  killed  the  pass- 
over  on  the  fourteenth  day  of 
the  second  month:  and  the 
priests  and  the  LS'vites  were 
ashamed,  and  sanctified  them 
selves,  and  brought  in  the  burnt 
offerings  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord. 

16  And  they  stood  in  their 
place  after  their  manner,  ac 
cording  to  the  law  of  MQ'seg 
the  man  of  God:  the  priests 
sprinkled  the  blood,  which  they 
received  of  the  hand  of  the  LS'- 
vltes. 

17  For  there  were  many  in 
the  congregation  that  were  not 
sanctified:  therefore  the  LS'- 
vltes had  the  charge  of  the  kill- 
ing of  the  passovers  for  every 
one  that  was  not  clean,  to  sanc- 
tify them  unto  the  Lord. 

18  For  a  multitude  of  the  peo- 
ple, even  many  of  ffphrS-im, 
and  Ma-nSs'seh,  Is'sa-char,  and 
ZSb'u-lun,  had  not  cleansed 
themselves,  yet  did  they  eat 
the  passover  otherwise  than  it 
was  written.  But  Hez-e-ki'ah 
prayed  for  them,  saying,  The 
good  Lord  pardon  every  one 

19  That  prepareth  his  heart 
to  seek  God,  the  Lord  God  of 
his  fathers,  though  he  be  not 
cleansed  according  to  the  puri- 
fication of  the  sanctuary. 

20  And  the  Lord  hearkened 
to  HSz-e-ki'ah,  and  healed  the 
people. 


21  And  the  children  of  la'ra-el 
that  were  present  at  JS-ru'saV 
lSm,  kept  the  feast  of  unleav- 
ened bread  seven  days  with 
great  gladness:  and  the  LS'- 
vltes and  the  priests  praised  the 
Lord  day  by  day,  singing  with 
loud  instruments  unto  the  Lord. 

22  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  spake  com- 
fortably unto  all  the  LS'vites 
that  taught  the  good  knowledge 
of  the  Lord:  and  they  did 
eat  throughout  the  feast  seven 
days,  offering  peace  offerings, 
and  making  confession  to  the 
Lord  God  of  their  fathers. 

23  And  the  whole  assembly 
took  counsel  to  keep  other  seven 
days :  and  they  kept  other  seven 
days  with  gladness. 

24  For  He*e-ki'ah  king  of  Jfl'- 
dah  did  give  to  the  congregation 
a  thousand  bullocks  and  seven 
thousand  sheep;  and  the  princes 
gave  to  the  congregation  a 
thousand  bullocks  and  ten  thou- 
sand sheep :  and  a  great  number 
ofpriests  sanctified  themselves. 

25  And  all  the  congregation 
of  Ju'dah,  with  the  priests  and 
the  LS'vites,  and  all  the  congre- 
gation that  came  out  of  Is/ra-el, 
and  the  strangers  that  came  out 
of  the  land  of  ls/ra-el,  and  that 
dwelt  in  Jfl'dah,  rejoiced. 

26  So  there  was  great  joy  in 
Jg-ru'sfi-lem :  for  since  the  time 
of  SoTo-mon  the  son  of  DS'vid 
king  of  Is/ra-el  there  was  not 
the  like  in  Je-ru'sfi-lem. 

27  Then  the  priests  the  LS'- 
vites arose  and  messed  the  peo- 
ple: and  their  voice  was  heard, 
and  their  prayer  came  up  to  his 
holy  dwelling  place,  even  unto 
heaven. 

CHAPTER  31 

The  people  forward  in  destroying 

idolatry.     11   Hexekiah   appoint* 

officers  to  dispose  of  the  tithes:  20 

his  sincerity  of  heart 

NOW  when  all  this  was  fin- 
ished, all  Is/ra-el  that  were 
present  went  out  to  the  cities  of 
Ju'dah,  and  brake  the  images 
in  pieces,  and  cut  down  the 
groves,  and  threw  down  the 
high  places  and  the  altars  out 
of  all  Ju'dah  and  BSn'ja-min,  in 
E'phrfi-im  also  and  Mft-nas'seh, 
until  they  had  utterly  destroyed 
them  all.  Then  all  the  children 
of  ls/ra-el  returned,  every  man

3  He  appointed  also  the  king's 
portion  of  his  substance  for  the 
burnt  offerings,  to  wit,  for  the 
morning  and  evening  burnt  of- 
ferings, and  the  burnt  offerings 
for  the  sabbaths,  and  for  the 
new  moons,  and  for  the  set 
feasts,  aa  it  is  written  in  the 
law  of  the  Lord. 

4  Moreover  he  commanded  the 
people  that  dwelt  in  JS-ru's&- 
lem  to  give  the  portion  of  the 
priests  and  the  Le'vites,  that 
they  might  be  encouraged  in 
the  law  of  the  Lord. 

5  And  as  soon  as  the  com- 
mandment came  abroad,  the 
children  of  Is/ra-el  brought  in 
abundance  the  firstfruits  of 
corn,  wine,  and  oil,  and  honey, 
and  of  all  the  increase  of  the 
field ;  and  the  tithe  of  all  things 
brought  they  in  abundantly. 

6  And  concerning  the  children 
of  ls'ra-el  and  Ju'dah,  that  dwelt 
in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  they  also 
brought  in  the  tithe  of  oxen  and 
sheep,  and  the  tithe  of  holy 
things  which  were  consecrated 
unto  the  Lord  their  God,  and 
laid  them  by  heaps. 

7  In  the  third  month  they  be- 
gan to  lay  the  foundation  of  the 
heaps,  and  finished  them  in  the 
seventh  month. 

8  And  when  Hez-e-ki'ah  and 
the  princes  came  and  saw  the 
heaps,  they  blessed  the  Lord, 
and  his  people  ls/ra-eL 

9  Then  Hes-e-ki'ah  questioned 
with  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites 
concerning  the  heaps. 

10  And  Az-a-ri'ah  the  chief 
priest  of  the  house  of  Za"d5k 
answered  him,  and  said,  Since 
the  people  began  to  bring  the 
offerings  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  we  have  had  enough  to 
eat,  and  have  left  plenty :  for 
the  Lord  hath  blessed  his  peo- 
ple; and  that  which  is  left  is 
this  great  store. 

11  1  Then  Hez-e-kTah  com- 
manded to  prepare  chambers 
in  the  house  of  the  LoRtf;  and 
they  prepared  them, 

12  And  brought  in  the  offer- 
ings and  the  tithes  and  the  ded- 
icated things  faithfully:  over 
which  C5n-o-ni'ah  the  Le'vite 
was  ruler,  and  Shim'e-i  his 
brother  was  the  next 

13  And  J  Wei,  and  Aawwfah, 
and  Nalifith,  and  A'sa-h£l,  and 
J&l-rofith,  and  JoVa-bSd,  and 
£4i'el,  and  Is-ma*chi'ah,  and 
fctfi'hath,  and  Bfr-n&'iah,  were 
overseers  under  the  hand  of 
Con-o-ni'ah    and  Shim'e-i   his 


brother,  at  the  commandment 
of  Hez-e-ki'ah  the  king,  and  Ax- 
a-ri'ah  the  ruler  of  the  house 
of  God. 

14  And  Kfi're*  the  son  of  Im 
nah  the  Le'vite,  the  porter  to- 
ward the  east,  was  over  the  free- 
will offerings  of  God,  to  distrib- 
ute the  oblations  of  the  Lord, 
and  the  most  holy  things. 

15  And  next  him  were  E'den, 
and  Mlnl-a-mln,  and  Jesh'u-a, 
and  Shem-a-i'ah,  Am-a-ri'ah,  and 
Shec-a-ni'ah,  in  the  cities  of  the 
priests,  in  their  set  office,  to  give 
to  their  brethren  by  courses,  as 
well  to  the  great  as  to  the  small 

16  Beside  their  genealogy  of 
males,  from  three  years  old  and 
upward,  even  unto  every  one 
that  entereth  into  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  his  daily  portion  for 
their  service  in  their  charges 
according  to  their  courses; 

17  Both  to  the  genealogy  of 
the  priests  by  the  house  of  their 
fathers,  and  the  Le'vites  from 
twenty  years  old  and  upward,  in 
their  charges  by  their  courses ; 

18  And  to  the  genealogy  of  all 
their  little  ones,  their  wives,  and 
their  sons,  and  their  daughters, 
through  all  the  congregation: 
for  in  their  set  office  they  sanc- 
tified themselves  in  holiness: 

19  Also  of  the  sons  of  Afirtra 
the  priests,  which  were  in  the 
fields  of  the  suburbs  of  their 
cities,  in  every  several  city,  the 
men  that  were  expressed  by 
name,  to  give  portions  to  all  the 
males  among  the  priests,  and  to 
all  that  were  reckoned  by  gene- 
alogies among  the  Le'vites. 

20  IT  And  thus  did  Hez-e-kf- 
ah  throughout  all  Ju'dah,  and 
wrought  that  which  was  good 
and  right  and  truth  before  the 
Lord  his  God. 

21  And  in  every  work  that  he 
began  in  the  service  of  the  house 
of  God,  and  in  the  law,  and  in  the 
commandments,  to  seek  his  God, 
he  did  it  with  all  his  heart,  and 
prospered.

3  He  took  counsel  with  his 
princes  and  his  mighty  men  to 
stop  the  waters  of  the  fountains 
which  were  without  the  city: 
and  they  did  help  him. 

4  So  there  was  gathered  much 
people  together,  who  stopped  all 
the  fountains,  and  the  brook 
that  ran  through  the  midst  of 
the  land,  saying,  Why  should 
the  kings  of  As-syrf-a  come, 
and  find  much  water? 

5  Also  he  strengthened  him- 
self, and  built  up  all  the  wall 
that  was  broken,  and  raised  it 
up  to  the  towers,  and  another 
wall  without,  and  repaired  Mills 
in  the  city  of  Dfi'vid,  and  made 
darts  and  shields  in  abundance. 

6  And  he  set  captains  of  war 
over  the  people,  and  gathered 
them  together  to  him  in  the 
street  of  the  gate  of  the  city, 
and  spake  comfortably  to  them, 
saying, 

7  Be  strong  and  courageous, 
be  not  afraid  nor  dismayed  for 
the  king  of  As-syrl-a,  nor  for 
all  the  multitude  that  is  with 
him :  for  there  be  more  with  us 
than  with  him : 

8  With  him  is  an  arm  of  flesh ; 
but  with  us  is  the  Lord  our  God 
to  help  us,  and  to  fight  our  bat- 
tles. And  the  people  rested 
themselves  upon  the  words  of 
Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah. 

9  %  After  this  did  Sen-nach'- 
e-rib  king  of  As-s^rt-a  send  his 
servants  to  J&ru'sS-lSm,  (but 
he  himself  laid  siege  against 
L&'chish,  and  all  his  power  with 
him,)  unto  Hfa-e-ki  ah  king  of 
Ju'dah,  and  unto  all  Ju'dah  that 
were  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  saying, 

10  Thus  saith  Sen-nachVrih 
king  of  A»«yrl-a,  Whereon  do 
ye  trust,  that  ye  abide  in  the 
siege  in  Je-ru'sa-lgm  ? 

11  Doth  not  Hez-e-ki'ah  per- 
suade you  to  give  over  your- 
selves to  die  by  famine  and  by 
thirst,  saying,  The  Lord  our 
God  shall  deliver  us  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  king  of  As-s^rl-a? 

12  Hath  not  tine  same  Hez-e- 
kt'ah  taken  away  his  high  places 
and  his  altars,  and  commanded 
Ju'dah  and  Jg-ru'sa-lem,  saying, 
Ye  shall  worship  before  one  al- 
tar, and  burn  incense  upon  it? 

13  Know  ye  not  what  I  and 
my  fathers  have  done  unto  all 
the  people  of  other  lands  ?  were 
the  gods  of  the  nations  of  those 
lands  any  ways  able  to  deliver 
their  lands  out  of  mine  hand  ? 

14  Who  was  there  among  all 
the  gods  of  those  nations  that 
my  fathers  utterly  destroyed, 
that  could  deliver  his  people 


out  of  mine  hand,  that  your 
God  should  be  able  to  deliver 
you  out  of  mine  hand  ? 

15  Now  therefore  let  not  Hes- 
e-ki'ah  deceive  you,  nor  per- 
suade you  on  this  manner, 
neither  yet  believe  him:  for 
no  god  of  any  nation  or  king- 
dom was  able  to  deliver  his 
people  out  of  mine  hand,  and 
out  of  the  hand  of  my  fathers: 
how  much  less  shall  your  God 
deliver  you  out  of  mine  hand? 

16  And  his  servants  spake  yet 
more  against  the  Lord  God, 
and  against  his  servant  HSz-e- 
ki'ah. 

17  He  wrote  also  letters  to 
rail  on  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  to  speak  against  him,  say- 
ing, As  tne  gods  of  the  nations 
of  other  lands  have  not  deliv- 
ered their  people  out  of  mine 
hand,  so  shall  not  the  God  of 
Hez-e-kf'ah  deliver  his  people 
out  of  mine  hand. 

18  Then  they  cried  with  a 
loud  voice  in  the  Jews'  speech 
unto  the  people  of  Je-ru'sa-lem 
that  were  on  the  wall,  to  af- 
fright them,  and  to  trouble 
them ;  that  they  might  take  the 
city. 

19  And  they  spake  against  the 
God  of  J&-ru'sfi-lem,  as  against 
the  gods  of  the  people  of  the 
earth,  which  were  the  work  of 
the  hands  of  roan. 

20  And  for  this  cause  H£z-e- 
ki'ah  the  king,  and  the  prophet 
I-SH'iah  the  son  of  A'mtiz,  prayed 
and  cried  to  heaven. 

21  And  the  Lord  sent  an  an- 
gel, which  cut  off  all  the  mighty 
men  of  valour,  and  the  leaders 
and  captains  in  the  camp  of  the 
king  of  As-syrl-a.  So  he  re- 
turned with  shame  of  face  to 
his  own  land.  And  when  he 
was  come  into  the  house  of  his 
god,  they  that  came  forth  of 
his  own  Dowels  slew  him  there 
with  the  sword. 

22  Thus  the  Lord  saved  Hez- 
e-ki'ah  and  the  inhabitants  of 
JS-ru'sS-iem  from  the  hand  of 
Sen-hlch'e>rlb  the  king  of  As- 
syrl-a,  and  from  the  hand  of 
all  other \  and  guided  them  on 
every  side. 

23  And  many  brought  gifts 
unto  the  Lord  to  Je^ru's&-fcni, 
and  presents  to  Hfa-e-ki'ah  king 
of  Ju'dah :  so  that  he  was  mag- 
nified  in  the  sight  of  all  na- 
tions from  thenceforth. 

24  ITIn  those  days  Hez-e-kTah 
was  sick  to  the  death,  and 
prayed  unto  the  Lord  :  and  he 
snake  unto  him,  and  he  gave 
him  a  sign.

25  Bat  H&-e-kTah  rendered 
not  again  according  to  the  ben- 
efit done  unto  him;  for  his 
heart  was  lifted  up:  therefore 
there  was  wrath  upon  him,  and 
upon  Ju'dah  and  Je^ru'sa-lem. 

26  Notwithstanding  Hfa-e-ki'- 
ah  humbled  himself  for  the 
pride  of  his  heart,  both  he  and 
the  inhabitants  of  JS-ru'sa-lem, 
so  that  the  wrath  of  the  Lord 
came  not  upon  them  in  the 
days  of  Hez-e-ki'ah. 

27  t  And  Hez-eJd'ah  had  ex- 
ceeding  much  riches  and  hon 

r :  and  he  made  himself  treas- 
uries for  stiver,  and  for  gold, 
and  for  precious  stones,  and  for

all  manner  of  pleasant  jewels;

crease of  corn,  and  wine,  and 
oil;  and  stalls  for  all  manner 
of  beasts,  and  cotes  for  flocks. 

29  Moreover  he  provided  him 
cities,  and  possessions  of  flocks 
and  herds  in  abundance:  for 
God  had  given  him  substance 
very  much. 

30  This  same  Hez-e-ki'ah  also 
stopped  the  upper  watercourse 
of  Gilion,  and  brought  it 
straight  down  to  the  west  side 
of  the  city  of  Dfi'vid.  And 
Hez-e-ki'ah  prospered  in  all  his 
works. 

31  Howbeit  in  the  business  of 
the  ambassadors  of  the  princes 
of  B&b'jMon,  who  sent  unto  him 
to  enquire  of  the  wonder  that 
was  done  in  the  land,.  God  left 
him,  to  try  him,  that  he  might 
know  all  that  was  in  his  heart 

32  tNow  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  Hez-e-ki'ah,  and  his  goodness, 
behold,  they  are  written  in  the 
vision  of  1-ai'iah  the  prophet, 
the  son  of  A'moz,  and  in  the 
book  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  and 
ls/ra-el. 

33  And  Hez-e-ki'ah*  slept  with 
his  fathers,  and  they  buried 
him  in  the  chiefest  of  the  sep- 
ulchres of  the  sons  of  Da' via: 
and  all  Ju'dah  and  the  inhab- 
itants of  J&*u's&>l£m  did  him 
honour  at  his  death.  And  Ma- 
nas'seh  his  son  reigned  in  his 
stead. 

CHAPTER  33 

ManasseWs  wicked  reign:  11  he  is 
carried  into  Babylon;  where  he 
humbles  himself  before  Goa\  and  ie 
restored  to  hie  kingdom ;  20  he  dies. 
Amon  succeeds  him:  2Aheis  slain 
by  his  servants.  25  Josiah  succeeds 
him. 

MA-NAS'SEH    was    twelve 
years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  he  reigned  fifty 
and  five  years  in  JS-ru'sa-lera : 
2  But  did  that  which  was  evil 


in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  likej 
unto  the  abominations  of  the 
heathen,  whom  the  Lord  had 
cast  out  before  the  children  of 
ls/ra-el. 

3  For  he  built  again  the  high 
places  which  Hez-e-ki'ah  his  fa- 
ther had  broken  down,  and  he 
reared  up  altars  for  B&'al4m,and 
made  groves,  and  worshipped  all 
the  host  of  heaven,  and  served 
them. 

4  Also  he  built  altars  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  whereof  the 
Lord  had  said,  In  Je-ru'sa-lfem 
shall  my  name  be  for  ever. 

5  And  he  built  altars  for  all  the 
host  of  heaven  in  the  two  courts 
of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

6  And  he  caused  his  children 
to  pass  through  the  fire  in  the 
valley  of  the  son  of  Hin'nom : 
also  he  observed  times,  and  used 
enchantments,  and  used  witch 
craft,  and  dealt  with  a  familiar 
spirit,  and  with  wizards:  he 
wrought  much  evil  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord,  to  provoke  him  to 
anger. 

7  And  he  set  a  carved  image, 
the  idol  which  he  had  made,  in 
the  house  of  God,  of  which  God 
had  said  to  Dft'vid  and  to  SoTo- 
mon  his  son.  In  this  house,  and 
in  Je-ru'ea-lgm,  which  I  have 
chosen  before  all  the  tribes  of 
ls/ra-el,  will  I  put  my  name  for 
ever: 

8  Neither  will  I  any  more  re- 
move the  foot  of  ls/ra-el  from 
out  of  the  land  which  I  have 
appointed  for  your  fathers;  so 
that  they  will  take  heed  to  do 
all  that  I  havecommanded  them, 
according  to  the  whole  law  and 
the  statutes  and  the  ordinances 
by  the  hand  of  M5'ses. 

9  So  Ma-nfis'seh  made  Ju'dah 
and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru/sa- 
lem  to  err,  and  to  do  worse  than 
the  heathen,  whom  the  Lord 
had  destroyed  before  the  chil- 
dren of  ls/ra-el. 

10  HAnd  the  Lord  spake  toMa- 
nas'seh,  and  to  his  people :  but 
they  would  not  hearken* 

11  Wherefore  the  Lord 
brought  upon  them  the  captains 
of  the  host  of  the  king  of  As- 
syrf-a,  which  took  Ma-naVseh 
among  the  thorns,  and  bound 
him  with  fetters,  and  carried 
him  to  Bfib'5Mon. 

12  And  when  he  was  in  afflic- 
tion, he  besought  the  Lord 
his  God,  and  humbled  himself 
greatly  before  the  God  of  his 
fathers, 

13  And  prayed  unto  him :  and 
he  was  intreated  of  him,  and 
heard    his    supplication,    and

brought  him  again  to  JS-ru'saV 
leni  into  his  kingdom.  Then 
M&-nfis'seh  knew  that  the  Lord 
he  was  God. 

14  IfNow  after  this  he  built  a 
wall  without  the  city  of  Da'vid, 
on  the  west  aide  of  Gfhon,  in 
the  yalley,  even  to  the  entering 
in  at  the  fish  gate,  and  com* 
passed  about  O'phel,  and  raised 
it  up  a  very  great  height,  and 
put  captains  of  war  in  all  the 
fenced  cities  of  Jfl'dah. 

15  And  he  took  away  the 
strange  gods,  and  the  idol  out  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  all 
the  altars  that  he  had  built  in 
the  mount  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  in  JS-ru'sfi-tem,  and 
cast  them  out  of  the  city. 

16  And  he  repaired  the  altar  of 
the  Lord,  and  sacrificed  there- 
on peace  offerings  and  thank 
offerings,  and  commanded  JtT- 
dah  to  serve  the  Lord  God  of 
Ifi'ra-el. 

17  Nevertheless  the  people  did 
sacrifice  still  in  the  high  places, 
yet  unto  the  Lord  their  God 
only. 

18  If  Nowthe  rest  of  the  acts 
of  MS-n&s'seh,  and  his  prayer 
unto  his  God,  and  the  words  of 
the  seers  that  spake  to  him  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord  God  of 
ls/ra-el,  behold,  they  are  written 
in  the  book  of  the  kings  of  Is/- 
ra-el. 

19  His  prayer  also,  and  how 
God  was  intreated  of  him,  and 
all  his  sins,  and  his  trespass,  and 
the  places  wherein  he  built  high 
places,  and  set  up  groves  and 
graven  images,  before  he  was 
humbled:  behold,  they  are  writ- 
ten among  the  sayings  of  the 


20  So  MS-naYseh  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  they  buried  him  in 
his  own  house :  and  A'mon  his 
son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

21  If  A'mon  was  two  and 
twenty  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  reigned  two  years 
in  JS-ru'sS-leni. 

22  But  he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
as  did  Ma-nas'seh  his  father :  for 
A'mon  sacrificed  unto  all  the 
carved  images  which  Mfi-n&s'seh 
his  father  had  made,  and  served 
them; 

23  And  humbled  not  himself 
before  the  Lord,  as  MS-n&s'seh 
his  father  had  humbled  himself ; 
but  A'mon  trespassed  more  and 
more. 

24  And  his  servants  conspired 
against  him,  and  slew  him  in 
his  own  house. 

25  But  the  people  of  the  land 


slew  all  them  that  had  conspired 
against  king  A'mon;  and  the 
people  of  the  land  made  J&sTah 
his  son  king  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  34 

Josiah'a  good  reign:  3  As  destroy 
idolatry  :  8  he  repair*  the  temple  ; 
19  and,  causing  the  law  to  he  read, 
renews  the  covenant  between  God 
and  the  people* 

JO-SI' AH  was  eight  years  old 
when  he  began  to  reign,  and 
he  reigned  in  JS-ru'sfi-leni  one 
and  thirty  years. 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was 
right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
and  walked  in  the  ways  of  Dft'- 
vid  his  father,  and  declined 
neither  to  the  right  hand,  nor 
to  the  left 

3  For  in  the  eighth  year  of  his 
reign,  while  he  was  yet  voung, 
he  began  to  seek  after  the  God 
of  D&'vid  bis  father:  and  in 
the  twelfth  year  he  began  to 
purge  J&'dah  and  J6-ru  sfi-lem 
from  the  high  places,  and  the 
groves,  and  the  carved  images, 
and  the  molten  images. 

4  And  they  brake  down  the 
altars  of  BS'al-lm  in  his  pres- 
ence ;  and  the  images,  that  were 
on  high  above  them,  he  cut 
down ;  and  the  groves,  and  the 
carved  images,  and  the  molten 
images,  he  brake  in  pieces,  and 
made  dust  of  them,  and  strowed 
it  upon  the  graves  of  them  that 
had  sacrificed  unto  them. 

5  And  he  burnt  the  bones  of 
the  priests  upon  their  altars, 
and  cleansed  JQ'dah  and  Jfc-ru*- 
sft-lSm. 

6  And  so  did  he  in  the  cities 
of  Mfi-nas'seh,  and  ffphrS-lm, 
and  SIra'e-on,  even  unto  Nftph' 
ta-li,  with  their  mattocks  round 
about 

7  And  when  he  had  broken 
down  the  altars  and  the  groves, 
and  had  beaten  the  graven  im- 
ages into  powder,  and  cut  down 
all  the  idols  throughout  all  the 
land  of  Is/ra-el,  he  returned  to 
JS-ru'sS-lem. 

8  If  Now  in  the  eighteenth 
year  of  his  reign,  when  he  had 
purged  the  land,  and  the  house, 
he  sent  Sha'phan  the  son  of 
Az-a-li'ah,  and  nfa-a-se"iah  the 
governor  of  the  city,  and  JO'ah 
the  son  of  J5'a-h&z  the  recorder, 
to  repair  the  house  of  the  Lord 
his  God. 

9  And  when  they  came  to  Hfl- 
ki'ah  the  high  priest,  they  de- 
livered the  money  that  was 
brought  into  the  house  of  God, 
which  the  LTvites  that  kept 
the  doors  had  gathered  of  the 
hand  of  Ma-nas  sen  and  Cphrft-

im,  and  of  all  the  remnant  of 
Is/ra-el,  and  of  all  Ju'dah  and 
Ben'ja-mln;  and  they  returned 
to  JS-ru'sfi-lem 

10  And  they  put  it  in  the  hand 
of  the  workmen  that  had  the 
oversight  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  they  gave  it  to 
the  workmen  that  wrought  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  to  repair 
and  amend  the  house : 

11  Even  to  the  artificers  and 
builders  gave  they  it,  to  buy 
hewn  stone,  and  timber  for 
couplings,  and  to  floor  the 
houses  which  the  kings  of  Ju'- 
dah  had  destroyed. 

12  And  the  men  did  the  work 
faithfully:  and  the  overseers 
of  them  were  Jfiliftth  and  O-ba* 
dT ah,  the  LCvites,  of  the  sons 
of  M**fi'ri;  and  Zech-4-ri'ah 
and  M&ehtillam,  of  the  sons  of 
the  ICThath-ites,  to  set  it  for- 
ward ;  and  other  of  the  Le'vites, 
all  that  could  skill  of  instru- 
ments of  musick. 

13  Also  they  were  over  the 
bearers  of  burdens,  and  were 
overseers  of  all  that  wrought 
the  work  in  any  manner  of 
service:  and  of  the  Le'vites 
there  were  scribes,  and  officers, 
and  porters. 

14  f  And  when  they  brought 
out  the  money  that  was  brought 
into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  ml- 
ki'ah  the  priest  found  a  book  of 
the  law  of  the  Lord  given  by 
MO'ses. 

15  And  rffl-ki'ah  answered  and 
said  to  Sha'phan  the  scribe,  I 
have  found  the  book  of  the  law 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord.  And 
Hll-ki'ah  delivered  the  book  to 
Sha'phan. 

16  And  Sha'phan  carried  the 
book  to  the  king,  and  brought 
the  king  word  back  again,  say- 
ing, All  that  was  committed  to 
thy  servants,  they  do  it 

17  And  they  have  gathered 
together  the  money  that  was 
found  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  have  delivered  it  into  the 
hand  of  the  overseers,  and  to 
the  hand  of  the  workmen. 

18  Then  Sha'phan  the  scribe 
told  the  king,  saying,  ffil-ki'ah 
the  priest  hath  given  me  a  book. 
And  Sha'phan  read  it  before 
the  kinff. 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  king  had  heard  the  words  of 
the  law,  that  he  rent  his  clothes. 

20  And  the  king  commanded 
HlUd'ah,  and  A-hilcam  the  son 
of  Sha'phan,  and  Ab'd5n  the  son 
of  Mi' can,  and  Sha'phan  the 
scribe,  and  A-sa-i'ah  a  servant 
of  the  king's,  saying, 


21  Go,  enquire  of  the  Lord  for 
me,  and  for  them  that  are  left 
in  Is/ra-el  and  in  Ju'dah,  con- 
cerning the  words  of  the  book 
that  is  found:  for  great  is  the 
wrath  of  the  Lord  that  is  poured 
out  upon  us,  because  our  fathers 
have  not  kept  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  to  do  after  all  that  is  writ- 
ten in  this  book. 

22  And  ffil-ki'ah,  and  ttey  that 
the  king  had  appointed,  went 
to  HuTdah  the  prophetess,  the 
wife  of  ShaTlum  the  son  of  Tflf- 
vath,  the  son  of  Has'rah,  keeper 
of  the  wardrobe ;  (  now  she  dwelt 
in  J£*u'sa>l£m  in  the  college:) 
and  they  spake  to  her  to  that 
effect 

23  And  she  answered  them, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  la/- 
ra-el,  Tell  ye  the  man  that  sent 
you  to  me, 

24  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Be- 
hold, I  will  bring  evil  upon  this 
place,  and  upon  the  inhabitants 
thereof,  even  all  the  curses  that 
are  written  in  the  book  which 
they  have  read  before  the  king 
of  Ju'dah: 

25  Because  they  have  forsak- 
en me,  and  have  burned  incense 
unto  other  gods,  that  thev  might 
provoke  me  to  anger  with  all  the 
works  of  their  hands ;  therefore 
my  wrath  shall  be  poured  out 
upon  this  place,  and  shall  not 
be  quenched. 

26  And  as  for  the  king  of  Ju'- 
dah, who  sent  you  to  enquire  of 
the  Lord,  so  shall  ye  say  unto 
him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  Is/ra-el  concerning  the  words 
which  thou  hast  heard ; 

27  Because  thine  heart  was 
tender,  and  thou  didst  humble 
thyself  before  God,  when  thou 
heardest  his  words  against  this 
place,  and  against  the  inhabit- 
ants thereof,  and  humbledst  thy- 
self before  me,  and  didst  rend 
thy  clothes,  and  weep  before 
me';  I  have  even  heard  thee 
also,  saith  the  Lord. 

28  Behold,  I  will  gather  thee 
to  thy  fathers,  and  thou  shalt  be 
gathered  to  thy  grave  in  peace, 
neither  shall  thine  eyes  see  all 
the  evil  that  I  will  bring  upon 
this  place,  and  upon  the  inhab- 
itants of  the  same.  So  they 
brought  the  king  word  again. 

29  %  Then  the  king  sent  and

small :  and  he  read  in  their  ears 
all  the  words  of  the  book  of  the 
covenant  that  was  found  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

31  And  the  king  stood  in  his 
place,  and  made  a  covenant  be- 
fore the  Lord,  to  walk  after  the 
Lord,  and  to  keep  his  command- 
ments, and  his  testimonies,  and 
his  statutes,  with  all  his  heart, 
and  with  all  his  soul,  to  perform 
the  words  of  the  covenant  which 
are  written  in  this  book* 

32  And  he  caused  all  that 
were  present  in  J&ru/s&Jgm  and 
Ben'ja-min  to  stand  to  it.  And 
the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lSm 
did  according  to  the  covenant  of 
God,  the  God  of  their  fathers. 

33  And  J&si'ah  took  away  all 
the  abominations  out  of  all  the 
countries  that  pertained  to  the 
children  of  ls/ra-el,  and  made  all 
that  were  present  in  ls/ra-el  to 
serve,  even  to  serve  the  Lord 
their  God.  And  all  his  days 
they  departed  not  from  follow- 
ing the  Lord,  the  God  of  their 
fathers. 

CHAPTER  35 

Josiah  keep*  a  solemn  passover. 
His  death, 

MOREOVER  Jtei'ah  kept  a 
passoverunto  the  Lord  in 
J&ru/sa-lem :  and  they  killed  the 
passover  on  the  fourteenth  day 
of  the  first  month. 

2  And  he  set  the  priests  in 
their  charges,  and  encouraged 
them  to  the  service  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord, 

3  And  said  unto  the  LTvites 
that  taught  all  ls/ra-el,  which 
were  holy  unto  the  Lord,  Put 
the  holy  ark  in  the  house  which 
S6To-mon  the  son  of  Da'vid  king 
of  ls/ra-el  did  build ;  it  shall  not 
be  a  burden  upon  your  shoul 
ders :  serve  now  the  Lord  your 
God,  and  his  people  ls/ra-el, 

4  And  prepare  yourselves  bv 
the  houses  of  your  fathers,  af- 
ter your  courses,  according  to 
the  writing  of  Da'vid  king  of 
ls/ra-el,  and  according  to  the 
writing  of  SoTo-mon  his  son. 

5  And  stand  in  the  holy  place 
according  to  the  divisions  of  the 
families  of  the  fathers  of  your 
brethren  the  people,  and  after 
the  division  of  the  families  of 
the  LTvites. 

6  So  kill  the  passover,  and 
sanctify  yourselves,  and  pre- 
pare your  brethren,  that  they 
may  do  according  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord  by  the  hand  of 
Md'seg. 

7  And  J6*i'ah  gave  to  the 
people,  of  the  flock,  lambs  and 
kids,  all  for  the  passover  offer- 


ings, for  all  that  were  present, 
to  the  number  of  thirty  thou- 
sand, and  three  thousand  bul- 
locks :  these  were  of  the  king's 
substance. 

8  And  his  princes  gave  will- 
ingly unto  the  people,  to  the 
priests,  and  to  the  LeVites: 
mi-ki'ah  and  Zech-a-ri'ah  and 
JS-hi'el,  rulers  of  the  house  of 
God,  gave  unto  the  priests  for 
the  passover  offerings  two  thou- 
sand and  six  hundred  small  cat- 
tie,  and  three  hundred  oxen. 

9  Cdn-a-ni'ah  also,  and  Shenva- 
i'ah  and  N£~than'e-el,  his  breth- 
ren, and  H&sh-a-bi'ah  and  Je^i'el 
and  Jdz'a-bad,  chief  of  the  LT- 
vites,  gave  unto  the  LS'vites  for 
passover  offerings  five  thousand 
small  cattle,  and  five  hundred 
oxen. 

10  So  the  service  was  pre- 
pared, and  the  priests  stood  in 
their  place,  and  the  Le'vites  in 
their  courses,  according  to  the 
king's  commandment 

11  And  they  killed  the  pass- 
over,  and  the  priests  sprinkled 
the  blood  from  their  hands,  and 
the  Le'vites  flayed  them. 

12  And  they  removed  the 
burnt  offerings,  that  they  might 
give  according  to  the  divisions 
of  the  families  of  the  people,  to 
offer  unto  the  Lord,  as  it  is 
written  in  the  book  of  M5'sef. 
And  so  did  they  with  the  oxen. 

13  And  they  roasted  the  pass- 
over  with  fire  according  to  the 
ordinance:  but  the  other  holy 
offerings  sod  they  in  pots,  and 
in  caldrons,  and  in  pans,  and 
divided  them  speedily  among 
all  the  people. 

14  And  afterward  they  made 
ready  for  themselves,  and  for 
the  priests :  because  the  priests 
the  sons  of  AbYoti  were  busied 
in  offering  of  burnt  offerings 
and  the  fat  until  night ;  there- 
fore the  Le'vites  prepared  for 
themselves,  and  for  the  priests 
the  sons  of  AaVon. 

15  And  the  singers  the  sons 
of  A'saph  were  in  their  place, 
according  to  the  commandment 
of  Da'vid,  and  A'saph,  and  Her- 
man, and  Jgd'u-thun  the  king's 
seer;  and  the  porters  waited  at 
every  gate ;  they  might  not  de- 
part from  their  service;  for 
their  brethren  the  L€'vites  pre- 
pared for  them. 

16  So  all  the  service  of  the 
Lord  was  prepared  the  same 
day,  to  keep  the  passover,  and 
to  offer  burnt  offerings  upon 
the  altar  of  the  Lord,  accord- 
ing to  the  commandment  of 
king  Jd-si'ah.

17  And  the  children  of  lg'ra-el 
that  were  present  kept  the  pass- 
over  at  that  time,  and  the  least 
of  unleavened  bread  seven  days. 

18  And  there  was-  no  passover 
like  to  that  kept  in  lg'ra-el  from 
the  days  of  Sam'u-el  the  proph- 
et ;  neither  did  all  the  kings  of 
ls/ra-el  keep  such  a  passover  as 
Jftsi'ah  kept,  and  the  priests, 
and  the  Le  vites,  and  all  Ju'dah 
and  la'st-el  that  were  present, 
and  the  inhabitants  of  Je~ru's&- 
iem. 

19  In  the  eighteenth  year  of 
the  reign  of  Jd-si'ah  Was  this 
passover  kept. 

20  f  After  all  this,  when  Jo- 
si'ah  had  prepared  the  temple, 
Ne~ch5  king  of  Ejfcypt  came  up 
to  fight  against  Char'che-mlsn 
by  Eu-phrS'tej|:  and  Jd*I'ah 
went  out  against  him. 

21  But  he  sent  ambassadors  to 
him,  saying,  What  have  I  to  do 
with  thee,  thou  king  of  Ju'dah  ? 
I  come  not  against  thee  this 
day,  but  against  the  house 
wherewith  I  have  war:  for 
God  commanded  me  to 
haste:  forbear  thee  from  med- 
dling with  God,  who  is  with 
me,  that  he  destroy  thee  not 

22  Nevertheless  Jd-sfah  would 
not  turn  his  face  from  him,  but 
disguised  himself,  that  he  might 
fight  with  him,  and  hearkened 
not  unto  the  words  of  Ne'chS 
from  the  mouth  of  God,  and 
came  to  fight  in  the  valley  of 
Me-gid'do. 

23  And  the  archers  shot  at 
kino;  Jd-si'ah ;  and  the  king  said 
to  his  servants,  Have  me  away; 
for  I  am  sore  wounded. 

24  His  servants  therefore  took 
him  out  of  that  chariot,  and  put 
him  in  the  second  chariot  that 
he  had ;  and  they  brought  him 
to  Je-ru^sfi4emv  and  he  died,  and 
was  buried  in  one  of  the  sepul- 
chres of  his  fathers.  And  all 
Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sS-lem  mourned 
for  Jd-si'ah. 

25  And  Jer-e-mi'ah  lamented 
for  Jfrsi'ah:  and  all  the  sing- 
ing men  and  the  singing  wom- 
en spake  of  Jd-si'ah  in  their 
lamentations  to  this  day,  and 
made  them  an  ordinance  in  ls'- 
ra-el:  and,  behold,  they  are 
written  in  the  lamentations. 

26  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  Jd-si'ah,  and  his  goodness, 
according  to  that  which  was 
written  in  the  law  of  the 
Lord, 

27  And  his  deeds,  first  and 
last,  behold,  they  are  written 
in  the  book  of  the  kings  of 
la'ra-el  and  Ju'dah.

A  took  Je-hS'a-haz  the  son  of 
J6-ef ah,  and  made  him  king  in 
his  father's  stead  in  Je-ru'si-fem. 

2  Je-hd'a-haz  was  twenty  and 
three  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  he  reigned  three 
months  in  Je-ru'sa-lfim. 

3  And  the  king  of  £'tfpt  put 
him  down  at  Je-ru'sS-lem,  and 
condemned  the  land  in  an  hun- 
dred talents  of  silver  and  a 
talent  of  gold. 

4  And  the  king  of  £'L  . 
made  £-H'a-kim  his  brother 
king  over  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa- 
15m,  and  turned  his  name  to 
Je-hoi'a-klm.  And  Ne'chd  took 
Je-h5'a-haz  his  brother,  and  car- 
ried him  to  fi'gjrpt 

5  %  Je-hoi'a-kim  was  twenty 
and  five  years  old  when  he  be- 
gan to  reign,  and  he  reigned 
eleven  years  in   Je^ru's&Tem : 

1  he  did  that  which :  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord 
his  God. 

6  Against  him  came  up  Neb-u- 
chad-neVzar  king  of  B&b'jr-lon, 
and  bound  him  in  fetters,  to 
carry  him  to  BSb'jMon. 

7  NeT>u-chad-n&'zar  also  car- 
of  the  vessels  of  the  house 

of  the  Lord  to  B&b'jMon,  and 
put  them  in  his  temple  at 
BaVy-lon. 

8  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Je-hoi'a-kim,  and  his  abomina- 
tions which  he  did,  and  that 
which  was  found  in  him,  be- 
hold, they  are  written  in  the 
book  of  the  kings  of  Is/ra-el  and 
Ju'dah:  and  JS-hoi'a-chin  his 
son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

9  IT  J£-hoi'a-chin  was 
years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  he  reigned  three 
months  and  ten  days  in  Je-ru' 
sa-lem:  and  he  did  that  which 
was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord. 

10  And  when  the  year  was  ex- 
pired, king  NSb-u-chad-neVsar 
sent,  and  brought  him  to  Wb'f- 
Ion,  with  the  goodly  vessels  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and 
made  ZM-e-ki'ah  his  brother 
king  over  Ju'dah  and  J&ru'sfi-

11  %  Zed-e-ki'ah  was  one  and 
twenty  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  reigned  eleven

before  Jer-e-mf ah  the  prophet 
speaking  from  the  mouth  of 
the  Lord. 

13  And  he  also  rebelled  against 
king  N£b-u-chad-neVzart  who 
had  made  him  swear  by  God : 
but  he  stiffened  his  neck,  and 
hardened  his  heart  from  turn- 
ing unto  the  Lord  God  of  Is> 
ra-eL 

14  Moreover  all  the  chief  of 
the  priests,  and  the  people, 
transgressed  very  much  alter  all 
the  abominations  of  the  hea- 
then ;  and  polluted  the  house  of 
the  Lord  which  he  had  hal- 
lowed in  JS*u's&-lem. 

15  And  the  Lord  God  of  their 
fathers  sent  to  them  by  his  mes- 
sengers, rising  up  betimes,  and 
sending;  because  he  had  com- 
passion on  his  people,  and  on 
his  dwelling  place: 

16  But  they  mocked  the  mes- 
sengers of  God,  and  despised  his 
words,  and  misused  his  prophets, 
until  the  wrath  of  the  Lord 
arose  against  his  people,  till 
there  was  no  remedy. 

17  Therefore  he  brought  upon 
them  the  king  of  the  Ch&l'deefi, 
who  slew  their  young  men  with 
the  sword  in  the  house  of  their 
sanctuary,  and  had  no  compas- 
sion upon  young  man  or  maiden, 
old  man,  or  him  that  stooped  for 
age:  he  gave  them  all  into  his 
hand. 

18  And  all  the  vessels  of  the 
house  of  God,  great  and  small, 
and  the  treasures  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  the  treasures 


of  the  king;  and  of  his  princes ; 
all  these  he  brought  to  Bftb'J- 
Ion. 

19  And  they  burnt  the  house 
of  God,  and  brake  down  the  wall 
of  JS-ru'sfi-lem,  and  burnt  all  the 
palaces  thereof  with  fire,  and 
destroyed  all  the  goodly  vessels 
thereof. 

20  And  them  that  had  escaped 
from  the  sword  carried  he  away 
to  B&b'jMon ;  where  they  were 
servants  to  him  and  his  sons 
until  the  reign  of  the  kingdom 
of  Persia: 

21  To  fulfil  the  word  of  the 
Lord  by  the  mouth  of  Jer-e- 
mi'ah,  until  the  land  had  en- 
joyed her  sabbaths  \for  as  long 
as  she  lay  desolate  she  kept 
sabbath,  to  fulfil  threescore  and 
ten  years. 

22  UNow  in  the  first  year  of 
Cfnis  king  of  PeVsja,  that  the 
word  of  the  Lord  spoken  by 
the  mouth  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  might 
be  accomplished,  the  Lord 
stirred  up  the  spirit  of  Cyrus 
king  of  Persia,  that  he  made  a 
proclamation  throughout  all  his 
kingdom,  and  put  it  also  in 
writing,  saying, 

23  Thus  saith  Qfrus  king  of 
Persia,  All  the  kingdoms  of  the 
earth  hath  the  Lord  God  of 
heaven  given  me;  and* he  hath 
charged  me  to  build  him  an 
house  in  JS-ru'sfi-letn,  which  is 
in  JU'dah.  Who  is  there  among 
you  of  all  his  people?  The 
Lord  his  God  be  with  him,  and 
let  him  go  up.

CHAPTER  1 

Proclamation  0/  Cyme  for  building 
the  temple.  7  Cyrue  reetoree  the 
veeeelep  etc* 

NOW  in  the  first  year  of  Cy- 
rus king  of  Persia,  that 
the  word  of  the  Lord  by  the 
mouth  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  might  be 
fulfilled,  the  Lord  stirred  up 
the  spirit  of  Qfrus  king  of  Per- 
sia, that  he  made  a  proclama- 
tion throughout  all  his  king- 
dom, and  put  it  also  in  writing, 
saying, 

2  Thus  saith  Qfrus  king  of 
PeVsi*,  The  Lord  God  of 
heaven  hath  given  me  all  the 
kingdoms  of  the  earth ;  and  he 
hath  charged  me  to  build  him 
an  house  at  Je^ru/sft-lem,  which 
is  in  Ju'dah. 

3  Who  is  there  among  you  of 


all  his  people?  his  God  be  with 
him,  and  let  him  go  up  to  Jfr-iu.'- 
sfr-lem,  which  is  in  Ju'dah,  and 
build  the  house  of  the  Lord 
God  of  Is/ra-el,  (he  is  the  God,) 
which  is  in  J&ru'sa'-lem. 

4  And  whosoever  remaineth  in 
any  place  where  he  sojourneth, 
let  the  men  of  his  place  help 
him  with  silver,  and  with  gold, 
and  with  goods,  and  with  beasts, 
beside  the  freewill  offering  for 
the  house  of  God  that  t*  in 
J£-ru's&-l£m. 

5  %  Then  rose  up  the  chief  of 
the  fathers  of  Ju'dah  and  Ben'- 
ja-mln,  and  the  priests,  and  the 
Le'vites,  with  all  them  whose 
spirit  God  had  raised,  to  go  up 
to  build  the  house  of  the  Lord 
which  is  in  J&-ru's£-l£m.

NelHi-chad-neVzar  had  brought

had  put  them  in  the  house  of 
his  jjods; 

8  Even  those  did  Cfras  king 
of  Persia  bring  forth  by  the 
hand  of  lfith'r*dfith  the  treas- 
urer, and  numbered  them  unto 
Shesh-baYzar,  the  prince  of  Ju'-

62  These  sought  their  register 
amongthost  that  were  reckoned 
by  genealogy,  but  they  were  not

polluted,  put  from  the  priest

63  And  the  Tlr'sha-tha  said  un-

67  Their  camels,  four  hundred 
thirty  and  five ;  their  asses,  six 
thousand  seven  hundred  and

68  If  And  some  of  the  chief  of 
the  fathers,  when  they  came  to 
the  house  of  the  Lord  which  is 
at  J&-ru's3-lem,  offered  freely 
for  the  house  of  God  to  set  tt 
up  in  his  place : 

69  They  gave  after  their  abil-

threescore  and  one  thousand

by  number,  according  to  the 
custom,  as  the  duty  of  every  day 
required; 

5  And  afterward  offered  the 
continual  burnt  offering,  both  of 
the  new  moons,  and  of  all  the 
set  feasts  of  the  Lord  that  were 
consecrated,  and  of  every  one 
that  willingly  offered  a  freewill 
offering  unto  the  Lord. 

6  From  the  first  day  of  the 
seventh  month  began  they  to 
offer  burnt  offerings  unto  the 
Lord.  But  the  foundation  of 
the  temple  of  the  Lord  was  not 
yet  laid. 

7  They  gave  money  also  unto 
the  masons,  and  to  the  carpen 
ters ;  and  meat*  and  drink,  and 
oil,  unto  them  of  Zi'd&n,  and  to 
them  of  Tyre,  to  bring  cedar 
trees  from  L£b'a*non  to  the  sea 
of  Jdp'pa,  according  to  the  grant 
that  they  had  of  £y'rus  king  of 
Persia. 

8  tNow  in  the  second  year  of 
their  coming  unto  the  house  of 
Godat  Je^ru'sa4em,in  the  second 
month,  began  Z&rub'ba-bel  the 
son  of  Sh&aTtl-el,  and  Jesh'u4 
the  son  of  Jdz'a-d&k,  and  the 
remnant  of  their  brethren  the 
priests  and  the  Lg'vites,  and  all 
they  that  were  come  out  of  the 
captivity  unto  JS-ru'sa-lem ;  and 
appointed  the  Lt'vites,  from 
twenty  years  old  and  upward, 
to  set  forward  the  work  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

9  Then  stood  Jesh'u-a  with 
his  sons  and  his  brethren,  Kid' 
mi-el  and  his  sons,  the  sons  of 
Ju'dah,  together,  to  set  forward 
the  workmen  in  the  house  of 
God:  the  .  sons  of  Hen'a-dSd, 
with  their  sons  and  their  breth- 
ren the  LeVites. 

10  And  when  the  builder*  laid 
the  foundation  of  the  temple  of 
the  Lord,  they  set  the  priests  in 
their  apparel  with  trumpets,  and 
the  LS'vites  the  sons  of  A'saph 
with   cymbals,   to  praise'  the 


Lord,  after  the  ordinance  of 
Da'vid  king  of  Is'ra-eL 

11  And .  they  sang  together 
by  course  in  praising  and  giv- 
ing thanks  unto  the  Lord  ;  be- 
cause he  is  good,  for  his  mercy 
endureth  for  ever  toward  la'ra- 
el.  And  all  the  people  shouted 
with  a  great  shout,  when  they 
praised  the  Lord,  because  the 
foundation  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord  was  hid. 

12  But  many  of  the  priests 
and  LS'vites  and  chief  of  the 
fathers,  who  were  ancient 
men,  that  had  seen  the  first 
house,  when  the  foundation  of 
this  house  was  laid  before  their 
eyes,  wept  with  a  loud  voice ; 
and  many  shouted  aloud  for  joy: 

13  So  that  the  people  could  not 
discern  the  noise  of  the  shout  of 
joy  from  the  noise  of  the  weep- 
ing of  the  people :  for  the  peo- 
ple shouted  with  a  loud  shout, 
and  the  noise  was  heard  afar  off. 

CHAPTER  4 

The  building  hindered.  7  Letter  to 
Artaxeraee:  17  hit  decree  to  etop 
the  work. 

NOW  when  the  adversaries 
of  JQ'dah  and  Ben'ja-min 
heard  that  the  children  of  the 
captivity  builded  the  temple  un< 
to  the  Lord  God  of  Ift'ra-d ; 

2  Then  they  came  to  ZS-riib'- 
ba-bel,  and  to  the  chief  of  the 
fathers,  and  said  unto  them.  Let 
us  build  with  you :  for  we  seek 
your  God,  as  ye  do  ;  and  we  do 
sacrifice  unto  nim  since  the  days 
of  E'sax-hid'don  king  of  As'sur, 
which  brought  us  up  hither. 

3  But  Ze-rubOm-bel,  and  Jesh'- 
u4»  and  the  rest  of  the  chief  of 
the  fathers  of  Ig'ra-cl,  said  unto 
them,  Ye  have  nothing  to  do 
with  us  to  build  an  house  unto 
our  God;  but  we  ourselves  to- 

g ether  will  build  unto  the  Lord 
od  of  ls'ra-el,  as  king  Cy'rus 
the  king  of  Pfr'ftia  hath  com- 
manded us.. 

4  Then  the  people  of  the  land 
weakened  the  hands  of  the  peo- 
ple of  JQ'dah,  and  troubled  them 
in  building, 

5  And  hired  counsellors  against 
them,  to  frustrate  their  purpose, 
all  the  days  of  Cy'ros  aing  of 
Per'sia>  even  until  the  reign  of 
Da-ri'us  king  of  Persia. 

6  And  in  the  reign  of  A-hSg- 
u-e'rus,  in  the  beginning  of  his 
reign,  wrote  they  unto  nim  an 
accusation  against  the  inhabit 
ants  of  Ju'dahand  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

7  And  in  the  days  of  Ar-tfij 
Srx'es  wrote  Bishlftm,  Mittfre- 
dath,  Tfil>e-el,  and  the  rest  of 
their  companions,  unto  Ar-ta*

enCe*  king  of  Persia;  and 
the  writing  of  the  letter  was 
written  in  the  Syrf-an  tongue, 
and  interpreted  in  the  Syri-an 
tongue. 

8  Re'hum  the  chancellor  and 
Shim'shai  the  scribe  wrote  a 
letter  against  J&ru's&leni  to  Ar- 
taj-erx'ea  the  king  in  this  sort 

9  Then  wrote  Re'hum  the 
chancellor,  and  Shim'shai  the 
scribe,  and  the  rest  of  their 
companions ;  the  Di'na-ites,  the 
A-phar'sath-chites,  the  TaYpel- 
ites,  the  A-phar'sites,  the  Ary- 
che-vites,  the  Bftb-v45'ni-aii|, 
the  Su'san-chltes,  the  De-ha'- 
vites,  and  the  Clam-ites, 

10  And  the  rest  of  the  nations 
whom  the  great  and  noble  As- 
n&p'per  brought  over,  and  set  in 
the  cities  of  Si-mi'rl-a,  and  the 
rest  that  are  on  this  side  the 
river,  and  at  such  a  time. 

11  IT  This  is  the  copy  of  the 
letter  that  they  sent  unto  him, 
even  unto  Ar-tas-erx'eg  the  king; 
Thy  servants  the  men  on  this 
side  the  river,  and  at  such  a 
time. 

12  Be  it  known  unto  the  king, 
that  the  Jews  which  came  up 
from  thee  to  us  are  come  unto 
Je*ru'sa>lSm,  building  the  rebel- 
lious and  the  bad  city,  and  have 
set  up  the  walls  thereof,  and 
joined  the  foundations. 

13  Be  it  known  now  unto  the 
king,  that,  if  this  city  bebuilded, 
and  the  walls  set  up  again,  then 
will  they  not  pay  toll,  tribute, 
and  custom,  and  so  thou  shalt 
endamage  the  revenue  of  the 
kings. 

14  Now  because  we  have  main- 
tenance from  the  king's  palace, 
and  it  was  not  meet  for  us  to  see 
the  king's  dishonour,  therefore 
have  we  sent  and  certified  the 
king; 

15  That  search  may  be  made 
in  the  book  of  the  records  of 
thy  fathers :  so  shalt  thou  find 
in  the  book  of  the  records,  and 
know  that  this  city  is  a  rebel- 
lious city,  and  hurtful  unto 
kings  and  provinces,  and  that 
they  have  moved  sedition  with- 
in the  same  of  old  time:  for 
which  cause  was  this  city  de- 
stroyed.; 

16  We  certify  the  king  that, 
if  this  city  be  buUded  again, 
and  the  walls  thereof  set  up, 
by  this  means  thou  shalt  have 
no  portion  on  this  side  the  river. 

17  1T  Then  sent  the  king  an 
answer  unto  Re"hum  the  chan- 
cellor, and  to  Shim'shai  the 
scribe*  and  to  the  rest  of  their 
companions  that  dwell  in  SaV

mS'ri-a,  and  unto  the  test  be-

such  a  time. 

18  The  letter  which  ye  sent 
unto  us  hath  been  plainly  read  p.pjfe&8. 
before  me. 

19  And  I  commanded, 
search  hath  been  made,  and  it 
is  found  that  this  city  of  old 
time  hath  made  insurrection 
against  kings,  and  that  rebel- 
lion and  sedition  have  been 
made  therein. 

20  There  have  been  mighty 
kings  also    over  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
which  have  ruled  over  all  coutu  p.p.i  KAJZi ;  1 
tries  beyond  the  river;   and 
toll,  tribute,  and  custom,  was  2  Chr.17.11. 
paid  unto  them. 

21  Give  ye  now  commandment 
to  cause  these  men  to  cease,  and 
that  this  city  be  not  builded, 
until  another  commandment 
shall  be  given  from  me. 

22  Take  heed  now  that  ye 
fail  not  to  do  this:  why  should 
damage  grow  to  the  hurt  of  the 
kings? 

23  IT  Now  when  the  copy  of 
king  Ar-tfix-erx'es'  letter  was 
read  before  Re'hum,  and  Shim'- 
shai the  scribe,  and  their  com- 
panions, they  went  up  in  haste 
to  J&*u's&-lem  unto  the  Jews, 
and  made  them  to  cease  by 
force  and  power. 

24  Then  ceased  the  work  of 
the  house  of  God  which  is  at 
J£-ru'sa4em.  So  it  ceased  unto 
the  second  year  of  the  reign  of 
D&ri'us  king  of  Persia, 

CHAPTER  5 

Zerubbabel  and  Joshua  set  forward 
the  building  of  the  temple  in  the 
reign  of  Dariue. 

THEN  the  prophets,  Ha^ga-I 
the  prophet,  and  Zech-a-ri' 
ah  the  son  of  Id'dft,  prophesied 
unto  the  Jews  that  were  in 
Ju'dah  and  J&*u's&4£m  in  the 
name  of  the  God  of  ls/ra-el, 
even  unto  them. 

2  Then  rose  up  Z&rub'ba-bei 
the  son  of  She-aTti-el,  and  Jesh'- 
u-a  the  son  of  JdVa-dftk,  and  be- 
gan to  build  the  house  of  God 
which  is  at  J&ru'sft-lem :  and 
with  them  were  "the  prophets 
of  God  helping  them. 

3  If  At  the  same  time  came  to 
them  Tat'na-i,  governor  on  this 
side  the  river,  and  ShS'thar- 
boVna-i,  and  their  companions, 
and  said  thus  unto  them,  Who 
hath  commanded  you  to  build 
this  house,  and  to  make  up  this  p.p.v.9. 
wall? 

4  Then  said  we  unto  them  af- 
ter this  manner,  What  are  the 
names  of  the  men  that  make 
this  building?

5  But  the  eye  of  their  God 
was  upon  the  elders  of  the  Jews, 
that  they  could  not  cause  them 
to  cease,  till  the  matter  came 
to  Di-ri'us:  and  then  they  re- 
turned answer  by  letter  con- 
cerning this  matter. 

6  1TTne  copy  of  the  letter  that 
TSf  na-i,  governor  on  this  side 
the  river,  and  She'thir~b8£'na-i, 
and  his  companions  the  A-phfir'- 
sach-ltea,  which  were  on  this 
side  the  river*  sent  unto  Dft-ri'- 
us  the  king: 

7  They  sent  a  letter  unto  him, 
wherein  was  written  thus;  Un- 
to-Dfrrfus  the  king,  all  peace. 

8  Be  it  known  unto  the  king, 
that  we  ♦  went  into  the  province 
of  Ju-de'a,  to  the  house  of  the 
great  God,  which  is  builded  with 
great  stones,  and  timber  h  laid 
in  the  walls,  and  this  work  go- 
eth  fast  on,  and  prospereth  in 
their  hands. 

9  Then  asked  we  those  elders, 
and  said  unto  them  thus,  Who 
commanded  you  to  build  this 
house,  and  to  make  up  these 
walls? 

10  We  asked  their  names  also, 
to  certify' thee,  that  we  might 
write  the  names  of  the  men 
that  were  the  chief  of  them. 

11  And  thus  they  returned 
us  answer,  saying,  we  are  the 
servants  of  the  God  of  heaven 
and  earth,  and  build  the  house 
that  was  builded  these  many 
years  ago,  which  a  great  king 
of  Is'ra-el  builded  and  set  up. 

12  But  after  that  our  fathers 
had  provoked  the  God  of  heav- 
en unto  wrath,  he  rave  them 
into  the  hand  of  Neb-u-chad- 
neVzar  the  king  of  Bftb'jMon, 
the  Chftl-de^an,  who  destroyed 
this  housed  and  carried  the  peo- 
ple away  into  Bab'jMon. 

13  But  in  the  first  year  of 
Cfrus  the  king  of  Bfib'y-lon 
the  same  king  Qfras  made  a 
decree  to  build  this  house  of 
God. 

14  And  the  vessels  also  of 
gold  and  silver  of  the  house  of 
God,  which  NeVu-chad-neYzar 
took  out  of  the  temple  that  was 
in  J&ru'saVlSm,  and  brought 
them  into  the  temple  of  B&b'- 
jMon,  those  did  Cyrus  the  king 
take  out  of  the  temple  of  BaV- 
jMon,  and  they  were  delivered 
unto  one,  whose  name  was 
Shesh-bSz'zar,  whom  he  had 
made  governor; 

15  And  said  unto  him,  Take 
these  vessels,  go,  carry  them  in- 
to the  temple  that  is  in  JS-ru'- 
saVleni,  and  let  the  house  of  God 
be  builded  in  his  place.   - 


16  Then  came  the  same  Sfaesh- 
baVsar,  and  laid  the  foundation 
of  the  house  of  God  which  is  in 
J&ru'sfi-lem :  and  since  that 
time  even  until  now  hath  it 
been  in  building,  and  yet  it  is 
not  finished. 

17  Now  therefore,  if  it  seem 
good  to  the  king,  let  there  be 
search  made  in  the  king's  treas- 
ure house,  which  is  there  at 
B&VjUon,  whether  it  be  so,  that 
a  decree  was  made  of  CJ'rus  the 
king  to  build  this  house  of  God 
at  JS-ru'sfi*l£m,  and  let  the  king 
send  his  pleasure  to  us  concern- 
ing this  matter. 

CHAPTER  6       , 

Darkie*  decree,  for  advancing  the 
building.  13  The  temple  finished, 
16  Feaete  of  the  dedication  19  and 
o/  the  pame+er. 

rpHEN  Dft-rTus  the  king  made 
X  a  decree,  and  search  was 
made  in  the  house  of  the  rolls, 
where  the  treasures  were  laid  up 
inBfib'f-lon. 

2  And  there  was' found  at  Ach' 
me-tha,  in  the  palace  that  is  in 
the  province  or  the  MSdeg,  a  roll, 
and  therein  was  a  record  thus 
written: 

3  In  the  first  year  of  Qfim  the 
king  the  same  Cyprus  the  king 
made  a  decree  concerning  the 
house  of  God  at  Jferu'sa-lSm,  Let 
the  house  be  builded,  the  place 
where  they  offered  sacrifices, 
and  let  the  foundations  thereof 
be  strongly  laid;  the  height 
thereof  threescore  cubits,  and 
the  breadth  thereof  threescore 
cubits; 

4  With  three  rows  of  great 
stones,  and  a  row  of  new  timber: 
and  let  the  expences  be  given 
out  of  the  king's  house : 

5  And  also  let  the  golden  and 
silver  vessels  of  the  house  of 
God,  which  NSb-u-chad-neVzar 
took  forth  out  of  the  temple 
which  is  at  JS-ru'sS-lem,  and 
brought  unto  BaVjMon,  be  re- 
stored, and  brought  again  unto 
the  temple  which  is  at  JS-ru'sft- 
15m,  every  one  to  his  place,  and 
place  tAem  in  the  house  of  God. 

6  Now  therefore,  T&f na-l, 
governor  beyond  the  river,  Sh§'- 
thar-boYna-I,  and  your  compan- 
ions the  A-phaVsach-ites,  which 
are  beyond  the  river,  be  ye  far 
from  thence: 

7  Let  the  work  of  this  house  of 
God  alone ;  let  the  governor  of 
the  Jews  and  the  elders  of  the 
Jews  build  this  bouse  of  God  in 
his  place.  * 

8  Moreover  I  make  a  decree 
what  ye  shall  do  to  the  elders  of 
these  Jews  for  the  building  of

first  day  of  the  fifth  month 
came  he  to  Je^ra'sft-lem,  accord- 
ing to  the  good  nand  of  his  God 
upon  him. 

10  For  fitfYa  had  prepared  his 
heart  to  seek  the  law  of  the 
Lohdv  and  to  do  it,  and  to  teach 
in  Is/ra-el  statutes  and  judg- 
ments. 

11  U  Now  this  is  the  copy  of 
the  letter  that  the  king  Ar-t*x- 
erx'ea  gave  unto  fiz'rft  the  priest, 
the  scribe,  even  a  scribe  of  the 
words  of  the  commandments  of 
the  Loso,  and  of  his  statutes  to 
Is/ra-eL 

12  Ar-ta^-irr/e^king  of  kings, 
unto  rVra  the  priest  a  scribe 
of  the  law  of  the  God  of  heaven, 
perfect  peace,  and  at  such  a 
time. 

13  I  make 'a  decree,  that  all 
thev  of  the  people  of'  Is'ra-el, 
and  of  his  priests  and  Le'vites, 
in  my  realm,  which  are  minded 
of  their  own  freewill  to  go  up 
to  J&ru'ssVlem,  go  with  thee. 

14  Forasmuch  as  thou  art  vent 
of  the  king,  and  of  his  seven 
counsellors,  to  enquire  concern- 
ing Jfi'dah  and  J&ru'sa-le'm,  ac- 
cording to  the  law  of  thy  God 
which  i*  in  thine  hand; 

15  And  to  carry  the  silver  and 
gold,  which  the  king  and  his 
counsellors  have  freely  offered 
unto  the  God  of  Is/ra-el,  whose 
habitation  is  in  Je-ru/sfi-lem, 

16  And  all  the  silver  and  gold 
that  thou  canst  find  in-  all  the 
province  of  B&b'jMon,  with  the 
freewill  offering  of  the  people, 
and  of  the  priests,  offering- will- 
ingly for  the  house  of  their  God 
which  is  in  Jfc-rft'efi-lfim : 

17  That  thou  mayest'  buy 
speedily  with  this  money  bul- 
locks, rams,  lambs,  with  their 
meat  offerings  and  their  drink 
offerings,  and  offer  them  upon 
the  altar  of  the  house  of  your 
God  which  is  in  JeVru/sS-lem. 

18  And  whatsoever  shall  seem 
good  to  thee,  and  to  thy  breth-

silver  and  the  gold,  that  do  after 
the  will  of  your  GocL

given  thee  for  the  service'  of 
the  house  of  thy  God,  those  de- 
liver thou  before  the  God  of  Jg- 
ru/si-lem. 

20  And  whatsoever  more  shaH 
be  needful'  for  the  house  of  thy 
God;  which  thou  ahalt  have  oc- 
casion to  bestow*  bestow  it  out 
of  the  king's  treasure  house. 

21 '  And :  I,  even  1  Ar*tfix-€rx'ea 
the  king,  do  make  a  decree  to 
all  the  treasurers  which  are  be- 
yond the  river,  that  whatsoever  I 


fix'ra  the  priest,  the  scribe  of 
the  law  of  the  God  of  heaven, 
shaH  require  of  you;  it  be  done 
speedily, 

22  Unto  an  hundred  talents  of 
silver,  and  to  an  hundred  meas- 
ures of  wheat,  and  to  an  hun- 
dred baths  of  wine,  and  to  an 
hundred  baths  of  oil,  and  salt 
without  prescribing  how  much. 

23  Whatsoever  is  commanded 
by  the  God  of  heaven,  let  it  be 
diligently  done  for  the  house  of 
the  God  of  heaven:  for  why 
should  there  be  wrath  against 
the  realm  of  the  king  and  his 

ons? 

24  Also  we  certify  you,  that 
touching  any  of  the  priests  and 
Le'vites,  singers,  porters,  Neth'- 
i-nims,  or  ministers  of  this  house 
of  God,  it  shall  not  be  lawful  to 
impose  toll,  tribute,  or  custom, 
upon  them. 

25  And  thou,  fix'ra,  after  the 
wisdom  of  thy  God,  that  is  in 
thine  hand,  set  magistrates  and 
judges,  which  may  judge  all  the 
people  that  are  beyond  the  riv- 
er, all  such  as  know  the  laws  of 
thy  God;  and  teach  ye  them 
that  know  them  not 

26  And  whosoever  will  not  do 
the  law  of  thy  God,  and  the  law 
of  the  king,  let  judgment  be 
executed  speedily  upon  him, 
whether  it  be  unto  death,  or  to 
banishment,  or  to  confiscation 
of  goods,  or  to  imprisonment 

27  IBlessed  be  the  Lord  God 
of  our  fathers,  which  hath  put 
such  a  thing  as  this  in  the 
king's  heart  to  beautify  the 
house  of  the  Lord  which  is  in 
Jfr-ru/sa>lSm  r 

28  And  hath  extended  mercy 
unto  me  before  the  king,  and 
his  counsellors,  and  before  all 
the  king's  mighty  princes.  And 
I  was  strengthened  as  the  hand 
of  the  Lord  my  God  was  upon 
me,  and  I  gathered  together  out 
of  ls/ra-el  chief  men  to  go  up 
with  me.

21  IT  Then  I  proclaimed  a  fast 
there,  at  the  river  of  A-ha'va, 
that  we  might  afflict  ourselves 
before  our  Cod,  to  seek  of  him 
a  right  way  for  us,  and  for  our 
little  ones,  and  for  all  our  sub- 
stance. 

22  For  I  was  ashamed  to  re- 

Suire  of  the  king  a  band  of  sel- 
lers and  horsemen  to  help  us 
against  the  enemy  in  the  way : 
because  we  had  spoken  unto  the 
king,  saying.  The  hand  of  our 
Godt*  upon  all  them  for  good 
that  seek  him;  but  his  power 
and  his  wrath  is  against  all 
them  that  forsake  him. 

23  So  we  fasted  and  besought 
our  God  for  this:  and  he  was 
intreated  of  us. 

24  IF  Then  I  separated  twelve 
of  the  chief  of  the  priests,  Sher- 
e-bTah,  Hash-a-bi'ah,  and  ten  of 
their  brethren  with  them, 

25  And  weighed  unto  them  the 
silver,  and  the  gold,  and  the  ves- 
sels, even  the  offering  of  the 
house  of  our  God,  which  the 
king,  and  his  counsellors,  and 
his  lords,  and  all  ls'ra-el  there 
present,  had  offered : 

26  I  even  weighed  unto  their 
hand  six  hundred  and  fifty  tal- 
ents of  silver,  and  silver  vessels 
an  hundred  talents,  and  of  gold 
an  hundred  talents; 

27  Also  twenty  basons  of  gold, 
of  a  thousand  drams;  and  two 
vessels  of  fine  copper,  precious 
as  gold. 

28  And  I  said  unto  them,  Ye 
are  holy  unto  the  Lord;  the 
vessels  are  holy  also;  and  the 
silver  and  the  gold  are  a  free- 
will offering  unto  the  Lord  God 
of  your  fathers. 

29  Watch  ye,  and  keep  them, 
until  ye  weigh  them  before  the 
chief  of  the  priests  and  the  Le'- 
vites,  and  chief  of  the  fathers 
of  ls'ra-el,  at  J*ru'sft-lem,  in  the 
chambers  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord. 

30  So  took  the  priests  and  the 
Le'vites  the  weight  of  the  sil- 
ver, and  the  gold,  and  the  ves- 
sels, to  bring  them  to  J6-ru'sa-

lfim  unto  the  house  of  our  God. 

31  H  Then  we  departed  from 
the  river  of  A-ha'va  on  the 
twelfth  day  of  the  first  month, 
to  go  unto  JcVru/sa-lem :  and  the 
hand  of  our  God  was  upon  us, 
and  he  delivered  us  from  the 
hand  of  the  enemy,  and  of  such 
as  lay  in  wait  by  the  way. 

32  And  we  came  to  Je-ru'saV 
lcm,  and  abode  there  three  days. 

33  IT  Now  on  the  fourth  day 
was  the  silver  and  the  gold  and 
the  vessels  weighed  in  the 
house  of  our  God  by  the  hand  of 
MeVe-mSth  the  son  of  U-ri'ah 
the  priest;  and  with  him  was 
£4e4'sar  the  son  of  Phin'e-has ; 
and  with  them  was  JoVa-b&d 
the  son  of  Jesh'u-a,  and  Nfl-a- 
di'ah  the  son  of  Bin'nu-i,  Le - 
vites; 

34  By  number  and  by  weight 
of  every  one :  and  all  the  weight 
was  written  at  that  time. 

35  Also  the  children  of  those 
that  had  been  carried  away, 
which  were  come  out  of  the 
captivity,  offered  burnt  offer- 
ings unto  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
twelve  bullocks  for  all  Ia'ra-el, 
ninety  and  six  rams,  seventy 
and  seven  lambs,  twelve  he 
goats  for  a  sin  offering :  all  this 
was  a  burnt  offering  unto  the 
Lord. 

36  And  they  delivered  the 
king's  commissions  unto  the 
king's  lieutenants,  and  to  the 
governors  on  this  side  the  river: 
and  they  furthered  the  people, 
and  the  house  of  God. 

CHAPTER  9 

Ezra  mourn*  for  the  affinity  o/  the 
people  with  strangers.  5  and  pray* 
to  God. 

NOW  when  these  things  were 
done,  the  princes  came  to 
me,  saying*  The  people  of  Ia'- 
ra-el, and  the  priests,  and  the 
Le^vites,  have  not  separated 
themselves  from  the  people  of 
the  lands,  doing  according  to 
their  abominations,  even  of  the 
Crnaan-ites,  the  Hlt'tites,  the 
PeVIwntes,  the  JeVu-sites,  the 
Am'mon-ites,  the  Mu'ab-ites,  the 
E-gfp'tians,  and  the  Am'dr-ites. 

2  For  they  have  taken  of  their 
daughters  for  themselves,  and 
fox  their  sons:  so  that  the  holy 
seed  have  mingled  themselves 
with  the  people  of  those  lands : 
yea,  the  hand  of  the  princes  and 
rulers  hath  been  chief  in  this 

3  And  when  I  heard  this  thing, 
I  rent  my  garment  and  my  man- 
tle, and  plucked  off  the  hair  of 
my  head  and  of  my  beard,  and 
sat  down  astonied. 


4  Then  were  assembled  unto 
me  every  one  that  trembled  at 
the  words  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
because  of  the  transgression  of 
those  that  had  been  carried 
away;  and  I  sat  astonied  until 
the  evening  sacrifice. 

5  IT  And  at  the  evening  sacri- 
fice I  arose  up  from  my  heavi- 
ness; and  having  rent  my  gar- 
ment and  my  mantle,  I  fell  up- 
on my  knees,  and  spread  out 
my  hands  unto  the  Lord  my 
God, 

6  And  said*  O  my  God,  I  am 
ashamed  and  blush  to  lift  up 
my  face  to  thee,  my  God :  for 
our  iniquities  are  increased  over 
our  head,  .and  our  trespass  is 
grown  up  unto  the  heavens. 

7  Since  the  days  of  our  fathers 
have  we  been  in  a  great  trespass 
unto  this  day;  and  for  our  in- 
iquities have  we,  our  kings,  and 
our  priests,  been  delivered  into 
the  hand  of  the.  kings  of  the 
lands,  to  the  sword,  to  captiv- 
ity, and  to  a  spoil,  and  to  con- 
fusion of  face,  as  it  is  this  day. 

8  And  now  for  a  little  space 
grace  hath  been  shewed  from 
the  Lord  our  God,  to  leave  us  a 
remnant  to  escape,  and  to  give 
us  a  nail  in  his  holy  place,  that 
our  God  may  lighten  our  eyes, 
and  give  us  a  little  reviving  in 
our  bondage.  < 

9  For  we  were  bondmen ;  yet 
our  God  hath  not  forsaken  us 
in  our  bondage,  but  bath  extend- 
ed mercy  unto  us  in  the  sight  of 
the  kings  of  Per'sia,  to  give  us 
a  reviving,  to  set  up  the  house  of 
our  God,  and  to  repair  the  deso- 
lations thereof,  and  to  give  us  a 
wall  in  Jii'dah  and  in  Je-ru'sa- 
lem. 

10  And  now,  O  our  God,  what 
shall  we  say  after  this  ?  for  we 
have  forsaken  thy  command- 
ments, 

11  Which  thou  hast  command- 
ed by  thy  servants  the  prophets, 
saying,  The  land,  unto  which  ye 
go  to  possess  it,  is  an  unclean 
land  with  the  filthiness  of  the 
people  of  the  lands,  with  their 
abominations,  which  have  filled 
it  from  one  end  to  another  with 
their  uncleatrness. 

12  Now  therefore  give  not 
your  daughters  unto  their  sons, 
neither  take  their  daughters 
unto  your  sons,  nor  seek  their 
peace  or  their  wealth  for  ever : 
that  ye  may  be  strong,  and  eat 
the  good  of  the  land,  and  leave 
it  for  an  inheritance  to  your 
children  for  even 

13  And  after  all  that  is  cornel 
upon  us  for  our  evil  deeds,  and

for  oar  great  trespass,  seeing 
that  thou  our  God  hast  nunished 
tts  less  than  our  iniquities  de- 
serve, and  hast  given  us  such 
deliverance  as  this ; 

14  Should  we  again  break  thy 
commandments,  and  join  in  af- 
finity with  the  people  of  these 
abominations?  wouMest  not 
thou  be  angry  with  us  till 
thou  hadst  consumed  us,  so 
that  there  should  be  no  rem- 
nant nor  escaping? 

15  0  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
thou  art  righteous :  for  we  re- 
main yet  escaped,  as  it  is  this 
day:  behold,  we  are  before 
thee  in  our  trespasses :  for  we 
cannot  stand  before  thee  be- 
cause of  this. 

CHAPTER  10 

Ezra  reforms  the  strange  marriages. 
18  Those  that  had  taken  strange 
wives. 

NOW  when  fii'ra  had  prayed, 
andwhenhehad  confessed, 
weeping  and  casting  himself 
down  before  the  house  of  God, 
there  assembled  unto  him  out  of 
lfi'ra-el  a  very  great  congrega- 
tion of  men  and  women  and 
children:  for  the  people  wept 
very  sore. 

2  And  Shech-a-nl'ah  the  son  of 
Jg-hi'el,  one  of  the  sons  of  fflfim, 
answered  and  said  unto  Ez'ra, 
We  have  trespassed  against  our 
God,  and  have  taken  strange 
wives  of  the  people  of  the  land 
yet  now  there  is  hope  in  lfi'ra-el 
concerning  this  thing. 

3  Now  therefore  let  us  make 
a  covenant  with  our  God  to  put 
away  all  the  wives,  and  such  as 
are  born  of  them,  according  to 
the  counsel  of  my  lord,  and  of 
those  that  tremble  at  the  com- 
mandment of  our  God ;  and  let 
it  be  done  according  to  the  law. 

4  Arise;  for  this  matter  be- 
longeth  unto  thee:  wealsowttf 
be  with  thee:  be  of  good  cour- 

T,  and  do  it. 
Then  arose  ftz"ra,  and  made 
the  chief  priests,  the  LeVltes, 
and  all  Is/ra-el,  to  swear  that 
they  should  do  according  to  this 
word.    And  they  sware. 

6  Then  fig'ra  rose  up  from  be- 
fore the  house  of  God,  and  went 
into  the  chamber  of  J6-hS'nan 
the  son  of  £Vli'a-shIb :  and  when 
he  came  thither,  he  did  eat  no 
bread,  nor  drink  water:  for  he 
mourned  because  of  the  trans- 
gression of  them  that  had  been 
carried  away. 

7  And  they  made  proclama- 
tion throughout  Ju'dan  and  J$- 
ru'st4£m  unto  all  the  children 
of    the   captivity,   that    they 


should  gather  themselves  to- 
gether unto  JeHru'sS-lem; 

8  And  that  whosoever  would 
not  come  within  three  days, 
cording  to  the  counsel  of  the 
princes- and  the  elders,  all  his 
substance  should  be  forfeited, 
and  himself  separated  from  the 
congregation  of  those  that  had 
been  carried  away. 

9  IT  Then  all  the  men  of  Ju'- 
dah  and  Ben'ja-mln  gathered 
themselves  together  unto  J6- 
ru'si-lSm  within  three  days.  It 
was  the  ninth  month,  on  the 
twentieth  day  of  the  month; 
and  all  the  people  sat  in  the 
street  of  the  house  of  God, 
trembling  because  of  this  mat- 
ter, and  for  the  great  rain. 

10  And  fi*Ya  the  priest  stood 
up,  and  said  unto  them,  Ye  have 
transgressed,  and  have  taken 
strange  wives,  to  increase  the 
trespass  of  lfi'ra-el. 

11  Now  therefore  make  con- 
fession unto  the  Lord  God  of 
your  fathers,  and  do  his  pit 
ure:  and  separate  yourselves 
from  the  people  of  the  land, 
and  from  the  strange  wives. 

12  Then  all  the  congregation 
answered  and  said  with  a  loud 
voice,  As  thou  hast  said,  so  must 
we  do. 

13  But  the  people  are  many, 
and  it  is  sl  time  of  much  rain, 
and  we  are  not  able  to  stand 
without,  neither  is  this  a  work 
of  one  day  or  two:  for  we  are 
many  that  have  transgressed  in 
this  thing. 

14  Let  now  our  rulers  of  all 
the  congregation  stand,  and  let 
all  them  which  have  taken 
strange  wives  in  our  cities  come 
at  appointed  'times,  and  with 
them  the  elders  of  every  city, 
and  the  judges  thereof,  until 
the  fierce  wrath  of  our  God 
for  this  matter  be  turned  from 
us. 

15  Only  Jon'a-than  the  son  of 
A'sa-hel  and  Ji-hS-zi'ah  the  son 
of  TIk'vah  were  employed  about 
this  matter :  and  MfrshuTlam 
and  ShaVbe-thai  the  Le'vlte 
helped  them. 

16  And  the  children  of  the 
captivity  did  so.  And  Ez'ra  the 
priest,  with  certain  chief  of  the 
fathers,  after  the  house  of  their 
fathers,  and  all  of  them  by  their 
names,  were  separated,  and  sat 
down  in  the  nrst  day  of  the 
tenth  month  to  examine  the 
matter. 

17  And  they  made  an  end  with 
all  the  men  that  had  taken 
strange  wives  by  the  first  day 
of  the  first  month.

the  afflicted  state  of  Jerusalem, 

mourns,  fasts,  and  prays :  A  his 

fiords  of  Ne-he-mi'ah  the 
son  of  Hach-a-K'ah.  And  it 
came  to  pass  in  the  month  Chis'- 
leu,  in  the  twentieth  year,  as  I 
was  in  Shu'shan  the  palace, 

2  That  Ha-na'ni,  one  of  my 
brethren,  came,  he  and  certain 
men  of  Ju'dah;  and  I  asked 
them  concerning  the  Jews  that 
had  escaped,  which  were  left  of 
the  captivity,  and  concerning 
JS-ru/salera. 

3  And  they  said  unto  me,  The 


remnant  that  are  left  of  the 
captivity  there  in  the  province 
are  in  great  affliction  and  •re- 
proach: the  wall  of  Je-ru's5- 
fem  also  is  broken  down,  and 
the  gates  thereof  are  burned 
with  fire. 

4  IT  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  I  heard  these  words,  that 
I  sat  down  and  wept,  and 
mourned  certain  days,  and 
fasted,  and  prayed  before  the 
God  of  heaven,

that  love  him  and  observe  his 
commandments : 

6  Let  thine  ear  now  be  attent- 
ive, and  thine  eyes  open,  that 
thou  mayest  hear  the  prayer  of 
thy  servant,  which  I  pray  before 
thee  now,  day  and  night,  for  the 
children  of  ls/ra-el  thy  servants, 
and  confess  the  sins  of  the  chil- 
dren of  lg'ra-el,  which  we  have 
sinned  against  thee :  both  I  and 
.my  father's  house  have  sinned. 

7  We  have  dealt  very  corrupt 
•ly  against  thee,  and  have  not 
kept  the  commandments,  nor 
the  statutes,  nor  the  judgments, 
which  thou  commandedst  thy 
servant  Mo'ses. 

8  Remember,  I  beseech  thee, 
the  word  that  thou  command- 
edst thy  servant  MO'seg,  saying, 
If  ye  transgress,  I  will  scatter 
you  abroad  among  the  nations: 

9  But  t/ye  turn  unto  me,  and 
keep  my  commandments,  and  do 
them;  though  there  were  of  you 
cast  out  unto  the  uttermost  part 
of  the  heaven,  yet  will  I  gather 
them  from  thence,  ana  will 
bring  them  unto  the  place  that 
I  have  chosen  to  set  my  name 
there. 

10  Now  these  are  thy  servants 
and  thy  people,  whom  thou  hast 
redeemed  by  thy  great  power, 
and  by  thy  strong  hand. 

11  0  Lord,  I  beseech  thee,  let 
now  thine  ear  be  attentive  to 
the  prayer  of  thy  servant,  and  to 
the  prayer  of  thy  servants,  who 
desire  to  fear  thy  name:  and 
prosper,  I  pray  thee,  thy  servant 
this  day,  and  grant  him  mercy 
in  the  sight  of  this  man.  For  I 
was  the  king's  cupbearer.  • 

CHAPTER  2 

Artaxerxes,  understanding  the  cause 
of  Nehemiah*8  sadness,  sends  him 
with  letters  and  a  commission  to 
build  again  the  wall  of  Jerusalem, 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
'month  NTsan,  in  the  twen- 
tieth year  of  Ar-ta$-€rx'§8  the 
king,  that  wine  was  before  him : 
and  I  took  up  the  wine,  and 
gave  it  unto  the  king.  Now  I 
had  not  been  beforetvme  sad  in 
his  presence. 

2  Wherefore  the  king  said  un- 
to me,  Why  is  thy  countenance 
sad,  seeing  thou  art  not  sick? 
this  is  nothing  else  but  sorrow 
of  heart  Then  I  was  very  sore 
afraid, 

3  And  said  unto  the  king,  Let 
the  king  live  for  ever:  why 
should  not  my  countenance  be 
sad,  when  the  city,  the  place  of 
my  fathers'  sepulchres,  lieth 
waste,  and  the  gates  thereof  are 
consumed  with  fire? 


4  Then  the  king  said  unto  me, 
For  what  dost  thou  make  re- 
quest ?  So  I  prayed  to  the  God 
of  heaven. 

5  And  I  said  nnto  the  king, 
If  it  please  the  king,  and  if 
thy  servant  have  found  favour 
in  thy  sight,  that  thou  wouldest 
send  me  unto  Ju'dah,  unto  the 
city  of  my  fathers'  sepulchres, 
that  I  may  build  it 

6  And  the  king  said  unto  me, 
(the  queen  also  sitting  by  him,) 
For  how  long  shall  thy  journey 
be  ?  and  when  wilt  thou  return  ? 
So  it  pleased  the  king  to  send 
me;  and  I  set  him  a  time. 

7  Moreover  I  said  unto  the 
king,  If  it  please  the  king,  let 
letters  be  given  me  to  the  gov- 
ernors beyond  the  river,  that 
they  may  convey  me  over  till  I 
come  into  Ju'dah ; 

8  And  a  letter  unto  A'saph  the 
keeper  of  the  king's  forest,  that 
he  may  give  me  timber  to  make 
beams  for  the  gates  of  the  pal- 
ace which  appertained  to  the 
house,  and  for  the  wall  of  the 
city,  and  for  the  house  that  I 
shall  enter  into.  And  the  king 
granted  me,  according  to  the 
good  hand  of  my  God  upon  me. 

9  IT  Then  I  came  to  the  gover- 
nors beyond  the  river,  and  gave 
them  the  king's  letters.  Now 
the  king  had  sent  captains 
of  the  army  and  horsemen 
with  me. 

10  When  San-baTlat  the  H&V- 
o-nl te,  and  Td-bl'ah  the  servant, 
the  Am'mon-ite,  heard  of  it,  it 
grieved  them  exceedingly  that 
there  was  come  a  man  to  seek 
the  welfare  of  the  children  of 
ls/ra-el. 

11  H  So  I  came  to  JS-ru'sa'-lem, 
and  was  there  three  days. 

12  And  I  arose  in  the  night,  I 
and  some  few  men  with  me; 
neither  told  I  aim  man  what 
my  God  had  put  in  my  heart  to 
do  at  JS-ru'sa-lem :  neither  was 
there  any  beast  with  me,  save 
the  beast  that  I  rode  upon. 

13  And  I  went  out  bv  night  by 
the  gate  of  the  valley,  even 
before  the  dragon  well,  and 
to  the  dung  port,  and  viewed 
the  walls  of  J$-rji's&4em,  which 
were  broken  down,  and  the 
gates  'thereof  were  consumed 
with  fire. 

14  Then  I  went  on  to  the  gate 
of  the  fountain,  and  to  the 
king's  pool :  but  there  was  no 
place  for  the  beast  that  was 
under  me  to  pass. 

15  Then  went  I  up  in  the 
night  by  the  brook,  and  viewed 
the  wall,  and  turned  back;  and

16  And  the  rulers  knew'  not 
whither  I  went,  or  what  I  did; 
neither  had  I  as  yet  told  it  to 
the  Jews,  nor  to  the  priests,  nor 
to  the  nobles,  nor  to  the  rulers, 
nor  to  the  rest  that  did  the 
work. 

17  Then  said  I  unto  them.  Ye 
see  the  distress  that  we  are  in, 
how  JeVru's§4em  lieth  waste, 
and  the  gates  thereof  are 
burned  with  fire :  come,  and  let 
us  build  up  the  wall  of  JeVrjl'sfi- 
l&n,  that  we  be  no  more  a  re- 
proach. 

18  Then  I  told  them  of  the 
hand  of  my  God  which  was 
good  upon  me ;  as  also  the  king's 
words  that  he  had  spoken  unto 
me.  And  they  said,  Let  us  rise 
up  and  build.  So  they  strength- 
ened their  hands  for  this  good 
work. 

19  But  when  San-baTlat  the 
H5r'o-nite,  and  TMri'ah  the 
servant,  the  Am*mon-rte,  and 
GS'shSm  the  A-rffbi-an,  heard 
it,  they  laughed  us  to  scorn, 
and  despised  us,  and  said,  What 
is  this  thing  that  ye  do?  will 
ye  rebel  against  the  king? 

20  Then  answered  I  them,  and 
said  unto  them,  The  God  of 
heaven,  he  will  prosper  us; 
therefore  we  his  servants  will 
arise  and  build:  but  ye  have 
no  portion,  nor  right,  nor  me- 
morial, in  JS-ru'sfi-fem.

3  But  the  fish  gate  did  the

13  The  valley  gate  repaired

BUT  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  Sfin-baTlat  heard 
that  we  builded  the  wall,  he 
was  wroth,  and  took  great  in- 
dignation,, and  mocked  the 
Jew* 

2  And  he  spake  .before  his 
brethren  and  the  army  of  S£- 
mfl'ri-a,  and  said,  What  do  these 
feeble  Jews?  will  they,  fortify 
themselves  ?  will  they  sacrifice  ? 
will  they  make  an  end  in  a  day  ? 
will  they  revive  the  stones  out

Even  that  which  they  build,  if 
a  fox  go  up,  he  shall  even  break 
down  their  stone  wall. 

4  Hear,  Q  our  God ;  for  we  are 
despised:  and  turn  their  re- 
proach upon  their  own  head, 
and  give  them  for  a  prey  in  the 
land  of  captivity  i. 

5  And  cover  not  their  iniquity, 
and  let  not  their  sin  he  blotted 
out  from  before  thee:  for  they 
have  provoked  thee. to  anger 
before  the  builders. 

6  So  built  we  the  wall;  and 
all  the  wall  was  joined  together 
unto  the  half  thereof:  for  the 
people  had  a  mind  to  work. 

7  If  But  it  came,  to  pass,  that 
when  S&n-baTlat,  and  To-bl'ah, 
and  the  A-raltf-ans,  and  the 
Am'mon-ites,  and  the  Ash'dod- 
ites,  heard  that  the  walls  of  J£- 
ru'sfi-lem  were  made  up,  and 
that-  the  breaches  began  to  be 
stopped;  then  they  were  very 
wroth* 

8  And  conspired  all  of  them 
together  to  come  and  to  fight 
against  J€-ru's&-l£m,  and  to 
hinder  it. 

9  Nevertheless  we  made  our 
prayer  unto  our  God,  and  set  a 
watch  against  them  day  and 
night,  because  of  them.

much  rubbish ;  so  that  we  are 
not  able  to  build  the  wall 

11  And  our  adversaries  said, 
They  shall  not  know,  neither 
see,  til!  we  come  in  the  midst 
among  them,  and  slay  them, 
and  cause  the  work  to  cease. 

12  HAnd  it  came  to  pass/  that 
when  the  Jews  which  dwelt  by 
them  came,  they  said  unto  us 
ten  times,  Prom  all  places 
whence  ve  shall  return  unto  us 
they  will  be  upon  you. 

13  Therefore  set  I  in  the  lower 
places  behind  the  wall,  and  on 
the  higher  places,  I  even  set 
the  people  after  their  families 
with  their  swords,  their  spears, 
and  their  bows. 

14  And  I  looked,  and  rose  up, 
and  said  unto  the  nobles,  and 
to  the  rulers,  and  to  the  rest  of 
the  people,  Be  not  ye  afraid  of 
them:  remember  the  Lord, 
which  is  great  and  terrible, 
and  fight  for  your  brethren, 
your  sons,  and  your  daughters, 
your  wives,  and  your  houses. 

15  And  it  came  to  nass,  when 
our  enemies  heard  that  it  was 
known  unto  us,  and  God  had 
brought  their  counsel  to  nought, 
that  we  returned  all  of  us  to 
the  wall,  every  one  unto  his 
work. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  from 
that  time  forth,  that  the  half 
of  my  servants  wrought  in  the 
work,  and  the  other  half  of 
them  held  both  the  spears,  the 
shields,  and  the  bows,  and  the 
habergeons;  and  the  rulers 
were  behind  all  the  house  of 
Jtl'dah. 

17  They  which  builded  on  the 
wall,  and  they  that  bare  bur- 
dens, with  those  that  laded, 
every  one  with  one  of  his  hands 
wrought  in  the  work,  and  with 
the  other  hand  held  a  weapon. 

18  For  the  builders,  every  one 
had  his  sword  girded  by  his  side, 
and  so  builded.  And  he  that 
sounded  the  trumpet  was  by 
me. 

19  And  I  said  unto  the  nobles, 
and  to  the  rulers,  and  to  the 
rest  of  the  people,  The  work  is 
great  and  large,  and  we  are 
separated  upon  the  wall,  one 
far  from  another. 

20  In  what  place  therefore  ye 
hear  the  sound  of  the  trumpet, 
resort  ye  thither  unto  us:  our 
God  shall  fight  for  us. 

21  So  we  laboured  in  the 
work:  and  half  of  them  held 
the  spears  from  the  rising  of 
the  morning  till  the  stars  ap- 
peared. 

22  Likewise  at  the  same  time 


said  I  unto  the  people,  Let  every 
one  with  his  servant  lodge  with- 
in JS-ru/sdVlem,  that  in  the  night 
they  may  be  a  guard  to  us,  and 
labour  on  the  day. 
23  So  neither  I,  nor  my  bretb 
ren,  nor  my  servants,  nor  the 
men  of  the  guard  which  fol- 
lowed me,  none  of  us  put  off  our 
clothes,  saving  that  every  one 
put  them  off  for  washing. 

CHAPTER  5 

The  people  complain  of  their  debt, 
mortgage,  and  bondage.  6  The 
•ueurere  rebuked,  etc 

AND  there  was  a  great  cry 
of  the  people  and  of  their 
wives  against  their  brethren 
the  Jews. 

2  For  there  were  that  said,  We, 
our  sons,  and  our  daughters, 
are  many:  therefore  we  take 
up  corn  Jor  them,  that  we  may 
eat,  and  live. 

3  Some  also  there  were  that 
said,  We  have  mortgaged  our 
lands*  vineyards,  and  houses, 
that  we  might  buy  corn,  be- 
cause of  the  dearth. 

4  There  were  also  that  said, 
We  have  borrowed  money  for 
the  king's  tribute,  and  that  up- 
on our  lands  and  vineyards. 

5  Yet  now  our  flesh  is  as  the 
flesh  of  our  brethren,  our  chil- 
dren as  their  children :  and,  lo, 
we  bring  into  bondage  our  sons 
and  our  daughters  to  be  serv- 
ants, and  some  of  our  daughters 
are  brought  unto  bondage  al- 
ready:  neither  is  it  in  our 
power  to  redeem  them;  for 
other  men  have  our  lands  and 
vineyards. 

6  if  And  I  was  very  angry 
when  I  heard  their  cry  and 
these  words. 

7  Then  I  consulted  with  my- 
self, and  I  rebuked  the  nobles, 
and  the  rulers,  and  said  unto 
them,  Ye  exact  usury,  every 
one  of  his  brother.  And  I  set  a 
great  assembly  against  them. 

8  And  I  said  unto  them,  We 
after  our  ability  have  redeemed 
our  brethren  the  Jews,  which 
were  sold  unto  the  heathen; 
and  will  ye  even  sell  your  breth- 
ren ?  or  shall  they  be  sold  unto 
us  ?  Then  held  they  their  peace, 
and  found  nothing  to  answer. 

9  Also  I  said,  It  is  not  good 
that  ye  do:  ought  ye  not  to 
walk  in  the  fear  of  our  God 
because  of  the  reproach  of  the 
heathen  our  enemies  ? 

10  I  likewise,  and  my  breth- 
ren, and  my  servants,  might  ex- 
act of  them  money  and  corn :  I 
pray  you,  let  us  leave  off  this 
usury.

11  Restore,  I  pray  you,  to  them, 
even  this  dav,  their  lands,  their 
vineyards,  their  oliveyards,  and 
their  houses,  also  the  hundredth 
part  of  the  money,  and  of  the 
corn,  the  wine,  and  the  oil,  that 
ye  exact  of  them. 

12  Then  said  they,  We  will 
restore  them,  and  will  require 
nothing  of  them ;  so  will  we  do 
as  thou  sayest  Then  I  called 
the  priests,  and  took  an  oath  of 
them,  that  they  should  do  ac- 
cording to  this  promise. 

13  Also  I  shook  my  lap,  and 
said,  So  God  shake  out  every 
man  from  his  house,  and  from 
his  labour,  that  perf  ormeth  not 
this  promise,  even  thus  be  he 
shaken  out,  and  emptied.  And 
all  the  congregation  said, 
A-mSn',  and  praised  the  Lord. 
And  the  people  did  according  to 
this  promise. 

14  1  Moreover  from  the  time 
that  I  was  appointed  to  be  their 
governor  in  the  land  of.  Ju'dah, 
from  the  twentieth  year  even 
unto  the  two  and  thirtieth  year 
of  Ar-taj-exx'ea  the  king,  that 
ts,  twelve  years,  I  and  my  breth- 
ren have  not  eaten  the  bread  of 
the  governor. 

15  But  the  former  governors 
that  had  been  before  me  were 
chargeable  unto  the  people,  and 
had  taken  of  them  bread  and 
wine,  beside  forty  shekels  of 
silver ;  vea,  even  their  servants 
bare  rule  over  the  people:  but 
so  did  not  I,  because  of  the  fear 
of  God. 

16  Yea,  also  I  continued  in 
the  work  of  this  wall,  neither 
bought  we  any  land:  and  all  my 
servants  were  gathered  thither 
unto  the  work. 

17  Moreover  there  were  at 
my  table  an  hundred  and  fifty 
of  the  Jews  and  rulers,  beside 
those  that  came  unto  us  from 
among  the  heathen  that  are 
about  us. 

18  Now  that  which  was  pre- 
pared/or me  daily  woe  one  ox 
and  six  choice  sheep ;  also  fowls 
were  prepared  for  me,  and  once 
in  ten  days  store  of  all  sorts  of 
wine :  yet  for  all  this  required 
not  I  the  bread  of  the  governor, 
because  the  bondage  was  heavy 
upon  this  people. 

19  Think  upon  me,  my  God, 
for  good,  according  to  ail  that 
I  have  done  for  this  people*

wall  finished.  17  Secret  intelli- 
gence bstwssn  ths  enemies  and  the 
nobles  of  Judah. 


NOW  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Sin-ballat,  and  T6-bi'ah, 
and  GS'shem  the  A-rifti-an,  and 
the  rest  of  our  enemies,  heard 
that  I  had  builded  the  wall,  and 
that  there  was  no  breach  left 
therein;  (though  at  that  time 
I  had.  not  set  up  the  doors  upon 
the  gates;). 

2  That  S&n-b&Tlat  and  GT- 
shexn.  sent  unto  me,  saying, 
Come,  let  us  meet  together  in 
some  one  of  the  villages  in  the 
plain  of  O'nd.  But  they  thought 
to  do  me  mischief. 

3  And  I  sent  messengers  unto 
them,  saying,  I  am  doing  a 
great  work,  so.  that  I  cannot 
come  down:  why  should  the 
work  cease,  whilst  I  leave  it, 
and  come  down  to  you? 

4  Yet  they  sent  unto  me  four 
times  after  this  sort;  and  I  an- 
swered them  after  the  same 
manner. 

5  IT  Then  sent  San-bal1at  his 
servant  unto  me  in  like  manner 
the  fifth  time  with  an  open 
letter  in  his  hand; 

6  Wherein  was  written,  It  is 
reported  among  the  heathen, 
and  Gftsh'mu  salth  it,  that  thou 
and  the  Jews  think  to  rebel :  for 
which  cause  thou  buildest  the 
wall,  that  thou  mayest  be  their 
king,  according  to  these  words. 

7  And  thou  hast  also  appointed 
prophets  to  preach  of  thee  at 
Je-ru/sS-lem,  saying,  There  is  a 
king  in  J&'dah :  and  now  shall 
it  be  reported  to  the  king  ac- 
cording to  these  words.  Come 
now  therefore,  and  let  us  take 
counsel  together. 

8  Then  f  sent  unto  him,  say- 
ing, There  are  no  such  things 
done  as  thou  sayest,  but  thou 
feignest  them,  out  of  thine  own 
heart 

9  For  they  all  made  us  afraid, 
saying,  Their  hands  shall  be 
weakened  from  the  work,  that 
it  be  not  done.    Now  therefore, 

0  God,  strengthen  my  hands. 

10  11  Afterward  I  came  unto 
the  house  of  Shem«a-i'ah  the 
son  of  DeWi'ah  the  son  of  Me- 
h£t'a-beel,  who  was  shut  up; 
and  he  said.  Let  us  meet  to- 
gether in  the  house  of  God, 
within  the  temple,  and  let  us 
shut  the  doors  of  the  temple: 
for  they  will  come  to  slay  thee; 
yea,  in  the  night  will  they  come 
to  slay  thee. 

11  And  I  said,  Should  such  a 
man  as  I  flee  ?  and  who  is  there, 
that,  being  as  I  am,  would  go 
into  the  temple  to  save  his  life  ? 

1  will  not  go  in. 

12  And,  lo,  I  perceived  that

God  had  not  sent  him ;  hut  that 
he  pronounced  this  prophecy 
against  me:  for  Td-bi'ah  and 
San-ballat  had  hired  him. 

13  Therefore  was  he  hired, 
that  I  should  be  afraid,  and  do 
so,  and  sin,  and  that  they  might 
have  matter  for  an  evil  report, 
that  they  might  reproach  me. 

14  My  God,  think  thou  upon 
Td-bi'ah  and  San-ballat  accord- 
ing to  these  their  works,  and  on 
the  prophetess  Nd-a-di'ah,  and 
the  rest  of  the  prophets,  that 
would  have  put  me  in  fear. 

15  If  So  the  wall  was  finished 
in  the  twenty  and  fifth  day  of 
the  month  KM,  in  fifty  and 
two  days. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  all  our  enemies  heard 
thereof,  and  all  the  heathen 
that  were  about  us  saw  these 
things,  they  were  much  cast 
down  in  their  own  eyes:  for 
they  perceived  that  this  work 
was  wrought  of  our  God. 

17  %  Moreover  in  those  days 
the  nobles  of  Ju'dah  sent  many 
letters  unto  Td-bi'ah,  and  the 
letters  of  T5-bi'ah  came  unto 
them. 

18  For  there  were  many  in 
Ju'dah  sworn  unto  him,  because 
he  was  the  son  in  law  of  Shech- 
a-ni'ah  the  son  of  A'rab ;  and 
his  son  Jo-hfnan  had  taken  the 
daughter  of  MS-shflllam  the 
son  of  Ber-e-chfah. 

19  Also  they  reported  his  good 
deeds  before  me,  and  uttered 
my  words  to  him.  And  Td-bi'ah 
sent  letters  to  put  me  in  fear. 

CHAPTER  7 

Genealogy  of  those  who  came  at  the 
first  out  of  Babylon. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  wall  was  built,  and  I 
had  set  up  the  doors,  and  the 
porters  and  the  singers  and  the 
LS'vltes  were  appointed, 

2  That  I  gave  my  brother  H5- 
nS'ni,  and  Hfin-a-ni'ah  the  ruler 
of  the  palace,  charge  over  Je- 
ru/sa4£m:  for  he  was  a  faith- 
ful man,  and  feared  God  above 
many. 

3  And  I  said  unto  them,  Let 
not  the  gates  of  JS-ru/sa-lem  be 
opened  until  the  sun  be  hot; 
and  while  they  stand  by,  let 
them  shut  the  doors,  and  bar 
them :  and  appoint  watches  of 
the  inhabitants  of  J€-ru/sa-lem, 
every  one  in  his  watch,  and 
every  one  to  be  over  against  his 
house. 

4  IF  Now  the  city  was  large 
and  great :  but  the  people  were 
few  therein,  and  the  houses 
were  not  builded. 


5  And  my  God  put  into  mine 
heart  to  gather  together  the 
nobles,  and  the  rulers,  and  the 
people,  that  they  might  be  reck- 
oned by  genealogy.  And  I  found 
a  register  of  the  genealogy  of 
them  which  came  up  at  the  first, 
and  found  written  therein, 

6  These  are  the  children  of 
the  province,  that  went  up  out 
of  the  captivity,  of  those  that 
had  been  carried  away,  whom 
N£b-u-chad-neVzar  the  king  of 
Bab'jr-lon  had  carried  away,  and 
came  again  to  Jfrru/sa-lSm  and 
to  Ju'dah,  every  one  unto  his 
city; 

7  Who  came  with  ZS-rfib'ba- 
bel,  Jesh'u-a,  Ne-he-mi'ah,  Az-a- 
ri'ah,  Ra-a-mi'ah,  Na-h&m'a-ni, 
MdrVie-cai,  BIl'shan.Mis'pe-rfth, 
Big'va-i,N6#hum,Ba'a-nah.  The 
number,  I  say,  of  the  men  of 
the  people  of  Is/ra-el  was  this; 

8  The  children  of  Pa'rosh,  two 
thousand  an  hundred  seventy 
and  two. 

9  The  children  of  Sheph-a-tT-

hearing  the  law.    9   The  people 

comforted.    16  They  keep  the  feaet 

of  tabernacle*. 

AND  all  the  people  gathered 
themselves  together  as 
one  man  into  the  street  that 
was  before  the  water  gate ;  and 
they  spake  unto  Ez'ra  the  scribe 
to  bring  the  book  of  the  law  of 
Md'seg,  which  the  Lord  had 
commanded  to  Ig'ra-el. 

2  And  rVra  the  priest  brought 
the  law  before  the  congregation 
both  of  men  and  women,  and 
all  that  could  hear  with  under- 
standing, upon  the  first  day  of 
the  seventh  month. 

3  And  he  read  therein  before 
the  street  that  was  before  the 
water  gate  from  the  morning 
until  midday,  before  the  men 
and  the  women,  and  those  that 
could  understand ;  and  the  ears 
of  all  the  people  were  attentive 
unto  the  book  of  the  law. 

4  And  firtra  the  scribe  stood 
upon  a  pulpit  of  wood,  which 
they  had:  made  for  the  purpose ; 
and  beside  him  stood  Mfit-ti- 
thi'ah,  and  She'ma,  and  An-a- 
I'ah,  and  U-rTjah,  and  Hll-ki'ah, 
and  Ma-a-sSlah,  on  his  right 
hand ;  and  on  his  left  hand,  re- 
dfl'iah,  and  MIsh'a-el,  and  M41- 


chi'ah,  and  H&'shum,  and  Hash- 
bad'a-na,  Zech-a-ri'ah,  and  M6- 
shuTlam. 

5  And  fig'ra  opened  the  book 
in  the  sight  of  all  the  people; 
(for  he  was  above  all  the  peo- 
ple;) and  when  he  opened  it, 
all  the  people  stood  up: 

6  And  fis'ra  blessed  the  Lord, 
the  great  God.  And  all  the  peo- 
ple answered,  A-men',  A-men', 
with  lifting  up  their  hands: 
and  they  bowed  their  heads, 
and  worshipped  the  Lord  with 
their  faces  to  the  ground. 

7  Also  Jesh'u-a,  and  BS'ril,  and 
Sher-e-bl'ah,  Ja'min,  AkTriib, 
ShfiVbe-thai,  HMI'jah,  MS-a- 
sTiah,  KeTI-ta,  Ae-a-rl'ah,  J5z'a- 
b&d,  Hi'nan,  Pel-a-i'ah,  and  the 
LCvites,  caused  the  people  to 
understand  the  law:  and  the 
people  stood  in  their  place. 

8  So  they  read  in  the  book 
in  the  law  of  God  distinctly, 
and  gave  the  sense,  and  caused 
them  to  understand  the  reading. 

9  %  And  Nfi-he-mi'ah,  which  w 
the  Tir'sha-tha,  and  fir'ra  the 
priest  the  scribe,  and  the  Le"- 
vites  that  taught  the  people, 
said  unto  all  the  people,  This 
day  is  holy  unto  the  Lord  your 
God;  mourn  not,  nor  weep. 
For  all  the  people  wept,  when 
they  heard  the  words  of  the 
law. 

10  Then  he  said  unto  them, 
Go  tout  way,  eat  the  fat,  and 
drink  the  sweet,  and  send  por- 
tions unto  them  for  whom  noth- 


ing is  prepared :  for  this  day  is 
holy  unto  our  Lord :  neither  be 
ye  sorry;  for  the  jov  ©f  the 
Lord  is  your  strength. 

11  So  the  Le'vites  stilled  all 
the  people,  saying,  Hold  your 
peace,  for  the  day  is  holy; 
neither  be  y€  grieved. 

12  And  all  the  people  went 
their  way  to  eat,  and  to  drink, 
and  to  send  portions,  and  to 
make  great  mirth,  because  they 
had  understood  the  words  that 
were  declared  unto  them, 

13  H  And  on  the  second  day 
were  gathered  together  the 
chief  of  the  fathers  of  all  the 
people,  the  priests,  and  the  L*f~ 
vites,  unto  Etfra  the  scribe,  even 
to  understand  the  words  of  the 
law. 

14  And  they  found  written  in 
the  law  which  the  Lord  had 
commanded  by  Mo'ses,  that  the 
children  of  ls/ra-el  should  dwell 
in  booths  in  the  feast  of  the 
seventh  month: 

15  And  that  they  should  pub- 
lish and  proclaim  in  all  their 
cities,  and  in  JC-rjj'saVlem,  say-

tag,  Go  forth  unto  the  mount, 
and  fetch  olive  branches,  and 
pine  branches,  and  myrtle 
branches,  and  palm  branches, 
and  branches  of  thick  trees,  to 
make  booths,  as  it  is  written. 

16  So  the  people  went  forth, 
and  brought  them,  and  made 
themselves  booths,  every  one 
upon  the  roof  of  his  house,  and 
in  their  courts,  and  in  the  courts 
of  the  house  of  God,  and  in  the 
street  of  the  water  gate,  and 
in  the  street  of  the  gate  of 
E'phrft-Im. 

17  And  all  the  congregation  of 
them  that  were  come  again  out 
of  the  captivity  made  booths, 
and  sat  under  the  booths:  for 
since  the  days  of  Jesh'u*a  the 
son  of  Nun  unto  that  day  had 
not  the  children  of  Is/ra-el  done 
so.  And  there  was  very  great 
gladness. 

18  Also  day  by  day,  from  the 
first  day  unto  the  last  day,  he 
read  in  the  book  of  the  law  of 
God.  And  they  kept  the  feast 
seven  days ;  and  on  the  eighth 
day  was  a  solemn  assembly,  ac- 
cording unto  the  manner. 

CHAPTER  9 

A  solemn  fast,  and  repentance  of  the 
people.  4  Ine  Levites  confess  God' 8 
manifold  goodness,  and  their  own 
wickedness, 

NOW  in  the  twenty  and 
fourth  day  of  this  month 
the  children  of  Ig'ra-el  were  as- 
sembled with  fasting,  and  with 
sackclothes,  and  earth  upon 
them. 

2  And  the  seed  of  Is/ra-el 
separated  themselves  from  all 
strangers,  and  stood  and  con- 
fessed their  sins,  and  the  iniqui 
ties  of  their  fathers. 

3  And  they  stood  up  in  their 
place,  and  read  in  the  book  of 
the  law  of  the  Lord  their  God 
one  fourth  part  of  the  day ;  and 
another  fourth  part  they  con- 
fessed, and  worshipped  the 
Lord  their  God. 

4  Then  stood  up  upon  the 
stairs,  of  the  Le'vites,  Jesh'u-a, 
and  Ba'n!,  Kfid'mi-el,  Shtb-Ml'- 
ah,  Biin'ni,  Sher-e-bi'ah,  B&'ni, 
and  Chen'a-nf,  and  cried  with  a 
loud  voice  unto  the  Lord  their 
God. 

5  Then  the  LTvites,  Jesh'u-a, 
and  Kftd'ml-el,  B&'ni,  Hfish-ab- 
ni'ah,  Sher-e-bi'ah,  Ho-di'jah, 
SheVa-ni'ah,  and  PCth-a-hi'ah, 
said,  Stand  up  and  bless  the 
Lord  your  God  for  ever  and 
ever:  and  blessed  be  thy  glo- 
rious name,  which  is  exalted 
above  all  blessing  and  praise. 

6  Tfrour  even  thou,  art  Lord 


alone ;  thou  hast  made  heaven,  Ge.1.1. 
the  heaven  of  heavens,  with  all 
their  host,  the  earth,  and  all 
things  that  are  therein,  the 
seas,  and  all  that  is  therein, 
and  thou  preservest  them  all ; 
and  the  host  of  heaven  worship- 
ped thee. 

7  Thou  art  the  Lord  the  God, 
who  didst  choose  Alrcfim,  and 
broughtest  him  forth  out  of  Or 
of  the  ChaTdeeg,  and  gavest  him 
the  name  of  Al>r5-ham; 

8  And  foundest  his  heart 
faithful  before  thee,  and  madest 
a  covenant  with  him  to  give  the 
landof  the  Ca'nfian-ites,  the  HI t'- 
tites,  the  Am'dr-ltes,  and  the 
P€rTz-zites,  and  the  JeVu-sites, 
and  the  Gir'ga-shites,  to  give 
it,  I  say,  to  his  seed,  and  hast 
performed  thy  words ;  for  thou 
art  righteous : 

9  And  didst  see  the  affliction 
of  our  fathers  in  £*gypt,  and 
heardest  their  cry  by  the  Red 
sea; 

10  And  shewedst  signs  and 
wonders  upon  Ph&'ra5h,  and  on 
all  his  servants,  and  on  all  the 
people  of  his  land:  for  thou 
knewest  that  they  dealt  proud- 
ly against  them.  So  didst  thou 
get  thee  a  name,  as  it  is  this 
day. 

11  And  thou  didst  divide  the 
sea  before  them,  so  that  they 
went  through  the  midst  of  the 
sea  on  the  dry  land ;  and  their 
persecutors  thou  threwest  into 
the  deeps,  as  a  stone  into  the 
mighty  waters. 

12  Moreover  thou  leddest 
them  in  the  dav  by  a  cloudy 
pillar;  and  in  the  night  by  a 
pillar  of  fire,  to  give  them  light 
in  the  way  wherein  they  should 
go. 

13  Thou  earnest  down  also  up- 
on mount  Si'nai,  and  spakest 
with  them  from  heaven,  and 
gavest  them  right  judgments, 
and  true  laws,  good  statutes  and 
commandments: 

14  And  madest  known  unto 
them  thy  holy  sabbath,  and 
commandedst  them  precepts, 
statutes,  and  laws,  by  the  hand 
of  Mo'sea  thy  servant : 

15  And  gavest  them  bread 
from  heaven  for  their  hunger, 
and  broughtest  forth  water  for 
them  out  of  the  rock  for  their 
thirst,  and  promisedst  them  that 
they  should  go  in  to  possess  the 
land  which  thou  hadst  sworn  to 
give  them. 

16  But  they  and  our  fathers 
dealt  proudly,  and  hardened 
their  necks,  and  hearkened  not 
to  thy  commandments,

17  And  refused  to  obey,neither 
were  mindful  of  thy  wonders  that 
thou  didst  among  them)  but 
hardened  their  necks,  and  in 
their  rebellion  appointed- a  cap- 
tain to  return  to  their  bond- 
age :  but  thou  art  a  God  ready 
to  pardon,  gracious  and  merci- 
ful, slow  to  anger,  and  of  great 
kindness,  and  f  orsookest  them 
not 

18  Yea,  when  they  had  made 
them  a  molten  calf,  and  said, 
This  is  thy  God  that  brought 
thee  up  out  of  E'&jfpt  and  had 
wrought  great  provocations ; 

19  Yet  thou  In  thy  manifold 
mercies  forsookest  them  not  in 
the  wilderness:  the  pillar  of  the 
cloud  departed  not  from  them  by 
day,  to  lead  them  in  the  way; 
neither  the  pillar  of  fire  by 
night,  to  shew  them  light,  and 
the  way  wherein  they  should  go. 

20  Thou  gavest  also  thy  good 
spirit  to  instruct  them,  and 
withheldest  not  thy  manna  from 
their  mouth,  and  gavest  them 
water  for  their  thirst 

21  Yea,  forty  years  didst  thou 
sustain  them  in  the  wilderness, 
so  that  they  lacked  nothing; 
their  clothes  waxed  not  old,  and 
their  feet  swelled  not 

22  Moreover  thou  gavest  them 
kingdoms  and  nations,  and  didst 
divide  them  into  cornets:  so 
they  possessed  the  land  of  Si' 
h5n,  and  the  land  of  the  king 
of  Hesh'bdn,  and  the  land  of 
Og  king  of  B&'shan. 

23  Their  children  also  multi- 
pliedst  thou  as  the  stats  of  heav- 
en, and  broughtest  them  into 
the  land,  concerning  which  thou 
hadst  promised  to  their  fathers, 
that  they  should  go  in  to  pos- 
sess it. 

24  So  the  children  went  in 
and  possessed  the  land,  and 
thou  subduedst  before  them  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land,  the  C£ 
nfian-itest  and  gavest  them  into 
their  hands,  with  their  kings, 
and  the  people  of  the  land,  that 
they  might  do  with  them  as  they 
would. 

25  And  they  took  strong  cit- 
ies, and  a  fat  land,  and  possessed 
houses  full  of  all  goods,  wells 
digged,  vineyards,  and  olive- 
yards,  and  fruit  trees  in  abun- 
dance :  so  they  did  eat  and  were 
filled,  and  became  fat  and  de- 
lighted themselves  in  thy  great 
goodness. 

26  Nevertheless  they  were  dis- 
obedient and  rebelled  against 
thee,  and  cast  thy  law  behind 
their  backs,  and  slew  thy  proph- 
ets which  testified  against  them 


to  turn  them  to  thee,  and  they 
wrought  great  provocations. 

27  Therefore  thou  deliveredst 
them  into  the  hand  of  their 
enemies,  who  vexed  theme  and 
in  the  time  of  their  trouble, 
when  they  cried  unto  thee,  thou 
heardest  them  from  heaven; 
and  according  to  thy  manifold 
mercies  thou  gavest  them  sav- 
iours, who  saved  them  out  of 
the  hand  of  their  enemies. 

28  But  after  they  had  resty they 
did  evil  again  before  thee: 
therefore  leftest  thou  them  in 
the  hand  of  their  enemies,  so 
that  they  had  the  dominion 
over  them:  yet  when  they 
returned,  and  cried  unto  thee, 
thou  heardest  them  from  heav- 
en; and  many  times  didst  thou 
deliver  them  according  to  thy 
mercies; 

29  Andtestifiedstagunstthem, 
that  thou  michtest  bring  them 
again  unto  thy  law:  yet  they 
dealt  proudly,  and  hearkened 
not  unto  thy  commandments* 
but  sinned  against  thy  judg- 
ments, (which  if  a  man  do,  be 
shall  live  in  them;)  and  with- 
drew the  shoulder,  and  hard- 
ened their  neck,  and  would  not 
hear. 

30  Yet  many  years  didst  thou 
forbear  them,  and  testifiedst 
against  them  by  thy  spirit  in 
thy  prophets:  yet  would  they 
not  give  ear:  therefore  gavest 
thou  them  into  the  hand  of  the 
people  of  the  lands. 

31  Nevertheless  for  thy  great 
mercies'  sake: thou  didst  not 
utterly,  consume  them,  nor  for- 
sake them;  for  thou  art  a 
gracious  and  merciful  God. 

32  Now  therefore,  our  God, 
the  great  the  mighty,  and  the 
terrible  God.  who  keepest  cove- 
nant and  mercy,  let  not  all  the 
trouble  seem  little  before  thee, 
that  hath  come  upon  us,  on  our 
kings,  on  our  princes,  and  on 
our  priests,  and  on  our  prophets, 
and  on  our  fathers,  and  on  all 
thy  people,  since  the  time  of 
the  kings  of  As-syrl-a  unto  this 
day.  • 

33  Howbeit  thou  art  just  in  all 
that  is  brought  upon  us;  for 
thou  hast  done:  right  but  we 
have  done  wickedly :

25  Mftfta-ni'ah,  and  Bak-bfik- 
fah,  0-ba-dTah,  Me-shuTlam, 
TaTmon,  Akltftb,  were  porters 
keeping  the  ward  at  the  thresh- 
olds of  the  gates. 

26  These  were  in  the  days  of 
Joi'a-kim  the  son  of  Jesh'u-a, 
the  son  of  J5z'a-dfik,  and  in  the 
days  of  N&-he-mI'ah  the  gov- 
ernor, and  of  Cz'ra  the  priest, 
the  scribe. 

27  f  And  at  the  dedication  of 
the  wall  of  Je^ru'sfi-lem  they 
sought  the  LS'vftes  ont  of  all 
their  places,  to  bring  them  to 
J&ru'sa-lem,  to  keep  the  dedica- 
tion with  gladness,  both  with 
thanksgivings,  and  with  sing- 
ing, with  cymbals,  psalteries, 
and  with  harps. 

28  And  the  sons  of  the  singers 
gathered  themselves  together, 
Both  out  of  the  plain  country 
round  about  Je-ru'sH-lem,  and 
from  the  villages  of  N£-t5ph'a- 
thi; 

29  Also  from  the  house  of 
Gll'gal,  and  out  of  the  fields  of 
Ge"ba  and  Az'ma-vSth :  for  the 
singers  had  builded  them  vil- 
lages round  about  Je-ra'sa-lem. 

30  And  the  priests  and  the 
Legates  purified  themselves, 
and  purified  the  people,  and 
the  gates,  and  the  wall. 

31  Then  I  brought  up  the 
princes  of  Ju'dah  upon  the  wall, 
and  appointed  two  great  com- 
parties  of  them  that  gave 
thanks,  whereof  one  went  on 
the  right  hand  upon  the  wall 
toward  the  dung  gate: 

32  And  after  them  went  H6sh- 
a-i'ah,  and  half  of  the  princes 
of  Ju'dah, 

33  And  Az-a-ri'ah,  Ez'ra,  and 
MS-shuHam, 

34  Jfi'dah,  and  Ben'ja-mln,  and 
Shem-a-I'ah,  and  Jer-e-mi'ah, 

35  And  certain  of  the  priests' 
sons  with  trumpets;  namely, 
Zech-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Jfln'a- 
than,  the  son  of  Shem-a-i'ah, 
the  son  of  Mfit-ta-ni'ah,  the  son 
of  Mi-cha'iah,  the  son  of  Zfic'- 
cur,  the  son  of  A'saph : 

36  And  his  brethren,  Shem- 
a-i'ah,  and  A-aaYa-el,  Mil-a-lfil, 
Gil'a-Jai,  MS-ftl,  NS-thfin'e-el, 
and  Ju'dah,  Hfi-na'ni,  with  the 
musical  instruments  of  Da'vid 
the  man  of  God,  and  Ez'ra  the 
scribe  before  them. 

37  And  at  the  fountain  gate, 
which  was  over  against  them, 
they  went  up  by  the  stairs  of 
the  city  of  Da'vid,  at  the  going 
up  of  the  wall,  above  the  House 
of  Da'vid,  even  unto  the  water 
gate  eastward. 

38  And   the  other  company 

503 


of  them  that  gave  thanks  went 
over  against  themf  and  I  after 
them,  and  the  half  of  the  peo- 
ple upon  the  wall,  from  beyond 
the  tower  of  the  furnaces  even 
unto  the  broad  wall ; 

39  And  from  above  the  gate 
of  E'phrS-lm,  and  above  the  old 
gate,  and  above  the  fish  gate, 
and  the  tower  of  Ha-nfin  e-el, 
and  the  tower  of  Me~ah,  even 
unto  the  sheep  gate :  and  they 
stood  still  in  the  prison  gate. 

40  So  stood  the  two  compa- 
nies of  them  that  gave  thanks 
in  the  house  of  God,  and  I,  and 
the  half  of  the  rulers  with  me : 

41  And  the  priests;  fi-H'a- 
kim,  Ma-a-se'ian,  MIn1«a-min, 
Mi-cha'iah,  E-H-c-€'na-i,  Zech- 
a-ri'ah,  and  H&n-a-ni'ah,  with 
trumpets; 

42  And  Ma-a-se'iah,  and  Shem- 
a-f  ah,  and  fi-le-ft'zar,  and  Oz'zi, 
and  Je-hd-ha'nan,  and  MSl-chi'- 
jah,  and  Blfim,  and  E'ze'r.  And 
the  singers  sang  loud,  with  Jez- 
ra-hl'ah  their  overseer. 

43  Also  that  day  they  offered 
great  sacrifices,  and  rejoiced: 
for  God  had  made  them  rejoice 
with  great  joy :  the  wives  also 
and  the  children  rejoiced:  so 
that  the  joy  of  JS»ru>&4em  was 
heard  even  afar  off. 

44  IT  And  at  that  time  were 
some  appointed  over  the  cham- 
bers for  the  treasures,  for  the 
offerings,  for  the  firstfruits,  and 
for  the  tithes,  to  gather  into 
them  out  of  the  fields  of  the 
cities  the  portions  of  the  law 
for  the  priests  and  Le'vites :  for 
Jfi'dah  rejoiced  for  the  priests 
and  for  the  Le*vites  that  waited. 

45  And  both  the  singers  and 
the  porters  kept  the  ward  of 
their  God,  and  the  ward  of  the 
purification,  according  to  the 
commandment  of  David,  and 
of  SoTo-mon  his  son. 

46  For  in  the  days  of  Da'vid 
and  A'saph  of  old  there  were 
chief  of  the  singers,  and  songs 
of  praise  and  thanksgiving  unto 
God. 

47  And  all  Ig'ra-el  in  tne 
days  of  Z&ruVba-bel,  and  in 
the  days  of  Ne^he-mi'ah,  gave 
the  portions  of  the  singers 
and  the  porters,  every  day  his 
portion:  and  they  sanctified 
holy  things  unto  the  LS'vItes ; 
and  the  Lfi'vites  sanctified 
them  unto  the  children  of 
A&r'on.

ON  that  day  they  read  in  the 
book  of  Mo'ses  in  the  audi- 
ence of  the  people ;  and  therein 
was  found  written,  that  the  Am'- 
mon-ite  and  the  Mo'ab-ite  should 
not  come  into  the  congregation 
of  God  for  ever; 

2  Because  they  met  not  the 
children  of  la'ra<el  with  bread 
and  with  water,  but  hired  Ba'- 
laam  against  them,  that  he 
should  curse  them :  howbeitour 
God  turned  the  curse  into  a 
blessing. 

3  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  had  heard  the  law,  that 
they  separated  from  ls/ra-el  all 
the  mixed  multitude. 

4  t  And  before  this,  &4i'a-*hib 
the  priest,  having  the  oversight 
of  the  chamber  of  the  house  of 
our  God,  was  allied  unto  T$- 
bi'ah: 

5  And  he  had  prepared  for 
him  a  great  chamber,  where 
aforetime  they  laid  the  meat 
offerings,  the  frankincense,  and 
the  vessels,  and  the  tithes  of 
the  corn,  the  new  wine,  and 
the  oil,  which  was  commanded 
to  be  given  to  the  Le'vites,  and 
the  singers,  and  the  porters; 
and  the  offerings  of  the  priests. 

6  But  in  all  this  time  was  not 
I  at  Je-ru/sa-lem :  for  in  the  two 
and  thirtieth  year  of  Ar-tfix- 
erx'eg  king  of  B&b  y-lon  came  I 
unto  the  king,  and  after  certain 
days  obtained  I  leave  of  the 
king: 

7  And  I  came  to  J6-ru'sa-lem, 
and  understood  of  the  evil  that 
£-li'a-shU>  did  for  Td-bi'ah,  in 
preparing  him  a  chamber  in  the 
courts  of  the  house  of  God. 

.  8  And   it   grieved  me   sore 
therefore  I  cast  forth  all  the 
household  stuff  of  Td-bi'ah  out 
of  the  chamber, 

9  Then  I  commanded,  and 
they  cleansed  the  chambers] 
and  thither  brought  I  again  the 
vessels  of  the  house. of  God, 
with  the  meat  offering  and  the 
frankincense. 

10  1T  And  I  perceived  that  the 
portions  of  the  Le'vites  had  not 
been  given  them :  for  the  Le'- 
vites and  the  singers,  that  did 
the  work,  were  fled  every  one 
to  his  field. 

11  Then  contended  I  with  the 
rulers,  and  said,  Why  is  the 
house  of  God  forsaken?  And 
I  gathered  them  together,  and 
set  them  in  their  place. 

12  Then  brought  all  Ju'dah 
the  tithe  of  the  corn,  and  the 
new  wine  and  the  oil  unto  the 
treasuries. 

13  And  I  made  treasurers  over 


the  treasuries,  Shel-e-mi'ah  the 
priest,  and  Zk'ddk  the  scribe, 
and  of  the  Le'vites,  PMfi'iah: 
and  next  to  them  was  Ha'- 
nan  the  son  of  Zfic'cur,  the  son 
of  MSt-ta-nfah :  for  they  were 
counted  faithful,  and  their 
office  was  to  distribute  unto 
their  brethren. 

14  Remember  me,  O  my  God, 
concerning  this,  and  wipe  not 
out  my  good  deeds  that  I  have 
done  for  the  house  of  my  God, 
and  for  the  offices  thereof. 

15  %  In  those  days  saw  I  in  Ju'- 
dah same  treading  wine  presses 
on  the  sabbath,  and  bringing  in 
sheaves,  and  lading  asses;  as 
also  wine,  grapes,  and  figs,  and 
all  manner  of  burdens,  which 
they  brought  into  Je-ru'sS-lem 
on  the  sabbath  day :  and  I  tes- 
tified against  them  in  the  day 
wherein  they  sold  victuals. 

16  There  dwelt  men  of  Tyre 
also  therein,  which  brought  fish, 
and  all  manner  of  ware,  and  sold 
on  the  sabbath  unto  the  children 
of  Ju'dah,  and  in  Je^ru'sa-lem. 

17  Then  I  contended  with  the 
nobles  of  Ju'dah,  and  said  unto 
them.  What  evil  thing  is  this 
that  ye  do,  and  profane  the  sab- 
bath day? 

18  Did  not  your  fathers  thus, 
and  did  not  our  God  bring  all 
this  evil  upon  us,  and  upon  this 
city?  yet  ye  bring  more  wrath 
upon  Is/ra-el  by  profaning  the 
sabbath. 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  the  gates  of  J&ru/sl-lem 
began  to  be  dark  before  the  sab- 
bath, I  commanded  that  the 
gates  should  be  shut,  and 
charged  that  they  should  not 
be  opened  till  after  the  sabbath : 
and  some  of  my  servants  set  I 
at  the  gates,  that  there  should 
no  burden  be  brought  in  on  the 
sabbath  day. 

20  So  the  merchants  and  sell- 
ers of  all  kind  of  ware  lodged 
without  JS-ru.'sS.-le'm  once  or 
twice. 

21  Then  I  testified  against 
them,  and  said  unto  them,  Why 
lodge  ye  about  the  wall  ?  if  ye 
do  so  again,  I  will  lay  hands 
on  you.  From  that  time  forth 
came  they  no  more  on  the  sab* 
bath. 

22  And  I  commanded  the  Le'- 
vites that  they  should  cleanse 
themselves,  and  that  they  should 
come  and  keep  the  gates,  to 
sanctify  the  sabbath  day.  Re* 
member  me,  0  my  God,  concern' 
ing  this  also,  and  spare  me  ac- 
cording to  the  greatness  of  thy 
mercy.

23  H  In  those  days  also  saw  I 
Jews  that  had  married  wives 
of  Ash'ddd,  of  Am'mdn,  and  of 
Md'ab: 

24  And  their  children  spake 
half  in  the  speech  of  Ash  dfid, 
and  could  not  speak  in  the  Jews' 
language,  hut  according  to  the 
language  of  each  people. 

25  And  I  contended  with  them, 
and  cursed  them,  and  smote  cer- 
tain of  them,  and  plucked  off 
their  hair,  and  made  them  swear 
bv  God,  saying,  Ye  shall  not 
give  your  daughters  unto  their 
sons,  nor  take  their  daughters 
unto  your  sons,  or  for  your- 
selves. 

26  Did  not  SoTo-mon  king  of 
Is/ra-el  sin  by  these  things  ?  yet 
among  many  nations  was  there 
no  king  like  him,  who  was  be- 
loved of  his  God,  and  God  made 
him  king  over  all  Is/ra-el :  nev- 


ertheless even  him  did  outland- 
ish women  cause  to  sin. 

27  Shall  we  then  hearken  un- 
to you  to  do  all  this  great  evil, 
to  transgress  against  our  God  in 
marrying  strange  wives? 

28  Ana  one  of  the  sons  of  Joi'- 
a-da,  the  son  of  £-H'a-sh*b  the 
high  priest,  was  son-  in  law  to 
Sftn-baTlat  the  HoVo-nite :  there- 
fore I  chased  him  from  me. 

29  Remember  them,  0  my 
God,  because  they  have  defiled 
the  priesthood,  and  the  cove- 
nant of  the  priesthood,  and  of 
the  U'vites. 

30  Thus  cleansed  I  them  from 
all  strangers,  and  appointed  the 
wards  of  the  priests  and  the  Ls'- 
vites,  everyone  in  his  business ; 

31  And  for  the  wood  offering, 
at  times  appointed,  and  for  the 
firstfruits.  Remember  me,  O 
my  God,  for  good.

CHAPTER  1 

Ahasuerus  makes  royal  feasts.     10 
Vashti  displeases  Attn. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
days  of  A-h&$-3-e"rus,  (this 
is  A-has-fl-frus  which  reigned, 
from  In'dl-a  even  unto  £-thW- 
pi-a,  over  an  hnndred  and  seven 
and  twenty  provinces :) 

2  That  in  those  days,  when 
the  king  A-has-fr-e'rus  sat  on  the 
throne  of  his  kingdom,  which 
was  in  Sbu'shan  the  palace, 

3  In  the  third  year  of  his 
reign,  he  made  a  feast  unto  all 
his  princes  and  his  servants; 
the  power  of  Persia  and  Me'- 
dW,  the  nobles  and  princes  of 
the  provinces,  being  before 
him: 

4  When  he  shewed  the  riches 
of  his  glorious  kingdom  and  the 
honour  of  his  excellent  majesty 
many  days,  even  an  hundred  and 
fourscore  days. 

5  And  when  these  days  were 
expired,  the  king  made  a  feast 
unto  all  the  people  that  were 
present  in  Shu/shan  the  palace, 
both  unto  great  and  small, 
seven  days,  in  the  court  of  the 
garden  of  the  king's  palace; 

6  Where  were  white,  green, 
and  blue,  hangings,  fastened 
with  cords  of  fine  linen  and 

{►urple  to  silver  rings  and  pil- 
ars of  marble:  the  beds  were 
of  gold  and  silver,  upon  a  pave- 


ment of  red,   and  blue,  and 
white,  and  black,  marble. 

7  And  they  gave  them  drink 
in  vessels  of  gold,  (the  vessels 
being  diverse  one  from  an- 
other,) and  royal  wine  in  abun- 
dance, according  to  the  state  of 
the  king. 

&  And  the  drinking  was  ac- 
cording to  the  law;  none  did 
compel:  for  so  the  king  had 
appointed*  to  all  the  officers  of 
his  house,  that  they  should  do 
according  to  every  man's  plo 
ure. 

9  Also  Vish'ti  the  queen  made 
a  feast  for  the  women  in  the 
royal  house  which  belonged  to 
king  A-hftj-u-e'rus. 

10  TOn  the  seventh  day,  when 
the  heart  of  the  king  was  mer- 
ry with  wine,  he  commanded 
MMiu'man,  Birtha,  Har»b0'nft, 
Big'tha,  and  A-bag'tha,  Ze'th&r, 
and  Caracas,  the  seven  chamber- 
lains that  served  in  the  pres- 
ence of  A-h&s-O-e'rus  the  king, 

11  To  bring  Vfish'ti  the  queen 
before  the  king  with  the  crown 
royal,  to  shew  the  people  and 
the  princes  her  beauty:  for 
she  was  fair  to  look  on. 

12  But  the  queen  Vash'ti  re- 
fused to  come  at  the  king's 
commandment  by  his  chamber- 
lains: therefore  was  the  king 
very  wroth,  and  his  anger 
burned  in  him.

13  ITThen  the  king  said  to  the 
wise  men,  which  knew  the 
times,  (for  so  was  the  king's 
manner  toward  all  that  knew 
law  and  judgment : 

14  And  the  next  unto  him 
was  Car-she'na,  She'thar,  Ad'- 
ma-tha,  TaVshish,  Me'refi,  Mar'- 
se-na,  and  Me-mu'can,  the  seven 
princes  of  Persia  and  Me'dta, 
which  saw  the  king's  face,  and 
which  sat  the  first  in  the  king- 
dom;) 

15  What  shall  we  do  unto  the 
queen  Vash'ti  according  to  law, 
because  she  hath  not  performed 
the  commandment  of  the  king 
A-hS&-fi-€'rus  by  the  chamber- 
lains? 

16  And  MS-mU'can  answered 
before  the  king  and  the  princes, 
Vash'ti  the  queen  hath  not 
done  wrong  to  the  king  only, 
but  also  to  all  the  princes,  and 
to  all  the  people  that  are  in  all 
the  provinces  of  the  king  A-haa- 
M'rus. 

17  For  this  deed  of  the  queen 
shall  come  abroad  unto  all  wom- 
en, so  that  they  shall  despise 
their  husbands  in  their  eyes, 
when  it  shall  be  reported.  The 
king  A-h&s-a-e'rus  commanded 
Vash'ti  the  queen  to  be  brought 
in  before  him,  but  she  came 
not 

18  Likewise  shall  the  ladies 
of  PeTsia  and  Me'di-a  say  this 
day  unto  all  the  king's  princes, 
which  have  heard  of  the  deed 
of  the  queen.  Thus  shall  there 
arise  too  much  contempt  and 
wrath. 

19  If  it  please  the  kins,  let 
there  go  a  royal  commandment 
from  him,  and  let  it  be  written 
among  the  laws  of  the  Per- 
sians and  the  M§de&  that  it  be 
not  altered,  That  Vash'ti  come 
no  more  before  king  A-haa-fl-6'- 
rus;  and  let  the  king  give  her 
royal  estate  unto  another  that 
is  better  than  she. 

20  And  when  the  king's  de- 
cree which  he  shall  make  shall 
be  published  throughout  all  his 
empire,  (for  it  is  great,)  all  the 
wives  shall  give  to  their  hus- 
bands honour,  both  to  great 
and  small. 

21  And  the  saying  pleased  the 
king  and.  the  princes;  and  the 
king  did  according  to  the  word 
of  Me-imVcan : 

22  For  he  sent  letters  into  all 
the  king's  provinces,  into  every 
province  according  to  the  writ- 
ing thereof,  and  to  every  peo- 
ple after  their  language,  that 
every  man  should  bear  rule  in 
his   own    house,  and   that   it 


should  be  published  according 
to  the  language  of  every  peo- 
ple. 

CHAPTER  2 

Either  ehoeen  to  be  queen.  21  Mor~ 
decai,  discovering  a  treason,  ia  re- 
corded in  the  chronicles. 

AFTER  these  things,  when 
the  wrath  of  king  A-h&a-u- 
S'rus  was  appeased,  he  remem- 
bered Vash  ti,  and  what  she  had 
done,  and  what  was  decreed 
against  her. 

2  Then  said  the  king's  serv- 
ants that  ministered  unto  him. 
Let  there  be  fair  young  virgins 
sought  for  the  king : 

3  And  let  the  king  appoint 
officers  in  all  the  provinces  of 
his  kingdom,  that  they  may 
gather  together  all  the  fair 
young  virgins  unto  Shu'shan 
the  palace,  to  the  house  of  the 
women,  unto  the  custody  of 
Hg'ge  the  king's  chamberlain, 
keeper  of  the  women;  and  let 
their  things  for  purification  be 
given  them : 

4  And  let  the  maiden  which 
pleaseth  the  king  be  queen  in- 
stead of  Vash'ti.  And  the  thing 
pleased  the  king ;  and  he  did  so. 

5  t  Now  in  Shu'shan  the  pal- 
ace there  was  a  certain  Jew, 
whose  name  was  Mdr'de-d&i, 
the  son  of  Ja'ir,  the  son  of 
Shim'e-i,  the  son  of  Kish,  a 
Ben'ja-mite; 

6  Who  had  been  carried  away 
from  Je^ru'sa-iem  with  the  cap- 
tivity which  had  been  carried 
away  with  Jec-o-ni'ah  king  of 
JO'dah,  whom  NSb-u-chad-nfe'- 
zar  the  king  of  B&b'y-lon  had 
carried  away. 

7  And  he  brought  up  H£-dIs'- 
sah,  that  is,  fis'ther,  his  uncle's 
daughter:  for  she  had  neither 
father  nor  mother,  and  the 
maid  was  fair  and  beautiful; 
whom  Mor'de-cai,  when  her  fa- 
ther and  mother  were  dead, 
took  for  his  own  daughter. 

8  IT  So  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  king's  commandment  and 
his  decree  was  heard,  and  when 
many  maidens  were  gathered 
together  unto  Shu'shan  the  pal- 
ace, to  the  custody  of  HSg'a-i, 
that  fis'ther  was  brought  also 
unto  the  king's  house,  to  the 
custody  of  HSg'a-i,  keeper  of 
the  women. 

9  And  the  maiden  pleased 
him,  and  she  obtained  kind- 
ness  of  him;  and  he  speedily 
gave  her  her  things  for  purifi- 
cation, with  such  things  as  be- 
longed to  her,  and  seven  maid- 
ens, which  were  meet  to  be 
given  her,  out  of  the  king's

house :  and  he  preferred  her  and 
her  maids  unto  the  best  place 
of  the  house  of  the  women. 

10  fis'ther  had  not  shewed  her 
people  nor  her  kindred:  for  Mor'- 
de-cai had  charged  her  that  she 
should  not  shew  it. 

11  And  Mdr'de-cal  walked 
every  day  before  the  court  of 
the  women's  house,  to  know  how 
Es'ther  did,  and  what  should 
become  of  her. 

12  IT  Now  when  every  maid's 
turn  was  come  to  go  in  to  king 
A-ha>u-e'rus,  after  that-she  had 
been  twelve  months,  according 
to  the  manner  of  the  women, 
(for  so  were  the  days  of  their 
purifications  accomplished,  to 
wit,  six  months  with  oil  of 
myrrh,  and  six  months  with 
sweet  odours,  and  with  other 
things  for  the  purifying  of  the 
women ;) 

13  Then  thus  came  every 
maiden  unto  the  king;  whatso- 
ever she  desired,  was  given  her 
to  go  with  her  out  of  the  house 
of  the  women  unto  the  king's 
house. 

14  In  the  evening  she  went, 
and  on  the  morrow  she  returned 
into  the  second  house  of  the 
women,  to  the  custody  of  Shft- 
ash'gSz,  the  king's  chamberlain, 
which  kept  the  concubines :  she 
came  in  unto  the  king  no  more, 
except  the  king  delighted  in 
her,  and  that  she  were  called  by 
name. 

15  %  Now  when  the  turn  of 
fe'ther,  the  daughter  of  Ab-i- 
ha  il  the  uncle  of  Mor'de-cai, 
who  had  taken  her  for  his  daugh- 
ter, was  come  to  go  in  unto  the 
king,  she  required  nothing  but 
what  HeVa4  the  king's  cham- 
berlain, the  keeper  of  the  wom- 
en, appointed.  And  Es'ther  ob- 
tained favour  in  the  sight  of  all 
them  that  looked  upon  her. 

16  So  £s'ther  was  taken  unto 
king  A-hfta-u-g'rus  into  his  house 
royal  in  the  tenth  month,  which 
is  the  month  Te'beth,  in  the 
seventh  year  of  his  reign. 

17  And  the  king  loved  fea- 
ther above  all  the  women,  and 
she  obtained  grace  and  favour 
in  his  sight  more  than  all  the 
virgins;  so  that  he  set  the  royal 
crown  upon  her  head,  and  made 
her  queen  instead  of  VSsh'ti. 

18  Then  the  king  made  _ 
great  feast  unto  all  nis  princes 
and  his  servants,  even  Esther's 
feast ;  and  he  made  a  release  to 
the  provinces,  and  gave  gifts, 
according  to  the  state  of  the 
king. 

19  And  when  the  virgins  were 


gathered  together  the  second 
time,  then  Mor'de-cai  sat  in  the 
king's  gate. 

20  Esther  had  not  yet  shewed 
her  kindred  nor  her  people;  as 
Mor'de-cai  had  charged  her :  for 
fis'ther  did  the  commandment 
of  Mdr^de-cii,  like  as  when  she 
was  brought  up  with  him. 

21  IF  In  those  days,  while  M6r'- 
de-cai  sat  in  the  king's  gate, 
two  of  the  king's  chamberlains, 
Big'thfin  and  Te'resh,  of  those 
which  kept  the  door,  were 
wroth,  and  sought  to  lay  hand 
on  the  king  A-h3s-u-€'rus. 

22  And  the  thing  was  known 
to  Mor'de-cai,  who  told  it  unto 
Cfe'ther  the  queen ;  and  Es'ther 
certified  the  king  thereof  in 
Mor'de-caTs  name. 

23  And  when  inquisition  was 
made  of  the  matter,  it  was 
found  out;  therefore  they  were 
both  hanged  on  a  tree:  and  it 
was  written  in  the  book  of  the 
chronicles  before  the  king. 

CHAPTER  3 

Raman,  deqrised  by  Mordecai,  eeek* 
rcvmo*  on  all  the  Jew*. 

AFTER  these  things  did  king 
A-h&Sj-fi-e'rus  promote  Hfi  «r 
man  the  son  of  Ham-m&l'a-tha 
the  A'gag-ite,  and  advanced 
him,  and  set  his  seat  above  all 
the  princes  that  were  with  him. 

2  And  all  the  king's  servants, 
that  were  in  the  King's  gate, 
bowed,  and  reverencedra'man : 
for  the  king  had  so  commanded 
concerning  him.  But  Mor'de- 
cai  bowed  not,  nor  did  him 
reverence, 

3  Then  the  king's  servants, 
which  were  in  the  king's  gate, 
said  unto  Mdr'de-cal,  Why  trans- 
gressest  thou  the  king's  com- 
mandment? 

4  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  spake  daily  unto  him,  and 
he  hearkened  not  unto  them, 
that  they  told  Ha'man,  to  see 
whether  Mor'de-cpi's  matters 
would  stand:  for  he  had  told 
them  that  he  was  a  Jew.. 

5  And  when  Ha'man  saw  that 
Mor'de-cai  bowed  not,. nor  did 
him  reverence,  then  was  Ha'- 
man full  of  wrath. 

6  And  he  thought  scorn  to  lay 
hands  on  Mdr'de-cal  alone;  for 
they  had  shewed  him  the  peo- 
ple of  Mdr'de-cal:  wherefore 
Ha'man  sought  to  destroy  all 
the  Jews  that  were  throughout 
the  whole  kingdom  of  A-nag-u- 
e'rus,  even  the  people  of  Mdr'- 
de-cal.

rus,  they  cast  Pflr,  that  is,  the 
lot,  before  Hfi'man  from  day  to 
day,  and  from  month  to  month, 
to  the  twelfth  month,  that  is, 
the  month  A'diir. 

8  IT  And  Ha'man  said  unto 
king  A-hfts/U-fe'rus,  There  is  a 
certain  people  scattered  abroad 
and  dispersed  among  the  peo- 

ile  in  all  the  provinces  of  thy 
ingdom;  and  their  laws  are 
diverse  from  all  people ;  neither 
keep  they  the  king's  laws: 
therefore  it  i*  not  for  the  king's 
profit  to  suffer  them. 

9  If  it  please  the  king,  let  it 
be  written  that  they  may  be  de- 
stroyed :  and  I  will  pay  ten  thou- 
sand talents  of  silver  to  the 
hands  of  those  that  have  the 
charge  of  the  business,  to  bring 
it  intd  the  king's  treasuries. 

10  And  the  king  took  his  ring 
from  his  hand,  and  gave  it  unto 
Ha'man  the  son  of  HSm-mSd'- 
a-tha  the  A'gag-ite,  the  Jews/ 
enemy. 

11  And  the  king  -said  unto 
HS'man,  The  silver  is  given  to 
thee,  the  people  also,  to  do  with 
them  as  it  seemeth  good  to  thee. 

12  Then  were  the  king's 
scribes  called  on  the  thirteenth 
day  of  the  first  month,  and 
there  was  written  according  to 
all  that  Ha'man  had  command- 
ed unto  the  king's  lieutenants, 
and  to  the  governors  that  were 
over  every  province,  and  to  the 
rulers  of  £very  people  of  every 
province  according  to  the  writ- 
ing thereof,  and  to  every  peo- 
ple after  their  language ;  m  the 
name  of  king  A-h&3-fi-€'rus  was 
it  written,  and  sealed  with  the 
king's  ring. 

13  And  the  letters  were  sent 
by  posts  into  all  the  king's  prov- 
inces, to  destroy,  to  kill,  and  to 
Cause  to  perish,  all  Jews,  both 
young  and  old,  little  children 
and  women,  in  one  day,  even 
upon  the  thirteenth  day  of  the 
twelfth  month,  which  is  the 
month  A'dfir,  and  to  take  the 
spoil  of  them  for  a  prey. 

14  The  copy  of'  the  writing 
for  a  commandment  to  be  given 
in  every  province  was  published 
unto  all  people,  that  they  should 
be  ready  against  that  day. 

15  The  posts  went  out,  being 
hastened  by  the  king's  com- 
mandment, and  the  decree  was 
given  in  Shu'shati  the  palace. 
And  the  king  and  Ha'man  sat 
down  to  drink;  but  the  city 
Shg'shan  was  perplexed. 


Esther  appoint*  a  /**t ;  Kcr  revolu- 
tion, eta, 

TT7HEN  lIoYde-cal  perceived 
VY  all  that  was  done,  MdrMe- 
c&i  rent  his  clothes,  and  put  on 
sackcloth  with  ashes,  and  went 
out  into  the  midst  of  the  city, 
and  cried  with  a  loud  and  a  bit- 
ter cry; 

2  And  came  even  before  the 
king's  gate:  for  .none  might 
enter  into  the  king's  gate 
clothed  with  sackcloth. 

3  And  in  every  province, 
whithersoever  the  king's  com- 
mandment and  his  decree  came, 
there  was  great  mourning 
among  the  Jews,  and  fasting, 
and  weeping,  and  wailing ;  and 
many  lay  in  sackcloth  and  ashes. 

4  tSo  Esther's  maids  and  her 
chamberlains  came  and  told  it 
her.  Then  was  the  queen  ex- 
ceedingly grieved;  and  she 
sent  raiment  to  clothe  Mdfde- 
cfii,  and  to  take  away  his  sack 
cloth  from  him :  but  he  received 
it  not 

5  Then  called  Es'thCr  for  Ha'- 
tftch,  one  of  the  king's  chamber- 
lains, whom  he  had  appointed 
to  attend  upon  her,  and  gave 
him  a  commandment  to  MdrMe- 
cSi,  to  know  what  it  was,  and 
why  it  was. 

6  So  Hft'tSch  went  forth  to 
M&rMe-cal  unto  the  street  of 
the  city,  which  was  before  the

king's  gate. 

7  And  MoTde-cai  told  him  of 
all  that  had  happened  unto  him, 
and  of  the  sum  of  the  money 
that  Ha'man  had  promised  to 
pay  to  the  king's  treasuries  for 
the  Jews,  to  destroy  them. 

8  Also  he  gave  him  the  copy 
of  the  writing  of  the  decree 
that  was  given  at  Shy/shan  to 
destroy  them,  to  shew  it  unto 
£s'the"r,  and  to  declare  it  unto 
her;  and  to  charge  her  that  she 
should  go  in  unto  the  king,  to 
make  supplication  unto  him, 
and  to  make  request  before  him 
for  her  people. 

9  And  Ha  tSch  came  and  told 
fis'thSr  the  words  of  M6r'de-cai. 

10  IT  Again  fis'ther  spake  un- 
to HJ'tflch,  and  gave  him  com- 
mandment unto  Mor'de-cfii ; 

11  All  the  king's  servants,  and 
the  people  of  the  king's  prov- 
inces, do  know,  that  whoso- 
ever, whether  man  or  woman, 
shall  come  unto  the  king  into 
the  inner  court,  who  is  not 
called,  there  is  one  law  of  his 
to  put  him  to  death,  except 
such  to  whom  the  king  shall 
hold  out  the  golden   sceptre, 

15  that  he  may  live:  but  I  have

not  been  called  to  come  in  un- 
to, the  king  these  thirty  days* 
U  And  they  told  to  Mdr'de-cai 
fis'theYs  words. 

13  Then  Mdr'de-cai  command- 
ed to  answer  Ea'ther,  Think  not 
with  thyself  that  thou  shalt  es- 
cape in  the  king's  house,  more 
than  all  the  Jews. 

14  For  it  thou  altogether  bold* 
est  thy  peace  at  this  time,  then 
shall  there  enlargement  and 
deliverance  arise  to  the  Jews 
from  another  place;  but  thou 
and  thy  fathers  house  shall  be 
destroyed:  and  who  knoweth 
whether  thou  art  come  to  the 
kingdom  for  stick  a  time  as 
this?  . 

15  IF  Then  fis'ther  bade  them 
return  Mdr'de-cai  this  answer, 

16  Go,  gather  together  all  the 
Jews,  that  are  present  in  §hu% 
shan,  and  fast  ye  for  me,  and 
neither  eat  nor  drink  three  days, 
night  or  day:  I  also  and  my 
maidens  will  fast  likewise;  and 
so  will  I  go  in  unto  the  king, 
which  is  not  according  to  the 
law :  and  if  I  perish,  I  perish. 

17  So  Mdr'de-cai  went  his  way, 
and  did  according  to  all  that  £s'« 
ther  had  commanded  him. 

CHAPTER  5 
Either  invites  th*  king  and  Haman 
to  a  banquet. 

NQW  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
third  day,  that  fitter  put 
on  her  royal  apparel,  and  stood 
in  the  inner  court  of  the  king's 
house,  over  against  the  king's 
house:  and  the  king  sat  upon 
his  royal  throne  in  the  royal 
house,  over  against. the  gate  of 
the  house. 

2  And  it  was  so,  when  the 
king  saw  Jts'tber  the  queen 
standing  in.  the  court*  that  she 
obtained  favour  in  his  sight: 
and  the  king  held  out  to  Es'ther 
the  golden. sceptre  that  www  in 
his  hand  So  £a'tb£r  drew 
near,  and  touched  the  top  of 
the  sceptre. 

3  Then  said  the  king  nnto 
her,  What  wilt  thou,  queen  £s'- 
ther?  and  what  is  thy  request? 
it  shall  be  even  given  thee  to 
the  half  of  the  kingdom. 

4  And  fis'thSr  .answered,  If  it 
seem  good  unto  the  king,  let 
the  king  and  H&'man  come  this 
day  unto  the  banquet  thnt  I 
have  .prepared  for  him. 

5  Then  the  king  said,  Cause 
Ha'mari  to  make  haste,  that  he 
may  do.  as  fis'ther  hath  said. 
So  the  king  and  Ha'man  came 
to  the  banquet  that  Es'ther  had 
prepared.   * 

6  \  And  the  king  said  unto 


Bs'tber  at  the  banquet  of  wine, 
What  is  thy  petition?  and  it 
shall  be  granted  thee.:  and  what 
is  thy  request?  even  to  the 
half  of  the  kingdom  it  shall  be 
performed. 

7  Then  answered  fis'ther,  and 
said,  My  petition  and  my  re- 
quest is; 

8  If  I 'have,  found  favour  in 
the  sight  oi  the  king,  and  if  it 
please  the  king  to  grant  my 
petition,  and  to  perform  my  re- 
quest, let  the  king  and  Hfi'man 
come  to  the  banquet  that  I  shall 
prepare  for  them,  and  I  will  do 
to  morrow  as  the,  king  hath  said. 

9  IF  Then  went  Hainan  forth 
that  day  joyful  and  with  a  glad 
heart:  but. when  Hainan  saw 
Mdr'de-cai  in  the  king's  gate, 
that  he  stood  not  up,  nor  moved 
for  him,  he  was  full  of  indigna- 
tion against  Mor'de-cfii. 

10  Nevertheless  Ha/man  re- 
frained himself:  and  when  he 
came  home*  he  sent  and  called 
for  his  friends,  and  Ze'resh  his 
wife. 

11  And  H5  man  told  them  of 
the  glory  of  his  riches,  an<J  the 
multitude  of  his  children,  and 
all  the  things  wherein  the. king 
had  promoted  him,  and  bow  he 
had  advanced  him  above  the 
princes  and  servants  of  the 
king, 

12  Hfi'man  said  moreover.  Yea, 
fis'ther  the.  queen  did  let  no 
man  come  in  with  the  king 
unto  the  banquet  that  she  bad 
prepared  but  myself;  and  to 
morrow  am  I  invited  unto  her 
also  with  the  king. 

13  Yet  all  this  availeth  me 
nothing,  so  long  as  I  see  Mdr'- 
de-cai the  Jew  .sitting  at,  the 
king's  gate. 

14  Then  said  Ze'resh  his  wife 
and  all  his  friends  unto  him, 
Let  a  gallows  be  made  of  fifty 
cubits  high,  and.  to  morrow 
sneak  thou  unto  the  long  that 
Mdr'de-cai  may  be  hanged  there- 
on: then  go  thou  in  merrily 
with  the  king  unto  the  ban- 
quet And  the  thing  pleased 
Ha'man ;  and  -  he  caused  the 
gallows  to  be  made.

king's  chamberlains,  the  keep- 
ers of  the  door,  who  sought  to 
lay  hand  on  the  king  A-has-u- 
6'rus. 

3  And  the  kino;  said,  What 
honour  and  dignity  hath  been 
done  to  Mdr'de-cfii  for  this? 
Then  said  the  king's  servants 
that  ministered  unto  him, 
There  is  nothing  done  for  him. 

4  And  the  king  said,  Who  is 
in  the  court?  Now  Hfi'man 
was .  come  into  the  outward 
court  of  the  king's  house,  to 
speak  unto  the  king  to  hang 
Mdr'de-cfii  on  the  gallows  that 
he  had  prepared  for  him. 

5  And  the  king's  servants 
said  unto  him,  Behold,  Hfi'man 
standeth  in  the  court  And  the 
king  said,  Let  him  come  in. 

6  So  Hfi'man  came  in.  And 
the  king  said  unto  him,  What 
shall  be  done  unto  the  man 
whom  the  king  delighteth  to 
honour?  Now Hfi'man  thought 
in  his  heart,  To  whom  would 
the  king  delight  to  do  honour 
more  than  to  myself  ? 

7  And  Ha'man  answered  the 
king,  For  the  man  whom  the 
king  delighteth  to  honour, 

8  Let  the  royal  apparel  be 
brought  which  the  king  useth 
to  wear,  and  the  horse  that 
the  king  rideth  upon,  and  the 
crown  royal  which  is  set  upon' 
his  head: 

9  And  let  this  apparel  and 
horse  be  delivered  to  the  hand 
of  one  of  the  king's  most  noble 
princes,  that  they  may  array 
the  man  withal  whom  the  king 
delighteth  to  honour,  and  bring 
him  on  horseback  through  the 
street  of  the  city,  and  proclaim 
before  him,  Thus  shall  it  be 
done  to  the  man  whom  the  king 
delighteth  to  honour. 

10  Then  the  king  said  to  Ha'- 
man, Make  haste,  and  take  the 
apparel  and  the  horse,  as  thou 
hast  said,  and  do  even  so  to 
Mdr'de-cai  the  Jew,  that  sitteth 
at  the  king's  gate :  let  nothing 
fail  of  alt  that  thou  hast  spoken: 

11  Then  took  Ha'man  the  ap- 
parel and  the  horse,  and  ar- 
rayed Mdr'de-cai,  and  brought 
him  on  horsebac^  through  the 
street  of'  the  city,  and  pro- 
claimed before  him,  Thus  shall 
it  be  done  unto  the  man  whom 
the  king  delighteth' tb  honour. 

12  IT  And  Mdr'de-cai  came 
again  to  the  king's  gate.  But 
Ha'man  hasted  to  Iris  house 
mourning,  and  having  his  head 
covered: 

13  And  HTman  told  Ze'resh 
his  wife  and  all  his  friends 


every  thing  that  had  befallen 
him.  Then  said  his  wise  men 
and  Ze"resh  his  wife  unto  him, 
If  Mdr'de-cai  be  of  the  seed  of 
the  Jews,  before  whom  thou 
hast  begun  to  fall,  thou  shalt 
not  prevail  against  him,  but 
shalt  surely  fall  before  him. 
14  And  while  they  were  yet 
talking  with  him,  came  the 
king's  chamberlains/ and  hasted 
to  bring  Hfi'man  unto  the  ban- 
quet that  fis'ther  had  prepared.

SO  the  king  and  Ha'man  came 
to  banquet  with  fis'ther  the 
queen. 

2  And  the  king  said  again  un- 
to Es'ther  on  the  second  day  at 
the  banquet  of  wine,  What  is 
thy  petition,  queen  fis'ther? 
and  it  shall  be  granted  thee 
and  what  is  thy  request?  and 
it  shall  be  performed,  even  to 
the  half  of  the  kingdom. 

3  Then  fis'ther  the  queen  an 
swered  and  said,  If  I  have  found 
favour  in  thy  sight,  O  king,  and 
if  it  please  the  king,  let  my  life 
be  given  me  at  my  petition,  and 
my  people  at  my  request : 

4  For  we  are  sold,  I  and  my 
people,  to  be  destroyed,  to  be 
slain,  and  to  perish.  But  if  we 
had  been  sold:  for  bondmen  and 
bondwomen,  I  had  held  my 
tongue,  although  the  enemy 
could  not  countervail  the  king's 
damage. 

5  IT  Then  the  king  A~ha*-G-€'- 
rus  answered  and  said  unto  fis'- 
ther the  queen,  Who  is  he,  and 
where  is  he,  that  durst  presume 
in  his  heart  to  do  so? 

6  And  fis'ther  said.  The  adver- 
sary and  enemy  is  this  wicked 
Hfi  man.  Then  Hi'man  was 
afraid  before  the  king  and  the 
queen. 

7  f  And  the  king  arising  from 
the  banquet  of  wine  in  his  wrath 
went  into  the  palace  garden 
and  Hfi'man  stood  up  to  make 
request  for  his  life  to  fis'ther 
the  queen ;  for  he  saw  that  there 
was  evil  determined  against  him 
by  the  king. 

8  Then  the  king  returned  out 
of  the  palace  garden  into  the 
place  of  the  banquet  of  wine ; 
and  Hfi'man  was  fallen  upon  the 
bed  whereon  fis'ther  was.  Then 
said  the  king,  Will  he  force  the 
queen  also  before  me  in  the 
house?  As  the  word  went  out 
of  the  king's  mouth,  they  cov- 
ered1 Hfi'man's  face.

9  And  Hfir-bO'nah,  one  of  the 
chamberlains,  said  before  the 
king,  Behold  also,  the  gallows 
fifty  cubits  high,  which  fia'man 
had  made  for  MoYde-cai,  who 
had  spoken  good  for  the  king, 
standeth  in  the  house  of  Ha'- 
man.  Then  the  king  said,  Hang 
him  thereon. 

10  So  they  hanged  Ha'man  on 
the  gallows  that  he  had  pre- 
pared for  MdrMe-caL  Then  was 
the  king's  wrath  pacified. 

CHAPTER  8 

Mordeeai  advanced.  7  Akasuerus 
grants  to  the  Jews  to  defend  them- 
•cfosc  15  MortUoai'9  honour*,  and 
the  Jm**  joy. 

ON  that  day  did  the  king 
A-ha>G-6'rus  give  the  house 
of  Ha'man  the  Jews'  enemy  un- 
to Es'ther  the  queen.  AndM6r"- 
de-c&i  came  before  the  king ;  for 
Es'ther  had  told  what  he  was 
unto  her. 

2  And  the  king  took  off  his 
ring,  which  he  had  taken  from 
Ha'man,  and  gave  it  unto  Mdr'- 
de-cai.  And  Es'ther  set  Mdr'de- 
cfii  over  the  house  of  Ha'man. 

3  S  And  Es'ther  spake  yet 
again  before  the  king,  and  fell 
down  at  his  feet,  and  besought 
him  with  tears  to  put  away  the 
mischief  of  Ha'man  the  A'gag- 
ite,  and  his  device  that  he  had 
devised  against  the  Jews* 

4  Then  the  king  held  out  the 
golden  sceptre  toward  Es'ther. 
So  Es'ther  arose,  and  stood  be- 
fore the  king, 

5  And  said.  If  it  please  the 
king,  and  if  I  have  found  favour 
in  his  sight,  and  the  thing  eeem 
right  before  the  king,  and  I  be 
pleasing  in  his  eyes,  let  it  be 
written  to  reverse  the  letters 
devised  by  Ha'man  the  son  of 
Ittnwnea'a-tha  the  A'gag-ite, 
which  he  wrote  to  destroy  the 
Jews  which  are  in  all  the  king's 
provinces: 

6  For  how  can  I  endure  to  see 
the  evil  that  shall  come  unto 
my  people  ?  or  how  can  I  endure 
to  see  the  destruction  of  my 
kindred? 

7  1  Then  the  king  A-has-W- 
rus  said  unto  Es'ther  the  queen 
and  to  MdrMe-cai  the  Jew,  Be- 
hold, I  have  given  Es'ther  the 
house  of  Ha'man,  and  him  they 
have  hanged  upon  the  gallows, 
because  he  laid  his  hand  upon 
the  Jews. 

8  Write  ye  also  for  the  Jews, 
as  it  liketh  you,  in  the  king's 
name,  and  seal  it  with  the  king^s 
ring:  for  the  writing  which  is 
written  in  the  king's  name,  and 


sealed  with  the  king's  ring,  may 
no  man  reverse. 

9  Then  were  the  king's  scribes 
called  at  that  time  in  the  third 
month,  that  is,  the  month  Si'- 
van,  on  the  three  and  twentieth 
day  thereof ;  and  it  was  written 
according  to  all  that  Mdr'de-cfii 
commanded  unto  the  Jews,  end 
to  the  lieutenants,  and  the 
deputies  and  rulers  of  the  prov- 
inces which  are  from  In'dl-a 
unto  E-thl-S'pI-a,  an  hundred 
twenty  and  seven  provinces, 
unto  every  province  according 
to  the  writing  thereof,  and 
unto  every  people  after  their 
language,  and  to  the  Jews  ac- 
cording to  their  writing,  and 
according  to  their  language. 

10  And  he  wrote  in  the  king 
A-his-ti-6'nis'  name,  and  sealed 
it  with  the  king's  ring,  and  sent 
letters  by  posts  on  horseback, 
and  riders  on  mules,  camels, 
and  young  dromedaries: 

11  Wherein  the  king  granted 
the  Jews  which  were  in  every 
city  to  gather  themselves  to- 
gether, and  to  stand  for  their 
life,  to  destroy,  to  slay,  and  to 
cause  to  perish,  all  the  power  of 
the  people  and  province  that 
would  assault  them,  both  little 
ones  and  women,  and  to  take 
the  spoil  of  them  for  a  prey, 

12  Upon  one  day  in  all  the 
provinces  of  king  A-hag-u-E'rus, 
namely,  upon  the  thirteenth 
day  of  the  twelfth  month, 
which  is  the  month  A'dar. 

13  The  copy  of  the  writing  for 
a  commandment  to  be  given  in 
every  province  was  published 
unto  all  people,  and  that  the 
Jews  should  be  ready  against 
that  day  to  avenge  themselves 
on  their  enemies. 

14  So  the  posts  that  rode  upon 
mules  and  camels  went  out, 
being  hastened  and  pressed  on 
by  the  king's  commandment 
And  the  decree  was  given  at 
Shu'shan  the  palace. 

15  1  And  Mor'de-cfii  went  out 
from  the  presence  of  the  king 
in  royal  apparel  of  blue  and 
white,  and  with  a  great  crown 
of  gold,  and  with  a  garment  of 
fine  linen  and  purple :  and  the 
city  of  Shu'shan  rejoiced  and 
was  glad. 

16  The  Jews  had  light,  and 
gladness,  and  joy,  and  honour. 

17  And  in  everv  province,  and 
in  every  city,  whithersoever  the 
king's  commandment  and  his 
decree  came,  the  Jews  had  joy 
and  gladness,  a  feast  and  a  good 
day.  And  many  of  the  people 
of  the  land  became  Jews;  for

CHAPTER  9 

The  Jews  slay  their  enemies,  with 
the  ten,  wane  of  Human.  20  The 
two  flays  of  Purim  made  festival. 

NOW  in  the  twelfth  month, 
that  i*>  the  month  A'dar, 
on  the  thirteenth  day  of  the 
same,  when  the  king's  com- 
mandment and  his  decree  drew 
near  to  be  put  in  execution,  in 
the  day  that  the  enemies  of  the 
Jews  hoped  to  have  power  over 
them,  (though  it  was  turned 
to  the  contrary,  that  the  Jews 
had  rule  over  them  that  hated 
them ;) 

2  The  Jews  gathered  them- 
selves together  in  their  cities 
throughout  all. the  provinces  of 
the  king  A-hfig-u-e'rus,  to  lav 
hand  on  such  as  sought  their 
hurt :  and  no  man  could  with- 
stand them;  for  the  fear  of 
them  fell  upon  all  people. 

3  And  all  the  rulers  of  the 
provinces,  and  the  lieutenants, 
and  the  deputies,  and  officers  of 
the  king,  helped  the  Jews;  be- 
cause the  fear  of  Mor'de-cai  fell 
upon  them. 

4  For  Mor'de-cai  was  great  in 
the  king's  house,  and  his  fame 
went  out  throughout  all  the 
provinces:  for  this  man  Mor'de- 
cai  waxed  greater  and  greater. 

5  Thus  the  Jews  smote  all 
their  enemies  with  the  stroke 
of  the  sword,  and  slaughter,  and 
destruction,  and  did  what  they 
would  unto  those  that  hated 
them. 

6  And  in  Shu'shan  the  palace 
the  Jews  slew  and  destroyed  five 
hundred  men. 

7  And  Par-shan'da-tha,  and 
DaTphon,  and  As'pa-tha, 

8  And  Pdr'a-tha,  and  Ad-a-li'a, 
and  A-rid'a-tha, 

9  And  Par-mSsh'ta,  and  A-ris'- 
a-i,  and  A-rid'a-i,  and  Va-jez'a- 
tha, 

10  The  ten  sons  of  Ha'man  the 
son  of  Ham-mgd'a-tha,  the  ene- 
my of  the  Jews,  slew  they;  but 
on  the  spoil  laid  they  not  their 
hand. 

11  On  that  day  the  number 
of  those  that  were  slain  in  Shu/- 


fore  the  king. 
12  IT  And*  the  king  said  unto 
fis'ther  the  queen,  The  Jews 
have  slain  and  destroyed  five 
hundred  men  in  Shu'shan  the 
palace,  and  the  ten  sons  of  Ha'- 
man ;  what  have  they  done  in 
the  rest  of  the  king's  provinces  ? 
now  what  is  thy  petition  ?  and 
it  shall  be  granted  thee :  or  what 


ia  thy  request  further  1  and  it 
shall  be  done. 

13  Then  said  Es'theT,  If  it 
please  the  king,  let  it  be  granted 
to  the  Jews  which  are  in  Shu'- 
shan to  do  to  morrow  also  ac- 
cording unto  this  day's  decree, 
and  let  H&'man's  ten  sons  be 
hanged  upon  the  gallows. . 

14  And  the  king  commanded 
it  so  to  be  done :  and  the  decree 
was  given  at  Shu'shan ;  andthey 
hanged  Ha'man's  ten  sons. 

15  For  the  Jews  that  were  in 
Shy'shan  gathered  themselves 
together  on  the  fourteenth  day 
also  of  the  month  A'dar,  and 
slew  three  hundred  men  at  Shu'- 
shan ;  but  on  the  prey  they  laid 
not  their  hand. 

16  But  the  other  Jews  that 
were  in  the  king's  provinces 
gathered  themselves  together, 
and  stood  for  their  lives,  and 
had  rest  from  their  enemies, 
and  slew  of  their  foes  seventy 
and  five  thousand,  but  they  laid 
not  their  hands  on  the  prey, 

17  On  the  thirteenth  day  of 
the  month  A'dar;  and  on  the 
fourteenth  day  of  the  same  rest- 
ed they,  and  made  it  a  day  of 
feasting  and  gladness. 

18  But  the  Jews  that  were  at 
Shu'shan  assembled  together  on 
the  thirteenth  day  thereof,  and 
on  the  fourteenth  thereof;  and 
on  the  fifteenth  day  of  the  same 
they  rested,  and  made  it  a  day 
of  feasting  and  gladness. 

19  Therefore  the  Jews  of  the 
villages,  that  dwelt  in  the  un- 
walled  towns,  made  the  four- 
teenth day  of  the  month  A'dar 
a  day  o/ gladness  and  feasting, 
and  a  good  day,  and  of  sending 
portions  one  to  another. 

20  If  And  MoTde-cSi  wrote 
these  things,  and  sent  letters 
unto  all  the  Jews  that  were  in 
all  the  provinces  of  the  king 
A-ha>u-&'rus,  both  nigh  and  far, 

21  To  stablish  this  among 
them,  that  they  should  keep 
the  fourteenth  day  of  the  month 
A'dar,  and  the  fifteenth  day  of 
the  same,  yearly, 

22  As  the  days  wherein  the 
Jews  rested  from  their  enemies, 
and  themonth  which  was  turned 

shan  the  palace  was  brought  be-  unto  them  from  sorrow  to  joy, 


and  from  mourning  into  a  good 
day:  that  they  should  make 
them  days  of  feasting  and  joy, 
and  of  sending  portions  one  to 
another,  and  gifts  to  the  poor. 

23  And  the  Jews  undertook 
to  do  as  they  had  begun,  and 
as  Mor'de-cai  had  written  unto 
them;

of  Ham-mecl'a-tha,  the  A'gftg. 
ite,  the  enemy  of  all  the  Jews, 
had  devised  against  the  Jews 
to  destroy  them,  and  had  cast 
PGr,  that  is,  the  lot,  to  consume 
them,  and  to  destroy  them ; 

25  But  when  Es'ther  came 
before  the  king,  he  commanded 
by  letters  that  his  wicked  de- 
vice, which  he  devised  against 
the  Jews,  should  return  upon 
his  own  head,  and  that  he  and 
his  sons  should  be  hanged  on 
the  gallows. 

26  Wherefore  they  called 
these  days  Pu'rim  after  the 
name  of  Pur.  Therefore  for 
all  the  words  of  this  letter,  and 
of  that  which  they  had  seen 
concerning  this  matter,  and 
which  had  come  unto  them, 

27  The  Jews  ordained,  and 
took  upon  them,  and  upon  then- 
seed,  and  upon  all  such  as  joined 
themselves  unto  them,  so  as  it 
should  not  fail,  that  they  would 
keep  these  two  days  according 
to  their  writing,  and  according 
to  their  appointed  time  every 
year; 

28  And  that  these  days 
should  be  remembered  and 
kept  throughout  every  genera- 
tion,  every  family,  every  prov- 
ince, and  every  city ;  and  that 
these  days  of  PB'rim  should  not 
fail  from  among  the  Jews,  nor 
the  memorial  of  them  perish 
from  their  seed. 

29  Then  Es'ther  the  queen, 
the  daughter  of  Ab-i-h&'il,  and 
Mdr'de-c&i  the  Jew,  wrote  with 


all  authority,  to  confirm  this 
second  letter  of  Pfl'rim. 

30  And  he  sent  the  letters 
unto  all  the  Jews,  to  the  hun- 
dred twenty  and  seven  prov- 
inces of  the  kingdom  of  A-h&s- 
fi-6'riis,  with  words  of  peace  and 
truth, 

31  To  confirm  these  days  of 
Pfl'rim  in  their  times  appoint- 
ed, according  as  Mdr'de-c9i  the 
Jew  and  Es'ther  the  queen  had 
enjoined  them,  and  as  they  had 
decreed  for  themselves  and  for 
their  seed,  the  matters  of  the 
fastings  and  their  cry. 

32  And  the  decree  of  fis'thfir 
confirmed  these  matters  of  Pfl'- 
rim ;  and  it  was  written  in  the 
book.

3  For  MorMe-cfli  the  Jew  was 
next  unto  king  A-h&s41-£'rus, 
and  great  among  the  Jews,  and 
accepted  of  the  multitude  of  his 
brethren,  seeking  the  wealth  of 
his  people,  and  speaking  peace 
to  all  his  seed.

CHAPTER  1 

The  holiness  of  Job ;  his  wealth :  his 
religious  care  for  his  children.  6 
Satan,  appearing  before  Goa\  false- 
ly accuses  Job,  and  obtains  leave 
to  tempt  him,  13  Job  in  affliction 
blesses  God. 

THERE  was  a  man  in  the 
land  of  tfz,  whose  name 
was  Job;  and  that  man  was 
perfect  and  upright,  and  one 
that  feared  God,  and  eschewed 
evil. 

2  And  there  were  born  un- 
to him  seven  sons  and  three 
daughters. 

3  His  substance  also  was  seven 
thousand  sheep,  and  three  thou- 
sand camels,  and  five  hundred 
yoke  of  oxen,  and  five  hundred 
she  asses,  and  a  very  great 


household;  so  that  this  man 
was  the  greatest  of  all  the  men 
of  the  east 

4  And  his  sons  went  and  feast- 
ed in  their  houses,  every  one 
his  day;  and  sent  and  called 
for  their  three  sisters  to  eat 
and  to  drink  with  them. 

5  And  it  was  so,  when  the 
days  of  their  feasting  were 
gone  about,  that  J6b  sent  and 
sanctified  them,  and  rose  up 
early  in  the  morning,  and  of- 
fered burnt  offerings  according 
to  the  number  of  them  all :  for 
J6b  said,  It  may  be  that  my 
sons  have  sinned,  and  cursed 
God  in  their  hearts.  Thus  did 
J6b  continually.

when  the  sons  of  God  came  to 
present  themselves  before  the 
Lord,  and  Sa'tan  came  also 
among  them. 

7  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Sa'tan,  Whence  comest  thou? 
Then  Sa'tan  answered  the  Lord. 
and  said,  From  going  to  and  fro 
in  the  earth,  and  from  walking 
up  and  down  in  it. 

8  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa'- 
tan, Hast  thou  considered  my 
servant  Job,  that  there  is  none 
like  him  in  the  earth,  a  perfect 
and  an  upright  man,  one  that 
feareth  God,  and  escheweth 
evil? 

9  Then  Sa'tan  answered  the 
Lord,  and  said,  Doth  Job  fear 
God  for  nought? 

10  Hast  not  thou  made  an 
hedge  about  him,  and  about  his 
house,  and  about  all  that  he 
hath  on  every  side?  thou  hast 
blessed  the  work  of  his  hands, 
and  his  substance  is  increased 
in  the  land. 

11  But  put  forth  thine  hand 
now,  and  touch  all  that  he  hath, 
and  he  will  curse  thee  to  thy 
face* 

12  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Sa'tan,  Behold,  all  that  he  hath 
is  in  thy  power ;  only  upon  him- 
self put  not  forth  thine  hand. 
So  Sa'tan  went  forth  from  the 
presence  of  the  Lord. 

13  If  And  there  was  a  day 
when  his  sons  and  his  daugh- 
ters were  eating  and  drinking 
wine  in  their  eldest  brother's 
house : 

14  And  there  came  a  messen- 
ger unto  Job,  and  said,  The  ox- 
en were  plowing,  and  the  asses 
feeding  beside  them : 

15  And  the  Sfi-be'ans.  fell  up- 
on them,  and  took  them  away ; 
yea,  they  have  slain  the  serv- 
ants with  the  edge  of  the  sword; 
and  I  only  am  escaped  alone  to 
tell  thee. 

16  While  he  was  yet  speak- 
ing, there  came  also  another, 
and  said.  The  fire  of  God  is 
fallen  from  heaven,  and  hath 
burned  up  the  sheep,  and  the 
servants,  and  consumed  them; 
and  I  only  am  escaped  alone  to 
tell  thee.      . 

17  While  he  was  yet  speak- 
ing, there  came  also  another, 
and  said,  The  Chal-de'ana  made 
out  three  bands,  and  fell  upon 
the  camels,  and  have  carried 
them  away,  yea,  and  slain  the 
servants  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword;  and  I  only  am  escaped 
alone  to  tell  thee. 

18  While  he  was  yet  speak- 
ing, there  came  also  another, 


and  said,  Thy  sons  and  thy 
daughters  were  eating  and 
drinking  wine  in  their  eldest 
brother's  house: 

19  And,  behold,  there  came  a 
great  wind  from  the  wilderness, 
and  smote  the  four  corners  of 
the  house,  and  it  fell  upon  the 
young  men,  and  they  are  dead; 
and  I  only  am  escaped  alone  to 
tell  thee. 

20  Then  J5b  arose,  and  rent 
his  mantle,  and  shaved  his 
head,  and  fell  down  upon  the 
ground,  and  worshipped, 

21  And  said,  Naked  came  I 
out  of  my  mother's  womb,  and 
naked  shall  I  return  thither 
the  Lord  gave,  and  the  Lord 
hath  taken  away;  blessed  be 
the  name  of  the  Lord. 

22  In  all  this  Job  sinned  not, 
nor  charged  God  foolishly. 

CHAPTER  2 

Satan,  appearing  again  before  God, 
obtain*  further  leave  to  tempt  Job : 
7  he  unites  him  with  tore  boils.  9 
Job  reproves  his  wife. 

AGAIN  there  was  a  day  when 
the  sons  of  God  came  to 
present  themselves  before  the 
Lord,  and  Sa'tan  came  also 
among  them  to  present  himself 
before  the  Lord. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa'- 
tan, From  whence  comest  thou  ? 
And  Sa'tan  answered  the  Lord, 
and  said,  From  going  to  and  fro 
in  the  earth,  and  from  walking 
up  and  down  in  it 

3  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa'- 
tan, Hast  thou  considered  my 
servant  Job,  that  there  is  none 
like  him  in  the  earth,  a  perfect 
and  an  upright  man,  one  that 
feareth  Goo;  and  escheweth 
evil?  and  still  he  holdeth  fast 
his  integrity,  although  thou 
inovedst  me  against  him,  to  de- 
stroy him  without  cause. 

4  And  Sa'tan  answered  the 
Lord,  and  said,  Skin  for  skin, 
yea,  all  that  a  man  hath  will  he 
give  for  his  life. 

5  But  put  forth  thine  hand 
now,  and  touch  his  bone  and 
his  flesh,  and  he  will  curse  thee 
to  thy  face. 

6  And.  the  Lord  said  unto 
Sa'tan,  Behold,  he  is  in  thine 
hand ;  but  save  his  life. 

7  JISo  went  Sa'tan  forth  from 
the  presence  of  the  Lord,  and 
smote  J5b  with  sore  boils  from 
the  sole  of  his  foot  unto  his 
crown. 

8  And  he  took  him  a  potsherd 
to  scrape  himself  withal ;  and 
he  sat  down  among  the  ashes. 

9  VThen  said  his  wife  unto 
him,  Dost  thou  still  retain  thine

10  But  he  said  unto  her,  Thou 
speakest  as.  one  of  the  foolish 
women  speaketh.  What?  shall 
we  receive  good  at  the  hand  of 
God,  and.  shall  we  not  receive 
evil?  In  all  this  did  not  Job 
sin  with  his  lips. 

11  IT  Now  when  Jsb's  three 
friends  heard  of,  all  this  evil 
that  was  come  upon  him,  they 
came  every  one  from  his  own 
place;  Ell-phaz  the T£'man-lte, 
and  Bll'dad  the  Shulute*  and 
Zd'phar  the  Na'a-math-lte :  for 
they  had  made  an  appointment 
together  to  come  to  mourn  with 
him  and  to  comfort  him. 

12  And  .when  they  lifted  up 


the  ghost  when  I  came  out  of 
the  belly? 

12  Why  did  the  knees  prevent 
me  ?  or  why  the  breasts  that  I 
should  suck  ? 

13  For  now  should  I  have  lain 
still  and  been  quiet,  I  should 
have  slept:  then  had  I  been  at 
rest, 

14  With  kings  and  counsel- 
lors of  the  earth,  which  built 
desolate  places  for  themselves; 

15  Or  with  princes  that  had 
gold,  who  filled  their  houses 
with  silver: 

16  Or  as  an  hidden  untimely 
birth  I  had  not  been ;  as  infants 
which  never  saw  light 

17  There   the   wicked   cease 


their  eyes  afar  off,  and  knew  front  troubling;  and  there  the 


him  not;  they  lifted  up  their 
voice,  anjd  wept ;  and  they,  rent 
every  one  his  mantle,  and 
sprinkled  dust  upon  their  heads 
toward  heaven. 
13  So  they  sat  down  with  him 
upon,  the  ground  seven  days 
and  seven  nights,  and  none 
spake  a  word  unto  him:  for 
they  saw  that  his  grief  was 
very  great 

CHAPTER  3 

Job  curses  the  day  of  hit  birth. 

AFTER  this  opened  Job  his 
mouth,  and  cursed  his  day. 

2  And  J5b  spake,  and  said, 

3  Let  the  day  perish  wherein 
I  was  born,  ana  the  night  in 
which  it  was  said,  There  is  a 
man  child  conceived. 

4  Let  that  day  be  darkness; 
let  not  God  regard  it  from 
above,  neither  let  the  light  shine 
upon  it 

5  Let  darkness  and  the  shad- 
ow of  death  stain  it;  let  a 
cloud  dwell  upon  it;  let  the 
blackness  of  the  day  terrify  it 

6  As  for  that  night,  let  dark- 
ness seize  upon  it;  let  it  not  be 
joined  unto  the  days  of  the 
year,  let  it  not  come  into  the 
number  of  the  months. 

7  Lo,  let  that  night  be  solitary, 
let  no  joyful  voice  come  there- 
in. . . 

8  Let  them  curse  it  that  curse 
the  day,  who  are  ready  to  raise 
up  their  mourning.  - 

9  Let  the  stars  o3f  the  twilight 
thereof  be  dark;  let  it  look  for 
light,  but  have  none;  neither 
let  it  see  the  dawning  of  the 
day: 

10  Because  it  shut  not  up  the 
doors  of  my  mother's  womb, 
nor  hid  sorrow  from  mine 
eyes. 

11  Why.  died  I  not  from  the 
womb?  why  did  1  not  give  up

wearybe  at  rest 

18  There  the  prisoners  rest 
together;  they  hear  not  the 
voice  of, the  oppressor. 

19  The  small  and  great  are 
there;  and  the  servant  is  free 
from  his  master. 

20  Wherefore  is  light  given  to 
him  that  is  in  misery,  and  life 
unto  the  bitter  in  soul ;  u 

21  Which  long  for  death,  but 
it  cometh  not ;  and  dig  for  it 
more  than  for  hid  treasures ; 

2?  Which  rejoice  exceedingly, 
and  are  glad,  when  they  can 
find  the  grave? 

23  Why  is  light  given  to  a 
map  whose  way  is  hid,  and 
whom  God  hath  hedged  in? 

24  For  my  sighing  cometh  be- 
fore I  eat  and  my  roarings  are 
poured  out  like  the  waters. 

25  For  the  thing  which 
greatly  feared  is  come  upon  me, 
and  that  which  I  was  afraid  of 
is  come  unto  me. 

26  I  was  not  in  safety,  neither 
had  I  rest  neither  was  I  quiet; 
yet  trouble  came. 

CHAPTER  4

with  thee,  wilt  thou  be  grieved? 
but  who  can  withhold  himself 
from  speaking? 

3  Behold,  thou  hast  instructed 
many,  and  thou  hast  strength 
ened  the  weak  hands. 

4  Thy  words  have  upholden 
him  that  was  falling,  and  thou 
hast  strengthened  the  feeble 
knees. 

5  But  now  it  is  come  upon 
thee,  and.  thou  faintest;  it 
toucheth  thee,  and  thou  art 
troubled.

6  Is  not  this  thy  fear,  thy 
confidence,  thy  hope,  and  the 
uprightness  of  thy  ways? 

7  Remember,  I  pray  thee,  who 
ever  perished,  being  innocent  ? 
or  where  were  the  righteous  cut 
off? 

8  Even  as  I  have  seen,  they 
that  plow  iniquity,  and  sow 
wickedness,  reap  the  same. 

9  By  the  blast  of  God  they 
perish,  and  by  the  breath  of  his 
nostrils  are  they  consumed. 

10  The  roaring  of  the  lion, 
and  the  voice  of  the  fierce  lion, 
and  the  teeth  of  the  young 
Hons,  are  broken. 

11  The  old  lion  perisheth  for 
lack  of  prey,  and  the  stout  lion's 
whelps  are  scattered  abroad. 

12  Now  a  thing  was  secretly 
brought  to  me,  and  mine  ear 
received  a  little  thereof. 

13  In  thoughts  from  the 
visions  of  the  night,  when  deep 
sleep  falleth  on  men, 

14  Fear  came  upon  me,  and 
trembling,  which  made  all  my 
bones  to  shake. 

15  Then  a  spirit  passed  before 
my  face ;  the  hair  of  my  flesh 
stood  up: 

16  It  stood  still,  but  I  could 
not  discern  the  form  thereof 
an  image  was  before  mine  eyes, 
there  was  silence,  and  I  heard 
a  voice,  saying, 

17  Shall  mortal  man  be  more 
just  than  God?  shall  a  man  be 
more  pure  than  his  maker? 

18  Behold,  he  put  no  trust  in 
his  servants ;  and  his  angels  he 
charged  with  folly: 

19  How  much  less  in  them 
that  dwell  in  houses  of  clay, 
whose  foundation  is  in  the  dust, 
which  are  crushed  before  the 
moth? 

20  They  are  destroyed  from 
morning  to  evening:  they  per- 
ish for  ever  without  any  regard- 
ing it. 

21  Doth  not  their  excellency 
which  is  in  them  go  away? 
they  die,  even  without  wis- 
dom. 

CHAPTER  5 

Harm  of  inconaideroHon.  3  Misery 
the  end  of  the  wicked.  6  Man  born 
to  trouble.  8  God  to  be  regarded 
in  affliction,  17  Happy  end  of 
God's  correction. 

CALL  now,  if  there  be  any 
that  will  answer  thee ;  and 
to  which  of  the  saints  wilt  thou 
turn? 

2  For  wrath  killeth  the  foolish 
man,  and  envy  slayeth  the  silly 
one. 

3  I  have  seen  the  foolish  tak- 
ing root :  but  suddenly  I  cursed 
his  habitation. 


4  His  children  are  far  from 
safety,  and  they  are  crushed  in 
the  gate,  neither  is  there  any 
to  deliver  them. 

5  Whose  harvest  the  hungry 
eateth  up,  and  taketh  it  even 
out  of  the  thorns,  and  the 
robber  swalloweth  up  their  sub- 
stance. 

6  Although  affliction  cometh 
not  forth  of  the  dust,  neither 
doth  trouble  spring  out  of  the 
ground; 

7  Yet  man  is  born  unto  trou- 
ble, as  the  sparks  fly  upward. 

8  I  would  seek  unto  God,  and 
unto  God  would  I  commit  my 
cause : 

9  Which  doeth  great  things 
and  unsearchable;  marvellous 
things  without  number: 

10  Who  giveth  rain  upon  the 
earth,  and  sendeth  waters  upon 
the  fields: 

11  To  set  up  on  high  those 
that  be  low ;  that  those  which 
mourn  may  be  exalted  to  safety. 

12  He  disappointeth  the  de- 
vices of  the  crafty,  so  that  their 
hands  cannot  perform  their  en- 
terprise. 

13  He  taketh  the  wise  in  their 
own  craftiness:  and  the  coun- 
sel of  the  froward  is  carried 
headlong. 

14  They  meet  with  darkness 
in  the  daytime,  and  grope  in 
the  noonday  as  in  the  night 

15  But  he  saveth  the  poor 
from  the  sword,  from  their 
mouth,  and  from  the  hand  of 
the  mighty. 

16  So  the  poor  hath  hope,  and 
iniquity  stoppeth  her  mouth. 

17  Behold,  happy  is  the  man 
whom  God  correcteth:  there- 
fore despise  not  thou  the  chas- 
tening of  the  Almighty: 

18  For  he  maketn  sore,  and 
bindeth  up :  he  woundeth,  and 
his  hands  make  whole. 

19  He  shall  deliver  thee  in  six 
troubles:  yea,  in  seven  there 
shall  no  evil  touch  thee. 

20  In  famine  he  shall  redeem 
thee  from  death:  and  in  war 
from  the  power  of  the  sword. 

21  Thou  shalt  be  hid  from  the 
scourge  of  the  tongue:  neither 
shalt  thou  be  afraid  of  destruc- 
tion when  it  cometh. 

22  At  destruction  and  famine 
thou  shalt  laugh :  neither  shalt 
thou  be  afraid  of  the  beasts  of 
the  earth. 

23  For  thou  shalt  be  in  league 
with  the  stones  of  the  field :  and 
the  beasts  of  the  field  shall  be 
at  peace  with  thee. 

24  And  thou  shalt  know  that 
thy    tabernacle    shall   be   in

CHAPTER  6 

Job  thews  that  hi*  complaint*  are  not 
causeless:  8  he  wishes  for  death, 
wherein  he  is  assured  of  rest  and 
comfort :  14  he  reproves  hi* friends' 
unkind) 


BUT  Job  answered  and  said, 
2  Oh  that  my  grief  were 
throughly    weighed,    and    my 
calamity  laid  in  the  balances 
together! 

3  For  now  it  would  be  heavier 
than  the  sand  of  the  sea:  there- 
fore my  words  are  swallowed  up. 

4  For  the  arrows  of  the  Al- 
mighty are  within  me,  the  poi- 
son whereof  drinketh  up  my 
spirit :  the  terrors  of  God  do  set 
themselves  in  array  against  me. 

5  Doth  the  wild  ass  bray  when 
he  hath  grass?  or  loweth  the  ox 
over  his  fodder? 

6  Can  that  which  is  unsa- 
voury be  eaten  without  salt?  or 
is  there  any  taste  in  the  white 
of  an  egg? 

7  The  things  that  my  soul 
refused  to  touch  are  as  my  sor- 
rowful meat 

8  Oh  that  I  might  have  my 
request;  and  that  God  would 
grant  me  the  thing  that  I  long 
for! 

9  Even  that  it  would  please 
God  to  destroy  me;  that  he 
would  let  loose  his  hand,  and 
cut  me  off ! 

10  Then  should  I  yet  have 
comfort;  yea,  I  would  harden 
myself  in  sorrow:  let  him  not 
spare;  for  I  have  not  concealed 
the  words  of  the  Holy  One. 

11  What  is  my  strength,  that 
I  should  hope?  and  what  is 
mine  end,  that  I  should  prolong 
my  life? 

12  Is  my  strength  the  strength 
of  stones?  or  xs  my  flesh  of 
brass? 

13  Is  not  my  help  in  me? 
and  is  wisdom  driven  quite 
from  me?  • 

14  To  him  that  is  afflicted 
pity  should  be  shewed  from 
his  friend;  but  he  forsaketh 
the  fear  of  the  Almighty. 

15  My  brethren  have  dealt 
deceitfully  as  a  brook,  and  as 


the  stream  of  brooks  they  pass 
away; 

16  Which  are  blackish  by  rea- 
son of  the  ice,  and  wherein  the 
snow  is  hid : 

17  What  time  they  wax  warm, 
they  vanish:  when  it  is  hot, 
they  are  consumed  out  of  their 
place. 

18  The  paths  of  their  way  are 
turned  aside ;  ttfey  go  to  noth- 
ing, and  perish. 

19  The  troops  of  T6'ma  looked, 
the  companies  of  Shg'ba  waited 
for  them. 

20  They  were  confounded  be- 
cause they  had  hoped ;  they  came 
thither,  and  were  ashamed. 

21  For  now  ye  are  nothing; 
ye  see  my  casting  down,  and 
are  afraid. 

22  Did  I  say,  Bring  unto  me? 
or,  Give  a  reward  for  me  of 
your  substance? 

23  Or,  Deliver  me  from  the 
enemy's  hand?  or,  Redeem  me 
from  the  hand  of  the  mighty  ? 

24  Teach  me,  and  I  will  hold 
my  tongue:  and  cause  me  to  un- 
derstand wherein  I  have  erred. 

25  How  forcible  are  right 
words!  but  what  doth  your  ar- 
guing reprove  ? 

26  Do  ye  imagine  to  reprove 
words,  and  the  speeches  of  one 
that  is  desperate,  which  are  as 
wind? 

27  Yea,  ye  overwhelm  the  fa- 
therless, and  ye  dig  a  pit  for 
your  friend. 

28  Now  therefore  be  content, 
look  upon  me ;  for  it  is  evident 
unto  you  if  I  lie. 

29  Return,  I  pray  you,  let 
it  not  be  iniquity;  yea,  return 
again,  my  righteousness  is  in  it 

30  Is  there  iniquity  in  my 
tongue?  cannot  my  taste  dis- 
cern perverse  things? 

CHAPTER  7 
Job  excuses  his  desire  of  death,  by 
representing  his  extreme  restless- 
nee* :  17  he  expostulates  with  God, 

/S  there  not  an  appointed 
time  to  man  upon  earth? 
are  not  his  days  also  like  the 
days  of  an  hireling? 

2  As  a  servant  earnestly  de- 
sireth the  shadow,  and  as  an 
hireling  looketh  for  the  reward 
of  his  work : 

3  So  am  I  made  to  possess 
months  of  vanity,  and  weari- 
some nights  are  appointed  to 
me. 

4  When  I  lie  down,  I  say, 
When  shall  I  arise,  and  the 
night  be  gone?  and  I  am  full 
of  tossings  to  and  fro  unto  the 
dawning  of  the  day. 

5  My  flesh   is   clothed   with

worms  and  clods  of  dust;  my 
skin  is  broken,  and  become 
loathsome. 

6  My  days  are  swifter  than  a 
weaver's  shuttle,  and  are  spent 
without  hope. 

7  O  remember  that  my  life  is 
wind :  mine  eye  shall  no  more 
see  good. 

8  The  eye  of  him  thatliath 
seen  me  shall  see  me  no  more : 
thine  eyes  are  upon  me,  and  I 
am  not 

9  As  the  cloud  is  consumed 
and  vanisheth  away :  so  he  that 
goeth  down  to  the  grave  shall 
come  up  no  more. 

10  He  shall  return  no  more  to 
his  house,  neither  shall  his  place 
know  him  any  more. 

11  Therefore  I  will  not  re- 
frain my  mouth;  I  will  speak 
in  the  anguish  of  my  spirit ;  I 
will  complain  in  the  bitterness 
of  my  soul. 

12  Am  I  a  sea,  or  a  whale,  that 
thou  settest  a  watch  over  me? 

13  When  I  say,  My  bed  shall 
comfort  me,  my  couch  shall  ease 
my  complaint; 

14  Then  thou  scarest  me 
with  dreams,  and  terrifiest  me 
through  visions: 

15  So  that  my  soul  chooseth 
strangling,  ana  death  rather 
than  my  life. 

16  I  loathe  it;  I  would  not 
live  alway:  let  me  alone;  for 
my  days  are  vanity. 

17  What  is  man,  that  thou 
shouldest  magnify  him?  and 
that  thou  shouldest  set  thine 
heart  upon  him? 

18  And  that  thou  shouldest 
visit  him  every  morning,  and 
try  him  every  moment  ? 

19  How  long  wilt  thou  not 
depart  from  me,  nor  let  me 
alone  till  I  swallow  down  my 
spittle? 

20  I  have  sinned ;  what  shall 
I  do  unto  thee,  0  thou  pre- 
server of  men?  why  hast  thou 
set  me  as  a  mark  against  thee, 
so  that  I  am  a  burden  to  my- 
self? 

21  And  why  dost  thou  not  par- 
don my  transgression,  and  take 
away  mine  iniquity?  for  now 
shall  I  sleep  in  the  dust ;  and 
thou  shalt  seek  me  in  the  morn- 
ing, but  I  shall  not  be. 

CHAPTER  8 

Bildad  thews  God's  justice :  8  ap- 
peals to  contiguity  to  prove  the  de- 
struction of  the  hypocrite  :  20  ap- 
plies God's  just  dealing  to  the  case 
of  Job. 

riTHEN  answered  Bil'dSd  the 
JL   Shu'hite,  and  said, 
2  How  long  wilt  thou  speak 


these  'things  ?  and  how  long 
shall  the  words  of  thy  mouth 
be  like  a  strong  wind  ? 

3  Doth  God  pervert  judgment? 
or  doth  the  Almighty  pervert 
justice  ? 

4  If  thy  children' have  sinned 
against  Tiim,  and  he  have  cast 
them  away  for  their  transgres- 
sion ; 

5  If  thou  wouldest  seek  unto 
God  betimes,  and  make  thy  sup- 
plication to  the  Almighty ; 

6  If  thou  wert  pure  and  up- 
right; surely  now  ne  would 
awal^e  for  thee,  and  make  the 
habitation  of  thy  righteousness 
prosperous. 

7  Though  thy  beginning  was 
small,  yet  thy  latter  end  should 
greatly  increase. 

8  For  enquire,  I  gray  thee,  of 
the  former  age,  and  prepare 
thyself  to  the  search  of  their 
fathers : 

9  (For  we  are  but  of  jester- 
day,  and  know  nothing,  because 
our  days  upon  earth  are  a  shad 
ow:) 

10  Shall  net  they  teach  thee, 
and  tell  thee,  and  utter  words 
out  6f  their  heart? 

11  Can  the  rush  grow  up 
without  mire?  can  the  flag 
grow  without  water? 

12  Whilst  it  is  yet  in  his 
greenness,  and  not  cut  down, 
it  withereth  before  any  other 
herb. 

13  So  are  the  paths  of  all  that 
forget  God;  ana  the  hypocrite's 
hope  sha)l  perish : 

14  Whose  hope  shall  be  cut 
off,  and  whose  trust  shall  be  a 
spider's  web. 

15  He  shall  lean  upon  his 
house,  but  it  shall  not  stand: 
he  shall  hold  it  fast,  but  it  shall 
not  endure. 

16  He  is  green  before  the 
sun,  and  his  branch  shooteth 
forth  in  his  garden. 

17  His  roots  are  wrapped 
about  the  heap,  and  seeth  the 
place  of  stones. 

18  If  he  destroy  him  from  his 
place,  then  it  shall  deny  him, 
saying,  I  have  not  seen  thee. 

19  Behold,  this  is  the  joy  of 
his  way,  and  out  of  the  earth 
shall  others  grow. 

20  Behold,  God  will  not  cast 
away  a  perfect  man,  neither 
will  he  help  the  evil  doers: 

2i  Till  he  fill  thy  mouth  with 
laughing,  and  thy  lips  with  re 
joicing. 

22  They  that,  hate  thee  shall 
be  clothed  with  shame;  and  the 
dwelling  place  of  the  wicked 
shall  come  to  nought.

CHAPTER  9 

Job,  acknowledging  God**  justice, 
thews  there  is  no  contending  with 
him.  20  Man's  innoeency  not  to  be 
judged  by  his  lot  in  this  world. 

rpHEN  Job  answered  and  said, 
X  2  I  know  it  is  so  of  a 
truth:  but  bow  should  man  be 
just  with  God? 

3  If  he  will  contend  with  him, 
he  cannot  answer  him  one  of  a 
thousand. 

4  He  ia  wise  in  heart,  and 
mighty  in  strength:  who  hath 
hardened  himself  against  him, 
and  hath  prospered? 

5  Which  removeth  the  moun- 
tains, and  they  know  not: 
which  overtumeth  them  in  his 
anger. 

6  Which  shaketh  the  earth 
out  of  her  place,  and  the  pillars 
thereof  tremble. 

7  Which  commandeth  the  sun, 
and  it  riseth  not;  and  sealeth 
up  the  stars. 

8  Which  alone  spreadeth  out 
the  heavens,  and  treadeth  upon 
the  waves  of  the  sea. 

9  Which  maketh  Arc-tu'ras, 
0-ri'dn,  and  Ple^ia-des,  and  the 
chambers  of  the  south. 

10  Which  doeth  great  things 
past  finding  out ;  yea,  and  won* 
ders  without  number. 

11  Lo,  he  goeth  by  me,  and  I 
see  him  not :  he  passeth  on  al- 
so, but  I  perceive  him  not 

12  Behold,  he  taketh  away, 
who  can  hinder  him?  who 
will  say  unto  him,  What  doest 
thou? 

13  If  God  will  not  withdraw 
his  anger,  the  proud  helpers  do 
stoop  under  him. 

14  How  much  less  shall  I  an- 
swer him,  and  choose  out  my 
words  to  reason  with  him  ? 

15  Whom,  though  I  were  right- 
eous, yet  would  I  not  answer, 
but  I  would  make  supplication 
to  my  judge. 

16  If  I  had  called,  and  he  had 
answered  me;  yet  would  I  not 
believe  that  he  had  hearkened 
unto  my  voice. 

17  For  he  breaketh  me  with 
a  tempest,  and  multiplieth  my 
wounds  without  cause. 

18  He  will  not  suffer  me  to 
take  my  breath,  but  filleth  me 
with  bitterness. 

19  If  /  speak  of  strength,  lo, 
he  is  strong:  and  if  of  judg- 
ment, who  shall  set  me  a  time 
to  plead  t 

20  If  I  justify  myself,  mine 
own  mouth  shall  condemn  me : 
if  I  say,  I  am  perfect,  it  shall 
also  prove  me  perverse. 

21  Though  I  were  perfect,  yet 


would  I  not  know  my  soul:   I 
would  despise  my  life. 

22  This  is  one  thing,  there- 
fore I  said  it,  He  destroyeth  the 
perfect  and  the  wicked. 

23  If  the  scourge  slay  sudden- 
ly, he  will  laugh  at  the  trial  of 
the  innocent 

24  The  earth  is  given  into 
the  hand  of  the  wicked :  he  cov- 
ereth  the  faces  of  the  judges 
thereof;  if  not,  where,  and  who 
is  he? 

25  Now  my  days  are  swifter 
than  a  post:  they  flee  away, 
they  see  no  good. 

26  Thev  are  passed  away  as 
the  swift  ships:  as  the  eagle 
that  hasteth  to  the  prey. 

27  If  I  say,  I  will  forget  my 
complaint,  I  will  leave  off  my 
heaviness,  and  comfort  myself: 

28  I  am  afraid  of  all  my  sor- 
rows, I  know  that  thou  wilt  not 
hold  me  innocent 

29  If  I  be  wicked,  why  then 
labour  I  in  vain  ? 

30  If  I  wash  myself  with 
snow  water,  and  make  my 
hands  never  so  clean; 

31  Yet  shalt  thou  plunge  me 
in  the  ditch,  and  mine  own 
clothes  shall  abhor  me.   * 

32  For  he  is  not  a  man,  as  I 
am,  that  I  should  answer  him, 
and  we  should  come  together 
in  judgment 

33  Neither  is  there  any  days- 
man betwixt  us,  that  might  lay 
his  hand  upon  us  both. 

34  Let  him  take  his  rod  away 
from  me,  and  let  not  his  fear 
terrify  me : 

35  Then  would  I  speak,  and 
not  fear  him ;  but  it  is  not  so 
with  me. 

CHAPTER  10 
Job,  taking1  liberty  of  complaint,  ex- 
postulates with  God  about  his  af- 
flictions: 18  he  complains  of  life, 
and  craves  a  little  ease  before  his 
death. 

MY  soul  is  weary  of  my  life ; 
I  will  leave  my  complaint 
upon  myself;  I  will  speak  in 
the  bitterness  of  my  soul. 

2  I  will  say  unto  God,  Do  not 
condemn  me ;  shew  me  where- 
fore thou  contendest  with  me. 

3  Is  it  good  unto  thee  that 
thou  shouldest  oppress,  that 
thou  shouldest  despise  the  work 
of  thine  hands,  and  shine  upon 
the  counsel  of  the  wicked? 

4  Hast  thou  eyes  of  flesh?  or 
seest  thou  as  man  seeth  ? 

5  Ate  thy  days  as  the  days  of 
man?  are  thy  years  as  man's 
days, 

6  That  thou  enquirest  after 
mine  iniquity,  and  searchest  af- 
ter my  sin?

7  Thou  knowest  that  I  am  not 
wicked ;  and  there  is  none  that 
can  deliver  out  of  thine  hand. 

8  Thine  hands  have  made 
me  and  fashioned  me  together 
round  about ;  yet  thou  dost  de- 
stroy me. 

9  Remember,  I  beseech  thee, 
that  thou  hast  made  me  as  the 
clay;  and  wilt  thou  bring  me 
into  dust  again  ? 

10  Hast  thou  not  poured  me 
out  as  milk,  and  curdled  me  like 
cheese? 

11  Thou  hast  clothed  me  with 
skin  and  flesh,  and  hast  fenced 
me  with  bones  and  sinews. 

12  Thou  hast  granted  me  life 
and  favour,  and  thy  visitation 
hath  preserved  my  spirit 

13  And  these  things  hast  thou 
hid  in  thine  heart :  I  know  that 
this  is  with  thee. 

14  If  I  sin,  then  thou  markest 
me,  and  thou  wilt  not  acquit 
me  from  mine  iniquity. 

15  If  I  be  wicked,  woe  unto 
me ;  and  if  I  be  righteous,  yet 
will  I  not  lift  up  my  head.  I 
am  full  of  confusion ;  therefore 
see  thou  mine  affliction ; 

16  For  it  increaseth.     Thou 
huntest  me  as  a  fierce  lion 
and  again  thou  shewest  thyself 
marvellous  upon  me. 

17  Thou  renewest  thy  wit- 
nesses against  me,  and  increas- 
est  thine  indignation  upon  me ; 
changes  and  war  are  against 
me. 

18  Wherefore  then  hast  thou 
brought  me  forth  out  of  the 
womb?  Oh  that  I  had  given 
up  the  ghost,  and  no  eye  had 
seen  me ! 

19  I  should  have  been  as 
though  I  had  not  been;  I  should 
have  been  carried  from  the 
womb  to  the  grave. 

20  Are  not  my  days  few? 
cease  then,  and  let  me  alone, 
that  I  may  take  comfort  a  little, 

21  Before  I  go  whence  I  shall 
not  return,  even  to  the  land  of 
darkness  and  the  shadow  of 
death; 

22  A  land  of  darkness,  as  dark- 
ness itself;  and  of  the  shadow 
of  death,  without  any  order, 
and  where  the  light  is  as  dark- 
ness. 

CHAPTER  11 

Zophar  reproves  Job  for  justifying 
himself:  7  he  shews  God's  counsel 
is  unsearchable.  13  Blessing  of  re- 
pentance. 

THEN  answered  Zo'phar  the 
Na'a-math-ite,  and  said, 

2  Should  not  the  multitude  of 
words  be  answered?  and  should 
a  man  full  of  talk  be  justified? 

3  Should  thy  lies  make  men 


as  heaven; 
do?  deeper 
canst  thou 

thereof  %s 
earth,   and 


hold  their  peace?  and  when 
thou  mockest,  shall  no  man 
make  thee  ashamed? 

4  For  thou  hast  said,  My  doc- 
trine is  pure,  and  I  am  clean  in 
thine  eyes. 

5  But  oh  that  God  would 
speak,  and  open  his  lips  against 
thee; 

6  And  that  he  would  shew 
thee  the  secrets  of  wisdom, 
that  they  are  double  to  that 
which  is!  Know  therefore  that 
God  exacteth  of  thee  less  than 
thine  iniquity  deserveth 

7  Canst  thou  by  searching 
find  out  God?  canst  thou  find 
out  the  Almighty  unto  perfec- 
tion? 

8  It  is  as  high 
what  canst  thou 
than  hell ;  what 
know? 

9  The  measure 
longer  than  the 
broader  than  the  sea. 

10  If  he  cut  off,  and  shut  up, 
or  gather  together,  then  who 
can  hinder  him  ? 

11  For  he  knoweth  vain  men 
he  seeth  wickedness  also ;  will 
he  not  then  consider  it  ? 

12  For  vain  man  would  be 
wise,  though  man  be  born  like 
a  wild  ass's  colt 

13  If  thou  prepare  thine  heart, 
and  stretch  out  thine  hands  to- 
ward him ; 

14  If  iniquity  be  in  thine 
hand,  put  it  far  away,  and  let 
not  wickedness  dwell  in  thy 
tabernacles. 

15  For  then  shalt  thou  lift  up 
thy  face  without  spot ;  yea,  thou 
shalt  be  stedf ast,  and  shalt  not 
fear: 

16  Because  thou  shalt  forget 
thy  misery,  and  remember  it  as 
waters  that  pass  away : 

17  And  thine  age  shall  be 
clearer  than  the  noonday ;  thou 
shalt  shine  forth,  thou  shalt  be 
as  the  morning.    . 

18  And  thou  shalt  be  secure, 
because  there  is  hope;  yea, 
thou  shalt  dig  about  thee,  and 
thou  shalt  take  thy  rest  in 
safety. 

19  Also  thou  shalt  lie  down, 
and  none  shall  make  thee 
afraid;  yea,  many  shall  make 
suit  unto  thee. 

20  But  the  eyes  of  the  wicked 
shall  fail,  and  they  shall  not 
escape,  and  their  hope  shall  be 
as  the  giving  up  of  the  ghost 

CHAPTER  12 
Job  censures  the  arrogant  preten- 
sions of  his  friends  to  superior 
knowledge :  he  shews  that  wicked

3  But  I  have  understanding  as 
well  as  you;  I  am  not  inferior 
to  you :  yea,  who  knoweth  not 
such  things  as  these  7 

4  I  am  a*  one  mocked  of  his 
neighbour,  who  calleth  upon 
God;  and  he  answereth  him: 
the  just  upright  man  is  laughed 
to  scorn. 

5  He  that  is  ready  to  slip  with 
his  feet  is  on  a  lamp  despised 
in  the  thought  of  him  that  is  at 


6  The  tabernacles  of  rob- 
bers prosper,  and  they  that 
provoke  God  are  secure;  into 
whose  hand  God  bringeth 
abundantly. 

7  But  ask  now  the  beasts,  and 
they  shall  teach  thee ;  and  the 
fowls  of  the  air,  and  they  shall 
tell  thee: 

8  Or  speak  to  the  earth,  and 
it  shall  teach  thee:  and  the 
fishes  of  the  sea  shall  declare 
unto  thee. 

9  Who  knoweth  not  in  all 
these  that  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  hath  wrought  this? 

10  In -whose  hand  is  the  soul 
of  every  living  thing,  and  the 
breath  of  all  mankind. 

11  Doth  not  the  ear  try  words? 
and  the  mouth  taste  his  meat  ? 

12  With  the  ancient  is  wis- 
dom; and  in  length  of  days 
understanding. 

13  With  him  is  wisdom  and 
strength,  he  hath  counsel  and 
understanding. 

14  Behold,  he  breaketh  down, 
and  it  cannot  be  built  again: 
he  shutteth  up  a  man,  and  there 
can  be  no  opening. 

15  Behold,  he  withholdeth  the 
waters,  and  they  dry  up:  also 
he  sendeth  them  out,  and  they 
overturn  the  earth. 

16  With  him  is  strength  and 
wisdom:  the  deceived  and  the 
deceiver  are  his. 

17  He  leadeth  counsellors 
away  spoiled,  and  maketh  the 
judges  fools. 

18  He  looseth  the  bond  of 
kings,  and  girdeth  their  loins 
with  a  girdle. 

19  He  leadeth  princes  away 
spoiled,  and  overthroweth  the 
mighty. 

20  He  removeth  away  the 
speech  of  the  trusty,  and  tak- 
eth  away  the  understanding  of 
the  aged. 

21  rfe  poureth  contempt  upon 
princes,  and*  weakeneth  'the 
strength  of  the  mighty. 

521 


22  He  discovereth  deep  things 
out  of  darkness,  and  bringeth 
out  to  light  the  shadow  of  death. 

23  He  increaseth  the  nations, 
and  destroyeth  them:  he  en- 
largeth  the  nations,  and  strait- 
eneth  them  again. 

24  He  taketh  away  the  heart 
of  the  chief  of  the  people  of  the 
earth,  and  causeth  them  to  wan- 
der in  a  wilderness  where  there 
is  no  way. 

25  They  grope  in  the  dark 
without  light,  and  he  maketh 
them  to  stagger  like  a  drunken 
man. 

CHAPTER  13 

Job  reproves  his  friends  of  partiali- 
ty: 14  he  professes  Me  confidence 
in  God.  etc. 

LO,  mine  eye  hath  seen  all 
this,  mine  ear  hath  heard 
and  understood  it 

2  What  ye  know,  the  same  do 
I  know  also :  I  am  not  inferior 
unto  you. 

3  Surely  I  would  speak  to  the 
Almighty,  and  I  desire  to  reason 
with  God. 

4  But  ye  are  forgers  of  lies, 
ye  are  all  physicians  of  no 
value. 

5  O  that  ye  would  altogether 
hold  your  peace !  and  it  should 
be  your  wisdom. 

6  Hear  now  my  reasoning,  and 
hearken  to  the  pleadings  of  my 
lips. 

7  Will  ye  speak  wickedly  for 
God?  and  talk  deceitfully  for 
him? 

8  Will  ye  accept  his  person  ? 
will  ye  contend  for  God  ? 

9  Is  it  good  that  he  should 
search  you  out?  or  as  one  man 
mocketh  another,  do  ye  so  mock 
him? 

10  He  will  surely  reprove  you, 
if  ye  do  secretly  accept  persons. 

11  Shall  not  his  excellency 
make  you  afraid  ?  and  his  dread 
fall  upon  you? 

12  Your  remembrances  are 
like  unto  ashes,  your  bodies  to 
bodies  of  clay. 

13  Hold  your  peace,  let  me 
alone,  that  I  may  speak,  and 
let  come  on  me  what  will. 

14  Wherefore  do  I  take  my 
flesh  in  my  teeth,  and  put  my 
life  in  mine  hand? 

15  Though  he  slay  me,  yet 
will  I  trust  in  him :  but  I  will 
maintain  mine  own  ways  before 
him. 

16  He  also  shall  be  my  salva- 
tion :  for  an  hypocrite  shall  not 
come  before  him. 

17  Hear  diligently  my  speech, 
and  my  declaration  with  your 
ears.

18  Behold  now,  I  have  ordered 
my  cause;  I  know  that  I  shall 
be  justified. 

19  Who  is  he  that  will  plead 
with  me?  for  now,  if  I  hold  my 
tongue,  I  shall  give  up  the 
ghost 

20  Only  do  not  two  things  un- 
to me :  then  will  I  not  hide  my- 
self from  thee. 

21  Withdraw  thine  hand  far 
from  me :  and  let  not  thy  dread 
make  me  afraid* 

22  Then  call  thou,  and  I  will 
answer:  or  let  me  speak,  and 
answer  thou  me. 

23  How  many  are  mine  iniqui 
ties  and  sins  ?  make  me  to  know 
my  transgression  and  my  sin. 

24  Wherefore  hidest  thou  thy 
face,  and  boldest  me  for  thine 
enemy  ? 

25  Wilt  thou  break  a  leaf 
driven  to  and  fro?  and  wilt 
thou  pursue  the  dry  stubble? 

26  For  thou  writest  bitter 
things  against  me,  and  makest 
me  to  possess  the  iniquities  of 
my  youth. 

27  Thou  puttest  my  feet  also 
in  the  stocks,  and  lookest  nar- 
rowly unto  all  my  paths;  thou 
settest  a  print  upon  the  heels 
of  mv  feet, 

28  And  he,  as  a  rotten  thing, 
consumeth,  as  a  garment  that 
is  moth  eaten. 

CHAPTER  14 

Brevity  0/  man's  life.    13  Job  waits 
for  his  change. 

MAN  that  is  born  of  a  wom- 
an is  of  few  days,  and  full 
of  trouble. 

2  He  cometh  forth  like  a 
flower,  and  is  cut  down;  he 
fleeth  also  as  a  shadow,  and 
continueth  not 

3  And  dost  thou  open  thine 
eyes  upon  such  an  one,  and 
bringest  me  into  judgment 
with   thee  ? 

4  Who  can  bring  a  clean  thing 
out  of  an  unclean  ?  not  one. 

5  Seeing  his  days  are  deter- 
mined* the  number  of  his 
months .  are  with  thee,  thou 
hast  appointed  his  bounds  that 
he  cannot  pass; 

6  Turn  from  him,  that  he  may 
rest  till  he  shall  accomplish, 
as  an  hireling,  his  day. 

7  For  there  is  hope  of  a  tree, 
if  it  be  cut  down,  that  it  will 
sprout  again,  and  that  the  ten- 
der branch  thereof  will  not 
cease. 

8  Though  the  root  thereof  wax 
old  in  the  earth,  and  the  stock 
thereof  die  in  the  ground ; 

9  Yet  through   the  scent  of 


water  it  will  bud,  and  bring 
forth  boughs  like  a  plant 

10  But  man  dieth,  and  wasteth 
away :  yea,  man  giveth  up  the 
ghost  and  where  is  he? 

11.  As  the  waters  fail  from 
the  sea,  and  the  flood  decayeth 
and  drieth  up: 

12  So  man  lieth  down,  and 
riseth  not:  till  the  heavens  be 
no  more,  they  shall  not  awake, 
nor  be  raised  out  of  their  sleep. 

13  O  that  thou  wouldest  hide 
me  is  the  grave,  that  thou 
wouldest  keep  me  secret  until 
thy  wrath  be  past  that  thou 
wouldest  appoint  me  a  set  time, 
and  remember  me! 

14  If  a  man  die,  shall  he  live 
again  ?  all  the  days  of  mv  ap- 
pointed time  will  I  wait  till  my 
change  come. 

15  Thou  shalt 'call,  and  I  will 
answer  thee:  thou  wilt  have  a 
desire  to  the  work  of  thine 
hands. 

16  For  now  thou  numberest 
my  steps:  dost  thou  not  watch 
over  my  sin  ? 

17  My  transgression  is  sealed 
up  in  a  bag,  and  thou  sewest  up 
mine  iniquity. 

18  And  surely  the  mountain 
falling  cometh  to  nought  and 
the  rock  is  removed  out  of  his 
place. 

19  The  waters,  wear,  the 
stones :  thou  washest  away  the 
things  which  grow  out  of  the 
dust  of  the  earth ;  and  thou  de- 
stroyest  the  hope  of  man. 

20  Thou  prevailest  for  ever 
against  him,  and  he  passeth: 
thou  changest  his  countenance, 
and  sendest  him  away. 

21  His  sons  come  to  honour, 
and  he  knoweth  it  not;  and 
they  are  brought  low,  but  he 
perceiveth  it  not  of  them. 

22  But  his  flesh  upon  him 
shalL  have  pain*  'and  his  soul 
within  him  shall  mourn.

3  Should  he  reason  with 
unprofitable  talk?  or  with 
speeches  wherewith  he  can  do 
no  good? 

4  Yea,  thou  castest  off  fear, 
and  restrainest  prayer  before 
God. 

5  For  thy  .  mouth  uttereth 
thine  iniquity,  and  thou  choos- 
est  the  tongue  of  the  crafty.

7  Art  thou  the  first  man  that 
was  born?  or  wast  thou  made 
before  the  hills? 

8  Hast  thou  heard  the  secret 
of  God?  and  dost  thou  restrain 
wisdom  to  thyself? 

9  What  knowest  thou,  that 
we  know  not?  what  under- 
standest  thou,  which  is  not  in 
us? 

10  With  us  are  both  the  gray- 
headed  and  very  aged  men, 
much  elder  than  thy  father. 

11  Are  the  consolations  of 
God  small  with  thee?  is  there 
any  secret  thing  with  thee  ? 

12  Why  doth  thine  heart 
carry  thee  away?  and  what  do 
thy  eyes  wink  at, 

13  That  thou  turnest  thy  spir- 
it against  God,  and  lettest  such 
words  go  out  of  thy  mouth  ? 

14  What  is  man,  that  he 
should  be  clean?  and  he  which 
is  born  of  a  woman,  that  he 
should  be  righteous? 

15  Behold,  he  putteth  no  trust 
in  his  saints;  yea,  the  heavens 
are  not  clean  in  his  sight 

16  How  much  more  abomin- 
able and  filthy  is  man,  which 
drinketh  iniquity  like  water? 

17  I  will  shew  thee,  hear  me ; 
and  that  which  I  have  seen  I 
will  declare; 

IS  Which  wise  men  have  told 
from  their  fathers,  and  have 
not  hid  it: 

19  Unto  whom  alone  the  earth 
ras  given,  and  no  stranger 
ossed  among  them. 

20  The  wicked  man  travaileth 
with  pain  all  his  days,  and  the 
number  of  years  is  hidden  to 
the  oppressor. 

21  A  dreadful  sound  is  in  his 
ears:  in  prosperity  the  destroy- 
er shall  come  upon  him. 

22  He  believeth  not  that  he 
shall  return  out  of  darkness, 
and  he  is  waited  for  of  the 
sword. 

23  He  wandereth  abroad  for 
brew},  saying,  Where  is  it?  he 
knoweth  that  the  day  of  dark- 
ness is  ready  at  his  hand,. 

24  Trouble  and  anguish  shall 
make  him  afraid;  they  shall 
prevail  against  him,  as  a  king 
ready  to  the  battle. 

25  For  he  stretcheth  out  his 
hand  against  God,  and  .strength 
eneth  himself  against  the  Al- 
to He    runneth    upon    him, 

even  on.  Jus  neck,  upon   the 
thick  bosses  of  his  bucklers : 
27  Because  he  covereth   his 


face  with  his  fatness,  and  mat 
eth  collops  of  fat  on  his  flanks. 

28  And  he  dwelleth  in  deso- 
late cities,  and  in  houses  which 
no  man  inhabiteth,  which  are 
ready  to  become  heaps. 

29  He  shall  not  be  rich,  nei- 
ther shall  his  substance  con- 
tinue, neither  shall  he  prolong 
the  perfection  thereof  upon  the 
earth. 

30  He  shall  not  depart  out  of 
darkness;  the  flame  shall  dry 
up  his  branches,  and  by  the 
breath  of  his  mouth  shall  he  go 
away. 

31  Let  not  him  that  is  de- 
ceived trust  in  vanity :  for  van- 
ity shall  be  his  recompence. 

$2  It  shall  be  accomplished 
before  his  time,  and  his  branch 
shall  not  be  green. 

33  He  shall  shake  off  his  un- 
ripe grape  as  the  vine,  and 
shall  cast  off  his  flower  as  the 
olive. 

34  For  the  congregation  of 
hypocrites  shall  be  desolate, 
and  fire  shall  consume  the  tab- 
ernacles of  bribery. 

35  They  conceive  mischief, 
and  bring  forth  vanity,  and  their 
belly  prepareth  deceit 

CHAPTER  16 

Job  reprove*  hie  friend*  for  unmer-

rpHEN  J6b  answered  and  said, 
1  21  have  heard  many  such 
things:  miserable  comforters 
are  ye  all. 

3  Snail  vain  words  have  an 
end  ?  or  what  emboldeneth  thee 
that  thou  answerest  ? 

4  I  also  could  speak  as  ye  do 
if  your  soul  were  in  my  soul's 
stead,  I  could  heap  up  words 
against  you,  and  shake  mine 
head  at  you. 

5  But  I  would  strengthen  you 
with  my  mouth,  and  the  moving 
of  my  lips  should  asswage  your 
grief. 

6  Though  I  speak,  my  grief  is 
not  asswaged:  and  though  I 
forbear,  what  am  I  eased? 

7  But  now  he  hath  made  me 
weary :  thou  hast  made  desolate 
all  my  company. 

8  And  thou  hast  filled  me  with 
wrinkles,  which  is  a  witness 
against  me:  and  my  leanness 
rising  up  in  me  beareth  witness 
to  my  face. 

9  He  teareth  me  in  his  wrath, 
who  hateth  me:  he  gnasheth 
upon  me  with  his  teeth;  mine 
enemy  sharpeneth  his  eyes  upon 
me. 

10  They  have  gaped  upon  me 
with  their  mouth;  they  have

smitten  me  upon  the  cheek  re- 
proachfully ;  they  have  gathered 
themselves  together  against  me. 

11  God  hath  delivered  me  to 
the  ungodly,  and  turned  me  over 
into  the  hands  of  the  wicked. 

12  I  was  at  ease,  hut  he  hath 
broken  me  asunder:  he  hath 
also  taken  me  by  my  neck,  and 
shaken  me  to  pieces,  and  set  me 
up  for  his  mark. 

13  His  archers  compass  me 
round  about,  he  cleaveth  my 
reins  asunder,  and  doth  not 
spare;  he  poureth  out  my  gall 
upon  the  ground. 

14  He  break eth  me  with  breach 
upon  breach,  he  runneth  upon 
me  like  a  giant 

15  I  have  sewed  sackcloth  up- 
on my  skin,  and  defiled  my  horn 
in  the  dust 

16  My  face  is  foul  with  weep- 
ing, and  on  my  eyelids  is  the 
shadow  of  death ; 

17  Not  for  any  injustice  in 
mine  hands :  also  my  prayer  is 
pure. 

18  0  earth,  cover  not  thou  my 
blood,  and  let  my  cry  have  no 
place. 

19  Also  now,  behold,  my  wit- 
ness is  in  heaven,  and  my  record 
is  on  high. 

20  My  friends  scorn  me:  but 
mine  eye  poureth  out  tears  unto 
God. 

21  0  that  one  might  plead  for 
a  man  with  God,  as  a  man  plead- 
eth  for  his  neighbour ! 

22  When  a  few  years  are  come, 
then  I  shall  go  the  way  whence 
I  shall  not  return. 

CHAPTER  17 
Job  appeals  from  men  to  God.  6  The 
unmerciful  dealing  of  men  with 
the  afflicted  may  astonish,  but  not 
discourage  the  righteous.  11  Job's 
hope. 

MY  breath  is   corrupt,   my 
days  are  extinct,  the  graves 
are  ready  for  me. 

2  Are  there  not  mockers  with 
me  ?  and  doth  not  mine  eye  con- 
tinue in  their  provocation  ? 

3  Lay  down  now,  put  me  in  a 
surety  with  thee;  who  is  he 
that  will  strike  hands  with  me? 

4  For  thou  hast  hid  their  heart 
from  understanding:  therefore 
shalt  thou  not  exalt  them. 

5  He  that  speaketh  flattery  to 
his  friends,  even  the  eyes  of  his 
children  shall  fail. 

6  He  hath  made  me  also  a  by- 
word of  the  people ;  and  afore- 
time I  was  as  a  tabret 

7  Mine  eye  also  is  dim  by  rea-

ShuTiite,  and  said, 

2  How  long  will  it  be  ere  ye 
make  an  end  of  words?  mark, 
and  afterwards  we  will  speak. 

3  Wherefore  are  we  counted 
as  beasts,  and  reputed  vile  in 
your  sight? 

4  He  teareth  himself  in  his 
anger:  shall  the  earth  be  for- 
saken for  thee?  and  shall  the 
rock  be  removed  out  of  his 
place? 

5  Yea,  the  light  of  the  wicked 
shall  be  put  out,  and  the  spark 
of  his  fire  shall  not  shine. 

6  The  light  shall  be  dark  in 
his  tabernacle,  and  his  candle 
shall  be  put  out  with  him. 

7  The  steps  of  his  strength 
shall  be  straitened,  and  his 
own  counsel  shall  cast  him 
down. 

8  For  he  is  cast  into  a  net  bv 
his  own  feet,  and  he  walketh 
upon  a  snare. 

9  The  gin  shall  take  him  bv 
the  heel,  and  the  robber  shall 
prevail  against  him. 

10  The  snare  is  laid  for  him 
in  the  ground,  and  a  trap  for 
him  in  the  way. 

11  Terrors  shall  make  him 
afraid  on  every  side,  and  shall 
drive  him  to  his  feet 

12  His  strength  shall  be  hun- 
gerbitten,  and  destruction  shall 
be  ready  at  his  side.

shall  be  astonied  at  his  day,  as

the  place  of  him  that  knoweth

CHAPTER  19 

Job  complains  of  his  friends*  cruel- 
ty: 2$  his  belief  in  the  resurrec- 
tion, 

HIHEN  Jdb  answered  and  said, 
J.  2  How  long  will  ye  vex 
mv  soul,  and  break  me  in  pieces 
with  words? 

3  These  ten  times  have  ye 
reproached  me:  ye  are  not 
ashamed  that  ye  make  your- 
selves strange  to  me. 

4  And  be  it  indeed  that  I 
have  erred,  mine  error  remain- 
eth  with  myself. 

5  If  indeed  ye  will  magnify 
yourselves  against  me,  and 
plead  against  me  my  reproach : 

6  Know  now  that  God  hath 
overthrown  me,  and  hath  com- 
passed me  with  his  net 

7  Behold,  I  cry  out  of  wrong, 
but  I  am  not  heard :  I  cry  aloud, 
but  there  is  no  judgment. 

8  He  hath  fenced  up  my  way 
that  I  cannot  pass,  and  he  hath 
set  darkness  in  my  paths. 

9  He  hath  stripped  me  of 
my  glory,  and  taken  the  crown 
from  my  head. 

10  He  hath  destroyed  me  on 
every  side,  and  I  am  gone :  and 
mine  hope  hath  he  removed 
like  a  tree. 

11  He  hath  also  kindled  his 
wrath  against  me,  and  he  count- 
eth  me  unto  him  as  one  of  his 
enemies. 


12  His  troops  come  together, 
and  raise  up  their  way  against 
me,  and  encamp  round  about 
my  tabernacle. 

13  He  hath  put  my  brethren 
far  from  me,  and  mine  acquaint- 
ance are  verily  estranged  from 
me. 

14  My  kinsfolk  have  failed, 
and  my  familiar  friends  .have 
forgotten  me. 

15  They  that  dwell  in  mine 
house,  and  my  maids,  count  me 
for  a  stranger :  I  am  an  alien  in 
their  sight 

16  I  called  my  servant,  and  he 

gave  me  no  answer;  Untreated 
im  with  my  mouth. 

17  My  breath  is  strange  to  my 
wife,  though  I  intreated  for  the 
children's  sake  of  mine  own 
body. 

18  Yea,  young  children  de- 
spised me;  I  arose,  and  they 
spake  against  me. 

19  All  my  inward  friends  ab- 
horred me:  and  they  whom  I 
loved  are  turned  against  me. 

20  My  bone  cleaveth  to  my 
skin  and  to  my  flesh,  and  I  am 
escaped  with  the  skin  of  my 
teeth. 

21  Have  pity  upon  me,  have 
pity  upon  me,  O  ye  my  friends ; 
for  the  hand  of  God  hath 
touched  me. 

22  Why  do  ye  persecute  me  as 
God,  and  are  not  satisfied  with 
my  flesh? 

23  Oh  that  my  words  were 
now  written !  oh  that  they  were 
printed  in  a  book ! 

24  That  they  were  graven 
with  an  iron  pen  and  lead  in 
the  rock  for  ever! 

25  For  I  know  that  my  re- 
deemer liveth,  and  that  he  shall 
stand  at  the  latter  day  upon 
the  earth: 

26  And  though  after  my  skin 
worms  destroy  this  body,  yet 
in  my  flesh  shall  I  see  God: 

27  Whom  I  shall  see  for  my- 
self, and  mine  eyes  shall  behold, 
and  not  another;  though  my 
reins  be  consumed  within  me. 

28  But  ye  should  say,  Why 
persecute  we  him,  seeing  the 
root  of  the  matter  is  found  in 
me? 

29  Be  ye  afraid  of  the  sword : 
for  wrath  bringeth  the  punish- 
ments of  the  sword,  that  ye  may 
know  there  is  a  judgment

cause  me  to  answer,  and  for 
this  I  make  haste. 

3  I  have  heard  the  check  of 
my  reproach,  and  the  spirit  of 
my  understanding  canseth  me 
to  answer. 

4  Knowest  thou  not  this  of 
old,  since  man  was  placed  upon 
earth, 

5  That  the  triumphing  of  the 
wicked  is  short,  and  the  joy  of 
the  hypocrite  but  for  a  moment  ? 

6  Though  his  excellency 
mount  up  to  the  heavens,  and 
his  head  reach  unto  the  clouds; 

7  Yet  he  shall  perish  for  ever 
like  his  own  dung :  they  which 
have  seen  him  shall  say,  Where 
is  he? 

8  He  shall  fly  away  as  a  dream, 
and  shall  not  be  found :  yea,  he 
shall  be  chased  away  as  a  vision 
of  the  night 

9  The  eye  also  which  saw  him 
shall  see  him  no  more ;  neither 
shall  his  place  any  more  behold 
him. 

10  His  children  shall  seek  to 
please  the  poor,  and  his  hands 
shall  restore  their  goods. 

11  His  bones  are  full  of  the 
sin  of  his  youth,  which  shall 
lie  down  with  him  in  the  dust 

12  Though  wickedness  be 
sweet  in  his  mouth,  though  he 
hide  it  under  his  tongue; 

13  Though  he  spare  it,  and 
forsake  it  not ;  but  keep  it  still 
within  his  mouth : 

14  Yet  his  meat  in  his  bowels 
is  turned,  it  is  the  gall  of  asps 
within  him. 

15  He  hath  swallowed  down 
riches,  and  he  shall  vomit  them 
up  again :  God  shall  cast  them 
out  of  his  belly. 

16  He  shall  suck  the  poison 
of  asps :  the  viper's  tongue  shall 
slay  him. 

17  He  shall  not  see  the  rivers, 
the  floods,  the  brooks  of  honey 
and  butter. 

18  That  which  he  laboured 
for  shall  he  restore,  and  shall 
not  swallow  it  down :  according 
to  his  substance  shall  the  resti- 
tution be,  and  he  shall  not  re- 
joice therein. 

19  Because  he  hath  oppressed 
and  hath  forsaken  the  poor; 
because  he  hath  violently  taken 
away  an  house  which  he  builded 
not; 

20  Surely  he  shall  not  feel 
quietness  in  his  belly,  he  shall 
not  save  of  that  which  he  de- 
sired. 

21  There  shall  none  of  his 
meat  be  left ;  therefore  shall  no 
man  look  for  his  goods. 

22  In  the  fulness  of  his  suffi- 


ciency he  shall  be  in  straits: 
every  hand  of  the  wicked  shall 
come  upon  him. 

23  When  he  is  about  to  fill  his 
belly,  God  shall  cast  the  fury 
of  his  wrath  upon  him,  and 
shall  rain '  it  upon  him  while 
he  is  eating. 

24  He  shall  flee  from  the  iron 
weapon,  and  the  bow  of  steel 
shall  strike  him  through. 

25  It  is  drawn,  and  cometh  out 
of  the  body;  yea,  the  glittering 
sword  cometh  out  of  his  gall: 
terrors  are  upon  him. 

26  All  darkness  shall  be  hid 
in  his  secret  places:  a  fire  not 
blown  shall  consume  him;  it 
shall  go  ill  with  him  that  is  left 
in  his  tabernacle. 

27  The  heaven  shall  reveal 
his  iniquity ;  and  the  earth  shall 

up  against  him. 

The  increase  of  his  house 
shall  depart,  and  his  goods 
shall  flow  away  in  the  day  of 
his  wrath; 

29  This  is  the  portion  of  a 
wicked  man  from  God,  and  the 
heritage  appointed  unto  him  by 
God. 

CHAPTER  21 

Job  craves  to  be  patiently  heard  be~ 
eause  of  his  calamities :  he  shews 
that  sometimes  the  wieked  do  so 
prosper  that  they  despise  God,  etc, 

BUT  Job  answered  and  said, 
2  Heardiligentlymyspeech, 
and  let  this  be  your  consola- 
tions. 

3  Suffer  me  that  I  may  speak ; 
and  after  that  I  have  spoken, 
mock  on. 

4  As  for  me,  is  my  complaint 
to  man  ?  and  if  it  were  so,  why 
should  not  my  spirit  be  troub- 
led? 

5  Mark  me,  and  be  astonished, 
and  lay  your  hand  upon  your 
mouth. 

6  Even  when  I  remember 
am  afraid,  and  trembling  taketh 
hold  on  my  flesh. 

7  Wherefore  do  the  wicked 
live,  become  old,  yea,  are  mighty 
in  power? 

8  Their  seed  is  established  in 
their  sight  with  them,  and  their 
offspring  before  their  eyes. 

9  Their  houses  are  safe  from 
fear,  neither  is  the  rod  of  God 
upon  them. 

10  Their  bull  pendereth,  and 
faileth  not ;  their  cow  calveth, 
and  casteth  not  her  calf. 

11  They  send  forth  their  little 
ones  like  a  flock,  and  their  chil- 
dren dance. 

12  They  take  the  timbrel  and 
harp,  and  rejoice  at  the  sound 
of  the  organ. 

13  They  spend  their  days  in

wealth,  and  in  a  moment  go 
down  to  the  grave. 

14  Therefore  they  say  unto 
God,  Depart  from  us;  for  we 
desire  not  the  knowledge  of 
thy  ways. 

15  What  is  the  Almighty,  that 
we  should  serve  him?  and  what 
profit  should  we  have,  if  we  pray 
unto  him? 

16  Lop  their  good  is  not  in 
their  hand:  the  counsel  of  the 
wicked  is  far  from  me. 

17  How  oft  is  the  candle  of 
the  wicked  put  out  I  and  how 
oft  cometh  their  destruction 
upon  them!  God  distributeth 
sorrows  in  his  anger. 

18  They  are  as  stubble  before 
the  wind;  and  as  chaff  that  the 
storm  carrieth  away. 

19  God  laveth  up  his  iniquity 
for  his  children :  ne  rewardeth 
him,  and  he  shall  know  it. 

20  His  eyes  shall  see  his  de- 
struction, and  he  shall  drink  of 
the  wrath  of  the  Almighty. 

21  For  what  pleasure  hath  he 
in  his  house  after  him,  when  the 
number  of  his  months  is  cut  off 
in  the  midst? 

22  Shall  any  teach  God  knowl 
edge?  seeing  he  judgeth  those 
that  are  high. 

23  One  dieth  in  his  full 
strength,  being  wholly  at  ease 
and  quiet 

24  His  breasts  are  full  of 
milk,  and  his  bones  are  moist- 
ened with  marrow. 

25  And  another  dieth  in  the 
bitterness  of  his  soul,  and  never 
eateth  with  pleasure. 

26  They  shall  lie  down  alike 
in  the  dust,  and  the  worms  shall 
cover  them. 

27  Behold,  I  know  your 
thoughts,  and  the  devices 
which  ye  wrongfully  imagine 
against  me. 

28  For  ye  say,  Where  is  the 
house  of  the  prince  ?  and  where 
are  the  dwelling  places  of  the 
wicked? 

29  Have  ye  not  asked  them 
that  go  by  the  way  ?  and  do  ye 
not  know  their  tokens, 

30  That  the  wicked  is  reserved 
to  the  day  of  destruction  ?  they 
shall  be  brought  forth  to  the 
day  of  wrath. 

31  Who  shall  declare  \\&  way 
to  his  face?  and  who  shall 
repay  him  what  he  hath 
done? 

32  Yet  shall  he  be  brought  to 
the  grave,  and  shall  remain  in 
the  tomb. 

33  The  clods  of  the  valley 
shall  be  sweet  unto  him,  and 
every  man  shall  draw  after  him, 


as  there  are  innumerable  be- 
fore him. 

34  How  then  comfort  ye  me 
in  vain,  seeing  in  your  answers 
there  remaineth  falsehood? 

CHAPTER  22 

ESLipha*  skews  that  God  is  not  prof- 
ited by  man's  goodness:  5  he  ac- 
cuses Job  of  divers  sins:  21  he 
exhorts  kim  to  repentance,  etc 

rnHEN  fil'i-pha*  the  TS'man- 
X   ite  answered  and  said, 

2  Can  a  man  be  profitable  unto 
God,  as  he  that  is  wise  may  be 
profitable  unto  himself  ? 

3  Is  it  any  pleasure  to  the 
Almighty,  that  thou  art  right- 
eous? ox  is  it  gain  to  him*  that 
thou  makest  thy  ways  perfect? 

4  Will  he  reprove  thee  for  fear 
of  thee  ?  will  ne  enter  with  thee 
into  judgment? 

5  J*  not  thy  wickedness  great? 
and  thine  iniquities  infinite? 

6  For  thou  hast  taken  a 
pledge  from  thy  brother  for 
nought,  and  stripped  the  naked 
of  their  clothing. 

7  Thou  bast  not  given  water 
to  the  weary  to  drink,  and  thou 
hast  withholden  bread  from  the 
hungry. 

8  But  as  for  the  mighty  man, 
he  had  the  earth ;  and  the  hon- 
ourable man  dwelt  in  it. 

9  Thou  hast  sent  widows  away 
empty,  and  the  arms  of  the  fa- 
therless have  been  broken. 

10  Therefore  snares  are  round 
about  thee,  and  sudden  fear 
troubieth  thee; 

11  Or  darkness,  £/ia£  thou  canst 
not  see;  and  abundance  of  wa- 
ters cover  thee. 

12  Is  not  God  in  the  height  of 
heaven?  and  behold  the  height 
of  the  stars,  how  high  they  are " 

13  And  thou  sayest,  How  doth 
God  know?  can  he  judge  through 
the  dark  cloud? 

14  Thick  clouds  are  a  cover- 
ing to  him,  that  he  seeth  not ; 
and  he  walketh  in  the  circuit  of 
heaven. 

15  Hast  thou  marked  the  old 
way  which  wicked  men  have 
trodden  ? 

16  Which  were  cut  down  out 
of  time,  whose  foundation  was 
overflown  with  a  flood : 

17  Which  said  unto  God,  De- 
part from  us :  and  what  can  the 
Almighty  do  for  them  ? 

18  Yet  he  filled  their  houses 
with  good  things  :  but  the  coun- 
sel of  the  wicked  is  far  from  me. 

19  The  righteous  see  %t9  and 
are  glad:  and  the  innocent  laugh 
them  to  scorn. 

20  Whereas  our  substance  is 
not  cut  down,  but  the  remnant

21  Acquaint  now  thyself  with 
him,  and  be  at  peace :  thereby 
good  shall  come  unto  thee. 

22  Receive,  I  pray  thee,  the 
law  from  his  mouth,  and  lay  up 
his  words  in  thine  heart 

23  If  thou  return  to  the  Al- 
mighty, thou  shalt  be  built  up, 
thou  shalt  put  away  iniquity  far 
from  thy  tabernacles. 

24  Then  shalt  thou  lay  up  gold 
as  dust,  and  the  gold  of  O'phir 
as  the  stones  of  the  brooks. 

25  Yea,  the  Almighty  shall  be 
thy  defence,  and  thou  shalt  have 
plenty  of  silver. 

26  For  then  shalt  thou  have 
thy  delight  in  the  Almighty, 
and  shalt  lift  up  thy  face  unto 
God. 

27  Thou  shalt  make  thy  prayer 
unto  him,  and  heshall  hear  thee, 
and  thou  shalt  pay  thy  vows. 

28  Thou  shaft  also  decree  a 
thing,  and  it  shall  be  established 
unto  thee :  and  the  light  shall 
shine  upon  thy  ways. 

29  When  men  are  cast  down, 
then  thou  shalt  say,  There  is 
lifting  up;  and  he  shall  save 
the  humble  person. 

30  He  shall  deliver  the  island 
of  the  innocent :  and  it  is  deliv- 
ered by  the  pureness  of  thine 
hands. 

CHAPTER  23 

Job  longs  to  appear  before  God,  6  in 
confidence  of  his  mercy.  13  God* a 
decree  immutable. 

THEN  Job  answered  and  said, 
2  Even  to  day  is  my  com- 
plaint bitter:  my  stroke  is  heav- 
ier than  my  groaning. 

3  Oh  that  I  knew  where  I 
might  find  him!  that  I  might 
come  even  to  his  seat ! 

4  I  would  order  my  cause  be- 
fore him,  and  fill  my  mouth  with 
arguments. 

5  I  would  know  the  words 
which  he  would  answer  me, 
and  understand  what  he  would 
say  unto  me. 

6  Will  he  plead  against  me 
with  his  great  power  ?  No;  but 
he  would  put  strength  in  me. 

7  There  the  righteous  might 
dispute  with  him;  so  should  I 
be  delivered  for  ever  from  my 
judge. 

8  Behold,  I  go  forward,  but 
he  is  not  there  ;  and  backward, 
but  I  cannot  perceive  him : 

9  On  the  left  hand,  where  he 
doth  work,  but  I  cannot  behold 
him :  he  hideth  himself  on  the 
right  hand,  that  I  cannot  see 
him: 

10  But  he  knoweth  the  way 
that  I  take:  when  he  hath  tried 


me,  I  shall  come  forth  as  gold. 

11  My  foot  hath  held  his  steps, 
his  way  have  I  kept,  and  not  de- 
clined. 

12  Neither  have  I  gone  back 
from  the  commandment  of  his 
lips ;  I  have  esteemed  the  words 
of  his  mouth  more  than  my  nec- 
essary food. 

13  But  he  is  in  one  mind,  and 
who  can  turn  him  ?  and  what 
his  soul  desireth,  even  that  he 
doeth. 

14  Forheperformetht&et/unp 
that  is  appointed  for  me:  and 
many  such  things  are  with  him. 

15  Therefore  am  I  troubled  at 
his  presence :  when  I  consider, 
I  am  afraid  of  him. 

16  For  God  maketh  my  heart 
soft,  and  the  Almighty  troubleth 
me: 

17  Because  I  was  not  cut  off 
before  the  darkness,  neither 
hath  he  covered  the  darkness 
from  my  face. 

CHAPTER  24 

Sin  often  goes  unpunished  in  this 
life.  12  Of  God'  a  providence  in  all 
things,  etc 

WHY,  seeing  times  are 
not  hidden  from  the  Al- 
mighty, do  they  that  know  him 
not  see  his  days? 

2  Some  remove  the  land- 
marks; they  violently  take 
away  flocks,  and  feed  thereof. 

3  They  drive  away  the  ass  of 
the  fatherless,  they  take  the 
widow's  ox  for  a  pledge. 

4  They  turn  the  needy  out  of 
the  way :  the  poor  of  the  earth 
hide  themselves  together. 

5  Behold,  as  wild  asses  in  the 
desert,  go  they  forth  to  their 
work ;  rising  betimes  for  a  prey : 
the  wilderness  yieldeth  food 
for  them  and  for  their  children. 

6  They  reap  every  one  his 
corn  in  the  field:  and  they 
gather  the  vintage  of  the  wick- 
ed. 

7  They  cause  the  naked  to 
lodge  without  clothing,  that 
they  have  no  covering  in  the 
cold. 

8  They  are  wet  with  the 
showers  of  the  mountains,  and 
embrace  the  rock  for  want  of  a 
shelter. 

9  Thev  pluck  the  fatherless 
from  tpe  breast,  and  take  a 
pledge  of  the  poor. 

10  They  cause  him  to  go  na- 
ked without  clothing,  and  they 
take  away  the  sheaf  from  the 
hungry; 

11  which  make  oil  within 
their  walls,  and  tread  their 
winepresses,  and  suffer  thirst 

12  Men  groan  from  out  of  the

city,  and  the  soul  of  the  wound 
ed  crieth  out:  yet  God  layeth 
not  folly  to  them. 

13  They  are  of  those  that  re- 
bel against  the  light;  they 
know  not  the  ways  thereof,  nor 
abide  in  the  paths  thereof. 

14  The  murderer  rising  with 
the  light  killeth  the  poor  and 
needy,  and  in  the  night  is  as  a 
thief. 

15  The  eye  also  of  the  adul- 
terer waiteth  for  the  twilight, 
saying,  No  eye  shall  see  me: 
and  disguiseth  his  face. 

16  In  the  dark  they  dig 
through  houses,  which  they 
had  marked  for  themselves  in 
the  daytime:  they  know  not 
the  light 

17  For  the  morning  is  to  them 
even  as  the  shadow  of  death: 
if  one  know  them,  they  are  in 
the  terrors  of  the  shadow  of 
death. 

18  He  is  swift  as  the  waters; 
their  portion  is  cursed  in  the 
earth:  he  beholdeth  not  the 
way  of  the  vineyards. 

19  Drought  and  heat  consume 
the  snow  waters:  so  doth  the 
grave  those  which  have  sinned. 

20  The  womb  shall  forget 
him;  the  worm  shall  feed 
sweetly  on  him ;  he  shall  be  no 
more  remembered ;  and  wicked- 
ness shall  be  broken  as  a  tree. 

21  He  evil  entreateth  the  bar- 
ren that  beareth  not :  and  doeth 
not  good  to  the  widow. 

22  He  draweth  also  the  mighty 
with  his  power:  he  riseth  up, 
and  no  man  is  sure  of  life. 

23  Though  it  be  given  him  to 
be  in  safety,  whereon  he  rest- 
eth;  yet  his  eyes  are  upon 
their  ways. 

24  They  are  exalted  for  a  lit- 
tle while,  but  are  gone  and 
brought  low;  they  are  taken 
out  of  the  way  as  all  other,  and 
cut  off.  as  the  tops  of  the  ears 
of  corn. 

25  And  if  it  be  not  so  now,  who 
will  make  me  a  liar,  and  make 
my  speech  nothing  worth? 

CHAPTER  25 

Bildad  declares  the  sovereignty  of 
God,  be/ore  whom  man  cannot  be 
justified, 

rflHEN  answered  Bil'dfid  the 
X  Shulute,  and  said, 

2  Dominion  and  fear  are  with 
him,  he  maketh  peace  in  his 
high  places. 

3  Is  there  any  number  of  his 
armies?  and  upon  whom  doth 
not  his  light  arise? 

4  How  then  can  man  be  justi- 
fied with  God  ?  or  how  can  he  be 
clean  that  is  born  of  a  woman  ? 


5  Behold  even  to  the  moon, 
and  it  shineth  not;  yea,  the 
stars  are  not  pure  in  his  sight. 

6  How  much  less  man,  that  is 
a  worm?  and  the  son  of  man, 
which  is  a  worm  ? 

CHAPTER  26 

Job  reproves  the  uncharitable  spirit 
of  BUdadL  5  God's  power  infinite 
and  unsearchable. 

BUT  Job  answered  and  said, 
2  How  hast  thou   helped 
him  that  is  without  power? 
how  savest  thou  the  arm  that 
hath  no  strength  ? 

3  How  hast  thou  counselled 
him  that  hath  no  wisdom?  and 
how  hast  thou  plentifully  de- 
clared the  thing  as  it  is? 

4  To  whom  hast  thou  uttered 
words?  and  whose  spirit  came 
from  thee? 

5  Dead  things  are  formed 
from  under  the  Waters,  and  the 
inhabitants  thereof. 

6  Hell  is  naked  before  him, 
and  destruction  hath  no  cover- 
ing. 

7  He  stretcheth  out  the  north 
over  the  empty  place,  and  hang- 
eth  the  earth  upon  nothing. 

8  He  bindeth  up  the  waters  in 
his  thick  clouds;  and  the  doud 
is  not  rent  under  them. 

9  He  holdeth  back  the  face  of 
his  throne,  and  spreadeth  his 
cloud,  upon  it 

10  He  hath  compassed  the  wa- 
ters with  bounds,  until  the  day 
and  night  come  to  an  end. 

11  The  pillars  of  heaven  trem- 
ble and  are  astonished  at  his  re- 
proof. 

12  He  divideth  the  sea  with 
his  power,  and  by  his  under- 
standing he  smiteth  through 
the  proud. 

13  Bv  his  spirit  be  hath  gar- 
nished the  heavens;  his  hand 
hath  formed  the  crooked  ser- 
pent 

14  Lo,  these  are  parts  of  his 
ways:  but  how  little  a  portion 
is  heard  of  him?  but  the  thun- 
der of  his  power  who  can  un- 
derstand? 

CHAPTER  27 

Job  declares  his  sincerity.    8  The 

hypocrite  without  hope. 

MOREOVER  J5b  continued 
his  parable,  and  said, 

2  As  God  liveth,  who  hath 
taken  away  my  judgment ;  and 
the  Almighty,  who  hath  vexed 
my  soul ; 

3  All  the  while  mv  breath  is 
in  me,  and  the  spirit  of  God  is 
in  my  nostrils ; 

4  My  lips  shall  not  speak 
wickedness,  nor  my  tongue  ut-

5  God  forbid  that  I  should

6  My  righteousness  I  hold 
fast,  and  will  not  let  it  go:  my 
heart  shall  not  reproach  me  so 
lone  as  I  live. 

7  Let  mine  enemy  be  as  the 
wicked,  and  he  that  riseth  up 
against  me  as  the  unrighteous. 

8  For  what  is  the  hope  of 
the  hypocrite,  though  he  hath 
gained,  when  God  taketh  away 
his  soul? 

9  Will  God  hear  his  cry  when 
trouble  cometh  upon  him  ? 

10  Will  he  delight  himself  in 
the  Almighty?  will  he  always 
call  upon  God? 

11  I  will  teach  you  bv  the 
hand  of  God:  that  which  is 
with  the  Almighty  will  I  not 
conceal. 

12  Behold,  all  ye  yourselves 
have  seen  it ;  why  then  are  ye 
thus  altogether  vain  ? 

13  This  is  the  portion  of  a 
wicked  man  with  God,  and  the 
heritage  of  oppressors,  which 
they  shall  receive  of  the  Al- 
mighty. 

14  If  his  children  be  multi 
ed,  it  is  t or  the  sword :  and 

lis  offspring  shall  not  be  satis- 
fied with  bread. 

15  Those  that  remain  of  him 
shall  be  buried  in  death:  and 
his  widows  shall  not  weep. 


16  Though  he  heap  up  silver  the  land  of  the  living. 


as  the  dust,  and  prepare  rai« 
meat  as  the  clay; 

17  He  may  prepare  it,  but  the 
just  shall  put  it  on,  and  the  in- 
nocent shall  divide  the  silver. 

18  He  buildeth  his  house  as  a 
moth,  and  as  a  booth  thai  the 
keeper  maketh. 

19  The  rich  man  shall  lie 
down,  but  he  shall  not  be  gath- 
ered :  he  openeth  his  eyes,  and 
he  is  not. 

20  Terrors  take  hold  on  him 
as  waters,  a  tempest  stealeth 
him  away  in  the  night. 

21  The  east  wind  carrieth  him 
away,  and  he  departeth :  and  as 
a  storm  hurleth  him  out  of  his 
place. 

22  For  God  shall  cast  upon 
him,  and  not  spare:  he  would 
fain  flee  out  of  his  hand. 

23  Men  shall  clap  their  hands 


of  his  place. 

CHAPTER  28 

There  ie  a  knowledge  of 
thing*,  12  but  wisdom  is 
eeUent  gift  of  God. 

SURELY  there  is  a  vein  for 
the  silver,  and:  a  place  for 
gold  where  they  fine  xt.

2  Iron  is  taken  out  of  the 
earth,  and  brass  is  molten  out 
of  the  stone. 

3  He  setteth  an  end  to  dark- 
ness, and  searcheth  out  all  per- 
fection: the  stones  of  darkness, 
and  the  shadow  of  death. 

4  The  flood  breaketh  out 
from  the  inhabitant;  even  the 
waters  forgotten  of  the  foot: 
they  are  dried  up,  they  are  gone 
away  from  men. 

5  As  for  the  earth,  out  of  it 
cometh  bread:  and  under  it  is 
turned  up  as  it  were  fire. 

6  The  stones  of  it  are  the 
place  of  sapphires:  and  it  hath 
dust  of  gold. 

7  There  is  a  path  which  no 
fowl  knoweth,  and  which  the 
vulture's  eye  hath  not  seen : 

8  The  lion's  whelps  have  not 
trodden  it,  nor  the  fierce  lion 
passed  by  it 

9  He  putteth  forth  his  hand 
upon  the  rock;  he  overturn eth 
the  mountains  by  the  roots. 

10  He  cutteth  out  rivers 
among  the  rocks;  and  his  eye 
seeth  every  precious  thing. 

11  He  bindeth  the  floods  from 
overflowing;  and  the  thing  that 
is  hid  brinffeth  he  forth  to  light. 

12  But  where  shall  wisdom  be 
found?  and  where  is  the  place 
of  understanding? 

13  Man  knoweth  not  the  price 
thereof;  neither  is  it  found  in 


14  The  depth  saith,  It  is  not 
in  me:  and  the  sea  saith,  It  is 
not  with  me. 

15  It  cannot  be  gotten  for 
gold,  neither  shall  silver  be 
weighed  for  the  price  thereof. 

16  It  cannot  be  valued  with 
the  gold  of  O'phir,  with  the 
precious  onyx,  or  the  sapphire. 

17  The  gold  and  the  crystal 
cannot  equal  it:  and  the  ex- 
change of  it  shall  not  be  for 
jewels  of  fine  gold. 

18  No  mention  shall  be  made 
of  coral,  or  of  pearls:  for  the 
price  of  wisdom  is  above  rubies. 

19  The  topaz  of  B4hW'pI-a 
shall  not  equal  it,  neither  shall 
it  be  valued  with  pure  gold. 

20  Whence  then  cometh  wis- 
dom? and  where  is  the  place 
of  understanding? 

21  Seeing  it  is  hid  from  the 


at  him,  and  shall  hiss  him  out  eyes  of  allliving,  and  kept  close 


from  the  fowls  of  the  air. 

22  Destruction  and  death  say, 
We  have  heard  the  fame  there- 
of with  our  ears. 

23  God  understandeth  the  way 
thereof,  and  he  knoweth  the 
place  thereof. 

24  For  he  looketh  to  the  ends

CHAPTER  29 

Job  bemoans  himaelftoken.be  remem- 
ber* his  former  prosperity  and 
honour, 

MOREOVER  J5b  continued 
his  parable,  and  said, 

2  Oh  that  I  were  as  in  months 
past,  as  in  the  days  when  God 
preserved  me; 

3  When  his  candle  shined  up- 
on my  head,  and  when  by  his 
light  I  walked  through  dark- 


4  As  I  was  in  the  days  of  my 
youth,  when  the  secret  of  God 
was  upon  my  tabernacle ; 

5  When  the  Almighty  was 
yet  with  me,  when  my  children 
were  about  me; 

6  When  I  washed  my  steps 
with  butter,  and  the  rock  poured 
me  out  rivers  of  oil ; 

7  When  I  went  out  to  the  gate 
through  the  city,  when  I  pre- 
pared my  seat  in  the  street  f 

8  The  young  men  saw  me, 
and  hid  themselves:  and  the 
aged  arose,  and  stood  up. 

9  The  princes  refrained  talk- 
ing, and  laid  their  hand  on  their 
mouth. 

10  The  nobles  held  their 
peace,  and  their  tongue  cleaved 
to  the  roof  of  their  mouth. 

11  When  the  ear  heard  me, 
then  it  blessed  me;  and  when 
the  eye  saw  me,  it  gave  witness 
tome: 

12  Because  I  delivered  the 
poor  that  cried,  and  the  father- 
less, and  him  that  had  none  to 
help  him. 

13  The  blessing  of  him  that 
was  ready  to  pensh  came  upon 
me:  and  I  caused  the  widow's 
heart  to  sing  for  joy. 

14  I  put  on  righteousness, 
and  it  clothed  me:  my  judg- 
ment was  as  a  robe  and  a 
diadem. 

15  I  was  eyes  to  the  blind,  and 
feet  was  I  to  the  lame. 

16  I  was  a  father  to  the  poor 
and  the  cause  which  I  knew  not 
I  searched  out 

17  And  I  brake  the  jaws  of 


the  wicked,  and  plucked  the 
spoil  out  of  his  teeth. 

18  Then  I  said,  I  shall  die  in 
my  nest,  and  I  shall  multiply 
my  days  as  the  sand. 

19  My  root  was  spread  out  by 
the  waters,  and  the  dew  lay  all 
night  upon  my  branch. 

20  My  glory  was  fresh  in  me, 
and  my  bow  was  renewed  in  my 
hand. 

21  Unto  me  men  gave  ear, 
and  waited,  and  kept  silence 
at  my  counsel. 

22  After  my  words  they  spake 
not  again ;  and  my  speech 
dropped  upon  them. 

23  And  they  waited  for  me  as 
for  the  rain ;  and  they  opened 
their  .mouth  wide  as  for  the 
latter  rain. 

TAlfl  laughed  on  them,  they 
believed  it  not;  and  the  light 
of  my  countenance  they  cast 
not  down. 

25  I  chose  out  their  way,  and 
sat  chief,  and  dwelt  as  a  king 
in  the  army,  as  one  that  com- 
forteth  the  mourners. 

CHAPTER  30 

Job's  honour  turned  into  extreme 
contempt:  15  his  prosperity  into 
calamity. 

BUT  now  they  that  are 
vounger  than  I  have  me  in 
derision,  whose  fathers  I  would 
have  disdained  to  have  set  with 
the  dogs  of  my  flock. 

2  Yea,  whereto  might  the 
strength  of  their  hands  profit 
me,  in  whom  old  age  was  per- 
ished? 

3  For  want  and  famine  they 
were  solitary ;  fleeing  into  the 
wilderness  in  former  time  deso- 
late and  waste. 

4  Who  cut  up  mallows  by  the 
bushes,  and  juniper  roots  for 
their  meat 

5  They  were  driven  forth 
from  among  men,  (they  cried 
after  them  as  after  a  thief;) 

6  To  dwell  in  the  cliffs  of  the 
valleys,  in  caves  of  the  earth, 
and  %n  the  rocks. 

7  Among  the  bushes  they 
brayed ;  under  the  nettles  they 
were  gathered  together. 

8  They  were  children  of  fools, 
yea,  children  of  base  men :  they 
were  viler  than  the  earth. 

9  And  now  am  I  their  song, 
yea,  I  am  their  byword. 

10  They  abhor  me,  they  flee 
far  from  me,  and  spare  not  to 
spit  in  my  face. 

11  Because  he  hath  loosed  my 
cord,  and  afflicted  me,  they 
have  also  let  loose  the  bridle 
before  me.

the  youth ;  they  push  away  my 
feet,  and  they  raise  up  against  me 
the  ways,  of  their  destruction. 

13  They  mar  my  path,  they 
set  forward  my  calamity,  they 
have  no  helper. 

14  They  came  upon  me  as  & 
wide  breaking  in  of  waters: 
in  the  desolation  they  rolled 
themselves  upon  me. 

15  Terrors  are  turned  upon 
me :  they  pursue  my  soul  as  the 
wind :  and  my  welfare  passeth 
away  as  a  cloud. 

16  And  now  my  soul  is  poured 
out  upon  me ;  the  days  of  afflic- 
tion have  taken  hold  upon  me. 

17  My  bones  are  pierced  in 
me  in  the  night  season :  and  my 
sinews  take  no  rest 

18  By  the  great  force  of  my 
disease  is  my  garment  changed : 
it  bindeth  me  about  as  the  col- 
lar of  my  coat. 

19  He  hath  cast  me  into  the 
mire,  and  I  am  become  like 
dust  and  ashes. 

20  I  cry  unto  thee,  and  thou 
dost  not  hear  me:  I  stand  up, 
and  thou  regardest  me  not. 

21  Thou  art  become  cruel  to 
me :  with  thy  strong  hand  thou 
opposest  thyself  against  me. 

22  Thou  lif  test  me  up  to  the 
wind;  thou  causest  me  to  ride 
upon  it,  and  dissolvest  my  sub- 
stance. 

23  For  I  know  that  thou  wilt 
bring  me  to  death,  and  to  the 
house  appointed  for  all  living. 

24  Howbeit  he  will  not  stretch 
out  his  hand  to  the  grave, 
though  they  cry  in  his  destruc- 
tion. 

25  Did  not  I  weep  for  him 
that  was  in  trouble?  was  not 
my  soul  grieved  for  the  poor? 

26  When  I  looked  for  good, 
then  evil  came  unto  me :  and 
when  I  waited  for  light,  there 
came  darkness. 

27  My  bowels  boiled,  and 
rested  not:  the  days  of  afflic- 
tion prevented  me. 

28  I  went  mourning  without 
the  sun :  I  stood  up,  and  I  cried 
in  the  congregation. 

29  I  am  a  brother  to  dragons, 
and  a  companion  to  owls. 

30  My  skin  is  black  upon  me, 
and  my  bones  are  burned  with 
heat 

31  My  harp  also  is  turned  to 
mourning,  and  my  organ  into 
the  voice  of  them  that  weep. 

CHAPTER  31 

Job's  solemn  protestation  of  his  in- 
tegrity. 

I  MADE  a  covenant  with  mine 
eves;    why   then   should  I 
think  upon  a  maid? 


2  For  what  portion  of  God  is 
there  from  above  ?  and  what  in- 
heritance  of  the  Almighty  from 
on  high? 

3  Is  not  destruction  to  the 
wicked?  and  a  strange  pun- 
ishment to  the  workers  of  iniq- 
uity? 

4  Doth  not  he  see  my  ways, 
and  count  all  my  steps  ? 

5  If  I  have  walked  with  van- 
ity, or  if  my  foot  hath  hasted  to 
deceit; 

6  Let  me  be  weighed  in  an  even 
balance,  that  God  may  know 
mine  integrity. 

7  If  my  step  hath  turned  out  of 
the  way,  and  mine  heart  walked 
after  mine  eyes,  and  if  an v  blot 
hath  cleaved  to  mine  hands ; 

8  Then  let  me  sow,  and  let 
another  eat;  yea,  let  my  off- 
spring be  rooted  out 

9  If  mine  heart  have  been  de- 
ceived by  a  woman,  or  if  I  have 
laid  wait  at  my  neighbour's  door ; 

10  Then  let  my  wife  grind  un- 
to another,  and  let  others  bow 
down  upon  her. 

11  For  this  is  an  heinous 
crime ;  yea,  it  is  an  iniquity  to 
be  punished  by  the  judges. 

12  For  it  is  a  fire  that  consum- 
eth  to  destruction,  and  would 
root  out  all  mine  increase. 

13  If  I  did  despise  the  cause  of 
my  manservant  or  of  my  maid- 
servant, when  they  contended 
with  me ; 

14  What  then  shall  I  do  when 
God  riseth  up?  and  when  he 
visiteth,  what  shall  I  answer 
him? 

15  Did  not  he  that  made  me  in 
the  womb  make  him  ?  and  did 
not  one  fashion  us  in  the  womb  ? 

16  If  I  have  withheld  the  poor 
from  their  desire,or  have  caused 
the  eyes  of  the  widow  to  fail ; 

17  Or  have  eaten  my  morsel 
myself  alone,  and  the  fatherless 
hath  not  eaten  thereof ; 

18  (For  from  my  youth  he  was 
brought  up  with  me,  s&with  a  fa- 
ther, and  I  have  guided  her  from 
my  mother's  womb ; ) 

19  If  I  have  seen  any  perish 
for  want  of  clothing,  or  any  poor 
without  covering ; 

20  If  his  loins  have  not  blessed 
me,  and  if  he  were  not  warmed 
with  the  fleece  of  my  sheep ; 

21  If  I  have  lifted  up  my  hand 
against  the  fatherless,  when 
saw  my  help  in  the  gate : 

22  Then  let  mine  arm  fall 
from  my  shoulder  blade,  and 
mine  arm  be  broken  from  the 
bone. 

23  For  destruction  from  God 
was  a  terror  to  me,  and  by  rea-

son  of  his  highness  I  could  not 
endure. 

24  If  I  have  made  gold  my 
hope,  or  have  said  to  the  fine 
gold.  Thou  art  my  confidence ; 

25  If  I  rejoiced  because  my 
wealth  was  great,  and  because 
mine  hand  had  gotten  much ; 

26  If  I  beheld  the  sun  when  it 
shined,  or  the  moon  walking  in 
brightness ; 

27  And  my  heart  hath  been 
secretly  enticed,  or  my  mouth 
hath  kissed  my  hand: 

28  This  also  were  an  iniquity 
to  be  punished  by  the  judge : 
for  I  should  have  denied  the 
God  that  is  above. 

29  If  I  rejoiced  at  the  destruc- 
tion of  him  that  hated  me,  or 
lifted  up  myself  when  evil  found 
him: 

30  Neither  have  I  suffered  my 
mouth  to  sin  by  wishing  a  curse 
to  his  soul. 

31  If  the  men  of  my  tabernacle 
said  not,  Oh  that  we  had  of  his 
flesh !  we  cannot  be  satisfied. 

32  The  stranger  did  not  lodge 
in  the  street :  but  I  opened  my 
doors  to  the  traveller. 

33  If  I  covered  my  transgres- 
sions as  Ad'am,  by  hiding  mine 
iniquity  in  my  bosom : 

34  Did  I  fear  a  great  multitude, 
or  did  the  contempt  of  families 
terrify  me,  that  I  kept  silence, 
and  went  not  out  of  the  door  ? 

35  Oh  that  one  would  hear  me! 
behold,  my  desire  is,  that  the 
Almighty  would  answer  me,  and 
that  mine  adversary  had  written 
a  book. 

36  Surely  I  would  take  it  upon 
my  shoulder,  and  bind  it  as  a 
crown  to  me. 

37  I  would  declare  unto  him 
the  number  of  my  steps ;  as  a 
prince  would  I  go  near  unto  him. 

38  If  my  land  cry  against 
me,  or  that  the  furrows  like- 
wise thereof  complain; 

39  If  I  have  eaten  the  fruits 
thereof  without  money,  or  have 
caused  the  owners  thereof  to 
lose  their  life: 

40  Let  thistles  grow  instead 
of  wheat,  and  cockle  instead  of 
barley.  The  words  of  J5b  are 
ended. 

CHAPTER  32 

Elihu  is  angry  with  Job  and  his  three 
friends :  11  he  reproves  them  for 
not  satisfying  Job. 

SO  these  three  men  ceased  to 
answer  Job,  because  he  was 
righteous  in  his  own  eyes. 
2  Then  was  kindled  the  wrath 
of  frliliG  the  son  of  BaYa-chfcl 
the  Ba'zite,  of  the  kindred  of 
Ram:    against    Job    was    his 


wrath  kindled,  because  he  Jus- 
tified himself  rather  than  God. 

3  Also  against  his  three 
friends  was  his  wrath  kindled, 
because  they  had  found  no  an- 
swer, and  yet  had  condemned 
Job. 

4  Now  E-liTiQ  had  waited  till 
Job  had  spoken,  because  they 
were  elder  than  he. 

5  When  fi-lfha  saw  that  there 
was  no  answer  in  the  mouth  of 
these  three  men,  then  his  wrath 
was  kindled. 

6  And  £-irhu  the  son  of 
BaVa-chgl  the  Bu'zite  answered 
and  said,  I  am  young,  and  ye 
are  very  old ;  wherefore  I  was 
afraid,  and  durst  not  shew  you 
mine  opinion. 

7  I  said,  Days  should  speak, 
and  multitude  of  years  should 
teach  wisdom. 

8  But  there  is  a  spirit  in 
man:  and  the  inspiration  of 
the  Almighty  giveth  them  un- 
derstanding. 

9  Great  men  are  not  always 
wise:  neither  do  the  aged  un- 
derstand judgment 

10  Therefore  I  said,  Hearken 
to  me;  I  also  will  shew  mine 
opinion. 

11  Behold,  I  waited  for  your 
words ;  I  gave  ear  to  your  rea- 
sons, whilst  ye  searched  out 
what  to  say. 

12  Yea,  I  attended  unto  you, 
and,  behold,  there  was  none  of 
you  that  convinced  J6b,  or  that 
answered  his  words: 

13  Lest  ye  should  say,  We 
have  found  out  wisdom:  God 
thrusteth  him  down,  not  man, 

14  Now  he  hath  not  directed 
his  words  against  me :  neither 
will  I  answer  him  with  your 
speeches. 

15  They  were  amazed,  they 
answered  no  more:  they  left 
off  speaking. 

16  When  I  had  waited,  (for 
they  spake  not,  but  stood  still, 
ana  answered  no  more;) 

17  I  said,  I  will  answer  also 
my  part,  I  also  will  shew  mine 
opinion. 

18  For  I  am  full  of  matter, 
the  spirit  within  me  constrain- 
eth  me. 

19  Behold,  my  belly  is  as 
wine  which  hath  no  vent;  it 
is  ready  to  burst  like  new  bot- 
tles. 

20  I  will  speak,  that  I  may  be 
refreshed:  f  will  open  my  lips 
and  answer. 

21  Let  me  not,  I  pray  you,  ac- 
cept any  man's  person,  neither 
let  me  give  flattering  titles  un- 
to man.

Elihu  offers  to  reason  with  Job:  8 
he  excuses  God  from  giving  men  an 
account  of  his  ways:  14  God  calls 
men  to  repentance  by  visions,  af-

TX7HEREF0RE,  J5h,  I  pray

shall  utter  knowledge 


4  The  spirit  of  God  hath  made 
me,  and  the  breath  of  the  Al- 
mighty hath  given  me  life. 

5  If  thou  canst  answer  me, 
set  thy  words  in  order  before 
me,  stand  up, 

6  Behold,  I  am  according  to 
thy  wish  in  God's  stead :  I  also 
am  formed  out  of  the  clay. 

7  Behold,  my  terror  shall  not 
make  thee  afraid,  neither  shall 
my  hand  be  heavy  upon  thee. 

8  Surely  thou  hast  spoken  in 
mine  hearing,  and  I  have  heard 
the  voice  of  thy  words,  saying, 

9. 1  am  clean  without  trans- 
gression, I  am  innocent;  nei- 
ther is  there  iniquity  in  me. 

10  Behold,  he  findeth  occa- 
sions against  me,  he  counteth 
me  for  his  enemy, 

11  He  putteth  my  feet  in  the 
stocks,  he  marketh  all  my  paths. 

12  Behold,  in  this  thou  art 
not  just:  I  will  answer  thee, 
that  God  is  greater  than  man. 

13  Why  dost  thou  strive 
against  him  ?  for  he  giveth  not 
account  of  any  of  his  matters. 

14  For  God  speaketh  once, 
yea  twice,  yet  man  perceiveth 
it  not 

15  In  a  dream,  in  a  vision  of 
the  night,  when  deep  sleep  fall- 
eth  upon  men,  in  slumberings 
upon  the  bed; 

16  Then  he  openeth  the  ears 
of  men,  and  sealeth  their  in- 
struction, 

17  That  he  may  withdraw 
man  from  his  purpose,  and 
hide  pride  from  man. 

18  He  keepeth  back  his  soul 
from  the  pit,  and  his  life  from 
perishing  by  the  sword. 

19  He  is  chastened  also  with 
pain  upon  his  bed,  and  the  mul- 
titude of  his  bones  with  strong 
pain: 

20  So  that  his  life  abhorreth 
bread,  and  his  soul  dainty  meat 


21  His  flesh  is  consumed 
away,  that  it  cannot  be  seen ; 
and  his  bones  that  were  not 
seen  stick  out 

22  Yea,  his  soul  draweth  near 
unto  the  grave,  and  his  life  to 
the  destroyers. 

23  If  there  be  a  messenger 
with  him,  an  interpreter,  one 
among  a  thousand,  to  shew  un- 
to man  his  uprightness: 

24  Then  he  is  gracious  unto 
him,  and  saith,  Deliver  him 
from  going  down  to  the  pit:  I 
have  found  a  ransom. 

25  His  flesh  shall  be  fresher 
than  a  child's :  he  shall  return 
to  the  days  of  his  youth : 

26  He  shall  pray  unto  God, 
and  he  will  be  favourable  unto 
him :  and  he  shall  see  his  face 
with  joy :  for  he  will  render  un- 
to man  his  righteousness. 

27  He  looketh  upon  men,  and 
if  any  say,  I  have  sinned,  and 
perverted  that  which  was  right 
and  it  profited  me  not; 

28  He  will  deliver  his  soul 
from  going  into  the  pit  and  his 
life  shall  see  the  light 

29  Lo,  all  these  things  work- 
eth  God  oftentimes  with  man, 

30  To  bring  back  his  soul 
from  the  pit  to  be  enlightened 
with  the  light  of  the  living. 

31  Mark  well,  0  Jdb,  hearken 
unto  me :  hold  thy  peace,  and  I 
will  speak. 

32  If  thou  hast  any  thins  to 
say,  answer  me:  speak,  for  I  de- 
sire to  justify  thee. 

33  If  not  hearken  unto  me: 
hold  thy  peace,  and  I  shall 
teach  thee  wisdom. .

a  man  nothing  that  he  should 
delight  himself  with  God. 

10  Therefore  hearken  unto 
me,  ye  men  of  understanding: 
far  be  it  from  God,  that  ne 
should  do  wickedness;  and 
from  the  Almighty,  that  he 
should  commit  iniquity. 

11  For  the  work  of  a  man 
shall  he  render  unto  him,  and 
cause  every  man  to  find  accord- 
ing to  his  ways. 

12  Yea,  surely  God  will  not  do 
wickedly,  neither  will  the  Al- 
mighty pervert  judgment 

13  Who  hath  given  him  a 
charge  over  the  earth  ?  or  who 
hath  disposed  the  whole  world  ? 

14  If  he  set  his  heart  upon 
man,  if  he  gather  unto  himself 
his  spirit  and  his  breath ; 

15  All  flesh  shall  perish  to- 
gether, and  man  shall  turn 
again  unto  dust. 

16  If  now  thou  hast  under- 
standing, hear  this :  hearken  to 
the  voice  of  my  words. 

17  Shall  even  he  that  hat- 
eth  right  govern?  and  wilt 
thou  condemn  him  that  is 
most  just? 

18  Is  it  fit  to  say  to  a  king, 
Thou  art  wicked  ?  and  to  prin- 
ces, Ye  are  ungodly  ? 

19  How  much  less  to  him  that 
accepteth  not  the  persons  of 
princes,  nor  regardetn  the  rich 
more  than  the  poor?  for  they 
all  are  the  work  of  his  hands. 

20  In  a  moment  shall  they  die, 
and  the  people  shall  be  trou- 
bled at  midnight,  and  pass 
away ;  and  the  mighty  shaft  be 
taken  away  without  hand. 

21  For  his  eyes  cure  upon  the 
ways  of  man,  and  he  seeth  all 
his  goings. 

22  There  is  no  darkness,  nor 
shadow  of  death,  where  the 
workers  of  iniquity  may  hide 
themselves. 

23  For  he  will  not  lay  up- 
on man  more  than  right ;  that 
he  should  enter  into  judgment 
with  God. 

24  He  shall  break  .in  pieces 
mighty  men  without  number, 
and  set  others  in  their  stead. 

25  Therefore  he  .  knoweth 
their  works,  and  he  overturn- 
eth  them  in  the  night,  so  that 
they  are  destroyed.        .  , 

26  He  striketh  them  as  wicked 
men  in  the  open  sight  of  others ; 

27  Because  they  turned  back 
from  him,  and  would  not  con- 
sider any  of  his  ways : 

28  So  that  they  cause  the  cry 
of  the  poor  to  come  unto  him, 
and  he  heareth  the  cry  of  the 
afflicted. 


29  When  he  giveth  quietness, 
who  then  can  make  trouble? 
and  when  he  hideth  his  face, 
who  then  can  behold  him? 
whether  it  be  done  against  a 
nation,  or  against  a  man  only: 

30  That  the  hypocrite  reign 
not,  lest  the  people  be  ensnared. 

31  Surely  it  m  meet  to  be  said 
unto  God,  I  have  borne  chas- 
tisement, I  will  not  offend  any 
more: , 

32  That  whichl  see  not  teach 
thou  me:  if  I  have  done  iniquity, 
I  will  do  no  more. 

33  Should  it  be  according  to 
thy  mind?  he  will  recompense 
it,  whether  thou  refuse,  or 
whether  thou  choose ;  and  not 

therefore  speak  what  thou 
know  est 

34  Let  men  of  understand- 
ing tell  me,  and  let  a  wise  man 
hearken  unto  me. 

35  J6b  hath  spoken  without 
knowledge,  and  his  words  were 
without  wisdom. 

36  My  desire  is  that  J5b  may 
be  tried  unto  the  end  because  of 
his  answers  for  wicked  men. 

37  For  he  addeth  rebellion 
unto  his  sin,  he  clappeth  hie 
hands  among  us,  and  multipli- 
eth  his  words  against  God.

CHAPTER  35 

No  comparison  to  be  made  with  God, 
because  our  good  or  eiril  cannot  ex- 
tend to  him.  9  Many  cry  in  their 
afflictions,  but  are  not  heard  for 
want  of  faith. 

ELIHO  spake  moreover,  and 
said, 

2  Thinkest  thou  this  to  be 
right,  that  thou  amidst,  My 
righteousness  is  more  than 
God's? 

3  For  thou  saidst,  What  ad- 
vantage will  it  be  unto  thee? 
and\  what  profit  shall  I  have, 
if  I  be  cleansed  from  my  sin  ? 

4  1  will  answer  thee,  and  thy 
companions  with  thee. 

5  Look  unto  the  heavens, 
and  see;  and  behold  the  clouds 
which  are  higher  than  thou. 

6  If  thou  sinnest,  what  doest 
thou  against  him?  or  if  thy 
transgressions  be  multiplied, 
what  doest.  thou  unto  him  ? 

7  If  thou  be  righteous,  what 
givest  thou  him?  or  what  re- 
ceiveth  he  of  thine,  hand? 

8  Thy  wickedness  may  hurt 
a  man  as  thou  art;  and  thy 
righteousness  may  profit  the 
son  of  man. 

9  By  reason  of  the  multitude 
of  oppressions  they  make  the 
oppressed  to  cry :  they  cry  out 
by  reason  of  the  arm  of  the 
mighty.

11  Who  teacheth  us  more 
than  the  beasts  of  the  earth, 
and  maketh  us  wiser  than  the

12  There  they  cry,  but  none 
giveth  answer,  because  of  the 
pride  of  evil  men. 

13  Surely  God  will  not  hear 
vanity,  neither  will  the  Al- 
mighty regard  it 

14  Although  thou  sayest  thou 
shalt  not  see  him,  yet  judgment 
is  before  him;  therefore  trust 
thou  in  him. 

15  But  now,  because  it  is  not 
so,  he  hath  visited  in  his  anger ; 
yet  he  knoweth  it  not  in  great 
extremity : 

16  Therefore  doth  Jab  open 
his  mouth  in  vain ;  he  multipli- 
eth  words  without  knowledge. 

CHAPTER  36 

Elihu  shews  how  God  is  just  in  all 
his  ways:  8  the  end  of  God' 9  chas- 
tisement*; 16  how  Job's  sins  hin- 
der God's  blessings.  22  GoeVs 
works  to  be  magnified, 

ELIHO  also  proceeded,  and 
said, 

2  Suffer  me  a  little,  and  I  will 
shew  thee  that  /  have  yet  to 
speak  on  God's  behalf. 

3  I  will  fetch  my  knowledge 
from  afar,  and  will  ascribe 
righteousness  to  my  Maker. 

4  For  truly  my  words  shall 
not  be  false :  he  that  is  perfect 
in  knowledge  is  with  thee. 

5  Behold,  God  is  mighty,  and 
despiseth  not  any :  he  %s  mighty 
in  strength  and  wisdom. 

6  He  preserveth  not  the  life 
of  the  wicked:  but  giveth  right 
to  the  poor. 

7  He  withdraweth  not  his 
eyes  from  the  righteous:  but 
with  kings  are  they  on  the 
throne;  yea,  he  doth  establish 
them  for  ever,  and  they  are  ex- 
alted. 

8  And  if  they  be  bound  in 
fetters,  and  be  holden  in  cords 
of  affliction ; 

9  Then  he  sheweth  them  then- 
work,  and  their  transgressions 
that  they  have  exceeded. 

10  He  openeth  also  their  ear 
to  discipline,  and  commandeth 
that  they  return  from  iniquity. 

11  If  they  obey  and  serve  him, 
they  shall  spend  their  days  in 
prosperity,  and  their  years  in 
pleasures. 

12  But  if  they  obey  not,  they 
shall  perish  by  the  sword,  and 
they  shall  die  without  knowl- 


* 


But  the  hypocrites  in  heart 


heap  up  wrath:  they  cry  not 
when  he  bindeth  them. 

14  They  die  in  youth,  and  their 
life  is  among  the  unclean. 

15  He  delivereth  the  poor  in 
his  affliction,  and  openeth  their 
ears  in  oppression. 

16  Even  so  would  he  have  re- 
moved thee  out  of  the  strait  in- 
to a  broad  place,  where  there  is 
no  straitness;  and  that  which 
should  be  set  on  thy  table  should 
be  full  of  fatness. 

17  But  thou  hast  fulfilled  the 
judgment  of  the  wicked :  judg- 
ment and  justice  take  hold  on 
thee. 

18  Because  there  is  wrath,  be- 
ware lest  he  take  thee  away 
with  his  stroke:  then  a  great 
ransom  cannot  deliver  thee. 

19  Will  he  esteem  thy  riches  ? 
no,  not  gold,  nor  all  the  forces 
of  strength. 

20  Desire  not  the  night,  when 
people  are  cut  off  in  their  place. 

21  Take  heed,  regard  not  iniq- 
uity :  for  this  hast  thou  chosen 
rather  than  affliction. 

22  Behold,  God  exalteth  by  his 
power :  who  teacheth  like  him  ? 

23  Who  hath  enjoined  him  his 
way?  or  who  can  say,  Thou  hast 
wrought  iniquity  ? 

24  Remember  that  thou  mag- 
nify his  work,  which  men  behold. 

25  Every  man  may  see  it ;  man 
may  behold  it  afar  off. 

26  Behold,  God  is  great,  and 
we  know  him  not,  neither  can 
the  number  of  his  years  be 
searched  out. 

27  For  he  maketh  small  the 
drops  of  water:  they  pour  down 
rain  according  to  the  vapour 
thereof: 

28  Which  the  clouds  do  drop 
anddistil  upon  man  abundantly. 

29  Also  can  any  understand 
the  spreadings  of  the  clouds,  or 
the  noise  of  his  tabernacle? 

30  Behold,  he  spreadeth  his 
light  upon  it,  and  covereth  the 
bottom  of  the  sea. 

31  For  by  them  judgeth  he  the 
people ;  he  giveth  meat  in  abun- 
dance. 

32  With  clouds  he  covereth  the 
light;  and  commandeth  it  not 
to  shine  by  the  cloud  that  com- 
eth  betwixt 

33  The  noise  thereof  sheweth 
concerning  it,  the  cattle  also 
concerning  the  vapour.

2  Hear  attentively  the  noise 
of  hi9  voice,  and  the  sound  that 
goeth  out  of  his  mouth. 

3  He  directeth  it  under  the 
whole  heaven,  and  his  lightning 
unto  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

4  After  it  a  voice  roareth :  he 
thundereth  with  the  voice  of 
his  excellency;  and  he  will  not 
stay  them  when  his  voice  is 
heard. 

5  God  thundereth  marvellous- 
ly with  his  voice ;  great  things 
doeth  he,  which  we  cannot  com- 
prehend. 

6  For  he  saith  to  the  snow,  Be 
thou  on  the  earth ;  likewise  to 
the  small  rain,  and  to  the  great 
rain  of  his  strength. 

7  He  sealeth  up  the  hand  of 
every  man ;  that  all  men  may 
know  his  work. 

8  Then  the  beasts  go  into  dens, 
and  remain  in  their  places. 

9  Out  of  the  south  cometh  the 
whirlwind :  and  cold  out  of  the 
north. 

10  By  the  breath  of  God  frost 
is  given :  and  the  breadth  of  the 
waters  is  straitened. 

11  Also  by  watering  he  weari- 
eth  the  thick  cloud :  he  scatter* 
eth  his  bright  cloud : 

12  And  it  is  turned  round 
about  by  his  counsels:  that 
they  may  do  whatsoever  he 
commandeth  them  upon  the 
face  of  the  world  in  the  earth. 

13  He  causeth  it  to  come, 
whether  for  correction,  or  for 
his  land,  or  for  mercy. 

14  Hearken  unto  this,  0  J5b: 
stand  still,  and  consider  the 
wondrous  works  of  God. 

15  Dost  thou  know  when  God 
disposed  them,  and  caused  the 
light  of  his  cloud  to  shine  ? 

16  Dost  thou  know  the  balanc- 
ings of  the  clouds,  the  wondrous 
works  of  him  which  is  perfect 
in  knowledge  ? 

17  How  thy  garments  are 
warm,  when  he  quieteth  the 
earth  by  the  south  wind? 

18  Hast  thou  with  him  spread 
out  the  sky,  which  is  strong, 
and  as  a  molten  looking  glass? 

19  Teach  us  what  we  shall  say 
unto  him ;  for  we  cannot  order 
our  speech  by  reason  of  dark- 
ness. 

20  Shall  it  be  told  him  that  I 
speak?  if  a  man  speak,  surely 
he  shall  be  swallowed  up. 

21  And  now  men  see  not  the 
bright  light  which  is  in  the 
clouds:  but  the  wind  passeth, 
and  cleanseth  them. 

22  Fair  weather  cometh  out  of 
the  north:  with  God  is  terrible 
majesty. 


23  Touching  the  Almighty , 
we  cannot  find  him  out:  he  is 
excellent  in  power,  and  in  judg- 
ment, and  in  plenty  of  justice : 
he  will  not  afflict 

24  Men  do  therefore  fear  him : 
he  respecteth  not  any  that  are 
wise  of  heart 

CHAPTER  38 

God  challenges  Job  to  answer.  4  God, 
by  enumerating  hie  mighty  works, 
convinces  Job  of  ignorance,  31  amd 
of  imbecility, 

rpHEN  the  Lord  answered  Jfib 
X  out  of  the  whirlwind,  and 
said, 

2  Who  is  this  that  darkeneth 
counsel  by  words  without  knowl- 
edge? 

3  Gird  up  now  thy  loins  like 
a  man;  for  I  will  demand  of 
thee,  and  answer  thou  me. 

4  Where  wast  thou  when  I 
laid  the  foundations  of  the 
earth?  declare,  if  thou  hast 
understanding. 

5  Who  hath  laid  the  measures 
thereof,  if  thou  knowest?  or 
who  hath  stretched  the  line 
upon  it? 

6  Whereupon  are  the  founda- 
tions thereof  fastened?  or  who 
laid  the  corner  stone  thereof; 

7  When  the  morning  stars 
sang  together,  and  all  the  sons 
of  God  shouted  for  joy? 

8  Or  who  shut  up  the  sea  with 
doors,  when  it  brake  forth,  as 
if  it  had  issued  out  of  the 
womb? 

9  When  I  made  the  cloud  the 
garment  thereof,  and  thick 
darkness  a  swaddlingband  for 
it 

10  And  brake  up  for  it  my 
decreed  place,  and  set  bars  and 
doors, 

11  And  said,  Hitherto  shalt 
thou  come,  but  no  further :  and 
here  shall  thy  proud  waves  be 
stayed? 

12  Hast  thou  commanded  the 
morning  since  thy  days;  and 
caused  the  dayspnng  to  know 
his  place; 

13  That  it  might  take  hold  of 
the  ends  of  the  earth,  that  the 
wicked  might  be  shaken  out 
of  it? 

14  It  is  turned  as  clay  to  the 
seal ;  and  they  stand  as  a  gar- 
ment 

15  And  from  the  wicked  their 
light  is  withholden,  and  the 
high  arm  shall  be  broken.. 

16  Hast  thou  entered  into  the 
springs  of  the  sea?  or  hast  thou 
walked  in  the  search  of  the 
depth?

16  She  is  hardened  against

in  vain  without  fear ; 

17  Because  God  hath  deprived 
her  of  wisdom,  neither  hath  he 
imparted  to  her  understanding. 

18  What  time  she  lifteth  up 
herself  on  high,  she  scorneth

19  Hast  thou  given  the  horse

men.

not  affrighted ;  neither  turneth 
he  back  from  the  sword. 

23  The  quiver  rattleth  against 
him,  the  glittering  spear  and 
the  shield.

with  fierceness  and  rage:  nei- 
ther believeth  he  that'll  is  the 
sound  of  the  trumpet 

25  He  saith  among  the  trump- 
ets, Ha,  ha;  and  he  smelleth 
the  battle  afar  off,  the  thunder 
of  the  captains,  and  the  shout- 
ing.

wisdom,  and  stretch  her  wings 
toward  the  south  ? 

27  Doth  the  eagle'  mount  up 
at  thy  command,  and  make  her 
nest  on  high  ? 

28  She  dwelleth  and  abideth 
on  the  rock,  upon  the  crag  of 
the  rock,  and  tne  strong  place. 

29  From  thence  she  seeketh 
the  prey,  and  her  eyes  behold 
afar  off. 

30  Her  young  ones  also  suck 
up  blood :  and  where  the  slam 
are,  there  is  she. 

CHAPTER  40 
Job  humbles  himself  to  God. 

MOREOVER  the  Lord  an- 
swered Job,  and  said, 

2  Shall  he  that  contendeth 
with  the  Almighty  instruct 
him?  he  that  reproveth  God, 
let  him  answer  it 

3  IT  Then  J5b  answered  the 
Lord,  and  said, 

4  Behold,  I  am  vile;  what 
shall  I  answer  thee?  I  will  lay 
mine  hand  upon  my  mouth. 

5  Once  have  I  spoken;  but  I 
will  not  answer:   yea,  twice; 


not  answer: 
but  I  will  proceed  no  further. 
6  IT  Then  answered  the  Lord  [through  with  a  thorn? 

539 


unto  Job  out  of  the  whirlwind, 
and  said, 

7  Gird  up  thy  loins  now  like 
a  man :  I  will  demand  of  thee, 
and  declare  thou  unto  me. 

8  Wilt  thou  also  disannul  my 
judgment?  wilt  thou  condemn 
me,  that  thou  mayest  be  right- 
eous? 

9  Hast  thou  an  arm  like  God? 
or  canst  thou  thunder  with  a 
voice  like  him  ? 

10  Deck  thyself  now  with  maj- 
esty and  excellency;  and  array 
thyself  with  glory  and  beauty. 

11  Cast  abroad  the  rage  of 
thy  wrath:  and  behold  every 
one  that  is  proud,  and  abase 
him. 

12  Look  on  every  one  that  is 
proud,  and  bring  him  low;  and 
tread  down  the  wicked  in  their 
place. 

13  Hide  them  in  the  dust  to- 
gether ;  and  bind  their  faces  in 
secret. 

14  Then  will  I  also  confess 
unto  thee  that  thine  own  right 
hand  can  save  thee. 

15  IT  Behold  now  behemoth, 
which  I  made  with  thee;  he 
eateth  grass  as  an  ox. 

16  Lo  now,  his  strength  is  in 
his  loins,  and  his  force  is  in  the 
navel  of  his  belly. 

17  He  moveth  his  tail  like  a 
cedar :  the  sinews  of  his  stones 
are  wrapped  together. 

18  His  oones  are  as  strong 
pieces  of  brass;  his  bones  are 
tike  bars  of  iron. 

19  He  is  the  chief  of  the 
ways  of  God :  he  that  made  him 
can  make  his  sword  to  approach 
unto  him. 

20  Surely  the  mountains  bring 
him  forth  food,  where  all  the 
beasts  of  the  field  play. 

21  He  lieth  under  the  shady 
trees,  in  the  covert  of  the  reed, 
and  fens. 

22  The  shady  trees  cover  him 
with  their  shadow ;  the  willows 
of  the  brook  compass  him  about 

23  Behold,  he  drinketh  up 
a  river,  and  hasteth  not:  he 
trusteth  that  he  can  draw  up 
JorMan  into  his  mouth. 

24  He  taketh  it  with  his 
eyes :  his  nose  pierceth  through 
snares.

5  Wilt  thou  play  with  him  as

7  Canst  thou  fill  his  skin  with

8  Lay  thine  hand  upon  him,  re-

9  Behold,  the  hope  of  him  is 
in  vain:  shall  not  one  be  cast 
down  even  at  the  sight  of  him  ? 

10  None  is  eo  fierce  that  dare 
stir  him  up:  who  then  is  able 
to  stand  before  me? 

11  Who  hath  prevented  me, 
that  I  should  repay  him  ?  what- 
soever is  under  the  whole  heav- 
en is  mine. 

12  I  will  not  conceal  his  parts, 
nor  his  power,  nor  his  comely 
proportion. 

13  Who  can  discover  the  face 
of  his  garment?  or  who  can 
come  to  him  with  his  double 
bridle? 

14  Who  can  open  the  doors  of 
his  face?  his  teeth  are  terrible 
round  about 

15  His  scales  are  hie  pride, 
shut  up  together  as  with  a  close 
seal. 

16  One  is  so  near  to  another, 
that  no  air  can  come  between 
them. 

17  They  are  joined  one  to  an- 
other, they  stick  together,  that 
they  cannot  be  sundered. 

18  By  his  neesings  a  light 
doth  shine,  and  his  eyes  [are 
like  the  eyelids  of  the  morn- 
ing. 

19  Out  of  his  mouth  go  burn- 
ing lamps,  and  sparks  of  fire 
leap  out. 

20  Out  of  his  nostrils  goeth 
smoke,  as  out  of  a  seething  pot 
or  caldron. 

21  His  breath  kindleth  coals, 
and  a  flame  goeth  out  of  his 
mouth. 

22  In  his  neck  remaineth 
strength,  and  sorrow  is  turned 
into  joy  before  him. 

23  The  flakes  of  his  flesh  are 
joined  together:  they  are  firm 
in  themselves;  they  cannot  be 
moved. 

24  His  heart  is  as  firm  as  a 
stone;  yea,  as  hard  as  a  piece 
of  the  nether  millstone. 

25  When  he  raiseth  up  him- 
self, the  mighty  are  afraid :  by 


reason  of  breakings  they  purify 
themselves. 

26  The  sword  of  him  that 
layeth  at  him  cannot  hold :  the 
spear,  the  dart,  nor  the  haber- 
geon. 

27  He  esteemeth  iron  as  straw, 
and  brass  as  rotten  wood. 

28  The  arrow  cannot  make 
him  flee :  slingstones  are  turned 
with  him  into  stubble. 

29  Darts  are  counted  as  stub- 
ble: he  laugheth  at  the  shaking 
of  a  spear. 

30  Sharp  stones  are  under 
him :  hespreadeth  sharp  pointed 
things  upon  the  mire. 

31  He  maketh  the  deep  to  boil 
like  a  pot:  he  maketh  the  sea 
like  a  pot  of  ointment 

32  He  maketh  a  path  to  shine 
after  him ;  one  would  think  the 
deep  to  be  hoary. 

33  Upon  earth  there  is  not  his 
like,  who  is  made  without  fear. 

34  He  beholdeth  all  high 
things:  he  is  a  king  over  all 
the  children  of  pride. 

CHAPTER  42 

God  accepts  Job,  and  double*  hie 

blearing*. 

THEN  J9b  answered  the  Lord, 
and  said, 

2  I  know  that  thou  canst 
do  every  thing,  and  that  no 
thought  can  be  withholden 
from  thee. 

3  Who  is  he  that  hideth 
counsel  without  knowledge? 
therefore  have  I  uttered  that 
I  understood  not;  things  too 
wonderful  for  me,  which  I  knew 
not 

4  Hear,  I  beseech  thee,  and  I 
will  speak:  I  will  demand  of 
thee,  and  declare  thou  unto  me. 

5  I  have  heard  of  thee  by  the 
hearing  of  the  ear:  but  now 
mine  eye  seeth  thee. 

6  Wherefore  I  abhor  myself, 
and  repent  in  dust  and  ashes. 

7  IT  And  it  was  so,  that  after 
the  Lord  had  spoken  these 
words  unto  J5b,  the  Lord  said 
to  EH-phas  the  Te'man-ite,  My 
wrath  is  kindled  against  thee, 
and  against  thy  two  friends: 
for  ye  have  not  spoken  of  me 
the  thing  that  is  right  as  my 
servant  Job  hath. 

8  Therefore  take  unto  you 
now  seven  bullocks  and  seven 
rams,  and  go  to  my  servant  Job, 
and  offer  up  for  yourselves  a 
burnt  offering;  and  my  servant 
J 5b  shall  pray  for  you:  for  him 
will  I  accept:  lest  I  deal  with 
you  after  your  folly,  in  that  ye 
have  not  spoken  of  me  the  thing 
which  is  right  like  my  servant 
J5b.

9  IT  So  £l'i-phaz  the  Te'man- 
ite  and  BQ'dfid  the  Shu/hite  and 
ZS'phar  the  Nfi'a-math-Ite  went, 
and  did  according  as  the  Lord 
commanded  them :  the  Lord  al- 
so accepted  Job. 

10  And  the  Lord  turned  the 
captivity  of  Job,  when  he  prayed 
for  his  friends:  also  the  Lord 

fave  J6b  twice  as  much  as  he 
ad  before. 

11  Then  came  there  unto  him 
all  his  brethren,  and  all  his 
sisters,  and  all  they  that  had 
been  of  his  acquaintance  be- 
fore, and  did  eat  bread  with 
him  in  his  house:  and  they  be- 
moaned him,  and  comforted 
him  over  all  the  evil  that  the 
Lord  had  brought  upon  him: 
every  man  also  gave  him  a  piece 
of  money;  and  every  one  an  ear- 
ring of  gold. 

12  So  the  Lord  blessed  the 


latter  end  of  Job  more  than  his 
beginning :  for  he  had  fourteen 
thousand  sheep,  and  six  thou- 
sand camels,  and  a  thousand 
yoke  of  oxen,  and  a  thousand 
she  asses. 

13  He  had  also  seven  sons  and 
three  daughters. 

14  And  he  called  the  name 
of  the  first,  JS-mi'ma;  and  the 
name  of  the  second,  K£-zi'a; 
and  the  name  of  the  third, 
KeVen-hSp'puch. 

15  And  m  all  the  land  were 
no  women  found  so  fair  as  the 
daughters  of  J6b:  and  their 
father  gave  them  inheritance 
among  their  brethren. 

16  After  this  lived  Job  an 
hundred  and  forty  years,  and 
saw  his  sons,  and  his  sons'  sons, 
even  four  generations. 

17  So  JOb  died,  being  old  and 
full  of  days.

PSALM  1 

Th^riphUous  and  wicked  contrasted. 

BLESSED  is  the  man  that 
walketh  not  in  the  counsel 
of  the  ungodly,  nor  standeth  in 
the  way  of  sinners,  nor  sitteth 
in  the  seat  of  the  scornful. 

2  But  his  delight  is  in  the  law 
of  the  Lord;  and  in  his  law 
doth  he  meditate  day  and  night. 

3  And  he  shall  be  like  a  tree 
planted  by  the  rivers  of  water, 
that  bringeth  forth  his  fruit  in 
his  season;  his  leaf  also  shall 
not  wither;  and  whatsoever  he 
doeth  shall  prosper. 

4  The  ungodly  are  not  so :  but 
are  like  the  chaff  which  the 
wind  driveth  away. 

5  Therefore  the  ungodly  shall 
not  stand  in  the  judgment,  nor 
sinners  in  the  congregation  of 
the  righteous. 

6  For  the  Lord  knoweth  the 
way  of  the  righteous:  but  the 
way  of  the  ungodly  shall  per- 
ish. 

PSALM  2 
The  reign  of  God's  anointed. 

WHY  do  the  heathen  rage, 
and  the  people  imagine  a 
vain  thing? 
2  The  kings  of  the  earth  set 
themselves,  and  the  rulers  take 
counsel  together,  against  the 
LORD,  and  against  his  anointed, 
saying, 
,  3  Let  us  break  their  bands 


asunder,  and  cast  away  their 
cords  from  us. 

4  He  that  sitteth  in  the  heav- 
ens shall  laugh :  the  Lord  shall 
have  them  in  derision. 

5  Then  shall  he  speak  unto 
them  in  his  wrath,  and  vex 
them  in  his  sore  displeasure. 

6  Yet  have  I  set  my  king  upon 
my  holy  hill  of  Z!'5n. 

7  I  will  declare  the  decree: 
the  Lord  hath  said  unto  me, 
Thou  art  my  Son;  this  day 
have  I  begotten  thee. 

8  Ask  of  me,  and  I  shall  give 
thee  the  heathen  for  thine 
inheritance,  and  the  uttermost 
parts  of  the  earth  for  thy  pos- 
session. 

9  Thou  shalt  break  them  with 
a  rod  of  iron ;  thou  shalt  dash 
them  in  pieces  like  a  potter's 
vessel. 

10  Be  wise  now  therefore,  0 
ye  kings:  be  instructed,  ye 
judges  of  the  earth. 

11  Serve  the  Lord  with  fear, 
and  rejoice  with  trembling. 

12  Kiss  the  Son,  lest  he  be 
angry*  »nd  ye  perish  from  the 
way,  when  his  wrath  is  kindled 
but  a  little.  Blessed  are  all 
they  that  put  their  trust  in 
him.

LORD,  how  are  they  in-

many  are  they  that  rise  up 
against  me. 

2  Many  there  be  which  say  of 
my  soul,  There  is  no  help  for 
him  in  God.    STlah. 

3  But  thou,  0  Lord,  art  a 
shield  for  me;  my  glory,  and 
the  lifter  up  of  mine  head. 

4  I  cried  unto  the  Lord  with 
my  voice,  and  he  heard  me  out 
of  his  holy  hilL    S€lah. 

5  I  laid  me  down  and  slept; 
awaked ;  for  the  Lord  sustained 
me. 

6  I  will  not  be  afraid  of  ten 
thousands  of  people,  that  have 
set  themselves  against  me 
round  about 

7  Arise,  0  Lord;  save  me,  p 
my  God :  for  thou  hast  smitten 
all  mine  enemies  upon  the 
cheek  bone;  thou  hast  broken 
the  teeth  of  the  ungodly. 

8  Salvation  belonpeth  unto 
the  Lord  :  thy  blessing  is  upon 
thy  people.    Stfah. 

PSALM  4 

David  prays  far  audience,  6  Man' a 
happiness' in  God's  favour. 

To  the  chief  Musician  on  N£g'- 
i-n5th,  A  Psalm  of  Da'vid. 

HEAR  me  when  I  call,  0  God 
of  my  righteousness:  thou 
hast  enlarged  me  when  I  was. 
in  distress;  have  mercy  upon 
me,  and  hear  my  prayer.  * 

2  0  ye  sons  of  men,  how 
long  will  ye  turn  my  glory 
into  shame  ?  how  long  will  ye 
love  vanity,  and  seek  after  leas- 
ing?   S€lah. 

3  But  know  that  the  Lord 
hath  set  apart  him  that  is  godly 
for  himself:  the  Lord  will  hear 
when  I  call  unto  him. 

4  Stand  in  awe,  and  sin  not: 
commune  with  your  own  heart 
upon  your  bed,  and  be  stilL  S3'- 
lah. 

5  Offer  the  sacrifices  of  right- 
eousness, and  put  your  trust  in 
the  Lord. 

6  There  be  many  that  say, 
Who  will  shew  us  any  good? 
Lord,  lift  thou  up  the  light  of 
thy  countenance  upon  us. 

7  Thou  hast  put  gladness  in 
my  heart,  more  than  in  the  time 
that  their  corn  and  their  wine 
increased. 

8  I  will  both  lay  me  down  in 
peace,  and  sleep :  for  thou,  Lord, 
only  makest  me  dwell  in  safety. 

PSALM  5 

God  favours  not  the  wicked.    7  Da- 
vid prays  unto  God  to  guide  him. 

To  the  chief  Musician  upon  Ne"« 
hl-ldth,  A  Psalm  of  Dfi'vid. 


GIVE  ear  to  my  words,  O 
Lord,  consider  my  medita- 
tion. 

2  Hearken  unto  the  voice  of 
my  cry,  my  King,  and  my  God: 
for  unto  thee  will  I  pray. 

3  My  voice  shalt  thou  hear 
in  the  morning,  0  Lord  ;  in  the 
morning  will  I  direct  my  pray- 
er unto  thee,  and  will  look  up, 

4  For  thou  art  not  a  God  that 
hath  pleasure  in  wickedness 
neither  shall  evil  dwell  with 
thee. 

5  The  foolish  shall  not  stand 
in  thy  sight:  thou  hatest  all 
workers  of  iniquity. 

6  Thou  shalt  destroy  them 
that  speak  leasing:  the  Lord 
will  abhor  the  bloody  and  de- 
ceitful man. 

7  But  as  for  me,  I  will  come 
into  thy  house  in  the  multitude 
of  thy  mercy:  and  in  thy  fear 
will  I  worship  toward  thy  holy 
temple. 

8  Lead  me,  0  Lord,  in  thy 
righteousness  because  of  mine 
enemies ;  make  thy  way  straight 
before  rav  face. 

9  For  there  is  no  faithfulness 
in  their  mouth;  their  inward 
part  is  very  wickedness;  their 
throat  is  an  open  sepulchre; 
they  flatter  witn  their  tongue. 

10  Destroy  thou  them,  0  God ; 
let  them  fall  by  their  own  coun- 
sels; cast  them  out  in  the  mul- 
titude of  their  transgressions; 
for  they  have  rebelled  against 
thee. 

11  But  let  all  those  that  put 
their  trust  in  thee  rejoice:  let 
them  ever  shout  for  joy,  be- 
cause thou  def  endest  them :  let 
them  also  that  love  thy  name  be 
joyful  in  thee. 

12  For  thou.  Lord,  wilt  bless 
the  righteous ;  with  favour  wilt 
thou  compass  him  as  with  a 
shield. 

PSALM  6 
David?*  complaint  in  his  sickness. 
To  the  chief  Musician  on  NSgT- 
nSth   upon    Sheml-nith,    A 
Psalm  of  Da'vid. 

OLORD,  rebuke  me  not  in 
thine  anger,  neither  chas- 
ten me  in  thy  hot  displeasure. 

2  Have  mercy  upon  me,  0 
Lord  ;  for  I  am  weak :  0  Lord, 
heal  me;  for  my  bones  are 
vexed. 

3  My  soul  is  also  sore  vexed: 
but  thou,  O  Lord,  how  long  ? 

4  Return,  0  Lord,  deliver  my 
soul :  oh  save  me  for  thy  mer- 
cies' sake. 

5  For  in  death  there  is  no  re- 
membrance of  thee:  in  the  grave 
who  shall  give  thee  thanks?

8  Depart    from    me,    all

Lord  hath  heard  the  voice  of

9  The  Lord  hath  heard  ray

10  Let  all  mine  enemies  be

them  return'  and  be  ashamed

PSALM  7 

David  pray  a  against  tket  malice  of 
his  enemies,  professing  his  inno- 
cence; 10  by  faith  he  sees  his  de- 
fence, and  derides*  their  vain  en- 
terprises. 
Shig-ga'ion  of  D&'vid,  which  he 
sang  unto  the  Lord,  concern- 
ing the  words  of  Cush  the 
Ben'ja-mite. 

OLORD  my  God,  in  thee  do 
I  put  my  trust ;  save  ,  me 
from  all  them  that  persecute 
me,  and  deliver  me 

2  Lest  he  tear  jny^  soul  like  a 
lion,  rending  it  in  pieces,  while 
there  is  none  to  deliver. 

3  0  Lord  my  God,  if  I  nave 
done  this;  if  there  be  iniquity 
in  my  hands ; 

4  If  I  have  rewarded  evil  unto 
him  that  was  at  peace  with  me ; 
(yea,  I  have  delivered  him  that 
without  cause  is  mine  enemy :) 

5  Let  the  enemy  persecute 
my  soul,  an<J  take  it ;  yea,  let 
him  tread  down  my  life  upon 
the  earth,  and  lay  mine  honour 
in  the  dust    Selah, 

6  Arise,  0  Lord,  in  thine  an- 
ger, lift  up  thyself  because  of 
the  rage  of  mine  enemies :  and 
awake  for  me  to  the  judgment 
that  thou  hast  commanded. 

7  So  shall  the  congregation  of 
the  people  compass  thee  about : 
for  their  sakes  therefore  return 
thou  on  high. 

8  The  Lord  shall  judge  the 
people :  judge  me,  0  Lord,  ac- 
cording to  my  righteousness, 
and  according  to  mine  integrity 
that  is  in  me. 

9  Oh  let  the  wickedness  of 
the  wicked  come .  to  an  end ; 
but  establish  the  just:  for  the 
righteous  God  trieth  the  hearts 
and  reins. 

10  My  defence  is  of  God, 
which  saveth  the  upright  in 
heart 

11  God  judgeth  the  righteous, 
and  God  is  angry  vnth  the 
uricked  every  day. 

543 


12  If  he  turn  not,  he  will  whet 
his  sword;  he  hath  bent  his 
bow,  and  made  it  ready.. 

13  He  hath  also  prepared  for 
him  the  instruments  of  death ; 
heordainetn  his  arrows  against 
the  persecutors. 

14  Behold,  he  travaileth  with 
iniquity,  and  hath  conceived 
mischief,  and  brought  forth 
falsehood. 

15  He  made  a  pit,  and  digged 
it,  and  is  fallen  into  the  ditch 
which  he  made. 

16  His  mischief  shall  return 
upon  his  own  head,  and  his  vio- 
lent dealing  shall  come  down 
upon  his  own  pate.. 

17  I  will  praise  the  LoRn  ac- 
cording to  his  righteousness: 
and  will  sing  praise  to  the 
name  of  the  Lord  most  high. 

PSALM  8 

God's  glory  magnified  by  His  works. 

He  gives  man  dominion. 

To  the   chief  Musician  upon 
GIf  titb,  A  Psalm  of  Da'vid. 


OLORD  our  Lord,  how  ex- 
cellent is  thy  name  in  all 
the  earth!  who  hast  set  thy 
glory  above  the  heavens.     , 

2  Out  of  the  mouth  of  babes 
and  sucklings  hast  thou  or- 
dained strength  because  of 
thine  enemies,  that  thou  slight- 
est still ,  the  enemy  and  the 
avenger. 

3  When  I  consider  thy  heav- 
ens, the  work  of  thy  fingers, 
the  moon  and  the  stars,  which 
thou  hast  ordained ; 

4  What  is  man,  that  thou  art 
mindful  of  him  1  and  the  son  of 
man,  that  thou  visitest  him  ? 

5  For  thou  hast  made  him  a 
little  lower  than  the  angels, 
and  hast  crowned  him  with 
glory, and  honour.    , 

6  Thou  madest  him  to  have 
dominion  over  the  works  of  thy 
hands ;  thou  hast  put  all  things 
under  his  feet: 

7  .All  sheep  and  oxen,  yea,  and 
the  beasts  of  the  field ; 

8  The  fowl  of  the  air,  and  the 
fish  of  the  sea;  and  whatsoever 
passeth  through  the  paths  of 
the  seas. 

9  0  Lord  our  Lord,  how  ex- 
cellent is  thy  name  in  all  the 
earth!

David  praises  God  for  executing

shew  forth  all  thy  marvellous 
works. 

2  I  will  be  glad  and  rejoice  in 
thee :  I  will  sing  praise  to  thy 
name,  O  thou  most  High. 

3  When  mine  enemies  are 
turned  back,  they  shall  fall  and 
perish  at  thy  presence.  • 

4  For  thou  hast  maintained 
my  right  and  my  cause;  thou 
satest  in  the  throne  judging 
right 

5  Thou  hast  rebuked  the  hea- 
then, thou  hast  destroyed  the 
wicked,  thou  hast  put  out  their 
name  for  ever  and  ever. 

6  O  thou  enemy,  destructions 
are  come  to  a  perpetual  end: 
and  thou  hast  destroyed  cities ; 
their  memorial  is  perished  with 
them. 

7  But  the  Lord  shall  endure 
for  ever:  he  hath  prepared  his 
throne  for  judgment 

8  And  he  shall  judge  the  world 
in  righteousness,  he  shall  min- 
ister judgment  to  the  people  in 
uprightness. 

9  The  Lord  also  will  be  a  ref- 
uge for  the  oppressed,  a  refuge 
in  times  of  trouble. 

10  And  they  that  know  thy 
name  will  put  their  trust  in 
thee :  for  thou,  Lord,  hast  not 
forsaken  them  that  seek  thee. 

11  Sing  praises  tto  the  Lord, 
which  dwelleth  in  Zi'5n:  de- 
clare among  the  people  his  do- 
ings. 

12  When  he  maketh  inquisi- 
tion for  blood,  he  remembereth 
them:  he  forgetteth  not  the 
cry  of  the  humble. 

13  Have  mercy  upon  me, 
O  Lord;  consider  my  trouble 
which  I  suffer  of  them  that 
hate  me,  thou  that  liftest  me 
up  from  the  gates  of  death : 

14  That  I  may  shew  forth  all 
thy  praise  in  the  gates  of  the 
daughter  of  ZT5n:  I  will  re- 
joice in  thv  salvation. 

15  The  heathen  are  sunk 
down  in  the  pit  that  they 
made:  in  the  net  which  they 
hid  is  their  own  foot  taken. 

16  The  Lord  is  known  by  the 
judgment  which  he  executeth : 
the  wicked  is  snared  in  the  work 
of  his  own  hands.  Hlg-gfi'ion. 
SSlah. 

17  The  wicked  shall  be  turned 
into  hell,  and  all  the  nations 
that  forget  God. 

18  For  the  needy  shall  not 
alway  be  forgotten :  the  expec- 
tation of  the  poor  shall  not 
perish  for  ever. 

19  Arise,  0  Lord;  let  not 
man  prevail:  let  the  heathen 
be  judged  in  thy  sight 


20  Put  them  in  fear,  0  Lord  : 
that  the  nations  may  know 
themselves  to  be  but  men. 
Selah. 

PSALM  10 

David  complains  to  God  of  the  pride 
ofthewicked, 

WHY  standest  thou  afar 
off,  0  Lord?  why  hidest 
thou  thyself  in  times  of  trou- 
ble? 

2  The  wicked  in  his  pride 
doth  persecute  the  poor:  let 
them  be  taken  in  the  devices 
that  they  have  imagined. 

3  For  the  wicked  boasteth  of 
his  heart's  desire,  and  blesseth 
the  covetous,  whom  the  Lord 
abhorreth. 

4  The  wicked,  through  the 
pride  of  his  countenance,  will 
not  seek  after  God:  God  is 
not  in  all  his  thoughts. 

5  His  ways  are  always  griev- 
ous; thy  judgments  are  far 
above  out  of  his  sight:  as  for 
all  his  enemies,  he  puffeth  at 
them. 

6  He  hath  said  in  his  heart,  I 
shall  not  be  moved :  for  /  shall 
never  be  in  adversity. 

7  His  mouth  is  full  of  cursing 
and  deceit  and  fraud :  under  his 
tongue  is  mischief  and  vanity. 

8  He  sitteth  in  the  lurking 
places  of  the  villages:  in  the 
secret  places  doth  he  murder 
the  innocent :  his  eyes  are  priv- 
ily set  against  the  poor. 

9  He  lieth  in  wait  secretly  as 
a  lion  in  his  den:  he  lieth  in 
wait  to  catch  the  poor :  he  doth 
catch  the  poor,  when  he  draw- 
eth  him  into  his  net 

10  He  croucheth,  and  hum- 
bleth  himself,  that  the  poor 
may  fall  by  his  strong  ones. 

11  He  hath  said  in  his  heart, 
God  hath  forgotten :  he  hideth 
his  face ;  he  will  never  see  it. 

12  Arise,  0  Lord;  O  God,  lift 
up  thine  hand:  forget  not  the 
humble. 

13  Wherefore  doth  the  wicked 
contemn  God?  he  hath  said  in 
his  heart,  Thou  wilt  not  require 
it 

14  Thou  hast  seen  it ;  for  thou 
beholdest  mischief  and  spite,  to 
requite  it  with  thy  hand:  the 
poor  committeth  himself  unto 
thee;  thou  art  the  helper  of  the 
fatherless. 

15  Break  thou  the  arm  of  the 
wicked  and  the  evil  man ;  seek 
out  his  wickedness  till  thou  find 
none. 

16  The  Lord  is  King  for  ever 
and  ever:  the  heathen  are  per- 
ished out  of  his  land.

PSALM  11  . 

David  rejoices  in  the  providence  and 
justice  of  God, 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 
of  Da'vid. 

IN  the  Lord  put  I  my  trust: 
how  say  ye  to  my  soul,  Flee 
as  a  bird  to  your  mountain  ? 

2  For,  Jo,  the  wicked  bend 
their  bow,  they  make  ready 
their  arrow  upon  the  string, 
that  they  may  privily  shoot  at 
the  upright  in  heart 

3  If  the  foundations  be  de- 
stroyed, what  can  the  right- 
eous do? 

4  The  Lord  is  in  his  holy 
temple,  the  Lord's  throne  i* 
in  heaven :  his  eyes  behold,  his 
eyelids  try,  the  children  of  men. 

5  The  Lord  trieth  the  right- 
eous: but  the  wicked  and.  him 
that  loveth  violence  his  soul 
hateth. 

6  Upon  the  wicked  he  shall 
rain  snares,  fire  and  brimstone, 
and  an  horrible  tempest:  this 
shaU  be  the  portion  of  their 
cup. 

7  For  the  righteous  LORD  lov- 
eth righteousness;  his  counte- 
nance doth  behold  the  upright 

PSALM  12 

David,  destitute  of  human  comfort, 
enures  help  of  God:  3  God's  judg- 
ments on  the  wicked. 

To  the  chief  Musician  upon 
Sheml-mth,  A  Psalm  of 
Da'vid. 

HELP,  Lord;  for  the  god- 
ly man  ceaseth;  for  the 
faithful  fail  from  among  the 
children  of  men. 

2  They  speak  vanity  every 
one  with  his  neighbour:  with 
nattering  lips  ana  with  a  double 
heart  do  they  speak. 

3  The  Lord  shall  cut  off  all 
flattering  lips,  and  the  tongue 
that  speaketh  proud  things : 

4  Who  have  said,  With  our 
tongue  will  we  prevail ;  our  lips 
are  our  own :  who  is  lord  over 
us? 

5  For  the  oppression  of  the 
poor,  for  the  sighing  of  the 
needy,  now  will  I  arise,  saith 
the  Lord;  I  will  set  him  in 
safety  from  him  that  puffeth 
at  him. 

6  The  words  of  the  Lord  are 
pure  words :  as  silver  tried  in  a 
furnace  of  earth,  purified  seven 
times. 


7  Thou  shalt  keep  them,  O 
Lord,  thou  shalt  preserve  them 
from  this  generation  for  ever. 

8  The  wicked  walk  on  every 
side,  when  the  vilest  men  are 
exalted. 

PSALM  13 

David  prays  for  help  that  his  ene- 
mies may  not  esiuU  over  him. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 
of  Da'vid. 

HOW  long  wilt  thou  forget 
me,  0  Lord?  for  ever? 
how  long  wilt  thou  hide  thy 
face  from  me? 

2  How  long  shall  I  take  coun 
sel  in  my  soul,  having  sorrow 
in  my  heart  daily?  how  long 
shall  mine  enemy  be  exalted 
over  me? 

3  Consider  and  hear  me,  0 
Lord  my  God:  lighten  mine 
eyes,  lest  I  sleep  the  sleep  of 
death ; 

4  Lest  mine  enemy  say,  I 
have  prevailed  against  him; 
and  those  that  trouble  me  re- 
joice when  I  am  moved. 

5  But  I  have  trusted  in  thy 
mercy;  my  heart  shall  rejoice 
in  thy  salvation. 

6  I  will  sing  unto  the  Lord, 
because  he  hath  dealt  bounti- 
fully with  me. 

PSALM  14 

The  general  corruption  of  mankind. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 
of  Da'vid. 


THE  fool  hath  said  in  his 
heart  There  is  no  God. 
They  are  corrupt  they  have 
done  abominable  works,  there 
is  none  that  doeth  good. 

2  The  LotU)  looked  down 
from  heaven  upon  the  children 
of  men,  to  see  if  there  were  any 
that  did  understand,  and  seek 
God. 

3  They  are  all  gone  aside, 
they  are  all  together  become 
filthy :  there  is  none  that  doeth 
good,  no,  not  one. 

4  Have  all  the  workers  of  in- 
iquity no  knowledge  ?  who  eat 
up  my  people  as  they  eat  bread, 
and  call  not  upon  the  Lord. 

5  There  were  they  in  great 
fear :  for  God  is  in  the  genera- 
tion of  the  righteous. 

6  Ye  have  shamed  the  counsel 
of  the  poor,  because  the  Lord  is 
his  refuge. 

7  Oh  that  the  salvation  of 
Is'ra-el  were  come  out  of  Zi'5n ! 
when  the  Lord  bringeth  back 
the  captivity  of  his  people,  Ja'- 
cob  shall  rejoice,  and  lg'ra-el 
shall  be  glad*

PSALM  15 

David  describes  a  citizen  ofZion. 

A  Psalm  of  Da'vid. 

LORD,  who    shall   abide  in 
thy  tabernacle?  who  shall 
dwell  in  thy  holy  hill  ? 

2  He  that  walketh  uprightly, 
and  worketh  righteousness,  and 
speaketh  the  truth  in  his  heart 

3  He  that  backbiteth  not  with 
his  tongue,  nor  doeth  evil  to  his 
neighbour,  nor  taketh  up  a  re- 
proach against  his  neighbour. 

4  In  whose  eyes  a  vile  person 
is  contemned;  but  he  honour- 
eth  them  that  fear  the  Lord. 
He  that  sweareth  to  his  own 
hurt,  and  changeth  not 

5  He  that  putteth  not  out  his 
money  to  usury,  nor  taketh  re- 
ward against  the  innocent  He 
that  doeth  these  things  shall 
never  be  moved. 

PSALM  16 

David,  in  distrust  of  merit,  /lees  to 

God  for  preservation :  5  he  shews 

the  hope  of  his  calling.  cftheresur- 

rectum,  and  life  everlasting, 

MIch'tam  of  Dfi'vid. 

PRESERVE  me,  O  God:  for 
in  thee  do  I  put  my  trust 

2  O  my  soul,  thou  hast  said 
unto  the  Lord,  Thou  art  my 
Lord:  my  goodness  extendeih 
not  to  thee ; 

3  But  to  the  saints  that  are  in 
the  earth,  and  to  the  excellent, 
in  whom  is  all  my  delight 

4  Their  sorrows  shall  be  mul- 
tiplied that  hasten  after  an- 
other god:  their  drink  offerings 
of  blood  will  I  not  offer,  nor  take 
up  their  names  into  my  lips. 

5  The  Lord  is  the  portion  of 
mine  inheritance  and  of  my 
cup:  thou  maintajnest  my  lot 

6  The  lines  are  fallen  unto 
me  in  pleasant  places ;  yea,  I 
have  a  goodly  heritage. 

7  I  will  bless  the  Lord,  who 
hath  given  me  counsel:  my 
reins  also  instruct  me  in  the 
night  seasons. 

8  I  have  set  the  Lord  always 
before  me :  because  he  is  at  my 
right  hand,  I  shall  not  be  moved. 

9  Therefore  my^  heart  is  glad, 
and  my  glory  rejoiceth :  my  flesh 
also  shall  rest  in  hope. 

10  For  thou  wilt  not  leave  my 
soul  in  hell ;  neither  wilt  thou 
suffer  thine  Holy  One  to  see  cor- 
ruption. 

11  Thou  wilt  shew  me  the 
path  of  life:  in  thy  presence 
is  fulness  of  joy;  at  thy  right 
hand  there  are  pleasures  for 
evermore. 

PSALM  17 

David  prays  to  God  to  be  saved  from 
his  enemies. 


A  Prayer  of  Dfi'vid. 

HEAR  the  right,  O  Lord,  at- 
tend unto  my  cry,  give  ear 
unto  my  prayer,  that  goeth  not 
out  of  feigned  lips. 

2  Let  my  sentence  come  forth 
from  thy  presence;  let  thine 
eyes  behold  the  things  that  are 
equal. 

3  Thou  hast  proved  mine 
heart;  thou  hast  visited  me  in 
the  night;  thou  hast  tried  me, 
and  shalt  find  nothing;  I  am 
purposed  that  my  mouth  shall 
not  transgress. 

4  Concerning  the  works  of 
men,  by  the  word  of  thy  lips  I 
have  kept  me  from  the  paths 
of  the  destroyer. 

5  Hold  up  my  goings  in  thy 
ttths,  that  my  footsteps  slip  not 

6  I  have  called  upon  thee,  for 
thou  wilt  hear  me,  O  God :  in- 
cline thine  ear  unto  me,  and 
hear  my  speech. 

7  Shew  thy  marvellous  loving- 
kindness,  O  thou  that  savest  by 
thy  right  hand  them  which  put 
their  trust  in  thee  from  those 
that  rise  up  against  them. 

8  Keep  me  as  the  apple  of  the 
eye,  hide  me  under  the  shadow 
of  thy  wings, 

9  From  the  wicked  that  op- 
press me,  from  my  deadly  ene- 
mies, who  compass  me  about 

10  They  are  inclosed  in  their 
own  fat :  with  their  mouth  they 
speak  proudly. 

11  Tney  have  now  compassed 
us  in  our  steps:  they  have  set 
their  eyes  bowing  down  to  the 
earth; 

12  Like  as  a  Hon  that  is 
greedy  of  his  prey,  and  as  it 
were  a  young  lion  lurking  in 
secret  places. 

13  Arise,  0  Lord,  disappoint 
him,  cast  him  down :  deliver  my 
soul  from  the  wicked,  which  is 
thy  sword : 

14  From  men  which  are  thy 
hand,  O  Lord,  from  men  of  the 
world,  which  have  their  por- 
tion in  this  life,  and  whose  belly 
thou  fillest  with  thy  hid  treas- 
ure :  they  are  full  of  children, 
and  leave  the  rest  of  their  sub- 
stance to  their  babes. 

15  As  for  me,  I  will  behold  thy 
face  in  righteousness :  I  shall  be 
satisfied,  when  I  awake,  with  thy 
likeness.

'••71.10,  Soul's  ~ 


in  the  day  that  the  LORD  de- 
livered him  from  the  hand  of 
all  his  enemies,  and  from  the 
hand  of  Saul :  And  he  said, 

I  WILL  lore  thee,  0  Lord,  my 
strength. 

2  The  Lord  is  my  rock,  and 
my  fortress,  and  my  deliverer ; 
my  God,  my  strength,  in  whom 
I  will  trust ;  my  buckler,  and  the 
horn  of  my  salvation,  and  my 
high  tower. 

3  I  will  call  upon  the  Lord, 
who  is  worthy  to  be  praised: 
so  shall  I  be  saved  from  mine 
enemies. 

4  The  sorrows  of  death  com- 
passed me,  and  the  floods  of  un- 
godly men  made  me  afraid. 

5  The  sorrows  of  hell  com- 
passed me  about :  the  snares  of 
death  prevented  me. 

6  In  my  distress  I  called  upon 
the  Lord,  and  cried  unto  my 
God :  he  heard  my  voice  out  of 
his  temple,  and  my  cry  came  be- 
fore him,  even  into  his  ears. 

7  Then  the  earth  shook  and 
trembled;  the  foundations  also 
of  the  hills  moved  and  were 
shaken,  because  he  was  wroth. 

8  There  went  up  a  smoke  out 
of  his  nostrils,  and  fire  out  of 
his  mouth  devoured :  coals  were 
kindled  by  it 

9  He  bowed  the  heavens  also, 
and  came  down:  and  darkness 
was  under  his  feet 

10  And  he  rode  upon  a  cherub, 
and  did  fly :  yea,  he  did  fly  up- 
on the  wings  of  the  wind. 

11  He  made  darkness  his  se- 
cret place;  his  pavilion  round 
about  him  were  dark  waters  and 
thick  clouds  of  the  skies. 

12  At  the  brightness  that 
was  before  him  his  thick  clouds 
passed,  hail  stones  and  coals  of 
fire. 

13  The  Lord  also  thundered 
in  the  heavens,  and  the  Highest 
gave  his  voice ;  hail  stones  and 
coals  of  fire, 

14  Yea,  he  sent  out  his  arrows, 
and  scattered  them;  and  he 
shot  out  lightnings,  and  dis- 
comfited them. 

15  Then  the  channels  of  wa- 
ters were  seen,  and  the  founda- 
tions of  the  world  were  discov- 
ered at  thy  rebuke,  O  Lord,  at 
the  blast  of  the  breath  of  thy 
nostrils. 

16  He  sent  from  above,  he 
took  me,  he  drew  me  out  of 
many  waters. 

17  He  delivered  me  from  my 
strong  enemy,  and  from  them 
which  hated  me :  for  they  were 
too  strong  for  me. 

18  They  prevented  me  in  the 


day  of  my  calamity:  but  the 
Lord  was  my  stay. 

19  He  brought  me  forth  also 
into  a  large  mace;  he  delivered 
me,  because  he  delighted  in  me. 

20  The  Lord  rewarded  me  ac- 
cording to  my  righteousness; 
according  to  the  cleanness  of 
my  hands  hath  he  recompensed 
me. 

21  For  I  have  kept  the  ways 
of  the  Lord,  and  have  not 
wickedly  departed  from  my 
God. 

22  For  all  his  judgments  were 
before  me,  and  I  did  not  put 
away  his  statutes  from  me. 

23  I  was  also  upright  before 
him,  and  I  kept  myself  from 
mine  iniquity. 

24  Therefore  hath  the  Lord 
recompensed  me  according  to 
my  righteousness,  according  to 
the  cleanness  of  my  hands  in 
his  eyesight 

25  With  the  merciful  thou  wilt 
shew  thyself  merciful ;  with  an 
upright  man  thou  wilt  shew 
thyself  upright; 

26  With  the  pure  thou  wilt 
shew  thyself  pure;  and  with 
the  froward  thou  wilt  shew  thy- 
self froward. 

27  For  thou  wilt  save  the 
afflicted  people;  but  wilt  bring 
down  high  looks. 

28  For  thou  wilt  light  mv 
candle:  the  Lord  my  God  will 
enlighten  my  darkness. 

29  For  by  thee  I  have  r 
through  a  troop;  and  by  my 
God  have  I  leaped  over  a  wall. 

30  As  for  God,  his  way  is 
perfect :  the  word  of  the  Lord 
is  tried :  he  is  a  buckler  to  all 
those  that  trust  in  him. 

31  For  who  is  God  save  the 
Lord?  or  who  is  a  rock  save 
our  God? 

32  It  is  God  that  girdeth  me 
with  strength,  and  maketh  my 
way  perfect 

33  He  maketh  my  feet  like 
hinds'  feet,  and  setteth  me  up- 
on my  high  places. 

34  He  teaeheth  my  hands  to 
war,  so  that  a  bow  of  steel  is 
broken  by  mine  arms. 

35  Thou  hast  also  given  me 
the  shield  of  thy  salvation :  and 
thy  right  hand  hath  holden  me 
up,  and  thy  gentleness  hath 
made  me  great 

36  Thou  hast  enlarged  my 
steps  under  me,  that  my  feet 
did  not  slip. 

37  I  have  pursued  mine  ene- 
mies, and  overtaken  them:  nei 
ther  did  I  turn  again  till  they 
were  consumed. 

38  I  have  wounded  them  that

39  For  thou  hast  girded  me 
with  strength  unto  the  battle: 
thou  hast  subdued  under  me 
those  that  rose  up  against  me. 

40  Thou  hast  also  given  me

that  I  might  destroy  them  that

41  They  cried,  but  there  wo*

not 

42  Then  did  I  beat  them  small

did  cast  them  out  as  the  dirt  in 
the  streets.

49  Therefore  will  I  give  thanks 
unto  thee,  0  Lord,  among  the 
heathen,  and  sing  praises  unto 
thy  name.

PSALM  19 

The  creatures  shew  God'e  glory.    7 

Excellency  of  God'e  law.    12  David 

pray  a  for  grace. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 

of  Da'vid. 

THE  heavens  declare  the 
glory  of  God;  and  the  fir- 
mament sheweth  his  handy- 
work. 

2  Day  unto  day  uttereth 
speech,  and  night  unto  night 
sheweth  knowledge. 

3  There  is  no  speech  nor  lan- 
guage, where  their  voice  is  not 
Heard 

4  Their  line  is  gone  out 
through  all  the  earth,  and  their 
words  to  the  end  of  the  world. 
In  them  hath  he  set  a  taber- 
nacle for  the  sun, 

5  Which  is  as.  a  bridegroom 


coming  out  of  his  chamber,  and 
rejoiceth  as  a  strong  man  to  ran 
a  race. 

6  His  going  forth  is  from  the 
end  of  the.  heaven,  and  his  cir- 
cuit unto  the  ends  of  it:  and 
there  is  nothing  hid  from  the 
heat  thereof. 

7  The  law  of  the  Lord  is  per- 
fect, converting. the  soul:  the 
testimony  of  the  Lord  is  sure, 
making  wise  the  simple. 

8  The  statutes  of  the  Lord 
are  right, .rejoicing  the  heart: 
the  commandment  of  the  Lord 
is  pure,  enlightening  the  eyes. 

9  The  fear  of  the  Lord  is 
clean,  enduring  for  ever:  the 
judgments  of  the  Lord  are  true 
ana  righteous  altogether. 

10  More  to  be  desired  are  they 
than  gold,  yea,  than  much  fine 
gold;  sweeter  also  than  honey 
and  the  honeycombs. 

11  Moreover  by  them  is  thy 
servant  warned:  and  in  keep- 
ing of  them  there  is  great  re- 
ward. 

12  Who  can  understand  his 
errors?  cleanse  thou  me  from 
secret  faults. 

13  Keep  back  thy  servant  also 
from  presumptuous  sins;  let 
them  not  have  dominion  over 
me:  then  shall  I  be  upright, 
and  I  shall  be  innocent  from 
the  great  transgression. 

14  Let  the  words  of  my  mouth, 
and  the  meditation  of  my  heart 
be  acceptable  in  thy  {sight  0 
Lord,  my  strength,  and  my  re- 
deemer. 

PSALM  20 

The  church  kUeeea  the  kino  in  hie  ex- 
ploits: 6  she  exproeeee  a  confidence 
in  God'e  favour. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 
of  Da'vid, 

THE  Lord  hear  thee  in  the 
day  of  trouble ;  the  name  of 
the  God  of  Ja'cob  defend  thee; 

2  Send  thee  help  from  the 
sanctuary,  and  strengthen  thee 
out  of  Zi'on ; 

3  Remember  all  thy  offerings, 
and  accept  thy  burnt  sacrifice; 
Selah. 

4  Grant  thee  according  to 
thine  own  heart,  and  fulfil  all 
thy  counsel 

5  We  will  rejoice  in  thy  sal- 
vation, and  in  the  name  of  our 
God  we  will  set  up  our  banners : 
the  Lord  fulfil  all  thy  petitions. 

6  Now  know  I  that  the  Lord 
saveth  his  anointed;  he  will 
hear  him  from  his  holy  heaven 
with  the  saving  strength  of  his, 
right  hand.

PSALM  21 

A  thanksgiving  for  victory.  1  Confi- 
dence in  GocL 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 

of  Da'vid. 
mHELldng  shall  joy  in  thy 

JL  strength,  O  Lord;  and  in 
thy  salvation  how  greatly  shall 
he  rejoice! 

2  Thou  hast  given  him  his 
heart's  desire,  and  hast  not 
withholden  the  request  of  his 
lips.    STlah. 

6  For  thou  preventest  hhn 
with  the  blessings  of  goodness : 
thou  settest  a  crown  of  pure 
gold  on  his  head. 

4  He  asked  life  of  thee,  and 
thou  gavest  it  him,  even  length 
of  days  for  ever  and  ever. 

5  His  glory  is  great  in  thy 
salvation :  honour  and  majesty 
hast  thou  laid  upon  him. 

6  For  thou  hast  made  htm 
most  blessed  for  ever:  thou 
hast  made  him  exceeding  glad 
with  thy  countenance. 

7  For  the  king  trusteth  in  the 
Lord,  and  through  the  mercy 
of  the  most  High  he  shall  not 
be  moved. 

8  Thine  hand  shall  find  out 
all  thine  enemies:  thy  right 
hand  shall  find  out  those  that 
hate  thee. 

9  Thou  shalt  make  them  as  a 
fiery  oven  in  the  time  of  thine 
anger:  the  Lord  shall  swallow 
them  up  in  his  wrath,  and  the 
fire  shall  devour  them. 

10  Their  fruit  shalt  thou  de- 
stroy from  the  earth,  and  their 
seed  from  among  the  children 
of  men* 

11  For  they  intended  evil 
against  thee:  they  imagined  a 
mischievous  device,  which  they 
are  not  able  to  perform. 

12  Therefore  shaft  thou  make 
them  turn  their  back,  when  thou 
shalt  make  ready  thine  arrows 
upon  thy  strings  against  the 
face  of  them. 

13  Be  thou  exalted,  Lord,  in 
thine  own  strength :  so  will  we 
sing  and  praise  thy  power. 

PSALM  22 

David  prays  in  great  distress  :  21  he 
promises  public  thanksgiving  and 
praise. 

To  the  chief  Musician  upon 
Aij'e-lSth  Shft'hax,  A  Psalm 
of  Da'vid. 


MY  God,  my  God,  why  hast 
thou  forsaken  me?  why 
art  thou  so  far  from  helping 
me,  and  from  the  words  of  my 
roaring? 

2  O  my  God,  I  cry  in  the  day- 
time, but  thou  nearest  not;  and 
in  the  night  season,  and  am  not 
silent 

3  But  thou  art  holy,  O  thou 
that  inhabitest  the  praises  of 
Is/ra-eL 

4  Our  fathers  trusted  in  thee 
they  trusted,  and  thou  didst  de- 
liver them. . 

5  They  cried  unto  thee,  and 
were  delivered :  they  trusted  in 
thee,  and  were  not  confounded. 

6  But  I  am  a  worm,  and  no 
man;  a  reproach  of  men,  and 
despised  of  the  people. 

7  All  they  that  see  me  laugh 
me  to  scorn:  they  shoot  out  the 
lip,  they  shake  the  head,  say- 
ing, 

8  He  trusted  on  the  Lord  that 
he  would  deliver  him :  let  him 
deliver  him,  seeing  he  delighted 
in  him. 

9  But  thou  art  he  that  took 
me  out  of  the  womb :  thou  didst 
make  me  hope  when  I  was  up- 
on my  mother's  breasts. 

10  I  was  cast  upon  thee  from 
the  womb:  thou  art  my  God 
from  my  mother's  belly. 

11  Be  not  far  from  me;  for 
trouble  is  near;  for  there  is 
none  to  help. 

12  Many  bulls  have  com- 
passed me:  strong  bulls  of  B§'- 
shan  have  beset  me  round. 

13  They  gaped  upon  me  with 
their  mouths,  as  a  ravening 
and  a  roaring  lion. 

14  I  am  poured  out  like  water, 
and  all  my  bones  are  out  of 
joint :  my  heart  is  like  wax ;  it 
is  melted  in  the  midst  of  my 
bowels. 

15  My  strength  is  dried  up 
like  a  potsherd;  and  my  tongue 
cleaveth  to  my  jaws ;  and  thou 
hast  brought  me  into  the  dust 
of  death. 

16  For  dogs  have  compassed 
me:  the  assembly  of  the  wick- 
ed have  inclosed  me:  they 
pierced  my  hands  and  my  feet. 

17  I  may  tell  all  my  bones: 
they  look  and  stare  upon  me. 

18  They  part  my  garments 
among  them,  and  cast  Tots  upon 
my  vesture. 

19  But  be  not  thou  far  from 
me,  0  Lord:  0  my  strength, 
haste  thee  to  help  me. 

20  Deliver  my  soul  from  the 
sword;  my  darling  from  the 
power  of  the  dog. 

21  Save  me  from  the  lion's

month :  for  thou  hast  heard  me 
from  the  horns  of  the  unicorns. 

22  I  will  declare  thy  name  un- 
to my  brethren:  in  the  midst 
of  the  congregation  will  I  praise 
thee. 

23  Ye  that  fear  the  Lord, 
praise  him;  all  ye  the  seed  of 
Ja'cob,  glorify  him;  and  fear 
him,  all  ye  the  seed  of  Is/ra-eL 

24  For  he  hath  not  de- 
spised nor  abhorred  the  afflic- 
tion of  the  afflicted;  neither 
hath  he  hid  his  face  from  him ; 
but  when  he  cried  unto  him,  he 
heard. 

25  My  praise  shall  be  of  thee 
in  the  great  congregation:  I 
will  pay  my  vows  before  them 
that  fear  him. 

26  The  meek  shall  eat  and  be 
satisfied:  they  shall  praise  the 
Lord  that  seek  him :  your  heart 
shall  live  for  ever. 

27  All  the  ends  of  the  world 
shall  remember  and  turn  unto 
the  Lord  :  and  all  the  kindreds 
of  the  nations  shall  worship  be- 
fore thee. 

28  For  the  kingdom  is  the 
Lord's  :  and  he  is  the  governor 
among  the  nations. 

29  All  they  that  be  fat  upon 
earth  shall  eat  and  worship :  all 
they  that  go  down  to  the  dust 
shall  bow  before  him :  and  none 
can  keep  alive  his  own  soul. 

30  A  seed  shall  serve  him;  it 
shall  be  accounted  to  the  Lord 
for  a  generation. 

31  They  shall  come,  and  shall 
declare  his  righteousness  unto 

people  that  shall  be  born, 
that  he  hath  done  this. 

PSALM  23 

David's  confidence  in  God's  grace. 
A  Psalm  of  Dfi'vid. 

THE  Lord  is  my  shepherd ;  I 
shall  not  want. 

2  He  maketh  me  to  lie  down 
in  green  pastures:  he  leadeth 
me  beside  the  still  waters. 

3  He  restoreth  my  soul:  he 
leadeth  me  in  the  paths  of 
righteousness  for  his  name's 
sake. 

4  Yea,  though  I  walk  through 
the  valley  of  the  shadow  of 
death,  I  will  fear  no  evil:  for 
thou  art  with  me;  thy  rod  and 
thy  staff  they  comfort  me. 

5  Thou  preparest  a  table  be- 
fore me  in  the  presence  of  mine 
enemies:  thou  anointest  my 
head  with  oil ;  my  cup  runneth 
over. 

6  Surely  goodness  and  mercy 
shall  follow  me  all  the  days 
of  my  life :  and  I  will  dwell  in 


the  house  of  the  Lord  for  ever. 
PSALM  24 

Divine  ownership:  3  citizens  of  his 
spiritual  kingdom,  7  The  King  of 
otory. 

A  Psalm  of  D&'vid. 

THE  earth  is  the  Lord's, 
I  and  the  fulness  thereof; 
the  world,  and  they  that  dwell 
therein,. 

2  For  he  hath  founded  it  upon 
the  seas,  and  established  it  upon 
the  floods. 

3  Who  shall  ascend  into  the 
hill  of  the  Lord?  or  who  shall 
stand  in  his  holy  place  ? 

4  He  that  hath  clean  hands, 
and  a  pure  heart ;  who  hath  not 
lifted  up  his  soul  unto  vanity, 
nor  sworn  deceitfully. 

5  He  shall  receive  the  ble 
ing  from  the  Lord,  and  right- 
eousness from  the  God  of  his 
salvation. 

6  This  is  the  generation  of 
them  that  seek  him,  that  seek 
thy  face,  O  Jft'cob.    Selah. 

7  Lift  up  your  heads,  0  ye 
gates;  and  be  ye  lift  up,  ye 
everlasting  doors ;  and  the  King 
of  glory  shall  come  in. 

8  Who  is  this  King  of  glory? 
The  Lord  strong  and  mighty, 
the  Lord  mighty  in  battle. 

9  Lift  up  your  heads,  O  ye 
gates;  even  lift  them  up,  ye 
everlasting  doors;  and  the  King 
of  glory  shall  come  in. 

10  Who  is  this  King  of  glory? 
The  Lord  of  hosts,  he  is  the 
King  of  glory.    Selah.

Lord:  therefore  will  he  teach 
sinners  in  the  way. 

9  The  meek  will  he  guide  in 
judgment:  and  the  meek  will 
he  teach  his  way. 

10  All  the  paths  of  the  Lord 
are  mercy  and  truth  unto  such 
as  keep  his  covenant  and  his 
testimonies. 

11  For  thy  name's  sake,  O 
Lord,  pardon  mine  iniquity; 
for  it  is  great 

12  What  man  is  he  that  f  ear- 
eth  the  Lord?  him  shall  he 
teach  in  the  way  that  he  shall 
choose. 

13  His  soul  shall  dwell  at 
ase;  and  his  seed  shall  inherit 

the  earth. 

14  The  secret  of  the  Lord  is 
with  them  that  fear  him ;  and 
he  will  shew  them  his  covenant 

15  Mine  eyes  are  ever  toward 
the  Lord  ;  for  he  shall  pluck  my 
feet  out  of  the  net 

16  Turn  thee  unto  me,  and 
have  mercy  upon  me ;  for  I  am 
desolate  and  afflicted. 

17  The  troubles  of  my  heart 
are  enlarged :  O  bring  thou  me 
out  of  my  distresses. 

18  Look  upon  mine  affliction 
and  my  pain;  and  forgive  all 
my  sins. 

19  Consider  mine  enemies; 
for  they  are  many;  and  they 
hate  me  with  cruel  hatred. 

20  O  keep  my  soul,  and  deliver 
me:  let  me  not  be  ashamed ;  for 
I  put  my  trust  in  thee. 

21  Let  integrity  and  upright- 
ness preserve  me;  for  I  wait  on 
thee. 

22  Redeem  Is/ra-el,  0  God,  out 
of  all  his  troubles. 

PSALM  26 

David,  in  confidence  of  hie  integrity t 
resort*  to  God:  8  his  love  to  God's 


A  Psalm  of  David. 

JUDGE  me,  O  Lord;  for  I 
have  walked  in  mine  integ- 
rity: I  have  trusted  also  in  the 
Lord;  therefore  I  shall  not 
slide. 

2  Examine  me,  O  Lord,  and 
prove  me ;  try  my  reins  and  my 
heart 

3  For  thy  lovingkindness  is 
before  mine  eyes:  and  I  have 
walked  in  thy  truth. 

4  I  have  not  sat  with  vain  per- 
sons, neither  will  I  go  in  with 
dissemblers. 

5  I  have  hated  the  congrega- 
tion of  evil  doers ;  and  will  not 
sit  with  the  wicked. 

6  I  will  wash  mine  hands  in 
innocency:  so  will  I  compass 
thine  altar,  0  Lord  : 

7  That  1  may  publish  with  the 


voice  of  thanksgiving,  and  tell 
of  all  thy  wondrous  works. 

8  Lord,  I  have  loved  the  habi- 
tation of  thv  house,  and  the 
place  where  thine  honour  dwell 
eth. 

9  Gather  not  my  soul  with 
sinners,  nor  my  life  with  bloody 
men: 

10  In  whose  hands  is  mischief, 
and  their  right  'hand  is  full  of 
bribes. 

11  But  as  for  me,  I  will  walk 
in  mine  integrity:  redeem  me, 
and  be  mercnul  unto  me. 

12  My  f  oot  standeth  in  an  even 

Flace:  in  the  congregations  will 
bless  the  Lord. 

PSALM  27 

David  sustains  his  faith  by  the  power 

A  Psalm  of  Da'vid. 

THE  Lord  is  my  light  and  my 
salvation;  whom  shall  I 
fear?  the  Lord  is  the  strength 
of  my  life ;  of  whom  shall  I  be 
afraid? 

2  When  the  wicked,  even  mine 
enemies  and  my  foes,  came  up- 
on me  to  eat  up  my  flesh,  they 
stumbled  and  fell. 

3  Though  an  host  should  en- 
camp against  me,  my  heart  shall 
not  fear:  though  war  should 
rise  against  me,  in  this  will  I  be 
confident 

4  One  thing  have  I  desired  of 
the  Lord,  that  will  I  seek  after ; 
that  I  may  dwell  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord  all  the  days  of  my 
life,  to  behold  the  beauty  of  the 
Lord,  and  to  enquire  in  his 
temple. 

5  For  in  the  time  of  trouble 
he  shall  hide  me  in  his  pavilion : 
in  the  secret  of  his  tabernacle 
shall  he  hide  me;  he  shall  set 
me  up  upon  a  rock. 

6  And  now  shall  mine  head  be 
lifted  up  above  mine  enemies 
round  about  me :  therefore  will 
I  offer  in  his  tabernacle  sacri- 
fices of  joy ;  I  will  sing,  yea,  I 
will  sing  praises  unto  the  Lord. 

7  Hear,  0  Lord,  when  I  cry 
with  my  voice :  have  mercy  also 
upon  me,  and  answer  me. 

8  When  thou  saidst,  Seek  ye 
my  face;  my  heart  said  unto 
thee,  Thy  face,  Lord,  will  I 
seek. 

9  Hide  not  thy  face  far  from 
me;  put  not  thy  servant  away 
in  anger:  thou  hast  been  my 
help;  leave  me  not  neither 
forsake  me,  O  God  of  my  salva- 
tion. 

10  When  my  father  and  my 
mother  forsake  me,  then  the 
Lord  will  take  me  up.

12  Deliver  me  not  over  onto 
the  will  of  mine  enemies:  for 
false  witnesses  are  risen  tip 
against  me,  and  such  as  breathe 
out  cruelty. 

13  I  had  fainted,  unless  I  had 
believed  to  see  the  goodness  of 
the  Lord  in  the  land  of  the 
living. 

14  Wait  on  the  Lord:  be  of

say,  on  the  Lord. 

PSALM  28 

David  pray*  against  his  enemies 
he  blesses  God:  9  he  prays  for  the 
people, 

A  Psalm  of  Da'vid. 

T  TNTO  thee  will  I  cry,  0  Lord 
VJ  my  rock;  be  not  6ilent  to 
me:  lest,  if  thou  be  silent  to 
me,  I  become  like  them  that  go 
down  into  the  pit. 

2  Hear  the  voice  of  my  sup- 
plications, when  I  cry  unto  thee, 
when  I  Kf  t  up  my  hands  toward 
thy  holy  oracle. 

3  Draw  me  not  away  with  the 
wicked,  and  with  the  workers  of 
iniquity,  which  speak  peace  to 
their  neighbours,  but  mischief 
is  in  their  hearts.  . 

4  Give  them  according  to 
their  deeds,  and  according  to 
the  wickedness  of  their  endeav- 
ours :  give  them  after  the  work 
of  their  hands;  fender  to  them 
their  desert 

5  Because  they  regard  not  the 
works  of  the  Lord,  nor  the  oper- 
ation of  his  hands,  he  shall  de- 
stroy them,  and  not  build  them 
up. 

6  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  because 
he  hath  heard  the  voice  of  my 
supplications. 

7  The  Lord  is  my  strength 
and  my  shield ;  my  heart  trusted 
in  him,  and  I  am  helped':  there- 
fore my  heart  greatly  rejoiceth 
and' with  my  song  will  I  praise 
him. 

8  The.  Lord  is  their  strength, 
and  he  is  the  saving  strength 
of  his  anointed. 

9  Save  thy  people,  and  bless 
thine  inheritance:  feed  them 
also,  and  lift  them  up  for  ever. 

PSALM  29 

7%e  power  of  Godfe  voice. 

A  Psalm  of  Da'vid. 

GIVE  unto  the  Lord,  O  ye 
mighty,  give  unto  the  Lord 
glory  and  strength. 
2  Give  unto  the  Lord  the  glory 
due  unto  his  same;  worship  the 


Lord  in  the  beauty  of  holiness. 

3  The  voice  of  the  Lord  is 
upon  the  waters:  the  God  of 
glory  thundereth:  the  Lord  is 
upon  many  waters. 

4  The  voice  of  the  Lord  is 
powerful ;  the  voice  of  the  Lord 
ts  full  of  majesty. 

5  The  voice  of  the  Lord  break- 
eth  the  cedars;  yea,  the  Lord 
breaketh  the  cedars  of  LeVa- 
non. 

6  He  maketh  them  also  to  skip 
like  a  calf ;  L£b'a*non  and  Sirl- 
6n  like  a  young  unicorn. 

7  The  voice  of  the  Lord  divid- 
eth  the  flames  of  fire. 

8  The  voice  of  the  Lord 
shaketh  the  wilderness;  the 
Lord  shaketh  the  wilderness 
of  KTdesh. 

9  The  voice  of  the  Lord  mak- 
eth the  hinds  to  calve,  and  dis- 
covereth  the  forests:  and  in  his 
temple  doth  every  one  speak  of 
his  glory. 

10  The  Lord  sitteth  upon 
the  flood ;  yea,  the  Lord  sitteth 
King  for  ever. 

11  The  Lord  will  eive  strength 
unto  his  people;  the  Lord  will 
bless  his  people  with  peace. 

PSALM  30 

David  praises  God  for  his  deliver- 
ance :  4  he  exhorts  others  to  praise 
him. 

A  Psalm  and  Song  at  the  dedi- 
cation of  the  house  of  Da'vid. 

I  WILL  extol  thee,  O  Lord  ; 
•for  thou  hast  lifted  me  up, 
and  hast  not  made  my  foes  to 
rejoice  over  me. 

2  O  Lord  my  God,  I  cried  unto 
thee,  and  thou  hast  healed  me. 

3  0  Lord,  thou  hast  brought 
up  mv  soul  from  the  grave: 
thou  hast  kept  me  alive,  that  I 
should  not  go  down  to  the  pit 

4  Sing  unto  the  Lord*  0  ye 
saints  of  his,  and.  give  thanks 
at  the  remembrance  of  his  holi- 
ness. 

5  For  his  anger  endureth  but 
a  moment ;  in  his  favour  is  life 
weeping  may  endure  for  a  night, 
but  mycoTneth  in  the  morning. 

6  And  in  my  prosperity  I  said, 
I  shall  never  be  moved. 

7  Lord,  by  thy  favour  thou 
hast  made  my  mountain  to  stand 
strong:  thou  didst  hide  thyf  ace, 
and  I  was  troubled. 

8  I  cried  to  thee,  0  LORD;  and 
unto  the  Lord  I  made  supplica- 
tion. 

9  What  profit  is  there  in  my 
blood,  when  I  go  down  to  the  pit  ? 
Shall  the  dust  praise  thee  ?  shall 
it  declare  thy  truth  ?

mercy  upon  me:  Lord,  be  thou 
my  helper. 

11  Thou  hast  turned  for  me 
my  mourning  into  dancing: 
thou  hast  put  off  my  sackcloth, 
and  girded  me  with  gladness ; 

12  To  the  end  that  my  glory 
may  sing  praise  to  thee,  and 
not  be  silent  0  Lord  my  God, 
I  will  give  thanks  unto  thee  for 
ever. 

PSALM  31 

David,  ahtmiw  Mi  e*nfid*ne*i*  God. 

crave*  hi*  help. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 
of  David. 

IN  thee,  0  Lord,  do  I  put 
my  trust;  let  me  never  be 
ashamed:  deliver  me  in  thy 
righteousness. 

2  Bow  down  thine  ear  to  me; 
deliver  me  speedily :  be  thou  my 
strong  rock,  for  an  house  of  de- 
fence to  save  me. 

3  For  thou  art  my  rock  and 
my  fortress;  therefore  for  thy 
name's  sake  lead  me,  and  guide 
me. 

4  Pull  me  out  of  the  net  that 
they  have  laid  .privily  for  me: 
for  thou  art  my  strength. 

5  Into  thine  hand  I  commit 
my  spirit :  thou  hast  redeemed 
me,  0  Lord  God  of  truth. 

6  I  have  hated  them  that  re- 
gard lying  vanities :  but  I  trust 
in  the  Lord. 

7  I  will  be  glad  and  rejoice  in 
thy  mercy :  for  thou  hast  con- 
sidered my  trouble;  thou  hast 
known  my  soul  in  adversities; 

8  And  hast  not  shut  me  up  in* 
to  the  hand  of  the  enemy :  thou 
hast  set  my  feet  in  a  large  room. 

9  Have  mercy  upon  me,  0 
Lord,  for  I  am  in  trouble:  mine 
eye  is  consumed  with  grief,  yea, 
my  soul  and  my  belly. 

10  For  my  life  is  spent  with 
grief ,  and  my  years  with  sigh- 
ing: my  strength  faileth  be- 
cause of  mine  iniquity,  and  my 
bones  are  consumed. 

11  I  was  a  reproach  among 
all  mine  enemies,  but  especially 
among  my  neighbours,  and  a 
fear  to  mine  acquaintance 
they  that  did  see  me  without 
fled  from  me. 

12  I  am  forgotten  as  a  dead 
man  out  of  mind :  I  am  like  a 
broken  vessel 

13  For  I  have  heard  the  slan- 
der of  many:  fear  was  on  every 
side:  while  they  took  counsel 
together  against  me,  they  de- 
vised to  take  away  my  life. 

14  But  I  trusted  in  thee,  0 
Lord  :  1  said,  Thou  art  my  God, 

15  My  times  are  in  thy  hand 
deliver  me  from  the  hand  of 


mine  enemies,  and  from  them 
that  persecute  me. 

16  Make  thy  face  to  shine 
upon  thy  servant:  save  me  for 
thy  mercies'  sake. 

17  Let  me  not  be  ashamed, 
0  Lord;  for  I  have  called 
upon  thee:  let  the  wicked  be 
ashamed,  and  let  them  be  silent 
in  the  grave. 

18  Let  the  lying  lips  be  put  to 
silence;  which  speak  grievous 
things  proudly  and  contemptu- 
ously against  the  righteous. 

19  Oh  how  great  %s  thy  good- 
ness, which  thou  hast  laid  up 
for  them  that  fear  thee ;  which 
thou  hast  wrought  for  them  that 
trust  in  thee  before  the  sons  of 
men! 

20  Thou  shalt  hide  them  in 
the  secret  of  thy  presence  from 
the  pride  of  man:  thou  shalt 
keep  them  secretly  in  a  pavilion 
from  the  strife  of  tongues. 

21  Blessed  be  the  Lord:  for 
he  hath  shewed  me  his  marvel- 
lous kindness  in  a  strong  city. 

22  For  I  said  in  my  haste,  I 
am  cut  off  from  before  thine 
eyes:  nevertheless  thou  heard- 
est  the  voice  of  my  supplica- 
tions when  I  cried  unto  thee. 

23  O  love  the  Lord,  all  ye  his 
saints :  for  the  Lord  preserveth 
the  faithful,  and  plentifully  re- 
wardeth  the  proua  doer. 

24  Be  of  good  courage,  and  he 
shall  strengthen  your  heart,  all 
ye  that  hope  in  the  Lord. 

PSALM  32 

BU***dn***  of  Mm  who**  Bin*  or* 
jorffiven, 

A  Psalm  of  Da'vid,  Mfis'chU 

BLESSED  is  he  whose  trans- 
gression is  forgiven,  whose 
sin  is  covered. 

2  Blessed  is  the  man  unto 
whom  the  Lord  imputeth  not 
iniquity,  and  in  whose  spirit 
there  is  no  guile. 

3  When  I  kept  silence,  my 
bones  waxed  old  through  my 
roaring  all  the  day  long. 

4  For  day  and  night  thy  hand 
was  heavy  upon  me:  my  mois- 
ture is  turned  into  the  drought 
of  summer.    SSlah. 

5  I  acknowledged  my  sin  unto 
thee,  and  mine  iniquity  have  I 
not  hid.  I  said,  I  will  confess 
my  transgressions  unto  the 
Lord;  and  thou  forgavest  the 
iniquity  of  my  sin.    Sglah. 

6  For  this  shall  every  one  that 
is  godly  pray  unto  thee  in  a  time 
when  thou  mayest  be  found: 
surely  in  the  floods  of  great  wa- 
ters they  shall  not  come  nigh 
unto  him.

7  Thou  art  my  hiding  place;

8  I  will  instruct  thee  and 
teach  thee  in  the  way  which 
thou  shalt  go :  I  will  guide  thee 
with  mine  eye. 

9  Be  ye  not  as  the  horse,  or

must  be  held  in  with  bit  and

thee.

eth  in  the  Lord,  mercy  shall

11  Be  glad  in  the  Lord,  "and

PSALM  33 

God  to  be  praised  for  his  goodness 
and  hie  pouter. 

REJOICE  in   the  Lord,   0 
ye  righteous :  for  praise  is 
comely  for  the  upnght 

2  Praise  the  Lord  with 
harp:  sing  unto  him  with  the 
psaltery  and_  an  instrument  of 
ten  strings. 

3  Sing  unto  him  a  new  song ; 
play  skilfully  with  a  loud  noise. 

4  For  the  word  of  the  Lord 
is  right ;  and  all  his  works  are 
done  in  truth. 

5  He  loveth  righteousness  and 
judgment:  the  earth  is  full  of 
the  goodness  of  the  Lord. 

6  By  the  word  of  the  Lord 
were  the  heavens  made ;  and  all 
the  host  of  them  by  the  breath 
of  his  mouth. 

7  He  gathereth  the  waters  of 
the  sea  together  as  an  heap 
he  layeth  up  the  depth  in  store- 
houses. 

8  Let  all  the  earth  fear  the 
Lord  :  let  all  the  inhabitants  of 
the  world  stand  in  awe  of  him. 

9  For  he  spake,  and  it  was 
done;  he  commanded,  and  it 
stood  fast 

10  The  Lord  bringeth  the 
counsel  of  the  heathen  to 
nought:  he  maketh  the  de- 
vices of  the  people  of  none 
effect 

11  The  counsel  of  the  Lord 
standeth  for  ever,  the  thoughts 
of  his  heart  to  all  generations. 

12  Blessed  is  the  nation  whose 
God  is  the  Lord  ;  and  the  peo- 
ple whom  he  hath  chosen  for 
tis  own  inheritance. 

13  The  Lord  looketh  from 
heaven;  he  beholdeth  all  the 
sons  of  men. 

14  From  the  place  of  his  habi- 


tation he  looketh  upon  all  the 
inhabitants  of  the  earth. 

15  He  faahioneth  their  hearts 
alike;  he  considereth  all  their 
works. 

16  There  is  no  king  saved 
by  the  multitude  of  an  host:  a 
mighty  man  is  not  delivered  by 
much  strength. 

17  An  horse  is  a  vain  thing 
for  safety :  neither  shall  he  de- 
liver any  by  his  great  strength, 

18  Behold,  the  eye  of  the 
Lord  is  upon  them  that  fear 
him,  upon  them  that  hope  in 
his  mercy; 

19  To  deliver  their  soul  from 
death,  and  to  keep  them  alive 
in  famine. 

20  Our  soul  waiteth  for  the 
Lord:  he  is  our  help  and  our 
shield. 

21  For  our  heart  shall  rejoice 
in  him,  because  we  have  trusted 
in  his  holy  name. 

22  Let  thy  mercy,  O  Lord,  he 
upon  us,  according  as  we  hope 
in  thee. 

PSALM  34 

David  praises  God,  and  exhorts 
others  thereto  by  his  experience, 
8  They  blessed  who  trust  in  God. 

A  Psalm  of  Da'vid,  when  he 
changed  his  behaviour  before 
A-bim'e-lech ;  who  drove  him 
away,  and  he  departed. 

I  WILL  bless  the  Lord  at  all 
times :  his  praise  shall  con- 
tinually be  in  my  mouth. 

2  My  soul  shall  make  her 
boast  in  the  Lord  :  the  humble 
shall  hear  thereof,  and  be  glad. 

3  O  magnify  the  Lord  with 
me,  and  let  us  exalt  his  name 
together. 

4  I  sought  the  Lord,  and  he 
heard  me,  and  delivered  me 
from  all  my  fears. 

5  They  looked  unto  him,  and 
were  lightened :  and  their  faces 
were  not  ashamed. 

6  This  poor  man  cried,  and 
the  Lord  heard  him,  and  saved 
him  out  of  all  his  troubles. 

7  The  angel  of  the  Lord  en 
campeth  round  about  them  that 
fear  him,  and  delivereth  them. 

8  O  taste  and  see  that  the 
Lord  is  good:  blessed  is  the 
man  that  trusteth  in  him. 

9  O  fear  the  Lord,  ye  his 
saints :  for  there  is  no  want  to 
them  that  fear  him. 

10  The  young  lions  do  lack, 
and  suffer  hunger:  but  they 
that  seek  the  Lord  shall  not 
want  any  good  thing. 

11  Come,  ye  children,  heark- 
en unto  me:  I  will  teach  you 
the  fear  of  the  Lord.

sireth  life,  and  loveth  many 
days,  that  he  may  see  good? 

13  Keep  thy  tongue  from  evil, 
and  thy  lips  from  speaking  guile. 

14  Depart  from  evil,  and  do 
good ;  seek  peace,  and  pursue  it 

15  The  eyes  of  the  Lord  are 
upon  the  righteous,  and  his  ears 
are  open  unto  their  cry. 

16  The  face  of  the  Lord  is 
against  them  that  do  evil,  to  cut 
off  the  remembrance  of  them 
from  the  earth. 

17  The  righteous  cry,  and  the 
Lord  heareth,  and  delivereth 
them  out  of  all  their  troubles. 

18  The  Lord  is  nigh  unto 
them  that  are  of  a  broken 
heart;  and  saveth  such  as  be 
of  a  contrite  spirit 

19  Many  are  the  afflictions  of 
the  righteous:  but  the  Lord  de- 
livereth him  out  of  them  all. 

20  He  keeneth  all  his  bones 
not  one  of  them  is  broken. 

21  Evil  shall  slay  the  wicked: 
and  they  that  hate  the  right- 
eous shall  be  desolate. 

22  The  Lord  redeemeth  the 
soul  of  his  servants:  and  none 
of  them  that  trust  in  him  shall 
be  desolate. 

PSALM  35 

David  prays  for  safety;  22  he  pleads 
with  God  to  do  him  right, 

A  Psalm  of  Dfi'vid. 

PLEAD  my  cause,  O  Lord, 
with  them  that  strive  with 
me:  fight  against  them  that 
fight  against  me. 

2  Take  hold  of  shield  and 
buckler,  and  stand  up  for  mine 
help. 

3  Draw  out  also  the  spear,  and 
stop  the  way  against  them  that 
persecute  me:  say  unto  my  soul, 
I  am  thy  salvation. 

4  Let  them  be  confounded  and 
put  to  shame  that  seek  after  my 
soul :  let  them  be  turned  back 
and  brought  to  confusion  that 
devise  my  hurt 

5  Let  them  be  as  chaff  before 
the  wind:  and  let  the  angel  of 
the  Lord  chase  them. 

6  Let  their  way  be  dark  and 
slippery:  and  let  the  angel  of 
the  Lord  persecute  them. 

7  For  without  cause  have 
they  hid  for  me  their  net  in  a 
pit  which  without  cause  they 
have  digged  for  my  soul. 

8  Let  destruction  come  upon 
him  at  unawares;  and  let  his 
net  that  he  hath  hid  catch  him- 
self: into  that  very  destruction 
let  him  falL 

9  And  my  soul  shall  be  joyful 
in  the  Lord:  it  shall  rejoice  in 
his  salvation. 


10  All  my  bones  shall  say, 
Lord,  who  is  like  unto  thee, 
which  deliverest  the  poor  from 
him  that  is  too  strong  for  him, 
yea,  the  poor  and  the  needy 
from  him  that  spoileth  him? 

11  False  witnesses  did  rise 
up;  they  laid  to  my  charge 
things  that  I  knew  not 

12  They  rewarded  me  evil  for 
good  to  the  spoiling  of  my  soul. 

13  But  as  for  me,  when  they 
were  sick,  my  clothing  was  sack- 
cloth :  I  humbled  my  soul  with 
fasting ;  and  my  prayer  returned 
into  mine  own  bosom. 

14  I  behaved  myself  as  though 
he  had  been  my  mend  or  broth- 
er: I  bowed  down  heavily,  as 
one  that  mourneth  for  his 
mother. 

15  But  in  mine  adversity  they 
rejoiced,  and  gathered  them- 
selves together:  yea,  the  ab- 
jects  gathered  themselves  to- 
gether against  me,  and  I  knew 
it  not;  they  did  tear  me,  and 
ceased  not: 

16  With  hypocritical  mockers 
in  feasts,  they  gnashed  upon  me 
with  their  teeth. 

17  Lord,  how  long  wilt  thou 
look  on?  rescue  my  soul  from 
their  destructions,  my  darling 
from  the  lions. 

18  I  will  give  thee  thanks  in 
the  great  congregation :  I  will 
praise  thee  among  much  people. 

19  Let  not  them  that  are  mine 
enemies  wrongfully  rejoice  over 
me :  neither  let  them  wink  with 
the  eye  that  hate  me  without  a 
cause. 

20  For  they  speak  not  peace : 
but  they  devise  deceitful  mat- 
ters against  them  that  are  quiet 
in  the  land. 

21  Yea,  they  opened  their 
mouth  wide  against  me,  and 
said,  Aha,  aha,  our  eye  hath 
seen  it. 

22  This  thou  hast  seen,  O 
Lord:  keep  not  silence:  0 
Lord,  be  not  far  from  me. 

23  Stir  up  thyself,  and  awake 
to  my  judgment  even  unto  my 
cause,  my  God  and  my  Lord. 

24  Judge  me,  0  Lord  my  God, 
according  to  thy  righteousness ; 
and  let  them  not  rejoice  over 
me. 

25  Let  them  not  say  in  their 
hearts,  Ah,  so  would  we  have  it 
let  them  not  say,  We  have  swal- 
lowed him  up. 

26  Let  them  be  ashamed  and 
brought  to  confusion  together 
that  rejoice  at  mine  hurt :  let 
them  be  clothed  with  shame  and 
dishonour  that  magnify  them- 
selves against  me.

PSALM  36 

Miserable  estate  of  the  wieked\    SBso- 
eellency  of  God's  mercy. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 
of  Da'vid  the  servant  of  the 
Lord. 

THE  transgression  of  the 
wicked  saith  within  my 
heart,  that  there  is  no  fear  of 
God  before  his  eyes. 

2  For  he  flattereth  himself  in 
his  own  eyes,  until  his  iniquity 
be  found  to  be  hateful. 

3  The  words  of  his  mouth  are 
iniquity  and  deceit :  he  hath  left 
off  to  be  wise,  and  to  do  good. 

4  He  deviseth  mischief  upon 
his  bed;  he  setteth  himself  in  a 
way  that  is  not  good ;  he  abhor- 
reth  not  evil. 

5  Thy  mercy,  0  Lord,  is  in  the 
heavens ;  ana  thy  faithfulness 
reacheth  unto  the  clouds. 

6  Thy  righteousness  is  like 
the  great  mountains ;  thy  judg- 
ments are  a  great  deep:  O 
Lord,  thou  preservest  man  and 
beast. 

7  How  excellent  is  thy  lov- 
ingkindness, 0  God!  therefore 
the  children  of  men  put  their 
trust  under  the  shadow  of  thy 
wings. 

8  They  shall  be  abundantly 
satisfied  with  the  fatness  of  thy 
house;  and  thou  shalt  make 
them  drink  of  the  river  of  thy 
pleasures. 

9  For  with  thee  is  the  foun- 
tain of  life:  in  thy  light  shall 
we  see  light. 

10  0  continue  thy  lovingkind- 
ness unto  them  that  know  thee ; 
and  thy  righteousness  to  the 
upright  in  heart 

11  Let  not  the  foot  of  pride 
come  against  me,  and  let  not 
the  hand  of  the  wicked  remove 
me. 

12  There  are  the  workers  of 
iniquity  fallen:  they  are  cast 
down,  and  shall  not  be  able  to 
rise. 

PSALM  37 

The  happy  state  of  the  godly,  and 
short-lived 


the  short-lived  prosperity  of  the 
wicked. 

A  Psalm  of  Dfi'vid. 

FJET  not  thyself  because  of 
evildoers,  neither  be  thou 


envious  against  the  workers  of 
iniquity. 

2  For  they  shall  soon  be  cut 
down  like  the  grass,  and  wither 
as  the  green  herb. 

3  Trust  in  the  Lord,  and  do 
good;  so  shalt  thou  dwell  in 
the  land,  and  verily  thou  shalt 
be  fed. 

4  Delight  thyself  also  in  the 
Lord;  and  he  shall  give  thee 
the  desires  of  thine  heart 

5  Commit  thy  way  unto  the 
Lord;  trust  also  in  him;  and 
he  shall  bring  it  to  pass. 

6  And  he  shall  bring  forth  thy 
righteousness  as  the  light,  and 
thy  judgment  as  the  noonday. 

7  Rest  in  the  Lord,  and  wait 
patiently  for  him:  fret  not  thy- 
self because  of  him  who  pros- 
pereth  in  his  way,  because  of 
the  man  who  bringeth  wicked 
devices  to  pass. 

8  Cease  from  anger,  and  for- 
sake wrath :  fret  not  thyself  in 
any  wise  to  do  evil. 

9  For  evildoers  shall  be  cut 
off:  but  those  that  wait  upon 
the  Lord,  they  shall  inherit  the 
earth. 

10  For  yet  a  little  while,  and 
the  wicked  shall  not  be :  yea, 
thou  shalt  diligently  consider 
his  place,  and  it  shall  not  be. 

11  But  the  meek  shall  inherit 
the  earth;  and  shall  delight 
themselves  in  the  abundance  of 
peace. 

12  The  wicked  plotteth  against 
the  just,  and  gnasheth  upon  him 
with  his  teeth. 

13  The  Lord  shall  lauph  at 
him :  for  he  seeth  that  his  day 
is  coming. 

14  The  wicked  have  drawn  out 
the  sword,  and  have  bent  their 
bow,  to  cast  down  the  poor  and 
needy,  and  to  slay  such  as  be 
of  upright  conversation. 

15  Their  sword  shall  enter  in 
to  their  own  heart,  and  their 
bows  shall  be  broken. 

16  A  little  that  a  righteous 
man  hath  is  better  than  the 
riches  of  many  wicked. 

17  For  the  arms  of  the  wicked 
shall  be  broken :  but  the  Lord 
upholdeth  the  righteous. 

18  The  Lord  knoweth  the  days 
of  the  upright:  and  their  in- 
heritance shall  be  for  ever. 

19  They  shall  not  be  ashamed 
in  die  evil  time:  and  in  the 
days  of  famine  they  shall  be 
satisfied. 

20  But  the  wicked  shall  perish, 
and  the  enemies  of  the  Lord 
shall  be  as  the  fat  of  lambs: 
they  shall  consume ;  into  smoke 
shall  they  consume  away.

21  The  wicked  borroweth,  and 
payeth  not  again :  but  the  right- 
eons  sheweth  mercy,  and  giveth. 

22  Far  such  as  be  blessed  of 
him  shall  inherit  the  earth ;  and 
they  that  6e  cursed  of  him  shall 
be  cut  off. 

23  The  steps  of  a  good  man 
are  ordered  by  the  Lord  :  and 
he  delighteth  in  his  way. 

24  Though  he  fall,  he  shall 
not  be  utterly  cast  down:  for 
the  Lord  upholdeth  him  with 
his  hand. 

25  I  have  been  young,  and 
now  am  old;  yet  have  I  not 
seen  the  righteous  forsaken,  nor 
his  seed  begging  bread, 

26  He  is  ever  merciful,  and 
lendeth ;  and  his  seed  is  blessed. 

27  Depart  from  evil,  and  do 
good;  and  dwell  for  evermore. 

28  For  the  Lord  loveth  judg- 
ment, and  forsaketh  not  his 
saints;  they  are  preserved  for 
ever :  but  the  seed  of  the  wicked 
shall  be  cut  off. 

29  The  righteous  shall  inherit 
the  land,  and  dwell  therein  for 
ever. 

30  The  mouth  of  the  righteous 
speaketh  wisdom,  and  his  tongue 
talketh  of  judgment. 

31  The  law  of  his  God  is  in 
his  heart;  none  of  his  steps 
shall  slide. 

32  The  wicked  watcheth  the 
righteous,  and  seeketh  to  slay 
him. 

33  The  Lord  will  not  leave 
him  in  his  hand,  nor  condemn 
him  when  he  is  judged. 

34  Wait  on  the  Lord,  and  keep 
his  way,  and  he  shall  exalt  thee 
to  inherit  the  land:  when  the 
wicked  are  cut  off,  thou  shalt 
see  it. 

35  I  have  seen  the  wicked  in 
great  power,  and  spreading  him- 
self like  a  green  bay  tree. 

36  Yet  he  passed  away,  and,  lo, 
he  was  not :  yea,  I  sought  him, 
but  he  could  not  be  found. 

37  Mark  the  perfect  man,  and 
behold  the  upnght:  for  the  end 
of  that  man  is  peace. 

38  But  the  transgressors  shall 
be  destroyed  together:  the  end 
of  the  wicked  shall  be  cut  off. 

39  But  the  salvation  of  the 
righteous  is  of  the  Lord  :  he  is 
their  strength  in  the  time  of 
trouble, 

40  And  the  Lord  shall  help 
them,  and  deliver  them:  he 
shall  deliver  them  from  the 
wicked,  and  save  them,  because 
they  trust  in  him. 

PSALM  38 


o/  hie  pitiful  cam,  eonftminff  hie 
tin*  to  be  the  cause  thereof. 

A  Psalm  of  D&'vid,  to  bring  to 
remembrance. 

OLORD,  rebuke  me  not  in 
thy  wrath :  neither  chasten 
me  in  thy  hot  displeasure. 

2  For  thine  arrows  stick  fast 
in  me,  and  thy  hand  presseth 
me  sore. 

3  There  is  no  soundness  in  my 
flesh  because  of  thine  anger; 
neither  is  there  any  rest  in  my 
bones  because  of  my  sin. 

4  For  mine  iniquities  are  gone 
over  mine  head:  as  an  heavy 
burden  they  are  too  heavy  for 
me. 

5  My  wounds  stink  and  are 
corrupt  because  of  my  foolish- 
ness. 

6  I  am  troubled ;  I  am  bowed 
down  greatly;  I  go  mourning 
all  the  day  long. 

7  For  my  loins  are  filled  with 
a  loathsome  disease :  and  there 
is  no  soundness  in  my  flesh. 

8  I  am  feeble  and  sore  broken 
I  have  roared  by  reason  of  the 
disquietness  of  my  heart 

9  Lord,  all  my  desire  is  before 
thee;  and  my  groaning  is  not 
hid  from  thee. 

10  My  heart  panteth,  my 
strength  faileth  me:  as  for  the 
light  of  mine  eyes,  it  also  is 
gone  from  me. 

11  My  lovers  and  my  friends 
stand  aloof  from  my  sore;  and 
my  kinsmen  stand  afar  off. 

12  They  also  that  seek  after 
my  life  lay  snares  for  me :  and 
they  that  seek  my  hurt  speak 
mischievous  things,  and  imag- 
ine deceits  all  the  day  long. 

13  But  I,  as  a  deaf  man,  heard 
not ;  and  I  was  as  a  dumb  man 
that  openeth  not  his  mouth. 

14  Thus  I  was  as  a  man 
that  heareth  not,  and  in  whose 
mouth  are  no  reproofs. 

15  For  in  thee,  0  Lord,  do  I 
hope:  thou  wilt  hear,  O  Lord 
my  God. 

16  For  I  said,  Hear  me,  lest 
otherwise  they  should  rejoice 
over  me:  when  my  foot  slip- 
peth,  they  magnify  themselves 
against  me. 

17  For  I  am  ready  to  halt,  and 
my  sorrow  is  continually  before 
me. 

18  For  I  will  declare  mine 
iniquity;  I  will  be  sorry  for 
my  sin. 

19  But  mine  enemies  are  live- 
ly, and  they  are  strong:  and 
they  that  hate  me  wrongfully 
are  multiplied. 

20  They  also  that  render  evil 
David  moves  God  to  take  companion  for  good  are  mine  adversaries ;

PSALM  39 
David'e  care  of  his  thought*.    4  Of 

the  brevity  and  vanity  ofHfe. 
To  the  chief  Musician,  even  to 
JeU'u-tmln,  A  Psalm  of  DS'vid. 

I  SAID,  I  will  take  heed  to  my 
ways,  that  I  sin  not  with  my 
tongue :  I  will  keep  my  mouth 
with  a  bridle,  while  the  wicked 
is  before  me. 

2  I  was  dumb  with  silence, 

1  held  my  peace,  even  from 
good;  and  my  sorrow  was 
stirred. 

3  My  heart  was  hot  within  me, 
while  I  was  musing  the  fire 
burned:  then  spake  I  with  my 
tongue, 

4  Lord,  make  me  to  know 
mine  end,  and  the  measure  of 
my  days,  what  it  ta;  that  I  may 
know  how  frail  I  am. 

5  Behold,  thou  hast  made  my 
days  ae  an  handbreadth;  and 
mine  age  is  as  nothing  before 
thee:  verily  every  man  at  his 
best  state  is  altogether  vanity. 
Selah. 

6  Surely  every  man  walketh 
in  a  vain  shew:  surely  they  are 
disquieted  in  vain :  he  heapeth 
up  riches,  and  knoweth  not 
who  shall  gather  them. 

7  And  now,  Lord,  what  wait  I 
for?  my  hope  is  in  thee. 

8  Deliver  me  from  all  my 
transgressions:  make  me  not 
the  reproach  of  the  foolish. 

9  I  was  dumb,  I  opened  not  my 
mouth ;  because  thou  didst  it 

10  Remove  thy  stroke  away 
from  me:  I  am  consumed  by 
the  blow  of  thine  hand. 

11  When  thou  with  rebukes 
dost  correct  man  for  iniquity, 
thou  makest  his  beauty  to  con- 
sume away  like  a  moth :  surely 
every  man  is  vanity.    Selah. 

12  Hear  my  prayer,  O  Lord, 
and  give  ear  unto  my  cry ;  hold 
not  thy  peace  at  my  tears :  for 
I  am  a  stranger  with  thee,  and 
a  sojourner,  as  all  my  fathers 
were. 

13  O  spare  me,  that  I  may 
recover  strength,  before  I  go 
hence,  and  be  no  more. 

PSALM  40 
The  benefit  of  confidence  in  God.    6 

Obedience  the  beet  sacrifice. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 

of  Da'vid. 

I  WAITED  patiently  for  the 
Lord  ;  ana  he  inclined  unto 
me,  and  heard  my  cry. 


2  He  brought  me  up  also  out 
of  an  horrible  pit,  out  of  the 
miry  clay,  and  set  my  feet  up- 
on a  rock,  and  established  my 
goings. 

3  And  he  hath  put  a  new  song 
in  my  mouth,  even  praise  unto 
our  God :  many  shall  see  it,  and 
fear,  and  shall  trust  in  the  Lord. 

4  Blessed  is  that  man  that 
maketh  the  Lord  his  trust,  and 
respecteth  not  the  proud,  nor 
such  as  turn  aside  to  lies. 

5  Many,  0  Lord  my  God,  are 
thy  wonderful  works  which 
thou  hast  done,  and  thy 
thoughts  which  are  to  us- 
ward:  they  cannot  be  reck- 
oned up  in  order  unto  thee :  if 
I  would  declare  and  speak  of 
them,  they  are  more  than  can 
be  numbered. 

6  Sacrifice  and  offering  thou 
didst  not  desire;  mine  ears  hast 
thou  opened :  burnt  offering  and 
sin  offering  hast  thou  not  re- 
quired. 

7  Then  said  I,  Lo,  I  come :  in 
the  volume  of  the  book  it  is 
written  of  me, 

8  I  delight  to  do  thy  will,  O 
my  God:  yea,  thy  law  is  with- 
in my  heart 

9  I  have  preached  righteous- 
ness in  the  great  congregation : 
lo,  I  have  not  refrained  my  lips, 
0  Lord,  thou  knowest 

10  I  have  not  hid  thy  right- 
eousness within  my  heart;  I 
have  declared  thy  faithfulness 
and  thy  salvation:  I  have  not 
concealed  thy  lovingkindness 
and  thy  truth  from  the  great 
congregation. 

11  Withhold  not  thou  thy  ten- 
der mercies  from  me,  O  Lord  : 
let  thy  lovingkindness  and  thy 
truth  continually  preserve  me. 

12  For  innumerable  evilB  have 
compassed  me  about:  mine  in- 
iquities have  taken  hold  upon 
me,  so  that  I  am  not  able  to 
look  up;  they  are  more  than 
the  hairs  of  mine  head :  there- 
fore my  heart  faileth  me. 

13  Be  pleased,  0  Lord,  to  de- 
liver me :  O  Lord,  make  haste 
to  help  me. 

14  Let  them  be  ashamed  and 
confounded  together  that  seek 
after  my  soul  to  destroy  it;  let 
them  be  driven  backward  and 
put  to  shame  that  wish  me  evil. 

15  Let  them  be  desolate  for  a 
reward  of  their  shame  that  say 
unto  me,  Aha,  aha. 

16  Let  all  those  that  seek  thee 
rejoice  and  be  glad  in  thee :  let 
such  as  love  thy  salvation  say 
continually.  The  Lord  be  mag- 
nified.

PSALM  41 
Blessing  of  the  charitable  man.   4 
David  complain*  of  his  enemies1 
treachery. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 
of  Da'vid. 

BLESSED  is  he  that  consid- 
ereth  the  poor:  the  Lord 
will  deliver  ' —  i_  ^ —  ~* 
trouble. 


3  My  tears  have  been  my 
meat  day  and  night,  while  they 
continually  say  unto  me,  Where 
is  thy  God? 

4  When  I  remember  these 
things,  I  pour  out  my  soul  in 
me:  for  l  had  gone  with  the 
multitude,  I  went  with  them  to 
the  house  of  God,  with  the  voice 
of  joy  and  praise,  with  a  multi- 
tude that  kept  holyday. 

5  Why  art  thou  cast  down,  0 
my  soul?  and  why  art  thou 
disquieted  in  me?  hope  thou  in 
God:  for  I  shall  yet  praise  him 

2  The  Lord  will  preserve  him,  for  the  help  of  his  countenance. 


him  in   time  of 


and  keep  him  alive;  and  he 
shall  be  blessed  upon  the  earth : 
and  thou  wilt  not  deliver  him 
unto  the  will  of  his  enemies. 

3  The  Lord  will  strengthen 
him  upon  the  bed  of  languish- 
ing :  tnou  wilt  make  all  his  bed 
in  his  sickness. 

4  I  said,  Lord,  be  merciful 
unto  me:  heal  my  soul;  for  I 
have  sinned  against  thee. 

5  Mine  enemies  speak  evil  of 
me,  When  shall  he  die,  and  his 
name  perish? 

6  And  if  he  come  to  see  me, 
he  speaketh  vanity:  his  heart 
gathereth  iniquity  to  itself; 
when  he  goeth  abroad,  he  tell- 
ethit. 

7  All  that  hate  me  whisper 
together  against  me:  against 
me  do  thev  devise  my  hurt. 

8  An  evil  disease,  say  they, 
cleaveth  fast  unto  him:  and 
now  that  he  lieth  he  shall  rise 
up  no  more. 

9  Yea,  mine  own  familiar 
friend,  in  whom  I  trusted, 
which  did  eat  of  my  bread, 
hath  lifted  up  his  heel  against 
me. 

10  But  thou,  O  Lord,  be  mer- 
ciful unto  me,  and  raise  me  up, 
that  I  may  requite  them. 

11  By  this  I  know  that  thou 
favourest  me,  because  mine  en- 
emy doth  not  triumph  over  me. 

12  And  as  for  me,  thou  up- 
holdest  me  in  mine  integrity, 
and  settest  me  before  thy  face 
for  ever. 

13  Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of 
Is/ra-el  from  everlasting,  and  to 
everlasting.  A-mgn',and  A-men'. 

PSALM  42 

Thirsting  for  God  in  trouble. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  MaVchil, 
for  the  sons  of  Kd'rah. 

AS  the  hart  panteth   after 
the  water  brooks,  so  pant- 
eth my  soul  after  thee,  0  God. 
2  My  soul  thirsteth  for  God, 
for  the  living  God:  when  shall 
I  come  and  appear  before  God  ? 


6  6  my  God,  my  soul  is  cast 
down  within  me :  therefore  will 
I  remember  thee  from  the  land 
of  Jdrtlan,  and  of  theHeVmon- 
ites,  from  the  hill  MTzar. 

7  Deep  calleth  unto  deep  at 
the  noise  of  thy  waterspouts 
all  thy  waves  and  thy  billows 
are  gone  over  me. 

8  Yet  the  Lord  will  command 
his  lovingkindness  in  the  day- 
time, and  in  the  night  his  song 
shall  be  with  me,  ana  my  prayer 
unto  the  God  of  my  life. 

9  I  will  say  unto  God  my 
rock,  Why  hast  thou  forgotten 
me?  why  go  I  mourning  be- 
cause of  the  oppression  of  the 
enemy  ? 

10  As  with  a  sword  in  my 
bones,  mine  enemies  reproach 
me ;  while  they  say  daily  unto 
me,  Where  is  thy  God  ? 

11  Why  art  thou  cast  down,  0 
my  soul  ?  and  why  art  thou  dis- 
quieted within  me?  hope  thou 
in  God:  for  I  shall  vet  praise 
him,  who  is  the  health  of  my 
countenance,  and  my  God. 

PSALM  43 

David,  praying  to  be  restored  to  the 
temple,  promisee  to  serve  God  joy- 
fully. 

JUDGE  me,  0  God,  and  plead 
my  cause  against  an  ungodly 
nation :  0  deliver  me  from  the 
deceitful  and  unjust  man. 

2  For  thou  art  the  God  of 
my  strength:  why  dost  thou 
cast  me  off  ?  why  go  I  mourn- 
ing because  of  the  oppression 
of  the  enemy? 

3  0  send  out  thy  light  and 
thy  truth:  let  them  lead  me; 
let  them  bring  me  unto  thy 
holy  hill,  and  to  thy  tabernacles. 

4  Then  will  I  go  unto  the 
altar  of  God,  unto  God  my  ex- 
ceeding joy:  yea,  upon  the  harp 
will  I  praise  thee,  O  God  my 
God. 

5  Why  art  thou  cast  down,  0 
my  soul  ?  and  why  art  thou  dis- 
quieted within  me?  hope  in 
God :  for  I  shall  yet  praise  him,

PSALM  44 
The  church,  in  memory  cf  former 
favour*,  complains  of  her  present 
evil*. 

To  the  chief  Musician  for  the 
sons  of  Ko'iah,  MaYehIL 

WE  have  heard  with  our 
ears,  O  God,  our  fathers 
have  told  as,  what  work  thou 
didst  in  their  days,  in  the  times 
of  old. 

2  How  thou  didst  drive*  out 
the  heathen  with  thy  hand,  and 
plantedst  them ;  how  thou  didst 
afflict  the  people,  and  cast  them 
out 

3  For  they  got  not  the  land  in 
possession  by  their  own  sword, 
neither  did  their  own  arm  save 
them:  but  thy  right  hand,  and 
thine  arm,  and  the  light  of  thy 
countenance,  because  thou  hadst 
a  favour  unto  them. 

4  Thou  art  my  King,  0  God : 
command  deliverances  for  Ja'- 
cob. 

5  Through  thee  will  we  push 
down  our  enemies :  through  thy 
name  will  we  tread  them  under 
that  rise  up  against  us*   ' 

6  For  I  will  not  trust  in  my 
bow,  neither  shall  my  sword 
save  me. 

7  But  thou  hast  saved  us  from 
our  enemies,  and  hast  put  them 
to  shame  that  hated  us. 

8  In  God  we  boast  all  the  day 
long,  and  praise  thy  name  for 
fever.    Stflah. 

9  But  thou  hast  cast  off,  and 
put  us  to  shame  ;•  and  goest  not 
forth  with  our  armies. 

10  Thou  makest  us  to  turn 
back  from  the  enemy :  and  they 
which  hate  us  spoil  for  them- 
selves. 

11  Thou  hast  given  us  like 
sheep  appointed  for  meat ;  and 
hast  scattered  us  among  the 
heathen. 

12  Thou  sellest  thy  people  for 
nought,  and  dost  not  increase 
thy  wealth  by  their  price. 

13  Thou  makest  us  a  reproach 
to  our  neighbours,  a  scorn  and  a 
derision  to  them  that  are  round 
about  us. 

14  Thou  makest  us  a  byword 
among  the  heathen*  a  shaking 
of  the  head  among  the  people. 

15  My  confusion  i*  continually 
before  me,  and  the  shame  of  my 
face  hath  covered  me, 

16  For  the  voice  of  him  that 
reproacheth  and  blasphemeth; 
by  reason  of  the  enemy  and 
avenger. 

17  All  this,  is  come  upon  us; 
yet  have  we  not  forgotten  thee, 


neither  have  we  dealt  falsely  in 
thy  covenant 

18  Out  heart  is  not  turned 
back,  neither  have  our  steps 
declined  from  thy  way; 

19  Though  thou  hast  sore 
broken  us  in  the  place  of  drag- 
ons, and  covered  us  with  the 
shadow  of  death. 

20  K  we  have  forgotten  the 
name  of  our  God,  or  stretched 
out  our  hands  to  a  strange  god ; 

21  Shall  not  God  search  this 
out?  for  he  knoweth  the  secrets 
of  the  heart 

22  Yea,  for  thy  sake  are  we 
killed  all  the  day  long;  we  are 
counted  as  sheep  for  the  slaugh- 
ter. 

23  Awake,  why  sleepest  thou, 
O  Lord?  arise,  cast  us  not  off 
forever. 

24  Wherefore  hidest  thou  thy 
face,  and  f orgettest  our  afflic- 
tion and  our  oppression? 

25  For  our  soul  is  bowed  down 
to  the  dust:  our  belly  deaveth 
unto  the  earth. 

26  Arise  for  our  help,  and  re- 
deem us  for  thy  mercies'  sake. 

PSALM  45 

Majesty  and  grace  of  Chris?*  kino* 

'dam. 

To'  the  chief  Musician  upon 
Sho-shan'nim,  for  the  sons  of 
Ka'rah,  MaYchil,  A  Song  of 
loves. 

MY  heart  is  inditing  a  good 
matter:  I  speak  of  the 
things  which  I  have  made 
touching  the  king:  my  tongue 
is  the  pen  of  a  ready  writer. 

2  Thou  art  fairer  than  the 
children  of  men :  grace  is  poured 
into  thy  lips :  therefore  God  hath 
blessed  thee  for  ever. 

3  Gird  thy  sword  upon  thy 
thigh,  0  most  mighty,  with  thy 
glory  and  thy  majesty. 

4  And  in  thy  majesty  ride 
prosperously  because  or  truth 
and  meekness  and  righteous- 
ness; and  thy  right  hand  shall 
teach  thee  terrible  things. 

5'  Thine  arrows  are  sharp  in 
the  heart  of  the  king's  enemies ; 
whereby  the  people  fall  under 
thee. 

6  Thy  throne,  0  God,'  is  for 
ever  and  ever:  the  sceptre  of 
thy  kingdom  is  a  right  sceptre. 

7  Thou  lovest  righteousness, 
and  hatest  wickedness:  there- 
fore God,  thy  God,  hath  anoint- 
ed thee  with  the  oil  of  gladness 
above  thy  fellows. 

8  All  thy  garments  smell  of 
myrrh,  and  aloes,  and  cassia, 
out*  of  the  ivory  palaces,  where- 
by they  have  made  thee  glad.

consider,  and  incline  thine  ear ; 
forget  also  thine  own  people,  and 
thy  father's  house; 

11  So  shall  the  king  greatly

Lord ;  and  worship  thou  him.

though  the  earth  be  removed, 
and  though  the  mountains  be 
carried  into  the  midst  of  the 

ea; 

3  Though  the  waters  thereof 
roar  and  be  troubled,  though 
the  mountains  shake  with  the 
swelling  thereof.    SeTah. 

4  There  is  a  river,  the  streams 
whereof  shall  make  glad  the 
city  of  God,  the  holy  place  of 
the  tabernacles  of  the  most 
High. 

5  God  is  in  the  midst  of  her; 
she  shall  not  be  moved:  God 
shall  help  her,  and  that  right 
early. 

6  The  heathen  raged,  the  king 
doms  were  moved:  he  uttered 
his  voice,  the  earth  melted. 

7  The  Lord  of  hosts  is  with 
us;  the  God  of  Jfi'cob  is  our 
refuge.    SeTah. 

8  Come,  behold  the  works  of 
the  Lord,  what  desolations  he 
hath  made  in  the  earth. 


9  He  maketh  wars  to  cease  War  to  Cease,  ls.2.4. 
unto  the  end  of  the  earth ;  See  Peace  (8).  Is.2.4, 
he  breaketh  the  bow,  and  cut- 
teth  the  spear  in.  sunder;  he 
burneth  the  chariot  in  the  fire. 

10  Be  still,  and  know  that  I 
am  God:  I  will  be  exalted 
among  the  heathen,  I  will  be 
exalted  in  the  earth. 

11  The  Lord  of  hosts  is  with 
us;  the  God  of  Ja'cob  is  our 
refuge.    SeTah.

2  For  the  Lord  most  high  is 
terrible ;  he  is  a  great  King

3  He  shall  subdue  the  people

GREAT  is  the  Lord,  and 
greatly  to  be  praised  in  the 
city  of  our  God,  \n  the  moun- 
tain of  his  holiness. 

2  Beautiful  for  situation,  the 
joy  of  the  whole  earth,  is  mount 
Zi'5n,  on  the  sides  of  the  north, 
the  city  of  the  great  King. 

3  God  is  known  in  her  palaces 
for  a  refuge. 

4  For,  lo,  the  kings  were  as- 
sembled, they  passed  by  to- 
gether. 

5  They  saw  it,  and  so  they 
marvelled;  they  were  troubled,

of  hosts,  in  the  city  of  our  God : 
God  will  establish  it  for  ever. 
Selah. 

9  We  have  thought  of  thy 
lovingkindness,  O  God,  in  the 
midst  of  thy  temple. 

10  According  to  thy  name,  0 
God,  so  is  thy  praise  unto  the

hand  is  full  of  righteousness.

may  tell  it  to  the  generation 
following.

PSALM  49 

The  psalmist  calls  upon  all  the  earth 
to  join  him  in  his  meditations.  14 
Misery  of  the  wicked,  etc. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 
for  the  sons  of  KS'rah. 

HEAR  this,  all  ye  people; 
give  ear,  all  ye  inhabitants 
of  the  world: 

2  Both  low  and  high,  rich  and 
poor,  together. 

3  My  mouth  shall  speak  of 
wisdom ;  and  the  meditation  of 
my  heart  shall  be  of  under- 
standing. 

4  I  wifi  incline  mine  ear  to  a 
parable:  I  will  open  my  dark 
saying  upon  the  harp. 

5  Wherefore  should  I  fear  in 
the  days  of  evil,  when  the  in- 
iquity of  my  heels  shall  com- 
pass me  about? 

6  They  that  trust  in  then- 
wealth,  and  boast  themselves  in 
the  multitude  of  their  riches; 

7  None  of  them  can  by  any 
means  redeem  his  brother,  nor 
give  to  God  a  ransom  for  him : 

8  (For  the  redemption  of  their 
soul  is  precious,  and  it  ceaseth 
forever:) 

9  That  he  should  still  live 
for  ever,  and  not  see  corrup- 
tion. 

10  For  he  seeth  that  wise 
men  die,  likewise  the  fool  and 
the  brutish  person  perish,  and 
leave  their  wealth  to  others. 

11  Their  inward  thought  is, 
that  their  houses  shall  con- 
tinue for  ever,  and  their  dwell- 
ing places  to  all  generations; 


they  call  their  lands  after  their 
own  names. 

12  Nevertheless  man  being  in 
honour  abideth  not:  he  is  like 
the  beasts  that  perish. 

13  This  their  way  is  their 
folly:  yet  their  posterity  ap- 
prove their  sayings.    Selah. 

14  Like  sheep  they  are  laid 
in  the  grave;  death  shall  feed 
on  them;  and  the  upright 
shall  have  dominion  over  them 
in  the  morning;  and  their 
beauty  shall  consume  in  the 
grave  from  their  dwelling. 

15  But  God  will  redeem  my 
soul  from  the  power  of  the 
grave:  for  he  shall  receive 
me.    Selah. 

16  Be  not  thou  afraid  when 
one  is  made  rich,  when  the 
glory  of  his  house  is  in- 
creased; 

17  For  when  he  dieth  he  shall 
carry  nothing  away:  his  glory 
shall  not  descend  after  him. 

18  Though  while  he  lived  he 
blessed  his  soul :  and  men  will 
praise  thee,  when  thou  doest 
well  to  thyself. 

19  He  shall  go  to  the  genera- 
tion of  his  fathers;  they  shall 
never  see  light. 

20  Man  that  is  in  honour, 
and  understandeth  not,  is  like 
the  beasts  that  perish. 

PSALM  50 

Majesty  of  God  in  the  church.  7  The 
pleasure  of  God  is  not  in  ceremo- 
nies, U  but  in  sincerity  of  obe- 
dience. 

A  Psalm  of  A'saph. 

THE  mighty  God,  even  the 
Lord,  hath  spoken,  and 
called  the  earth  from  the  ris- 
ing of  the  sun  unto  the  going 
down  thereof. 

2  Out  of  Zi'5n,  the  perfection 
of  beauty,  God  hath  shined. 

3  Our  God  shall  come,  and 
shall  not  keep  silence:  a  fire 
shall  devour  before  him,  and 
it  shall  be  very  tempestuous 
round  about  him. 

4  He  shall  call  to  the  heavens 
from  above,  and  to  the  earth, 
that  he  may  judge  his  people. 

5  Gather  my  saints  together 
unto  me;  those  that  have  made 
a  covenant  with  me  by  sacri- 
fice. 

6  And  the  heavens  shall  de- 
clare his  righteousness:  for  God 
is  judge  himself.    Selah. 

7  Hear,  O  my  people,  and  I 
will  speak ;  O  lVra-el,  and  I  will 
testify  against  thee :  I  am  God, 
even  thy  God. 

8  I  will  not  reprove  thee  for 
thy  sacrifices    or    thy    burnt

offerings,  to  have  been  con- 
tinually before  me. 

9  I  will  take  no  bollock  out  of 
thy  house,  nor  he  goats  out  of 
thy  folds. 

10  For  every  beast  of  the  for- 
est is  mine,  and  the  cattle  upon 
a  thousand  hills. 

11  I  know  all  the  fowls  of  the 
mountains :  and  the  wild  beasts 
of  the  field  are  mine. 

12  If  I  were  hungry,  I  would 
not  tell  thee:  for  die  world  is 
mine,  and  the  fulness  thereof. 

13  Will  I  eat  the  flesh  of  bulls, 
or  drink  the  blood  of  goats  ? 

14  Offer  onto  God  thanksgiv- 
ing; and  pay  thy  vows  unto 
the  most  High: 

15  And  call  upon  me  in  the 
day  of  trouble:  I  will  deliver 
thee,  and  thou  shaft  glorify  me. 

16  But  unto  the  wicked  God 
saith,  What  hast  thou  to  do  to 
declare  my  statutes,  or  that 
thou  shouldest  take  my  cove- 
nant in  thy  mouth? 

17  Seeing  thou  hatest  instruc- 
tion, and  castest  my  words  be- 
hind thee. 

18  When  thou  sawest  a  thief, 
then  thou  consentedst  with 
him,  and  hast  been  partaker 
with  adulterers. 

19  Thou  givest  thy  mouth  to 
evil,  and  thy  tongue  frameth 
deceit 

20  Thou  aittest  and  speakest 
against  thy  brother;  thou  slan- 
derest  thine  own  mother's  son. 

21  These  things  hast  thou 
done,  and  I  kept  silence;  thou 
thoughtest  that  I  was  altogether 
such  an  one  as  thyself :  but  I 
will  reprove  thee,  and  set  them 
in  order  before  thine  eyes. 

22  Now  consider  this,  ye  that 
forget  God,  lest  I  tear  you  in 
pieces,  and  there  be  none  to  de- 
liver. 

23  Whoso  off ereth  praise  glori- 
fieth  me :  and  to  him  that  order- 
eth  his  conversation  aright  will 
I  shew  the  salvation  of  God. 


PSALM  51 

David  prays  for  remission  of  sins, 

and  for  sanct\ficationt  etc. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 
of  Dfi'vid,  when  Na'than  the 
prophet  came  unto  him,  after 
he  had  gone  in  to  Bfith'- 
sh&-ba. 

HAVE  mercy  upon  me,  0 
God,  according  to  thy  lov- 
ingkindness :  according  unto 
the  multitude  of  thy  tender 
mercies  blot  out  my  transgres- 
sions. 

2  Wash  me  throughly  from 
mine  iniquity,  and  cleanse  me 
from  my  sin. 

563 


3  For  I  acknowledge  my  trans- 
gressions: and  my  sin  is  ever 
before  me. 

4  Against  thee,  thee  only, 
have  I  sinned,  and  done  this 
evil  in  thy  sight:  that  thou 
mightest  be  justified  when  thou 
speakest,  and  be  clear  when 
thou  judgest 

5  Behold,  I  was  shapen  in 
iniquity;  and  in  sin  aid  my 
mother  conceive  me. 

6  Behold,  thou  desirest  truth 
in  the  inward  parts :  and  in  the 
hidden  part  thou  shalt  make 
me  to  know  wisdom. 

7  Purge  me  with  hyssop,  and 
I  shall  be  clean :  wash  me,  and 
I  shall  be  whiter  than  snow. 

8  Make  me  to  hear  joy  and 
gladness;  that  the  bones  which 
thou  hast  broken  may  rejoice. 

9  Hide  thy  face  from  my  sins, 
and  blot  out  all  mine  iniquities. 

10  Create  in  me  a  clean  heart, 
OGod;  and  renew  a  right  spirit 
within  me. 

11  Cast  me  not  away  from  thy 
presence ;  and  take  not  thy  holy 
spirit  from  me. 

12  Restore  unto  me  the  joy 
of  thy  salvation;  and  uphold 
me  with  thy  free  spirit 

13  Then  will  I  teach  trans- 
gressors thy  ways ;  and  sinners 
shall  be  converted  unto  thee. 

14  Deliver  me  from  bloodguilt- 
iness,  O  God,  thou  God  of  mj 
salvation:  and  my  tongue  shall 
sing  aloud  of  thy  righteousness. 

15  O  Lord,  open  thou  my  lips ; 
and  my  mouth  shall  shew  forth 
thy  praise. 

16  For  thou  desirest  not  sacri- 
fice ;  else  would  I  give  it :  thou 
delightest  not  in  burnt  offering. 

17  The  sacrifices  of  God  are 
a  broken  spirit :  a  broken  and  a 
contrite  heart,  O  God,  thou  wilt 
not  despise. 

18  Do  good  in  thy  good  pleas- 
ure unto  Zi'Sn :  build  thou  the 
walls  of  Jt-ru'sn-lem. 

19  Then  shalt  thou  be  pleased 
with  the  sacrifices  of  righteous-

man  ?  the  goodness  of  God  en- 
dureth  continually. 

2  Thy  tongue  deviseth  mis- 
chiefs; like  a  sharp  razor,  work- 
ing deceitfully. 

3  Thou  lovest  evil  more  than 
good ;  and  lying  rather  than  to 
speak  righteousness.    SSlah. 

4  Thou  lovest  all  devouring 
words,  0  thou  deceitful  tongue. 

5  God  shall  likewise  destroy 
thee  for  ever,  he  shall  take  thee 
away,  and  pluck  thee  out  of 
thy  dwelling  place,  and  root 
thee  out  of  the  land  of  the  liv- 
ing.   STlah. 

6  The  righteous  also  shall  see, 
and  fear, and  shall  laugh  at  him: 

7  Lo,  this  is  the  man  that 
made  not  God  his  strength;  but 
trusted  in  the  abundance  of  his 
riches,  and  strengthened  him- 
self in  his  wickedness. 

8  But  I  am  like  a  green  olive 
tree  in  the  house  of  God:  I  trust 
in  the  mercy  of  God  for  ever 
and  ever. 

9  I  will  praise  thee  for  ever, 
because  thou  hast  done  it :  and 
I  will  wait  on  thy  name;  for  it 
is  good  before  thy  saints. 

PSALM  53 

The  general  depravity  of  mankind. 

To  the  chief  Musician  upon 
Mrha-lath,MaVchIlf  A  Psalm 
of  D&'vid. 

THE  fool  hath  said  in  his 
heart,  There  is  no  God. 
Corrupt  are  thev,  and  have  done 
abominable  iniquity:  there  is 
none  that  doeth  good. 

2  God  looked  down  from  heav- 
en upon  the  children  of  men,  to 
see  if  there  were  any  that  did 
understand,  that  did  seek  God. 

3  Every  one  of  them  is  gone 
back:  they  are  altogether  be- 
come filthy ;  there  is  none  that 
doeth  good,  no,  not  one. 

4  Have  the  workers  of  iniquity 
no  knowledge?  who  eat  up  my 

Seople  as  they  eat  bread :  they 
ave  not  called  upon  God. 

5  There  were  they  in  great 
fear,  where  no  fear  was:  for 
God  hath  scattered  the  bones  of 
him  that  encampeth  against 
thee:  thou  hastjput  them  to 
shame,  because  God  hath  de- 
spised them. 

6  Oh  that  the  salvation  of  Is.'- 
ra-el  were  come  out  of  Zi'5n! 
When  God  bringeth  back  the 
captivity  of  his  people,  JS'cob 
shall  rejoice,  ana  Is  ra-el  shall 
be  glad. 

PSALM  54 
David  complain*  of  the  Ziphime. 
To  the  chief  Musician  on  NKK- 
I-nSth,  Mfis'chll,  A  Psalm  of 


Dfi'vid,  when  the  Zlph'ims 
came  and  said  to  Saul,  Doth 
not  Dfi'vid  hide  himself  with 
us? 

SAVE   me,  0   God,  bv  thy 
name,  and  judge  me  oy  thy 
strength. 

2  Hear  my  prayer,  0  God ;  give 
ear  to  the  words  of  my  mouth. 

3  For  strangers  are  risen  up 
against  me,  and  oppressors  seek 
alter  my  soul:  they  have  not 
set  God  before  them.    SGlah. 

4  Behold,  God  is  mine  helper 
the  Lord  is  with  them  that  up- 
hold my  souL 

5  He  shall  reward  evil  unto 
mine  enemies:  cut  them  off  in 
thy  truth. 

6  I  will  freely  sacrifice  unto 
thee :  I  will  praise  thy  name,  O 
Lord;  for  it  is  good. 

7  For  he  hath  delivered  me 
out  of  all  trouble :  and  mine  eye 
hath  seen  his  desire  upon  mine 
enemies. 

PSALM  55 

David  complaine  of  his  fearful  came. 

To  the  chief  Musician  on  Nef - 

1-ndth,  Mfis'chll,  A  Psalm  of 

DTvid. 

GIVE  ear  to  my  prayer,  0 
God;  and  hide  not  thyself 
from  my  supplication. 

2  Attend  unto  me,  and  hear 
me:  I  mourn  in  my  complaint, 
and  make  a  noise ; 

3  Because  of  the  voice  of  the 
enemy,  because  of  the  oppres- 
sion of  the  wicked:  for  they 
cast  iniquity  upon  me,  and  in 
wrath  they  hate  me. 

4  My  heart  is  sore  pained  with- 
in me :  and  the  terrors  of  death 
are  fallen  upon  me. 

5  Fearfulness  and  trembling 
are  come  upon  me,  and  horror 
hath  overwhelmed  me. 

6  And  I  said,  Oh  that  I  had 
wines  like  a  dove!  for  then 
would  I  fly  away,  and  be  at  rest 

7  Lo,  then  would  I  wander  far 
off,  and  remain  in  the  wilder- 
ness.   SeTah. 

8  I  would  hasten  my  escape 
from  the  windy  storm  and  tem- 
pest 

9  Destroy,  O  Lord,  and  divide 
their  tongues:  for  I  have  seen 
violence  and  strife  in  the  city. 

10  Day  and  night  they  go 
about  it  upon  the  walls  thereof : 
mischief  also  and  sorrow  are  in 
the  midst  of  it 

11  Wickedness  is  in  the  midst 
thereof:  deceit  and  guile  de- 
part not  from  her  streets. 

12  For  it  was  not  an  enemy 
that  reproached  me;  then  I 
could  have  borne  it:  neither 
was  it  he  that  hated  me  that

did  magnify  himself  against 
me;  then  I  would  have  hid  my- 
self from  him : 

13  But  it  was  thou,  a  man 
mine  equal,  my  guide,  and  mine 
acquaintance. 

14  We  took  sweet  counsel  to- 
gether, and  walked  unto  the 
house  of  God  in  company. 

15  Let  death  seize  upon  them, 
and  let  them  go  down  quick 
into  hell :  for  wickedness  %s  in 
their  dwellings,  and  among 
them. 

16  As  for  me,  I  will  call  upon 
God ;  and  the  Lord  shall  save 
me. 

17  Evening,  and  morning,  and 
at  noon,  will  I  pray,  and  cry 
aloud:  and  he  shall  hear  my 
voice. 

18  He  hath  delivered  my  soul 
in  peace  from  the  battle  that 
was  against  me :  for  there  were 
many  with  me. 

19  God  shall  hear,  and  afflict 
them,  even  he  that  abideth  of 
old.  Selah,  Because  they  have 
no  changes,  therefore  they  fear 
not  God. 

20  He  hath  put  forth  his  hands 
against  such  as  be  at  peace  with 
him :  he  hath  broken  his  cove- 
nant 

21  The  words  of  his  mouth 
were  smoother  than  butter,  but 
war  was  in  his  heart:  his  words 
were  softer  than  oil,  yet  were 
they  drawn  swords. 

22  Cast  thy  burden  upon  the 
Lord,  and  he  shall  sustain  thee : 
he  shall  never  suffer  the  right- 
eous to  be  moved. 

23  But  thou,  O  God,  shalt 
bring  them  down  into  the  pit 
of  destruction :  bloody  and  de- 
ceitful men  shall  not  live  out 
half  their  days;  but  I  will  trust 
in  thee. 

PSALM  56 

David  complain*  of  his  enemies. 
To  the  chief  Musician  up- 
on JS'nath-e^em-r&chS'kim, 
MIch'tam  of  D&'vid,  when 
the  Phi-lis'tlnes  took  him  in 
Gath. 

BE  merciful  unto  me,  O  God : 
for  man  would  swallow  me 
up;  he  fighting  daily  oppress- 
eth  me. 

2  Mine  enemies  would  daily 
swallow  me  up:  for  they  be 
many  that  fight  against  me,  O 
thou  most  High. 

3  What  time  I  am  afraid,  I  will 
trust  in  thee. 

4  In  God  I  will  praise  his  word, 
in  God  I  have  put  my  trust ;  I 
will  not  fear  what  flesh  can  do 
unto  me. 

5  Every  day  they  wrest  my 


words:  all  their  thoughts  are 
against  me  for  evil 

6  They  gather  themselves  to- 
gether, they  hide  themselves, 
tney  mark  my  steps,  when  they 
wait  for  mv  soul. 

7  Shall  they  escape  by  iniq- 
uity ?  in  thine  anger  cast  down 
the  people,  O  God. 

8  Thou  tellest  my  wanderings: 
put  thou  my  tears  into  thy  bot- 
tle: are  they  not  in  thy  book? 

9  When  I  cry  unto  thee,  then 
shall  mine  enemies  turn  back: 
this  I  know;  for  God  ia  for  me. 

10  In  God  will  I  praise  his 
word :  in  the  Lord  will  I  praise 
his  word. 

11  In  God  have  I  put  my  trust : 
I  will  not  be  afraid  what  man 
can  do  unto  me. 

12  Thy  vows  are  upon  me,  O 
God :  I  will  render  praises  unto 
thee. 

13  For  thou  hast  delivered  my 
soul  from  death :  wilt  not  thou 
deliver  my  feet  from  falling, 
that  I  may  walk  before  God  in 
the  light  of  the  living? 

PSALM  57 
David  complains  of  his  dangerous 


To  the  chief  Musician,  Al- 
tas'chith,  MIch'tam  of  Da'vid, 
when  he  fled  from  Saul  in  the 
cave. 

BE  merciful  unto  me,  O  God, 
be  merciful  unto  me:  for 
my  soul  trusteth  in  thee:  yea, 
in  the  shadow  of  thy  wings  will 
I  make  my  refuge,  until  these 
calamities  be  overpast 

2  I  will  cry  unto  God  most 
high;  unto  God  that  perform- 
eth  all  things  for  me. 

3  He  shall  send  from  heaven, 
and  save  me  from  the  reproach 
of  him  that  would  swallow  me 
up.  Selah.  God  shall  send 
forth  his  mercy  and  his  truth. 

4  My  soul  is  among  lions: 
and  I  lie  even  among  them 
that  are  set  on  fire,  even  the 
sons  of  men,  whose  teeth  are 
spears  and  arrows,  and  their 
tongue  a  sharp  sword. 

5  Be  thou  exalted,  O  God, 
above  the  heavens;  let  thy 
glory  be  above  all  the  earth. 

6  They  have  prepared  a  net 
for  my  steps ;  my  soul  is  bowed 
down :  they  have  digged  a  pit 
before  me,  into  the  midst  where- 
of they  are  fallen  themselves. 
Selah. 

7  My  heart  is  fixed,  0  God, 
my  heart  is  fixed:  I  will  sing 
and  give  praise. 

8  Awake  up,  my  glory;  awake, 
psaltery  and  harp :  I  myself  will 
awake  early.

9  I  will  praise  thee,  0  Lord, 
among  the  people:  I  will  sing 
unto  thee  among  the  nations. 

10  For  thy  mercy  is  great  un 
to  the  heavens,  and  thy  truth 
unto  the  clouds. 

11  Be  thou  exalted,  O  God, 
above  the  heavens:  let  thy 
glory  be  above  all  the  earth. 

PSALM  58 
David  describes  the  nature  of  the 

wicked. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  Al-tas'- 

chith,  MIch'tam  of  Da'vid. 

DO  ye  indeed  speak  right- 
eousness, 0  congregation  ? 
do  ye  judge  uprightly,  0  ye  sons 
of  men  ? 

2  Yea,  in  heart  ye  work  wick- 
edness; ye  weigh  the  violence 
of  your  hands  in  the  earth. 

3  The  wicked  are  estranged 
from  the  womb :  they  go  astray 
as  soon  as  they  be  born,  speak- 
ing lies. 

4  Their  poison  is  like  the  poi- 
son of  a  serpent:  they  are  like 
the  deaf  adder  that  stoppeth  her 
ear; 

5  Which  will  not  hearken  to 
the  voice  of  charmers,  charm- 
ing never  so  wisely. 

6  Break  their  teeth,  0  God,  in 
their  mouth :  break  outt he  great 
teeth  of  theyoung  lions,  0  Lord. 

7  Let  them  melt  away  as 
waters  which  run  continually : 
when  he  bendeth  his  bow  to 
shoot  his  arrows,  let  them  be  as 
cut  in  pieces. 

8  As  a  snail  which  melteth,  let 
every  one  of  them  pass  away : 
like  the  untimely  birth  of  a 
woman,  that  they  may  not  see 
the  sun. 

9  Before  your  pots  can  feel 
the  thorns,  he  shall  take  them 
away  as  with  a  whirlwind,  both 
living,  and  in  his  wrath. 

10  The  righteous  shall  rejoice 
when  he  seeth  the  vengeance : 
he  shall  wash  his  feet  in  the 
blood  of  the  wicked. 

11  So  that  a  man  shall  say, 
Verily  there  is  a  reward  for  the 
righteous:  verjly  he  is  a  God 
that  judgeth  in  the  earth. 

PSALM  59 
David  prays  to  be  delivered  from  his 

enemies. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  Al-tas'- 

chith,  Mich'tam   of  Da'vid; 

when    Saul    sent,  and  they 

watched  the  house  to  kill  him. 

DELIVER  me  from  mine 
enemies,  O  my  God:  de- 
fend me  from  them  that  rise 
up  against  me. 
2  Deliver  me  from  the  workers 
of  iniquity,  and  save  me  from 
bloody  men. 


3  For,  lo,  they  lie  in  wait  for 
my  soul :  the  mighty  are  gath- 
ered against  me;  not  for  my 
transgression,  nor  for  my  sin, 
OLord. 

4  They  run  and  prepare  them- 
selves without  my  fault :  awake 
to  help  me,  and  behold. 

5  Thou  therefore,  O  Lord 
God  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Ig'ra- 
el,  awake  to  visit  all  the  hea- 
then: be  not  merciful  to  any 
wicked  transgressors.    Selah. 

6  They  return  at  evening: 
they  make  a  noise  like  a  dog, 
and  go  round  about  the  city. 

7  Behold,  they  belch  out  with 
their  mouth:  swords  are  in  their 
lips:  for  who,  say  they,  doth 
hear? 

8  But  thou,  O  Lord,  shalt 
laugh  at  them;  thou  shalt 
have  all  the  heathen  in  deri- 
sion. 

9  Because  of  his  strength  will 
I  wait  upon  thee:  for  God  is  my 
defence. 

10  The  God  of  my  merer  shall 
prevent  me:  God  shall  let  me 
see  my  desire  upon  mine  ene- 
mies. 

11  Slay  them  not,  lest  my  peo- 
ple forget :  scatter  them  by  thy 
power ;  and  bring  them  down,  0 
Lord  our  shield. 

12  For  the  sin  of  their  mouth 
and  the  words  of  their  lips  let 
them  even  be  taken  in  their 
pride:  and  for  cursing  and  ly- 
ing which  they  speak. 

13  Consume  them  in  wrath, 
consume  them,  that  they  may 
not  be  :  and  let  them  know  that 
God  ruleth  in  J&'cob  unto  the 
ends  of  the  earth.    Selah. 

14  And  at  evening  let  them  re- 
turn ;  and  let  them  make  a  noise 
like  a  dog,  and  go  round  about 
the  city. 

15  Let  them  wander  up  and 
down  for  meat,  and  grudge  if 
they  be  not  satisfied. 

16  But  I  will  sing  of  thy  pow- 
er ;  yea,  I  will  sing  aloud  of  thy 
mercy  in  the  morning :  for  thou 
hast  been  my  defence  and  ref- 
uge in  the  day  of  my  trouble. 

17  Unto  thee,  O  my  strength, 
will  I  sin jr :  for  God  is  my  de- 
fence, ana  the  God  of  my  mercy. 

PSALM  60 

David  prays  for  deliverance,  com- 
forting himself  in  God'spromises. 

To  the  chief  Musician  upon 
Shu'shan-e'duth,  Mich'tam

strove  with  A'ram-na-ha-ra'-

David  jUes  to  God ;  4  he  vovn  per- 
petual service  unto  Atm, 

To   the   chief    Musician    upon 
Negl-nah,  ^4  Psalm  of  Da'vid. 

HEAR  my  cry,  0  God ;  attend 
unto  my  prayer, 

2  Frum  the  end  of  the  earth 
will  I  cry  unto  thee,  when  my 
heart  is  overwhelmed  :  lead  me 
to  the  rock  that  is  higher  than  I, 

3  For  thou  hast  been  a  shelter 
for  me,  and  a  strong  tower  from 
the  enemy. 

4  I  will  abide  in  thy  tabernacle 
for  ever:  I  will  trust  in  the 
covert  of  thy   wings.   Se'lah, 

5  For  thou,  0  God,  hast  heard 


8  Trust  in  him  at  all  times: 
ye  people,  pour  out  your  heart 
before  him :  God  is  a  refuge  for 
us,     Se'lah, 

9  Surely  men  of  low  degree 
are  vanity,  and  men  of  high 
degree  are  a  lie:  to  be  laid  in 
the  balance,  they  are  altogether 
lighter  than  vanity, 

10  Trust  not  in  oppression, 
and  become  not  vain  in  robbery : 
if  riches  increase,  set  not  your 
heart  upon  them. 

11  God  hath  spoken  once; 
twice  have  1  heard  this ;  that 
power  bekmgetk  unto  God,

4  Thus  will  i  bless  thee  while 
I  live :  I  will  lift  up  my  hands 
in  thy  name. 

5  My  soul  shall  be  satisfied 
as  with  marrow  and  fatness; 
and  my  mouth  shall  praise  thee 
with  joyful  lips : 

6  When  I  remember  thee  upon 
my  bed,  and  meditate  on  thee 
in  the  night  watches. 

7  Because  thou  hast  been  my 
help,  therefore  in  the  shadow 
of  thy  wings  will  I  rejoice. 

8  My  soul  f olloweth  hard  after 
thee:  thy  right  hand  uphokleth 
me. 

9  But  those  that  seek  my  soul, 
to  destroy  it,  shall  go  into  the 
lower  parts  of  the  earth. 

10  They  shall  fall  by  the 
sword:  they  shall  be  a  portion 
for  foxes. 

11  But  the  king  shall  rejoice 
in  God;  every  one  that  swear- 
eth  by  him  shall  glory :  but  the 
mouth  of  them  that  speak  lies 
shall  be  stopped. 

PSALM  64 
David  prays  for  deliverance  from 

hie  enemies. 
To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 

of  DTvid. 

HEAR  my  voice,  O  God,  in 
my  prayer:  preserve  my 
life  from  fear  of  the  enemy. 

2  Hide  me  from  the  secret 
counsel1  of  the  wicked;  from 
the  insurrection  of  the  workers 
of  iniquity: 

3  Who  whet  their  tongue  like 
a  sword,  and  bend  their  bows 
to  shoot  their  arrows,  even  bit- 
ter words : 

4  That  they  may  shoot  in 
secret  at  the  perfect:  suddenly 
do  they  shoot  at  him,  and  fear 
not 

5  They  encourage  themselves 
in  an  evil  matter:  they  com- 
mune of  laying  snares  privily; 
they  say,  Who  shall  see  them  ? 

6  They  search  out  iniqui- 
ties; they  accomplish  a  dili- 
gent search:  both  the  inward 
thought  of  every  one  of  them, 
and  the  heart,  is  deep. 

7  But  God  shall  shoot  at  them 
with  an  arrow ;  suddenly  shall 
they  be  wounded. 

8  So  they  shall  make  their 
own  tongue  to  fall  upon  them- 
selves: all  that  see  them  shall 
flee  away. 

9  And  all  men  shall  fear,  and 
shall  declare  the  work  of  God ; 
for  they  shall  wisely  consider 
of  his  doing. 

10  The  righteous  shall  be 
glad  in  the  Lord,  and  shall 
trust  in  him;  and  all  the  up- 
right in  heart  shall  glory. 


PSALM  65 

Infinite  power  and  goodness  of  God. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 

and  Song  of  Da'vid. 

FLAISE  waketh  for  thee,  0 
God,  in  Si'dn :  and  unto  thee 
shall  the  vow  be  performed. 

2  0  thou  that  nearest  prayer, 
unto  thee  shall  all  flesh  come. 

3  Iniquities  prevail  against 
me :  as  for  our  transgressions, 
thou  shalt  purge  them  away. 

4  Blessed  is  the  man  whom 
thou  choosest,  and  earnest  to 
approach  unto  thee,  that  he 
may  dwell  in  thy  courts:  we 
shall  be  satisfied  with  the  good- 
ness of  thy  house,  even  of  thy 
holy  temple. 

5  By  terrible  things  in  right- 
eousness wilt  thou  answer  us, 
O  God  of  our  salvation;  who 
art  the  confidence  of  all  the 
ends  of  the  earth,  and  of  them 
that  are  afar  off  upon  the  sea 

6  Which  by  his  strength  set- 
teth  fast  the  mountains;  being 
girded  with  power: 

7  Which  stilleth  the  noise  of 
the  seas,  the  noise  of  their 
waves,  and  the  tumult  of  the 
people. 

8  They  also  that  dwell  in  the 
uttermost  parts  are  afraid  at  thy 
tokens:  thou makest  the  outgo- 
ings of  the  morning  and  even- 
ing to  rejoice. 

9  Thou  visitest  the  earth, 
and  waterest  it:  thou  greatly 
enrichest  it  with  the  river  of 
God,  which  is  full  of  water: 
thou  preparest  them  corn,  when 
thou  hast  so  provided  for  it 

10  Thou  waterest  the  ridges 
thereof  abundantly:  thou  set- 
tlest  the  furrows  thereof:  thou 
makest  it  soft  with  showers: 
thou  blessest  the  springing 
thereof. 

11  Thou  crownest  the  year 
with  thy  goodness;  and  thy 
paths  drop  fatness. 

12  They  drop  uvon  the  pas- 
tures of  the  wilderness:  and 
the  little  hills  rejoice  on  every 
side. 

13  The  pastures  are  clothed 
with  flocks ;  the  valleys  also  are 
covered  over  with  corn;  they 
shout  for  joy,  they  also  sing. 

PSALM  66 

David  exhorts  to  praise  God,  5  to  ob-

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Song

MAKE  a  joyful  noise  unto 
God,  all  ye  lands: 

2  Sing  forth  the  honour  of  his 
name:  make  his  praise  glorious.

art  thou  in  thy  works!  through 
the  greatness  of  thy  power  shall 
thine  enemies  submit  them* 
selves  unto  thee. 

4  All  the  earth  shall  worship 
thee,  and  shall  sing  unto  thee ; 
they  shall  sing  to  thy  name. 

5  Come  and  see  the  works  of 
God:  he  is  terrible  in  At*  doing 
toward  the  children  of  men. 

6  He  turned  the  sea  into  dry 
land:  they  went  through  the 
flood  on  foot :  there  did  we  re- 
joice in  him. 

7  He  ruleth  by  his  power  for 
ever;  his  eyes  behold  the  na- 
tions: let  not  the  rebellious 
exalt  themselves.    Stlah. 

8  O  bless  our  God,  ye  people, 
and  make  the  voice  of  his  praise 
to  be  heard: 

9  Which  holdeth  our  soul  in 
life,  and  suffereth  not  our  feet 
to  be  moved. 

10  For  thou,OGod,  hast  proved 
us :  thou  hast  tried  us,  as  silver 
is  tried. 

11  Thou  broughtest  us  into 
the  net;  thou  Taidst  affliction 
upon  our  loins. 

12  Thou  hast  caused  men  to 
ride  over  our  heads;  we  went 
through  fire  and  through  wa- 
ter :  but  thou  broughtest  us  out 
into  a  wealthy  place. 

13  I  will  go  into  thy  house 
with  burnt  offerings :  I  will  pay 
thee  my  vows, 

14  Which  my  lips  have  ut- 
tered, and  my  mouth  hath  spo- 
ken, when  I  was  in  trouble. 

15  I  will  offer  unto  thee  burnt 
sacrifices  of  fallings,  with  the 
incense  of  rams;  I  will  offer 
bullocks  with  goats.    Se*lah. 

16  Come  ana  hear,  all  ye  that 
fear  God,  and  I  will  declare  what 
he  hath  done  for  my  souL 

17  I  cried  unto  him  with  my 
mouth,  and  he  was  extolled  with 
my  tongue. 

18  If  I  regard  iniquity  in  my 
heart,  the  Lard  will  not  hear 
me: 

19  But  verily  God  hath  heard 
me  ;  he  hath  attended  to  the 
voice  of  my  prayer. 

20  Blessed  be  God,  which  hath 
not  turned  away  my  prayer,  nor 
his  mercy  from  me. 

PSALM  67 


for  ths  enlargement  of 
tod's  kingdom* 

To  the  chief  Musician  on  Negl- 
n5th,  A  Psalm  or  Song.  . 

GOD  be  merciful  unto  us,  and 
bless  us ;  and  cause  his  face 
to  shine  upon  us ;  Seflah. 
2  That  thy  way  may  be  known 


upon  earth,  thy  saving  health 
among  all  nations. 

3  Let  the  people  praise  thee, 
0  God ;  let  all  the  people  praise 
thee. 

4  0  let  the  nations  be  glad 
and  sing  for  joy :  for  thoushalt 
judge  the  people  righteously, 
and  govern  the  nations  upon 
earth.    Selafe. 

5  Let  the  people  praise  thee, 
0  God ;  let  all  the  people  praise 
thee. 

6  Then  shall  the  earth  yield 
her  increase;  and  God,  even 
our  own  God,  shall  bless  us. 

7  God  shall  bless  us;  and  all 
the  ends  of  the  earth  shall  fear 
him. 

PSALM  68 

A  prayer  at  the  removing  of  the  ark. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 

or  Song  of  Da>id. 

LET  God  arise,  let  his  ene- 
mies be  scattered:  let  them 
also  that  hate  him  flee  before 
him. 

2  As  smoke  is  driven  away,  so 
drive  them  away:  as  wax  melt- 
eth  before  the  fire,  eo  let  the 
wicked  perish  at  the  presence 
of  God. 

3  But  let  the  righteousbe  glad; 
let  them  rejoice  before  God 
yea,  let  them  exceedingly  re- 
joice. 

4  Sing  unto  God,  sing  praises 
to  his  name:  extol  him  that 
rideth  upon  the  heavens  by  his 
name  JAH,  and  rejoice  before 
him. 

5  A  father  of  the  fatherless, 
and  a  judge  of  the  widows,  is 
God  in  his  holy  habitation. 

6  God  setteth  the  solitary  in 
families:  he  bringeth  out  those 
which  are  bound  with  chains: 
but  the  rebellious  dwell  in  a 
dryland.* 

7  O  God,  when  thou  wentest 
forth  before  thy  people,  when 
thou  didst  march  through  the 
wilderness;  Selah: 

8  The  earth  shook,  the  heav- 
ens also  dropped  at  the  presence 
of  God:  even  Sfnfii  itself  was 
moved  at  the  presence  of  God, 
the  God  of  Is/ra-el. 

9  Thou,  O  God,  didst  send  a 
plentiful  rain,  whereby  thou 
didst  confirm  thine  inheritance, 
when  it  was  weary. 

10  Thy  congregation  hath 
dwelt  therein:  thou,  0  God, 
hast  prepared  of  thy  goodness 
for  the  poor. 

11  The  Lord  gave  the  word 
great  voas  the  company  of  those 
that  published  tt.

apace:  and  she  that  tarried  at 
home  divided  the  spoil. 

13  Though  ye  have  lien  among 
the  pots,  yet  shall  ye  be  as  the 
wings  of  a  dove  covered  with 
silver,  and  her  feathers  with  yel- 
low gold. 

14  When  the  Almighty  scat- 
tered kings  in  it,  it  was  white 
as  snow  in  SaTmdn. 

15  The  hill  of  God  is  as  the 
hill  of  Ba'shftn ;  an  high  hill  as 
the  hill  of  Ba'shan. 

16  Why  leap  ye,  ye  high  hills  ? 
this  is  the  hill  which  God  de> 
sireth  to  dwell  in ;  yea,  the  Lord 
will  dwell  in  it  for  ever. 

17  The  chariots  of  God  are 
twenty  thousand,  even  thou- 
sands of  angels:  the  Lord  is 
among  them,  as  in  Si'nfii,  in 
the  holy  place. 

18  Thou  hast  ascended  on 
high,  thou  hast  led  captivity 
captive:  thou  hast  received 
gifts  for  men ;  yea,  for  the  re- 
bellious also,  that  the  Lord  God 
might  dwell  among  them. 

19  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  who 
daily  loadeth  us  with  benefits, 
even  the  God  of  our  salvation. 
Selah. 

20  He  that  is  our  God  is  the 
God  of  salvation ;  and  unto  God 
the  Lord  belong  the  issues  from 
death. 

21  But  God  shall  wound  the 
head  of  his  enemies,  and  the 
hairy  scalp  of  such  an  one  as 
goeth  on  still  in  his  trespasses. 

22  The  Lord  said,  I  will  bring 
again  from  Ba'shan,  I  will  bring 
my  people  again  from  the 
depths  of  the  sea: 

23  That  thy  foot  may  be 
dipped  in  the  blood  of  thine 
enemies,  and  the  tongue  of  thy 
dogs  in  the  same. 

24  They  have  seen  thy  go- 
ings, 0  God;  even  the  goings 
of  my  God,  my  King,  in  the 
sanctuary. 

25  The  singers  went  before,  the 
players  on  instruments  followed 
after;  amonjj  them  were  the 
damsels  playing  with  timbrels. 

26  Bless  ye  God  in  the  con- 
gregations, even  the  Lord,  from 
the  fountain  of  Is/ra-el. 

27  There  is  little  Ben'ja-mln 
with  their  ruler,  the  princes  of 
Jfi'dah  and  their  council,  the 
princes  of  ZeVu-lfin,  and  the 
princes  of  N&ph'ta-li. 

28  Thy  God  hath  commanded 
thy  strength:  strengthen,  O 
God,  that  which  thou  hast 
wrought  for  us. 

29  Because  of  thy  temple  at 
JS-ru'sa-lem  shall  kings  bring 
presents  unto  thee. 


30  Rebuke  the  company  of 
spearmen,  the  multitude  of  the 
bulls,  with  the  calves  of  the 
people,  till  every  one  submit 
himself  with  pieces  of  silver 
scatter  thou  the  people  that  de- 
light in  war. 

31  Princes  shall  come  out  of 
B'gypt;  E-thWpI-a  shall  soon 
stretch  out  her  hands  unto  God. 

32  Sing  unto  God,  ye  king- 
doms of  the  earth;  O  sing 
praises  unto  the  Lord;  Selah: 

33  To  him  that  rideth  upon 
the  heavens  of  heavens,  which 
were  of  old;  lo,  he  doth  send 
out  his  voice,  and  that  a  mighty 
voice. 

34  Ascribe  ye  strength  unto 
God :  his  excellency  is  over  Is/- 
ra-el,  and  his  strength  is  in  the 
clouds. 

35  O  God,  thou  art  terrible 
out  of  thy  holy  places:  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el  is  he  that  giveth 
strength  and  power  unto  his 
people.    Blessed  be  God. 

PSALM  69 

David  pray*  in  affliction; 
God. 


30   he 


To  the  chief  Musician  upon 
ShS-shan'nim,  A  Psalm  of 
Dft'vid. 

SAVE  me,  0  God;  for  the 
waters  are  come  in  unto 
my  soul. 

2  I  sink  in  deep  mire*  where 
there  is  no  standing:  I  i 
come  into  deep  waters,  where 
the  floods  overflow  me. 

3  I  am  weary  of  my  crying 
my  throat  is  dried:  mine  eves 
fail  while  I  wait  for  my  God. 

4  They  that  hate  me  without 
a  cause  are  more  than  the  hairs 
of  mine  head:  they  that  would 
destroy  me,  being  mine  enemies 
wrongfully,  are  mighty :  then  I 
restored  that  which  I  took  not 
away. 

5  0  God,  thou  knowest  my 
foolishness;  and  my  sins  are 
not  hid  from  thee. 

6  Let  not  them  that  wait  on 
thee,  0  Lord  God  of  hosts,  be 
ashamed  for  my  sake:  let  not 
those  that  seek  thee  be  con- 
founded for  my  sake,  O  God  of 
Is/ra-eL 

7  Because  for  thy  sake  I  have 
borne  reproach;  shame  hath 
covered  my  face. 

8  I  am  become  a  stranger 
unto  my  brethren,  and  an  alien 
unto  my  mother's  children. 

9  For  the  zeal  of  thine  house 
hath  eaten  me  up;  and  the 
reproaches  of  them  that  re- 
proached thee  are  fallen  upon 
me.

10  When  I  wept,  and  chas- 
tened my  soul  with  fasting, 
that  was  to  my  reproach. 

11  I  made  sackcloth  also  my 
garment;  and  I  became  a  prov- 
erb to  them. 

12  They  that  sit  in  the  gate 
speak  against  me;  and  I  was 
the  song  of  the  drunkards. 

13  But  as  for  me,  my  prayer 
is  unto  thee,  0  Lord,  \n  an  ac- 
ceptable time:  0  God,  in  the 
multitude  of  thy  mercy  hear 
me,  in  the  truth  of  thy  salva- 
tion. 

14  Deliver  me  out  of  the  mire, 
and  let  me  not  sink :  let  me  be 
delivered  from  them  that  hate 
me,  and  out  of  the  deep  waters. 

15  Let  not  the  waterflood 
overflow  me,  neither  let  the 
deep  swallow  me  up,  and  let 
not  the  pit  shut  her  mouth 
upon  me, 

16  Hear  me,  0  Lord;  for  thy 
lovingldndness  is  good:  turn 
unto  me  according  to  the  mul- 
titude of  thy  tender  mercies. 

17  And  hide  not  thy  face 
from  thy  servant ;  for  I  am  in 
trouble:  hear  me  speedily. 

18  Draw  ni^h  unto  my  soul, 
and  redeem  it:  deliver  me  be- 
cause of  mine  enemies. 

19  Thou  hast  known  my  re- 

S roach,  and  my  shame,  and  my 
ishonour:    mine   adversaries 
are  all  before  thee. 

20  Reproach  hath  broken  my 
heart ;  and  I  am  full  of  heavi- 
ness: and  I  looked  for  some  to 
take  pity,  but  there  was  none; 
and  lor  comforters,  but  I  found 
none. 

21  They  gave  me  also  gall  for 
my  meat;  and  in  my  thirst  they 
gave  me  vinegar  to  drink. 

22  Let  their  table  become  a 
snare  before  them:  and  that 
which  should  have  been  for 
their  welfare,  let  it  become  a 
trap. 

23  Let  their  eyes  be  darkened, 
that  they  see  not;  and  make 
their  loins  continually  to  shake. 

24  Pour  out  thine  indignation 
upon  them,  and  let  thy  wrath- 
ful anger  take  hold  of  them. 

25  Let  their  habitation  be  des- 
olate; and  let  none  dwell  in 
their  tents. 

26  For  they  persecute  him 
whom  thou  hast  smitten;  and 
they  talk  to  the  grief  of  those 
whom  thou  hast  wounded. 

27  Add  iniquity  unto  their  in- 
iquity: and  let  them  not  come 
into  thy  righteousness. 

28  Let  them  be  blotted  out  of 
the  book  of  the  living,  and  not 
be  written  with  the  righteous. 


29  But  I  am  poor  and  sorrow- 
ful :  let  thy  salvation,  O  God, 
set  me  up  on  high. 

30  I  will  praise  the  name  of 
God  with  a  song,  and  will  mag- 
nify him  with  thanksgiving. 

31  This  also  shall  please  the 
Lord  better  than  an  or  or  bul- 
lock that  hath  horns  and  hoofs. 

32  The  humble  shall  see  this, 
and  be  glad:  and  your  heart 
shall  live  that  seek  God. 

33  For  the  Lord  heareth  the 
poor,  and  despiseth  not  his 
prisoners. 

34  Let  the  heaven  and  earth 
praise  him,  the  seas,  and  every 
thing  that  moveth  therein. 

35  For  God  will  save  Zi'5n, 
and  will  build  the  cities  of 
Ju'dah:  that  they  may  dwell 
there,  and  have  it  in  posses- 
sion. 

36  The  seed  also  of  his  serv- 
ants shall  inherit  it :  and  they 
that  love  his  name  shall  dwell 
therein. 

PSALM  70 

David  solicits  God  to  the  speedy  de- 
struction of  the  wicked,  and  pre*' 
ervation  of  the  godly. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 
of  Da'vid,  to  bring  to  remem- 
brance. 

MAKE  haste,  0  God,  to 
deliver  me;  make  haste 
to  help  me,  O  Lord. 

2  Let  them  be  ashamed  and 
confounded  that  seek  after  my 
soul:  let  them  be  turned  back- 
ward, and  put  to  confusion,  that 
desire  my  hurt 

3  Let  them  be  turned  back 
for  a  reward  of  their  shame 
that  say,  Aha,  aha. 

4  Let  all  those  that  seek  thee 
rejoice  and  be  glad  in  thee: 
and  let  such  as  love  thy  salva- 
tion say  continually,  Let  God 
be  magnified. 

5  But  I  am  poor  and  needy: 
make  haste  unto  me,  0  God: 
thou  art  my  help  and  my  deliv- 
erer; O  Lord,  make  no  tarrying. 

PSALM  71 

David  prays  both  for  himself  and 
against  the  enemies  of  his  soul: 
17  for  support  in  old  age, 

IN  thee,  0  Lord,  do  I  put 
my  trust:  let  me  never  be 
put  to  confusion. 

2  Deliver  me  in  thy  right- 
eousness, and  cause  me  to  es- 
cape: incline  thine  ear  unto 
me,  and  save  me. 

3  Be  thou  my  strong  habita- 
tion, whereunto  1  may  contin- 
ually resort:  thou  hast  given 
commandment  to  save  me ;  for 
thou  art  my  rock  and  my  for- 
tress.

4  Deliver  me,  O  my  God,  out 
of  the  hand  of  the  wicked,  out 
of  the  hand  of  the  unrighteous 
and  cruel  man. 

5  For  thou  art  my  hope,  0 
Lord  God:  thou  art  my  trust 
from  my  youth. 

6  By  thee  have  I  been  hold- 
en  up  from  the  womb :  thou  art 
he  that  took  me  out  of  my 
mother's  bowels:  my  praise 
shall  be  continually  of  thee. 

7  I  am  as  a  wonder  unto 
many;  but  thou  art  my  strong 
refuge. 

8  Let  my  mouth  be  filled 
with  thy  praise  and  with  thy 
honour  all  the  day. 

9  Cast  me  not  off  in  the  time 
of  old  age ;  forsake  me  not  when 
my  strength  faileth. 

10  For  mine  enemies  speak 
against  me ;  and  they  that  lay 
wait  for  my  soul  take  counsel 
together, 

11  Saying,  God  hath  forsaken 
him:  persecute  and  take  him; 
for  there  is  none  to  deliver  him. 

12  O God,  be  not  far  from  me: 
O  my  God,  make  haste  for  my 
help. 

13  Let  them  be  confounded 
and  consumed '  that  are  adver- 
saries to  my  soul ;  let  them  be 
covered  with  reproach  and  dis- 
honour that  seek  my  hurt. 

14  But  I  will  hone  continual- 
ly, and  will  yet  praise  thee  more 
and  more. 

15  My  mouth  shall  shew  forth 
thy  righteousness  and  thy  salva- 
tion all  the  day ;  for  I  know  not 
the  numbers  thereof. 

16  I  will  go  in  the  strength  of 
the  Lord  God  :  I  will  make  men- 
tion of  thy  righteousness,  even 
of  thine  only. 

17  O  God,  thou  hast  taught 
me  from  my  youth :  and  hith- 
erto have  I  declared  thy  won- 
drous works. 

18  Now  also  when  I  am  old  and 
greyheaded,  O  God,  forsake  me 
not;  until  I  have  shewed  thy 
strength  unto  this  generation, 
and  thy  power  to  every  one  that 
is  to  come. 

19  Thy  righteousness  also,  0 
God,  is  very  high,  who  hast 
done  great  things :  O  God,  who 
is  like  unto  thee ! 

20  Thou,  which  hast  shewed 
me  great  and  sore  troubles, 
shalt  quicken  me  again,  and 
shalt  bring  me  up  again  from 
the  depths  of  the  earth. 

21  Thou  shalt  increase  my 
greatness,  and  comfort  me  on 
every  side. 

22  I  will  also  praise  thee  with 
the  psaltery,  even  thy  truth,  O 


mv  God :  unto  thee  will  I  sing 
with  the  harp,  O  thou  Holy  One 
of  Is/ra-el. 

23  My  lips  shall  greatly  rejoice 
when  I  sing  unto  thee ;  and  my 
soul,  which  thou  hast  redeemed. 

24  My  tongue  also  shall  talk  of 
thy  righteousness  all  the  day 
long :  for  they  are  confounded, 
for  they  are  brought  unto  shame, 
that  seek  my  hurt 

PSALM  72 

David,  praying  for  Salomon*  ahem 
the  glory  of  his  kingdom,  in  tgpe, 
and  o/  Christ's  in  truth. 

A  Psalm  for  SdTo-mon. 

GIVE  the  king  thy  judgments, 
O  God,  and  thy  righteous- 
ness unto  the  king's  son. 

2  He  shall  judge  thy  people 
with  righteousness,  and  thy 
poor  with  judgment. 

3  The  mountains  shall  bring 
peace  to  the  people,  and  the  lit- 
tle hills,  by  righteousness. 

4  He  shall  judge  the  poor  of 
the  people,  he  shall  save  the 
children  of  the  needy,  and  shall 
break  in  pieces  the  oppressor. 

5  They  shall  fear  thee  as  long 
as  the  sun  and  moon  endure, 
throughout  all  generations. 

6  He  shall  come  down  like  rain 
upon  the  mown  grass :  as  show 
era  that  water  the  earth. 

7  In  his  days  shall  the  right- 
eous flourish;  and  abundance 
of  peace  so  long  as  the  moon 
endureth. 

8  He  shall  have  dominion  also 
from  sea  to  sea,  and  from  the 
river  unto  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

9  They  that  dwell  in  the  wil- 
derness shall  bow  before  him ; 
and  his  enemies  shall  lick  the 
dust 

10  The  kings  of  TaYshish  and 
of  the  isles  shall  bring  presents : 
the  kings  of  She^ba  and  STba 
shall  offer  gifts. 

11  Yea,  all  kings  shall  fall 
down  before  him:  all  nations 
shall  serve  him. 

12  For  he  shall  deliver  the 
needy  when  he  crieth;  the 
poor  also,  and  him  that  hath 
no  helper. 

13  He  shall  spare  the  poor  and 
needy,  and  shall  save  the  souls 
of  the  needy. 

14  He  shall  redeem  their  soul 
from  deceit  and  violence:  and 
precious  shall  their  blood  be  in 
his  sight. 

15  And  he  shall  live,  and  to 
him  shall  be  given  of  the  gold 
of  She'ba :  prayer  also  shall  be 
made  for  him  continually;  and 
daily  shall  he  be  praised. 

16  There  shall  be  an  handful

PSALM.  73 

The  prophet,  prevailing  in  a  tempta- 
tion* 2  anew*  the  occasion  thereof. 

A  Psalm  of  A'saph. 

TRULY  God  is  good  to  Is'- 
ra-«U  even  to  such  as  are  of 
a  clean  heart 

2  But  as  for  me,  my  feet  were 
almost  gone ;  my  steps  had  well 
nigh  slipped. 

3  For  1  was  envious  at  the 
foolish,  when  I  saw  the  pros- 
perity of  the  wicked. 

4  For  there  are  no  bands  in 
their  death :  but  their  strength 
is  firm. 

5  They  are  not  in  trouble  as 
other  men;  neither  are  they 
plagued  like  other  men. 

6  Therefore  pride  comDasseth 
them  about  as  a  chain ;  violence 
covereth  them  as  a  garment 

7  Their  eyes  stand  out  with 
fatness:  they  have  more  than 
heart  could  wish. 

8  They  are  corrupt,  and  speak 
wickedly  concerning  oppres- 
sion: they  speak  loftily. 

9  They  set  their  mouth  against 
the  heavens,  and  their  tongue 
walketh  through  the  earth. 

10  Therefore  his  people  re- 
turn hither :  and  waters  of  a  full 
cup  are  wrung  out  to  them. 

11  And  they  say,  How  doth 
God  know?  and  is  there  knowl- 
edge in  the  most  High? 

12  Behold,  these  are  the  un- 
godly, who  prosper  in  the  world ; 
they  increase  in  riches. 

13  Verily  I  have  cleansed  my 
heart  in  vain,  and  washed  my 
hands  in  innocency. 

14  For  all  the  day  long  have 
I  been  plagued,  and  chastened 
every  morning. 

15  If  I  say,  Twill  speak  thus; 
behold,  I  should  offend  against 
the  generation  of  thy  children. 

16  When  I  thought  to  know 
thisy  it  was  too  painful  for  me ; 


17  Until  I  went  into  the  sanc- 
tuary of  God ;  then  understood  I 
their  end. 

18  Surely  thou  didst  set  them 
in  slippery  places :  thou  castedst 
them  down  into  destruction. 

19  How  are  they  brought  into 
desolation,  as  in  a  moment! 
they  are  utterly  consumed  with 
terrors. 

20  As  a  dream  when  one 
awaketh;  so,  O  Lord,  when 
thou  awakest,  thou  shalt  de- 
spise their  image. 

21  Thus  my  heart  was  grieved, 
and  I  was  pricked  in  my  reins. 

22  So  foolish  was  I,  and  igno- 
rant: I  was  as  a  beast  before 
thee. 

23  Nevertheless  I  am  contin- 
ually with  thee :  thou  hast  hold- 
en  me  by  my  right  hand. 

24  Thou  shalt  guide  me  with 
thy  counsel,  and  afterward  re- 
ceive me  to  glory. 

25  Whom  have  I  in  heaven 
but  thee  f  and  there  is  none 
upon  earth  that  I  desire  beside 
thee. 

26  My  flesh  and  my  heart  fail- 
eth :  but  God  is  the  strength  of 
my  heart,  and  my  portion  for 
ever. 

27  For,  lo,  thev  that  are  far 
from  thee  shall  perish:  thou 
hast  destroyed  all  them  that  go 
a  whoring  from  thee. 

28  But  it  is  good  for  me  to 
draw  near  to  God:  I  have  put 
my  trust  in  the  Lord  God,  that 
I  may  declare  all  thy  works. 

PSALM  74 

The  desolation  of  the  sanctuary. 

Mas'chil  of  A'saph. 

OGOD,  why  hast  thou  cast 
us  off  for  ever?  why  doth 
thine  anger  smoke  against  the 
sheep  of  thy  pasture? 

2  Remember  thy  congrega- 
tion, which  thou  hast  pur- 
chased of  old ;  the  rod  of  thine 
inheritance,  which  thou  hast 
redeemed;  this  mount  Zi'dn, 
wherein  thou  hast  dwelt 

3  Lift  up  thy  feet  unto  the 
perpetual  desolations;  even  all 
that  the  enemy  hath  done 
wickedly  in  the  sanctuary. 

4  Thine  enemies  roar  in  the 
midst  of  thy  congregations; 
they  set  up  their  ensigns  for 
signs. 

5  A  man  was  famous  accord- 
ing as  he  had  lifted  up  axes  up- 
on the  thick  trees. 

6  But  now  they  break  down 
the  carved  work  thereof  at  once 
with  axes  and  hammers. 

7  They  have  cast  fire  into  thy 
sanctuary,  they  have  defiled  by

8  They  said  in  their  hearts, 
Let  us  destroy  them  together: 
they  have  burned  up  all  the 
synagogues  of  God  in  the  land. 

9  We  see  not  our  signs:  there 
is  no  more  any  prophet:  nei- 
ther is  there  among  us  any  that 
knoweth  how  long. 

10  0  God,  how  long  shall  the 
adversary  reproach?  shall  the 
enemy  blaspheme  thy  name  for 
ever? 

11  Why  withdrawest  thou  thy 
hand,  even  thy  right  hand? 
pluck  it  out  of  thy  bosom. 

12  For  God  is  my  King  of  old, 
working  salvation  in  the  midst 
of  the  earth. 

13  Thou  didst  divide  the 
by  thy  strength :  thou  brakest 
the  heads  of  the  dragons  in  the 
waters. 

14  Thou  brakest  the  heads  of 
leviathan  in  pieces,  and  gavest 
him  to  be  meat  to  the  people  in 
habiting  the  wilderness. 

15  Thou  didst  cleave  the  f  oun 
tain  and  the  flood :  thoudriedst 
up  mighty  rivers. 

16  The  day  is  thine,  the 
night  also  is  thine:  thou  hast 
prepared  the  light  and  the  sun. 

17  Thou  hast  set  all  the  bor- 
ders of  the  earth:  thou  hast 
made  summer  and  winter. 

18  Remember  this,  that  the 
enemy  hath  reproached,  O 
Lord,  and  that  the  foolish  peo- 
ple have  blasphemed  thy  name. 

19  0  deliver  not  the  soul  of 
thy  turtledove  unto  the  multi 
rude  of  the  wicked :  forget  not 
the  congregation  of  thy  poor 
for  ever. 

20  Have  respect  unto  the  cove- 
nant :  for  the  dark  places  of  the 
earth  are  full  of  the  habitations 
of  cruelty. 

21  O  let  not  the  oppressed  re- 
turn ashamed :  let  the  poor  and 
needy  praise  thy  name. 

22  Arise,  O  God,  plead  thine 
own  cause :  remember  how  the 
foolish  man  reproacheth  thee 
daily. 

23  Forget  not  the  voice  of 
thine  enemies:  the  tumult  of 
those  that  rise  up  against  thee 
increaseth  continually. 

PSALM  75 

The  prophet  praises  God,  4  and  re- 
bukes the  proud. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  Al-taY 
chith,  A  Psalm  or  Song  of 
A'saph. 

UNTO  thee,  O  God,  do  we 
give  thanks,  unto  thee  do 


we  give  thanks:  for  that  thy 
name  is  near  thy  wondrous 
works  declare. 
2  When  I  shall  receive  the 
congregation  I  will  judge  up- 
rightly. 

The  earth  and  all  the  in- 
habitants thereof  are  dissolved : 
I  bear  up  the  pillars  of  it  Se' 
lah. 

4  I  said  unto  the  fools,  Deal 
not  foolishly:  and  to  the  wicked, 
Lift  not  up  the  horn : 

5  Lift  not  up  your  horn  on 
high:  speak  not  with  a  stiff 
neck. 

6  For  promotion  cometh  nei- 
ther from  the  east,  nor  from 
the  west,  nor  from  the  south. 

7  But  God  is  the  judge:  he 
putteth  down  one,  and  setteth 
up  another. 

For  in  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
there  is  a  cup,  and  the  wine  is 
red ;  it  is  full  of  mixture ;  and  he 
poureth  out  of  the  same:  but  the 
dregs  thereof,  all  the  wicked  of 
the  earth  shall  wring  them  out, 
and  drink  them. 

9  But  I  will  declare  for  ever; 
I  will  sing  praises  to  the  God  of 
JS'cob. 

10  All  the  horns  of  the  wicked 
also  will  I  cut  off;  out  the  horns 
of  the  righteous  shall  be  exalted. 

PSALM  76 

A  declaration  of  God's  majesty  in 
the  church. 

To  the  chief  Musician  on  Neg'- 
I-ndth,  A  Psalm  or  Song  of 
A'saph. 

IN  Ju'dah  is  God  known:  his 
name  is  great  in  la'ra-eL 

2  In  Salem  also  is  his  taber- 
nacle, and  his  dwelling  place  in 
Zi'dn. 

3  There  brake  he  the  arrows 
of  the  bow,  the  shield,  and  the 
sword,  and  the  battle.    Selah, 

4  TTiou  art  more  glorious  and 
excellent  than  the  mountains  of 
prey. 

5  The  stouthearted  are  spoiled, 
they  have  slept  their  sleep :  and 
none  of  the  men  of  might  have 
found  their  hands. 

6  At  thy  rebuke,  O  God  of 
Ja'cob,  both  the  chariot  and 
horse  are  cast  into  a  dead  sleep, 

7  Thou,  even  thou,  art  to  be 
feared :  and  who  may  stand  in 
thy  sight  when  once  thou  art 
angry? 

8  Thou  didst  cause  judgment 
to  be  heard  from  heaven;  the 
earth  feared,  and  was  still, 

9  When  God  arose  to  judg- 
ment, to  save  all  the  meek  of 
the  earth.    Selah.

your  God :  let  all  that  he  round 
about  him  bring  presents  unto 
him  that  ought  to  be  feared.

PSALM  77 

The  psalmist  shews  what  fierce  com- 
bat he  had  with  diffidence,  and  the 
victory  he  obtained. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  to  J£d'- 
u-thun,  A  Psalm  of  A'saph. 

I  CRIED  unto  God  with  my 
voice,  even  unto  God  with 
my  voice;  and  he  gave  ear  un- 
to me. 

2  In  the  day  of  my  trouble  I 
sought  the  Lord:  my  sore  ran 
in  the  night,  and  ceased  not: 
my  soul  refused  to  be  comforted. 

3  I  remembered  God,  and  was 
troubled:  I  complained,  and 
my  spirit  was  overwhelmed. 
Selah. 

4  Thou  boldest  mine  eves 
waking:  I  am  so  ^troubled  that 
I  cannot  speak. 

5  I  have  considered  the  days  of 
old,  the  vears  of  ancient  times. 

6  I  call  to  remembrance  my 
song  in  the  night :  I  commune 
with  mine  own  heart :  and  my 
spirit  made  diligent  search. 

7  Will  the  Lord  cast  off  for 
ever?  and  will  he  be  favourable 
no  more? 

8  Is  his  mercy  clean  gone  for 
ever?  doth  his  promise  fail  for 
evermore? 

9  Hath  God  forgotten  to  be 
gracious?  hath  he  in  anger 
shut  up  his  tender  mercies? 
Selah. 

10  And  I  said,  This  is  my 
infirmity :  but  I  will  remember 
the  years  of  the  right  hand  of 
the  most  High. 

11  I  will  remember  the  works 
of  the  Lord:  surely  I  will  re- 
member thy  wonders  of  old. 

12  I  will  meditate  also  of  all 
thy  work,  and  talk  of  thy  do- 
ings. 

13  Thy  way,  0  God,  is  in  the 
sanctuary:  who  is  so  great  a 
God  as  our  God? 

14  Thou  art  the  God  that 
doest  wonders:  thou  hast  de- 
clared thy  strength  among  the 
people. 

15  Thou  hast  with  thine  arm 
redeemed  thy  people,  the  sons 
of  Ja'cob  and  Jd'seph.    Selah. 

16  The  waters  saw  thee,  0 
God,  the  waters  saw  thee ;  they 
were  afraid:  the  depths  also 
were  troubled. 


17  The  clouds  poured  out 
water:  the  skies  sent  out  a 
sound :  thine  arrows  also  went 
abroad. 

18  The  voice  of  thy  thunder 
was  in  the  heaven:  the  light- 
nings lightened  the  world :  the 
earth  trembled  and  shook. 

19  Thy  way  is  in  the  sea,  and 
thy  path  in  the  great  waters, 
and  thy  footsteps  are  not 
known. 

20  Thou  leddest  thy  people 
like  a  flock  by  the  hand  of  Mou- 
ses, and  AaYon. 

PSALM  78 

Story  of  God9 e  wrath  against  the  in- 
credulous and  disobedient. 

M&s'chll  of  A'saph. 

GIVE  ear,  O  my  people,  to 
my  law:  incline  your  ears 
to  the  words  of  my  mouth. 

2  I  will  open  my  mouth  in  a 
parable:  I  will  utter  dark  say- 
ings of  old: 

3  Which  we  have  heard  and 
known,  and  our  fathers  have 
told  us. 

4  We  will  not  hide  them  from 
their  children,  shewing  to  the 
generation  to  come  the  praises 
of  the  Lord,  and  his  strength, 
and  his  wonderful  works  that 
he  hath  done. 

5  For  he  established  a  testi- 
mony in  Ja'cob,  and  appointed 
a  law  in  Is/ra-el,  which  he  com- 
manded our  fathers,  that  they 
should  make  them  known  to 
their  children: 

6  That  the  generation  to  come 
might  know  them,  even  the 
children  which  should  be  born ; 
who  should  arise  and  declare 
them  to  their  children: 

7  That  they  might  set  their 
hope  in  God,  and  not  forget  the 
works  of  God,  but  keep  his  com- 
mandments : 

8  And  might  not  be  as  their 
fathers,  a  stubborn  and  rebel- 
lious generation;  a  generation 
that  set  not  their  heart  aright, 
and  whose  spirit  was  not  sted- 
f ast  with  God. 

9  The  children  of  E'phr5-Im, 
oein^armed,  and  carrying  bows, 
turned  back  in  the  day  of  battle. 

10  They  kept  not  the  cove- 
nant of  God,  and  refused  to 
walk  in  his  law; 

11  And  forgat  his  works,  and 
his  wonders  that  he  had  shewed 
them. 

12  Marvellous  things  did  he  in 
the  sight  of  their  fathers,  in 
the  land  of  E'fcjpt,  in  the  field 
of  Zd'an. 

13  He  divided  the  sea,  and 
caused  them  to  pass  through;

and   he   made   the  waters,  to 
stand  as  an  heap. 

14  In  the  daytime  also  he  led 
them  with  a  cloud,  and  all  the 
night  with  a  light  of  fire. 

15  He  clave  the  rocks  in  the 
wilderness,  and  gave  them  drink 
as  out  of  the  great  depths. 

16  He  brought  streams  also 
out  of  the  rock,  and  caused  wa- 
ters to  run  down  like  rivers. 

17  And  they  sinned  yet  more 
against  him  by  provoking  the 
most  High  in  the  wilderness. 

18  And  they  tempted  God  in 
their  heart  by  asking  meat  for 
their  lust 

19  Yea,  they  spake  against 
God;  they  said,  Can  God  fur- 
nish a  table  in  the  wilderness  ? 

20  Behold,  he  smote  the  rock, 
that  the  waters  gushed  out,  and 
the  streams  overflowed ;  can  he 

jive  bread  also  ?  can  he  provide 
Lesh  for  his  people? 

21  Therefore  the  Lord  heard 
this,  and  was  wroth :  so  a  fire 
was  kindled  against  Jfi'cob,  and 
anger  also  came  up  against  Is/< 
ra-el; 

22  Because  they  believed  not 
in  God,  and  trusted  not  in  his 
salvation : 

23  Though  he  had  command- 
ed the  clouds  from  above*  and 
opened  the  doors  of  heaven, 

24  And  had  rained  down  man* 
na  upon  them  to  eat,  and  had 

riven  them  of  the  corn  of 
leaven. 

25  Man  did  eat  angels'  food 
he  sent  them  meat  to  the  full. 

26  He  caused  an  east  wind  to 
blow  in  the  heaven :  and  by  his 
power  he  brought  in  the  south 
wind. 

27  He  rained  flesh  also  upon 
them  as  dust,  and  feathered 
fowls  like  as  the  sand  of  the 
sea: 

28  And  he  let  it  fall  in  the 
midst  of  their  camp,  round 
about  their  habitations. 

29  So  they  did  eat,  and  were 
well  filled:  for  he  gave  them 
their  own  desire ; 

30  They  were  not  estranged 
from  their  lust  But  while  their 
meat  was  yet  in  their  mouths, 

31  The  wrath  of  God  came  up- 
on them,  and  slew  the  fattest  of 
them,  and  smote  down  the  cho- 
sen men  of  lfe'ra-el. 

32  For  all  this  they  sinned 
still,  and  believed  not  for  his 
wondrous  works. 

33  Therefore  their  days  did 
he  consume  in  vanity,  and  their 
years  in  trouble. 

34  When  he  slew  them,  then 
they  sought  him:  and  they  re- 


turned and  esquired  early  after 
God. 

35  And  they  remembered  that 
God  was  their  rock,  and  the 
high  God  their  redeemer. 

36  Nevertheless  they  did  flat- 
ter him  with  their  mouth,  and 
they  lied  unto  him  with  their 
tongues. 

37  For  their  heart  was  not 
right  with  him,  neither  were 
they  stedf ast  in  hk  covenant 

38  But  he,  being  full  of  com- 
passion, forgave  their  iniquity, 
and  destroyed  them  not:  yea, 
many  a  time  turned  he  his  an- 
ger away,  and  did  not  stir  up  all 
his  wrath. 

39  For  he  remembered  that 
they  were  but  flesh;  a  wind 
that  passeth  away,  and  cometh 
not  again. 

40  How  oft  did  they  provoke 
him  in  the  wilderness,  and 
grieve  him  in  the  desert ! 

41  Yea,  thev  turned  back  and 
tempted  God,  and  limited  the 
Holy  One  of  Ig'ra-eL 

42  They  remembered  not  his 
hand,  nor  the  day  when  he  de- 
livered them  from  the  enemy. 

43  How  he  had  wrought  his 
signs  in  &kjfpt,  and  bis  wonders 
in  the  field  of  Zo'an: 

44  And  had  turned  their  riv- 
ers into  blood ;  and  their  floods, 
that  they  could  not  drink. 

45  He  sent  divers  sorts  of 
flies  among  them,  which  de- 
voured them ;  and  frogs,  which 
destroyed  them. 

46  He  gave  also  their  increase 
unto  the  caterpiller,  and  their 
labour  unto  the  locust 

47  He  destroyed  their  vines 
with  hail,  and  their  sycomore 
trees  with  frost 

48  He  gave  up  their  cattle  also 
to  the  hail,  and  their  flocks  to 
hot  thunderbolts. 

49  He  cast  upon  them  the 
fierceness  of  his  anger,  wrath, 
and  indignation,  and  trouble, 
by  sending  evil  angels  among 
them. 

50  He  made  a  way  to  his  an- 
ger; he  spared  not  their  soul 
from  death,  but  gave  their  life 
over  to  the  pestilence ; 

51  And  smote  all  the  firstborn 
in  l^gypt;  the  chief  of  their 
strength  in  the  tabernacles  of 
Hftm: 

52  But  made  his  own  people  to 
go  forth  like  sheep,  ana  guided 
them  in  the  wilderness  like  a 
flock. 

53  And  he  led  them  on  safely, 
so  that  they  feared  not :  but  the 
sea  overwhelmed  their  enemies. 

54  And  he  brought  them  to

55  He  cast,  out  the  heathen 
also  before  them,  and  divided 
them  an  inheritance  by  line, 
and  made  the  tribes  of  la'ra-el 
to  dwell  in  their  tents. 

56  Yet  they  tempted  and  pro- 
voked the  most  high  God,  and 
kept  not  his  testimonies : 

57  But  turned  back,  and  dealt 
unfaithfully  like  their  fathers: 
they  were  turned  aside  like  a 
deceitful  bow. 

58  For  they  provoked  him  to 
anger  with  their  high  places, 
and  moved  him  to  jealousy  with 
their  graven  images. 

59  When  God  heard  this,  he 
was  wroth,  and  greatly  abhorred 
la'ra-el : 

60  So  that  he  forsook  the 
tabernacle  of  Shilflh,  the  tent 
which  he  placed  among  men ; 

61  And  delivered  his  strength 
into  captivity,  and  his  glory  in- 
to the  enemy's  hand. 

62  He  gave  his  people  over 
also  unto  the  sword;  and 
wroth  with  his  inheritance. 

63  The  fire  consumed  their 
young  men ;  and  their  maidens 
were  not  given  to  marriage. 

64  Their  priests  fell  by  the 
sword ;  and  their  widows  made 
no  lamentation. 

65  Then  the  Lord  awaked  as 
one  out  of  sleep,  and  like  a 
mighty  man  that  shouteth  by 
reason  of  wine. 

66  And  he  smote  his  enemies 
in  the  hinder  parts:  he  put 
them  to  a  perpetual  reproach. 

67  Moreover  he  refused  the 
tabernacle  of  Jd'seph,  and  chose 
not  the  tribe  of  E'phra-im : 

68  But  chose  the  tribe  of  Ju' 
dah,  the  mount  Zi'dn  which  he 
loved. 

69  And  he  built  his  sanctu- 
ary like  high  palaces,  like  the 
earth  which  he  hath  established 
for  ever. 

70  He  chose  Dfi'vid  also  his 
servant,  and  took  him  from  the 
sheepfolds: 

71  From  following  the  ewes 
great  with  young  he  brought 
him  to  feed  JS'cob  his  people, 
and  la'ra-el  his  inheritance. 

72  So  he  fed  them  according 
to  the  integrity  of  his  heart; 
and  guided  them  by  the  skilful- 
ness  of  his  hands. 

PSALM  79 

Of  the  desolation  of  Jerusalem. 

A  Psalm  of  A'saph. 

r\  GOD,  the  heathen  are  come 


into  thine  inheritance;  thy 


holy  temple  have  they  defiled; 
they  have  laid  JS-ru'sa-lem  on 
heaps. 

2  The  dead  bodies  of  thy 
servants  have  they  given  to  be 
meat  unto  the  fowls  of  the 
heaven,  the  flesh  of  thy  saints 
unto  the  beasts  of  the  earth. 

3  Their  blood  have  they  shed 
like  water  round  about  J£-ru'sa- 
lem;  and  there  was  none  to 
bury  them. 

4  We  are  become  a  reproach 
to  our  neighbours,  a  scorn  and 
derision  to  them  that  are  round 
about  us. 

5  How  long,  Lord?  wilt  thou 
be  angry  for  ever?  shall  thy 
jealousy  burn  like  fire? 

6  Pour  out  thy  wrath  upon 
the  heathen  that  have  not 
known  thee,  and  upon  the  king- 
doms that  have  not  called  upon 
thy  name. 

7  For  they  have  devoured  Ja'- 
cob,  and  laid  waste  his  dwell- 
ing place. 

8  0  remember  not  against  us 
former  iniquities :  let  thy  tender 
mercies  speedily  prevent  us: 
for  we  are  brought  very  low. 

9  Help  us,  0  God  of  our  salva- 
tion, for  the  glory  of  thy  name : 
and  deliver  us,  and  purge  away 
our  sins,  for  thy  name's  sake. 

10  Wherefore  should  the  hea- 
then say,  Where  is  their  God? 
let  him  be  known  among  the 
heathen  in  our  sight  by  the 
revenging  of  the  blood  of  thy 
servants  which  is  shed. 

11  Let  the  sighing  of  the 
prisoner  come  before  thee;  ac- 
cording to  the  greatness  of  thy 
power  preserve  thou  those  that 
are  appointed  to  die; 

12  And  render  unto  our  neigh 
bours  sevenfold  into  their  bosom 
their  reproach,  wherewith  they 
have  reproached  thee,  O  Lord. 

13  So  we  thy  people  and  sheep 
of  thy  pasture  will  give  thee 
thanks  for  ever:  we  will  shew 
forth  thy  praise  to  all  genera 
tions.

Of  the  miseries  of  the  church. 
To  the  chief  Musician  upon  Sh<5-

A'saph. 

GIVE  ear,  O  Shepherd  of 
Ig'ra-el,  thou  that  leadest 
Jd'geph  like  a  flock ;  thou  that 
dwellest  between  the  cheru- 
bims,  shine  forth. 

2  Before  Cphra-im  and  Ben'ja- 
mln  and  MS-nfts'seh  stir  up  thy 
strength,  and  come  and  save  us. 

3  Turn  us  again,  O  God,  and 
cause  thy  face  to  shine ;  and  we 
shall  be  saved.

4  O  Lord  God  of  hosts,  how 
long  wilt  thou  be  angry  against 
the  prayer  of  thy  people  ? 

5  Thou  f  eedest  them  with  the 
bread  of  tears ;  and  givest  them 
tears  to  drink  in  great  measure. 

6  Thou  makest  us  a  strife 
unto  our  neighbours:  and  our 
enemies  laugh  among  them- 
selves. 

7  Turn  us  again,  0  God  of 
hosts,  and  cause  thy  face  to 
shine ;  and  we  shall  be  saved. 

8  Thou  hast  brought  a  vine 
out  of  fi'gjrnt:  thou  hast  cast 
out  the  heathen,  and  planted  it 

9  Thou  preparedst  room  be- 
fore it,  and  didst  cause  it  to 
take  deep  root,  and  it  filled  the 
land. 

10  The  hills  were  covered 
with  the  Shadow  of  it,  and  the 
boughs  thereof  were  like  the 
goodly  cedars. 

11  She  sent  out  her  boughs 
unto  the  sea,  and  her  branches 
unto  the  river. 

12  Why  hast  thou  then  bro- 
ken down  her  hedges,  so  that 
all  they  which  pass  by  the  way 
do  pluck  her? 

13  The  boar  out  of  the  wood 
doth  waste  it,  and  the  wild 
beast  of  the  field  doth  devour 
it 

14  Return,  we  beseech  thee, 
0  God  of  hosts:  look  down 
from  heaven,  and  behold,  and 
visit  this  vine ; 

15  And  the  vineyard  which 
thy  right  hand  hath  planted, 
and  the  branch  that  thou 
madest  strong  for  thyself. 

16  It  is  burned  with  fire,  it  is 
cut  down :  they  perish  at  the 
rebuke  of  thy  countenance. 

17  Let  thy  hand  be  upon  the 
man  of  thy  right  hand,  upon 
the  son  of  man  whom  thou 
madest  strong  for  thyself. 

18  So  will  not  we  go  back 
from  thee :  quicken  us,  and  we 
will  call  upon  thy  name. 

19  Turn  us  again,  0  Lord 
God  of  hosts,  cause  thy  face  to 
shine ;  and  we  shall  be  saved. 

PSALM  81 

An  exhortation,  to  a  solemn  praising 
of  God. 

To  the    chief    Musician  upon 
Glt'tith,  A  Psalm  of  A'saph. 

SING   aloud    unto    God    our 
strength:    make  a   joyful 
noise  unto  the  God  of  Ja'cob. 

2  Take  a  psalm,  and  bring 
hither  the  timbrel,  the  pleasant 
harp  with  the  psaltery. 

3  Blow  up  the  trumpet  in  the 
new  moon,  in  the  time  appoint- 
ed, on  our  solemn  feast  day. 


4  For  this  was  a  statute  for 
Is/ra-el,  and  a  law  of  the  God 
of  Ji'cob. 

5  This  he  ordained  in  Jo'&eph 
for  a  testimony,  when  he  went 
out  through  the  land  of  E'&Jhpt: 
where  I  heard  a  language  that 
I  understood  not. 

6  I  removed  his  shoulder  from 
the  burden :  his  hands  were  de- 
livered from  the  pots. 

7  Thou  calledst  in  trouble, 
and  I  delivered  thee;  I  an- 
swered thee  in  the  secret  place 
of  thunder:  I  proved  thee  at 
the  waters  of  MeVi-bah.  SSlah. 

8  Hear,  0  my  people,  and  I 
will  testify  unto  tiiee :  0  Is/ra- 
el,  if  thou  wilt  hearken  unto 
me; 

9  There  shall  no  strange  god 
be  in  thee ;  neither  shaft  thou 
worship  any  strange  god. 

10  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God, 
which  brought  thee  out  of 
the  land  of  E'gypt:  open  thy 
mouth  wide,  and  I  will  fill  it 

11  But  my  people  would  not 
hearken  to  my  voice;  and  Isra- 
el would  none  of  me. 

12  So  I  gave  them  up  unto 
their  own  hearts'  lust :  and  they 
walked  in  their  own  counsels. 

13  Oh  that  my  people  had 
hearkened  unto  me,  and  Ig'ra- 
el  had  walked  in  my  ways! 

14  I  should  soon  have  sub- 
dued their  enemies,  and  turned 
my  hand  against  their  adver- 
saries. 

15  The  haters  of  the  Lord 
should  have  submitted  them- 
selves unto  him:  but  their  time 
should  have  endured  for  ever. 

16  He  should  have  fed  them 
also  with  the  finest  of  the 
wheat :  and  with  honey  out  of 
the  rock  should  I  have  satisfied 
thee. 

PSALM  82 

The  psalmist,   having  exhorted  the 
judges,  8  prays  God  to  judge. 

A  Psalm  of  A'saph. 

GOD  standeth  in  the  congre- 
gation of  the  mighty;  he 
judgeth  among  the  gods. 

2  How  long  will  ye  judge  un- 
justly, and  accept  the  persons 
of  the  wicked?    Selah. 

3  Defend  the  poor  and  father- 
less: do  justice  to  the  afflicted 
and  needy. 

4  Deliver  the  poor  and  needy : 
rid  them  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
wicked. 

5  They  know  not,  neither  will 
they  understand ;  they  walk  on 
in  darkness:  all  the  foundations 
of  the  earth  are  out  of  course. 

6  I  have  said,  Ye  are  gods;

PSALM  83 

A  prayer  against  those  who  oppress 
the  church. 

A  Song  or  Psalm  of  A'saph. 

KEEP  not  thou  silence,  0 
God:  hold  not  thy  peace, 
and  be  not  still,  O  God. 

2  For,  lo,  thine  enemies  make 
a  tumult:  and  they  that  hate 
thee  have  lifted  up  the  head. 

3  They  have  taken  crafty 
counsel  against  thy  people,  and 
consulted  against  thy  hidden 
ones. 

4  They  have  said,  Come,  and 
let  us  cut  them  off  from  being 
a  nation ;  that  the  name  of  Ig'- 
ra-el  may  be  no  more  in  remem- 
brance. 

5  For  they  have  consulted  to- 
gether with  one  consent:  they 
are  confederate  against  thee : 

6  The  tabernacles  of  E'dom, 
and  the  Ish'ma-el-ites ;  of  Md'- 
ab,  and  the  Hfl'gar-€nes; 

7  Ge'bal,  and  Am'mdn,  and 
Am'a-iek;  the  Phl-Hs'tlnes.  with 
the  inhabitants  of  Tjfre ; 

8  As'sur  also  is  joined  with 
them:  they  have  holpen  the 
children  of  Lftt    Selah. 

9  Do  unto  them  as  unto  the 
Midl-an-ites;  as  to  Sis'e-ra,  as 
to  J&'bin,  at  the  brook  of  Ki'« 
son: 

10  Which  perished  at  fin'- 
ddr:  they  became  as  dung  for 
the  earth. 

11  Make  their  nobles  like 
O'reb,  and  like  Ze'eb:  yea,  all 
their  princes  as  Zelrnh,  and  as 
ZSl-mua'na: 

12  Who  said,  Let  us  take  to 
ourselves  the  nouses  of  God  in 
possession. 

13  0  my  God,  make  them  like 
a  wheel ;  as  the  stubble  before 
the  wind. 

14  As  the  fire  burnetii  a 
wood,  and  as  the  flame  setteth 
the  mountains  on  fire; 

15  So  persecute  them  with 
thy  tempest,  and  make  them 
afraid  with  thy  storm. 

16  Fill  their  faces  with  shame; 
that  they  may  seek  thy  name,  0 
Lord. 

17  Let  them  be  confounded 
and  troubled  for  ever;  yea,  let 
them  be  put  to  shame,  and 
perish: 

18  That  men  may  know  that 
thou,   whose  name   alone    is 


JE-HOTAH,  art  the  most  high 
over  all  the  earth.

HOW  amiable  are  thy  taber- 
nacles, O  Lord  of  hosts ! 

2  My  soul  longeth,  yea,  even 
fainteth  for  the  courts  of  the 
Lord:  my  heart  and  my  flesh 
crieth  out  for  the  living  God. 

3  Yea,  the  sparrow  hath  found 
an  house,  and  the  swallow  a  nest 
for  herself,  where  she  may  lay 
her  young,  even  thine  altars,  0 
Lord  of  hosts,  my  King,  and 
my  God. 

4  Blessed  are  they  that  dwell 
in  thy  house:  they  will  be  still 
praising  thee.    Selah. 

5  Blessed  is  the  man  whose 
strength  is  in  thee;  in  whose 
heart  are  the  ways  of  them. 

6  Who  passing  through  the 
valley  of  Ba'ca  make  it  a  well ; 
the  rain  also  filleth  the  pools. 

7  They  go  from  strength  to 
strength,  every  one  of  them  in 
Zi'5n  appeareth  before  God. 

8  O  Lord  God  of  hosts,  hear 
my  prayer:  give  ear,  0  God  of 
Ja'cob.    Selah. 

9  Behold,  O  God  our  shield, 
and  look  upon  the  face  of  thine 
anointed. 

10  For  a  day  in  thy  courts  is 
better  than  a  thousand.  I  had 
rather  be  a  doorkeeper  in  the 
house  of  my  God,  than  to  dwell 
in  the  tents  of  wickedness. 

11  For  the  Lord  God  is  a  sun 
and  shield :  the  Lord  will  rive 
grace  and  glory :  no  good  thing 
will  he  withhold  from  them  that 
walk  uprightly. 

12  O  Lord  of  hosts,  blessed  ii 
the  man  that  trusteth  in  thee. 

PSALM  85 

The  psalmist,  from  the  experience  of 
former  mercies,  prays  for  the  con- 
tinuance thereof. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 
for  the  sons  of  KS'rah. 

LORD,  thou  hast  been  favour- 
able unto  thy  land:  thou 
hast  brought  back  the  captivity 
of  Ja'cob. 

2  Thou  hast  forgiven  the  in- 
iquity of  thy  people,  thou  hast 
covered  all  their  sin.    Selah. 

3  Thou  hast  taken  away  all 
thy  wrath:  thou  hast  turned 
thyself  from  the  fierceness  of 
thine  anger. 

4  Turn  us,  0  God  of  our  salva- 
tion, and  cause  thine  anger  to- 
ward us  to  cease.

6  Wilt  thou  not  revive  us 
again :  that  thy  people  may  re- 
joice in  thee  ? 

7  Shew  us  thy  mercy,  0  Lord, 
and  grant  us  thy  salvation. 

8  I  will  hear  what  God  the 
Lord  will  speak:  for  he  will 
speak  peace  unto  his  people, 
and  to  his  saints :  but  let  them 
not  turn  again  to  folly. 

9  Surely  his  salvation  is  nigh 
them  that  fear  him;  that 'glory 
may  dwell  in  our  land.

gether; nghteousness  and  peace 
have  kissed  each  other. 

11  Truth  shall  spring  out  of 
the  earth;  and  righteousness 
shall  look  down  from  heaven. 

12  Yea,  the  Lord  shall  give 
that  which  is  good;  and  our 
land  shall  yield  her  increase. 

13  Righteousness  shall  go  he- 
fore  him;  and  shall  set  U8  in 
the  way  of  his  steps. 

PSALM  86 

David  strengthen*  his  prayer  by 
God's  power  and  goodness  :  11  he 
desires  the  continuance  of  his 
grace. 

A  Prayer  of  Da'vid. 

BOW  down  thine  ear,  0  Lord, 
hear  me:  for  I  am  poor  and 
needy. 

2  Preserve  my  soul ;  for  I  am 
holy :  0  thou  my  God,  save  thy 
servant  that  trusteth  in  thee. 

3  Be  merciful  unto  me,  O  Lord : 
for  I  cry  unto  thee  daily. 

4  Rejoice  the  soul  of  thy  serv- 
ant :  for  unto  thee,  O  Lord,  do  I 
lift  up  my  soul. 

5  For  thou,  Lord,  art  good,  and 
ready  to  forgive ;  and  plenteous 
in  mercy  unto  all  them  that  call 
upon  thee. 

6  Give  ear,  0  Lord,  unto  my 
prayer;  and  attend  to  the  voice 
of  my  supplications. 

7  In  the  day  of  my  trouble  I 
will  call  upon  thee:  for  thou 
wilt  answer  me. 

8  Among  the  gods  there  is 
none  like  unto  thee,  O  Lord; 
neither  are  there  any  works 
like  unto  thy  works. 

9  All  nations  whom  thou  hast 
made  shall  come  and  worship 
before  thee,  0  Lord ;  and  shall 
glorify  thy  name. 

10  For  thou  art  great,  and 
doest  wondrous  things:  thou 
art  God  alone. 

11  Teach  me  thy  way,  0  Lord; 
I  will  walk  in  thy  truth :  unite 
my  heart  to  fear  thy  name. 

12  I  will  praise  thee,  0  Lord 
my  God,  with  all  my  heart :  and 


I  will  glorify  thy  name  for  ever- 
more. 

13  For  great  is  thy  mercv  to- 
ward me :  and  thou  hast  deliv- 
ered my  soul  from  the  lowest 
hell. 

14  0  God,  the  proud  are  risen 
against  me,  and  the  assemblies 
of  violent  men  have  sought  after 
my  soul ;  and  have  not  set  thee 
before  them. 

15  But  thou,  0  Lord,  art  a 
God  full  of  compassion,  and 
gracious,  longsuffering,  and 
plenteous  in  mercy  and  truth. 

16  O  turn  unto  me,  and 
have  mercy  upon  me ;  give  thy 
strength  unto  thy  servant,  and 
save  the  son  of  thine  handmaid. 

17  Shew  me  a  token  for  good; 
that  they  which  hate  me  may 
see  it,  and  be  ashamed :  because 
thou,  Lord,  hast  holpen  me,  and 
comforted  me. 

PSALM  87 

Citizenship  in  Zion. 

A  Psalm  or  Song  for  the  sons  of 
KS'rah. 

HIS  foundation  is  in  the  holy 
mountains. 

2  The  Lord  loveth  the  gates 
of  Zl'dn  more  than  all  the  dwell- 
ings of  Ja'cob. 

3  Glorious  things  are  spoken 
of  thee,  0  city  of  God.    Selah. 

4  I  will  make  mention  of 
RThab  and  B&b'y-lon  to  them 
that  know  me :  behold  Phi-lis'- 
tia,  and  Tyre,  with  E-thI-6'pi-a ; 
this  man  was  born  there. 

5  And  of  Zi'5n  it  shall  be  said, 
This  and  that  man  was  born  in 
her:  and  the  highest  himself 
shall  establish  her. 

6  The  Lord  shall  count,  when 
he  writeth  up  the  people,  that 
this  man  was  born  there.  Selah 

7  As  well  the  singers  as  the 
players  on  instruments  shall 
he  there :  all  my  springs  are 
in  thee. 

PSALM  88 

A  prayer  containing  a  grievous  com-

upon  Malia-l&th  Le>&n'noth, 
M&s'chil  of  He'man  the  Ez'ra-

OLORD  God  of  my  salvation, 
I  have  cried  day  and  night 
before  thee : 

2  Let  my  prayer  come  before 
thee:  incline  thine  ear  unto  my 
cry; 

3  For  my  soul  is  full  of  troub- 
les :  and  my  life  draweth  nigh 
unto  the  grave. 

4  I  am  counted  with  them  that 
go  down  into  the  pit:  I  am  as

a  man  that  hath  no  strength: 

5  Free  among  the  dead,  like 
the  slain  that  lie  in  the  grave, 
whom  thou  rememberest  no 
more:  and  they  are  cnt  off  from 
thy  hand. 

6  Thou  hast  laid  me  in  the 
lowest  pit,  in  darkness,  in  the 
deeps. 

7  Thy  wrath  lieth  hard  upon 
me,  and  thou  hast  afflicted  me 
with  all  thy  waves.    Se'lah. 

8  Thou  hast  put  away  mine 
acquaintance  far  from  me; 
thou  hast  made  me  an  abomi- 
nation unto  them :  I  am  shut 
up,  and  I  cannot  come  forth. 

9  Mine  eve  mourneth  by  rea- 
son of  affliction :  Lord,  I  have 
called  daily  upon  thee,  I  have 
stretched  out  my  hands  unto 
thee. 

10  Wit  thou  shew  wonders  to 
the  dead?  shall  the  dead  arise 
and  praise  thee  ?    Se'lah. 

11  shall  thy  lovingkindness 
be  declared  in  the  grave?  or 
thy  faithfulness  in  destruction  ? 

12  Shall  thy  wonders  be 
known  in  the  dark?  and  thy 
righteousness  in  the  land  of 
f  orgetf ulness  ? 

13  But  unto  thee  have  I  cried, 

0  Lord;  and  in  the  morning 
shall  my  prayer  prevent  thee. 

14  Lord,  why  castest  thou 
off  my  soul  ?  why  hidest  thou 
thy  face  from  me? 

15  I  am  afflicted  and  ready  to 
die  from  my  youth  up:  while 

1  suffer  thy  terrors  I  am  dis- 
tracted. 

16  Thy  fierce  wrath  goeth 
over  me;  thy  terrors  have  cut 
me  off. 

17  They  came  round  about 
me  daily  like  water;  they  com- 
passed me  about  together. 

18  Lover  and  friend  hast 
thou  put  far  from  me,  and  mine 
acquaintance  into  darkness. 

PSALM  89 

The  psalmist  praise*  God  for  his  care 

Of  the  church. 

MaVchll  of  E'than  the  Ez'ra- 
hite. 

I  WILL  sing  of  the  mercies  of 
the  Lord  for  ever:  with  my 
mouth  will  I  make  known  thy 
faithfulness  to  all  generations. 

2  For  I  have  said,  Mercy  shall 
be  built  up  for  ever:  thy  faith- 
fulness shalt  thou  establish  in 
the  very  heavens. 

3  I  have  made  a  covenant 
with  my  chosen,  I  have  sworn 
unto  David  my  servant, 

4  Thy  seed  will  I  establish  for 
ever,  and  build  up  thy  throne 
to  all  generations.    Selah. 


5  And  the  heavens  shall 
praise  thy  wonders,  0  Lord  : 
thy  faithfulness  also  in  the 
congregation  of  the  saints. 

6  Forwhointheheavencanbe 
compared  unto  the  Lord  ?  who 
among  the  sons  of  the  mighty 
can  be  likened  unto  the  Lord? 

7  God  is  greatly  to  be  feared 
in  the  assembly  of  the  saints, 
and  to  be  had  in  reverence  of 
all  them  that  are  about  him. 

8  O  Lord  God  of  hosts,  who  is 
a  strong  Lord  like  unto  thee  ? 
or  to  thy  faithfulness  round 
about  thee? 

9  Thou  rulest  the  raging  of 
the  sea :  when  the  waves  there- 
of arise,  thou  stillest  them. 

10  Thou  hast  broken  RThfib 
in  pieces,  as  one  that  is  slain ; 
thou  hast  scattered  thine  ene- 
mies with  thy  strong  arm. 

11  The  heavens  are  thine, 
the  earth  also  is  thine:  as 
for  the  world  and  the  ful- 
ness thereof,  thou  hast  found- 
ed them. 

12  The  north  and  the  south 
thou  hast  created  them:  Ta'- 
bor  and  HeVmon  shall  rejoice 
in  thy  name. 

13  Thou  hast  a  mighty  arm 
strong  is  thy  hand,  and  high 
is  thy  right  hand. 

14  justice  and  judgment  are 
the  habitation  of  thy  throne: 
mercy  and  truth  shall  go  be- 
fore thy  face. 

15  Blessed  is  the  people  that 
know  the  joyful  sound:  they 
shall  walk,  0  Lord,  in  the  light 
of  thy  countenance. 

16  In  thy  name  shall  they 
rejoice  all  the  day :  and  in  thy 
righteousness  shall  they  be  ex- 
alted. 

17  For  thou  art  the  glory  of 
their  strength:  and  in  thy  fa- 
vour our  horn  shall  be  exalted. 

18  For  the  Lord  is  our  de- 
fence; and  the  Holy  One  of 
Is/ra-el  is  our  king. 

19  Then  thou  spakest  in  vi- 
sion to  thv  holy  one,  and  saidst, 
I  have  laid  help  upon  one  that 
is  mighty ;  I  have  exalted  one 
chosen  out  of  the  people. 

20  I  have  found  Da'vid  my 
servant;  with  my  holy  oil  have 
I  anointed  him : 

21  With  whom  my  hand  shall 
be  established:  mine  arm  also 
shall  strengthen  him. 

22  The  enemy  shall  not  exact 
upon  him ;  nor  the  son  of  wick- 
edness afflict  him. 

23  And  I  will  beat  down  his 
foes  before  his  face,  and  plague 
them  that  hate  him. 

24  But   my  faithfulness  and

my  mercy  shall  be  with  him: 
and  in  my  name  shall  his  horn 
be  exalted. 

25  I  will  set  his  hand  also  in 
the  sea,  and  his  right  hand  in 
the  rivers. 

26  He  shall  cry  unto  me,  Thou 
art  my  father,  my  God,  and  the 
rock  of  my  salvation. 

27  Also  I  will  make  him  my 
firstborn,  higher  than  the  kings 
of  the  earth. 

28  My  mercy  will  I  keep  for 
him  for  evermore,  and  my  cove- 
nant shall  stand  fast  with  him. 

29  His  seed  also  will  I  make 
to  endure  for  ever,  and  his 
throne  as  the  days  of  heaven. 

30  If  his  children  forsake  my 
law,  and  walk  not  in  my  judg- 
ments; 

31  If  they  break  my  statutes, 
and  keep  not  my  command- 
ments; 

32  Then  will  I  visit  their  trans- 
gression with  the  rod,  and  their 
iniquity  with  stripes. 

33  Nevertheless  my  loving- 
kindness  will  I  not  utterly  take 
from  him,  nor  suffer  my  faith- 
fulness to  fail. 

34  My  covenant  will  I  not 
break,  nor  alter  the  thing  that 
is  gone  out  of  my  lips. 

35  Once  have  I  sworn  by  my 
holiness  that  I  will  not  lie  unto 
Da'vid. 

36  His  seed  shall  endure  for 
ever,  and  his.throne  as  the  sun 
before  me. 

37  It  shall  be  established  for 
ever  as  the  moon,  and  as  a  faith- 
ful witness  in  heaven.    Seflah. 

38  But  thou  hast  cast  off  and 
abhorred,  thou  hast  been  wroth 
with  thine  anointed. 

39  Thou  hast  made  void  the 
covenant  of  thy  servant :  thou 
hast  profaned  his  crown  by  cast- 
ing xt  to  the  ground. 

40  Thou'hast  broken  down  all 
his  hedges;  thou  hast  brought 
his  strong  holds  to  ruin. 

41  All  that  pass  by  the  way 
spoil  him :  he  is  a  reproach  to 
his  neighbours. 

42  Thou  hast  set  up  the  right 
hand  of  his  adversaries;  thou 
hast  made  all  his  enemies  to  re- 
joice. 

43  Thou  hast  also  turned  the 
edge  of  his  sword,  and  hast 
not  made  him  to  stand  in  the 
battle. 

44  Thou  hast  made  his  glory 
to  cease,  and  cast  his  throne 
down  to  the  ground. 

45  The  days  of  his  youth  hast 
thou  shortened :  thou  hast  cov- 
ered him  with  shame.    Selah. 

46  How  long,  Lord?  wilt  thou 


hide  thyself  for  ever  ?  shall  thy 
wrath  burn  like  fire? 

47  Remember  how  short  my 
time  is:  wherefore  hast  thou 
made  all  men  in  vain? 

48  What  man  iehethatliveth, 
and  shall  not  see  death?  shall  he 
deliver  his  soul  from  the  hand  of 
the  grave?    Se'lah. 

49  Lord,  where  are  thy  for- 
mer lovingkindnesses,  which 
thou  swarest  unto  Dft'vid  in  thy 
truth? 

50  Remember,  Lord,  the  re- 
proach of  thy  servants;  how  I 
do  bear  in  mv  bosom  the  re- 
proach of  all  the  mighty  people ; 

51  Wherewith  thine  enemies 
have  reproached,  O  Lord;  where- 
with they  have  reproached  the 
footsteps  of  thine  anointed. 

52  Blessed  be  the  Lord  for 
evermore.   A-men',andA-men'. 

PSALM  90 

Mbeee  pray  a  for  the  knowledge  and 
eenewe  experience  of  God'e  good 
providence. 

A  Prayer  of  MS'ses  the  man  of 
God. 

LORD,  thou  hast  been  our 
dwelling  place  in  all  gen- 
erations. 

2  Before  the  mountains  were 
brought  forth,  or  ever  thou  hadst 
formed  the  earth  and  the  world, 
even  from  everlasting  to  ever- 
lasting, thou  art  God. 

3  Thou  turnest  man  to  de- 
struction; and  sayest,  Return, 
ye  children  of  men. 

4  For  a  thousand  years  in  thy 
sight  are  but  as  yesterday  when 
it  is  past,  and  as  a  watch  in  the 
night 

5  Thou  earnest  them  away  as 
with  a  flood ;  they  are  as  a  sleep : 
in  the  morning  they  are  lite 
grass  which  groweth  up. 

6  In  the  morning  it  flourish- 
eth,  and  groweth  up;  in  the 
evening  it  is  cut  down,  and 
withereth. 

7  For  we  are  consumed  by 
thine  anger,  and  by  thy  wrath 
are  we  troubled. 

8  Thou  hast  set  our  iniquities 
before  thee,  our  secret  sins  in 
the  light  of  thy  countenance. 

9  For  all  our  days  are  passed 
away  in  thy  wrath :  we  spend 
our  years  as  a  tale  that  is  told. 

10  The  days  of  our  years  are 
threescore  years  and  ten ;  and 
if  by  reason  of  strength  they  be 
fourscore  years,  yet  is  their 
strength  labour  and  sorrow;  for 
it  is  soon  cut  off,  and  we  fly 
away. 

11  Who  knoweth  the  power  of 
thine  anger?  even  according  to 
thy  fear,  so  is  thy  wrath.

12  So  teach  us  to  number  our 
days,  that  we  may  apply  our 
hearts  unto  wisdom. 

13  Return,  0  Lord,  how  long? 
and  let  it  repent  thee  concern- 
ing  thy  servants. 

14  0  satisfy  us  early  with  thy 
mercy;  that  we  may  rejoice 
and  be  glad  all  our  days. 

15  Make  us  glad  according  o 
the  days  wherein  thou  hast  af- 
flicted us,  and  the  years  where- 
in we  have  seen  evil. 

16  Let  thy  work  appear  unto 
thy  servants,  and  thy  glory  un- 
to their  children. 

17  And  let  the  beauty  of  the 
Lord  our  God  be  upon  us :  and 
establish  thou  the  work  of  our 
hands  upon  us;  yea,  the  work 
of  our  hands  establish  thou  it 

PSALM  91 
Happy  state  of  the  godly. 

HE  that  dwelleth  in  the 
secret  place  of  the  most 
High  shall  abide  under  the 
shadow  of  the  Almighty. 

2  I  will  say  of  the  Lord,  He  is 
my  refuge  and  my  fortress:  my 
God;  in  him  will  I  trust 

3  Surely  he  shall  deliver  thee 
from  the  snare  of  the  fowler, 
and  from  the  noisome  pesti- 
lence. 

4  He  shall  cover  thee  with  his 
feathers,  and  under  his  wings 
shalt  thou  trust :  his  truth  shall 
be  thy  shield  and  buckler. 

5  Thou  shalt  not  be  afraid  for 
the  terror  by  night;  nor  for 
the  arrow  that  flieth  by  day ; 

6  Nor  for  the  pestilence  that 
walketh  in  darkness;  nor  for 
the  destruction  that  wasteth  at 
noonday. 

7  A  thousand  shall  fall  at  thy 
side,  and  ten  thousand  at  thy 
right  hand;  but  it  shall  not 
come  nigh  thee. 

8  Only  with  thine  eyes  shalt 
thou  behold  and  see  the  reward 
of  the  wicked. 

9  Because  thou  hast  made  the 
Lord,  which  is  my  refuge,  even 
the  most  High,  thy  habitation ; 

10  There  shall  no  evil  befall 
thee,  neither  shall  any  plague 
come  nigh  thy  dwelling. 

11  For  he  shall  give  his  angels 
charge  over  thee,  to  keep  thee 
in  all  thy  ways. 

12  They  shall  bear  thee  up  in 
their  hands,  lest  thou  dash  thy 
foot  against  a  stone. 

13  Thou  shalt  tread  upon  the 
lion  and  adder:  the  young  lion 
and  the  dragon  shalt  thou  tram- 
ple under  feet 

14  Because  he  hath  set  his 
love  upon  me,  therefore  will  I 


deliver  him:  I  will  set  him  on 
high,  because  he  hath  known 
my  name. 

15  He  shall  call  upon  me,  and 
I  will  answer  him:  I  will  be 
with  him  in  trouble;  I  will  de- 
liver him,  and  honour  him. 

16  With  long  life  will  I  satisfy 
him,  and  shew  him  my  salva- 
tion. 

PSALM  92 
The  prophet  exhorts  to  praise  God. 

A  Psalm  or  Song  for  the  sab- 
bath day. 
/T  is  a  good  thing  to  give 
thanks  unto  the  Lord,  and 
to  sing  praises  unto  thy  name, 

0  most  High : 

2  To  shew  forth  thy  loving- 
kindness  in  the  morning,  and 
thy  faithfulness  every  night, 

3  Upon  an  instrument  of  ten 
strings,  and  upon  the  psaltery ; 
upon  the  harp  with  a  solemn 
sound. 

4  For  thou,  Lord,  hast  made 
me  glad  through  thy  work:  I 
will  triurip*  in  the  works  of 
thy  hands. 

5  O  Lord,  how  great  are  thy 
works!  and  thy  thoughts  are 
very  deep. 

6  A  brutish  man  knoweth  not ; 
neither  doth  a  fool  understand 
this. 

7  When  the  wicked  spring 
as  the  grass,  and  when  all  the 
workers  of  iniquity  do  flourish ; 
it  is  that  they  shall  be  destroyed 
for  ever : 

8  But  thou,  Lord,  art  most 
high  for  evermore. 

9  For,  lo,  thine  enemies,  0 
Lord,  for,  lo,  thine  enemies 
shall  perish ;  all  the  workers  of 
iniquity  shall  be  scattered. 

10  But  my  horn  shalt  thou  ex- 
alt like  the  horn  of  an  unicorn : 

1  shall  be  anointed  with  fresh 
oil 

11  Mine  eye  also  shall  see  my 
desire  on  mine  enemies,  ana 
mine  ears  shall  hear  my  desire 
of  the  wicked  that  rise  up 
against  me. 

12  The  righteous  shall  flour- 
ish like  the  palm  tree :  he  shall 
grow  like  a  cedar  in  LSb'a-non. 

13  Those  that  be  planted  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord  shall 
flourish  in  the  courts  of  our 
God. 

14  They  shall  still  bring  forth 
fruit  in  old  age ;  they  shall  be  fat 
and  flourishing; 

15  To  shew  that  the  Lord 
is  upright :  he  is  my  rock,  and 
there  is  no  unrighteousness  in 
him.

THE  Lord  reigneth,  he  is 
clothed  with  majesty;  the 
Lord  is  clothed  with  strength, 
wherewith  he  hath  girded  him- 
self: the  world  also  is  stablished, 
that  it  cannot  be  moved. 

2  Thy  throne  is  established  of 
old :  thou  art  from  everlasting. 

3  The  floods  have  lifted  up,  O 
Lord,  the  floods  have  lifted  up 
their  voice;  the  floods  lift  up 
their  waves. 

4  The  Lord  on  high  is  might- 
ier than  the  noise  of  many 
waters,  yea,  than  the  mighty 
waves  of  the  sea. 

5  Thy  testimonies  are  very 
sure :  holiness  becometh  thine 
house,  O  Lord,  for  ever. 

PSALM  94 

The  prophet,  calling  for  justice,  com- 
plains of  the  tyranny  and  impiety 
of  the  wicked. 

OLORD  God,  to  whom  venge- 
ance belongeth ;  O  God,  to 
whom  vengeance  belongeth, 
shew  thyself. 

2  Lift  up  thyself,  thou  judge 
of  the  earth:  render  a  reward  to 
theproud. 

3  Lord,  how  long  shall  the 
wicked,  how  long  shall  the 
wicked  triumph? 

4  How  long  shall  they  utter 
and  speak  hard  things?  and 
all  the  workers  of  iniquity  boast 
themselves? 

5  They  break  in  pieces  thy 
people,  0  Lord,  and  afflict  thine 
heritage. 

6  They  slay  the  widow  and  the 
stranger,  and  murder  the  father- 
less. 

7  Yet  they  say,  The  Lord  shall 
not  see,  neither  shall  the  God 
of  J&'cob  regard  it. 

8  Understand,  ye  brutish 
among  the  people:  and  ye 
fools,  when  will  ye  be  wise? 

9  He  that  planted  the  ear,  shall 
he  not  hear  ?  he  that  formed  the 
eye,  shall  he  not  see  ? 

10  He  that  chastiseth  the  hea- 
then, shall  not  he  correct  ?  he 
thatteacheth  man  knowledge, 
shall  not  he  know  ? 

11  The  Lord  knoweth  the 
thoughts  of  man,  that  they  are 
vanity. 

12  Blessed  is  the  man  whom 
thou  chastenest,  O  Lord,  and 
teachest  him  out  of  thy  law; 

13  That  thou  mayest  give  him 
rest  from  the  days  of  adversity, 
until  the  pit  be  digged  for  the 
wicked. 

14  For  the  Lord  will  not  cast 
off  his  people,  neither  will  he 
forsake  nis  inheritance. 

15  But  judgment  shall  return 
unto  righteousness :  and  all  the 


upright  in  heart  shall  follow  it 

16  Who  will  rise  up  for  me 
against  the  evildoers?  or  who 
will  stand  up  for  me  against  the 
workers  of  iniquity  ? 

17  Unless  the  Lord  had  been 
my  help,  my  soul  had  almost 
dwelt  in  silence. 

18  When  I  said,  My  foot  slip- 
peth ;  thy  mercy,  O  Lord,  held 
me  iip. 

19  In  the  multitude  of  my 
thoughts  within  me  thy  com- 
forts delight  my  soul. 

20  Shall  the  throne  of  iniquity 
have  fellowship  with  thee,  which 
f  rameth  mischief  by  a  law  ? 

21  They  gather  themselves  to- 
gether against  the  soul  of  the 
righteous,  and  condemn  the  in- 
nocent blood. 

22  But  the  Lord  is  my  de- 
fence ;  and  my  God  is  the  rock 
of  my  refuge. 

23  And  he  shall  bring  upon 
them  their  own  iniquity,  and 
shall  cut  them  off  in  their  own 
wickedness;  yea,  the  Lord  our 
God  shall  cut  them  off. 

PSALM  95 

Exhortation  to  praiee  God,  Band  not 
to  tempt  him. 

OCOMB,  let  us  sing  unto  the 
Lord:  let  us  make  a  joyful 
noise  to  the  rock  of  our  salva- 
tion. 

2  Let  us  come  before  his  pres- 
ence with  thanksgiving,  and 
make  a  joyful  noise  unto  him 
with  psalms. 

3  For  the  Lord  is  a  great  God, 
and  a  great  King  above  all  gods. 

4  In  his  hand  are  the  deep 
places  of  the  earth :  the  strength 
of  the  hills  is  his  also. 

5  The  sea  is  his,  and  he  made 
it:  and  his  hands  formed  the 
dry  land. 

6  O  come,  let  us  worship  and 
bow  down :  let  us  kneel  before 
the  Lord  our  maker. 

7  For  he  is  our  God ;  and  we 
are  the  people  of  his  pasture, 
and  the  sheep  of  his  hand.  To 
day  if  ye  will  hear  his  voice, 

8  Harden  not  your  heart,  as  in 
the  provocation,  and  as  in  the 
day  of  temptation  in  the  wilder- 
ness: 

9  When  your  fathers  tempted 
me,  proved  me,  and  saw  my 
work. 

10  Forty  years  long  was  I 
grieved  with  this  generation, 
and  said,  It  is  a  people  that  do 
err  in  their  heart,  and  they  have 
not  known  my  ways: 

11  Unto  whom  I  sware  in  my 
wrath  that  they  should  not  en- 
ter into  my  rest

PSALM  96 

Exhortation  to  pratw  God  for  his 
general  judgments. 

OSING  unto  the  Lord  a  new 
song :  sing  unto  the  Lord, 
all  the  earth. 

2  Sing  unto  the  Lord,  bless 
his  name;  shew  forth  his  sal- 
vation from  day  to  day. 

3  Declare  his  glory  among  the 
heathen,  his  wonders  among  all 
people. 

4  For  the  Lord  is  great,  and 
greatly  to  be  praised :  he  is  to 
be  feared  above  all  gods. 

5  For  all  the  gods  of  the 
nations  are  idols :  out  the  Lord 
made  the  heavens. 

6  Honour  and  majesty  are  be- 
fore him :  strength  and  beauty 
are  in  his  sanctuary. 

7  Give  unto  the  Lord,  0  ye 
kindreds  of  the  people,  give  un- 
to the  Lord  glory  and  strength. 

8  Give  unto  the  Lord  the 
glory  due  unto  his  name :  bring 
an  offering,  and  come  into  his 
courts. 

9  O  worship  the  Lord  in  the 
beauty  of  holiness:  fear  before 
him,  all  the  earth. 

10  Sav  among  the  heathen 
that  the  Lord  reigneth:  the 
world  also  shall  be  established 
that  it  shall  not  be  moved :  he 
shall  judge  the  people  right- 
eously. 

11  Let  the  heavens  rejoice, 
and  let  the  earth  be  glad;  let 
the  sea  roar,  and  the  fulness 
thereof. 

12  Let  the  field  be  joyful,  and 
all  that  is  therein:  then  shall 
all  the  trees  of  the  wood  re- 
joice 

13  Before  the  Lord:  for  he 
cometh,  for  he  cometh  to  judge 
the  earth:  he  shall  judge  the 
world  with  righteousness,  and 
the  people  with  his  truth. 

PSALM  97 
Majesty  of  God's  kingdom. 

THE  Lord  reigneth;  let  the 
earth  rejoice;  let  the  mul- 
titude of  isles  be  glad  thereof. 

2  Clouds  and  darkness  are 
round   about   him:   righteous- 

ss   and  judgment  are   the 
habitation  of  his  throne. 

3  A  fire  goeth  before  him, 
and  burnetii  up  his  enemies 
round  about 

4  His  lightnings  enlightened 
the  world:  the  earth  saw,  and 
trembled. 

5  The  hills  melted  like  wax 
at  the  presence  of  the  Lord,  at 
the  presence  of  the  Lord  of  the 

wtinl*  Mirth 


righteousness,  and  all  the  peo- 
ple see  his  glory. 

7  Confounded  be  all  they 
that  serve  graven  images,  that 
boast  themselves  of  idols :  wor- 
ship him,  all  ye  gods. 

8  ZT6n  heard,  and  was  glad; 
and  the  daughters  of  Ju'dah 
rejoiced  because  of  thy  judg- 
ments, O  Lord. 

9  For  thou,  Lord,  art  high 
above  all  the  earth:  thou  art 
exalted  far  above  all  gods. 

10  Ye  that  love  the  Lord, 
hate  evil:  he  preserveth  the 
souls  of  his  saints;  he  deliver- 
eth  them-out  of  the  hand  of  the 
wicked. 

11  Light  is  sown  for  the 
righteous,  and  gladness  for  the 
upright  in  heart 

12  Rejoice  in  the  Lord,  ye 
righteous;  and  give  thanks  at 
the  remembrance  of  his  holi- 
ness. 

PSALM  98 

The  psalmist  exhorts  all  the  creatures 

to  praise  God. 

A  Psalm. 

OSING  unto  the  Lord  a  new 
song;  for  he  hath  done  mar- 
vellous things:  his  right  hand, 
and  his  holy  arm,  hath  gotten 
him  the  victory. 

2  The  Lord  hath  made  known 
his  salvation :  his  righteousness 
hath  he  openly  shewed  in  the 
sight  of  the  heathen. 

3  He  hath  remembered  his 
mercy  and  his  truth  toward  the 
house  of  Ig'ra-el :  all  the  ends  of 
the  earth  have  seen  the  salva- 
tion of  our  God. 

4  Make  a  joyful  noise  unto 
the  Lord,  all  the  earth :  make  a 
loud  noise,  and  rejoice,  and  sing 
praise. 

5  Sing  unto  the  Lord  with 
the  harp;  with  the  harp,  and 
the  voice  of  a  psalm. 

6  With  trumpets  and  sound  of 
cornet  make  a  joyful  noise  be- 
fore the  Lord,  the  King. 

7  Let  the  sea  roar,  and  the 
fulness  thereof ;  the  world,  and 
they  that  dwell  therein. 

8  Let  the  floods  clap  their 
hands:  let  the  hills  be  joyful 
together 

9  Before  the  Lord;  for  he 
cometh  to  judge  the  earth: 
with  righteousness  shall  he 
judge  the  world,  and  the  people 
with  equity.

between  the  cherubims ;  let  the 
earth  be  moved. 

2  The  Lord  is  great  in  Zi'dn ; 
and  he  is  high  above  all  the 
people. 

3  Let  them  praise  thy  great 
and  terrible  name;  for  it  is 
holy. 

4  The  king's  strength  also 
loveth  judgment;  thou  dost 
tablish  equity,  thou  executest 
judgment  and  righteousness  in 
J&'cob. 

5  Exalt  ye  the  Lord  our  God. 
and  worship  at  his  footstool; 
for  he  is  holy. 

6  Md'ges.  and  Atr/on  among 
his  priests,  and  S&m'u-el  among 
them  that  call  upon  his  name ; 
they  called  upon  the  Lord,  and 
he  answered  them. 

7  He  spake  unto  them  in  the 
cloudy  pillar:  they  kept  his 
testimonies,  and  the  ordinance 
that  he  gave  them. 

8  Thou  answeredst  them,  0 
Lord  our  God :  thou  wast  a  God 
that  forgavest  them,  though 
thou  tookest  vengeance  of  their 
inventions. 

9  Exalt  the  Lord  out  God, 
and  worship  at  his  holy  hill; 
for  the  Lord  our  God  is  holy. 

PSALM  100 

Exhortation  to  praise  the  hard, 
A  Psalm  of  praise. 

MAKE  a  joyful  noise  unto 
the  Lord,  all  ye  lands. 

2  Serve  the  Lord  with  glad- 
ness :  come  before  his  presence 
with  singing. 

3  Know  ye  that  the  Lord  he 
is  God:  it  is  he  that  hath  made 
us,  and  not  we  ourselves;  we 
are  his  people,  and  the  sheep 
of  his  pasture. 

4  Enter  into  his  gates  with 
thanksgiving,  and  into  his 
courts  with  praise:  be  thank- 
ful unto  him,  and  bless  his  name, 

5  For  the  Lord  is  good;  his 
mercy  is  everlasting;  and  his 
truth  endureth  to  all  genera- 
tions. 

PSALM  101 

David  makes  a  vow  and  profusion 

o/ godliness. 

A  Psalm  of  Da'vid. 

I  WILL  sing  of  mercy  and 
judgment:  unto  thee,  OLord, 
will  I  sing. 

2  I  will  behave  myself  wisely 
in  a  perfect  way.  O  when  wift 
thou  come  unto  me  ?  I  will  walk 
within  my  house  with  a  perfect 
heart 

3  I  will  set  no  wicked  thing 
before  mine  eyes:  I  hate  the 
work  of  them  that  turn  aside; 
it  shall  not  cleave  to  me,     '   I 


4  A  froward  heart  shall  de- 
part from  me :  I  will  not  know 
a  wicked  person. 

5  -Whoso  privily  slandereth 
his  neighbour,  him  will  I  cut 
off :  him  that  hath  an  high  look 
and  a  proud  heart  will  not  I 
suffer. 

6  Mine  eyes  shall  be  upon  the 
faithful  of  the  land,  that  they 
may  dwell  with  me:  he  that 
walketh  in  a  perfect  way,  he 
shall  serve  me. 

7  He  that  worketh  deceit  shall 
not  dwell  within  my  house:  he 
that  telleth  lies  shall  not  tarry 
in  my  sight 

8  I  will  early  destroy  all  the 
wicked  of  the  land ;  that  I  may 
cut  off  all  wicked  doers  from  the 
city  of  the  Lord. 

PSALM  102 

The  prophet  makes  a  grievous  com- 
plaint: 12  he  takes  comfort  in  the 
eternity  and  mercy  of  God. 

A  Prayer  of  the  afflicted,  when 
he  is  overwhelmed,  and  pour- 
eth  out  his  complaint  before 
the  Lord. 

HEAR  my  prayer,  0  Lord, 
and  let  my  cry  come  unto 
thee. 

2  Hide  not  thy  face  from  me 
in  the  day  when  I  am  in  trou- 
ble; incline  thine  ear  unto  me 
in  the  dav  when  I  call  answer 
me  speedily. 

3  For  my  days  are  consumed 
like  smoke,  and  my  bones  are 
burned  as  an  hearth. 

4  My  heart  is  smitten,  and 
withered  like  grass;  so  that  I 
forget  to  eat  my  bread. 

5  By  reason  of  the  voice  of 
my  groaning  my  bones  cleave 
to  my  skin. 

6  I  am  like  a  pelican  of  the 
wilderness :  I  am  like  an  owl  of 
the  desert 

7  I  watch,  and  am  as  a  spar- 
row alone  upon  the  house  top. 

8  Mine  enemies  reproach  me 
all  the  day;  and  they  that  are 
mad    against    me   are   sworn 

Tinst  me. 
For  I  have  eaten  ashes  like 
bread,  and  mingled  my  drink 
with  weeping, 

10  Because  of  thine  indigna- 
tion and  thy  wrath:  for  thou 
hast  lifted  me  up,  and  cast  me 
down. 

11  My  days  are  like  a  shadow 
that  declineth ;  and  I  am  with- 
ered like  grass. 

12  But  thou,  O  Lord,  shalt 
endure  for  ever;  and  thy  re- 
membrance unto  all  genera- 
tions. 

13  Thou  shalt  arise,  and  have

15  So  the  heathen  shall  fear

18  This  shall  be  written  for 
the  generation  to  come:  and 
the  people  which  shall  be  cre- 
ated shall  praise  the  Lord. 

19  For  he  hath  looked  down 
from  the  height  of  his  sanctu- 
ary; from  neaven  did  the  Lord 
behold  the  earth ; 

20  To  hear  the  groaning  of 
the  prisoner;  to  loose  those 
that  are  apponited  to  death; 

21  To  declare  the  name  of  the

not  away  in  the  midst  of  my 
days:  thy  years  are  through-

25  Of  old  hast  thou  laid  the 
foundation  of  the  earth:  and 
the  heavens  are  the  work  of  thy 
hands.

shalt  endure:  yea,  all  of  them 
shall  wax  old  like  a  garment; 
as  a  vesture  shalt  thou  change 
them,  and  they  shall  be  changed: 

27  But  thou  art  the  same,  and 
thy  years  shall  have  no  end. 

28  The  children  of  thy  serv-

seed  shall  be  established  before

Exhortation  to  Mass  God  for  hie 

mercy. 

A  Psalm  of  Da'vid. 

BLESS  the  Lord,  O  my  soul : 
and  all  that  is  within  me, 
bless  his  holy  name. 

2  Bless  the  Lord,  0  my  soul, 
and  forget  not  all  his  benefits: 

3  Who  forgiveth  all  thine  in- 
iquities; who  healeth  all  thy 
diseases; 

4  Who  redeemeth  thy  life 
from  destruction;  who  crown- 
eth  thee  with  lovingkindness 
and  tender  mercies; 

5  Who  satisfieth  thy  mouth 


with  good  things ;  so  that  thy [Ge.1.29,  Food  (l). 
youth  is  renewed  like  the  ea- 
gle's. 

6  The  Lord  executeth  right- 
eousness and  judgment  for  all 
that  are  oppressed. 

7  He  made  known  his  ways 
unto  Md'ses,  his  acts  unto  the 
children  of  la'ra-el. 

8  The  Lord  is  merciful  and 
gracious,  slow  to  anger,  and 
plenteous  in  mercy. 

9  He  will  not  always  chide: 
neither  will  he  keep  his  anger 
for  ever. 

10  He  hath  not  dealt  with  us 
after  our  sins ;  nor  rewarded  us 
according  to  our  iniquities.

stretchest  out  the  heavens  like 
a  curtain : 

3  Who  layeth  the  beams  of 
his  chambers  in  the  waters: 
who  maketh  the  clouds  his 
chariot :  who  walketh  upon  the 
wines  of  the  wind : 

4  Who  maketh  his  angels  spir- 
its ;  his  ministers  a  flaming  fire : 

5  Who  laid  the  foundations  of 
the  earth,  that  it  should  not  be 
removed  for  ever. 

6  Thou  coveredst  it  with  the 
deep  as  with  a  garment:  the 
waters  stood  above  the  moun- 
tains. 

7  At  thy  rebuke  they  fled ;  at 
the  voice  of  thy  thunder  they 
hasted  away. 

8  They  go  up  by  the  moun- 
tains ;  they  go  down  by  the  val- 
leys unto  the  place  which  thou 
hast  founded  for  them. 

9  Thou  hast  set  a  bound  that 
they  may  not  pass  over;  that 
they  turn  not  again  to  cover  the 
earth. 

10  He  sendeth  the  springs  into 
the  valleys,  which  run  among 
the  hills. 

11  They  give  drink  to  every 
beast  of  the  field :  the  wild  asses 
quench  their  thirst 

12  By  them  shall  the  fowls  of 
the  heaven  have  their  habita- 
tion, which  sing  among  the 
branches. 

13  He  watereth  the  hills  from 
his  chambers :  the  earth  is  sat- 
isfied with  the  fruit  of  thy 
works! 

14  He  causeth  the  grass  to 
grow  for  the  cattle,  and  herb 
for  the  service  of  man :  that  he 
may  bring  forth  food  out  of  the 
earth; 

15  And  wine  that  maketh 
glad  the  heart  of  man,  and  oil 
to  make  his  face  to  shine,  and 
bread  which  strengthened 
man's  heart. 

16  The  trees  of  the  Lord  are 
full  of  sap  ;  the  cedars  of  LeV- 
a-non,  which  he  hath  planted ; 

17  Where  the  birds  make  their 
nests:  as  for  the  stork,  the  fir 
trees  are  her  house. 

18  The  high  hills  are  a  ref- 
uge for  the  wild  goats;  and 
the  rocks  for  the  conies. 

19  He  appointed  the  moon  for 
seasons:  the  sun  knoweth  his 
going  down. 

20  Thou  makest  darkness,  and 
it  is  night:  wherein  all  the 
beasts  of  the  forest  do  creep 
forth. 

21  The  young  lions  roar  after 
their  prey,  and  seek  their  meat 
from  God. 

22  The  sun  ariseth.  thev  rath- 


er themselves  together,  and  lay 
them  down  in  their  dens. 

23  Man  goeth  forth  unto  his 
work  and  to  his  labour  until  the 
evening. 

24  O  Lord,  how  manifold  are 
thy  works !  in  wisdom  hast  thou 
made  them  all :  the  earth  is  full 
of  thy  riches. 

25  So  is  this  great  and  wide 
sea,  wherein  are  things  creep- 
ing innumerable,  both  small  and 
great  beasts. 

26  There  go  the  ships :  there 
is  that  leviathan,  whom  thou 
hast  made  to  play  therein. 

27  These  wait  all  upon  thee ; 
that  thou  mayest  give  them 
their  meat  in  due  season. 

28  That  thou  givest  them 
they  gather :  thou  ooenest  thine 
hand,  they  are  filled'with  good. 

29  Thou  hidest  thy  face,  they 
are  troubled :  thou  takest  away 
their  breath,  they  die,  and  re- 
turn to  their  dust.  - 

30  Thou  sendest  forth  thy 
spirit,  they  are  created:  and 
thou  renewest  the  face  of  the 
earth. 

31  The  glory  of  the  Lord 
shall  endure  for  ever:  the  Lord 
shall  rejoice  in  his  works. 

32  He  looketh  on  the  earth, 
and  it  trembleth :  he  toucheth 
the  hills,  and  they  smoke. 

33  I  will  sing  unto  the  Lord 
as  long  as  I  live:  I  will  sing 
praise  to  my  God  while  I  have 
my  being. 

34  My  meditation  of  him  shall 
be  sweet :  I  will  be  glad  in  the 
Lord. 

35  Let  the  sinners  be  con- 
sumed out  of  the  earth,  and 
let  the  wicked  be  no  more. 
Bless  thou  the  Lord,  O  my 
souL    Praise  ye  the  Lord.

OGIVE  thanks  unto  the 
Lord  ;  call  upon  his  name :

7  He  is  the  Lord  our  God: 
his  judgments  are  in  all  the 
earth. 

8  He  hath  remembered  his 
covenant  for  ever,  the  word 
which  he  commanded  to  a 
thousand  generations. 

9  Which  covenant  he  made 
with  A1>rfl-ham,  and  his  oath 
unto  I'saac; 

10  And  confirmed  the  same 
unto  Ji'cob  for  a  law,  and  to 
Is/ra-el  for  an  everlasting  cove- 
nant: 

11  Saying,  Unto  thee  will  I 
give  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  the 
lot  of  your  inheritance : 

12  When  they  were  but  a 
few  men  in  number ;  yea,  very 
few,  and  strangers  in  it 

13  When  they  went  from  one 
nation  to  another,  from  one 
kingdom  to  another  people; 

14  He  suffered  no  man  to  do 
them  wrong:  yea,  he  reproved 
kings  for  their  sakes; 

15  Saying,  Touch  not  mine 
anointed,  and  do  my  prophets 
no  harm. 

16  Moreover  he  called  for 
a  famine  upon  the  land:  he 
brake  the  whole  staff  of 
bread. 

17  He  sent  a  man  before 
them,  even  Jd'seph,  who  was 
sold  for  a  servant: 

18  Whose  feet  they  hurt  with 
fetters :  he  was  laid  in  iron : 

19  Until  the  time  that  his 
word  came:  the  word  of  the 
Lord  tried  him. 

20  The  king  sent  and  loosed 
him;  even  the  ruler  of  the 
people,  and  let  him  go  free. 

21  He  made  him  lord  of  his 
house,  and  ruler  of  all  his  sub- 
stance: 

22  To  bind  his  princes  at  his 
pleasure;  and  teach  his  sena- 
tors wisdom. 

23  ls/ra-el  also  came  into 
&"gypt;  and  J&'cob  sojourned 
in  the  land  of  Ham. 

24  And  he  increased  his  peo- 
ple greatly;  and  made  them 
stronger  than  their  enemies. 

25  He  turned  their  heart  to 
hate  his  people,  to  deal  subtilly 
with  his  servants. 

26  He  sent  Mo'ges.  his  serv- 
ant; and  Aar'on  whom  he 
had  chosen. 

27  They  shewed  his  signs 
among  them,  and  wonders  in 
the  land  of  Ham. 

28  He  sent  darkness,  and 
made  it  dark;  and  they  re- 
belled not  against  his  word. 

29  He  turned  their  waters 
into  blood,  and  slew  their  fish. 

30  Their  land  brought  forth 


frogs   in    abundance,   in    the 
chambers  of  their  kings. 

31  He  spake,  and  there  came 
divers  sorts  of  flies,  and  lice  in 
all  their  coasts. 

32  He  gave  them  hail  for 
rain,  ana  flaming  fire  in  their 
land. 

33  He  smote  their  vines  also 
and  their  fig  trees ;  and  brake 
the  trees  of  their  coasts. 

34  He  spake,  and  the  locusts 
came,  and  caterpillers,  and  that 
without  number, 

35  And  did  eat  up  all  the 
herbs  in  their  land,  and  de- 
voured the  fruit  of  their 
ground. 

36  He  smote  also  all  the  first- 
born in  their  land,  the  chief  of 
all  their  strength. 

37  He  brought  them  forth 
also  with  silver  and  gold :  and 
there  was  not  one  feeble  per- 
son among  their  tribes. 

38  ftftrpt  was  glad  when 
they  departed:  for  the  fear 
of  them  fell  upon  them. 

39  He  spread  a  cloud  for  a 
covering ;  and  fire  to  give  light 
in  the  night 

40  The  people  asked,  and 
he  brought  quails,  and  satisfied 
them  with  the  bread  of  heaven. 

41  He  opened  the  rock,  and 
the  waters  gushed  out;  they 
ran  in  the  dry  places  like  a 
river. 

42  For  he  remembered  his 
holy  promise,  and  A1>rfi-ham 
his  servant 

43  And  he  brought  forth  his 
people  with  joy,  and  his  cho- 
sen with  gladness : 

44  And  gave  them  the  lands 
of  the  heathen :  and  they 
inherited  the  labour  of  the 
people ; 

45  That  they  might  observe 
his  statutes,  and  keep  his  laws. 
Praise  ye  the  Lord.

that  I  may  glory  with  thine  in- 
heritance. 

6  We  have  sinned  with  our 
fathers,  we  have  committed  in- 
iquity, we  have  done  wickedly. 

7  Our  fathers  understood  not 
thy  wonders  in  Cgjrpt ;  thev  re- 
membered not  the  multitude  of 
thy  mercies ;  but  provoked  him 
at  the  sea,  even  at  the  Red  sea. 

8  Nevertheless  he  saved  them 
for  his  name's  sake,  that  he 
might  make  his  mighty  power 
to  be  known. 

9  He  rebuked  the  Red  sea 
also,  and  it  was  dried  up :  so  he 
led  them  through  the  depths,  as 
through  the  wilderness. 

10  And  he  saved  them  from 
the  hand  of  him  that  hated 
them,  and  redeemed  them  from 
the  hand  of  the  enemy. 

11  And  the  waters  covered 
their  enemies:  there  was  not 
one  of  them  left. 

12  Then  believed  they^  his 
words;  they  sang  his  praise. 

13  They  soon  forgat  his 
works ;  they  waited  not  for  his 
counsel 

14  But  lusted  exceedingly  in 
the  wilderness,  and  tempted  God 
in  the  desert 

15  And  he  gave  them  their 
request ;  but  sent  leanness  into 
their  soul. 

16  They  envied  MO'seg  also  in 
the  camp,  and  AaVon  the  saint 
of  the  Lord. 

17  The  earth  opened  and 
swallowed  up  DS'than,  and  cov- 
ered the  company  of  A-bi'ram. 

18  And  a  fire  was  kindled 
in  their  company;  the  flame 
burned  up  the  wicked. 

19  They  made  a  calf  in  H5 
reb,  and  worshipped  the  molten 
image 

20  Thus  they  changed  their 
glorv  into  the  similitude  of  an 
ox  that  eateth  grass. 

21  They  forgat  God  their 
saviour,  which  had  done  great 
things  in  E'gypt ; 

22  Wondrous  works  in  the  land 
of  H&m,  and  terrible  things  by 
the  Red  sea. 

23  Therefore  he  said  that  he 
would  destroy  them,  had  not 
Md'sea  his  chosen  stood  before 
him  in  the  breach,  to  turn  away 
his  wrath,  lest  he  should  destroy 
them. 

24  Yea,  they  despised  the 
pleasant  land,  they  believed 
not  his  word: 

25  But  murmured  in  their 
tents,  and  hearkened  not  unto 
the  voice  of  the  Lord.

throw  them  in  the  wilderness: 

27  To  overthrow  their  seed 
also  among  the  nations,  and  to 
scatter  them  in  the  lands. 

28  They  joined  themselves  al- 
so unto  B&'al-pS'or,  and  ate  the 
sacrifices  of  the  dead. 

29  Thus  they  provoked  him 
to  anger  with  their  inventions : 
and  the  plague  brake  in  upon 
them. 

30  Then  stood  up  Phln'e-has, 
and  executed  judgment:  and  so 
the  plague  was  stayed. 

31  And  that  was  counted  unto 
him  for  righteousness  unto  all 
generations  for  evermore. 

32  They  angered  him  also  at 

the  waters  of  strife,  so  that  it  p.p.No.20.i3c 
went  ill  with  Md'sea  for  their  !p.p.De.U7. 
sakes 

33  Because  they  provoked  his 
spirit,  so  that  he  spake  unadvis- 
edly with  his  lips. 

34  They  did  not  destroy  the 
nations,  concerning  whom  the  jDe.ll.28,  Disobedience 
Lord  commanded  them : 

35  But  were  mingled  among  iNn-33-55*  Bt3 
the  heathen,  and  learned  their 
works. 

36  And  they  served  their  idols: 
which  were  a  snare  unto  them. 

37  Yea,  thev  sacrificed  their 
sons  and  their  daughters  unto 
devils, 

38  And  shed  innocent  blood, 
even  the  blood  of  their  sons  and 
of  their  daughters,  whom  they 
sacrificed  unto  the  idols  of  Ca'- 
naan:  and  the  land  was  polluted 
with  blood. 

39  Thus  were  they  defiled 
with  their  own  works,  and 
went  a  whoring  with  their  own 
inventions. 

40  Therefore  was  the  wrath 
of  the  Lord  kindled  against  his 
people,  insomuch  that  he  ab- 
horred his  own  inheritance. 

41  And  he  gave  them  into 
the  hand  of  the  heathen ;  and 
they  that  hated  them  ruled  over 
them. 

42  Their  enemies  also  op- 
pressed them,  and  they  were 
brought  into  subjection  under 
their  hand. 

43  Many  times  did  he  deliver 
them;  but  they  provoked  him 
with  their  counsel,  and  were 
brought  low  for  their  iniquity. 

44  Nevertheless  he  regarded

and  gather  us  from  among  the 
heathen,  to  give  thanks  unto 
thy  holy  name,  and  to  triumph 
in  thy  praise. 

48  Blessed  be  the  Lord  God 
of  ls/ra-el  from  everlasting  to 
everlasting :  and  let  all  the  peo- 
ple say,  A-men'.  Praise  ye  the 
Lord. 

PSALM  107 

The  psalmist  exhorts  to  praise  God, 
etc 

OGIVE  thanks  unto  the  Lord, 
for  he  is  good:  for  his  mer- 
cy endureth  for  ever. 

2  Let  the  redeemed  of  the 
Lord  say  so,  whom  he  hath  re- 
deemed from  the  hand  of  the 
enemy 

3  And  gathered  them  out  of 
the  lands,  from  the  east,  and 
from  the  west,  from  the  north, 
and  from  the  south. 

4  They^  wandered  in  the  wil- 
derness in  a  solitary  way ;  they 
found  no  city  to  dwell  in. 

5  Hungry  and  thirsty,  their 
soul  fainted  in  them. 

6  Then  thev  cried  unto  the 
Lord  in  their  trouble,  and  he 
delivered  them  out  of  their  dis- 
tresses. 

7  And  he  led  them  forth  by 
the  right  way,  that  they  might 
go  to  a  city  of  habitation. 

8  Oh  that  men  would  praise 
the  Lord  for  his  goodness,  and 
for  his  wonderful  works  to  the 
children  of  men ! 

9  For  he  satisfieth  the  longing 
sou],  and  filleth  the  hungry  soul 
with  goodness. 

10  Such  as  sit  in  darkness  and 
in  the  shadow  of  death,  being 
bound  in  affliction  and  iron ; 

11  Because  they  rebelled 
against  the  words  of  God,  and 
contemned  the  counsel  of  the 
most  High 

12  Therefore  he  brought  down 
their  heart  with  labour;  they 
fell  down,  and  there  was  none 
to  help. 

13  Then  they  cried  unto  the 
Lord  in  their  trouble,  and  he 
saved  them  out  of  their  dis- 
tresses. 

14  He  brought  them  out  of 
darkness  and  the  shadow  of 
death,  and  brake  their  bands 
in  sunder. 

15  Oh  that  men  would  praise 
the  Loud  for  his  goodness,  and 
for  his  wonderful  works  to  the 
children  of  men ! 

16  For  he  hath  broken  the 
gates  of  brass,  and  cut  the  bars 
of  iron  in  sunder. 

17  Fools    because    of     their 


transgression,  and  because  of  I  tie  to  decrease. 


their  iniquities,  are   afflicted. 

18  Their  soul  ahhorreth  all 
manner  of  meat;  and  they  draw 
near  unto  the  gates  of  death. 

19  Then  they  cry  unto  the 
Lord  in  their  trouble,  and  he 
saveth  them  out  of  their  dis- 
tresses. 

20  He  sent  his  word,  and 
healed  them,  and  delivered 
them  from  their  destructions. 

21  Oh  that  men  would  praise 
the  LoRDjbr  his  goodness,  and 
for  his  wonderful  works  to  the 
children  of  men ! 

22  And  let  them  sacrifice  the 
sacrifices  of  thanksgiving;,  and 
declare  his  works  with  rejoicing. 

23  They  that  go  down  to  the 
sea  in  ships,  that  do  business  in 
great  waters ; 

24  These  see  the  works  of  the 
Lord,  and  his  wonders  in  the 
deep. 

25  For  he  commandeth,  and 
raiseth  the  stormy  wind,  which 
lifteth  up  the  waves  thereof. 

26  They  mount  up  to  the 
heaven,  they  go  down  again 
to  the  depths:  their  soul  is 
melted  because  of  trouble 

27  They  reel  to  and  fro,  and 
stagger  like  a  drunken  man,  and 
are  at  their  wit's  end. 

28  Then  they  cry  unto  the 
Lord  in  their  trouble,  and  he 
bringeth  them  out  of  their  dis- 
tresses. 

29  He   maketh   the  storm 
calm,  so  that  the  waves  thereof 
are  still. 

30  Then  are  they  glad  because 
they  be  quiet ;  so  he  bringeth 
them  unto  their  desired  haven. 

31  Oh  that  men  would  praise 
the  Lord  for  his  goodness,  and 
for  his  wonderful  works  to  the 
children  of  men ! 

32  Let  them  exalt  him  also  in 
the  congregation  of  the  people, 
and  praise  him  in  the  assembly 
of  the  elders. 

33  He  turneth  rivers  into 
a  wilderness,  and  the  water- 
springs  into  dry  ground; 

34  A  fruitful  land  into  barren- 
ness, for  the  wickedness  of  them 
that  dwell  therein. 

35  He  turneth  the  wilderness 
into  a  standing  water,  and  dry 
ground  into  watersprings. 

36  And  there  he  maketh  the 
hungry  to  dwell,  that  they  may 
prepare  a  city  for  habitation ; 

37  And  sow  the  fields,  and 
plant  vineyards,  which  may 
yield  fruits  of  increase. 

38  He  blesseth  them  also,  so 
that  they  are  multiplied  great- 
ly ;  and  suffereth  not  their  cat

PSALM  108 

David  prays  for  God's  help  accord' 
ing  to  his  promise. 

A  Song  or  Psalm  of  Da'vid. 

OGOD,  my  heart  is  fixed;  I 
will  sing  and  give  praise, 
even  with  my  glory. 

2  Awake,  psaltery  and  harp: 
I  myself  will  awake  early. 

3  I  will  praise  thee,  O  Lord, 
among  the  people:  and  I  will 
sing  praises  unto  thee  among 
the  nations. 

4  For  thy  mercy  is  great 
above  the  heavens:  and  thy 
truth  reacheth  unto  the  clouds. 

5  Be  thou  exalted,  O  God, 
above  the  heavens:  and  thy 
glory  above  all  the  earth; 

6  That  thy  beloved  may  be 
delivered:  save  with  thy  right 
hand,  and  answer  me. 

7  God  hath  spoken  in  his  holi- 
ness ;  I  will  rejoice,  I  will  divide 
She'chem,  and  mete  out  the 
valley  of  Sfic'coth. 

8  Gll'e-fid  is  mine;  MS-nfis'seh 
is  mine ;  E'phrfi-im  also  is  the 
strength  of  mine  head;  Ju'dah 
is  my  lawgiver; 

9  M5'ab  is  my  washpot;  over 
E'dom  will  I  cast  out  my  shoe; 
over  Phi-lis'tia  will  I  triumph. 

10  Who  will  bring  me  into  the 
strong  city?  who  will  lead  me 
intoE'dom? 

11  Wilt  not  thou,  O  God,  who 
hast  cast  us  off  ?  and  wilt  not 
thou,  O  God,  go  forth  with  our 
hosts? 

12  Give  us  help  from  trouble 
for  vain  is  the  help  of  man. 

13  Through  God  we  shall  do 
valiantly :  for  he  it  is  that  shall 
tread  down  our  enemies. 

PSALM  109 

David  complains  of  his 
To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 
of  Dfi'vid. 

HOLD  not  thy  peace,  O  God 
of  my  praise; 
2  For  the  mouth  of  the  wicked 


and  the  mouth  of  the  deceitful  jPs.5.9.  Evil  SpcadL 

P.J6J.  Deceit  <r. 


are  opened  against  me:  they 
have  spoken  against  me  with  a 
lying  tongue. 

3  They  compassed  me  about 
also  with  words  of  hatred; 
and  fought  against  me  without 
a  cause. 

4  For  my  love  they  are  my 
adversaries:  but  I  give  myself 
unto  prayer. 

5  And  they  have  rewarded  me 
evil  for  good,  and  hatred  for 
my  love. 

6  Set  thou  a  wicked  man  over 
him:  and  let  Si'tan  stand  at 
his  right  hand. 

7  When  he  shall  be  judged, 
let  him  be  condemned :  and  let 
his  prayer  become  sin. 

8  Let  his  days  be  few;  and 
let  another  take  his  office. 

9  Let  his  children  be  father- 
less, and  his  wife  a  widow. 

10  Let  his  children  be  contin 
ually  vagabonds,  and  beg:  let 
them  seek  their  bread  also  out 
of  their  desolate  places. 

11  Let  the  extortioner  catch 
all  that  he  hath;  and  let  the 
strangers  spoil  his  labour. 

12  Let  there  be  none  to  ex- 
tend mercy  unto  him:  neither 
let  there  be  any  to  favour  his 
fatherless  children. 

13  Let  his  posterity  be  cut  off; 
and  in  the  generation  follow- 
ing let  their  name  be  blotted 
out 

14  Let  the  iniquity  of  his 
fathers  be  remembered  with 
the  Lord;  and  let  not  the  sin 
of  his  mother  be  blotted  out 

15  Let  them  be  before  the 
Lord  continually,  that  he  may 
cut  off  the  memory  of  them 
from  the  earth. 

16  Because  that  he  remem- 
bered not  to  shew  mercy,  but 
persecuted  the  poor  and  needy 
man,  that  he  might  even  slay 
the  broken  in  heart 

17  As  he  loved  cursing,  so  let 
it  come  unto  him:  as  he  de- 
lighted not  in  blessing,  so  let  it 
be  far  from  him. 

18  As  he  clothed  himself  with 
cursing  like  as  with  his  gar- 
ment, so  let  it  come  into  his 
bowels  like  water,  and  like  oil 
into  his  bones. 

19  Let  it  be  unto  him  as  the 
garment  which'  covereth  him, 
and  for  a  girdle  wherewith  he  is 
girded  continually. 

20  Let  this  be  the  reward 
of  mine  adversaries  from  the 
Lord,  and  of  them  that  speak 
evil  against  my  soul 

21  But  do  thou  for  me,  O  God 
the  Lord,  for  thy  name's  sake :

because  thy  mercy  is  good*  de- 
liver thou  me. 

22  For  I  am  poor  and  needy, 
and  my  heart  is  wounded  within 
me. 

23  I  am  gone  like  the  shadow 
when  it  declineth :  I  am  tossed 
up  and  down  as  the  locust 

24  My  knees  are  weak  through 
fasting ;  and  my  flesh  f aileth  of 
fatness. 

25  I  became  also  a  reproach 
unto  them :  when  they  looked 
upon  me  they  shaked  their 
heads. 

26  Help  me,  O  Lord  my  God : 
0  save  me  according  to  thy 
mercy: 

27  That  they  may  know  that 
this  is  thy  hand;  that  thou, 
Lord,  hast  done  it 

28  Let  them  curse,  but  bless 
thou:  when  they  arise,  let  them 
be  ashamed ;  but  let  thy  servant 
rejoice. 

29  Let  mine  adversaries  be 
clothed  with  shame,  and  let 
them  cover  themselves  with 
their  own  confusion,  as  with  a 
mantle. 

30  I  will  greatly  praise  the 
Lord  with  my  mouth;  yea,  I 
will  praise  him  among  the  mul 
titude. 

31  For  he  shall  stand  at  the 
right  hand  of  the  poor,  to  save 
htm  from  those  that  condemn 
his  soul. 

PSALM  110 

The  kingdom,  4  the  priesthood,  5 
the  conquest,  7  and  the  pa— ion 
of  Christ. 

A  Psalm  of  Da'vid. 

THE  Lord  said  unto  my  Lord, 
Sit  thou  at  my  right  hand, 
until  I  make  thine  enemies  thy 
footstool. 

2  The  Lord  shall  send  the  rod 
of  thy  strength  out  of  Zi'fin _ 
rule  thou  in  the  midst  of  thine 
enemies. 

3  Thy  people  shall  be  willing 
in  the  day  of  thy  power,  in  the 
beauties  of  holiness  from  the 
womb  of  the  morning:  thou  hast 
the  dew  of  thy  youth. 

4  The  Lord  hath  sworn,  and 
will  not  repent,  Thou  art  a  priest 
for  ever  after  the  order  of  Mel- 
chfc'e-delc. 

5  The  Lord  at  thy  right  hand 
shall  strike  through  kings  in  the 
day  of  his  wrath. 

6  He  shall  judge  among  the 
heathen,  he  shall  fill  the  places 
with  the  dead  bodies ;  he  shall 
wound  the  heads  over  many 
countries. 

7  He  shall  drink  of  the  brook 
in  the  way :  therefore  shall  he 
lilt  up  the  head. 


PSALM  111 

The  psalmist  incite*  to  praise  God, 

FLAISE  ye  the  Lord.  I  will 
praise  the  Lord  with  my 
whole  heart,  in  the  assembly  of 
the  upright,  and  in  the  congre- 
gation.* 

2  The  works  of  the  Lord  are 
great,  sought  out  of  all  them 
that*  have  pleasure  therein. 

3  His  work  is  honourable  and 
glorious :  and  his  righteousness 
endureth  for  ever. 

4  He  hath  made  his  wonderful 
works  to  be  remembered:  the 
Lord  is  gracious  and  full  of 
compassion. 

5  He  hath  given  meat  unto 
them  that  fear  him :  he  will  ever 
be  mindful  of  his  covenant 

6  He  hath  shewed  his  people 
the  power  of  his  works,  that  he 
may  give  them  the  heritage  of 
the  heathen. 

7  The  works  of  his  hands 
are  verity  and  judgment;  all  his 
commandments  are  sure. 

8  They  stand  fast  for  ever  and 
ever,  and  are  done  in  truth  and 
uprightness. 

9  He  sent  redemption  unto  his 
people :  he  hath  commanded  his 
covenant  for  ever:  holy  and  rev- 
erend is  his  name. 

10  The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  the 
beginning  of  wisdom:  a  good 
understanding   have   all   they 
that  do  his  commandments 
his  praise  endureth  for  ever.

PSALM  113 

Exhortation  to  praise  Goo". 

PRAISE  ye  the  Lord.  Praise, 
O  ye  servants  of  the  Lord, 
praise  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

2  Blessed  be  the  name  of  the 
Lord  from  this  time  forth  and 
for  evermore. 

3  From  the  rising  of  the  sun 
unto  the  going  down  of  the 
same  the  Lord's  name  is  to  be 
praised. 

4  The  Lord  is  high  above 
all  nations,  and  his  glory  above 
the  heavens. 

5  Who  is  like  unto  the 
Lord  our  God,  who  dwelleth 
on  high, 

6  Who  humbleth  himself  to 
behold  the  things  that  are  in 
heaven,  and  in  the  earth  I 

7  He  raiseth  up  the  poor  out 
of  the  dust,  and  lifteth  the 
needy  out  of  the  dunghill; 

8  That  he  may  set  him  with 
princes,  even  with  the  princes 
of  his  people. 

9  He  maketh  the  barren 
woman  to  keep  house,  and  to 
be  a  joyful  mother  of  children. 
Praise  ye  the  Lord. 

PSALM  114 

Exhortation  to  fear  God. 

WHEN  Is'ra-el  went  out  of 
E'gftrt,  the  house  of  Ja- 
cob from  a  people  of  strange 
language; 

2  Ju'dah  was  his  sanctuary, 
and  Is/ra-el  his  dominion. 

3  The  sea  saw  it,  and  fled: 
Jdr'dan  was  driven  back. 

4  The  mountains  skipped  like 
rams,  and  the  little  hills  like 
lambs. 

5  What  ailed  thee,  O  thou 
sea,  that  thou  fleddest?  thou 
Jdr'dan,  that  thou  wast  driven 
back? 

6  Ye  mountains,  that  ye 
skipped  like  rams;  and  ye  lit- 
tle hills,  like  lambs? 

7  Tremble,  thou  earth,  at  the 
presence  of  the  Lord,  at  the 
presence  of  the  God  of  Jfi'cob ; 

8  Which  turned  the  rock  in- 
to a  standing  water,  the  flint 
into  a  fountain  of  waters. 

PSALM  115 
God  intreated  to  assert  hie  honour. 

NOT  unto  us,  0  Lord,  not 
unto   us,   but    unto   thy 


name  give  glory,  for  thy  mer- 
cy, and  for  thy  truth's  sake. 

2  Wherefore  should  the  hea- 
then say,  Where  is  now  then- 
God? 

3  Bat  our  God  is  in  the 
heavens:  he  hath  done  whatso- 
ever he  hath  pleased. 

4  Their  idols  are  silver  and 
gold,  the  work  of  men's  hands. 

5  They  have  mouths,  but 
they  speak  not:  eyes  have 
they,  but  they  see  not : 

6  They  have  ears,  but  they 
hear  not:  noses  have  they,  but 
they  smell  not: 

7  They  have  hands,  but  they 
handle  not:  feet  have  they, 
but  they  walk  not:  neither 
speak  they  through  their 
throat. 

8  They  that  make  them  are 
like  unto  them;  so  is  every 
one  that  trusteth  in  them. 

9  O  ls/ra-el,  trust  thou  in 
the  Lord  :  he  is  their  help  and 
their  shield. 

10  O  house  of  AaVon,  trust 
in  the  Lord:  he  is  their  help 
and  their  shield. 

11  Ye  that  fear  the  Lord, 
trust  in  the  Lord  :  he  is  their 
help  and  their  shield. 

12  The  Lord  hath  been  mind- 
ful of  us:  he  will  bless  us; 
he  will  bless  the  house  of 
ls/ra-el ;  he  will  bless  the  house 
of  Aar'on. 

13  He  will  bless  them  that 
fear  the  Lord,  both  small  and 
great 

14  The  Lord  shall  increase 
you  more  and  more,  you  and 
your  children. 

15  Ye  are  blessed  of  the 
Lord  which  made  heaven  and 
earth. 

16  The  heaven,  even  the 
heavens,  are  the  Lord's:  but 
the  earth  hath  he  given  to 
the  children  of  men. 

17  The  dead  praise  not  the 
Lord,  neither  any  that  go 
down  into  silence. 

18  But  we  will  bless  the 
Lord  from  this  time  forth 
and  for  evermore.  Praise  the 
Lord* 

PSALM  116 

Hut  psalmist  professes  his  love  to 
God. 

I  LOVE  the  Lord,  because  he 
hath  heard  my  voice  and 
my  supplications. 

2  Because  he  hath  inclined 
his  ear  unto  me,  therefore  will 
I  call  upon  him  as  long  as  I  live. 

3  The  sorrows  of  death  com- 
passed me,  and  the  pains  of 
hell  gat  hold  upon  me :  I  found 
trouble  and  sorrow.

name  of  the  Lord;  0  Lord,  I 
beseech  thee,  deliver  my  soul. 

5  Gracious  is  the  Lord,  and 
righteous;  yea,  our  God  is 
merciful. 

6  The  Lord  presenreth  the 
simple:  I  was  brought  low, 
and  he  helped  me. 

7  Return  unto  thy  rest,  O  mv 
soul;  for  the  Lord  hath  dealt 
bountifully  with  thee. 

8  For  thou  hast  delivered  my 
soul  from  death,  mine  eyes 
from  tears,  and  my  feet  from 
falling. 

9  I  will  walk  before  the  Lord 
in  the  land  of  the  living. 

10  I  believed,  therefore  have 
I  spoken:  I  was  greatly  af- 
flicted: 

11  I  said  in  my  haste,  All 
men  are  liars. 

12  What  shall  I  render  unto 
the  Lord  for  all  his  benefits 
toward  me  ? 

13  I  will  take  the  cup  of  sal- 
vation, and  call  upon  the  name 
of  the  Lord. 

14  I  will  pay  my  vows  unto 
the  Lord  now  in  the  presence 
of  all  his  people. 

15  Precious  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord  is  the  death  of  his 
saints. 

16  0  Lord,  truly  I  am  thy 
servant ;  I  am  thy  servant,  ana 
the  son  of  thine  handmaid: 
thou  hast  loosed  my  bonds. 

17  I  will  offer  to  thee  the 
sacrifice  of  thanksgiving,  and 
will  call  upon  the  name  of  the 
Lord. 

18  I  will  pay  my  vows  unto 
the  Lord  now  in  the  presence 
of  all  his  people, 

19  In  the  courts  of  the  Lord's 
house,  in  the  midst  of  thee,  O 
Jfe-ru'sfi-lem.  Praise  ye  the 
Lord. 

PSALM  117 

Exhortation  to  prate*  God. 

0  PRAISE  the  Lord,  all  ye 
nations:  praise  him,  all  ye 
people. 

2  For  his  merciful  kindness  is 
great  toward  us:  and  the  truth 
of  the  Lord  endureth  for  ever. 
Praise  ye  the  Lord. 

PSALM  118 

Exhortation  to  praise  God  for  his 
mercy. 

OGIVE  thanks  unto  the 
Lord;  f or  he  is  good:  be- 
cause his  mercy  endureth  for 
ever. 

2  Let  Is/ra-el  now  say,  that 
his  mercy  endureth  for  ever. 

3  Let  the  house  of  AaVon 
now  say,  that  his  mercy  en- 
dureth for  ever. 


4  Let  them  now  that  fear  the 
Lord  say,  that  his  mercy  en- 
dureth for  ever. 

5  I  called  upon  the  Lord  in 
distress:  the  Lord  answered 
me,  and  net  me  in  a  large 
place. 

6  The  Lord  is  on  my  side ;  I 
will  not  fear:  what  can  man 
do  unto  me? 

7  The  Lord  taketh  my  part 
with  them  that  help  me :  there- 
fore shall  I  see  my  desire  upon 
them  that  hate  me. 

8  It  is  better  to  trust  in  the 
Lord  than  to  put  confidence 
in  man. 

9  It  is  better  to  trust  in  the 
Lord  than  to  put  confidence 
in  princes. 

10  All  nations  compassed  me 
about :  but  in  the  name  of  the 
Lord  will  I  destroy  them. 

11  They  compassed  me  about ; 
yea,  they  compassed  me  about: 
but  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  I 
will  destroy  them. 

12  They  compassed  me  about 
like  bees;  they  are  quenched 
as  the  fire  of  thorns:  for  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord  I  will  de- 
stroy them. 

13  Thou  hast  thrust  sore  at 
me  that  I  might  fall:  but  the 
Lord  helped  me. 

14  The  Lord  is  my  strength 
and  song,  and  is  become  my 
salvation. 

15  The  voice  of  rejoicing  and 
salvation  is  in  the  tabernacles 
of  the.  righteous:  the  right 
hand  of  the  Lord  doeth  val- 
iantly. 

16  The  right  hand  of  the 
Lord  is  exalted :  the  right  hand 
of  the  Lord  doeth  valiantly. 

17  I  shall  not  die,  but  live, 
and  declare  the  works  of  the 
Lord. 

18  The  Lord  hath  chastened 
me  sore:  but  he  hath  not 
given  me  over  unto  death. 

19  Open  to  me  the  gates  of 
righteousness:  I  will  go  into 
them,  and  I  will  praise  the 
Lord: 

20  This  gate  of  the  Lord, 
into  which  the  righteous  shall 
enter. 

21  I  will  praise  thee :  for  thou 
hast  heard  me,  and  art  become 
my  salvation. 

22  The  stone  which  the  build- 
ers refused  is  become  the  head 
stone  of  the  corner. 

23  This  is  the  Lord's  doing; 
it  is  marvellous  in  our  eyes. 

24  This  is  the  day  which  the 
Lord  hath  made;  we  will  re- 
joice and  be  glad  in  it 

25  Save  now,  I  beseech  thee,

3  They  also  do  no  iniquity 
they  walk  in  his  ways. 

4  Thou  hast  commanded  us 
to  keep  thy  precepts  diligently. 

5  O  that  my  ways  were  direct-

6  Then  shall  I  not  be  ashamed, 
when  I  have  respect  unto  all  thy 
commandments. 

7  I  will  praise  thee  with  up-

VAU. 

41  Let  thy  mercies  come  also 
unto  me,  O  Lord,  even  thy  sal- 
vation, according  to  thy  word. 

42  So  shall  I  have  wherewith 
to  answer  him  that  reproacheth 
me :  for  I  trust  in  thy  word. 

43  And  take  not  the  word  of 
truth  utterly  out  of  my  mouth ; 
for  I  have  hoped  in  thy  judg- 
ments. 

44  So  shall  I  keep  thy  law  con- 
tinually for  ever  and  ever. 

45  And  I  will  walk  at  liberty : 
for  I  seek  thy  precepts. 

46  I  will  speak  or  thy  testi- 
monies also  before  kings,  and 
will  not  be  ashamed. 

47  And  I  will  delight  myself 
in  thy  commandments,  which  I 
have  loved. 

48  My  hands  also  will  I  lift  up 
unto  thy  commandments,  which 
I  have  loved ;  and  I  will  medi- 
tate in  thy  statutes. 

ZAIN. 

49  Remember  the  word  unto 
thy  servant,  upon  which  thou 
hast  caused  me  to  hope. 

50  This  is  my  comfort  in  my 
affliction:  for  thy  word  hath 
quickened  me. 

51  The  proud  have  had  me 
greatly  in  derision:  yet  have  I 
not  declined  from  thy  law. 

52  I  remembered  thy  judg- 
ments of  old,  O  Lord;  and 
have  comforted  myself. 

53  Horror  hath  taken  hold 
upon  me  because  of  the  wick- 
ed that  forsake  thy  law. 

54  Thy  statutes  have  been 
my  songs  in  the  house  of  my 
pilgrimage.  * 

55  1  have  remembered  thy 
name,  0  Lord,  in  the  night, 
and  have  kept  thy  law. 

56  This  I  had,  because  I  kept 
thy  precepts. 

CHETH. 

57  Thou  art  my  portion,  O 
Lord  :  I  have  said  that  I  would 
keep  thy  words. 

58  I  intreated  thy  favour  with 
my  whole  heart:  be  merciful 
unto  me  according  to  thy  word. 

59  I  thought  on  my  ways,  and 
turned  my  feet  unto  thy  testi- 
monies. 

60  I  made  haste,  and  delayed 
not  to  keep  thy  commandments. 

61  The  bands  of  the  wicked 
have  robbed  me :  tot  I  have  not 
forgotten  thy  law. 

62  At  midnight  I  will  rise  to 
give  thanks  unto  thee  because 
of  thy  righteous  judgments. 

63  1  am  a  companion  of  all 
them  that  fear  thee,  and  of 
them  that  keep  thy  precepts. 

64  The  earth,  0  Lord,  is  full 


of  thy  mercy:  teach  me  thy 
statutes. 

65  Thou  hast  dealt  well  with 
thy  servant,  O  Lord,  according 
unto  thy  word. 

66  Teach  me  good  judgment 
and  knowledge:  for  I  have  be- 
lieved thy  commandments. 

67  Before  I  was  afflicted  I 
went  astray:  but  now  have  I 
kept  thy  word. 

68  Thou  art  good,  and  doest 
good ;  teach  me  thy  statutes. 

69  The  proud  have  forged  a 
lie  against  me:  but  I  will  keep 
thy  precepts  with  my  whole 
heart 

70  Their  heart  is  as  fat  as 
grease ;  but  I  delight  in  thy  law, 

71  It  is  good  for  me  that  I 
have  been  afflicted;  that  I 
might  learn  thy  statutes. 

72  The  law  of  thy  mouth  is 
better  unto  me  than  thousands

73  Thy  hands  have  made  me 
and  fashioned  me:  give  me  un- 
derstanding, that  I  may  learn 
thy  commandments. 

74  They  that  fear  thee  will 
be  glad  when  they  see  me; 
because  I  have  hoped  in  thy 
word. 

75  I  know,  O  Lord,  that  thy 
judgments  are  right,  and  that 
thou  in  faithfulness  hast  afflict- 
ed me. 

76  Let,  I  pray  thee,  thy  merci- 
ful kindness  be  for  my  comfort, 
according  to  thy  word  unto  thy 
servant. 

77  Let    thy    tender    mercies 
come  unto  me,  that  I  may  live 
for  thy  law  is  my  delight. 

78  Let  the  proud  be  ashamed ; 
for  they  dealt  perversely  with 
me  without  a  cause :  but  I  will 
meditate,  in  thy  precepts. 

79  Let  those  that  fear  thee 
turn  unto  me,  and  those  that 
have  known  thy  testimonies. 

80  Let  my  heart  be  sound  in 
thy  statutes;  that  I  be  not 
ashamed. 

CAPH. 

81  My  soul  fainteth  for  thy 
salvation:  but  I  hope  in  thy 
word. 

82  Mine  eyes  fail  for  thy  word, 
saying.  When  wilt  thou  comfort 
me? 

83  For  I  am  become  like  a 
bottle  in  the  smoke;  yet  do  I 
not  forget  thy  statutes. 

84  How  many  are  the  days  of 
thy  servant?  when  wilt  thou 
execute  judgment  on  them  that 
persecute  me  ? 

85  The  proud  have  digged  pits

for  me,  which  are  not  after  thy 
law. 

86  All  thy  commandments 
are  faithful :  they  persecute  me 
wrongfully;  help  thou  me. 

87  They  had  almost  consumed 
me  upon  earth;  but  I  forsook 
not  thy  precepts. 

88  Quicken  me  after  thy  lov- 
ingkindness ;  so  shall  I  keep  the 
testimony  of  thy  mouth. 

LAMED. 

89  For  ever,  O  Lord,  thy  word 
is  settled  in  heaven. 

90  Thy  faithfulness  is  unto 
all  generations:  thou  hast  es- 
tablished the  earth,  and  it  abid- 
eth. 

91  They  continue  this  day  ac- 
cording to  thine  ordinances :  for 
all  are  thy  servants. 

92  Unless  thy  law  had  been 
my  delights,  I  should  then  have 
perished  in  mine  affliction. 

93  I  will  never  forget  thy  pre- 
cepts: for  with  them  thou  hast 
quickened  me. 

94  I  am  thine,  save  me ;  for  I 
have  sought  thy  precepts. 

95  The  wicked  have  waited 
for  me  to  destroy  me :  but  I  will 
consider  thy  testimonies. 

%  1  have  seen  an  end  of  ail 
perfection:  but  thy  command- 
ment is  exceeding  broad. 

MEM. 

97  O  how  love  I  thy  law !  it  is 
my  meditation  all  the  day. 

98  Thou  through  thy  com- 
mandments hast  made  me  wiser 
than  mine  enemies:  for  they 
are  ever  with  me. 

99  I  have  more  understanding 
than  all  my  teachers:  for  thy 
testimonies  are  my  meditation. 

100  I  understand  more  than 
the  ancients,  because  I  keep 
thy  precepts. 

101  I  have  refrained  my  feet 
from  every  evil  way,  that  I 
might  keep  thy  word. 

102  I  have  not  departed  from 
thy  judgments :  for  thou  hast 
taught  me. 

103  How  sweet  are  thy  words 
unto  my  taste!  yea,  sweeter 
than  honey  to  my  mouth ! 

104  Through  thy  precepts  I 
get  understanding:  therefore  I 
hate  every  false  way. 

NUN. 

105  Thy  word  is  a  lamp  unto 
my  feet,  and  a  light  unto  my 
path. 

106  I  have  sworn,  and  I  will 
perform  it,  that  I  will  keep  thy 
righteous  judgments. 

107  I  am  afflicted  very  much: 
quicken  me,  O  Lord,  according 
unto  thy  word. 

108  Accent,   I  beseech  thee, 


the  freewill  offerings  of  my 
mouth,  O  Lord,  and  teach  me 
thy  judgments. 

109  My  soul  is  continually  in 
my  hand:  yet  do  I  not  forget 
thy  law. 

110  The  wicked  have  laid  a 
snare  for  me:  yet  I  erred  not 
from  thy  precepts. 

111  Thy  testimonies  have  I 
taken  as  an  heritage  for  ever : 
for  they  are  the  rejoicing  of  my 
heart 

112  I  have  inclined  mine  heart 
to  perform  thy  statutes  alway, 
even  unto  the  end. 

SAMECH. 

113  I  hate  vain  thoughts:  but 
thy  law  do  I  love. 

114  Thou  art  my  hiding  place 
and  my  shield :  I  hope  in  thy 
word. 

115  Depart  from  me,  ye  evil- 
doers :  for  I  will  keep  the  com- 
mandments of  my  God. 

116  Uphold  me  according  unto 
thy  word,  that  I  may  live:  and 
let  me  not  be  ashamed  of  my 
hope. 

117  Hold  thou  me  up,  and  I 
shall  be  safe:  and  I  will  have 
respect  unto  thy  statutes  con- 
tinually. 

118  Thou  hast  trodden  down 
all  them  that  err  from  thy  stat- 
utes: for  their  deceit  is  false- 
hood. 

119  Thou  puttest  away  all  the 
wicked  of  the  earth  like  dross : 
therefore  I  love  thy  testimonies. 

120  My  flesh  trembleth  for 
fear  of  thee;  and  I  am  afraid 
of  thy  judgments. 

AIN. 

121  I  have  done  judgment 
and  justice:  leave  me  not  to 
mine  oppressors. 

122  Be  surety  for  thy  servant 
for  good :  let  not  the  proud  op- 
press me. 

123  Mine  eyes  fail  for  thy  sal- 
vation, and  for  the  word  of  thy 
righteousness. 

124  Deal  with  thy  servant  ac- 
cording unto  thy  mercy,  and 
teach  me  thy  statutes. 

125  I  am  thy  servant;  give 
me  understanding;  that  I  may 
know  thy  testimonies. 

126  It  ts  time  for  t?iee,LQKD, 
to  work:  for  they  have  made 
void  thy  law. 

127  Therefore  I  love  thy  com. 
mandments  above  gold;  yea, 
above  fine  gold. 

128  Therefore  I  esteem  all  thy 
precepts  concerning  all  things 
to  be  right;  and  I  hate  every 
false  way.

keep  them. 

130  The  entrance  of  thy  words 
giveth  light;  it  giveth  under- 
standing nnto  the  simple. 

131  I  opened  my  month,  and 
panted:  for  I  longed  for  thy 
commandments. 

132  Look  thou  upon  me,  and 
he  merciful  unto  me,  as  thou 
usest  to  do  unto  those  that  love 
thy  name. 

133  Order  my  steps  in  thy 
word :  and  let  not  any  iniquity 
have  dominion  over  me. 

134  Deliver  me  from  the  op- 
pression of  man:  so  will  I  keep 
thy  precepts. 

135  Make  thy  face  to  shine 
upon  thy  servant;  and  teach 
me  thy  statutes. 

136  Rivers  of  waters  run  down 
mine  eyes,  because  they  keep 
not  thy  law. 

TZADDL 

137  Righteous  art  thou,  0 
Lord,  and  upright  are  thy  judg- 
ments. 

138  Thy  testimonies  that  thou 
hast  commanded  are  righteous 
and  very  faithf uL 

139  My  zeal  hath  consumed 
me,  because  mine  enemies  have 
forgotten  thy  words. 

140  Thy  word  is  very  pure: 
therefore  thy  servant  loveth  it 

141  I  am  small  and  despised: 
yet  do  not  I  forget  thy  precepts. 

142  Thy  righteousness  is  an 
everlasting  righteousness,  and 
thy  law  is  the  truth. 

143  Trouble  and  anguish  have 
taken  hold  on  me :  yet  thy  com- 
mandments are  my  delights. 

144  The  righteousness  of  thy 
testimonies  is  everlasting :  give 
me  understanding,  and  I  shall 
live. 

KOPH. 

145  I  cried  with  my  whole 
heart;  hear  me,  0  Lord :  I  will 
keep  thy  statutes. 

146  I  cried  unto  thee;  save 
me,  and  I  shall  keep  thy  testi- 
monies. 

147  I  prevented  the  dawning 
of  the  morning,  and  cried:  I 
hoped  in  thy  word. 

148  Mine  eyes  prevent  the 
night  watches,  that  I  might 
meditate  in  thy  word. 

149  Hear  my  voice  according 
unto  thy  lovingkindness :  0 
Lord,  quicken  me  according 
to  thy  judgment 

150  They  draw  nigh  that  fol 
low  after  mischief:  they  are 
far  from  thy  law. 

151  Thou  art  near,  O  Lord; 
and  all  thy  commandments  are 
truth. 


152  Concerning  thy  testimo- 
nies, I  have  known  of  old  that 
thou  hast  founded  them  for 
ever. 


153  Consider  mine  affliction, 
and  deliver  me:  for  I  do  not 
forget  thy  law. 

154  Plead  mv  cause,  and  de- 
liver me :  quicken  me  according 
to  thy  word. 

155  Salvation  is  far  from  the 
wicked :  for  they  seek  not  thy 
statutes. 

156  Great  are  thy  tender  mer- 
cies, O  Lord:  quicken  me  ac- 
cording to  thy  judgments. 

157  Many  are  my  persecutors 
and  mine  enemies ;  yet  do  I  not 
decline  from  thy  testimonies. 

158  I  beheld  the  trangressors, 
and  was  grieved ;  because  they 
kept  not  thy  word. 

159  Consider  how  I  love  thy 
precepts :  quicken  me,  O  Lord, 
according  to  thy  lovingkind- 
ness. 

160  Thy  word  is  true  from 
the  beginning:  and  every  one 
of  thy  righteous  judgments  en- 
dureth  for  ever. 

8CH1N. 

161  Princes  have  persecuted 
me  without  a  cause:  but  my 
heart  standeth  in  awe  of  thy 
word. 

162  I  rejoice  at  thy  word,  as 
one  that  nndeth  great  spoil. 

163  I  hate  and  abhor  lying: 
but  thy  law  do  I  love. 

164  Seven  times  a  day  do  I 
praise  thee  because  of  thy  right- 
eous judgments. 

165  Great  peace  have  they 
which  love  thy  law :  and  noth- 
ing shall  offend  them. 

166  Lord,  I  have  hoped  for 
thy  salvation,  and  done  thy 
commandments. 

167  My  soul  hath  kept .  thy 
testimonies;  and  I  love  them 
exceedingly. 

168  I  have  kept  thy  precepts 
and  thy  testimonies:  for  all  my 
ways  are  before  thee. 

TAU. 

169  Let  my  cry  come  near  be- 
fore thee,  0  Lord:  give  me 
understanding  according  to  thy 
word. 

170  Let  my  supplication  come 
before  thee :  deliver  me  accord 
ing  to  thy  word. 

171  My  lips  shall  utter  praise, 
when  thou  hast  taught  me  thy 
statutes. 

172  My  tongue  shall  speak  of 
thy  word :  for  all  thy  command 
ments  are  righteousness.

for  I  have  chosen  thy  precepts.

shall  praise  thee;  and  let  thy

David  pray*  against  Doeg,  who** 
calumnies  had  driven  him  among 
stranger*. 

A  Song  of  degrees. 

IN  my  distress  I  cried  unto  the 
Lord,  and  he  heard  me. 

2  Deliver  my  soul,  0  Lord, 
from  lying  lips,  and  from  a  de- 
ceitful tongue. 

3  What  shall  be  given  unto 
thee?  or  what  shall  be  done 
unto  thee,  thou  false  tongue?

6  My  soul  hath  long  dwelt  with 
him  that  hateth  peace. 

7  I  am  far  peace:  but  when  I

PSALM  121 

Safety  of  the  godly,  who  put  their 

trust  in  God1*  protection, 

A  Song  of  degrees. 

I  WILL  lift  up  mine  eyes  unto 
the  hills,  from  whence  com* 
eth  my  help. 

2  My  help  cometh  from  the 
Lord,  which  made  heaven  and 
earth. 

3  He  will  not  suffer  thy  foot 
to  be  moved :  he  that  keepeth 
thee  will  not  slumber. 

4  Behold,  he  that  keepeth  !$'- 
ra-el  shall  neither  slumber  nor 
sleep. 

5  The  Lord  is  thy  keeper: 
the  Lord  is  thy  shade  upon  thy 
right  hand. 

6  The  sun  shall  not  smite  thee 
by  day,  nor  the  moon  by  night. 

7  The  Lord  shall  preserve 
thee  from  all  evil :  he  shall  pre- 
serve thy  souL 

8  The  Lord  shall  preserve  thy 
going  out  and  thy  coming  in 
from  this  time  forth,  and  even 
for  evermore. 

PSALM  122 

David  prof  esse*  hi*  joy  for  the  church, 
A  Song  of  degrees  of  Dfi'vid. 

I  WAS  glad  when  they  said 
unto  me,  Let  us  go  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

2  Our  feet  shall  stand  within 
thy  gates,  O  Je-ru'sa-lSm. 

3  Jd-ru'sH-lSm  is  builded  as  a 
city  that  is  compact  together: 


4  Whither  the  tribes  go  up,  the 
tribes  of  the  Lord,  unto  the  tes- 
timony of  Is/ra-el,  to  give  thanks 
unto  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

5  For  there  are  set  thrones  of 
judgment,  the  thrones  of  the 
house  of  Dfi'vid. 

6  Pray  for  the  peace  of  Je-rg'- 
s&4em :  they  shall  prosper  that 
love  thee. 

7  Peace  be  within  thy  walls, 
and  prosperity  within  thy  pal- 
aces. 

8  For  my  brethren  and  com- 
panions' sakes,  I  will  now  say, 
Peace  be  within  thee. 

9  Because  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord  our  God  I  will  seek  thy 
good. 

PSALM  123 

The  godly  prof***  their  confidence  in 

God. 

A  Song  of  degrees. 

UNTO  thee  lift  I  up  mine 
eyes,  O  thou  that  dwellest 
in  the  heavens. 

2  Behold,  as  the  eyes  of  serv- 
ants look  unto  the  hand  of  their 
masters,  and  as  the  eyes  of  a 
maiden  unto  the  hand  of  her 
mistress;  so  our  eyes  wait  up- 
on the  Lord  our  God,  until  that 
he  have  mercy  upon  us. 

3  Have  mercy  upon  us,  0 
Lord,  have  mercy  upon  us:  for 
we  are  exceedingly  filled  with 
contempt 

4  Our  soul  is  exceedingly  filled 
with  the  scorning  of  those  that 
are  at  ease,  ana  with  the  con- 
tempt of  the  proud. 

PSALM  124 

The  godly  btee*  God  for  a  miraculous 

deliverance. 

A  Song  of  degrees  of  Dfi'vid. 

IF  it  had  not  been  the  Lord 
who  was  on  our  side,  now 
may  Is/ra-el  say; 

2  If  it  had  not  been  the  Lord 
who  was  on  our  side,  when  men 
rose  up  against  us : 

3  Then  they  had  swallowed 
us  up  quick,  when  their  wrath 
was  kindled  against  us: 

4  Then  the  waters  had  over- 
whelmed us,  the  stream  had 
gone  over  our  soul: 

5  Then  the  proud  waters  had 
gone  over  our  soul. 

6  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  who 
hath  not  given  us  as  a  prey 
to  their  teeth. 

7  Our  soul  is  escaped  as  a  bird 
out  of  the  snare  of  the  fowlers : 
the  snare  is  broken,  and  we  are 
escaped. 

8  Our  help  is  in  the  name  of 
the  Lord,  who  made  heaven 
and  earth.

THEY  that  trust  in  the  Lord 
shall  be  as  mount  Zi'dn, 
which  cannot  be  removed,  but 
abideth  for  ever. 

2  As  the  mountains  are  round 
about  Je-ri}'s§4Sm,  so  the  Lord 
is  round  about  his  people  from 
henceforth  even  for  ever. 

3  For  the  rod  of  the  wicked 
shall  not  rest  upon  the  lot  of 
the  righteous;  lest  the  right- 
eous put  forth  their  hands  un- 
to iniquity. 

4  Do  good,  O  Lord,  unto  those 
that  be  good,  and  to  them  that 
are  upright  in  their  hearts. 

5  As  for  such  as  turn  aside 
unto  their  crooked  ways,  the 
Lord  shall  lead  them  forth 
with  the  workers  of  iniquity 
but  peace  shall  be  upon  Ig'-

A  Song  of  degrees. 

TTTHEN   the    Lord    turned 
VV    again   the   captivity   of 
Zi'dn,  we  were  like  them  that 
dream. 

2  Then  was  our  mouth  filled 
with  laughter,  and  our  tongue 
with  singing:  then  said  they 
among  the  heathen,  The  Lord 
hath  done  great  things  for 
them. 

3  The  Lord  hath  done  great 
things  for  us ;  whereof  we  are 
glad. 

4  Turn  again  our  captivity, 
O  Lord,  as  the  streams  in  the 
south. 

5  .They  that  sow  in  tears  shall 
reap  in  joy. 

6  He  that  goeth  forth  and 
weepeth,  bearing  precious  seed, 
shall  doubtless  come  again  with 
rejoicing,  bringing  his  sheaves 
with  him. 

PSALM  127 

The  vanity  of  human  endeavours 
without  God's  blessing.  3  Children 
are  his  gift. 

A  Song  of  degrees  for  SdTo- 
mon. 

EXCEPT  the  Lord  build  the 
house,  they  labour  in  vain 
that  build  it:  except  the  Lord 
keep  the  city,  the  watchman 
waketh  but  in  vain. 

2  It  is  vain  for  you  to  rise 
up  .early,  to  sit  up  late,  to  eat 
the  bread  of  sorrows:  for  so 
he  giveth  his  beloved  sleep. 

3  £0,  children  are  an  heritage 

601 


of  the  Lord:  and  the  fruit  of 
the  womb  is  his  reward. 

4  As  arrows  are  in  the  hand 
of  a  mighty  man ;  so  are  chil- 
dren of  the  youth. 

5  Happy  is  the  man  that  hath 
his  quiver  full  of  them:  they 
shall  not  be  ashamed,  but  they 
shall  speak  with  the  enemies 
in  the  gate. 

PSALM  128 

Sundry  blessings  which  follow  those 
who  fear  God. 

A  Song  of  degrees. 

BLESSED  is  every  one  that 
feareth    the    Lord;   that 
walketh  in  his  ways. 

2  For  thou  shalt  eat  the  la- 
bour of  thine  hands:  happy 
shalt  thou  be,  and  it  shall  be 
wtll  with  thee. 

3  Thy  wife  shall  bees*  fruit- 
ful vine  by  the  sides  of  thine 
house:  thy  children  like  olive 
plants  round  about  thy  table. 

4  Behold,  that  thus  shall  the 
man  be  blessed  that  feareth 
the  Lord. 

5  The  Lord  shall  bless  thee 
out  of  Zi'dn:  and  thou  shalt 
see  the  good  of  Jg-ru's5-letn  all 
the  days  of  thy  life. 

6  Yea,  thou  shalt  see  thy 
children's  children,  and  peaee 
upon  Is/ra-el. 

PSALM  129 

GooVs  goodness  in  saving  Israel  out 
of  their  great  afflictions.  5  Prayer 
against  the  haters  of  Zion. 

A  Song  of  degrees. 

MANY  a  time  have  they  af- 
flicted me  from  my  youth, 
may  Is/ra-el  now  say : 

2  Many  a  time  have  they  af- 
flicted me  from  my  vouth :  yet 
they  have  not  prevailed  against 
me. 

3  The  plowers  plowed  upon 
my  back:  they  made  long  their 
furrows. 

4  The  Lord  is  righteous:  he 
hath  cut  asunder  the  cords  of 
the  wicked. 

5  Let  them  all  be  confounded 
and  turned  back  that  hate  Zi'dn, 

6  Let  them  be  as  the  grass  uth 
on  the  housetops,  which  witn- 
ereth  afore  it  groweth  up : 

7  Wherewith  the  mower  fill- 
eth  not  his  hand ;  nor  he  that 
bindeth  sheaves  his  bosom. 

8  Neither  do  they  which  go 
by  say,  The  blessing  of  the 
Lord  be  upon  you:  we  bless 
you  in  the  name  of  the  Lord.

A  Song  of  degrees. 
(UT  of  the  depths  have  I 
cried  unto  thee,  O  Lord. 

2  Lord,  hear  my  voice:  let 
thine  ears  be  attentive  to  the 
voice  of  my  supplications. 

3  If  thou,  Lord,  shouldest 
mark  iniquities,  O  Lord,  who 
shall  stand? 

4  But  there  is  forgiveness 
with  thee,  that  thou  mayest 
be  feared. 

5  I  wait  for  the  Lord,  my 
soul  doth  wait,  and  in  his  word 
do  I  hope. 

6  My  soul  waiteth  for  the  Lord 
more  than  they  that  watch  for 
the  morning:  1  say,  more  than 
they  that  watch  for  the  morn-

7  Let  Ig'ra-el  hope  in  the  Lord: 
for  with  the  Lord  there  is  mer-

LORD,  my  heart  is  not  haugh- 
ty, nor  mine  eyes  lofty: 
neither  do  I  exercise  myself  in 

freat  matters,  or  in  things  too 
igh  for  me. 

2  Surely  I  have  behaved  and 
quieted  myself,  as  a  child  that 
is  weaned  of  his  mother:  my 
soul  is  even  as  a  weaned  child. 

3  Let  Ij'ra-el  hope  in  the  Lord 
from  henceforth  and  for  ever. 

PSALM  132 

David's  prayer  at  the  removing  of 
the  ark,  11  with  a  repetition  of 
God's  promisee. 

A  Song  of  degrees. 

LORD,  remember  Dft'vid,  and 
all  his  afflictions : 

2  How  he  sware  unto  the  Lord, 
and  vowed  unto  the  mighty  God 
of  J&'cob ; 

3  Surely  I  will  not  come  into 
the  tabernacle  of  my  house,  nor 
go  up  into  my  bed; 

4  I  will  not  give  sleep  to  mine 
eyes,  or  slumber  to  mine  eye- 
lids, 

5  Until  I  find  out  a  place  for 
the  Lord,  an  habitation  for  the 
mighty  God  of  Ja'cob. 

6  Lo,  we  heard  of  it  at  fiph'- 
ra-tah :  we  found  it  in  the  fields 
of  the  wood 

7  We  will  go  into  his  taber- 
nacles: we  will  worship  at  his 
footstool. 

8  Arise,  O  Lord,  into  thy 
rest;  thou,  and  the  ark  of  thy 
strength. 


9  Let  thy  priests  be  clothed 
with  righteousness;  and  let  thy 
saints  shout  for  joy. 

10  For  thy  servant  Da'vid's 
sake  turn  not  away  the  face  of 
thine  anointed. 

11  The  Lord  hath  sworn  in 
truth  unto  Da'vid ;  he  will  not 
turn  from  it;  Of  the  fruit  of 
thy  body  will  I  set  upon  thy 
throne. 

12  If  thy  children  will  keep 
my  covenant  and  my  testimony 
that  I  shall  teach  them,  their 
children  shall  also  sit  upon  thy 
throne  for  evermore. 

13  For  the  Lord  hath  chosen 
Zf5n;  he  hath  desired  it  for 
his  habitation. 

14  This  is  my  rest  for  ever: 
here  will  I  dwell;  for  I  have 
desired  it 

15  I  will  abundantly  bless  her 
provision :  I  will  satisfy  her  poor 
with  bread. 

16  I  will  also  clothe  her  priests 
with  salvation :  and  her  saints 
shall  shout  aloud  for  joy. 

17  There  will  I  make  the 
horn  of  Dft'vid  to  bud:  I  have 
ordained  a  lamp  for  mine 
anointed. 

18  His  enemies  will  I  clothe 
with  shame:  but  upon  himself 
shall  his  crown  flourish. 

PSALM  133 
Benefit  of  the  communion  of  saint*. 

A  Song  of  degrees  of  Da'vid. 

BEHOLD,  how  good  and  how 
pleasant  it  is  for  brethren 
to  dwell  together  in  unity ! 

2  It  is  like  the  precious  oint- 
ment upon  the  head,  that  ran 
down  upon  the  beard,  even  Aar- 
on's beard:  that  went  down  to 
the  skirts  of  his  garments; 

3  As  the  dew  of  HeVmon,  and 
as  the  dew  that  descended  up- 
on the  mountains  of  Zi'dn:  for 
there  the  Lord  commanded  the 
blessing,  even  life  for  evermore. 

PSALM  134 

An  exhortation  to  bless  God. 

A  Song  of  degrees. 

BEHOLD,  bless  ye  the  Lord, 
all  ye  servants  of  the  Lord, 
which  by  night  stand  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

2  Lift  up  your  hands  in  the 
sanctuary,  and  bless  the  Lord. 

3  The  Lord  that  made  heaven 
and  earth  bless  thee  out  of  Zi'5n. 

PSALM  135 

Exhortation   to   God's   servants   to

and  judgments.    15  Vanity  of

praise  /rim,  O  ye  servants  of  the 
Lord. 

2  Ye  that  stand  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  in  the  courts  of  the 
house  of  our  God, 

3  Praise  the  Lord;  for  the 
Lord  is  good :  sing  praises  un- 
to his  name ;  for  it  xs  pleasant 

4  For  the  Lord  hath  chosen 
J&'cob  unto  himself,  and  Is/ra-el 
for  his  peculiar  treasure. 

5  For  I  know  that  the  Lord 
is  great,  and  that  our  Lord  is 
above  all  gods. 

6  Whatsoever  the  Lord  pleas- 
ed, that  did  he  in  heaven,  and 
in  earth,  in  the  seas,  and  all 
deep  places. 

7  He  causeth  the  vapours  to 
ascend  from  the  ends  of  the 
earth;  he  maketh  lightnin 
for  the  rain;  he  bringeth  the 
wind  out  of  his  treasuries. 

8  Who  smote  the  firstborn  of 
£*gypt,  both  of  man  and  beast 

9  Who  sent  tokens  and  won- 
ders into  the  midst  of  thee,  O 
ffgypt,  upon  PmVradh;  and  up- 
on all  his  servants. 

10  Who  smote  great  nations, 
and  slew  mighty  kings; 

11  Si'hdn  king  of  the  Am'dr- 
ftes,  and  Og  king  of  Ba'shan,  and 
all  the  kingdoms  of  Cft'nSan : 

12  And  gave  their  land  far  an 
heritage,  an  heritage  unto  Is/ra- 
el  his  people. 

13  Thy  name,  O  Lord,  endur- 
eth  for  ever ;  and  thy  memorial, 
O  Lord,  throughout  all  genera- 
tions. 

14  For  the  Lord  will  judge  his 
people,  and  he  will  repent  him- 
self concerning  his  servants. 

15  The  idols  of  the  heathen 
are  silver  and  gold,  the  work 
of  men's  hands. 

16  They  have  mouths,  but 
they  speak  not;  eyes  have  they, 
but  they  see  not; 

17  They  have  ears,  but  they 
hear  not ;  neither  is  there  any 
breath  in  their  mouths. 

18  They  that  make  them  are 
like  unto  them :  so  is  every  one 
that  trusteth  in  them. 

19  Bless  the  Lord,  0  house  of 
Is/ra-el:  bless  the  Lord,  0  house 
of  Aar'on  : 

20  Bless  the  Lord,  O  house  of 
LTvi:  ye  that  fear  the  Lord, 
bless  the  Lord. 

21  Blessed  be  the  Lord  out  of 
Zi'&n,  which  dwelleth  at  Je-ru'- 
s&4ein.    Praise  ye  the  Lord.

2  O  sive  thanks  unto  the  God

3  O  give  thanks  to  the  Lord 
of  lords :  for  his  mercy  endur- 
eth for  ever. 

4  To  him  who  alone  doeth 
great  wonders:  for  his  mercy 
endureth  for  ever. 

5  To  him  that  by  wisdom  made 
the  heavens :  for  his  mercy  en- 
dureth for  ever. 

6  To  him  that  stretched  out 
the  earth  above  the  waters:  for 
his  mercy  endureth  for  ever. 

7  To  him  that  made  great 
lights:  for  his  mercy  endureth 
for  ever: 

8  The  sun  to  rule  by  day :  for 
his  mercy  endureth  for  ever: 

9  The  moon  and  stars  to  rule 
by  night:  for  his  mercy  endur-

10  To  him  that  smote  £'gft>t 
in  their  firstborn :  for  his  mercy 
endureth  for  ever: 

11  And  brought  out  Is/ra-el 
from  among  them:  for  his 
mercy  endureth  for  ever: 

12  With  a  strong  hand*  and 
with  a  stretched  out  arm :  for 
his  mercy  endureth  for  ever. 

13  To  him  which  divided  the 
Red  sea  into  parts:  for  his 
mercy  endureth  for  ever: 

14  And  made  Is/ra-el  to  pass 
through  the  midst  of  it :  for  his 
mercy  endureth  for  ever: 

15  But  overthrew  Pha'raob 
and  his  host  in  the  Red  sea: 
for  his  mercy  endureth  for 
ever. 

16  To  him  which  led  his  peo» 

Ele  through  the  wilderness :  for 
is  mercy  endureth  for  ever. 

17  To  him  which  smote  great 
kings:  for  his  mercy  endureth 
for  ever: 

18  And  slew  famous  kings :  for 
his  mercy  endureth  for  ever: 

19  Si'hdn  king  of  the  Am'or- 
ites:  for  his  mercy  endureth 
for  ever: 

20  And  Og  the  king  of  Ba'- 
shan: for  his  mercy  endureth 
for  ever : 

21  And  gave  their  land  for  an 
heritage :  for  his  mercy  endur- 
eth forever*. 

22  Even  an  heritage  unto  Is/- 
ra-el  his  servant:  for  his  mercy 
endureth  for  ever. 

23  Who  remembered  us  in  our 
low  estate:  for  his  mercy  en- 
dureth forever: 

24  And  hath  redeemed  us  from 
our  enemies:  for  his  mercy  en- 
dureth for  ever. 

25  Who  eiveth  food  to  all 
flesh:  for  his  mercy  endureth 
forever.

PSALM  137 
Constancy  of  the  Jews  in  captivity. 

BY  the  rivers  of  B&b'jr-lon, 
there  we  sat  down,  yea,  we 
wept,  when  we  remembered 
Zi'dn. 

2  We  hanged  our  harps  upon 
the  willows  in  the  midst  thereof. 

3  For  there  they  that  carried 
us  away  captive  required  of  us 
a  song;  and  they  that  wasted 
us  required  of  us  mirth,  say- 
ing, Sing  us  one  of  the  songs 
of  Zi'5n. 

4  How  shall  we  sing  the  Lord's 
song  in  a  strange  land? 

5  If  I  forget  thee,  O  JeVro/sfi- 
18m,  let  my  right  hand  forget 
her  cunning. 

6  If  I  do  not  remember  thee, 
let  my  tongue  cleave  to  the 
roof  of  my  mouth ;  if  I  prefer 
not  JS-ru'sfi-lem  above  my  chief 
joy. 

7  Remember,  O  Lord,  the 
children  of  E'dom  in  the  day  of 
Je-ru/sit-lem ;  who  said,  Rase  it, 
rase  it,  even  to  the  foundation 
thereof. 

8  O  daughter  of  Bftb'jMon, 
who  art  to  be  destroyed ;  happy 
shall  he  be,  that  rewardeth 
thee  as  thou  hast  served  us. 

9  Happy  shall  he  be,  that 
taketh  and  dasheth  thy  little 
ones  against  the  stones. 

PSALM  138 

David  praises  God  for  the  truth  of 
Mb  word. 

A  Psalm  of  Da'vid. 

I  WILL  praise  thee  with  my 
whole  heart :  before  the  gods 
will  I  sing  praise  unto  thee. 

2  I  will  worship  toward  thy  holy 
temple,  and  praise  thy  name  for 
thy  lovingkindness  and  for  thy 
truth :  for  thou  hast  magnified 
thy  word  above  all  thy  name. 

3  In  the  day  when  I  cried  thou 
answeredst  me,  and  strength- 
ened^ me  with  strength  in  my 
soul. 

4  All  the  kings  of  the  earth 
shall  praise  thee,  0  Lord,  when 
they  hear  the  words  of  thy 
mouth. 

5  Yea,  they  shall  sing  in  the 
ways  of  the  Lord  :  for  great  is 
the  glory  of  the  Lord. 

6  Though  the  Lord  be  high, 
yet  hath  he  respect  unto  the 
lowly :  but  the  proud  he  know- 
eth  afar  off. 

7  Though  I  walk  in  the  midst 
of  trouble,  thou  wilt  revive  me : 
thou  shalt  stretch  forth  thine 


hand  against  the  wrath  of  mine 
enemies,  and  thy  right  hand 
shall  save  me. 

8  The  Lord  will  perfect  that 
which  concerneth  me:  thy 
mercy,  O  Lord,  endureth  for 
ever:  forsake  not  the  works  of 
thine  own  hands. 

PSALM  139 

David  praises  God  for  his  aUseeing 
providence. 

To  the  chief  Musjcian,  A  Psalm 
of  Da'vid. 

OLORD,  thou  hast  searched 
me,  and  known  me. 

2  Thou  knowest  my  downsit 
tins  and  mine  uprising,  thou 
understandest  my  thought  afar 
off. 

3  Thou  compassest  my  path 
and  my  lying  down,  and  art  ac- 
quainted with  all  my  ways. 

4  For  there  is  not  a  word  in 
my  tongue,  but,  lo,  O  Lord, 
thou  knowest  it  altogether. 

5  Thou  hast  beset  me  behind 
and  before,  and  laid  thine  hand 
upon  me. 

6  Such  knowledge  is  too  won- 
derful for  me ;  it  is  high,  I  can- 
not attain  unto  it 

7  Whither  shall  I  go  from  thy 
spirit?  or  whither  shall  I  flee 
from  thy  presence? 

8  If  1  ascend  up  into  heaven, 
thou  art  there:  if  I  make  my 
bed  in  hell,  behold,  thou  art 
there. 

9  If  I  take  the  wings  of  the 
morning,  and  dwell  in  the  ut- 
termost parts  of  the  sea; 

10  Even  there  shall  thy  hand 
lead  me,  and  thy  right  hand 
shall  hold  me. 

11  If  I  say,  Surely  the  dark- 
ness shall  cover  me;  even  the 
night  shall  be  light  about  me. 

12  Yea,  the  darkness  hideth 
not  from  thee;  but  the  night 
shineth  as  the  day:  the  dark- 
ness and  the  light  are  both 
alike  to  thee. 

13  For  thou  hast  possessed  my 
reins:  thou  hast  covered  me  in 
my  mother's  womb. 

14  I  will  praise  thee;  for  I 
am  fearfully  and  wonderfully 
made:  marvellous  are  thy 
works;  and  that  my  soul  know- 
eth  right  well 

15  My  substance  was  not  hid 
from  thee,  when  I  was  made  in 
secret,  and  curiously  wrought 
in  the  lowest  parts  or  the  earth. 

16  Thine  eyes  did  see  my  sub- 
stance, yet  being  imperfect;  and 
in  thy  book  all  my  members 
were  written,  which  in  con- 
tinuance were  fashioned,  when 
as  yet  there  was  none  of  them.

17  How  precious  also  are  thy 
thoughts  unto  me,  0  God !  how 
great  is  the  sum  of  them ! 

18  If  I  should  count  them; 
they  are  more  in  number  than 
the  sand :  when  I  awake,  I  am 
still  with  thee. 

19  Surely  thou  wilt  slay  the 
wicked,  0  God :  depart  from  me 
therefore,  ye  bloody  men. 

20  For  they  speak  against  thee 
wickedly,  ana  thine  enemies 
take  thy  name  in  vain. 

21  Do  not  I  hate  them,  0  Lord, 
that  hate  thee?  and  am  not  I 
grieved  with  those  that  rise  up 
against  thee  ? 

22  I  hate  them  with  perfect 
hatred:  I  count  them  mine 
enemies. 

23  Search  me,  0  God,  and  know 
my  heart :  try  me,  and  know  my 
thoughts : 

24  And  see  if  there  be  any 
wicked  way  in  me,  and  lead  me 
in  the  way  everlasting. 

PSALM  140 

David  prays  to  be  delivered  from 
Saul  and  Doeg. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm 

of  Da'vid. 
T\ELIVER  me,  O  Lord,  from 
U  the  evil  man :  preserve  me 
from  the  violent  man ; 

2  Which  imagine  mischiefs  in 
their  heart;  continually  are 
they  gathered  together  for  war. 

3  They  have  sharpened  their 
tongues  like  a  serpent;  adders' 
poison  is  under  their  lips. 
SSlah. 

4  Keep  me,  O  Lord,  from  the 
hands  of  the  wicked;  preserve 
me  from  the  violent  man ;  who 
have  purposed  to  overthrow  my 
goings. 

5  The  proud  have  hid  a  snare 
for  me,  and  cords;  they  have 
spread  a  net  by  the  wayside; 
they  have  set  gins  for  me. 
Selah, 

6  1  said  unto  the  Lord,  Thou 
art  my  God :  hear  the  voice  of 
my  supplications,  0  Lord. 

7  O  God  the  Lord,  the  strength 
of  my  salvation,  thou  hast  cov- 
ered my  head  in  the  day  of 
battle. 

8  Grant  not,  O  Lord,  the  de- 
sires of  the  wicked :  further  not 
his  wicked  device;  lest  they 
exalt  themselves.    Selah. 

9  As  for  the  head  of  those 
that  compass  me  about,  let  the 
mischief  of  their  own  lips  cover 
them. 

10  Let  burning  coals  fall  upon 
them :  let  them  be  cast  into  the 
fire;  into  deep  pits,  that  they 
rise  not  up  again. 


11  Let  not  an  evil  speaker  be 
established  in  the  earth:  evil 
shall  hunt  the  violent  man  to 
overthrow  him. 

12  I  know  that  the  Lord  will 
maintain  the  cause  of  the  af- 
flicted, and  the  right  of  the 
poor. 

13  Surely  the  righteous  shall 
give  thanks  unto  thy  name: 
the  upright  shall  dwell  in  thy 
presence. 

PSALM  141 

David  pray  a  that  hie  conscience  may 

be  mincer*. 

A  Psalm  of  Da'vid. 

LORD,  I  cry  unto  thee :  make 
haste  unto  me;  give  ear 
unto  my  voice,  when  I  cry  unto 
thee. 

2  Let  my  prayer  be  set  forth 
before  thee  as  incense;  and 
the  lifting  up  of  my  hands  as 
the  evening  sacrifice. 

3  Set  a  watch,  0  Lord,  before 
my  mouth ;  keep  the  door  of  my 
lips. 

4  Incline  not  my  heart  to  any 
evil  thing,  to  practise  wicked 
works  with  men  that  work  in- 
iquity: and  let  me  not  eat  of 
their  dainties. 

5  Let  the  righteous  smite  me ; 
it  shall  be  a  kindness:  and  let 
him  reprove  me ;  it  shall  be  an 
excellent  oil,  which  shall  not 
break  mv  head:  for  vet  my 
prayer  also  shall  be  in  their 
calamities. 

6  When  their  judges  are  over- 
thrown in  stony  places,  they 
shall  hear  my  words;  for  they 
are  sweet. 

7  Our  bones  are  scattered  at 
the  grave's  mouth,  as  when  one 
cutteth  and  cleaveth  wood  upon 
the  earth. 

8  But  mine  eyes  are  unto  thee, 
0  God  the  Lord :  in  thee  is  my 
trust;  leave  not  my  soul  des- 
titute. 

9  Keep  me  from  the  snares 
which  they  have  laid  for  me, 
and  the  gins  of  the  workers  of 
iniquity. 

10  Let  the  wicked  fall  into 
their  own  nets,  whilst  that  I 
withal  escape. 

PSALM  142 
David  shews  that  in  his.  trouble  all 
his  comfort  was  in  prayer  unto 
God. 

M&s'chil  of  DSVid;  A  Prayer 
when  he  was  in  the  cave. 
CRIED  unto  the  Lord  with 
my  voice;  with  my  voice 
unto  the  Lord  did  I  make  my 
supplication. 

2  I  poured  out  my  complaint 
before  him;  I  shewed  before 
him  my  trouble.

3  When  my  spirit  was  over- 
whelmed within  me,  then  thou 
knewest  my  path.  In  the  way 
wherein  I  walked  have  they 
privily  laid  a  snare  for  me. 

4  I  looked  on  my  right 
hand,  and  beheld,  but  there 
was  no  man  that  would  know 
me :  refuge  failed  me ;  no  man 
cared  for  my  soul. 

5  I  cried  unto  thee,  O  Lord: 
I  said,  Thou  art  my  refuge 
and  my  portion  in  the  land  of 
the  living. 

6  Attend  unto  my  cry;  for  I 
am  brought  very  low:  deliver 
me  from  my  persecutors;  for 
they  are  stronger  than  L 

7  Bring  my  soul  out  of  pris- 
on, that  I  may  praise  thy  name : 
the  righteous  shall  compass  me 
about;  for  thou  shalt  deal  boun- 
tifully with  me. 

PSALM  143 
David  pray 8  for  God's  guidance  and 


A  Psalm  of  David. 

HEAR  my  prayer,  0  LORD, 
give  ear  to  my  supplica- 
tions: in  thy  faithfulness  an*- 
swer  me,  ana  in  thy  righteous- 
ness. 

2  And  enter  not  into  judg- 
ment with  thy  servant:  for  in 
thy  sight  shall  no  man  living 
be  justified. 

3  For  the  enemy  hath  perse- 
cuted my  soul;  he  hath  smit- 
ten   my    life    down    to    the 

S  round ;  he  hath  made  me  to 
well  in  darkness,  as  those  that 
have  been  long  dead. 

4  Therefore  is  my  spirit 
overwhelmed  within  me;  my 
heart  within  me  is  desolate. 

5  I  remember  the  days  of 
old;  I  meditate  on  all  thy 
works ;  I  muse  on  the  work  of 
thy  hands. 

6  I  stretch  forth  my  hands 
unto  thee:  my  soul  thirsteth 
after  thee,  as  a  thirsty  land. 
Selah. 

7  Hear  me  speedily,  O  Lord 
my  spirit  faileth :  hide  not  thy 
face  from  me,  lest  I  be  like 
unto  them  that  go  down  into 
the  pit. 

8  Cause  me  to  hear  thy  lov- 
ingkindness in  the  morning; 
for  in  thee  do  I  trust:  cause 
me  to  know  the  way  wherein  I 
should  walk ;  for  I  lift  up  my 
soul  unto  thee. 

9  Deliver  me,  O  Lord,  from 
mine  enemies:  I  flee  unto  thee 
to  hide  me. 

10  Teach  me  to  do  thy  will; 
for  thou  art  my  God:  thy 
spirit  is  good;  lead  me  into 
the  land  of  uprightness. 


11  Quicken  me,  O  Lord,  for 
thy  name's  sake :  for  thy  right- 
eousness' sake  bring  my  soul 
out  of  trouble. 

12  And  of  thy  mercy  cut  off 
mine  enemies,  and  destroy  all 
them  that  afflict  my  soul :  for  I 
am  thy  servant. 

PSALM  144 
David  Ussses  God  for  his  mercy. 

A  Psalm  of  Di'vid. 

BLESSED  be  the  Lord  my 
strength,  which  teacheth 
my  hands  to  war,  and  my 
fingers  to  fight : 

2  My  goodness,  and  my  for- 
tress ;  my  high  tower,  and  my 
deliverer;  my  shield,  and  he 
in  whom  I  trust ;  who  subdueth 
my  people  under  me. 

3  Lord,  what  is  man,  that 
thou  takest  knowledge  of  him ! 
or  the  son  of  man,  that  thou 
makest  account  of  him! 

4  Man  is  like  to  vanity :  his 
days  are  as  a  shadow  that  pass- 
eth  away. 

5  Bow  thy  heavens,  O  Lord, 
and  come  down:  touch  the 
mountains,  and  they  shall 
smoke. 

6  Cast  forth  lightning,  and 
scatter  them :  shoot  out  thine 
arrows,  and  destroy  them. 

7  Send  thine  hand  from 
above;  rid  me,  and  deliver  me 
out  of  great  waters,  from  the 
hand  of  strange  children; 

8  Whose  mouth  speaketh  van- 
ity, and  their  right  hand  is  a 
right  hand  of  falsehood. 

9  I  will  sing  a  new  song 
unto  thee,  O  God:  upon  a 
psaltery  and  an  instrument  of 
ten  strings  will  I  sing  praises 
unto  thee. 

10  It  is  he  that  giveth  salva- 
tion unto  kings:  who  deliver- 
eth  Dfi'vid  his  servant  from 
the  hurtful  sword. 

11  Rid  me,  and  deliver  me 
from  the  hand  of  strange  chil- 
dren, whose  mouth  speaketh 
vanity,  and  their  right  hand 
is  a  right  hand  of  falsehood 

12  That  our  sons  may  be  as 
plants  grown  up  in  their  youth ; 
that  our  daughters  may  be  as 
corner  stones,  polished  after 
the  similitude  of  a  palace: 

13  That  our  garners  may  be 
full,  affording  all  manner  of 
store :  that  our  sheep  may  bring 
forth  thousands  and  ten  thou- 
sands in  our  streets : 

14  That  our  oxen  may  be 
strong  to  labour;  that  there 
be  no  breaking  in,  nor  going 
out;  that  there  be  no  complain 
ing  in  our  streets.

PSALM  145 

David  praises  God  for  his  goodness, 
and  for  kit  special  favour  for  the 
righteous, 

Da'vid's  Psalm  of  praise. 

I  WILL  extol  thee,  my  God, 
O  king;  and  I  will  bless  thy 
name  for  ever  and  ever. 

2  Every  day  will  I  bless  thee 
and  I  will  praise  thy  name  for 
ever  and  ever. 

3  Great  is  the  Lord,  and 
greatly  to  be  praised;  and  his 
greatness  is  unsearchable. 

4  One  generation  shall  praise 
thy  works  to  another,  and  shall 
declare  thy  mighty  acts. 

5  I  will  speak  of  the  glorious 
honour  of  thy  majesty,  and  of 
thy  wondrous  works. 

6  And  men  shall  speak  of  the 
might  of  thy  terrible  acts :  and 
I  will  declare  thy  greatness. 

7  They  shall  abundantly  utter 
the  memory  of  thy  great  good- 
ness, and  shall  sing  of  thy 
righteousness. 

8  The  Lord  is  gracious,  and 
full  of  compassion;  slow  to 
anger,  and  of  great  mercy. 

9  The  Lord  is  good  to  all :  and 
his  tender  mercies  are  over  all 
his  works. 

10  All  thy  works  shall  praise 
thee,  O  Lord;  and  thy  saints 
shall  bless  thee. 

11  They  shall  speak  of  the 
glory  of  thy  kingdom,  and  talk 
of  thy  power; 

12  To  make  known  to  the 
sons  of  men  his  mighty  acts, 
and  the  glorious  majesty  of  his 
kingdom. 

13  Thy  kingdom  is  an  ever- 
lasting kingdom,  and  thy  do- 
minion enaureth  throughout 
all  generations. 

14  The  Lord  upholdeth  all 
that  fall,  and  raiseth  up  all 
those  that  be  bowed  down. 

15  The  eyes  of  all  wait  upon 
thee;  and  thou  givest  them 
their  meat  in  due  season. 

16  Thou  openest  thine  hand, 
and  satisfiest  the  desire  of  every 
living  thing. 

17  The  Lord  is  righteous  in 
all  his  ways,  and  holy  in  all  his 
works. 

18  The  Lord  is  nigh  unto  all 
them  that  call  upon  him,  to  all 
that  call  upon  him  in  truth. 

19  He  will  fulfil  the  desire  of 
them  that  fear  him:  he  also 
will  hear  their  cry,  and  will 
save  them. 

20  The  Lord  preserveth  all 


them  that  love  him:  but  all 
the  wicked  will  he  destroy. 
21  My  mouth  shall  speak  the 
praise  of  the  Lord:  and  let  ell 
flesh  bless  his  holy  name  for 
ever  and  ever. 

PSALM  146 

God  only  is  worthy  to  be  trusted. 

PRAISE  ye  the  Lord.   Praise 
the  Lord,  O  my  souL 

2  While  I  live  will  I  praise  the 
Lord:  I  will  sing  praises  unto 
my  God  while  I  have  any  being. 

3  Put  not  your  trust  in  princes, 
nor  in  the  son  of  man,  in  whom 
there  is  no  help. 

4  His  breath  goeth  forth,  he 
returneth  to  his  earth;  in  that 
very  day  his  thoughts  perish. 

5  Happy  is  he  that  hath  the 
God  of  Jfi'cob  for  his  help,  whose 
hope  is  in  the  Lord  his  God : 

6  Which  made  heaven,  and 
earth,  the  sea,  and  all  that 
therein  is:  which  keepeth  truth 
forever: 

7  Which  executeth  judgment 
for  the  oppressed:  which  giv- 
eth  food  to  the  hungry.  The 
Lord  looseth  the  prisoners: 

8  The  Lord  openeth  the  eyes 
of  the  blind:  the  Lord  raiseth 
them  that  are  bowed  down :  the 
Lord  loveth  the  righteous : 

9  The  Lord  preserveth  the 
strangers;  he  relieveth  the 
fatherless  and  widow :  but  the 
way  of  the  wicked  he  turneth 
upside  down. 

10  The  Lord  shall  reign  for- 
ever, even  thy  God,  O  Zi'On, 
unto  all  generations.  Praise  ye 
the  Lord. 

PSALM  147 
The  prophet  exhorts  to  praise  God 

for  his  care  of  the  church. 
T)RAISE  ye  the  Lord:  for  it 
L    is  good  to  sing  praises  un- 
to our  God ;  for  it  is  pleasant; 
and  praise  is  comely. 

2  The  Lord  doth  build  up 
Je-ru'sa-lem :  he  gathereth  to- 
gether the  outcasts  of  Is/ra-el. 

3  He  healeth  the  broken  in 
heart,  and  bindeth  up  their 
wounds. 

4  He  telleth  the  number  of 
the  stars;  he  caileth  them  all 
by  their  names. 

5  Great  is  our  Lord,  and  of 
great  power:  his  understanding 
is  infinite. 

6  The  Lord  lifteth  up  the 
meek:  he  eastern  the  wicked 
down  to  the  ground. 

7  Sing  unto  the  Lord  with 
thanksgiving;  sing  praise  upon 
the  harp  unto  our  God : 

8  Who  covereth  the  heaven 
with  clouds,  who  prepareth  rain

for  the  earth,  who  maketh  grass 
to  grow  upon  the  mountains. 

9  He  giveth  to  the  beast  his 
food,  and  to  the  young  ravens 
which  cry. 

10  He  delighteth  not  in  the 
strength  of  the  horse:  he  tak- 
eth  not  pleasure  in  the  legs  of  a 
man. 

11  The  Lord  taketh  pleasure 
in  them  that  fear  him,  in  those 
that  hope  in  his  mercy. 

12  Praise  the  Lord,  0  Je-ru'- 
sfi-lem;  praise  thy  God,  0  Zi'dn. 

13  For  he  hath  strengthened 
the  bars  of  thy  gates ;  he  hath 
blessed  thy  children  within 
thee. 

14  He  maketh  peace  in  thy 
borders,  and  filleth  thee  with 
the  finest  of  the  wheat 

15  He  sendeth  forth  his  com- 
mandment upon  earth:  his 
word  runneth  very  swiftly. 

16  He  giveth  snow  like  wool: 
he  scattereth  the  hoarfrost  like 
ashes. 

17  He  casteth  forth  his  ice 
like  morsels:  who  can  stand 
before  his  cold? 

18  He  sendeth  out  his  word, 
and  melteth  them :  he  causeth 
his  wind  to  blow,  and  the  wa- 
ters flow. 

19  He  sheweth  his  word  unto 
Ji'cob,  his  statutes  and  his  judg- 
ments unto  Is/ra-el. 

20  He  hath  not  dealt  so  with 
any  nation :  and  as  for  his  judg- 
ments, they  have  not  known 
them.    Praise  ye  the  Lord. 

PSALM  148 

The  psalmist  calls  upon  all  creatures 
to  praise  God. 

PRAISE  ye  the  Lord.    Praise 
ye  the  Lord  from  the  heav- 
ens :  praise  him  in  the  heights, 

2  Praise  ye  him,  all  his  angels : 
praise  ye  him,  all  his  hosts. 

3  Praise  ye  him,  sun  and 
moon :  praise  him,  all  ye  stars 
of  light. 

4  Praise  him,  ye  heavens  of 
heavens,  and  ye  waters  that  be 
above  the  heavens. 

5  Let  them  praise  the  name 
of  the  Lord:  for  he  commanded, 
and  they  were  created. 

6  He  hath  also  stablished 
them  for  ever  and  ever:  he 
hath  made  a  decree  which  shall 
not  pass. 

7  Praise  the  Lord  from  the 
earth,  ye  dragons,  and  all  deeps : 

8  Fire,  and  hail;  snow,  and 
vapours ;  stormy  wind  fulfilling 
his  word : 

9  Mountains,  and  all  hills; 
fruitful  trees,  and  all  cedars: 

10  Beasts,    and    all     cattle; 


creeping  things,  and  flying 
fowl: 

11  Kings  of  the  earth,  and  all 
people ;  princes,  and  all  judges 
of  the  earth : 

12  Both  young  men,  and  maid- 
ens ;  old  men,  and  children : 

13  Let  them  praise  the  name 
of  the  Lord:  for  his  name  alone 
is  excellent;  his  glory  is  above 
the  earth  and  heaven. 

14  He  also  exalteth  the  horn 
of  his  people,  the  praise  of  all 
his  saints ;  even  of  the  children 
of  Ig'ra-el,  a  people  near  unto 
him.    Praise  ye  the  Lord. 

PSALM  149 

The  prophet  exhorts  to  praise  God 

for  his  love  to  the  church. 

T)RAIS£  ye  the  Lord.  Sing 
JL  unto  the  Lord  a  new  song, 
and  his  praise  in  the  congrega- 
tion of  saints. 

2  Let  Ig'ra-el  rejoice  in  him 
that  made  him :  let  the  children 
of  Zi'dn  be  joyful  in  their  King. 

3  Let  them  praise  his  name  in 
the  dance:  let  them  sing  praises 
unto  him  with  the  timbrel  and 


4  For  the  Lord  taketh  pleas- 
ure in  his  people :  he  will  Deau- 
tify  the  meek  with  salvation. 

5  Let  the  saints  be  joyful  in 
glory:  let  them  sing  aloud  upon 
their  beds. 

6  Let  the  high  praises  of 
God  be  in  their  mouth,  and  a 
twoedged  sword  in  their  hand ; 

7  To  execute  vengeance  upon 
the  heathen,  and  punishments 
upon  the  people; 

8  To  bind  their  kings  with 
chains,  and  their  nobles  with 
fetters  of  iron; 

9  To  execute  upon  them  the 

i'udgment  written :  this  honour 
tave  all  his  saints.  Praise  ye 
the  Lord. 

PSALM  150 

An  exhortation  to  praise  God, 

T)RAISE  ye  the  Lord.  Praise 
XT  God  in  his  sanctuary :  praise 
him  in  the  firmament  of  his 
power. 

2  Praise  him  for  his  mighty 
acts:  praise  him  according  to 
his  excellent  greatness. 

3  Praise  him  with  the  sound 
of  the  trumpet :  praise  him  with 
the  psaltery  and  harp. 

4  Praise  him  with  the  timbrel 
and  dance:  praise  him  with 
stringed  instruments  and  or- 
gans. 

5  Praise  him  upon  the  loud 
cymbals:  praise  him  upon  the 
high  sounding  cymbals. 

6  Let  every  thing  that  hath 
breath  praise  the  Lord.  Praise 
ye  the  Lord.

CHAPTER  1 

The  urn  o/  the  proverbs.  7  Exhorta- 
tion to  fear  God,  and  rtgard  par- 
ent*. 20  Wisdom  complains  of  the 
contempt  cfacomers. 

rOHE  proverbs  of  Sol'o-mon  the 
X  son  of  Di'vid,  king  of  Is> 
ra-el; 

2  To  know  wisdom  and  instruc- 
tion ;  to  perceive  the  words  Of 
understanding ; 

3  To  receive  the  instruction  of 
wisdom,  justice,  and  judgment, 
and  equity ; 

4  To  give  subtilty  to  the  sim- 
ple, to  the  young  man  knowl- 
edge and  discretion. 

5  A  wise  man  will  hear,  and 
will  increase  learning;  and  a 
man  of  understanding  shall  at- 
tain unto  wise  counsels : 

6  To  understand  a  proverb, 
and  the  interpretation;  the 
words  of  the  wise,  and  their 
dark  sayings. 

7  TThe  fear  of  the  Lord  w 
the  beginning  of  knowledge: 
but  fools  despise  wisdom  and 
instruction. 

8  My  son,  hear  the  instruction 
of  thy  father,  and  forsake  not 
the  law  of  thy  mother: 

9  For  they  shall  be  an  orna- 
ment of  grace  unto  thy  head, 
and  chains  about  thy  neck. 

10  ITMy  son,  if  sinners  entice 
thee,  consent  thou  not 

11  If  they  say,  Come  with  us, 
let  us  lay  wait  for  blood,  let  us 
lurk  privily  for  the  innocent 
without  cause: 

12  Let  us  swallow  them  up 
alive  as  the  grave;  and  whole, 
as  those  that  go  down  into  the 
pit: 

13  We  shall  find  all  precious 
substance,  we  shall  fill  our 
houses  with  spoil : 

14  Cast  in  thy  lot  among  us ; 
let  us  all  have  one  purse : 

15  My  son,  walk  not  thou  in 
the  way  with  them ;  refrain  thy 
foot  from  their  path : 

16  For  their  feet  run  to  evil, 
and  make  haste  to  shed  Mood. 

17  Surely  in  vain  the  net  is 
spread  in  the  sight  of  any  bird. 

18  And  they  lay  wait  for  their 
own  blood;  they  lurk  privily 
for  their  own  lives. 

19  So  are  the  ways  of  every 
one  that  is  greedy  of  gain; 
which  taketh  away  the  life  of 
the  owners  thereof. 


20  IT  Wisdom  tirieth  without; 
she  uttereth  her  voice  in  the 
streets:  • 

21  She  crieth  in  the*  chief 
place  of  concourse,  in  the  open 
ings  of  the  gates :  in  the  city 
she  uttereth  her  words,  smyintj, 

22  How  long,  ye  simple  ones, 
wiH  ye  love  simplicity  ?  and  the 
scorners  delight  in  their  scorn- 
ing, and  fools  hate  knowledge? 

23  Turn  you  at  my  reproof: 
behold*  1  will  pour  out  my  spirit 
unto  you,  I  will  make  known  my 
words  unto  you* 

24  UBecause  I  have  called,  and 
ye  refused;  I  have  stretched 
out  my  hand,  and  no  man  re- 
garded; 

25  But  ye  have  set  at  nought 
all  my  counsel,  and  would  none 
of  my  reproof: 

26  I  also  will  laugh  at  your 
calamity;  I  will  mock'  when 
your  fear  cometh; 

27  When  your  fear  cometh  as 
desolation,  and  your  destruction 
cometh  as  a  whirlwind;  when 
distress  and  anguish  cometh 
upon  you.  ■  •  • 

28  Then  shaH  they  call  upon 
me,  but  I  will  not  answer;  they 
shall  seek  me  early,  but  they 
shall  not  find  me  r         "'<>     • 

29  For  that  they  hated  knowl- 
edge, and  <Kd '  not  choose  the 
fear  of  the  Lord:  •  : 

30  They  Would  none  of  tny 
counsel :  they  despised  ail-  my 
reproof. 

31  Therefore  shall  they  eat  of 
the  fruit  of  their  own  way,  and 
be  filled  with  their  own  devices. 

32  For  the  turning  away  of 
the  simple  shall  slay  them;. and 
the  prosperity  of  fools  shall  de- 
stroy them. 

33  But  whoso  hearkeneth  un- 
to me  shall  dwell  safely,  and 
shall  be  quiet  from  fear  of  evil. 

CHAPTEft  2 
Wiedom  promises  godliness'  and  di- 
rection 4a  'her  children. 
MY  son,  if  thou  wilt  receive 
my  words,  and  hide  my 
commandments  With  thee1;     , 

2  So  that  thou  incline  thine 
ear  unto  wisdom,  and  apply 
thine  heart  to  understanding  * 

3  Yea,  if  thou  criest  after 
knowledge,  and  liftest  up  thy 
voice  for  understanding ;  - 

4  If  thou  seekest  her*  as  silver,

treasures; 

5  Then  shalt  thou  understand 
the  fear, of  the  Lord,  and  fin<J 
the  knowledge  of  <?od» 

6  For  the  Lord*  giveth  wis- 
dom: out  of  his  mouth  cometh 
knowledge  and  understanding. 

7  He  layeth  up  sound  wisdom 
for  the  righteous;  he  is  a  buck- 
ler to  them  that  walk  uprightly. 

8  He  keepth  the  paths  of  judg- 
ment, and  preserveth  the  way 
of  his  saints. 

9  Then  shalt  thou  understand 
righteousness,  and  judgment, 
and  equity;  yea,  every  good 
path. 

10  1T  When  wisdom  entereth 
into  thine  heart,  and  knowledge 
is  pleasant  unto  thy  soul ; 

11  Discretion .  shall .  preserve 
thee,  understanding  shall  keep 
thee: 

12  To  deliver  thee  from  the 
way  of  the  evil  man*  from  the 
man  that  speaketh  froward 
things; 

13  Who  leave  the  paths  of  up- 
rightness, to  walk  in  the  ways 
of  darkness; 

14  Who  rejoice  to  do  evil,  and 
delight  in  the  frowardness  of 
the  wicked; 

15  Whose  ways  are  crooked, 
and  they  froward  in  their 
paths: 

16  To  deliver  thee  from  the 
strange  woman,  even  from  the

CHAPTER  3 

Exhortation  to.  various  duties.    13 

Happy  gain  o/  wipdom, 

MY  son,  forget  not  my  law ; 
but  let  thine  heart  keep 
my  commandments ;, 

2  For  length  of  days,  and  long 
life,  and  peace,  shall  they  add 
to  thee.  . 

3  Let  not  mercy  and  truth 
forsake  thee:  bind  them  about 


thy  neck ;  write  them  upon  the 
table  of  thine  heart : 

4  So  shalt  thou  find  favour 
and  good  understanding  in  the 
sight  of  Qod  and  man. 

5  IT  Trust  in  the  Lord  with 
all  thine  heart;  and  lean  not 
unto  thine  own  understanding. 

6  In  all  thy  ways  acknowl- 
edge him,  and  he  shall  direct 
thy  paths. 

7  Be  not  wise  in  thine  own 
eyes:  fear  the  Lord,  and  de- 
part from  evil. 

8  It  shall  be  health  to  thy 
navel,  and  marrow  to  thy  bones. 

9  Honour  the  Lord  with  thy 
substance,  and  with  the  first- 
fruits  of  all  thine  increase 

10  So  shall  thy  barns  be  filled 
with  plenty,  and  thy  presses 
shall  burst  out  with  new  wine. 

11  UMy  son,  despise  not  the 
chastening  of  the  Lord  ;  neither 
be  weary  of  his  correction : 

12  For  whom  the  Lord  loveth 
he  correcteth ;  even  as  a  father 
the  son  in  whom  he  delighteth. 

13  If  Happy  is  the  man  that 
findeth  wisdom,  and  the  man 
that  getteth  understanding. 

14  For  the  merchandise  of  it 
is  better  than  the  merchandise 
of  silver,  and  the  gain  thereof 
than  fine  gold. 

15  She  is  more  precious  than 
rubies:  and  all  the  things  thou 
canst  desire  are  not  to  be  com- 
pared unto  her. 

16  Length  of  days  is  in  her 
right  hand;  and  in  her  left 
hand  riches  and  honour. 

17  Her  ways  are  ways  of 
pleasantness,  and  all  her  paths 
are  peace. 

18  She  is  a  tree  of  life  to 
them  that  lay  hold  upon  her 
and  happy  is  every  one  that 
retaineth  her. 

19  The  Lord  by  wisdom  hath 
founded  the  earth;  by  under- 
standing hath  he  established 
the  heavens. 

20  By  his  knowledge  the 
depths  are  broken  up,  and  the 
clouds  drop  down  the  dew. 

21  1F  My  son,  let  not  them  de- 
part from  thine  eyes:  keep 
sound  wisdom  and  discretion 

22  So  shall  they  be  life  unto 
thy  aoul,  and  grace  to  thy  neck. 

23  Then  shalt  thou  walk  in 
thy  way  safely,  and  thy  foot 
shall  not  stumble. 

24  When  thou  liest  down,  thou 
shalt  not  be  afraid:  yea,  thou 
shalt  lie  down,  and  thy  sleep 
shall  be  sweet 

25  Be  not  afraid  of  sudden 
fear,  neither  of  the  desolation 
of  the  wicked,  when  it  cometh.

26  For  the  Lord  shall  be  thy 
confidence,  and  shall  keep  thy 
foot  from  being  taken. 

27  H  Withhold  not  good  from 
them  to  whom  it  is  due,  when 
it  is  in  the  power  of  thine  hand 
to  do  it. 

28  Say  not  unto  thy  neigh 
hour,  Go,  and  come  again,  and 
to  morrow  I  will  give;  when 
thou  hast  it  by  thee. 

29  Devise  not  evil  against  thy 
neighbour,  seeing  he  dwelleth 
securely  by  thee. 

30  Strive  not  with  a  man 
without  cause,  if  he  have  done 
thee  no  harm. 

31  f  Envy  thou  not  the  op- 
pressor, and  choose  none  of  his 
ways. 

32  For  the  froward  is  shorn* 
ination  to  the  Lord:  but  his 
secret  is  with  the  righteous. 

33  The  curse  of  the  Lord  is 
in  the  house  of  the  wicked :  but 
he  blesseth  the  habitation  of 
the  just. 

34  Surely  he  scorneth  the 
scorners:  but  he  giveth  grace 
unto  the  lowly. 

35  The  wise  shall  inherit  glo- 
ry :  but  shame  shall  be  the  pro- 
motion of  fools. 

CHAPTER  4 
Solomon,  to  persuade  obedience,  3 
shews  what  instruction  he  had  of 
hi*  parent*, 

HEAR,  ye  children,  the  in- 
struction of  a  father,  and 
attend  to  know  understanding. 

2  For  I  give  you  good  doc- 
trine, forsake  ye  not  my  law. 

3  For  I  was  my  father's  son, 
tender  and  only  beloved  in  the 
sight  of  my  mother. 

4  He  taught  me  also,  and  said 
unto  me,  Let  thine  heart  retain 
my  words:  keep  my  command- 
ments, and  live. 

5  Get  wisdom,  get  understand- 
ing: forget  it  not;  neither  de- 
cline from  the  words  of  my 
mouth. 

6  Forsake  her  not,  and  she 
shall  preserve  thee:  love  her, 
and  she  shall  keep  thee. 

7  Wisdom  is  the  principal 
thing;  therefore  get  wisdom: 
and  with  all  thy  getting  get 
understanding. 

8  Exalt  her,  and  she  shall  pro- 
mote thee :  she  shall  bring  thee 
to  honour,  when  thou  dost  em- 
brace her. 

9  She  shall  give  to  thine  head 
an  ornament  of  grace:  a  crown 
of  glory  shall  she  deliver  to 
thee. 

10  Hear,  0  my  son,  and  re- 
ceive my  sayings;  and  the 
years  of  thy  life  shall  be  many. 


11  I  have  taught  thee  in  the 
way  of  wisdom;  I  have  led  thee 
in  right  paths. 

12  When  thou  goest,  thy  steps 
shall  not  be  straitened;  and 
when  thou  runnest,  thou  shalt 
not  stumble. 

13  Take  fast  hold  of  instruc- 
tion; let  her  not  go:  keep  her; 
for  she  is  thy  life. 

14  H  Enter  not  into  the  path 
of  the  wicked,  and  go  not  in 
the  way  of  evil  men. 

15  Avoid  it,  pass  not  by  it, 
turn  from  it,  and  pass  away. 

16  For  they  sleep  not,  except 
they  have  done  mischief;  and 
their  sleep  is  taken  away,  un- 
less they  cause  some  to  fail 

17  For  they  eat  the  bread  of 
wickedness,  and  drink  the  wine 
of  violence. 

18  But  the  path  of  the  just  is 
as  the  shining  light,  that  shin- 
eth  more  and  more  unto  the 
perfect  day. 

19  The  way  of  the  wicked  is 
as  darkness :  they  know  not  at 
what  they  stumble. 

20  IF  My  son,  attend  to  my 
words;  incline  thine  ear  unto 
my  sayings. 

21  Let  them  not  depart  from 
thine  eyes;  keep  them  in  the 
midst  of  thine  heart. 

22  For  they  are  life  unto 
those  that  find  them,  and 
health  to  all  their  flesh. 

23  H  Keep  thy  heart  with  all 
diligence ;  for  out  of  it  are  the 
issues  of  life* 

24  Put  away  from  thee  a  fro- 
ward mouth,  and  perverse  lips 
put  far  from  thee. 

25  Let  thine  eyes  look  right 
on,  and  let  thine  eyelids  look 
straight  before  thee. 

26  Ponder  the  path  of  thy 
feet,  and  let  all  thy  ways  be 
established. 

27  Turn  not  to  the  right  hand 
nor  to  the  left:  remove  thy 
foot  from  evil. 

CHAPTER  5 
Solomon  exhort*  to  study  wisdom, 

MY  son,  attend  unto  my  wis- 
dom, and  bow  thine  ear 
to  my  understanding : 

2  That  thou  may  est  regard  dis- 
cretion, and  that  thy  lips  may 
keep  knowledge. 

3  If  For  the  lips  of  a  strange 
woman  drop  as  an  honeycomb, 
and  her  mouth  is  smoother 
than  oil: 

4  But  her  end  is  bitter  as 
wormwood,  sharp  as  a  twoedged 
sword. 

5  Her  feet  go  down  to  death ; 
her  steps  take  hold  on  hell.

6  Lest  thou  shouldest  ponder 
the  path  of  life,  her  ways  are 
moveable,  that  thou  canst  not 
know  them. 

7  Hear  me  now  therefore,  0 
ye  children,  and  depart  not 
from  the  words  of  my  mouth* 

8  Remove  thy  way  far  from 
her,  and  come  not  nigh  the 
door  of  her  house: 

9  Lest  thou  give  thine  honour 
unto  others,  and  thy  years  un- 
to the  cruel: 

10  Lest  strangers  be  filled 
with  thy  wealth;  and  thy  la* 
bours  be  in  the  house  of  a 
stranger; 

11  And  thou  mourn  at  the  last, 
when  thy  flesh  and  thy  body 
are  consumed, 

12  And  say,  How  have  I  hated 
instruction,  and  my  heart  de- 
spised reproof; 

13  And  have  not  obeyed  the 
voice  of  my  teachers,  nor  in- 
clined mine  ear  to  them  that 
instructed  mel 

14  I  was  almost  in  all  evil  in 
the  midst  of  the  congregation 
and  assembly. 

15  UDrink  waters  out  of  thine 
own  cistern,  and  running  waters 
out  of  thine  own  well. 

16  Let  thy  fountains  be  dis- 
persed abroad,  and  rivers  of 
waters  in  the  streets. 

17  Let  them  be   only  thine 
wn,  and  not  strangers'  with 

thee. 

18  Let  thy  fountain  be  blessed 
and  rejoice  with  the  wife  of  thy 
youth. 

19  Let  her  be  as  the  loving 
hind  and  pleasant  roe ;  let  her 
breasts  satisfy  thee  at  all  times; 
and  be  thou  ravished  always 
with  her  love. 

20  And  why  wilt  thou,  my  son, 
be  ravished  with  a  strange 
woman,  and  embrace  the  bosom 
of  a  stranger? 

21  For  the  ways  of  man  are 
before  the  eyes  of  the  Lord, 
and  he  pondereth  all  his  goings. 

22  His  own  iniquities  shall 
take  the  wicked  himself,  and 
he  shall  be  holden  with  the 
cords  of  his  sins. 

23  He  shall  die  without  in- 
struction ;  and  in  the  greatness 
of  his  folly  he  shall  go  astray. 

CHAPTER  6 

Against  suretyship,  6  and  idleness, 
16  Seven  things  hateful  to  God,  20 
Blessings  of  obedience.  25  Mischiefs 
of  whoredom. 

MY  son,  if  thou  be  surety  for 
thy  friend,  if  thou  hast 
stricken  thy  hand  with  a  stran- 
ger, 
2  Thou  art  snared  with  the 


words  of  thy  mouth,  thou  art 
taken  with  the  words  of  thy 
mouth. 

3  Do  this  now,  my  son,  and 
deliver  thyself,  when  thou  art 
come  into  the  hand  of  thy 
friend ;  go,  humble  thyself,  and 
make  sure  thy  friend. 

4  Give  not  steep  to  thine  eyes, 
nor  slumber  to  thine  eyelids. 

5  Deliver  thyself  as  a  roe  from 
the  hand  of  the  hunter,  and 
as  a  bird  from  the  hand  of  the 
fowler. 

6  IT  Go  to  the  ant,  thou  slug- 
gard; consider  her  ways,  and 
be  wise: 

7  Which  having  no  guide, 
overseer,  or  ruler, 

8  Provideth  her  meat  in  the 
summer,  and  gathereth  her  food 
in  the  harvest 

9  How  long  wilt  thou  sleep,  O 
sluggard  ?  when  wilt  thou  arise 
out  of  thy  sleep? 

10  Yet  a  little  sleep,  a  little 
slumber,  a  little  folding  of  the 
hands  to  sleep: 

11  So  shall  thy  poverty  come 
as  one  that  travelleth,  and  thy 
want  as  an  armed  man. 

12  IT  A  naughty  person,  a 
wicked  man,  walketh  with  a 
froward  mouth. 

13  He  winketh  with  his  eyes, 
he  speaketh  with  his  feet,  he 
teacheth  with  his  fingers; 

14  Frowardnessi*  in  his  heart; 
he  deviseth  mischief  continu- 
ally; he  soweth  discord. 

15  Therefore  shall  his  calamity 
come  suddenly ;  suddenly  shall 
he  be  broken  without  remedy. 

16  IT  These  six  things  doth 
the  Lord  hate:  yea,  seven  are 
an  abomination  unto  him : 

17  A  proud  look,  a  lying 
tongue,  and  hands  that  shed  in- 
nocent blood, 

18  An  heart  that  deviseth 
wicked  imaginations,  feet  that 
be  swift  in  running  to  mis- 
chief, 

19  A  false  witness  that 
speaketh  lies,  and  he  that  sow- 
eth discord  among  brethren. 

20  tMy  son,  keep  thy  father's 
commandment,  and  forsake  not 
the  law  of  thy  mother : 

21  Bind  them  continually  up- 
on thine  heart,  and  tie  them 
about  thy  neck. 

22  When  thou  goest,  it  shall 
lead  thee ;  when  thou  sleepest, 
it  shall  keep  thee ;  and  when 
thou  awakest,  it  shall  talk  with 
thee. 

23  For  the  commandment  is 
a  lamp;  and  the  law  is  light; 
and  reproofs  of  instruction  are 
the  way  of  life:

24  To  keep  thee  from  the 
evil  woman,  from  the  flattery 
of  the  tongue  of  a  strange 
woman. 

25  Lust  not  after  her  beauty 
in  thine  heart;  neither  let  her 
take  thee  with  her  eyelids. 

26  For  by  means  of  a  whor- 
ish  woman  a  man  is  brought 
to  a  piece  of  bread:  and  the 
adulteress  will  hunt  for  the 
precious  life. 

27  Can  a  man  take  fire  in 
his  bosom,  and  his  clothes  not 
be  burned? 

28  Can  one  go  upon  hot  coals, 
and  his  feet  not  be  burned? 

29  So  he  that  goeth  in  to  his 
neighbour's  wife;  whosoever 
toucheth  her  shall  not  be  in- 
nocent 

30  Men  do  not  despise  a 
thief,  if  he  steal  to  satisfy  his 
soul  when  he  is  hungry; 

31  Butt/ he  be  found,  he  shall 
restore  sevenfold;  he  shall  give 
all  the  substance  of  his  house. 

32  But  whoso  committeth 
adultery  with  a  woman  lacketh 
understanding:  he  that  doeth 
it  destroyeth  his  own  soul. 

33  A  wound  and  dishonour 
shall  he  get;  and  his  reproach 
shall  not  be  wiped  away. 

34  For  jealousy  is  the  rage 
of  a  man :  therefore  he  will  not 
spare  in  the  day  of  vengeance. 

35  He  will  not  regard  any 
ransom;  neither  will  he  rest 
content,  though  thou  givest 
many  gifts.

from  the  strange  woman,  from 
the  stranger  which  fiattereth 
with  her  words. 

6  UFor  at  the  window  of  my 
house  I  looked  through  my 
casement, 

7  And  beheld  among  the  sim- 
ple ones,  I  discerned  among 
the  youths,  a  young  man  void 
of  understanding, 

8  Passing  through  the  street 
near  her  corner;  and  he  went 
the  way  to  her  house, 


9  In  the  twilight,  in  the 
evening,  in  the  black  and  dark 
night: 

10  And,  behold,  there  met 
him  a  woman  with  the  attire 
of  an  harlot,  and  subtil  of 
heart 

11  (She  is  loud  and  stub- 
born; her  feet  abide  not  in 
her  house: 

12  Now  is  she  without,  now 
in  the  streets,  and  lieth  in 
wait  at  every  corner.) 

13  So  she  caught  him,  and 
kissed  him,  and  with  an  im- 
pudent face  said  unto  him, 

14  I  have  peace  offerings 
with  me ;  this  day  have  I  payed 
my  vows. 

15  Therefore  came  I  forth  to 
meet  thee,  diligently  to  seek  thy 
face,  and  I  have  found  thee. 

16  I  have  decked  my  bed 
with  coverings  of  tapestry, 
with  carved  works,  with  fine 
linen  of  E'&jfpt 

17  I  have  perfumed  my  bed 
with  myrrh,  aloes,  and  cinna- 
mon. 

- 18  Come,  let  us  take  our  fill 
of  love  until  the  morning :  let 
us  solace  ourselves  with  loves. 

19  For  the  goodman  is  not 
at  home,  he  is  gone  a  long 
journey : 

20  He  hath  taken  a  bag  of 
money  with  him,  and  will  come 
home  at  the  day  appointed. 

21  With  her  much  fair  speech 
she  caused  him  to  yield,  with 
the  flattering  of  her  lips  she 
forced  him. 

22  He  goeth  after  her  straight- 
way, as  an  ox  goeth  to  the 
slaughter,  or  as  a  fool  to  the 
correction  of  the  stocks ; 

23  Till  a  dart  strike  through 
his  liver;  as  a  bird  hasteth  to 
the  snare,  and  knoweth  not  that 
it  is  for  his  life. 

24  IT  Hearken  unto  me  now 
therefore,  0  ye  children,  and 
attend  to  the  words  of  my 
mouth. 

25  Let  not  thine  heart  decline 
to  her  ways,  go  not  astray  in  her 
paths. 

26  For  she  hath  cast  down 
many  wounded:  yea,  many 
strong  men  have  been  slain 
by  her. 

27  Her  house  is  the  way  to 
hell,  going  down  to  the  cham 
bers  of  death.

2  She  standeth  in  the  top  of 
high  places,  by  the  way  in  the 
places  of  the  paths. 

3  She  crieth  at  the  gates,  at 
the  "entry  of  the  city,  at  the 
coming  in  at  the  doors. 

4  Unto  you,  O  men,  I  call ;  and 
my  voice  is  to  the  sons  of  man. 

5  O  ye  simple,  understand  wis- 
dom :  and,  ye  fools,  be  ye  of  an 
understanding  heart 

6  Hear;  for  I  will  speak  of  ex* 
cellent  things ;  and  the  opening 
of  my  lips  shall  be  right  things. 

7  For  my  mouth  shall  speak 
truth;   and  wickedness  is 
abomination  to  my  lips. 

8  All  the  words  of  my  mouth 
are  in  righteousness;  there  is 
nothing  f  roward  or  perverse  in 
them. 

9  They  are  all  plain  to  him 
that  understandeth,  and  right 
to  them  that  find  knowledge. 

10  Receive  my  instruction, 
and  not  silver ;  and  knowledge 
rather  than,  choice  gold. 

11  For  wisdom  is  better  than 
rubies ;  and  all  the  things  that 
may  be  desired  are  not  to  be 
compared  to  it 

12  I  wisdom  dwell  with  pru- 
dence, and  find  out  knowledge 
of  witty  inventions. 

13  The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  to 
hate  evil:  pride,  and  arrogancy, 
and  the  evil  way,  and  the  fro- 
ward  mouth,  do  I  hate. 

14  Counsel  is  mine,  and  sound 
wisdom :  I  am  understanding ;  I 
have  strength. 

15  By  me  kings  reign,  and 
princes  decree  justice. 

16  By  me  princes  rule,  and 
nobles,  even  all  the  judges  of 
the  earth. 

17  I  love  them  that  love  me ; 
and  those  that  seek  me  early 
shall  find  me. 

18  Riches  and  honour  are 
with  me;  yea,  durable  riches 
and  righteousness. 

19  My  fruit  is  better  than 
gold,  yea,  than  fine  gold;  and 
my  revenue  than  choice  silver. 

20  I  lead  in  the  way  of  right- 
eousness, in  the  midst  of  the 
paths  of  judgment : 

21  That  I  may  cause  those  that 
love  me  to  inherit  substance; 
and  I  will  fill  their  treasures. 

22  The  Lord  possessed  me  in 
the  beginning  of  his  way,  before 
his  works  of  old. 

23  I  was  set  up  from  everlast- 
ing, from  the  beginning,  or  ever 
the  earth  was. 

24  When  there  were  no 
depths,  I  was  brought  forth; 


25  Before  the  mountains  were 
settled,  before  the  hills  was  I 
brought  forth : 

26  While  as  yet  he  had  not 
made  the  earth,  nor  the  fields, 
nor  the  highest  part  of  the  dust 
of  the  world. 

27  When  he  prepared  the 
heavens,  I  was  there :  when  he 
set  a  compass  upon  the  face  of 
the  depth : 

28  When  he  established  the 
clouds  above:  when  hestrength- 
ened  the  fountains  of  the  deep : 

29  When  he  gave  to  the  sea 
his  decree,  that  the  waters 
should  not  pass  his  command- 
ment: when  he  appointed  the 
foundations  of  the  earth : 

30  Then  I  was  by  him,  as  one 
brought  up  with  him :  and  I  was 
daily  his  delight,  rejoicing  al- 
ways before  him ; 

31  Rejoicing  in  the  habitable 
part  of  his  earth ;  and  my  de- 
lights were  with  the  sons  of 
men. 

32  Now  therefore  hearken  un- 
to me,  O  ye  children :  for  blessed 
are  they  that  keep  my  ways. 

33  Hear  instruction,  and  be 
wise,  and  refuse  it  not 

34  Blessed  is  the  man  that 
heareth  me,  watching  daily  at 
my  gates,  waiting  at  the  posts 
of  my  doors. 

35  For  whoso  findeth  me  find- 
eth  life,  and  shall  obtain  favour 
of  the  Lord. 

36  But  he  that  sinneth  against 
me  wrongeth  his  own  soul :  all 
they  that  hate  me  love  death. 

CHAPTER  9 

Discipline  and  doctrine  of  wisdom 

Custom  and  error  of  folly. 

WISDOM  hath  builded  her 
house,  she  hath  hewn  out 
her  seven  pillars : 

2  She  hath  killed  her  beasts; 
she  hath  mingled  her  wine ;  she 
hath  also  furnished  her  table. 

3  She  hath  sent  forth  her 
maidens:  she  crieth  upon  the 
highest  places  of  the  city, 

4  Whoso  is  simple,  let  him 
turn  in  hither:  as  for  him 
that  wanteth  understanding, 
she  saith  to  him, 

5  Come,  eat  of  my  bread,  and 
drink  of  the  wine  which  I  have 
mingled. 

6  Forsake  the  foolish,  and 
live;  and  go  in  the  way  of 
understanding. 

7  He  that  reproveth  a  scorner 
getteth  to  himself  shame:  and 
he  that  rebuketh  a  wicked  man 
getteth  himself  a  blot 

8  Reprove  not  a  scorner,  lest 


when  there  were  no  fountains! he  hate  thee:  rebuke  a  wise 
abounding  with  water.  I  man,  and  he  will  love  thee.

9  Give  instruction  to  a  wise 
man,  and  he  will  be  yet  wiser: 
teach  a  just  man,  and  he  will 
increase  in  learning. 

10  The  fear  of  the  Lord  is 
the  beginning  of  wisdom:  and 
the  knowledge  of  the  holy  is 
understanding. 

11  For  by  me  thy  days  shall 
be  multiplied,  and  the  years  of 
thy  life  shall  be  increased. 

12  If  thou  be  wise,  thou  shalt 
be  wise  for  thyself:  but  if 
thou  scornest,  thou  alone  shalt 
bear  it. 

13  HA  foolish  woman  is  clam- 
orous: she  is  simple,  and  know- 
eth  nothing. 

14  For  she  sitteth  at  the  door 
of  her  house,  on  a  seat  in  the 
high  places  of  the  city, 

15  To  call  passengers  who  go 
right  on  their  ways : 

16  Whoso  is  simple,  Jet-  him 
turn  in  hither :  ana  as  for  him 
that  wanteth  understanding, 
she  saith  to  him, 

17  Stolen  waters  axe  sweet, 
and  bread  eaten  in ;  secret  is 
pleasant. ' 

18  But  he  knoweth  not  that 
the  dead  are  there;  and  that 
her  guests  are  in  the. depths  of 
hell. 

CHAPTER  10 


From  this  chapter  to  the  five  and 
twentieth  ate  sundry  observations 
of  virtues,  and  their  contrary  vices. 

THE  proverbs  of  SoTo-mon. 
A  wise  son  maketh  a  glad 
father:  but  a  foolish  son  is  the 
heaviness  of  his  mother. 

2  Treasures  of  wickedness 
profit  nothing:  but  righteous- 
ness delivereth  from  death. 

3  The  Lord  will  not  suffer  the 
soul  of  the  righteous  to  famish 
but  he  casteth  away  the  sub- 
stance of  the  wicked, 

4  He  becometh  poor  that  deal* 
eth  with  a  slack  nand :  but  the 
hand  of  the  diligent  maketh 
rich. 

5  He  that  gathereth  in  sum- 
mer is  a  wise  son :  but  he  that 
sleepeth  in  harvest  is  a  son 
that  causeth  shame. 

6  Blessings  are  upon  the  head 
of  the  just:  but  violence  cover- 
eth  the  mouth  of  the  wicked. 

7  The  memory  of  the  just  is 
blessed:  but  the  name  of  the 
wicked  shall  rot 

8  The  wise  in  heart  will  re- 
ceive commandments:  but  a 
prating  fool  shall  faJL 

9  He  that  walketh  uprightly 
walketh  surely:  but  he  that 
perverteth  his  ways  shall  be 
known. 

10  He  that  wtnketh  with  the 


eye  causeth  sorrow:  but  a  prat- 
ing fool  shall  fall  • 

11  The  mouth  of  a  righteous 
man  is  a  well  of  life:  but  vio- 
lence covereth  the  mouth  of 
the  wicked. 

12  Hatred  stirreth  up  strifes 
but  love  covereth  all  sins. 

13  In  the  lips  •  of  him  that 
hath  understanding  wisdom  is 
found :  but  a  rod  is  for  the  back 
of  him  that  is  void  of  under* 
standing. 

14  Wise  men  lay  up  knowl- 
edge: but  the  mouth  of  the 
foolish  is  near  destruction. 

15  The  rich  man's  wealth  is 
his  strong  city:  the  destruction 
of  the  poor  is  their  poverty. 

16  The  labour  of  the  right- 
eous tendeth  to  life:  the  fruit 
of  the  wicked  to  sin. 

17  He  is  in  the  way  of  life 
that  keepeth  instruction:  but 
he  that  refuseth  reproof  erreth. 

18  He  that  hideth  hatred  with 
lying  lips,  and  he  that  uttereth 
a  slander,  is  a  f  ooL 

19  In  the  multitude  of  words 
there  wanteth  not  sine  but  he 
that  refraineth  his  lips  is  wise. 

20  The  tongue  of  the  just  is 
as  choice  silver:  the.  heart  of 
the  wicked  is  little  worth. 

21  The  lips  of  the  righteous 
feed  many:  but  fools  die  for 
want  of  wisdom. 

22  The  blessing  of  the  Lord.

no  sorrow  with  it

do  mischief:  but  a  man  of  un- 
derstanding hath  wisdom* 

24  The  fear  of  the  wicked;  it 
shall  come  upon  him :  but  the 
desire  of  the  righteous  shall  be 
granted. 

25  As  the  whirlwind  passeth, 
so  is  the  wicked  no  more :  but 
the  righteous  is  an  everlasting 
foundation. 

26  As  vinegar  to  the  teeth, 
and  as  smoke  to  the  eyes,  so  is 
the  sluggard  to  them  that  send 
him. 

27  The  fear  of  the  Lord  pro- 
longeth  dap :  but  the  years  of 
the  wicked  shall  be  shortened. 

28  The  hope  of  the  righteous 
shall  be  gladness:  but  the  ex- 
pectation of  the  wicked. shall 
perish. 

29  The  way  of  the  Lord  is 
strength  to  the  upright:  but 
destruction  shall  be  to  the 
workers  of  iniquity. 

30  The  righteous  shall  never 
be  removed:  but  the-  wicked 
shall  not  inhabit  the  earth.

bringeth  forth  wisdom ;  but  the

:    CHAPTER  II 

A  FALSE  balance  is  abomi- 
nation -to  the  Lord!  but 
a  just  weight-  ie  his  delight 

2  When  pride  cometh.  then 
cometh  shame:  but  with  the 
lowly  is  wisdom. 

3  The  integrity  of  the  upright 
shall  guide  them:  'but  the  per- 
verseoesftvof  transgressors  shall 
destroy  them. 

4  Riches1  profit  not  in  the  day 
of  wrath :  •  but  righteousness  de- 
llvereth  from  death. 

5  The  righteousness  of  the 
perfect  shall  direct  his  way: 
but  the  wicked  shall  fall  by  his 
own  wickedness* 

6  The  righteousness  of  the  up- 
right shall  deliver  •  them :  but 
transgressors  shall  be  taken  in 
their  own  naughtiness. 

<  7  When  a  wicked  man  dieth, 
Ms  expectation  shall  perish 
and  the  hope  of  unjust  men 
perisheth.    ■ 

8  The:  righteous  is  delivered 
out  of  trouble,  and  the  wicked 
cometh  m  his  stead. 

9  An  hypocrite  with  his 
mouth  destroyeth  his  neigh- 
bour: but  through  knowledge 
shall  the  just  be  delivered. 

10  When  it  goeth  well  with 
the  righteous,  the  city  rejoic- 
ethi  and  when  the  wicked 
perish;  there  is  shouting. 

li  By  the  blessing  of  the  up- 
right the  city  is  exalted:  but  it 
is1  overthrown  by  the  mouth  of 
the  wicked. 

12  He  that  is  void  of  wisdom 
despiseth  his  neighbour:  but  a 
man  of  understanding  holdeth 
his  peace.  

13  A  talebearer  revealeth  se- 
crets :  but  he  that  is  of  a  faith- 
ful spirit  concealeth  the  matter. 

14  Where  no  counsel  is,  the 
people  fall :  but  in  the  multi- 
tude of  counsellors  there  is 
safer/.  f    : 

15  He  that  is  surety  for  a 
stranger  shall  smart  for  it: 
and  he  that  hateth  suretishtp 
is  sure. 

16  A  gracious  woman  retain- 
eth  honour?  and  strong  men 
retain'  riches. 

17  The  merciful  man  doeth 
good  to  his  own  soul :  but  he 
that  is  cruel  troubleth  his  own 
flesh.  • 

18  The  wfcked  worketh  a  de- 
ceitful work:  but  to  him  that 


soweth  righteousness  shall  be 
a  sure  reward. 

19  As  righteousness  tendeth 
to  life:  so  he  that  pursueth 
evil  pursueth  it  to  his  own 
death. 

20  They  that  are  of  a  froward 
heart  are  abomination  to  the 
Lord:  but  such  as  are  upright 
in  their  way  are  his  delight 

21  Though  hand  join  in  hsjid, 
the  wicked  shall  not  be  un- 
punished:  but  the  seed  of  the 

shall  be  delivered. 


As  a  jewel  of  gold  in  a 
swine's  snout,  so  is  a  fair  wom- 
an which  is  without  discretion. 

23  The  desire  of  the  righteous 
ta  only  good:  but  the  expecta- 
tion of  the  wicked  ie  wrath. 

24  There  is  that  scattereth, 
and  yet  increaseth;  and  there 
ie  that  withholdeth  more  than 
is  meet  but  it  tendeth  to  pov

The  liberal  soul  shall  be 
made  fat:  and  he  that  watereth 
shall  be  watered  also  himself. 

26  He  that  withholdeth  corn, 
the  people  shall  curse  him:  but 
blessing  shall  be  upon  the  head 
of  him  that  selleth  it 

27  He  that  diligently  seeketh 
good  procureth  favour:  but  he 
that  seeketh  mischief,  it  shall 
come  unto  him. 

28  He  that  trusteth  in  his 
riches  shall  fall :  but  the  right- 
eous shall  flourish  as  a  branch. 

29  He  that  troubleth  his  own 
house  shall  inherit  the  wind: 
and  the  fool  shall  be  servant  to 
the  wise  of  heart ' 

30  The  fruit  of  the  righteous 
is  a  tree  of  life;  and  ne  that 
winneth  souls  is  wise* 

31  Behold,  the  righteous  shall 
be  recompensed  in  the  earth 
much  more  the  wicked  and  the 
sinner. 

CHAPTER  12 

WHOSO  loveth  instruction 
loveth  knowledge:  but  he 
that  hateth  reproof  is  brutish. 

2  A  good  man  obtaineth  fa- 
vour of  the  Lord  :  but  a  man 
of  wicked  devices  will  he  con- 
demn. 

3  A  man  shall  not  be  estab- 
lished by  wickedness:  but  the 
root  of  the  righteous  shall  not 
be  moved. 

4  A  virtuous  woman  is  a 
crown  to  her  husband :  but  she 
that  maketh  ashamed  is  as  rot- 
tenness in  his  bones. 

5  The  thoughts  of  the  right- 
eous are  right:  but  the  coun- 
sels of  the  wicked  are  deceit 

6  The  words  of  the  wicked 
are  to  lie  in  wait  for  blood

bat  the  month  of  the  upright 
shall  deliver  them. 

7  The  wicked  are  overthrown, 
and  are  not :  but  the  house  of 
the  righteous  shall  stand. 

8  A  man  shall  be  commended 
according  to  his  wisdom:  but 
he  that  is  of  a  perverse  heart 
shall  be  despised. 

9  He  that  is  despised,  and 
hath  a  servant,  is  better  than 
he  that  honoureth  himself,  and 
lacketh  bread. 

10  A  righteous  man  regard- 
eth  the  life  of  his  beast;  but 
the  tender  mercies  of  the:  wick 
ed  are  cruel 

11  He  that  tilleth  his  land 
shall  be  satisfied  with  bread: 
but  he  that  followeth  vain  per- 
sons is  void  of  understanding. 

12  The  wicked  desireth  the 
net  of  evil  men:  but  the  root 
of  the  righteous  yieldeth /ruit 

13  The  wicked  is  snared  by 
the  transgression  of  his  lips: 
but  the  just  shall  come  out  of 
trouble. 

14  A  man  shall  be  satisfied 
with  good  by  the  fruit  of  his 
mouth :  and  the  recompence  of 
a  man's  hands  shall  be  rendered 
unto  him. 

15  The  way  of  a  fool  is  right 
in  his  own  eyes:  but  he  that 
hearkeneth  unto  counsel  &  wise. 

16  A  fool's  wrath  is  presently 
known:  but  a  prudent  man  cov- 
ereth  shame. 

17  He  that  speaketh  truth 
sheweth  forth  righteousness: 
but  a  false  witness  deceit 

18  There  is  that  speaketh  like 
the  piercings  of  a  sword:  but 
the  tongue  of  the  wise  is  health. 

19  The  lip  of  truth  shall  be 
established  for  ever:  but  a  ly- 
ing tongue  is  but  for  a  moment 

20  Deceit  is  in  the  heart  of 
them  that  imagine  evil :  but  to 
the  counsellors  of  peace  is  joy. 

21  There  shall  no  evil  happen 
to  the  just :  but  the  wicked  shall 
be  filled  with  mischief. 

22  Lying  lips  are  abomination 
to  the  Lord  :  but  they  that  deal 
truly  are  his  delight 

23  A  prudent  man  concealeth 
knowledge:  but  the  heart  of 
fools  proclaimeth  foolishness. 

24  The  hand  of  the  diligent 
shall  bear  rule:  but  the  sloth- 
ful shall  be  under  tribute. 

25  Heaviness  in  the  heart  of 
man  maketh  it  stoop:  but  a 
good  word  maketh  it  glad. 

26  The  righteous  is  more  ex- 
cellent than  his  neighbour:  but 
the  way  of  the  wicked  seduceth 
them. 

27  The  slothful  man  roasteth 


not  that  which  he  took  in  hunt^ 
ing :  but  the  substance  of  a  dili- 
gent man  is  precious.  •' 
28  In  the  way  of  righteous-

way thereof-  there  is  mo  death. 

CHAPTER  13/ 

A  WISE  son  hemreih  his  fa- 
ther's instruction  :!•  but  a

3  He  that  keepeth  his  month

ing: but  a  wicked  man  is  loath- 
some, and  cometh  to  shame. 

6  Righteousness  keepeth1  Him 
that  is  upright  in  the  way :  but 
wickedness  overthroweth  ihe 

inner.  ■»    • 

7  There,  is  that  ^maketh  him- 
self rich,  yet  hath  nothing: 
there  is  that  maketh  himself 
poor,  yet  hath  great  riches. 

8  The  ransom  of  a  man's  life 
are  his  riches:  butthepoorhear- 
eth  not  rebuke. 

9  The  light  of  the  righteous 
rejoiceth :  but  the  lamp  of  the 
wicked  shall  be  put  out 

10  Only  by  pride  cometh  con 
tendon:  but  with  the  well  ad- 
vised is  wisdom. 

11  Wealth  gotten  by  vanity 
shall  be  diminished:  but  he 
that  gathereth  by  labour  shall 
increase. 

12  Hope  deferred  maketh  the 
heart  sick :  but  when  the  desire 
cometh,  it  is  a  tree  of  life.  > 

13  Whoso  despiseth  the  word 
shall  be  destroyed :  but  he  that 
f eareth  the  commandment  shall 
be  rewarded. 

14  The  law  of  the  wise  is  a 
fountain  of  life/  to  depart  from1 
the  snares  of  death. 

15  Good  understanding  giveth 
favour:  but  the  way  of  trans- 
gressors ts  hard. 

16  Every  prudent  man  -deal- 
eth  with  knowledge :  but  a  fool 
layeth  open  his  folly. 

17  A  wicked  messenger  fall" 
eth  into  mischief :  but  a  faithful 
ambassador  is  health.     » 

18  Poverty  and  shame  shall 
be  to  him  that  refuseth  instruc- 
tion :  but  he  that  regardeth  re- 
proof shall  be  honoured.

is  sweet  to  the  souL:  but  it  is 
abomination  to  fools  to  depart 
from  evil. 

20  He  that  walketh  with 
wise  men  shall  be  wise :  bat  a 
companion  of  fools  shall  be  de- 
stroyed. 

21  Evil  pursueth  sinners :  but 
to  the  righteous  good  shall  be 
repayed. 

22  A  good  man  ieaveth  an 
inheritance  to  his  children's 
children:  and  the  wealth  of  the 
sinner  ta  laid  up  for  the  just 

23  Much  food  is  in  the  tillage 
of  the  poor:  but  there  is  t  hat  is 
destroyed  for  want  of  judgment: 

24  He  that  spareth  his  rod 
hateth  his  son:  but  he  that 
loveth  him  chasteneth  him  be- 
times. 

25  The  righteous  eateth  to 
the  satisfying  of  his  soul:  but 
the  belly  of  the  wicked  shall 
want. 

CHAPTER  14 

EVERY  wise  woman  build- 
eth  her  house:  but  the 
foolish  plucketh  it  down  with 
her  hands. 

2  He  that  walketh  in  his  up- 
rightness f  eareth  the  Lord  :  but 
he  thai  is  perverse  in  his  ways 
despiaeth  him. 

3  In  the  mouth  of  the  foolish 
is  a  rod  of  pride :  but  the  lips  of 
the  wise  shall  preserve  them. 

4  Where  no  oxen  are*  the  crib 
is  dean:,, but  much  increase  is 
by  the  strength  of  the  ox. 

5  A  faithful  witness  will  not 
lie:  but  a  false  witness  will  ut- 
ter lies. 

6  A  scorner  seeketh  wisdom, 
sjaAfindeth  it  not:  but  knowl- 
edge is  easy  unto  him  that  un- 


7  Go  from  the  presence  of  a 
foolish  man,  when  thouper- 
ceivest  not  in  him  the  lips  of 
knowledge.:   •     . 

8  The  wisdom  of  the  prudent 
is  to  understand  his  war:  but 
the  folly  of  fools  is  deceit 

9  Fools  make  a  mock  at  sin: 
but  among  the  righteous  there 
is  favour. 

10  The  heart  knoweth  hisoWn 
bitterness ;  and  a  stranger  doth 
not  intermeddle  with  his  joy. 

11  The  house  of  the  wicked 
shall  be  overthrown;  but  the 
tabernacle  of  the  upright  shall 
flourish. 

12  There  is  a  way  which 
seemeth  right  unto  a  man,  but 
the  end  thereof  are  the  ways  of 
death. 

13  Even  in  laughter  the  heart 
is  sorrowful ;  and  the  end  of  that 
mirth  is  heaviness. 


14  The  backslider  in  heart 
shall  be  filled  with  his 
ways :  and  a  good  man  shall  be 
satisfied  from  himself. 

15  The  simple  believeth  every 
word:  but  the  prudent  man  look- 
eth  well  to  his  going. 

16  A  wise  man  leareth,  and 
departeth  from  evil:  but  the 
fool  rageth,  and  is  confident 

17  He  that  is  soon  angry 
dealeth  foolishly:  and  a  man 
of  wicked  devices  is  hated. 

18  The  simple  inherit  folly: 
but  the  prudent  are  crowned 
with  knowledge. 

19  The  evil  bow  before  the 
good;  and  the  wicked  at  the 
gates  of  the  righteous. 

20  The  poor  is  hated  even  of 
his  own  neighbour:  but  the  rich 
hath  many  friends. 

21  He  that  despiseth  his  neigh- 
bour sinneth:  but  he  that  hath 
mercy  on  the  poor,  happv  is  he. 

22  Do  they  not  err  that  de- 
vise evil?  but  mercy  and  truth 
shall  be  to  them  that  devise 
good. 

23  In  all  labour  there  is  profit : 
but  the  talk  of  the  lips  tendeth 
only  to  penury. 

24  The  crown  of  the  wise  is 
their  riches:  but  the  foolish- 
ness of  fools  is  folly. 

25  A  true  witness  delivereth 
souls:  but  a  deceitful  witness 
speaketh  lies. 

26  In  the  fear  of  the  Lord 
is  strong  confidence:  and  his 
children  shall  have  a  place  of 
refuge. 

27  The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  a 
fountain  of  life,  to  depart  from 
the  snares  of  death. 

28  In  the  multitude  of  people 
is  the  king's  honour :  but  in  the 
want  of  people  is  the  destruc- 
tion of  the  prince. 

29  He  that  is  slow  to  wrath

35  The  king's  favour  is  to- 
ward a  wise  servant:  but  his 
wrath  is  against  him  that 
causeth  shame. 

CHAPTER  15 

A  SOFT  answer  turneth  away 
wrath:  but  grievous  words 
stir  up  anger. 

2  The  tongue  of  the  wise  us- 
eth  knowledge  aright:  but  the 
mouth  of  fools  poureth  out  fool- 
ishness. 

3  The  eyes  of  the  Lord  are 
in  every  nlace,  beholding  the 
evil  and  the  good 

4  A  wholesome  tongue  is  a 
tree  of  life:  but  nerverseness 
therein  is  a  breach  in  the  spirit 

5  A  fool  despiseth  his  father's 
instruction :  but  he  that  regard- 
eth  reproof  is  prudent 

6  In  the  house  of  the  right- 
eous is  much  treasure :  but  in 
the  revenues  of  the  wicked  is 
trouble. 

7  The  lips  of  the  wise  dis- 
perse knowledge :  but  the  heart 
of  the  foolish  doeth  not  so. 

8  The  sacrifice  of  the  wicked 
is  an  abomination  to  the  Lord  : 
but  the  prayer  of  the  upright  is 
his  delight 

9  The  way  of  the  wicked  is 
an  abomination  unto  the  Lord: 
but  he  loveth  him  that  follow- 
eth  after  righteousness. 

10  Correction  is  grievous  un- 
to him  that  f orsaketh  the  way : 
and  he  that  hateth  reproof  shall 
die. 

11  Hell  and  destruction  are 
before  the  Lord:  how  much 
more  then  the  hearts  of  the 
children  of  men? 

12  A  scorner  loveth  not  one 
that  reproveth  him:  neither 
will  he  go  unto  the  wise. 

13  A  merry  heart  maketh  a 
cheerful  countenance:  but  bv 
sorrow  of  the  heart  the  spirit 
is  broken. 

14  The  heart  of  him  that  hath 
understanding  seeketh  knowl- 
edge: but  the  mouth  of  fools 
feedeth  on  foolishness. 

15  All  the  days  of  the  afflict- 
ed are  evil :  but  he  that  is  of  a 
merry  heart  hath  a  continual 
feast 

16  Better  is  little  with  the 
fear  of  the  Lord  than  great 
treasure  and  trouble  therewith. 

17  Better  is  a  dinner  of  herbs 
where  love  is,  than  a  stalled  ox 
and  hatred  therewith. 

18  A  wrathful  man  stirreth 
up  strife:  but  he  that  is  slow 
to  anger  appeaseth  strife. 

19  The  way  of  the  slothful 
man  is  as  an  hedge  of  thorns : 


but  the  way  of  the  righteous 
is  made  plain. 

20  A  wise  son  maketh  a  glad 
father:  but  a  foolish  man  de- 
spiseth his  mother. 

21  Folly  is  joy  to  him  that  is 
destitute  of  wisdom :  but  a  man 
of  understanding  walketh  up- 
rightly. 

22  Without  counsel  purposes 
are  disappointed:  but  in  the 
multitude  of  counsellors  they 
are  established. 

23  A  man  hath  joy  by  the  an- 
swer of  his  mouth :  and  a  word 
spoken  in  due  season,  how  good 
isit! 

24  The  way  of  life  is  above 
to  the  wise,  that  he  may  depart 
from  hell  beneath. 

25  The  Lord  will  destroy  the 
house  of  the  proud:  but  he 
will  establish  the  border  of  the 
widow. 

26  The  thoughts  of  the  wick- 
ed are  an  abomination  to  the 
Lord:  but  the  words  of  the 
pure  are  pleasant  words. 

27  He  that  is  greedy  of  gain 
troubleth  his  own  house;  but 
he  that  hateth  gifts  shall  live. 

28  The  heart  of  the  righteous 
studieth  to  answer:  but  the 
mouth  'of  the  wicked  poureth 
out  evil  things. 

29  The  Lord  is  far  from  the 
wicked:  but  he  heareth  the 
prayer  of  the  righteous. 

30  The  light  of  the  eyes  re- 
joiceth  the  heart:  and  a  good 
report  maketh  the  bones  fat 

31  The  ear  that  heareth  the 
reproof  of  life  abideth  among 
the  wise. 

32  He  that  refuseth  instruc- 
tion despiseth  his  own   soul 
but  he   that  heareth   reproof 
getteth  understanding. 

33  The  fear  of  the  Lord  is 
the  instruction  of  wisdom;  and 
before  honour  is  humility. 

CHAPTER  16 
rnHE  preparations  of  the  heart 
JL  in  man,  and  the  answer  of 
the  tongue,  is  from  the  Lord. 

2  All  the  ways  of  a  man  are 
clean  in  his  own  eyes;  but  the 
Lord  weigheth  the  spirits. 

3  Commit  thy  works  unto  the 
Lord,  and  thy  thoughts  shall  be 
established. 

4  The  Lord  hath  made  all 
things  for  himself:  yea,  even 
the  wicked  for  the  day  of  evil. 

5  Every  one  that  is  proud  in 
heart  is  an  abomination  to  the 
Lord:  though  hand  join  in 
hand,  he  shall  not  be  unpun- 
ished.

the  Lord  men  depart  from 
eviL 

7  When  a  man's  ways  please 
the  Lord,  he  maketh  even  his 
enemies  to  be  at  peace  with 
him. 

8  Better  is  a  little  with  right- 
eousness than  great  revenues 
without  right 

9  A  man's  heart  deviseth  his 
way:  but  the  Lord  directeth 
his  steps. 

10  A  divine  sentence  is  in  the 
lips  of  the  king:  his  mouth 
transgresseth  not  in  judgment 

11  A  just  weight  and  balance 
are  the  Lord's  :  all  the  weights 
of  the  bag  are  his  work. 

12  It   is  an    abomination  to 
kings  to  commit  wickedness 
for  the  throne  is  established  by 
righteousness. 

13  Righteous  lips  are  the  de- 
light of  kings;  and  they  love 
him  that  speaketh  right 

14  The  wrath  of  a  king  is  as 
messengers  of  death :  but  a  wise 
man  will  pacify  it 

15  In  the  light  of  the  king^s 
countenance  is  life;  and  his 
favour  is  as  a  cloud  of  the  lat- 
ter rain. 

16  How  much  better  is  it  to 
get  wisdom  than  gold!  and  to 
get  understanding  rather  to  be 
chosen  than  silver ! 

17  The  highway  of  the  up- 
right is  to  depart  from  evil :  he 
that  keepeth  his  way  preserveth 
his  soul. 

18  Pride  goeth  before  destine 
tion,  and  an  haughty  spirit  be- 
fore a  fall. 

19  Better  it  is  to  be  of  an 
humble  spirit  with  the  lowly, 
than  to  divide  the  spoil  with 
the  proud. 

20  He  that  handleth  a  matter 
wisely  shall  find  good:  and 
whoso  trusteth  in  the  Lord, 
happy  is  he. 

21  The  wise  in  heart  shall  be 
called  prudent:  and  the  sweet 
ness  of  the  lips  increaseth  learn 
ing. 

22  Understanding  is  a  well- 
spring  of  life  unto  him  that 
hath  it:  but  the  instruction  of 
fools  is  folly. 

23  The  heart  of  the  wise 
teacheth  his  mouth,  and  addeth 
learning  to  his  lips. 

24  Pleasant  words  are  as  an 
honeycomb,  sweet  to  the  soul, 
and  health  to  the  bones. 

25  There  is  a  way  that  seem- 
eth  right  unto  a  man,  but  the 
end  thereof  are  the  ways  of 
death. 

26  He  that  laboureth  labour- 


eth  for  himself ;  for  his  mouth 
craveth  it  of  him. 

27  An  ungodly  man  diggeth 
up  evil :  and  in  his  lips  there  is 
as  a  burning  fire. 

28  A  froward  man  soweth 
strife:  and  a  whisperer  separat- 
eth  chief  friends. 

29  A  violent  man  enticeth  his 
neighbour,  and  leadeth  him  in- 
to the  way  that  is  not  good. 

30  He  shutteth  his  eyes  to 
devise  froward  things :  moving 
his  lips  he  bringeth  evil  to  pass. 

31  The  hoary  head  is  a  crown 
of  glory,  if  it  be  found  in  the 
way  of  righteousness. 

32  He  that  is  slow  to  anger  is 
better  than  the  mighty ;  and  he 
that  ruleth  his  spirit  than  he 
that  taketh  a  city.. 

33  The  lot  is  cast  into  the 
lap;  but  the  whole  disposing 
thereof  is  of  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  17 

BETTER  is  a  dry  morsel, 
and  quietness  therewith, 
than  an  house  full  of  sacri- 
fices with  strife. 

2  A  wise  servant  shall  have 
rule  over  a  son  that  causeth 
shame,  and  shall  have  part 
of  the  inheritance  among  the 
brethren. 

3  The  fining  pot  is  for  sil- 
ver, and  the  furnace  for  gold : 
but  the  Lord  trieth  the  hearts. 

4  A  wicked  doer  giveth  heed 
to  false  lips;  and  a  liar  giveth 
ear  to  a  naughty  tongue. 

5  Whoso  mocketh  the  poor 
reproacheth  his  Maker:  and 
he  that  is  glad  at  calamities 
shall  not  be  unpunished. 

6  Children's  children  are  the 
crown  of  old  men;  and  the 
glory  of  children  are  their  fa- 
thers. 

7  Excellent  speech  becometh 
not  a  fool :  much  less  do  lying 
lips  a  prince. 

8  A  gift  is  as  a  precious 
stone  in  the  eyes  of  him  that 
hath  it:  whithersoever  it  turn- 
eth,  it  prospereth. 

9  He  that  covereth  a  trans- 
gression seeketh  love;  but  he 
that  repeateth  a  matter  sepa- 
rateth  very  friends. 

10  A  reproof  entereth  more 
into  a  wise  man  than  an  hun- 
dred stripes  into  a  fool 

11  An  evil  man  seeketh  on- 
ly rebellion :  therefore  a  cruel 
messenger  shall  be  sent  against 
him. 

12  Let  a  bear  robbed  of  her 
whelps  meet  a  man,  rather 
than  a  fool  in  his  folly.

good,  evil  shall  not  depart  from 
is  house. 

14  The  beginning  of  strife 
is  as  when  one  letteth  out 
water:  therefore  leave  off  con- 
tention, before  it  be  meddled 
with. 

15  He  that  justifieth  the 
wicked,  and  he  that  condemn- 
eth  the  just,  even  they  both 
are  abomination  to  the  Lord. 

16  Wherefore  is  there  a 
price  in  the  hand  of  a  fool  to 
get  wisdom,  seeing  he  hath  no 
heart  to  it  ? 

17  A  friend  loveth  at  all 
times,  and  a  brother  is  born 
for  adversity. 

18  A  man  void  of  under- 
standing striketh  hands,  and 
becometh  surety  in  the  pres- 
ence of  his  friend. 

19  He  loveth  transgression 
that  loveth  strife :  and  he  that 
exalteth  his  gate  seeketh  de- 
struction. 

20  He  that  hath  a  froward 
heart  findeth  no  good :  and  he 
that  hath  a  perverse  tongue 
falleth  into  mischief. 

21  He  that  begetteth  a  fool 
doeth  it  to  his  sorrow :  and  the 
father  of  a  fool  hath  no  joy. 

22  A  merry  heart  doeth  good 
like  a  medicine:  but  a  broken 
spirit  drieth  the  bones. 

23  A  wicked  man  taketh  a 
gift  out  of  the  bosom  to  per- 
vert the  ways  of  judgment 

24  Wisdom  is  before  him  that 
hath  understanding;  but  the 
eyes  of  a  fool  are  in  the  ends 
of  the  earth. 

25  A  foolish  son  is  a  grief 
to  his  father,  and  bitterness  to 
her  that  bare  him. 

26  Also  to  punish  the  just  is 
not  good,  nor  to  strike  princes 
for  equity. 

27  He  that  hath  knowledge 
spareth  his  words:  and  a  man 
of  understanding  is  of  an  ex- 
cellent spirit 

28  Even  a  fool,  when  he 
holdeth  his  peace,  is  counted 
wise :  and  he  that  shutteth  his 
lips  is  esteemed  a  man  of  un- 
derstanding. 

CHAPTER  18 

THROUGH  desire  a  man, 
having  separated  himself, 
seeketh  and  intermeddleth 
with  all  wisdom. 

2  A  fool  hath  no  delight  in 
understanding,  but  that  his 
heart  may  discover  itself. 

3  When  the  wicked  cometh, 
then  cometh  also  contempt, 
and  with  ignominy  reproach. 

4  The    words     of    a    man's 


mouth  are  as  deep  waters, 
and  the  wellspring  of  wisdom 
as  a  flowing  brook. 

5  It  is  not  good  to  accept 
the  person  of  the  wicked,  to 
overthrow  the  righteous  in 
judgment 

6  A  fool's  lips  enter  into 
contention,  and  his  mouth  call- 
eth  for  strokes. 

7  A  fool's  mouth  is  his  de- 
struction, and  his  lips  are  the 
snare  of  his  soul. 

8  The  words  of  a  talebearer 
are  as  wounds,  and  they  go 
down  into  the  innermost  parts 
of  the  belly. 

9  He  also  that  is  slothful  in 
his  work  is  brother  to  him  that 
is  a  great  waster. 

10  The  name  of  the  Lord  is 
a  strong  tower:  the  righteous 
runneth  into  it,  and  is  safe. 

11  The  rich  man's  wealth  is 
his  strong  city,  and  as  an  high 
wall  in  his  own  conceit 

12  Before  destruction  the 
heart  of  man  is  haughty,  and 
before  honour  is  humility. 

13  He  that  answereth  a  mat- 
ter before  he  heareth  it,  it  is 
folly  and  shame  unto  him. 

14  The  spirit  of  a  man  will 
sustain  his  infirmity;  but  a 
wounded  spirit  who  can  bear? 

15  The  heart  of  the  prudent 
getteth  knowledge;  and  the 
ear  of  the  wise  seeketh  knowl- 
edge. 

16  A  man's  rift  maketh  room 
for  him,  and  bringeth  him  be- 
fore great  men. 

17  He  that  is  first  in  his  own 
cause  seemeth  just;  but  his 
neighbour  cometh  and  search- 
eth  him. 

18  The  lot  causeth  conten- 
tions to  cease,  and  parteth  be- 
tween the  mighty. 

19  A  brother  offended  is  hard- 
er to  be  won  than  a  strong  city : 
and  their  contentions  are  like 
the  bars  of  a  castle. 

20  A  man's  belly  shall  be  satis- 
fied with  the  fruit  of  his  mouth ; 
and  with  the  increase  of  his 
lips  shall  he  be  filled. 

21  Death  and  life  are  in  the 
power  of  the  tongue :  and  thev 
that  love  it  shall  eat  the  fruit 
thereof. 

22  Whoso  findeth  a  wife  find- 
eth a  good  thing,  and  obtaineth 
favour  of  the  Lord. 

23  The  poor  useth  intreat- 
ies;  but  the  rich  answereth 
roughly. 

24  A  man  that  hath  friends 
must  shew  himself  friendly: 
and  there  is  a  friend  that  stick- 
eth  closer  than  a  brother.

CHAPTER  19 

BETTER  is  the  poor  that 
walketh  in  his  integrity, 
than  he  that  is  perverse  in  his 
lips,  and  is  a  fool. 

2  Also,  that  the  soul  be  with- 
out knowledge,  it  is  not  good ; 
and  he  that  hasteth  with  his 
feet  sinneth. 

3  The  foolishness  of  man  per- 
verteth  his  way :  and  his  heart 
fretteth  against  the  Lord. 

4  Wealth  maketh  many 
friends;  hut  the  poor  is  sep- 
arated from  his  neighbour. 

5  A  false  witness  shall  not  be 
unpunished,  and  he  that  speak- 
eth  lies  shall  not  escape. 

6  Many  will  intreat  the  favour 
of  the  prince:  and  every  man 
is  a  friend  to  him  that  giveth 
gifts. 

7  All  the  brethren  of  the  poor 
do  hate  him:  how  much  more 
do  his  friends  go  far  from 
him?  he  pursueth  them  with 
words,  yet  they  are  wanting  to 
him. 

8  He  that  getteth  wisdom 
loveth  his  own  soul:  he  that 
keepeth  understanding  shall 
find  good. 

9  A  false  witness  shall  not  be 
unpunished,  and  he  that  speak- 
eth  lies  shall  perish. 

10  Delight  is  not  seemly  for 
a  fool ;  much  less  for  a  servant 
to  have  rule  over  princes. 

11  The  discretion  of  a  man 
deferreth  his  anger;  and  it  is 
his  glory  to  pass  over  a  trans- 
gression. 

12  The  king's  wrath  is  as  the 
roaring  of  a  lion ;  but  his  favour 
is  as  dew  upon  the  grass. 

13  A  foolish  son  is  the  calam- 
ity of.  his  father:  and  the 
contentions  of  a  wife  are  a 
continual  dropping. 

14  House  and  riches  are  the 
inheritance  of  fathers:  and  a 
prudent  wife  is  from  the  Lord. 

15  Slothfulness  caateth  into  a 
deep  sleep;  and  an  idle  soul 
shall  suffer  hunger. 

16  He  that  keepeth  the  com- 
mandment keepeth  his  own 
soul ;  but  he  that  despiseth  his 
ways  shall  die. 

17  He  that  hath  pity  upon  the 
poor  lendeth  unto  the  Lord; 
and  that  which  he  hath  given 
will  he  pay  him  again. 

18  Chasten  thy  son  while 
there  is  hope,  and  let  not  thy 
soul  spare  for  his  crying. 

19  A  man  of  great  wrath  shall 
suffer  punishment :  for  if  thou 
deliver  him,  yet  thou  must  do 
it  again. 

20  Hear  counsel,  and  receive 


instruction,  that  thou  mayest 
be  wise  in  thy  latter  end. 

21  There  are  many  devices 
in  a  man's  heart ;  nevertheless 
the  counsel  of  the  Lord,  that 
shall  stand. 

22  The  desire  of  a  man  is  his 
kindness:  and  a  poor  man  is 
better  than  a  liar. 

23  The  fear  of  the  Lord  tend- 
eth  to  life :  and  he  that  hath  it 
shall  abide,  satisfied ;  he  shall 
not  be  visited  with  evil. 

24  A  slothful  man  hideth  his 
hand  in  his  bosom,  and  will  not 
so  much  as  bring  it  to  his  mouth 
again. 

25  Smite  a  scorner,  and  the 
simple  will  beware:  and  re- 
prove one  that  hath  under- 
standing, and  he  will  under- 
stand knowledge. 

26  He  that  wasteth  his  father, 
and  chaseth  away  his  mother, 
is  a  son  that  causeth  shame,  and 
bringeth  reproach. 

27  Cease,  ray  son,  to  hear  the 
instruction  that  causeth  to  err 
from  the  words  of  knowledge. 

28  An  ungodly  witness  scorn- 
eth  judgment :  and  the  mouth  of 
the  wicked  devoureth  iniquity. 

29  Judgments  are  prepared  for 
scorners,  and  stripes  for  the  back 
of  fools. 

CHAPTER  20 
TT7TNE  is  a  mocker,  strong 
V  V    drink  is  raging :  and  who- 
soever is  deceived  thereby  is  not 
wise. 

2  The  fear  of  a  king  is  as  the 
roaring  of  a  lion:  whoso  pro- 
voketh  him  to  anger  sinneth 
against  his  own  soul. 

3  It  is  an  honour  for  a  man 
to  cease  from  strife:  but  every 
fool  will  be  meddling. 

4  The  sluggard  will  not  plow 
by  reason  of  the  cold;  there- 
fore shall  he  beg  in  harvest, 
and  have  nothing. 

5  Counsel  in  the  heart  of  man 
is  like  deep  water;  but  a  man 
of  understanding  will  draw  it 
out 

6  Most  men  will  proclaim 
every  one  his  own  goodness: 
but  a  faithful  man  who  can 
find? 

7  The  just  man  walketh  in 
his  integrity:  his  children  are 
blessed  after  him. 

8  A  king  that  sitteth  in  the 
throne  of  judgment  scattereth 
away  all  evil  with  his  eyes. 

9  Who  can  say,  I  have  made 
my  heart  clean,  I  am  pure  from 
my  sin  ? 

10  Divers  weights,  and  divers 
measures,  both  of  them  are  alike 
abomination  to  the  Lord.

11  Even  a  child  is  known  by 
his  doings,  whether  his  work  be 
pure,  and  whether  it  be  right 

12  The  hearing  ear,  and  the 
seeing  eye,  the  Lord  hath  made 
even  both  of  them. 

13  Love  not  sleep,  lest  thou 
come  to  poverty;  open  thine 
eyes,  and  thou  shalt  be  satisfied 
with  bread. 

14  It  is  naught,  it  is  naught, 
saith  the  buyer :  but  when  he  is 
gone  his  way,  then  he  boasteth. 

15  There  is  gold,  and  a  multi- 
tude of  rubies:  but  the  lips  of 
knowledge  are  a  precious  jewel. 

16  Take  his  garment  that  is 
surety /or  a  stranger:  and  take 
a  pledge  of  him  for  a  strange 
woman. 

17  Bread  of  deceit  is  sweet 
to  a  man;  but  afterwards  his 
mouth  shall  be  filled  with 
gravel. 

18  Every  purpose  is  estab- 
lished by  counsel:  and  with 
good  advice  make  war. 

19  He  that  goeth  about  as  a 
talebearer  revealeth  secrets: 
therefore  meddle  not  with  him 
that  flattereth  with  his  lips. 

20  Whoso  curseth  his  rather 
or  his  mother,  his  lamp  shall  be 
put  out  in  obscure  darkness. 

21  An  inheritance  may  be 
gotten  hastily  at  the  beginning ; 
but  the  end  thereof  shall  not  be 
blessed. 

22  Say  not  thou,  I  will  recom- 
pense evil;  but  wait  on  the 
Lord,  and  he  shall  save  thee. 

23  Divers  weights  are  an 
abomination  unto  the  Lord; 
and  a  false  balance  is  not  good. 

24  Man's  goings  are  of  the 
Lord;  how  can  a  man  then 
understand  his  own  way? 

25  It  is  a  snare  to  the  man 
who  devoureth  that  which  is 
holy,  and  after  vows  to  make 
enquiry. 

2o  A  wise  king  scattereth  the 
wicked,  and  bringeth  the  wheel 
over  them. 

27  The  spirit  of  man  is  the 
candle  of  the  Lord,  searching 
all  the  inward  parts  of  the 
belly. 

28  Mercy  and  truth  preserve 
the  king:  and  his  throne  is  up- 
holden  by  mercy. 

29  The  glory  of  young  men  is 
their  strength :  and  the  beauty 
of  old  men  is  the  grey  head. 

30  The  blueness  of  a  wound 
cleanseth  away  evil:  so  do 
stripes  the  inward  parts  of  the 
telly. 

CHAPTER  21 

rtE  king's  heart  is  in  the 
hand  of  the  Lord,  as  the 


rivers  of  water:  he  iurneth  it 
whithersoever  he  will 

2  Every  way  of  a  man  is  right 
in  his  own  eyes:* but  the  Lord 
pondereth  the  hearts. 

3  To  do  justice  and  judgment 
is  more  acceptable  to  the  Lord 
than  sacrifice. 

4  An  high  look,  and  a  proud 
heart,  ana  the  plowing  of  the 
wicked,  is  sin. 

5  The  thoughts  of  the  diligent 
tend  only  to  plenteousness ;  but 
of  every  one  that  is  hasty  only 
to  want. 

6  The  getting  of  treasures  by 
a  lying  tongue  is  a  vanity  tossed 
to  and  fro  of  them  that  seek 
death. 

7  The  robbery  of  the  wicked 
shall  destroy  them;  because 
they  refuse  to  do  judgment 

8  The  way  of  man  is  f reward 
and  strange:  but  as  for  the 
pure,  his  work  is  right 

9  It  is  better  to  dwell  in  a 
corner  of  the  housetop,  than 
with  a  brawling  woman  in  a 
wide  house. 

10  The  soul  of  the  wicked  de- 
sireth  evil:  his  neighbour  find 
eth  no  favour  in  his  eyes. 

11  When  the  scorner  is  pun- 
ished, the  simple  is  made  wise 
and  when  the  wise  is  instructed, 
he  receiveth  knowledge. 

12  The  righteous  man  wisely 
considereth  the  house  of  the 
wicked :  but  God  overthroweth 
the  wicked  for  their  wicked- 
ness. 

13  Whoso  stoppeth  his  ears  at 
the  cry  of  the  poor,  he  also 
shall  cry  himself,  but  shall  not 
be  heard. 

14  A  gift  in  secret  pacifieth 
anger:  and  a  reward  in  the 
bosom  strong  wrath. 

15  It  is  joy  to  the  just  to  do 
judgment :  but  destruction  shall 
be  to  the  workers  of  iniquity. 

16  The  man  that  wandereth 
out  of  the  way  of  understand 
ing  shall  remain  in  the  congre- 
gation of  the  dead. 

17  He  that  loveth  pleasure 
shall  be  a  poor  man:  he  that 
loveth  wine  and  oil  shall  not 
be  rich. 

18  The  wicked  shall  be  a 
ransom  for  the  righteous,  and 
the  transgressor  for  the  upright 

19  It  is  better  to  dwell  in  the 
wilderness,  than  with  a  conten- 
tious and  an  angry  woman. 

20  There  is  treasure  to  be  de- 
sired and  oil  in  the  dwelling  of 
the  wise;  but  a  foolish  man 
spendeth  it  up. 

21  He  that  followeth  after 
righteousness  and  mercy  find-

giveth  and  spareth  not

A:  GOOD  name  is  rather  to 
be  chosen  than  great  riches, 
and  loving  favour  rather  than 
silver  and  gold.: 

2  The  rich  and  poor  meet  to-

3  A  prudent  man  f  oreseeth  the 
evil,  and  hideth  himself:  but

honour,  and  life. 

5  Thorns  and  snares  are  in 
the  way  of  the  fro  ward:  he 
that  doth  keep  his  soul  shall  be 
fax  from  them. 

6  Train  up  a  child  in  the  wav 
he  should  go:  and  when  he  is 
old,  he  will  not  depart  from  it 

7  The  rich  ruleth  over  the 
poor,  and  the  borrower  is  serv- 
ant to  the  lender. 

8  He  that  soweth  '  iniquity 
shall  reap  vanity:  and  the  rod 
of  his  anger  shall  faiL 

9  ■  He  that  hath  a  bountiful  eye 
shall  be  blessed ;  for  he  giveth 
of  his  bread  to  the  poor. 

10  Cast  out  the  scorner,  and 
contention  shall  go  out;  yea, 
strife  and  reproach  shall  cease. 

11  He  that  loveth  pureneess  of 
heart,  for  the  grace  of  his  lips 


the  king  shall  be  his  friend. 

12  The  eyes  of  the  Lord  pre- 
serve knowledge,  and  he  over 
throweth  the  words  of  the 
transgressor. 

13  The  slothful  man  saith, 
There  is  a  lion  without  I  shall 
be  slain  in  the  streets. 

14  The  mouth  of  strange  wom- 
en is  a  deep  pit:  he  that  is 
abhorred  of  the  Lord  shall  fall 
therein. 

15  Foolishness  is  bound  in  the 
heart  of  a  child ;  but  the  rod  of 
correction  shall  drive  it  far 
from  him. 

16  He  that  oppresseth  the  poor 
to  increase  his  riches,  ana  he 
that  giveth  to  the  rich,  shall 
surely  come  to  want 

17  IT  Bow  down  thine  ear,  and 
hear  the  words  of  the  wise, 
and  apply  thine  heart  unto  my 
knowledge. 

18  For  it  is  q.  pleasant  thing 
if  thou  keep  them  within  thee ; 
they  shall  withal  be  fitted  in 
thy  lips. 

19  That  thy  trust  may  be  in 
the  Lord,  I  have  made  known 
to  thee  this  day,  even  to  thee. 

20  Have  not  I  written  to  thee 
excellent  things  in  counsels  and 
knowledge, 

21  That  I  might  make  thee 
know  the  certainty  of  the  words 
of  truth;  that  tnou  mightest 
answer  the  words  of  truth  to 
them  that  send  unto  thee? 

22  Rob  not  the  poor,  because 
he  is  poor:  neither  oppress  the 
afflicted  in  the  gate : 

23  For  the  Lord  will  plead 
their  cause,  and  spoil  the  soul 
of  those  that  spoiled  them. 

24  Make  no  friendship  with 
an  angry  man ;  and  with  a  furi- 
ous man  thou  shalt  not  go: 

25  Lest  thou  learn  his  ways, 
and  get  a  snare  to  thy  soul. 

26  Be  not  thou  one  of  them 
that  strike  hands,  or  of  them 
that  are  sureties  for  debts. 

27  If  thou  hast  nothing  to 
pay,  why  should  he  take  away 
thy  bed  from  under  thee  ? 

28  Remove  not  the  ancient 
landmark,  which  thy  fathers 
have  set 

29  Seest  thou  a  man  diligent 
in  his  business?  he  shall  stand 
before  kings ;  he  shall  not  stand 
before  mean  men.

3  Be  not  desirous  of  his  dain-

4  Labour  not  to  be  rich :  cease 
from  thine  own  wisdom. 

5  Wilt  thou  set  thine  eyes 
upon  that  which  is  not?  for 
rtohes  certainly  make  them- 
selves wings ;  they  fly  away  as 
an  eagle  toward  heaven. 

6  Eat  thou  not  the  bread  of 
him  that  hath  an  evil  eye, 
neither  desire  thou  his  dainty 
meats: 

7  For  as  he  thinketh  in  his 
heart,  so  is  he :  Eat  and  drink, 
saith  he  to  thee;  but  his  heart 
t«  not  with  thee. 

8  The  morsel  which  thou  hast 
eaten  shalt  thou  vomit  up,  and 
lose  thy  sweet  words. 

9  Speak  not  in  the  ears  of  a 
fool:  for  he  will  despise  the 
wisdom  of  thy  words. 

10  Remove  not  the  old  land- 
mark; and  enter  not  into  the 
fields  of  the  fatherless: 

11  For  their  redeemer  is 
mighty;  he  shall  plead  their 
cause  with  thee. 

12  Apply  thine  heart  unto  in- 
struction, and  thine  ears  to  the 
words  of  knowledge. 

13  Withhold  not  correction 
from  the  child:  for  if  thou 
beatest  him  with  the  rod,  he 
shall  not  die. 

14  Thou  shalt  beat  him  with 
the  rod,  and  shalt  deliver  his 
soul  from  hell. 

15  My  son,  if  thine- heart  be 
wise,  my  heart  shall  rejoice, 
even  mine. 

16  Yea,  my  reins  shall  re- 
joice, when  thy  lips  speak  right 
things. 

17  Let  not  thine  heart  envy 
sinners :  but  be  thou  in  the  fear 
of  the  Lord  all  the  day  long. 

18  For  surely  there  is  an  end ; 
and  thine  expectation  shall  not 
be  cut  off. 

19  Hear  thou,  my  son,  and  be 
wise,  and  guide  thine  heart  in 
the  way. 

20  Be  not  among  winebibbers; 
among  riotous  eaters  of  flesh : 

21  For  the  drunkard  and  the 
glutton  shall  come  to  poverty : 
and  drowsiness  shall  clothe  a 
man  with  rags. 

22  Hearken  unto  thy  father 
that  begat  thee,  and  despise  not 
thy  mother  when  she  is  old. 

23  Buy  the  truth,  and  sell  it 
not ;  also  wisdom,  and  instruc- 
tion, and  understanding. 

24  The  father  of  the  right- 
eous shall  greatly  rejoice :  and 
he  that  be^etteth  a  wise  child 
shall  have  jof  of  him: 

25  Thy  father  and  thy  moth 


er  shall  be  glad,  and  she  that 
bare  thee  shall  rejoice. 

26  My  son,  give  me  thine 
heart,  and  let  thine  eyes  ob- 
serve my  ways. 

27  For  a  whore  is  a  deep 
ditch;  and  a  strange  woman 
is  a  narrow  pit 

28  She  also  lieth  in  wait  as 
for  a  prey,  and  increaseth  the 
transgressors  among  men. 

29  Who  hath  woe?  who  hath 
sorrow?  who  hath  contentions? 
who  hath  babbling?  who  hath 
wounds  without  cause?  who 
hath  redness  of  eyea? 

30  They  that  tarry  long  at 
the  wine;  they  that  go  to  seek 
mixed  wine. 

31  Look  not  thou  upon '  the 
wine  when  it  is  ted,  when :  it 
giveth  his  colour  in  the  cup, 
when  it  moveth  itself  aright. 

32  At  the  last  it  biteth  Tike  a 
serpent,  and  stingeth  like* an 

33  Thine  eyes  shall  behold 
strange  women,  and  thine  heart 
shall  utter  perverse  things. 

34  Tea,  thou  shalt  be  as  he 
thatrieth  down  in  the  midst  of 
the  sea,  or  as  he  that  lieth  up- 
on the  top  of  a  mast 

35  They  have  stricken  me, 
shalt  Hum  say,  and  I  was  not 
sick;  they  have  beaten  me, 
and  I  felt  it  not :  when  shall  I 
awake  ?  I  will  seek  it  yet  again. 

CHAPTER  24 

BE  not  thou  envious  against 
evil  men,  neither  desire  to 
be  with  them. 

2  For  their  heart  studieth 
destruction,  and  their  lips  talk 
of  mischief. 

3  Throngh  wisdom  is  an 
house  builded;  and  by  under- 
standing it  is  established : 

4  And  by  knowledge  shall  the 
chambers  be  filled  with  all  pre- 
cious and  pleasant  riches. 

5  A  wise  man  is  strong;  yea, 
a  man  of  knowledge  increaseth 
strength. 

6  For  by  wise  counsel  thou 
shalt  make  thy  war:  and  in 
multitude  of  counsellors  there 
is  safety. 

7  Wisdom  is  too  high  for  a 
fool :  he  openeth  not  his  mouth 
in  the  gate, 

8  He  that  deviseth  to  do  evil 
shall  be  called  a  mischievous 
person. 

9  The  thought  of  foolishness 
is  sin :  and  the  scorner  id  an 
abomination  to  men. 

10  If  thou  faint  in  the  day 
of  adversity,  thy  strength  ts 
small,

11  If  thou  forbear  to  deliver 
them  that  are  drawn  unto 
death,  and  those  that  are  ready 
to  be  slain ; 

12  If  thou  sayest,  Behold,  we 
knew  it  not ;  doth  not  he  that 
nondereth  the  heart  consider 
it?  and  he  that  keepeth  thy 
soul,  doth  not  he  know  it  ?  and 
shall  not  he  render  to  every 
man  according  to  his  works  ? 

13  My  son,  eat  thou  honey, 
because  it  is  good;  and  the 
honeycomb,  which  is  sweet  to 
thy  taste : 

14  So  shaU  the  knowledge  of 
wisdom  be  unto  thy  soul:  when 
thou  hast  found  ttt  then  there 
shall  be  a  reward,  and  thy  ex- 
pectation shall  not  be  cut  off. 

15  Lay  not  wait,  Q  wicked 
man,  against  the  dwelling  of 
the  righteous;  spoil  not  his 
resting  place: 

16  For  a  just  man  falleth 
seven  times,  and  riseth  up 
again:  but  the  wicked  shall 
fall  into  mischief. 

17  Rejoice  not  when  thine 
enemy  falleth,  and  let  not 
thine  heart  be  glad  when  he 
stumbleth: 

18  Lest  the  Lord  see  it,  and 
it  displease  him,  and  he  turn 
away  his  wrath  from  him. 

19  Fret  not  thyself  because 
of  evil  men,  neither  be  thou 
envious  at  the  wicked; 

20  For  there  shall  be  no  re- 
ward to  the  evil  man ;  the  can- 
dle of  the  wicked  shall  be  put 
out 

21  My  son,  fear  thou  the 
Lord  and  the  king:  and  med- 
dle not  with  them  that  are 
given  to  change: 

22  For  their  calamity  shall 
rise  suddenly ;  and  who  know- 
eth  the  ruin  of  them  both  ? 

23  These  things  also  belong 
to  the  wise.  It  is  not  good  to 
have  respect  of  persons  in  judg- 
ment. 

24  He  that  saith  unto  the 
wicked,  Thou  art  righteous; 
him  shall  the  people  curse,  na- 
tions shall  abhor  him : 

25  But  to  them  that  rebuke 
him  shall  be  delight,  and  a  good 
blessing  shall  come  upon  them. 

26  Every  man  shall  kiss  his 
lips  that  giveth  a  right  answer. 

27  Prepare  thy  work  with- 
out, and  make  it  fit  for  thyself 
in  the  field ;  and  afterwards 
build  thine  house. 

28  Be  not  a  witness  against 
thy  neighbour  without  cause; 
and  deceive  not  with  thy  lips. 

29  Say  not,  I  will  do  so  to 
him  as  he  hath  done  to  me:  I 


will  render  to  the  man  accord- 
ing to  his  work. 

30  I  went  by  the  field  of  the 
slothful,  and  by  the  vineyard 
of  the  man  void  of  understand- 
ing; 

31  And,  lo,  it  was  all  grown 
over  with  thorns,  and  nettles 
had  covered  the  face  thereof, 
and  the  stone  wall  thereof  was 
broken  down. 

32  Then  I  saw,  and  consid- 
ered it  well :  I  looked  upon  it, 
and  received  instruction. 

33  Yet  a  little  sleep,  a  little 
slumber,  a  little  folding  of  the 
hands  to  sleep : 

34  So  shall  thy  poverty  come 
as  one  that  travelleth ;  and  thy 
want  as  an  armed  man. 

CHAPTER  25 

Observations  about  kings,  about 
avoiding  Quarrels,  and  sundry 
causes  thereof. 

THESE  are  also  proverbs  of 
SoTo-mon,  which  the  men 
of  Hes-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah 
copied  out 

2  It  is  the  glory  of  God  to 
conceal  a  thing :  but  the  honour 
of  kings  is  to  search  out  a  mat- 
ter. 

3  The  heaven  for  height  and 
the  earth  for  depth,  and  the 
heart  of  kings  is  unsearchable. 

4  Take  away  the  dross  from 
the  silver,  and  there  shall  come 
forth  a  vessel  for  the  finer. 

5  Take  away  the  wicked  from 
before  the  king,  and  his  throne 
shall  be  established  in  righteous- 
ness. 

6  Put  not  forth  thyself  in  the 
presence  of  the  king,  and  stand 
not  in  the  place  of  great  men : 

7  For  better  it  is  that  it  be 
said  unto  thee,  Come  up  hither ; 
than  that  thou  shouldest  be  put 
lower  in  the  presence  of  the 
prince  whom  thine  eyes  have 

8  Go  not  forth  hastily  to 
strive,  lest  thou  know  not  what 
to  do  in  the  end  thereof,  when 
thy  neighbour  hath  put  thee  to 
shame. 

9  Debate  thy  cause  with  thy 
neighbour  himself;  and  discov- 
er not  a  secret  to  another : 

10  Lest  he  that  heareth  it  put 
thee  to  shame,  and  thine  infamy 
turn  not  away. 

11  A  word  fitly  spoken  is  like 
apples  of  gold  in  pictures  of  sil- 
ver. 

12  As  an  earring  of  gold,  and 
an  ornament  of  fine  gold,  so  is 
a  wise  reprover  upon  an  obedi- 
ent ear. 

13  As  the  cold  of  snow  in 
the  time  of  harvest  so  is  a.

faithful  messenger  to  them  that 
send  him :  for  he  refresheth  the 
soul  of  his  masters. 

14  Whoso  boasteth  himself  of 
a  false  gift  is  like  clouds  and 
wind  without  rain. 

15  By  long  forbearing  is  a 
prince  persuaded,  and  a  soft 
tongue  breaketh  the  bone. 

16  Hast  thou  found  honey? 
eat  so  much  as  is  sufficient  for 
thee,  lest  thou  be  filled  there- 
with, and  vomit  it 

17  Withdraw  thy  foot  from 
thy  neighbour's  house ;  lest  he 
be  weary  of  thee,  and  so  hate 
thee. 

18  A  man  that  beareth  false 
witness  against  his  neighbour 
is  a  maul,  and  a  sword,  and  a 
sharp  arrow. 

19  Confidence  in  an  unfaithful 
man  in  time  of  trouble  is  like  a 
broken  tooth,  and  a  foot  out  of 
joint 

20  As  he  that  taketh  away  a 
garment  in  cold  weather,  and 
as  vinegar  upon  nitre,  so  is  he 
that  singeth  songs  to  an  heavy 
heart 

21  If  thine  enemy  be  hungry, 
give  him  bread  to  eat ;  and  if  he 
be  thirsty,  give  him  water  to 
drink: 

22  For  thou  shalt  heap  coals 
of  fire  upon  his  head,  and  the 
Lord  shall  reward  thee. 

23  The  north  wind  driveth 
away  rain:  so  doth  an  an- 
gry countenance  a  backbiting 
tongue. 

24  It  is  better  to  dwell  in  the 
corner  of  the  housetop,  than 
with  a  brawling  woman  and  in 
a  wide  house. 

25  As  cold  waters  to  a  thirsty 
soul,  so  is  good  news  from  a  far 
country. 

26  A  righteous  man  falling 
down  before  the  wicked  is  as  a. 
troubled  fountain,  and  a  corrupt 
spring. 

27  It  is  not  good  to  eat  much 
honey :  so  for  men  to  search 
their  own  glory  is  not  glory. 

28  He  that  hath  no  rule  over 
his  own  spirit  is  like  a  city  that 
is  broken  down,  and  without 
walls. 

CHAPTER  26 
OffooU,  13  aluggards,  17  and  buty- 

AS  snow  in  summer,  and  as 
rain  in  harvest  so  honour 
is  not  seemly  for  a  fool. 

2  As  the  bird  by  wandering, 
as  the  swallow  by  flying,  so  the 
curse  causeless  shall  not  come. 

3  A  whip  for  the  horse,  a 
bridle  for  the  ass,  and  a  rod  for 
the  fool's  back. 


4  Answer  not  a  fool  according 
to  his  folly,  lest  thou  also  be  like 
unto  him. 

5  Answer  a  fool  according  to 
his  folly,  lest  he  be  wise  in  his 
own  conceit 

6  He  that  sendeth  a  message 
by  the  hand  of  a  fool  cutteth  off 
the  feet,  and  drinketh  damage. 

7  The  legs  of  the  lame  are 
not  equal:  so  is  a  parable  in 
the  mouth  of  fools. 

8  As  he  that  bindeth  a  stone 
in  a  sling,  so  is  he  that  giveth 
honour  to  a  fool. 

9  As  a  thorn  goeth  up  into 
the  hand  of  a  drunkard,  so  is  a 
parable  in  the  mouth  of  fools. 

10  The  great  God  that  formed 
all  things  both  rewardeth  the 
fool,  and  rewardeth  transgress- 
ors. 

11  As  a  dog  returaeth  to  his 
vomit,  so  a  fool  returneth  to 
his  folly. 

12  Seest  thou  a  man  wise  in 
his  own  conceit?  there  is  more 
hope  of  a  fool  than  of  him. 

13  The  slothful  man  saith, 
There  is  a  lion  in  the  way ;  a 
lion  is  in  the  streets. 

14  As  the  door  turneth  upon 
his  hinges,  so  doth  the  slothful 
upon  his  bed. 

15  The  slothful  hideth  his 
hand  in  his  bosom ;  it  grieveth 
him  to  bring  it  again  to  his 
mouth. 

16  The  sluggard  is  wiser  in 
his  own  conceit  than  seven 
men  that  can  render  a  reason. 

17  He  that  passeth  by,  and 
meddleth  with  strife  belonging 
not  to  him,  is  like  one  that 
taketh  a  dog  by  the  ears. 

18  As  a  mad  man  who  casteth 
firebrands,  arrows,  and  death, 

19  So  is  the  man  that  deceiv- 
eth  his  neighbour,  and  saith, 
Am  not  I  in  sport  ? 

20  Where  no  wood  is,  there 
the  fire  goeth  out:  so  where 
there  is  no  talebearer,  the  strife 
ceaseth. 

21  As  coals  are  to  burning 
coals,  and  wood  to  fire;  so  is 
a  contentious  man  to  kindle 
strife. 

22  The  words  of  a  talebearer 
are  as  wounds,  and  they  go 
down  into  the  innermost  parts 
of  the  belly. 

23  Burning  lips  and  a  wicked 
heart  are  Tike  a  potsherd  cov- 
ered with  silver  dross. 

24  He  that  hateth  dissembleth 
with  his  lips,  and  layeth  up 
deceit  within  him; 

25  When  he  speaketh  fair,  be- 
lieve him  not:  for  there  are 
seven  abominations  in  his  heart.

26  Whose  hatred  is  covered 
by  deceit,  his  wickedness  shall 
be  shewed  before  the  whole 
congregation. 

27  Whoso  diggeth  a  nit  shall 
fall  therein:  and  he  that  roll- 
eth  a  stone,  it  will  return  upon 
him. 

28  A  lying  tongue  hateth 
those  that  are  afflicted  by  it; 
and  a  flattering  mouth  worketh 
ruin. 

CHAPTER  27 

Sdflove.  5  true  love,  11  care  to  avoid 
Offence*,  23  and  the  household  care. 

BOAST  not  thyself  of  to  mor- 
row ;  for  thou  knowest  not 
what  a  day  may  bring  forth. 

2  Let  another  man  praise  thee, 
and  not  thine  own  mouth;  a 
stranger,  and  not  thine  own 
lips. 

3  A  stone  is  heavy,  and  the 
sand  weighty ;  but  a  fool's  wrath 
is  heavier  than  them  both. 

4  Wrath  is  cruel,  and  anger  is 
outrageous ;  but  who  is  able  to 
stand  before  envy? 

5  Open  rebuke  is  better  than 
secret  love. 

6  Faithful  are  the  wounds  of 
a  friend;  but  the  kisses  of  an 
enemy  are  deceitful. 

7  The  full  soul  loatheth  an 
honeycomb ;  but  to  the  hungry 
soul  every  bitter  thing  is  sweet. 

8  As  a  bird  that  wandereth 
from  her  nest,  so  is  a  man  that 
wandereth  from  his  place. 

9  Ointment  and  perfume  re- 
joice the  heart:  so  doth  the 
sweetness  of  a  man's  friend  by 
hearty  counsel. 

10  Thine  own  friend,  and  thy 
father's  friend,  forsake  not; 
neither  go  into  thy  brother's 
house  in  the  day  of  thy  calam- 
ity :  for  better  is  a  neighbour 
that  is  near  than  a  brother  far 
off. 

11  My  son,  be  wise,  and  make 
my  heart  glad,  that  I  may 
answer  him  that  reproacheth 
me. 

12  A  prudent  man  foreseeth 
the  evil,  and  hideth  himself; 
but  the  simple  pass  on,  and  are 
punished. 

13  Take  his  garment  that  is 
surety  for  a  stranger,  and  take 
a  pledge  of  him  for  a  strange 
woman. 

14  He  that  blesseth  his  friend 
with  a  loud  voice,  rising  early 
in  the  morning,  it  shall  be 
counted  a  curse  to  him. 

15  A  continual  dropping  in  a 
very  rainy  day  and  a  conten- 
tious woman  are  alike. 

16  Whosoever  hideth  her  hid- 
eth the  wind,  and  the  ointment 


of  his  right  hand,  which  1 
wrayeth  itself. 

17  Iron  sharpeneth  iron ;  so  a 
man  sharpeneth  the  counte- 
nance of  nis  friend. 

18  Whoso  keepeth  the  fig  tree 
shall  eat  the  fruit  thereof:  so 
he  that  waiteth  on  his  master 
shall  be  honoured. 

19  As  in  water  face  answereth 
to  face,  so  the  heart  of  man  to 
man. 

20  Hell  and  destruction  are 
never  full ;  so  the  eyes  of  man 
are  never  satisfied. 

21  As  the  fining  pot  for  sil- 
ver, and  the  furnace  for  gold ; 
so  is  a  man  to  his  praise. 

22  Though  thoushouldest  bray 
a  fool  in  a  mortar  among  wheat 
with  a  pestle,  yet  will  not  his 
foolishness  depart  from  him. 

23  Be  thou  diligent  to  know 
the  state  of  thy  flocks,  and  look 
well  to  thy  herds. 

24  For  riches  are  not  for 
ever:  and  doth  the  crown  en- 
dure to  every  generation? 

25  The  hay  appeareth,  and 
the  tender  grass  sheweth  itself, 
and  herbs  of  the  mountains  are 
gathered. 

26  The  lambs  are  for  thy 
clothing,  and  the  goats  are  the 
price  of  the  field. 

27  And  thou  shall  have  goats' 
milk  enough  for  thy  food,  for 
the  food  of  thy  household,  and 
for  the  maintenance  for  thy 
maidens. 

CHAPTER  28 
Of  impiety  and  reUgioue  integrity. 

THE  wicked  flee  when  no  man 
pursueth :  but  the  righteous 
are  bold  as  a  lion. 

2  For  the  transgression  of  a 
land  many  are  the  princes 
thereof:  but  by  a  man  of  un- 
derstanding and  knowledge  the 
state  thereof  shaM  be  prolonged. 

3  A  poor  man  that  opnresseth 
the  poor  is  like  a  sweeping  rain 
which  leaveth  no  food. 

4  They  that  forsake  the  law 
praise  the  wicked :  but  such  as 
keep  the  law  contend  with  them, 

5  Evil  men  understand  not 
judgment:  but  they  that  seek 
the  Lord  understand  all  things. 

6  Better  is  the  poor  that  walk- 
eth  in  his  uprightness,  than  he 
that  is  perverse  in  his  ways, 
though  he  be  rich. 

7  Whoso  keepeth  the  law  is  a 
wise  son :  but  he  that  is  a  com- 
panion of  riotous  men  shameth 
his  father. 

8  He  that  by  usury  and  unjust 
gain  increaseth  his  substance, 
he  shall  gather  it  for  him  that 
will  pity  the  poor.

rejoice,  there  is  great  glory:

17  A  man  that  doeth  violence 
to  the  blood  of  any  person  shall 
flee  to  the  pit;  let  no  man  stay 
him. 

18  Whoso  walketh  uprightly 
shall  be  saved:  but  he  that  is 
perverse  in  his  ways  shall  fall 
at  once. 

19  He  that  tilleth  his  land 
shall  have  plenty  of  bread: 
but  he  that  followeth  after 
vain  persona  shall  have  pov- 
erty enough. 

20  A  faithful  man  shall 
abound  with  blessings:  but 
he  that  maketh  haste  to  be 
rich  shall  hot  be  innocent 

21  To  have  respect  of  persons 
is  not  good:  for  for  a  piece  of 
bread  that  man  will  transgress. 

22  He  that  hasteth  to  be  rich 
hathstk  evil  eye,  and  consider- 
eth  not  that  poverty  shall  come 
upon  him. 

23  He  that  rebuketh  a  man 
afterwards  shall  find  more  fa- 
vour than  he  that  flattereth 
with  the  tongue. 

24  Whoso  robbeth  his  father 
or  his  mother,  and  saith,  It  is 
no  transgression;  the  same  is 
the  companion  of  a  destroyer. 

25  He  that  is  of  a  proud  heart 
stirreth  up  strife:  but  he  that 
putteth  his  trust  in  the  Lord 
shall  be  made  fat 

26  He  that  trusteth  in  his  own 
heart  is  a  fool :  but  whoso  walk- 


eth wisely,  he  shall  be  delivered. 

27  He  that  giveth  unto  the 
poor  shall  not  lack :  but  he  that 
hideth  his  eyes  shall  have  many 
a  curse. 

28  When  the  wicked  rise,  men 
hide  themselves:  but  when  they 
perish,  the  righteous  increase. 

CHAPTER  29 

Of  public  government,   15  and  of 

private. 

HE,  that  being  often  re- 
proved hardeneth  his 
neck,  shall  suddenly  be  de- 
stroyed, and  that  without  rem- 
edy. 

2  When  the  righteous  are  in 
authority,  the  people  rejoice: 
but  when  the  wicked  beareth 
rule,  the  people  mourn. 

3  Whoso  loveth  wisdom  re- 
joiceth  his  father:  but  he  that 
keepeth  company  with  harlots 
spendeth  his  substance. 

4  The  king  by  judgment 
tablisheth  the  land:  but  he 
that  receiveth  gifts  overthrow- 
eth  it 

5  A  man  that  flattereth  his 
neighbour  spreadeth  a  net  for 
his  feet 

6  In  the  transgression  of  an 
evil  man  there  %s  a  snare :  but 
the  righteous  doth  sing  and  re- 
joice. 

7  The  righteous  considereth 
the  cause  of  the  poor:  but  the 
wicked  regardeth  not  to  know 
it 

8  Scornful  men  bring  a  city 
into  a  snare :  but  wise  men  turn 
away  wrath. 

9  If  a  wise  man  contendeth 
with  a  foolish  man,  whether  he 
rage  or  laugh,  there  is  no  rest 

10  The  bloodthirsty  hate  the 
upright:  but  the  just  seek  his 
soul. 

11  A  fool  uttereth  all  his 
mind :  but  a  wise  man  keepeth 
it  in  till  afterwards. 

12  If  a  ruler  hearken  to  lies, 
all  his  servants  are  wicked. 

13  The  poor  and  the  deceitful 
man  meet  together:  the  Lord 
lighteneth  both  their  eyes. 

14  The  king  that  faithfully 
judgeth  the  poor,  his  throne 
shall  be  established  for  ever. 

15  The  rod  and  reproof  give 
wisdom :  but  a  child  left  to  him- 
self bringeth  his  mother  to 
shame. 

16  When  the  wicked  are  mul- 
tiplied, transgression  incfeas- 
eth:  but  the  righteous  shall 
see  their  fall. 

17  Correct  thy  son,  and  he 
shall  give  thee  rest;  yea,  he 
shall  give  delight  unto  thy 
soul.

18  Where  there  is  no  vision, 
the  people  perish :  but  he  that 
keepeth  the  law,  happy  is  he. 

19  A  servant  will  not  be  cor- 
rected by  words :  for  though  he 
understand  he  will  not  answer. 

20  Seest  thou  a  man  that  is 
hasty  in  his  words?  there  is 
more  hope  of  a  fool  than  of 
him. 

21  He  that  delicately  bringeth 
up  his  servant  from  a  child 
shall  have  him  become  his  son 
at  the  length. 

22  An  angry  man  stirreth  up 
strife,  and  a  furious  man  abound- 
eth  in  transgression. 

23  A  man's  pride  shall  bring 
him  low :  but  honour  shall  up- 
hold the  humble  in  spirit. 

24  Whoso  is  partner  with  a 
thief  hateth  his  own  soul:  he 
heareth  cursing,  and  bewrayeth 
it  not. 

25  The  fear  of  man  bringeth 
a  snare :  but  whoso  putteth  his 
trust  in  the  Lord  shall  be  safe. 

26  Many  seek  the  ruler's  fa- 
vour; but  every  man's  judg- 
ment cometh  from  the  Lord. 

27  An  unjust  man  is  an  abom- 
ination to  the  just :  and  he  that 
is  upright  in  the  way  is  abomi- 
nation to  the  wicked. 

CHAPTER  30 

The  confession  and  instructions  cf 
Ajur. 

THE  words  of  A'gur  the  son 
of  Ja'keh,  even  the  proph- 
ecy :  the  man  spake  unto  Ithl-el, 
even  unto  Ithl-el  and  O'cal, 

2  Surely  I  am  more  brutish 
than  any  man,  and  have  not 
the  understanding  of  a  man. 

3  I  neither  learned  wisdom, 
nor  have  the  knowledge  of  the 
holy. 

4  Who  hath  ascended  up  into 
heaven,  or  descended?  who  hath 
gathered  the  wind  in  his  fists? 
who  hath  bound  the  waters  in  a 
garment?  who  hath  established 
all  the  ends  of  the  earth  ?  what 
is  his  name,  and  what  is  his 
son's  name,  if  thou  canst  tell  ? 

5  Every  word  of  God  is  pure: 
he  is  a  shield  unto  them  that 
put  their  trust  in  him. 

6  Add  thou  not  unto  his  words, 
lest  he  reprove  thee,  and  thou  be 
found  a  liar. 

7  Two  things  have  I  required 
of  thee;  deny  me  them  not  be- 
fore I  die : 

S  Remove  far  from  me  vanity 
and  lies:  give  me  neither  pov- 
erty nor  riches;  feed  me  with 
food  convenient  for  me : 

9  Lest  I  be  full,  and  deny  thee, 
and  say,  Who  is  the  Lord?  or 
lest  I  be  poor,  and  steal,  and 


take  the  name  of  my  God  in 
vain. 

10  Accuse  not  a  servant  unto 
his  master,  lest  he  curse  thee, 
and  thou  be  found  guilty. 

11  There  is  a  generation  that 
curseth  their  father,  and  doth 
not  bless  their  mother. 

12  There  is  a  generation  that 
are  pure  in  their  own  eyes, 
and  yet  is  not  washed  from 
their  filthiness. 

13  There  is  a  generation,  O 
how  lofty  are  their  eyes!  and 
their  eyelids  are  lifted  up. 

14  There  is  a  generation, 
whose  teeth  are  as  swords,  and 
their  jaw  teeth  as  knives,  to  de- 
vour the  poor  from  off  the  earth, 
and  the  needy  from  among  men. 

15  The  horseleach  hath  two 
daughters,  crying,  Give,  give. 
There  are  three  things  that 
are  nejrer  satisfied,  yea,  four 
things  say  not.  It  is  enough : 

16  The  grave;  and  the  barren 
womb;  the  earth  that  is  not 
filled  with  water;  and  the  fire 
that  saith  not,  It  is  enough. 

17  The  eye  that  mocketh  at 
his  father,  and  despiseth  to 
obey  his  mother;  the  ravens  of 
the  valley  shall  pick  it  out,  and 
the  young  eagles  shall  eat  it 

18  There  be  three  things 
which  are  too  wonderful  for 
me,  yea,  four  which  I  know 
not: 

19  The  way  of  an  eagle  in  the 
air;  the  way  of  a  serpent  upon 
a  rock ;  the  way  of  a  ship  in 
the  midst  of  the  sea ;  and  the 
way  of  a  man  with  a  maid. 

20  Such  is  the  way  of  an 
adulterous  woman ;  she  eateth, 
and  wipeth  her  mouth,  and 
saith,  I  have  done  no  wicked- 
ness. 

21  For  three  things  the  earth 
is  disquieted,  and  for  four 
which  it  cannot  bear: 

22  For  a  servant  when  he 
reigneth;  and  a  fool  when  he 
is  filled  with  meat ; 

23  For  an  odious  woman  when 
she  is  married;  and  an  hand- 
maid that  is  heir  to  her  mistress. 

24  There  be  four  things 
which  are  little  upon  the 
earth,  but  they  are  exceeding 
wise: 

25  The  ants  are  a  people  not 
strong,  yet  they  prepare  their 
meat  in  the  summer; 

26  The  conies  are  but  a  feeble 
folk,  yet  make  they  their  houses 
in  the  rocks ; 

27  The  locusts  have  no  king, 
vet  go  they  forth  all  of  them 
by  bands; 

28  The  spider  taketh  hold  with

29  There  be  three  things 
which  go  well,  yea,  four  are 
comely  m  going : 

30  A  lion  which  is  strongest 
among  beasts,  and  turneth  not 
away  for  any ; 

31  A  greyhound;  an  he  goat 
also ;  and  a  king,  against  whom 
there  is  no  rising  up.     • 

32  If  thou  hast  done  foolishly 
in  lifting  up  thyself,  or  if  thou 
hast  thought  evil,  lay  thine 
hand  upon  thy  mouth. 

33  Surely  the  churning  of  milk 
bringeth  forth  butter,  and  the 
wringing  of  the  nose  bringeth 
forth  blood:  so  the  forcing  of 
wrath  bringeth  forth  strife. 

CHAPTER  31 

hemueVe  lesson  of  chastity  and  tem- 
perance. 10  Praise  and  properties 
ofd  good  wife* 

THE  words  of  king  Lem'u-el, 
the  prophecy  that  his  moth- 
er taught  him. 

2  What,  my  son?  and  what; 
the  son  of  my  womb  ?  and  what, 
the  son  of  my  tows? 

3  Give  not  thy  strength  unto 
women,  nor  thy  ways  to  that 
which  destroyeth  kings. 

A  It  is  not  for  kings,  0  Lem'u- 
el,  it  is  not  for  kings  to  drink 
wine;  nor  for  princes  strong 
drink: 

5  Lest  they  drink,  and  forget 
the  few,  and  pervert  the  judg- 
ment of  any  of  the  afflicted. 

6  Give  strong  drink  unto  him 
that  is  ready  to  perish,  and 
wine  unto  those  that  be  of 
heavy  hearts. 

7  Let  him  drink,  and  forget 
his  poverty,  and  remember  his 
misery  no  more. 

8  Open  thy  mouth  for  the 
dumb  in  the  cause  of  all  such 
as  are  appointed  to  destruction. 

9  Open  thv  mouth,  judge  right* 
eously,  and:  plead  the  cause  of 
the  poor  and  needy. 

10  %  Who  can  find  a  virtuous 
woman?  for  her  price  is  in 
above  rubies. 

11  The  heart  of  her  husband 
doth  safely  trust  in  her,  so  that 
he  shall  have  no  need  of  spoil. 

12  She  will  do  him  good  and 
not  evil  all  the  days  of  her  life; 


13  She  seeketh  wool,  and  flax, 
and  worketh  willingly  with  her 
hands. 

14  She  is  like  the  merchants' 
ships;  she  bringeth  her  food 
from  afar. 

15  She  riseth  also  while  it  is 
yet  night,  and  giveth  meat  to 
her  household,  and  a  portion  to 
her  maidens. 

16  She  considereth  a  field,  and 
buyeth  it :  with  the  fruit  of  her 
hands  she  planteth  a  vineyard. 

17  She  girdeth  her  loins  with 
strength,  and  strengthened  her 
arms. 

18  She  perceiveth  that  her 
merchandise  is  good:  her  can 
die  goeth  not  out  by  night 

19  She  layeth  her  hands  to 
the  spindle,  and  her  hands  hold 
the  distaff. 

20  She  stretcheth  out  her 
hand  to  the  poor;  yea,  she 
reacheth  forth  her  hands  to 
the  needy. 

21  She  is  not  afraid  of  the 
snow  for  her  household:  for 
all  her  household  are  clothed 
with  scarlet 

22  She  maketh  herself  cover- 
ings of  tapestry;  her  clothing 
is  silk  and  purple. 

23  Her  husband  is  known  in 
the  gates,  when  he  sitteth 
among  the  elders  of  the  land. 

24  She  maketh  fine  linen,  and 
selleth  it;  and  delivereth  gir- 
dles unto  the  merchant 

25  Strength  and  honour  are 
her  clothing;  and  she  shall  re- 
joice in  time  to  come. 

26  She  openeth  her  mouth 
with  wisdom;  and  in  her  tongue 
is  the  law  of  kindness. 

27  She  looketh  well  to  the 
ways  of  her  household,  and  eat 
eth  not  the  bread  of  idleness. 

28  Her  children  arise  up,  and 
call  her  blessed;  her  husband 
also,  and  he  praiseth  her. 

29  Many  daughters  have  done 
virtuously,  but  thou  excellest 
them  all. 

30  Favour  is  deceitful,  and 
beauty  is  vain:  but  a  woman 
that  feareth  the  Lord,  she 
shall  be  praised. 

31  Give  her  of  the  fruit  of 
her  hands;  and  let  her  own 
works  praise  her  in  the  gates.

CHAPTER  1 

The  Preacher  shews  that  all  things 

hers  below  are  vain, 

THE  words  of  the  Preacher, 
the  son  of  David* king  in 
Je*u/sa-lein. 

2  Vanity  of  vanities,  aaith  the 
Preacher,  vanity  of  vanities ;  ail 
is  vanity* 

3.  What  profit  hath  a  man  of 
all  his  labour  which  he  taketh 
under  the  sun? 

4  One  generation  passeth 
away,  and  another  generation 
cometh:  but  the  earth  abideth 
for  ever. 

5  The.  sun  also  ariseth,  and 
the  sun  goeth  down,  and  hast- 
eth  to  his  place  where  he  arose. 

6  The  wind  goeth  toward  the 
south,  and  turneth  about  unto 
the  north;  it  whirleth  about 
continually,  and  the  wind  re- 
turneth  again  according  to  his 
circuits. 

7  All  the  rivers  run  into  the 
sea;  yet  the  sea  is  not  full; 
unto-  the  place  from  whence  the 
rivers  come,  thither  they  return 
again. 

8  All  things  are  full  of  la- 
hour;  man  cannot  utter  it:  the 
eye  is  not  satisfied  with  seeing, 
nor  the  ear  filled  with  hearing; 

9  The  thing  that  hath  been, 
it  is  that  which  shall  be;  and 
that  which  is  done  is  that  which 
shall  be  done:  and  there  is  no 
new  thing  under  the  sun.  . 

10  Is  there  any  thing  where* 
of  it  may  be  said,  See,  this  is 
new?  it  hath  been  already  of 
old  time,  which  was  before  us. 

11  There  is  no  remembrance 
•f  former  things ;  neither  shall 
there  be  any  remembrance  of 
things  that  are  to  come  with 
those  that  shall  come  after. 

12  HI  the  Preacher  was  king 
over  Is/ra-el  in  JS-ru/sa-lem. 

13  And  I  gave  my  heart  to 
seek  and  search  out  by  wisdom 
concerning. all  things  that  are 
done  under  heaven:  this  sore 
travail  hath  God  given  to  the 
sons  of  man  to  be  exercised 
therewith. 

14  I  have  seen  all  the  works 
that  are  done  under  the  sun; 
and,  behold,  all  is  vanity  and 
vexation  of  spirit. 

15  That  which  is  crooked 
cannot  be  made  straight:  and 


that  which  is  wanting  cannot 
be  numbered. 

16  I  communed  with  mine 
own  heart,  saying,  Lo,  I  am 
come  to  great  estate,  and  have 
gotten  more  wisdom  than  all 
they  that  have  been  before  me 
in  J&ru/sa-lem :  yea,  my  heart 
had  great  experience  of  wisdom 
and  knowledge. 

17  And  I  gave  my  heart  to 
know  wisdom,  and  to  know  mad- 
ness and  folly :  I  perceived  that 
this  also  is  vexation  of  spirit. 

18  For  in  much  wisdom  is 
much  grief:  and  he  that  in- 
creased knowledge  tncreaseth 
sorrow. 

CHAPTER  2 


Vanity  of  human  courses.   2/kCftke 
cheerful  use  of  what  a  wan  hath. 

I  SAID  in  mine  heart,  Go  to 
now,  I  will  prove  thee  with 
mirth,  therefore  enjoy  pleasure : 
and,  behold,  this  also  t*  vanity. 

2  I  said  of  laughter.  It  is  mad : 
and  of  mirth,  What  doeth  it? 

3  I  sought,  in  mine  heart  to 
give  myself  unto  wine,  yet  ao 

Suainting  mine  heart  with  wis- 
om ;  and  to  lay  hold  on  folly, 
till  I  might  see  what  was  that 
good  for  the  sons  of  men,  which 
they  should  do  under  the  heav- 
en all  the  days  of  their  life. 

4  I  made  me  great  works;  I 
builded  me  houses ;  I  planted  me 
vineyards: 

5  I  made  me  gardens  and  or- 
chards, and  I  planted  trees  in 
them  of  all  kind  of  fruits : 

6  I  made  me  pools  of  water, 
to  water  therewith  the  wood 
that  bringeth  forth  trees : 

7  I  got  me  servants  and  maid- 
ens, and  had  servants  born  in 
my  house  J  also  I  had  great  pos- 
sessions of  great  and  small  cattle 
above  all  that  were  in  J£-ru'sa- 
lem  before  me : 

8  I  gathered  me  also  silver 
and  gold,  and  the  peculiar  treas- 
ure of.  kings  and  of  the  prov* 
inces :  I  gat  me  men  singers  and 
women  singers,  and  the  delights 
of  the  sons  of  men,  as  musical 
instruments,  and  that  of  all 
sorts. 

9  So  I  was  great,  and  in- 
creased more  than  all  that  were 
before  me  in  Je-ru/sa-lem :  also 
my  wisdom  remained  with  me. 

10  And  whatsoever  mine  eyes

desired  I  kept  not  from  them,  I 
withheld  not  my  heart  from  any 
joy ;  for  my  heart  rejoiced  in  all 
my  labour :  and  this  was  my  por- 
tion of  all  my  labour. 

11  Then  I  looked  on  all  the 
works  that  my  hands  had 
wrought,  and  on  the  labour  that 
I  had  laboured  to  do:  and,  be- 
hold, all  was  vanity  and  vexa- 
tion of  spirit,  and  there  was  no 
profit  under  the  sun. 

12  IF  And  I  turned  myself  to 
behold  wisdom,  and  madness, 
and  folly:  for  what  can  the 
man  do  that  cometh  after'  the 
king?  even  that  which  hath 
been  already  done. 

13  Then  I  saw  that  wisdom 
excelleth  folly,  as  far  as  light 
excelleth  darkness. 

14  The  wise  man's  eyes  are 
in  his  head ;  but  the  fool  walk* 
eth  in  darkness:  and  I  myself 
perceived  also  that  one  event 
happeneth  to  them  all. 

15  Then  said  I  in  my  heart, 
As  it  happeneth  to  the  fool,  so 
it  happeneth  even  to  me;  and 
why  was  I  then  more  wise? 
Then  I  said  in  my  heart,  that 
this  also  is  vanity. 

16  For  there  is  no  remem- 
brance of  the  wise  more  than 
of  the  fool  for  ever ;  seeing  that 
which  now  is  in  the  days  to 
come  shall  all  be  forgotten. 
And  how  dieth  the  wise  man  ? 
as  the  fool. 

17  Therefore  I  hated  life;  be- 
cause the  work  that  is  wrought 
under  the  sun  is  grievous  unto 
me:  for  all  is  vanity  and  vexa- 
tion of  spirit 

18  If  Yea;  I  hated  all  my  la- 
bour which  I  had  taken  under 
the  sun :  because  I  should  leave 
it  unto  the  man  that  shall  be 
after  me. 

19  And  who  knoweth  whether 
he  shall  be  a  wise  man  or  a 
fool  ?  yet  shall  he  have  rule  over 
all  my  labour  wherein  I  have 
laboured,  and  wherein  I  have 
shewed  myself  wise  under  the 
sun.    This  is  also  vanity. 

20  Therefore  I  went  about  to 
cause  my  heart  to  despair  of  all 
the  labour  which  I  took  under 
the  sun. 

21  For  there  is  a  man  whose 
labour  is  in  wisdom,  and  in 
knowledge,  and  in  equity;  yet 
to  a  man  that  hath  not  laboured 
therein  shall  he  leave  it  for  his 
portion.  This  also  is  vanity  and 
a  great  evil. 

22  For  what  hath  man  of  all 
his  labour,  and  of  the  vexation 
of  his  heart,  wherein  he  hath 
laboured  under  the  sun  ? 


23  For  all  his  davs  are  sor- 
rows, and  his  travail  grief ;  yea, 
his  heart  taketh  not  rest  in  the 
night    This  is  also  vanity. 

24  t  There  is  nothing  better 
for  a  man,  than  that  he  should 
eat  and  drink,  and  t/ia£  he  should 
make  his  soul  enjoy  good  in  his 
labour.  This  also  I  saw,  that  it 
was  from  the  hand  of  God. 

25  For  who  can  eat,  or  who 
else  can  hasten  hereunto,  more 
than  I? 

2fr  For  God  giveth  to  a  man 
that  is  good  in  his  sight  wis- 
dom, and  knowledge,  and  joy: 
but  to  the  sinner  he  giveth  trav- 
ail, to  gather  and  to  heap  up, 
that  he  may  give  to  him  that 
is  good  before  God.  This  also 
is  vanity  and  vexation  of  spirit. 

CHAPTER  3 

By  the  necessary  change  of  time* 
vanity  i*  added  to  human  travail* 

rpo  every  thing  there  is  a 
X  season,  and  a  time  to  every 
purpose  under  the  heaven : 

2  A  time  to  be  born,  and  a 
time  to  die;  a  time  to  plant, 
and  a  time  to  pluck  up  that 
which  is  plantea ; 

3  A  time  to  kill,  and  a  time  to 
heal ;  a  time  to  break  down,  and 
a  time  to  build  up ;  v 

4  A  rime  to  weep,  and  a  time 
to  laugh ;  a  time  to  mourn,  and 
a  time  to  dance ; 

5  A  time  to  cast  away  stones, 
and  a  time  to  gather  stones  to- 
gether; a  time  to  embrace,  and 
a  time  to  refrain  from  embrac- 
ing; 

6  A  time  to  get,  and  a  time  to 
lose ;  a  time  to  keep,  and  a  time 
to  cast  away; 

7  A  time  to  rend,  and  a  time 
to  sew ;:  a  time  to  keep  silence, 
and  a  time  to  speak ; 

8  A  time  to  love,'  and  a  time 
to  hate;  a  time  of  war,  and  a 
time  of  peace. 

9  What  profit  hath  he  that 
worketh  in  that  wherein  he 
laboureth  ? 

10  I  have  seen  the  travail, 
which  God  hath  given  to  the 
sons  of  men  to  be  exercised 
in  it 

11  He  hath  made  every  thing 
beautiful  in  his  time:  also  he 
hath  set  the  world  in  their 
heart,  so  that  no  man  can  find 
out  the  work  that  God  maketh 
from  the  beginning  to  the  end. 

12  I  know  that  there  is  no 
good  in  them,  but  for  a  man  to 
rejoice,  and  to  do  good  in  his 
life. 

13  And  also  that  every  plan 
should  eat  and  drink,  and  en-

joy  the  good  of  all  his  labour, 
it  is  the  gift  of  God. 

14  I  know  that,  whatsoever 
God  doeth,  it  shall  be  for  ever : 
nothing  can  be  put  to  it,  nor 
any  thing  taken  from  it:  and 
God  doeth  it,  that  men  should 
fear  before  him. 

15  That  which  hath  been  is 
now;  and  that  which  is  to  be 
hath  already  been ;  and  God  re- 
quireth  that  which  is  past 

16  And  moreover  I  saw  under 
the  sun  the  place  of  judgment, 
that  wickedness  was  there ;  and 
the  place  of  righteousness,  that 
iniquity  was  there. 

17  I  said  in  mine  heart,  God 
shall  judge  the  righteous  and 
the  wicked :  for  there  is  a  time 
there  for  every  purpose  and  for 
every  work. 

18  I  said  in  mine  heart  con- 
cerning the  estate  of  the  sons  of 
men,  that  God  might  manifest 
them,  and  that  they  might  see 
that  they  themselves  are  beasts. 

19  For  that  which  befalleth 
the  sons  of  men  befalleth 
beasts;  even  one  thing  befall- 
eth them :  as  the  one  dieth,  so 
dieth  the  other;  yea,  they  have 
all  one  breath ;  so  that  a  man 
hath  no  preeminence  above  a 
beast :  for  all  is  vanity. 

20  All  go  unto  one  place ;  all 
are  of  the  dust,  and  all  turn  to 
dust  again. 

21  Who  knoweth  the  spirit  of 
man  that  goeth  upward,  and  the 
spirit  of  the  beast  that  goeth 
downward  to  the  earth  ? 

22  Wherefore  I  perceive  that 
there  is  nothing  better,  than 
that  a  man  should  rejoice  in 
his  own  works ;  for  that  is  his 
portion:  for  who  shall  bring 
him  to  see  what  shall  be  after 
him? 

CHAPTER  4 

Vanity  increased  unto  men  by  op- 

rrtssion.  4  by  envy,  5  by  idleness, 
by  eovetousness.  9  by  solitariness, 
13  and  by  wilfulness. 

SO  I  returned,  and  considered 
all  the  oppressions  that  are 
done  under  the  sun :  and  behold 
the  tears  of  such  as  were  op- 
pressed, and  they  had  no  com- 
forter; and  on  the  side  of  their 
oppressors  there  was  power; 
but  they  had  no  comforter. 

2  Wherefore  I  praised  the  dead 
which  are  already  dead  more 
than  the  living  which  are  yet 
alive. 

3  Yea,  better  is  he  than  both 
they,  which  hath  not  yet  been, 
who  hath  not  seen  the  evil 
work  that  is  done  under  the 
sun. 

4  IF  Again,  I  considered  all  trav- 


ail, and  every  right  work,  that 
for  this  a  man  is  envied  of  his 
neighbour.  This  is  also  vanity 
and  vexation  of  spirit 

5  TThe  fool  f oldeth  his  hands 
together,  and  eateth  his  own 
flesh. 

6  Better  is  an  handful  with 
quietness,  than  both  the  hands 
full  with  travail  and  vexation 
of  spirit 

7  TOien  I  returned,  and  I  saw 
vanity  under  the  sun. 

8  There  is  one  alone,  and 
there  is  not  a  second;  yea,  he 
hath  neither  child  nor  brother: 
yet  is  there  no  end  of  all  his 
labour ;  neither  is  his  eye  satis- 
fied with  riches ;  neither  saith 
he,  For  whom  do  I  labour,  and 
bereave  my  soul  of  good  ?  This 
is  also  vanity,  yea,  it  is  a  sore 
travail 

9  %  Two  are  better  than  one ; 
because  they  have  a  good  re- 
ward for  their  labour. 

10  For  if  they  fall,  the  one  will 
lift  up  his  fellow:  but  woe  to 
him  that  is  alone  when  he  fall- 
eth ;  for  he  hath  not  another  to 
help  him  up. 

11  Again,  if  two  lie  together, 
then  they  have  heat:  but  how 
can  one  be  warm  alone  f 

12  And  if  one  prevail  against 
him,  two  shall  withstand  him; 
and  a  threefold  cord  is  not 
quickly  broken. 

13  IF  Better  is  a  poor  and  a 
wise  child  than  an  old  and 
foolish  kine,  who  will  no  more 
be  admonished. 

14  For  out  of  prison  he  com- 
eth  to  reign;  whereas  also  he 
that  is  born  in  his  kingdom  be- 
cometh  poor. 

15  I  considered  all  the  living 
which  walk  under  the  sun,  with 
the  second  child  that  shall  stand 
up  in  his  stead. 

16  There  is  no  end  of  all  the 
people,  even  of  all  that  have 
been  before  them:  they  also 
that  come  after  shall  not  rejoice 
in  him.  Surely  this  also  is  van- 
ity and  vexation  of  spirit

upon  earth:  therefore  let  thy 
words  be  few. 

3  For  a  dream  cometh  through 
the  multitude  of  business ;  and 
a  fool's  voice  is  known  by  multi- 
tude of  words. 

4  When  thou  vowest  a  vow 
unto  God,  defer  not  to  pay  it; 
for  he  hath  no  pleasure  in  fools': 
pay  that  which  thou  hast  vowed. 

5  Better  is  it  that  thou  should- 
est  not  vow,  than  that  thou 
shouldest  vow  and  not  pay. 

6  Suffer  not  thy  mouth  to 
cause  thy  flesh  to  sin ;  neither 
say  thou  before  the  angel,  that 
it  was  an  error:  wherefore 
should  God  be  angry  at  thy 
voice,  and  destroy  the  work  of 
thine  hands  ? 

7  For  in  the  multitude  of 
dreams  and  many  words  there 
are  also  divers  vanities:  but 
fear  thou  God. 

8  t  If  thou  seest  the  oppres- 
sion of  the  poor,  and  violent 
perverting  of  judgment  and  jus- 
tice in  a  province,  marvel  not 
at  the  matter:  for  he  that  is 
higher  than  the  highest  regard- 
eth;  and  there  be  higher  than 
they. 

9  IT  Moreover  the  profit  of  the 
earth  is  for  all :  the  king  him- 
self is  served  by  the  field. 

10  He  that  loveth  silver  shall 
not  be  satisfied  with  silver;  nor 
he  that  loveth  abundance  with 
increase:  this  is  also  vanity. 

11  When  goods  increase,  they 
are  increased  that  eat  them: 
and  what  good  is  there  to  the 
owners  thereof,  saving  the  be- 
holding of  them  with  their 
eyes? 

12  The  sleep  of  a  labouring 
man  is  sweet  whether  he  eat 
little  or  much:  but  the  abun- 
dance of  the  rich  will  not  suffer 
him  to  sleep. 

13  There  is  a  sore  evil  which 
I  have  seen  under  the  sun, 
namely,  riches  kept  for  the 
owners  thereof  to  their  hurt 

14  But  those  riches  perish  by 
evil  travail:  and  he  begettetn 
a  son,  and  there  is  nothing  in 
his  hand. 

15  As  he  came  forth  of  his 
mother's  womb,  naked  shall  he 
return  to  go  as  he  came,  and 
shall  take  nothing  of  his  la- 
bour, which  he  may  carry  away 
in  his  hand. 

16  And  this  also  is  a  sore  evil, 
that  in  all  points  as  he  came, 
so  shall  he  go :  and  what  profit 
hath  he  that  hath  laboured  for 
the  wind? 

17  All  his  days  also  he  eateth 
in  darkness,  and  he  hath  much 


sorrow  and  wrath  with  his  sick- 
ness. 

18  1T  Behold  that  which  I  have 
seen:  it  is  good  and  comely 
for  one  to  eat  and  to  drink, 
and  to  enjoy  the  good  of  all 
his  labour  that  he  taketh  under 
the  sun  all  the  days  of  his  life, 
which  God  giveth  him:  for  it 
is  his  portion. 

19  Every  man  also  to  whom 
God  hath  given  riches  and 
wealth,  and  hath  given  him 
power  to  eat  thereof,  and  to 
take  his  portion,  and  to  rejoice 
in  his  labour;  this  is  the  gift 
of  God. 

20  For  he  shall  not  much  re- 
member the  days  of  his  life; 
because  God  answereth  him  in 
the  joy  of  his  heart 

CHAPTER  6 

Vanity  of  riches  without  tue;  3  of 

long  life  without  good,  etc. 

THERE  is  an  evil  which  I 
have  seen  under  the  sun, 
and  it  is  common  among  men : 

2  A  man  to  whom  God  hath 
given  riches,  wealth,  and  honour, 
so  that  he  wanteth  nothing  for 
his  soul  of  all  that  he  desireth, 
yet  God  giveth  him  not  power 
to  eat  thereof,  but  a  stranger 
eateth  it:  this  is  vanity,  and  it 
is  an  evil  disease. 

3  Ulf  a  man  beget  an  hundred 
children,  and  live  many  years, 
so  that  the  days  of  his  years  be 
many,  and  his  soul  be  not  filled 
with  good,  and  also  that  he 
have  no  burial ;  I  say,  that  an 
untimely  birth  is  better  than  he. 

4  For  he  cometh  in  with  van- 
ity, and  departeth  in  darkness, 
and  his  name  shall  be  covered 
with  darkness. 

5  Moreover  he  hath  not  seen 
the  sun,  nor  known  any  thing : 
this  hath  more  rest  than  the 
other. 

6  Yea,  though  he  live  a  thou- 
sand years  twice  told,  yet  hath 
he  seen  no  good:  do  not  all  go 
to  one  place  ? 

7  All  the  labour  of  man  is  for 
his  mouth,  and  yet  the  appetite 
is  not  filled. 

8  For  what  hath  the  wise  more 
than  the  fool?  what  hath  the 
poor,  that  knoweth  to  walk  be- 
fore the  living? 

9  Better  is  the  sight  of  the 
eyes  than  the  wandering  of  the 
desire :  this  is  also  vanity  and 
vexation  of  spirit 

10  HThat  which  hath  been  is 
named  already,  and  it  is  known 
that  it  is  man :  neither  may  he 
contend  with  him  that  is  might- 
ier than  he.

things  that  increase  vanity, 
what  is  man  the  better? 
12  For  who  knoweth  what  is 
good  for  man  in  this  life,  all 
the  days  of  his  vain  life  which 
he  spendeth  as  a  shadow?  for 
who  can  tell  a  man  what  shall 
be  after  him  under  the  sun  ? 

CHAPTER  7 

Remedies  against  vanity  are  a  good 
name,  2  mortification,  7  patienee. 

A  GOOD  name  is  better  than 
precious  ointment ;  and 
the  day  of  death  than  the  day 
of  one  s  birth. 

2  %It  is  better  to  go  to  the 
house  of  mourning,  than  to  go 
to  the  house  of  feasting:  for 
that  is  the  end  of  all  men; 
and  the  living  will  lay  it  to 
his  heart 

3  Sorrow  is  better  than  laugh- 
ter: for  by  the  sadness  of  the 
countenance  the  heart  is  made 
better. 

4  The  heart  of  the  wise  is  in 
the  house  of  mourning ;  but  the 
heart  of  fools  is  in  the  house  of 
mirth. 

5  It  is  better  to  hear  the  re- 
buke of  the  wise,  than  for  a 
man  to  hear  the  song  of  fools. 

6  For  as  the  crackling  of 
thorns  under  a  pot,  so  is  the 
laughter  of  the  fool:  this  also 
is  vanity. 

7  IF  Surely  oppression  maketh 
a  wise  man  mad ;  and  a  gift  de- 
stroyed the  heart 

8  Better  is  the  end  of  a  thing 
than  the  beginning  thereof: 
and  the  patient  in  spirit  is  bet- 
ter than  the  proud  in  spirit 

9  Be  not  hasty  in  thy  spirit  to 
be  angry :  for  anger  resteth  in 
the  bosom  of  fools. 

10  Say  not  thou,  What  is  the 
cause  that  the  former  days  were 
better  than  these?  for  thou  dost 
not  enquire  wisely  concerning 
this. 

11  IT  Wisdom  is  good  with  an 
inheritance:  and  by  it  there  is 
profit  to  them  that  see  the  sun. 

12  For  wisdom  is  a  defence, 
and  money  is  a  defence:  but 
the  excellency  of  knowledge  is, 
that  wisdom  giveth  life  to  them 
that  have  it 

13  Consider  the  work  of  God: 
for  who  can  make  that  straight, 
which  he  hath  made  crooked? 

14  In  the  day  of  prosperity  be 
joyful,  but  in  the  day  of  adver- 
sity consider :  God  also  hath  set 
the  one  over  against  the  other, 
to  the  end  that  man  should  find 
nothing  after  him. 

15  All  things  have  I  seen  in 
the  days  of  my  vanity:  there 
is  a  just  man  that  perisheth  in 


his  righteousness,  and  there  is 
a  wicked  man  that  prolongeth 
his  life  in  his  wickedness. 

16  Be  not  righteous  over 
much;  neither  make  thyself 
over  wise :  why  shouidest  thou 
destroy  thyself  ? 

17  Be  not  over  much  wicked, 
neither  be  thou  foolish:  why 
shouidest  thou  die  before  thy 
time? 

18  It  is  good  that  thou  should 
est  take  hold  of  this;  yea,  also 
from  this  withdraw  not  thine 
hand :  for  he  that  f eareth  God 
shall  come  forth  of  them  all. 

19  Wisdom  strengthened  the 
wise  more  than  ten  mighty  men 
which  are  in  the  city. 

20  For  there  is  not  a  just  man 
upon  earth,  that  doeth  good,  and 
sinneth  not 

21  Also  take  no  heed  unto  all 
words  that  are  spoken ;  lest  thou 
hear  thy  servant  curse  thee : 

22  For  oftentimes  also  thine 
own  heart  knoweth  that  thou 
thyself  likewise  hast  cursed 
others. 

23  All  this  have  I  proved  by 
wisdom:  I  said,  I  will  be  wise; 
but  it  was  far  from  me. 

24  That  which  is  far  off,  and 
exceeding  deep,  who  can  find  it 
out? 

25  I  applied  mine  heart  to 
know,  and  to  search,  and  to  seek 
out  wisdom,  and  the  reason  of 
things,  and  to  know  the  wicked- 
ness of  folly,  even  of  foolishness 
and  madness : 

26  And  I  find  more  bitter 
than  death  the  woman,  whose 
heart  is  snares  and  nets,andher 
hands  as  bands :  whoso  pleaseth 
God  shall  escape  from  her ;  but 
the  sinner  shall  be  taken  by  her. 

27  Behold,  this  have  I  found, 
saith  the  preacher,  counting 
one  by  one,  to  find  out  the 
account : 

28  Which  yet  my  soul  seeketh, 
but  I  find  not :  one  man  among 
a  thousand  have  I  found ;  but  a 
woman  among  all  those  have  I 
not  found. 

29  Lo,  this  only  have  I  found, 
that  God  hath  made  man  up- 
right ;  but  they  have  sought  out 
many  inventions. 

CHAPTER  8 

Divine  providence  to  be  observed, 
12  It  ts  better  with  the  godly  in 
adversity,  than  with  the  wicked  in 
prosperity. 

TT7H0  is  as  the  wise  man  ? 
VV  and  who  knoweth  the  in- 
terpretation of  a  thing  ?  a  man's 
wisdom  maketh  his  face  to 
shine,  and  the  boldness  of  his 
face  shall  be  changed.

2  I  counsel  thee  to  keep  the 
king's  commandment,  and  that 
in  regard  of  the  oath  of  God. 

3  Be  not  hasty  to  go  out  of 
his  sight:  stand  not  in  an  evil 
thing ;  for  he  doeth  whatsoever 
pleaseth  him. 

4  Where  the  word  of  a  king 
is,  there  is  power:  and  who 
may  say  unto  him.  What  doest 
thou? 

5  Whoso  keepeth  the  com- 
mandment  shall  feel  no  evil 
thing:  and  a  wise  man's  heart 
discerneth  both  time  and  judg- 
ment 

6  Because  to  every  purpose 
there  is  time  and  judgment, 
therefore  the  misery  of  man  is 
great  upon  him. 

7  For  he  knoweth  not  that 
which  shall  be:  for  who  can 
tell  him  when  it  shall  be? 

8  There  is  no  man  that  hath 
power  over  the  spirit  to  retain 
the  spirit;  neither  hath  he 
power  in  the  day  of  death :  and 
there  is  no  discharge  in  that 
war;  neither  shall  wickedness 
deliver  those  that  are  given 
to  it 

9  All  this  have  I  seen,  and 
applied  my  heart  unto  every 
work  that  is  done  under  the 

n:  there  is  a  time  wherein 
one  man  ruleth  over  another  to 
his  own  hurt 

10  And  so  I  saw  the  wicked 
buried,  who  had  come  and  gone 
from  the  place  of  the  holy,  and 
they  were  forgotten  in  the  city 
where  they  had  so  done :  this  W 
also  vanity. 

11  Because  sentence  against 
an  evil  work  is  not  executed 
speedily,  therefore  the  heart  of 
the  sons  of  men  is  fully  set  in 
them  to  do  evil. 

12  Though  a  sinner  do  evil 
an  hundred  times,  and  his  days 
be  prolonged,  yet  Surely  I  know 
that  it  shall  be  well  with  them 
that  fear  God,  which  fear  before 
him: 

13  But  it  shall  not  be  well 
with  the  wicked,  neither  shall 
he  prolong  his  days,  which  are 
as  a  shadow;  because  he  feareth 
not  before  God. 

14  There  is  a  vanity  which  is 
done  upon  the  earth ;  that  there 
be  just  men,  unto  whom  it  hap- 
peneth  according  to  the  work 
of  the  wicked ;  again,  there  be 
wicked  men,  to  whom  it  hap- 
peneth  according  to  the  work 
of  the  righteous:  I  said  that 
this  also  is  vanity. 

15  Then  I  commended  mirth, 
because  a  man  hath  no  better 
thing  under  the  tan,  than  to  eat, 


and  to  drink,  and  to  be  merry : 
for  that  shall  abide  with  him  of 
his  labour  the  days  of  his  life, 
which  God  giveth  him  under  the 
sun. 

16  IF  When  I  applied  mine 
heart  to  know  wisdom,  and  to 
see  the  business  that  is  done 
upon  the  earth :  (for  also  there 
is  that  neither  day  nor  night 
seeth  sleep  with  his  eyes:) 

17  Then  I  beheld  all  the  work 
of  God,  that  a  man  cannot  find 
out  the  work  that  is  done  under 
the  sun :  because  though  a  man 
labour  to  seek  it  out,  yet  he  shall 
not  find  it ;  yea  farther ;  though 
a  wise  man  think  to  know  it, 
yet  shall  he  not  be  able  to  find 
it. 

CHAPTER  9 

Like  things  happen  to  good  and  bad. 
7  How  to  enjoy  the  good  of  this 
life.  13  Wisdom  is  better  than 
strength, 

FOR  all  this  I  considered  in 
my  heart  even  to  declare 
all  this,  that  the  righteous,  and 
the  wise,  and  their  works,  are 
in  the  hand  of  God:  no  man 
knoweth  either  love  or  hatred 
by  all  that  is  before  them. 

2  All  things  come  alike  to  all : 
there  is  one  event  to  the  right- 
eous, and  to  the  wicked ;  to  the 
good  and  to  the  clean,  and  to 
the  unclean ;  to  him  that  sacri- 
ficeth,  and  to  him  that  sacrifi- 
ceth  not :  as  is  the  good,  so  is 
the  sinner ;  and  he  that  swear- 
eth,  as  he  that  feareth  an  oath. 

3  This  is  an  evil  among  all 
things  that  are  done  under  the 
sun,  that  there  is  one  event  un- 
to all :  yea,  also  the  heart  of  the 
sons  of  men  is  full  of  evil,  and 
madness  is  in  their  heart  while 
they  live,  and  after  that  they 
go  to  the  dead. 

4  For  to  him  that  is  joined  to 
all  the  living  there  is  hope :  for 
a  living  dog  is  better  than  a 
dead  lion. 

5  For  the  living  know  that 
they  shall  die:  but  the  dead 
know  not  any  thing,  neither 
have  they  any  more  a  reward ; 
for  the  memory  of  them  is  for- 
gotten. 

6  Also  their  love,  and  their 
hatred,  and  their  envy,  is  now 
perished;  neither  have  they 
any  more  a  portion  for  ever  in 
any  thing  that  is  done  under 
the  sun. 

7  1FGo  thy  way,  eat  thy  bread 
with  joy,  and  drink  thy  wine 
with  a  merry  heart;  for  God 
now  accepteth  thy  works. 

8  Let  thy  garments  be  always 
white;  and  let  thy  head  lack 
no  ointment

9  Live  joyfully  with  the  wife 
whom  thou  lovest  all  the  days 
of  the  life  of  thy  vanity,  which 
he  hath  given  thee  under  the 
sun,  all  the  days  of  thy  vanity : 
for  that  is  thy  portion  in  this 
life,  and  in  thy  labour  which 
thou  takest  under  the  sun. 

10  Whatsoever  thy  hand  find- 
eth  to  do,  do  it  with  thy  might ; 
for  there  is  no  work,  nor  de- 
vice, nor  knowledge,  nor  wis- 
dom, in  the  grave,  whither  thou 
goest 

11  HI  returned,  and  saw  under 
the  sun,  that  the  racer*  not  to 
the  swift,  nor  the  battle  to  the 
strong,  neither  yet  bread  to  the 
wise,  nor  yet  riches  to  men  of 
understanding,  nor  yet  favour 
to  men  of  skill;  but  time  and 
chance  happeneth  to  them  all. 

12  For  man  also  knoweth  not 
his  time :  as  the  fishes  that  are 
taken  in  an  evil  net,  and  as  the 
birds  that  are  caught  in  the 
snare ;  so  are  the  sons  of  men 
snared  in  an  evil  time,  when  it 
falletb  suddenly  upon  them. 

13  t  This  wisdom  have  I 
seen  also  under  the  sun,  and  it 
seemed  great  unto  me : 

14  There  was  a  little  city, 
and  few  men  within  it;  and 
there  came  a  great  king  against 
it,  and  besieged  it,  and  built 
great  bulwarks  against  it: 

15  Now  there  was  found  in  it 
a  poor  wise  man,  and  he  by  his 
wisdom  delivered  the  city ;  yet 
no  man  remembered  that  same 
poor  man. 

16  Then  said  I,  Wisdom  is 
better  than  strength:  never- 
theless the  poor  man's  wisdom 
is  despised,  and  his  words  are 
not  heard. 

17  The  words  of  wise  men  are 
heard  in  quiet  more  than  the 
cry  of  him  that  ruleth  among 
fools. 

18  Wisdom  is  better  than 
weapons  of  war:  but  one  sin- 
ner destroyeth  much  good. 

CHAPTER  10 

Of  wisdom  and  folly,  16  of  riot.  18 

dothfulness,  19  and  money. 

DEAD  flies  cause  the  oint- 
ment of  the  apothecary  to 
send  forth  a  stinking  savour: 
so  doth  a  little  folly  him  that 
is  in  reputation  for  wisdom  and 
honour. 

2  A  wise  man's  heart  is  at 
his  right  hand;  but  a  fool's 
heart  at  his  left 

3  Yea  also,  when  he  that  is 
a  fool  walketh  by  the  way,  his 
wisdom  faileth  him,  and  he 
saith  to  every  one  that  he  is  a 
fool. 


4  If  the  spirit  of  the  ruler 
rise  up  against  thee,  leave  not 
thy  place;  for  yielding  pacifi- 
eth  great  offences. 

5  There  is  an  evil  which  I 
have  seen  under  the  sun,  as  an 
error  which  proceedeth  from 
the  ruler: 

6  Folly  is  set  in  great  dignity, 
and  the  rich  sit  in  low  place. 

7  I  have  seen  servants  upon 
horses,  and  princes  walking  as 
servants  upon  the  earth. 

8  He  that  diggeth  a  pit  shall 
fall  into  it;  and  whoso  break- 
eth  an  hedge,  a  serpent  shall 
bite  him.  m 

9  Whoso  removeth  stones  shall 
be  hurt  therewith ;  and  he  that 
cleaveth  wood  shall  be  endan- 
gered thereby. 

10  If  the  iron  be  blunt,  and 
he  do  not  whet  the  edge,  then 
must  he  put  to  more  strength : 
but  wisdom  is  profitable  to  di- 
rect 

11  Surely  the  serpent  will  bite 
without  enchantment;  and  a 
babbler  is  no  better. 

12  The  words  of  a  wise  man's 
mouth  are  gracious;  but  the 
lips  of  a  fool  will  swallow  up 
himself. 

13  The  beginning  of  the  words 
of  his  mouth  is  foolishness 
and  the  end  of  his  talk  is  mis- 
chievous madness. 

14  A  fool  also  is  full  of  words : 
a  man  cannot  tell  what  shall  be ; 
and  what  shall  be  after  him, 
who  can  tell  him? 

15  The  labour  of  the  foolish 
wearieth  every  one  of  them,  be- 
cause he  knoweth  not  how  to 
go  to  the  city. 

16  Woe  to  thee,  O  land,  when 
thy  king  is  a  child,  and  thy 
princes  eat  in  the  morning! 

17  Blessed  art  thou,  O  land, 
when  thy  king  is  the  son  of 
nobles,  and  thy  princes  eat  in 
due  season,  for  strength,  and 
not  for  drunkenness! 

18  IT  By  much  slothf  ulness  the 
building  decayeth ;  and  through 
idleness  of  the  hands  the  house 
droppeth  through. 

19  IT  A  feast  is  made  for 
laughter,  and  wine  maketh 
merry:  but  money  answereth 
all  things. 

20  1  Curse  not  the  king,  no 
not  in  thy  thought;  and  curse 
not  the  rich  in  thy  bedchamber : 
for  a  bird  of  the  air  shall  carry 
the  voice,  and  that  which  hath 
wings  shall  tell  the  matter.

of  God  who  maketh  alL 

6  In  the  morning  sow  thy  seed, 
and  in  the  evening  withhold 
not  thine  hand :  for  thou  know* 
est  not  whether  shall  prosper, 
either  this  or  that,  or  whether 
they  both  shall  be  alike  good. 

7  t  Truly  the  light  is  sweet, 
and  a  pleasant  thing  it  is  fox 
the  eyes  to  behold  the  sun: 

8  But  if  a  man  live  many 
years,  and  rejoice  in  them  all; 
yet  let  him  remember  the  days 
of  darkness;  for  they  shall  be 
many.  All  that  cometh  is  van- 
ity. 

9  IT  Rejoice,  0  young  man,  in 
thy  youth;  and  let  thy  heart 
cheer  thee  in  the  days  of  thy 
youth,  and  walk  in  the  ways  of 
thine  heart,  and  in  the  sight  of 
thine  eyes :  but  know  thou,  that 
for  all  these  things  God  will 
bring  thee  into  judgment 

10  Therefore  remove  sorrow 
from  thy  heart,  and  put  away 
evil  from  thy  flesh:  for  child- 
hood and  youth  are  vanity. 

CHAPTER  12 

The  Creator  to  be  remembered  in  the 
days  of  youth,  and  muet  not  be  de- 
ferred. 13  The  fear  of  God  the 
chief  concern  of  man, 

REMEMBER  now  thy  Creator 
in  the  days  of  thy  youth, 
while  the  evil  days  come  not, 
nor  the  years  draw  nigh,  when 
thou  shalt  say,  I  have  no  pie 
ore  in  them ; 
2  While  the  sun,  or  the  light, 
or  the  moon,  or  the  stars,  be 


not  darkened,  nor  the  clouds 
return  after  the  rain : 

3  In  the  day  when  the  keepers 
of  the  house  shall  tremble,  and 
the  strong  men  shall  bow  them- 
selves, and  the  grinders  cease 
because  they  are  few,  and  those 
that  look  out  of  the  windows 
be  darkened, 

4  And  the  doors  shall  be  shut 
in  the  streets,  when  the  sound 
of  the  grinding  is  low,  and  he 
shall  rise  up  at  the  voice  of  the 
bird,  and  all  the  daughters  of 
rmtsick  shall  be  brought  low ; 

5  Also  when  they  shall  be 
afraid  of  that  which  is  high, 
and  fears  shall  be  in  the  way, 
and  the  almond  tree  shall  flour- 
ish, and  the  grasshopper  shall 
be  a  burden,  and  desire  shall 
fail :  because  man  goeth  to  his 
long  home,  and  the  mourners 
go  about  the  streets : 

6  Or  ever  the  silver  cord  be 
loosed,  or  the  golden  bowl  be 
broken,  or  the  pitcher  be  broken 
at  the  fountain,  or  the  wheel 
broken  at  the  cistern. 

7  Then  shall  the  dust  return 
to  the  earth  as  it  was:  and  the 
spirit  shall  return  unto  God  who 
gave  it 

8  11  Vanity  of  vanities,  saith 
the  preacher;  all  is  vanity. 

9  And  moreover,  because  the 
preacher  was  wise,  he  still 
taught  the  people  knowledge; 
yea,  he  gave  good  heed,  and 
sought  out,  and  set  in  order 
many  proverbs. 

10  The  preacher  sought  to  find 
out  acceptable  words :  and  that 
which  was  written  was  up- 
right, even  words  of  truth. 

11  The  words  of  the  wise  are 
as  goads,  and  as  nails  fastened 
'  j  the  masters  of  assemblies, 
which  are  given  from  one 
shepherd. 

12  And  further,  by  these,  my 
son,  be  admonished :  of  making 
many  books  there  is  no  end; 
and  much  study  is  a  weariness 
of  the  flesh. 

13  IF  Let  us  hear  the  con- 
clusion of  the  whole  matter: 
Pear  God,  and  keep  his  com- 
mandments: for,. this  is  the 
whole  duty  of  man. 

14  For  God  shall  bring  every 
work  into  judgment,  with  every 
secret  thing,  whether  it  be  good, 
or  whether  it  be  eviL

The  church'*  love  to  Christ:  5  she 
'confesses  her  deformity*  7  and 
yrays  to  he  directed  to.hssfioek.  8 
Christ  directs  hex  to  **«  shepherds* 
tents;  9  and  shewing  his  love  to 
her,  11  gives  her  gracious  promises. 
12  Th*  church  and  Christ  congratu- 
late each  other* 

THE  song  of  songs,  which  is 
Sdl'o-mbn's. 

2  Let  him  kiss  me  with  the 
kisses  of  his  mouth:  lor  thy 
lore  is  better  than  wine. 

3  Because  of  the  savour  of  thy 
good  ointments  thy  name  is  as 
ointment  poured  forth,  there- 
fore do  the  virgins  love  thee. 

4  Draw  me,  we  will  run  after 
thee :  the  king  hath  brought  me 
into  his  chambers :  we  will  be 
glad  and  rejoice  in  thee,  we  will 
remember  thy  lore  more  than 
wine :  the  upright  love  thee. 

5  %  I  om  black,  but  comely, 
O  ye  daughters  of  J§-ru'sfi-lem, 
as  the  tents  of  Ke'dar,  as  the 
curtains  of  SoTo-mon. 

6  Look  not  upon  me,  because 
am  black,  because  the  sun 

hath  looked  upon  me :  my  moth- 
er's children  were  angry  with 
me;  they  made  me  the  keeper 
of  the  vineyards ;  but  mine  own 
vineyard  have  i  not  kept 

7  Tell  me,  O  thou  whom  my 
soul  loveth,  where  thou  f eedest, 
where  thou  makest  thy  flock  to 
rest  at  noon :  for  why  should  I 
be  as  one  that  turneth  aside  by 
the  flocks  of  thy  companions  ? 

8  %  If  thou  know  not,  O  thou 
fairest  among  women,  go  thy 
way  forth  by  the  footsteps  of 
the  flock,  and  feed  thy  kids  be- 
side the  shepherds'  tents. 

9  I  have  compared  thee,  O  my 
love,  to  a  company  of  horses  in 
Pha'raoh's  chariots. 

10  Thy  cheeks  are  comely 
with  rows  of  jewels,  thy  neck 
with  chains  ofgdlcL 

11  We  will  make  thee  borders 
of  gold  with  studs  of  silver. 

12  While  the  king  sitteth  at 
his  table,  my  spikenard  sendeth 
forth  the  smell  thereof. 

13  A  bundle  of  myrrh  is  my 
wellbeloved  unto  me;  he  shall 
lie  all  night  betwixt  my  breasts. 

14  My  beloved  is  unto  me  as 
:  cluster  of  camphire  in  the 

vineyards  of  fin-gg'di. 

15  Behold,  thou  art  fair,  my 


love;  behold,  thou  art  fair; 
thou  hast  doves'  eyes. 

16  Behold,  thou  art  fair,  my 
beloved,  yea,  pleasant :  also  our 
bed  is  green. 

17  The  beams  of  our  house 
are  cedar,  and  our  rafters  of 
fir. 

CHAPTER  2 

Mutual  love  of  Christ  and  his  church. 
8  Her  hope.  10  and  calling.  14 
Christ's  cars  of  her.  16  Her  pro- 
fession, faith,  and  hope. 

I  AM  the  rose  of  Sblr'on,  and 
the  lily  of  the  valleys. 

2  As  the  lily  among  thorns, 
so  is  my  love  among  the  daugh* 
ters. 

3  As  the  apple  tree  among 
the  trees  of  tne  wood,  so  is  my 
beloved  among  the  sons.  I  sat 
down  under  his  shadow  with 
great  delight,  and  his  fruit  was 
sweet  bo  my  taste. 

4  He  brought  me  to  the  ban- 
queting house,  and  his  banner 
over  me  was  love. 

5  Stay  me  with  flagons,  com- 
fort me  with  apples:  for  I  am 
sick  of  love. 

6  Hisi  left  hand  is  under  mv 
head,  and  his  right  hand  doth 
embrace  me. 

7  I. charge  you,  O  ye  daugh- 
ters of  J£-rg'sS-l£m,  by  the  roes, 
and  by  the  hinds  of  the  field, 
that  ye  stir  not  up,  nor  awake 
my  love,  till  he  please. 

8  f  The  voice  of  my  beloved ! 
behold,  he  cometh  leaping  upon 
the  mountains,  skipping  upon 
the  hills. 

9  My  beloved  is  like  a  roe  or 
a  young  hart :  behold,  he  stand- 
eth  behind  our  wall,  he  looketh 
forth  at  the  windows,  shewing 
himself  through  the  lattice. 

10  My  beloved  spake,  and  said 
unto  me,  Rise  up,  my  love,  my 
fair  one,  and  come  away.  : 

11  For;  lo,  the  winter  is  past, 
the  rain  is  over  and  gone ; 

12  The  flowers  appear  on  the 
earth ;  the  time  of  the  singing 
of  birds  is  come,  and  the  voice 
of  the  turtle  is  heard  in  our 
land; 

13  The  fig  tree  putteth  forth 
her  green  figs,  and  the  vines 
with  the  tender  grape  give  a 
good  smell.  Arise,  my  love,  my 
fair  one,  and  come  away.

7%e  church's  fight  and  victory  in 
temptation.   $  She  giories  in  Christ. 

BY  night  on  my  bed  I  sought 
him  whom  my  soul  loveth : 
I  sought  him,  but  I  found  him 
not 

2  I  will  rise  now,  and  go 
about  the  city  in  the  streets, 
and  in  the  broad  ways  I  will 
seek  him  whom  my  soul  loveth : 
I  sought  him,  but  I  found  him 
not 

3  The  watchmen  that  go  about 
the  city  found  me:  to  whom  I 
said,  Saw  ye  him  whom  my  soul 
loveth? 

4  It  was  but  a  little  that  I 
Missed  from  them,  but  I  found 
im  whom  my  soul  loveth 


I 
held  him,  and  would  not  let  him 
go,  until  I  had  brought  him  in- 
to my  mother's  house,  and  into 
the  chamber  of  her  that  con- 
ceived me. 

5  I  charge  you,  O  ye  daugh- 
ters of  J&ru'sa-lem,  by  the  roes, 
and  by  the  hinds  of  the  field, 
that  ye  stir  not  up,  nor  awake 
my  love,  till  he  please. 

6  11  Who  is  this  that  cometh 
out  of  the  wilderness  like  pillars 
of  smoke,  perfumed  with  myrrh 
and  frankincense,  with  all  pow- 
ders of  the  merchant? 

7  Behold  his  bed,  which  is 
SoTo-mon's;  threescore  valiant 
men  are  about  it,  of  the  valiant 
of  Is'ra-el. 

8  They  all  hold  swords,  be- 
ing expert  in  war:  every  man 
hath  nis  sword  upon  his 
thigh  because  of  fear  in  the 
night 

9  King  SdTo-mon  made  him- 
self a  chariot  of  the  wood  of 
LeVa-non. 

10  He  made  the  pillars  thereof 
of  silver,  the  bottom  thereof  of 
gold,  the  covering  of  it  of  pur- 
ple, the  midst  thereof  being 
paved  with  love,  for  the  daugh- 
ters of  JS-ru'sS-lem. 

11  Go  forth,  0  ye  daughters 
of  Zl'on,  and  behold  king  S6To- 


day  of  his  espousals,  and  in  the 
day  of  the  gladness  of  his  heart 

CHAPTER  4 

Christ  sets  forth  the  gratia  cf  the 
church:  8  he  shews  hie  love,  to  her. 
16  She  prays  to  be  made  fit  for  hie 
presence. 

BEHOLD,  thou  art  fair,  my 
love ;  behold,  thou  art  fair ; 
thou  hast  doves'  eyes  within  thy 
locks:  thy  hair  is  as  a  flock  of 
goats,  that  appear  from  mount 
Gll'e-ad. 

2  Thy  teeth  are  like  a  flock 
of  sheep  that  are  even  shorn, 
which  came  up  from  the  wash- 
ing; whereof  every  one  bear 
twins,  and  none  is  barren 
among  them. 

3  Thy  lips  are  like  a  thread 
of  scarlet,  and  thy  speech  is 
comely :  thy  temples  are  like  a 
piece  of  a  pomegranate  within 
thy  locks. 

4  Thy  neck  is  like  the  tower 
of  David  builded  for  an  ar- 
moury, whereon  there  hang  a 
thousand  bucklers,  all  shields 
of  mighty  men. 

5  Thy  two  breasts  are  like 
two  young  roes  that  are  twins, 
which  feed  among  the  lilies. 

6  Until  the  day  break,  and  the 
shadows  flee  away,  I  will  get 
me  to  the  mountain  of  myrrh, 
and  to  the  hill  of  frankincense. 

7  Thou  art  all  fair,  my  love ; 
there  is  no  snot  in  thee. 

8  If  Come  with  me  from  LeVa- 
non,  my  spouse,  with  me  from 
LeVa-non:  look  from  the  top 
of  Am'a-na,  from  the  top  of 
ShS'nir  and  Hertnon,  from  the 
lions'  dens,  from  the  mountains 
of  the  leopards. 

9  Thou  hast  ravished  my  heart, 
my  sister,  my  spouse ;  thou  hast 
ravished  my  heart   with  one 

;vc 
of  thy  neck. 

10  How  fair  is  thy  love,  m 
sister,  my  spouse!  how  mud 
better  is  thy  love  than  wine! 
and  the  smell  of  thine  oint- 
ments than  all  spices! 

11  Thy  lips,  0  ray  spouse,  drop 
as  the  honeycomb:  noney  and 
milk  are  under  thy  tongue; 
and  the  smell  of  thy  garments 
is  like  the  smell  of  LeVa-non. 

12  A  garden  inclosed  is  my 
sister,  my  spouse ;  a  spring  shut 
up,  a  fountain  sealed. 

13  Thy  plants  are  an  orchard 
of  pomegranates,  with  pleasant 
fruits;  camphire,  with  spike- 
nard, 

14  Spikenard  and  saffron ;  cal- 
amus and  cinnamon,  with  all

Christ  awakes  the  church  with  his 

caUine.9Hetthebeloved\de*crihed. 

I  AM  come  into  my  garden, 
my  sister,  my  spouse :  I  have 
gathered  my  myrrh  with  my 
spice ;  I  have  eaten  my  honey- 
comb with  my  honey;  I  have 
drunk  my  wine  with  my  milk: 
eat,  0  f nends ;  drink,  yea,  drink 
abundantly,  0  beloved. 

2  If  I  sleep,  but  my  heart 
waketh :  U  is  the  voice  of  my 
beloved  that  knocketh,  saving, 
Open  to  me,  my  sister,  my  love, 
my  dove,  my  undefiled:  for  my 
head  is  filled  with  dew,  and  my 
locks  with  the  drops  of  the 
night 

3  I  have  put  off  my  coat ;  how 
shall  I  put  it  on  ?  I  have  washed 
my  feet;  how  shall  I  defile 
them? 

4  My  beloved  put  in  his  hand 
by  the  hole  of  the  door,  and 
mv  bowels  were  moved  for  him. 

5  I  rose  up  to  open  to  my  belov- 
ed ;  and  my  hands  dropped  with 
myrrh,  and  my  fingers  with 
sweet  smelling  myrrh,  upon  the 
handles  of  the  lock. 

6  I  opened  to  mv  beloved;  but 
my  beloved  had  withdrawn  him- 
self, and  was  gone:  my  soul 
failed  when  he  spake :  I  sought 
him,  but  I  could  not  find  him ; 
I  called  him,  but  he  gave  me  no 
answer. 

7  The  watchmen  that  went 
about  the  city  found  me,  they 
smote  me,  they  wounded  me; 
the  keepers  of  the  walls  took 
away  my  veil  from  me. 

8  I  charge  you,  O  daughters 
of  JS-ru'sii-lem,  if  ye  find  my  be- 
loved, that  ye  tefi  him,  that  I 
am  sick  of  love. 

9  IT  What  is  thy  beloved  more 
than  another  beloved,  0  thou 
fairest  among  women  ?  what  is 
thy  beloved  more  than  another 
beloved,  that  thou  dost  so 
charge  us? 

10  IT  Mv  beloved  is  white  and 
ruddy,  tne  chiefest  among  ten 
thousand. 

11  His  head  is  as  the  most 
fine  gold,  his  locks  are  bushy, 
and  black  as  a  raven. 


12  His  eyes  are  as  the  eyes 
of  doves  b v  the  rivers  of  waters, 
washed  with  milk,  and  fitly  set 

13  His  cheeks  are  as  a  bed  of 
spices,  as  sweet  flowers:  his 
lips  like  lilies,  dropping  sweet 
smelling  myrrh. 

14  His  hands  are  as  gold  rings 
set  with  the  beryl :  his  belly  xs 
as  bright  ivory  overlaid  with 
sapphires. 

15  His  legs  are  as  pillars  of 
marble,  set  upon  sockets  of  fine 
gold :  his  countenance  is  as  LeV- 
a-non, excellent  as  the  cedars. 

16  His  mouth  is  most  sweet: 
yea,  he  is  altogether  lovely. 
This  is  mv  beloved,  and  this  ta 
my  friend,  O  daughters  of  J5- 
ru'si-lem. 

CHAPTER  6 

2%e  church  profess**  her  fyith  in 
Christ.  4  He  shews  her  graces,  10 
and  his  love  toward  her, 

TtTHITHER  is  thy  beloved 
VV  gone,  O  thou  fairest 
among  women?  whither  is  thy 
beloved  turned  aside?  that  we 
may  seek  him  with  thee. 

2  IT  My  beloved  is  gone  down 
into  his  garden,  to  the  beds  of 
spices,  to  feed  in  the  gardens, 
and  to  gather  lilies. 

3  I  am  my  beloved's,  and  my 
beloved  is  mine:  he  feedeth 
among  the  lilies. 

4  IT  Thou  art  beautiful,  O  my 
love,  as  Tir'zah,  comely  as  JeV 
ru's&lem,  terrible  as  an  army 
with  banners. 

5  Turn  away  thine  eyes  from 
me,  for  they  have  overcome 
me:  thy  hair  is  as  a  flock  of 
goats  that  appear  from  Gil'e4UL 

6  Thy  teeth  are  as  a  flock  of 
sheep  which  go  up  from  the 
washing,  whereof  every  one 
beareth  twins,  and  there  is  not 
one  barren  among  them. 

7  As  a  piece  of  a  pomegran- 
ate are  thy  temples  within  thy 
locks. 

8  There  are  threescore  queens, 
and  fourscore  concubines,  and 
virgins  without  number. 

9  My  dove,  my  undefiled  is 
but  one;  she  is  the  only  one 
of  her  mother,  she  is  the  choice 
one  of  her  that  bare  her.  The 
daughters  saw  her,  and  blessed 
her;  yea,  the  queens  and  the 
concubines,  and  they  praised 
her. 

10  IT  Who  is  she  that  looketh 
forth  as  the  morning,  fair  as 
the  moon,  clear  as  the  sun,  and 
terrible  as  an  army  with  ban- 
ners? 

11  I  went  down  into,  the  gar- 
den of  nuts  to  see  the  fruits  of 
the  valley,  and  to  see  whether

HOW  beautiful  are.  thy  feet 
with  shoes,  ,0  prince's 
ughter!  the  joints  of  thy 
thighs  are  like  jewels*. the  work 
of  the  hands  of  a  cunning  work- 
man. . 

2  Thy  navel  is  like  a  round 
goblet  which  wanteth  not  liq- 
uor*: thy  belly  is  like  an  heap 
of  wheat  set  about  with  lilies, 

3  Thy  two  breasts,  are  like 
two  young  roes  that  are  twins. 

4  Thy  neck  is  as  a  tower  of 
ivory ; .  thine  eyes  like*  .the  fish- 
pool*  in  Hesh'bfiia,  hy  the  gate 
of  B&th-riUrtrim :  thy.  nose  is 
as  the  tower  of  LeVa-non  which 
lpoketh  toward  Da-mas'ctis. 

5  Thine  head  upon  thee  is 
like  Car/mel,  and  the. hair  of 
thine  'head  like  purple;  the 
king  is  held  in  the  galleries. 

6  How  fair  and, how  pleasant 
art  thou,  0  love,  for  delights  1 

7  This  thy  stature  is  Tike  to 
a  palm  tree,  and  thy  breasts  to

8  I  said,  I  will  go  up  to  the 
palm  tree,  I  will  take  hold  of 
the  boughs  thereof;  now  also 
thy  breasts  shall  be  as  clusters 
of.  the  vine,  and  the  -smell  of 
thy  nose  like  apples; 

9  And  the  roof  of  thy  mouth 
like  the  best  wine  for  my  be-

THAT  thou  wert  as  my 
brother,,  that  sucked  the 
breasts  j>f  my  mother!  when 
I  'should?  find  thee  without,  I 
would  kiss  thee;  yea,  I  should 
not  be  despised. 

2  I  would  lead  tfcee,  and  bring 
thee  into  my  mother's  house* 
who  would  instruct  me:  I  would 
cause  thee  to  drink  of  spiced 
wine  of  the  juice  of  my  pome- 
granate* '( ' 

3  His  left  hand  should  be  un- 
der my  head,  and  his  right  hand 
should  embrace  me. 

4  I  charge  you,  0

up;  nor,  awake  my 
he :  please. 

5  HWho.ta  this  .that  cometh 
up  from  the  wilderness,  leaning 
upon  her  beloved?  I  raised  thee 
up  under  the  apple  tree:  there 
thy  mother  brought  thee  forth 
there,  .she  brought  thee  forth 
that  bare  thee. 

6;  Set  me  as  a  seal  upon,  thine 
heart,  as  a  seal  upon  tnine  arm 
for  love  is  strong  as.  death ; 
jealpusy  is  cruel  as  the  grave 
the  coals  thereof  are  coals  of 
fii&nwhich  hath+SL  most  vehe- 
ment flame, 

7  Many  waters  cannot  quench 
love,  neither  can  the  floods 
drown  it:  if  a  man  would. give 
all  the  substance  of  his.  house 
for  love,  it  would  utterly,  be 
contemned. 

8  IT  We  have  a  little  sister,  and 
she  hath  no  breasts:  what  shall 
we  do  for  our  sister  in  the  day 
when  she  shall  be  spoken  for? 

9  If  she  be  a  wall,  we  will 
build,  upon  her  a  palace  of  sil- 
ver :  and  if  she  be  a  door,  we  will 
inclose  her  with  boards  of  cedar. 

10  I  am  a  wall,  and  my  breasts 
like  towers:  then  was  I  in  his 
eyes  as  one  that  found  favour. 

11  SdTo-mon  had  a  vineyard  at 
Ba'al-hfi'mon ;  he  let  out  the 
vineyard  unto  keepers;  every 
one  for  the  fruit  thereof  was  to 
bring  a  thousand  pieces  of  sil- 
ver. 

12  My    vineyard,    which    is 
mine,  %s  before  me :  thou,  O  Sol: 
o-mon,  must  have  a  thousand, 
and  those  that  keep  the  "fruit 
thereof  two  hundred:. 

13  Thou  that  dwdkst  in  the 
gardens,  the  companions  heark 
en. to  thy  voice:  cause  me  to

concerning  Jti'dah  and  JcVrg'saV

tham,  A-hiz,  and  H&*e-ki'ah, 
kings  of  Jfl'dah. 

2  f  Hear,  O  heavens,  and  give 
ear,  0  earth:  for  the  Lord  hath 
spoken,  I  have  nourished  and 
brought  np  children,  and  they 
have  rebelled  against  me. 

3  The  ox  knoweth  his  owner, 
and  the  ass  his  master's  crib: 
but  Ig'ra-el  doth  not  know,  my 
people  doth  not  consider. 

4  Ah  sinful  nation,  a  people 
laden  with  iniquity,  a  seed  of 
evildoers,  children  that  are  cor- 
rupters: they  have  forsaken 
the  Lord,  they  have  provoked 
the  Holy  One  of  Is/ra-el  unto 
anger,  they  are  gone  away 
hack  ward* 

5  Why  should  ye  be  stricken 
any  more?  ye  will  revolt  more 
and  more:  the  whole  head  is 
sick,  and  the  whole  heart  faint 

6  From  the  sole  of  the  foot 
even  unto  the  head  there  is  no 
soundness  in  it;  but  wounds, 
and  bruises,  and  putrifving 
sores:  they  have  not  been 
closed,  neither  hound  up,  nei- 
ther mollified  with  ointment 

7  Your   country   is  desolate, 
your  cities  are  burned  with  fire 
your  land,  strangers  devour  it 
in  your  presence,  and  it  is  deso- 
late, as  overthrown  by  strangers. 

8  And  the  daughter  of  Zf'5n 
is  left  as  a  cottage  in  a  vine- 
yard, as  a  lodge  in  a  garden  of 
cucumbers,  as  a  besieged  city. 

9  Except  the  Lord  of  hosts 
had  left  unto  us  a  very  small 
remnant,  we  should  have  been 
as  SBd'om,  and  we  should  have 
been  like  unto  G6-m5r/rah. 

10  If  Hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord,   ye   rulers   of   S5d'om; 

Ive  ear  unto  the  law  of  our 
e  people  of  GS-mdr'rah. 
o  what  purpose  is  the 
multitude  of  your  sacrifices  un- 
to me?  saith  the  Lord:  I  am 
full  of  the  burnt  offerings  of 
rams,  and  the  tat  of  fed  beasts ; 
and  I  delight  not  in  the  blood 


11  TV 


of  bullocks,  or  of  lambs,  or  of 
he  goats. 

12  When  ye  come  to  appear 
before  me,  who  hath  required 
this  at  your  hand,  to  tread  my 
courts? 

13  Bring  no  more  vain  obla- 
tions; incense  is  an  abomina- 
tion unto  me;  the  new  modns 
and  sabbaths,  the  calling  of  as- 
semblies, I  cannnot  away  with ; 
it  is  iniquity,  even  the  solemn 
meeting. 

14  Your  new  moons  and  your 
appointed  feasts  my  soul  hat- 
etn:  they  are  a  trouble  unto 
me ;  I  am  weary  to  bear  them, 

15  And  when  ye  spread  forth 
your  hands,  I  will  hide  mine 
eyes  from  you :  yea,  when  ye 
make  many  prayers,  I  will  not 
hear:  your  hands  are  full  of 
blood. 

16  Wash  you,  make  you 
clean;  put  away  the  evil  of 
your  doings  from  before  mine 
eyes;   cease  to  do  evil; 

17  Learn  to  do  well;  seek 
iudgment,relievethe  oppressed, 
radge  the  fatherless,  plead  for 
the  widow. 

18  IfCome  now,  and  let  us  rea- 
son together,  saith  the  Lord: 
though  your  sins  be  as  scarlet, 
they  shall  be  as  white  as  snow; 
though  they  be  red  like  crim- 
son, they  shall  be  as  wool. 

19  If  ye  be  willing  and  obedi- 
ent, ye  shall  eat  the  good  of 
the  land: 

20  But  if  ye  refuse  and  rebel, 
ye  shall  be  devoured  with  the 
sword:  for  the  mouth  of  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  it 

21  fHow  is  the  faithful  city 
become  an  harlot!  it  was  full 
of  judgment;  righteousness 
lodged  in  it;  but  now  mur- 
derers. 

22  Thy  silver  is  become  dross, 
thy  wine  mixed  with  water : 

23  Thy  princes  are  rebellious, 
and  companions  of  thieves: 
every  one  loveth  gifts,  and  fol- 
loweth  after  rewards:  they 
judge  not  the  fatherless,  nei- 
ther doth  the  cause  of  the 
widow  come  unto  them. 

24  Therefore  saith  the  Lord, 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  mighty 
One  of  lafra-el,  Ah,  I  will  ease 
me  of  mine  adversaries,  and 
avenge  me  of  mine  enemies:

25  And  I  will  turn  my  hand 
upon  thee,  and  purely  purge 
away  thy  dross,  and  take  away 
all  thy  tin: 

26  And  I  will  restore  thy 
judges  as  at  the  first,  and  thy 
counsellors  as  at  the  begin 
ning:  afterward  thou  shalt  be 
called,  The  city  of  righteous- 
ness, the  faithful  city. 

27  Zi'6n  shall  be  redeemed 
with  judgment,  and  her  con- 
verts with  righteousness. 

28  And  the  destruction  of 
the  transgressors  and  of  the 
sinners  shall  be  together,  and 
they  that  forsake  the  Lord 
shall  be  consumed. 

29  For  they  shall  be  ashamed 
of  the  oaks  which  ye  have  de- 
sired, and  ye  shall  be  confound- 
ed for  the  gardens  that  ye  have 
chosen. 

30  For  ye  shall  be  as  an  oak 
whose  leaf  f  adeth,  and  as  a  gar* 
den  that  hath  no  water. 

31  And  the  strong  shall  be 
as  tow,  and  the  maker  of  it  as

burn  together,  and  none  shall 
quench  them.  

CHAPTER  2 

Isaiah  prophesies  of  Christ* a  king- 
dom. 6  Wickedness  the  cause  o/ 
God's  forsaking  his  people.  10  The 
prophet  forsworns  them  of  the  ter- 
rible day  of  the  Lord. 
THE  word  that  I-fiftlah  the 
son  of  A'm&z  saw  concern- 
ing Jft'dah  and  J&ru'sa'-lgm. 

2  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
the  last  days,  that  the  moun- 
tain of  the  Lord's  house  shall 
be  established  in  the  top  of  the 
mountains,  and  shall  be  exalted 
above  the  hills;  and  all  nations 
shall  flow  unto  it 

3  And  many  people  shall  go 
and  say,  Come  ye,  and  let  us 
go  up  to  the  mountain  of  the 
Lord,  to  the  house  of  the  God 
of  Jfi'cob ;  and  he  will  teach  us 
of  his  wavs,  and  we  will  walk 
in  his  paths:  for  out  of  Zfdn 
shall  go  forth  the  law,  and  the 
word  of  the  Lord  from  Je-ru'- 
sS-lSm. 

4  And  he  shall  judge  among 
the  nations,  and  shall  rebuke 
many  people:  and  they  shall 
beat  their  swords  into  plow- 
shares, and  their  spears  into 
pruninghooks :  nation  shall 
not  lift  up  sword  against  na- 
tion, neither  shall  they  learn 
war  any  more.  ' 

5  HO  house  of  Ja'cob,  come 
ye,  and  let  us  walk  in  the  light 
of  the  Lord. 

6  Therefore  thou  hast  for- 
saken thy  people  the  house  of 
Jfi'cob,  because  they  be  replen- 


ished from  the  east,  and  are 
soothsayers  like  the  Phi-uY- 
tines,  and  they  please  them- 
selves in  the  children  of  stran- 
gers. 

7  Their  land  also  is  full  of 
silver  and  gold,  neither  is  there 
any  end  of  their  treasures; 
their  land  is  also  full  of  horses, 
neither  is  their  any  end  of 
their  chariots: 

8  Their  land  also  is  full  of 
idols;  they  worship  the  work 
of  their  own  hands,  that  which 
their  own  fingers  have  made : 

9  And  the  mean  man  boweth 
down,  and  the  great  man  hum- 
bleth  himself:  therefore  for- 
give them  not 

10  IT  Enter  into  the  rock,  and 
hide  thee  in  the  dust,  for  fear 
of  the  Lord,  and  for  the  glory 
of  his  majesty. 

11  The  lofty  looks  of  mi 
shall  be  humbled,  and  the 
haughtiness  of  men  shall  be 
bowed  down,  and  the  Lord 
alone  shall  be  exalted  in  that 
day. 

12  For  the  day  of  the  Lord  of 
hosts  shall  be  upon  every  one 
that  is  proud  and  lofty,  and  up- 
on every  one  that  is  lifted  up; 
and  he  shall  be  brought  low : 

13  And  upon  all  the  cedars 
of  LSb'a-non,  that  are  high  and 
lifted  up,  and  upon  all  the  oaks 
ofBTshan, 

14  And  upon  all  the  high 
mountains,  and  upon  all  the 
hills  that  are  lifted  up, 

15  And  upon  every  high 
tower,  and  upon  every  fenced 
wall, 

16  And  upon  all  the  ships  of 
TaVshish,  and  upon  all  pleasant 
pictures. 

17  And  the  loftiness  of  man 
shall  be  bowed  down,  and  the 
haughtiness  of  men  shall  be 
made  low :  and  the  Lord  alone 
shall  be  exalted  in  that  day. 

18  And  the  idols  he  shall 
utterly  abolish. 

19  And  they  shall  go  into  the 
holes  of  the  rocks,  and  into  the 
caves  of  the  earth,  for  fear  of 
the  Lord,  and  for  the  glory  of 
his  majesty,  when  he  ariseth  to 
shake  terribly  tip  earth. 

20  In  that  day  a  man  shall 
cast  his  idols  of  silver,  and  his 
idols  of  gold,  which  they  made 
each  one  for  himself  to  worship, 
to  the  moles  and  to  the  bats ; 

21  To  go  into  the  clefts  of 
the  rocks,  and  into  the  tops  of 
the  ragged  rocks,  for  fear  of  the 
Lord,  and  for  the  glory  of  his 
majesty,  when  he  ariseth  to 
shake  terribly  the  earth.

away  from  J&ro'sS-leni  and  from 
Ju'dah  the  stay  and  the  staff, 
the  whole  stay  of  bread,  and 
the  whole  stay  of  water, 

2  The  mighty  man,  and  the 
man  of  war,  the  judge,  and  the!

the  ancient, 

3  The  captain,  of  fifty,  and 
the  honourable  man,  and  the 
counsellor,  and  the  cunning  ar- 
tificer, and  the  eloquent  orator. 

4  And' I  will  give  dhfldrtn  to 
be  th,eir  princes,  and  babies  shall 
rule  over  them. 

5  And  the  people  shall  be  op- 
pressed, every  one  by  another, 
and  every  one  by  his  neighbour :' 
the  child  shall  behave  himself 
proudly  against  the  ancient,  and 
the  base  against  the  honourable.' 

6  When. a  man  shall  take  hpld 
of  his  brother  of  the  house  of 
his  father,  saying,  Thou  hast 
clothing,  be  thou  our  ruler,  and 
letfhis  ruin  be  under  thy  hand : 

7  In  that  day  shall  he  swear, 
saying,  I  will  not  be  an  healer; 
for  in  my  house  is  neither  bread 
nor  clothing :  make  me  not  a 
ruler  of  the  people. 

8  For  Je^ry's5-lem  is  ruined, 
and  Ju'dah  is  fallen:  because 
their  tongue  and  their  doings 
are  against  the  Lord,  to  pro- 
voke the  eyes  of  his  glory. 

9  The  shew  of  then*  coun-

sin  as  SSd'om,  they  hide  %t  not. 
Woe  unto  their  soul!  for, they 
have  rewarded  evil  unto  thejn-

10  Say;  ye  to  the  righteous, 
that  it  shall  be  well  with  him : 
for  thev  shall  eat  the  fruit  of 
their  doings. 

11  Woe  unto  the^  wicked !  it 
shall  be  ill  voiHk  him :  for  the 
reward  of  his  hands  shall  be 
given  him. 

12  As  for  my  people',  children 
are  their  oppressors,  'and  Women 
rule  over  them.;  0  my  people, 
they  which  lead  thee  cause  thee 
to  err,  and  destroy  the  way  of 
thy  paths. 

13  T  The  Lord  standeth  up  to 
plead,  and  standetH  to  judge  the 
people. 


14  The  Lord  will  enter  into 
judgment  with/ the  ancients  of 
his  people,1  and  the  princes 
thereof :  for  ye  have  eaten  up 
the  vmeyartl ;  the  sjpofl  Of  the 
poor  ts  in;  your  houses.  , 

15  What'  niean  ye  that  ye 
beat  my  people  to  pieces;  and 
grind  the  faces  of  the  poor? 
saith  the  Lord  GOD  of  hosts. 

16  IT  Moreover  the  L6RD  saith, 
Because  the  daughters  of  Zl'on 
are  haughty,  and  walk  with 
stretched  forth  necks  and  wan- 
tori  eyes,  walking  and  mincing 
ds  they  go,  rind  making  a  tink- 
ling with  their  feet: 

17  Therefore  the  Lord  will 
smite  with  a  scab  the  Jcrown  of 
the  head  of  the  daughters  of 
Zilm,  and  the  Lord  will  dis- 
cover their  secret  parts. 

18  In  that  day  the  Lord  will 
take  away  the  bravery  of  their 
tinkling  ornaments  aiout, their 
feet,.  And  their  cauls,  arid,  their 
round  tires  like  the  moon/    ' '

23  The  glasses,  and  the  fine 
linen,  arid  the  hoods,  and  the

24  And  it  shall  come  to  pass. 
that  instead  of  sweet  smell 
there  shall  be  stink;  and  in-

3  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  he  that  w  left  in  Zi'On, 
and  he  that  remaineth  in  J4V 
ru/sa-lem,  shall  be  called  holy, 
even  every  one  that  is  written 
among  the  living  in  JS-ru/sfi- 
l*m: 

4  When  the  Lord  shall  have 
washed  away  the  filth  of  the 
daughters  of  Zi'Bn,  and  shall 
have  purged  the  blood  of  J€- 
ru's&l&n  from  the  midst  there- 
of by  the  spirit  of  judgment 
and  by  the  spirit  of  burning. 

5  And  the  Lord  will  create 
upon  every  dwelling  place  of 
mount  Zi'dn,  and  upon  her  as- 
semblies, a  cloud  and  smoke  by 
day,  and  the  shining  of  a  flam- 
ing fire  by  night:  *or  upon  all 
the  glory  shall  be  a  defence. 

6  And  there  shall  be  a  taber- 
nacle for  a  shadow  in  the  day- 
time from  the  heat,  and  for  a 
place  of  refuge,  and  for  a  covert 
from  storm  and  from  rain. 

CHAPTER  5 

God  excuses  his  sever*  judgments:  8 
his  judgment*  upon  covetousnses, 
11  laeoiviousnese,  18  and  impiety. 

NOW  will  I  sing  to  my  well- 
beloved  a  song  of  my  be- 
loved touching  his  vineyard. 
My  wellbeldved  hath  a  vine- 
yard in  a  very  fruitful  hill : 

2  And  he  fenced  it,  and 
gathered  out  the  stones  there- 
of, and  planted  it  with  the 
choicest  vine,  and  built  a  tower 
in  the  midst  of  it,  and  also 
made  a  winepress  therein :  and 
he  looked  that  it  should  bring 
forth  grapes,  and  it  brought 
forth  wild  grapes. 

3  And  now,  0  inhabitants  of 
J5-ru'sa-letn,  and  men  of  Ju'dah, 
judge,  I  pray  you,  betwixt  me 
and  my  vineyard. 

4  What  could  have  been  done 
more  to  my  vineyard,  that  I 
have  not  done  in  it?  wherefore, 
when  I  looked  that  it  should 
bring  forth  grapes,  brought  it 
forth  wild  grapes? 

5  And  now  go  to;  I  will  tell 
you  what  I  will  do  to  my  vine- 
yard: I  will  take  away  the 
hedge  thereof,  and  it  shall  be 
eaten  up;  and  break  down  the 
wall  thereof,  and  it  shall  be 
trodden  down: 

6  And  I  will  lay  it  waste:  it 
shall  not  be  pruned,  nor  digged ; 
but  there  shall  come  up  briers 
and  thorns:  I  will  also  com- 
mand the  clouds  that  they  rain 
no  rain  upon  it 

7  For  the  vineyard  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts  is  the  house  of 
Is/ra-el,  and  the  men  of  Ju'dah 


his  pleasant  plant:  and  he 
looked  for  judgment,  but  be- 
hold oppression;  for  righteous- 
ness, but  behold  a  cry. 

8  IT  Woe  unto  them  that  join 
house  to  house,  that  lay  field 
to  field,  till  there  be  no  place, 
that  they  may  be  placed  alone 
in  the  midst  of  the  earth  I 

9  In  mine  ears  said  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  Of  a  truth  many 
houses  shall  be  desolate,  even 
great  and  fair,  without  inhab- 
itant 

10  Yea,  ten  acres  of  vineyard 
shall  yield  one  bath,  and  the 
seed  of  an  homer  shall  yield  an 
ephah. 

11  IT  Woe  unto  them  that  rise 
up  early  in  the  morning,  that 
they  may  follow  strong  drink; 
that  continue  until  night  till 
wine  inflame  them  I 

12  And  the  harp,  and  the  viol, 
the  tabret,  and  pipe,  and  wine, 
are  in  their  feasts :  but  they  re- 
gard not  the  work  of  the  Lord, 
neither  consider  the  operation 
of  his  hands. 

13  Therefore  my  people  are 
gone  into  captivity,  because 
they  have  no  Knowledge:  and 
their  honourable  men  are  fam- 
ished, and  their  multitude  dried 
up  with  thirst 

14  Therefore  hell  hath  en- 
larged herself,  and  opened  her 
mouth  without  measure:  and 
their  glory,  and  their  multi- 
tude, and  their  pomp,  and  he 
that  rejoiceth,  shall  descend  in- 
to it 

15  And  the  mean  man  shall  be 
brought  down,  and  the  mighty 
man  shall  be  humbled,  and  the 
eyes  of  the  lofty  shall  be  hum- 
bled: 

16  But  the  Lord  of  hosts  shall 
be  exalted  in  judgment  and 
God  that  is  holy  shall  be  sanc- 
tified in  righteousness. 

17  Then  shall  the  lambs  feed 
after  their  manner,  and  the 
waste  places  of  the  fat  ones 
shall  strangers  eat 

18  ITWoe  unto  them  that  draw 
iniquity  with  cords  of  vanity, 
and  sin  as  it  were  with  a  cart 
rope: 

19  That  say,  Let  him  make 
speed,  and  hasten  his  work, 
that  we  may  see  it:  and  let 
the  counsel  of  the  Holy  One 
of  Is/ra-el  draw  nigh  and  come, 
that  we  may  know  it ! 

20  Woe  unto  them  that  call 
evil  good,  and  good  evil;  that 
put  darkness  for  light  and  light 
for  darkness ;  that  put  bitter  for 
sweet  and  sweet  for  bitter! 

21  Woe  unto  them  that  are

wise  in  their  own  eyes,  and  pru- 
dent in  their  own  sight! 

22  Woe  unto  them  that  are 
mighty  to  drink  wine,  and  men 
of  strength  to  mingle  strong 
drink: 

23  Which  justify  the  wicked 
for  reward,  and  take  away  the 
righteousness  of  the  righteous 
from  him ! 

24  Therefore  as  the  fire  de> 
voureth  the  stubble,  and  the 
flame  consumeth  the  chaff,  so 
their  root  shall  be  as  rotten- 
ness, and  their  blossom  shall 
go  up  as  dust:  because  they 
have  cast  away  the  law  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  and  despised  the 
word  of  the  Holy  One  of  Is/ra-el. 

25  Therefore  is  the-  anger  of 
the  Lord  kindled  against  his 
people,  and.  he  hath  stretched 
forth  his  hand  against  them, 
and  hath  smitten  them:  and 
the  hills  did  tremble,  and  their 
carcases  were  torn  in  the  midst 
of  the  streets.  For  all  this  his 
anger  is  not  turned  away,  but 
his  hand  is  stretched  out  still. 

26  IFAnd  he  will  lift  up  an  en- 
sign to  the  nations  from  far, 
and  will  hiss  unto  them  from  the 
end  of  the  earth:  and,  behold, 
they  shall  come  with  speed 
swiftly : 

27  None  shall  be  weary  nor 
stumble  among  them;  none 
shall  slumber  nor  sleep;  nei- 
ther shall  the  girdle  of  their 
loins  be  loosed,  nor  the  latchet 
of  their  shoes  be  broken : 

28  Whose  arrows  are  sharp, 
and  all  their  bows  bent,  their 
horses'  hoofs  shall  be  counted 
like  flint,  and  their  wheels  like 
a  whirlwind: 

29  Their  roaring  shall  be  like 
a  lion,  they  shall  roar  like  young 
lions :  yea,  they  shall  roar,  and 
lay  hold  of  the  prey,  and  shall 
carry  it  away  safe,  and  none 
shall  deliver  it. 

30  And  in  that  day  they 
shall  roar  against  them  like  the 
roaring  of  the  sea:  and  if  one 
look  unto  the  land,  behold  dark- 
ness and  sorrow,  and  the  light 
is  darkened  in  the  heavens 
thereof. 

CHAPTER  6 

Isaiah's  vision  of  the  Lord**  glory. 
13  A  remnant  of  Israel  shall  Be 
saved. 

IN  the  year  that  king  ftz-zi'ah 
died  I  saw  also  the  Lord  sit- 
ting upon  a  throne,  high  and 
lifted  up,  and  his  train  filled 
the  temple. 

2  Above  it  stood  the  sera- 
phims :  each  one  had  six  wings ; 
with  twain  he  covered  his  face, 


and  with  twain  he  covered  his 
feet,  and  with  twain  he  did  fly. 

3  And  one  cried  unto  another, 
and  said,  Holy,  holy,  holy,  is  the 
Lord  of  hosts :  the  whole  earth 
is  full  of  his  glory. 

4  And  the  posts  of  the  door 
moved  at  the  voice  of  him  that 
cried,  and  the  house  was  filled 
with  smoke. 

5  Then  said  I,  Woe  is  mel 
for  I  am  undone ;  because  I  am 
a  man  of  unclean  lips,  and  I 
dwell  in  the  midst  of  a  people 
of  unclean  lips :  for  mine  eyes 
have  seen  the  King,  the  Lord 
of  hosts. 

6  Then  flew  one  of  the  sera- 
phims  unto  me,  having  a  live 
coal  in  his  hand,  which  he  had 
taken  with  the  tongs  from  off 
the  altar: 

7  And  he  laid  it  upon  my 
mouth,  and  said,  Lo,  this  hath 
touched  thy  lips ;  and  thine  in- 
iquity is  taken  away,  and  thy 
sin  purged. 

8  Also  I  heard  the  voice  of 
the  Lord,  saying.  Whom  shall  I 
send,  and  who  will  go  for  us? 
Then  said  I,  Here  am  I;  send 
me. 

9  And  he  said,  Go,  and  tell 
this  people,  Hear  ye  indeed,  but 
understand  not;  and  see  ye  in- 
deed, but  perceive  not 

10  Make  the  heart  of  this  peo- 

Ele  fat,  and  make  their  ears 
eavy,  and  shut  their  eyes;  lest 
they  see  with  their  eyes,  and 
hear  with  their  ears,  and  under- 
stand with  their  heart,  and  con- 
vert, and  be  healed. 

11  Then  said  I,  Lord,  how 
long?  And  he  answered.  Until 
the  cities  be  wasted  without  in- 
habitant, and  the  houses  with- 
out man,  and  the  land  be  ut- 
terly desolate, 

12  And  the  Lord  have  re- 
moved men  far  away,  and  there 
be  a  great  forsaking  in  the 
midst  of  the  land. 

13  But  yet  in  it  shall  be  a 
tenth,  and  it  shall  return,  and 
shall  be  eaten:  as  a  teil  tree, 
and  as  an  oak,  whose  substance 
is  in  them,  when  they  cast  their 
leaves :  so  the  holy  seed  shall 
be  the  substance  thereof.

son  of  RSnva-li'ah,  king  of  Is/- 
ra-el,  went  up  toward  Jfc-ni'sfi- 
15m  to  war  against  it,  but  could 
not  prevail  against  it 

2  And  it  was  told  the  house  of 
Da'vid,  saying,  Syrt-a  is  con- 
federate with  ffphrfi-Im.  And 
his  heart  was  moved,  and  the 
heart  of  his  people,  as  the  trees 
of  the  wood  are  moved  with  the 
wind. 

3  Then  said  the  Lord  unto 
I-sfi'iah,  Go  forth  now  to  meet 
Alia*,  thou,  and  She'ar-j&'shub 
thy  son,  at  the  end  of  the  con- 
duit of  the  upper  pool  in  the 
highway  of  the  fuller's  field ; 

4  And  say  unto  him,  Take 
heed,  and  he  quiet;  fear  not, 
neither  he  fainthearted  for  the 
two' tails  of  these  smoking  fire- 
brands, for  the  fierce  anger  of 
Rg'zin  with  SfrK-a,  and  of  the 
son  of  Rem-a-lf ah. 

5  Because  Sj?rf-a,  E*phrft-Im, 
and  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah,  have 
taken  evil  counsel  against  thee, 
saying, 

6  Let  us  go  up  against  Ju'dah, 
and  vex  it,  and  let  us  make  a 
breach  therein  for  us,  and  set  a 
king  in  the  midst  of  it,  even  the 
son  of  TS'be-al: 

7  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  It 
shall  not  stand,  neither  shall  it 
come  to  pass. 

8  For  the  head  of  SyrK-4  is 
Da-mas'cus,  and  the  head  of 
DS-maYcus  is  RS'zin ;  and  with- 
in threescore  and  five  years 
shall  E'phrfi-Im  be  broken,  that 
it  be  not  a  people. 

9  And  the  head  of  £'phr&-Im 
is  S£-m£'ri-a,  and  the  head  of 
Sa-m9'ri-&  is  Rem-a-fi'ah's  son, 
If  ye  will  not  believe,  surely  ye 
shall  not  be  established. 

10  IfMoreover  the  Lord  spake 
again  unto  Alias,  saying, 

11  Ask  thee  a  sign  of  the  Lord 
thy  God;  ask  it  either  in  the 
depth,  or  in  the  height  above. 

12  But  A'haz  said,  I  will  not 
ask,  neither  will  I  tempt  the 
Lord. 

13  And  he  said,  Hear  ye  now, 
O  house  of  Da'vid ;  Is  it  a  small 
thing  for  you  to  weary  men, 
but  will  ye  weary  my  God  also? 

14  Therefore  the  Lord  him- 
self shall  give  you  a  sign ;  Be- 
hold, a  virgin  shall  conceive, 
and  bear  a  son,  and  shall  call 
his  name  Im-m&n'u-el. 

15  Butter  and  honey  shall  he 
eat,  that  he  may  know  to  re- 
fuse the  evil,  and  choose  the 
good. 

16*  For  before  the  child  shall 
know  to  refuse  the  evil,  and 
choose  the  good,  the  land  that 


thou  abhorrest  shall  be  forsaken 
of  both  her  kings. 

17  IFThe  Lord  shall  bring  up- 
on thee,  and  upon  thy  people, 
and  upon  thy  father's  house, 
days  that  have  not  come,  from 
the  day  that  E'phrft-Im  departed 
from  Ju'dah ;  even  the  king  of 
As-syrl-a. 

18  And  it  shall  come  to  pass 
in  that  day,  that  the  Lord  snail 
hiss  for  the  fly  that  is  in  the 
uttermost  part  of  the  rivers  of 
E"feypt,  and  for  the  bee  that  is 
in  the  land  of  Asrsjrr'i-a. 

19  And  they  shall  come,  and 
shall  rest  all  of  them  in  the 
desolate  valleys,  and  in  the 
holes  of  the  rocks,  and  upon  all 
thorns,  and  upon  all  bushes. 

20  In  the  same  day  shall  the 
Lord  shave  with  a  razor  that 
is  hired,  namely,  by  them  be- 
yond the  river,  by  the  king  of 
As-ajhrl-a,  the  head,  and  the  hair 
of  the  feet:  and  it  shall  also 
consume  the  beard. 

21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass 
in  that  day,  that  a  man  shall 
nourish  a  young  cow,  and  two 
sheep; 

22  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
for  the  abundance  of  milk  that 
they  shall  give  he  shall  eat  but- 
ter: for  butter  and  honey  shall 
every  one  eat  that  is  left  in  the 
land. 

23  And  it  shall  come  to  pass 
in  that  day,  that  every  place 
shall  be,  where  there  were  a 
thousand  vines  at  a  thousand 
silverlings,  if  shall  even  be  for 
briers  and  thorns. 

24  With  arrows  and  with 
bows  shall  men  come  thither ; 
because  all  the  land  shall  be- 
come briers  and  thorns. 

25  And  on  all  hills  that  shall 
be  digged  with  the  mattock, 
there  shall  not  come  thither  the 
fear  of  briers  and  thorns :  but  it 
shall  be  for  the  sending  forth  of 
oxen,  and  for  the  treading  of 
lesser  cattle.

bare  a  son.  Then  said  the  Lord 
to  me,  Call  his  name  Mfi'her- 
shai'al-hash'-bftz. 

4  For  before  the  child  shall 
have  knowledge  to  cry.  My 
father,  and  my  mother,  the 
riches  of  D&»mas'cus  and  the 
spoil  of  S£-mfi'rI-a  shall  be  taken 
away  before  the  king  of  As* 
syrl-a. 

5  UThe  Lord  spake  also  unto 
me  again,  saying, 

6  Forasmuch  as  this  people 
refuseth  the  waters  of  Shi-15  ah 
that  go  softly,  and  rejoice  in 
Rg'zin  and  Reni-a-li'ah's  son ; 

7  Now  therefore,  behold,  the 
Lord  bringeth  up  upon  them 
the  waters  of  the  river,  strong 
and  many,  even  the  king  of  " 
syrf-A,  and  all  his  glory:  and 
he  shall  come  up  over  all  his 
channels,  and  go  over  all  his 
banks: 

8  And  he  shall  pass  through 
Ju'dah;  he  shall  overflow  and  go 
over,  he  shall  reach  even  to  the 
neck ;  and  the  stretching  out  of 
his  wings  shall  fill  the  breadth 
of  thy  land,  0  InwnSn'u-eL 

9  ^Associate  yourselves,  O  ye 
people,  and  ye  shall  be  broken  in 
pieces;  and  give  ear,  all  ye  of 
far  countries:  gird  yourselves, 
and  ye  shall  be  broken  in  pieces; 
gird  yourselves,  and  ye  snail  be 
broken  in  pieces. 

10  Take  counsel  together,  and 
it  shall  come  to  nought ;  speak 
the  word,  and  it  shall  not  stand : 
for  God  is  with  us. 

11  For  the  Lord  spake  thus 
to  me  with  a  strong  hand,  and 
instructed  me  that  I  should  not 
walk  in  the  way  of  this  people, 
saying, 

12  Say  ye  not,  A  confederacy, 
to  all  them  to  whom  this  people 
shall  say,  A  confederacy;  nei- 
ther fear  ye  their  fear,  nor  be 
afraid. 

13  Sanctify  the  Lord  of  hosts 
himself;  and  let  him  be  your 
fear,  and  let  him  be  your  dread. 

14  And  he  shall  be  for  a  sanc- 
tuary; but  for  a  stone  of  stum- 
bling and  for  a  rock  of  offence 
to  both  the  houses  of  ls/ra-el,  for 
a  gin  and  for  a  snare  to  the  in- 
habitants of  JS-ru'sft-lem, 

15  And  many  among  them 
shall  stumble,  and  fall,  and  be 
broken,  and  be  snared,  and  be 
taken. 

16  Bind  up  the  testimony,  seal 
the  law  amon$  my  disciples. 

17  And  I  will  wait  upon  the 
Lord,  that  hideth  his  face  from 
the  house  of  Jfi'cob,  and  I  will 
look  for  him. 

18  Behold,  I  and  the  children 


whom  the  Lord  hath  given  me 
are  for  signs  and  for  wonders  in 
Ig'ra-el  from  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
which  dwelleth  in  mount  Zi'dn. 

19  And  when  they  shall  say 
unto  you,  Seek  unto  them  that 
have  familiar  spirits,  and  unto 
wizards  that  peep,  and  that  mut- 
ter: should  not  a  people  seek 
unto  their  God  ?  for  toe  living 
to  the  dead? 

20  To  the  law  and  to  the 
testimony:  if  they  speak  not 
according  to  this  word,  it  is 
because  there  is  no  light  in 
them, 

21  And  they  shall  pass  through 
it,  hardly  bestead  and  hungry : 

w  and  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 

Ask  when  they  shall  be  hungry,  they 

'  shall  fret  themselves,  and  curse 

their  king  and  their  God,  and 

look  upward. 

22  And  they  shall  look  unto 
the  earth;  and  behold  trouble 
and  darkness,  dimness  of  an- 
guish; and  they  shall  be  driven 
to  darkness. 

CHAPTER  9 

What  joy  shall  be  in  the  midst  of 
affliction*  by  the  birth  and  king- 
dom of  Christ.  8  Judgments  upon 
Israel  for  their  pride,  13  hypoc- 
risy, 18  and  their  impeniteney. 

NEVERTHELESS  the  dim- 
ness shall  not  be  such  as 
was  in  her  vexation,  when  at 
the  first  he  lightly  afflicted  the 
land  of  ZeVu-lfin  and  the  land 
of  N&ph'ta-li,  and  afterward 
did  more  grievously  afflict  her 
by  the  way  of  the  sea,  beyond 
Jdr'dan,  in  GaTMee  of  the  na- 
tions* 

2  The  people  that  walked  in 
darkness  have  seen  a  great 
light:  they  that  dwell  in  the 
land  of  the  shadow  of  death, 
upon  them  hath  the  light 
shined. 

3  Thou  hast  multiplied  the 
nation,  and  not  increased  the 
joy:  they  joy  before  thee  ac- 
cording to  the  joy  in  harvest, 
and  as  men  rejoice  when  they 
divide  the  spoil 

4  For  thou  hast  broken  the 
yoke  of  his  burden,  and  the 
staff  of  his  shoulder,  the  rod 
of  his  oppressor,  as  in  the  day 
of  MIdl-an. 

5  For  every  battle  of  the 
warrior  is  with  contused  noise, 
and  garments  rolled  in  blood ; 
but  this  shall  be  with  burn- 
ing and  fuel  of  fire. 

6  For  unto  us  a  child  is  born, 
unto  us  a  son  is  given:  and 
the  government  shall  be  upon 
his  shoulder:  and  his  name 
shall     be     called    Wonderful,

7  Of  the  increase  of  his

shall  be  no  end,  upon  the 
throne  of  Dfi'vid,  and  upon  his 
kingdom,  to  order  it,  and  to

people  cause  them  to  err;  and 
they  that  are  led  of  them  are 
destroyed. 

17  Therefore  tb$  Lord  shall 
have  no  joy  in  their  young 
men,  neither  shall  have  mercy 
on  their  fatherless  and  widows: 
for  every  one  is  an  hypocrite 
and  an  evildoer,  and  every 
mouth  speaketh  folly.  Fox  all 
this  his  anger  is  not  turned 
away,  but  his  hand  is  stretched 
out  still 

13  IF  For  wickedness  buroeth 
as  the  fire :  it  shall  devour  the 
briers  and  thorns,  and  shall 
kindle  in  the  thickets  of  the 
forest,  and  they  shall  mount  up 
like  the  lifting  up  of  smoke. 

19  Through  the  wrath  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts  is  the  land  dark- 
ened, and  the  people  shall  be 


as  the  fuel  of  the  fire :  no  man 
shall  spare  his  brother. 

20  And  he  shall  snatch  on 
the  right  hand,  and  be  hungry ; 
and  he  shall  eat  on  the  left 
hand,  and  they  shall  not  be 
satisfied;  they  shall  eat  every 
man  the  flesh  of  his  own  arm : 

21  Ma'-nas'seh,  E'phrfi-im ;  and 
r^phr&-Im,M&-nayseh;  and  they 
together  shall  be  against  Ju'- 
dah.  For  all  this  his  anger  is 
not  turned  away,  but  his  hand

away  the,  right  from  the  poor

may  rob  the  fatherless  I 

3  And  what  will  ye  do  in  the 
day  of  visitation,  and  in  the 
desolation  which  shall  come 
from  far?  to  whom  will  ye  flee 
for  help?  and  where  will,  ye, 
leave  your  glory? 

4  Without  me  (hey  shall  bow 
down  under  the  prisoners,  and 
they  shall  fall  under  the  slain. 
For  all  this  his  anger  is  not 
turned  away,  but  his  hand  is 
stretched  out  stilL 

5  TO  As-syrl^n,  the  rod  of 
mine  anger,  and  the  staff  in 
their  hand  is  mine  indignation. 

6  I  will  send  him  against  an 
hypocritical  nation,  and  against 
the  people  of  my  wrath  will  I 
give  him  a  charge,  to  take  the 
spoil,  and  to  take  the  prey,  and 
to  tread  them  down  like  the 
mire  of  the  streets. 

7  Hpwbeit  he  meaneth  not  so, 
neither  doth  his  heart  think  so ; 
but  it  is  In  his  heart  to  destroy 
and  cut  off  nations  not  a  fewT 

8  For  he  saith,  Are  not  my 
princes  altogether  kings? 

9  Is  not  Cal'nS  as  CaVche- 
mlsh  ?  is  not  Ha'math  as  Ar*pad? 
is  not  $a-m&'ri-a  as  Da-mas'cus  ? 

10  As  my  hand  hath  found 
the  kingdoms  of  the  idols,  and 
whose  graven  images  did  exxel 
them  of  Je^ru'sS-lSm  and  of  S&- 
mfi'ri-a; 

11  Shall  I  not,  as  I  have  done 
unto  Sa-ma  ri-a  and  her  idols, 
so  do  to  j£-rg'sa-lem  and  her 
idols? 

12  Wherefore  it,  shall  come,  to 
pass,  that  when  the  Lord  hath;

performed  his  whole  work  up-

l&n,  I  will  punish  the  fruit  of 
the  stout  heart  of  the  king  of 
As-syrl-a,  and  the  glory  of  his 
high  looks. 

13  For  he  saith,  By  the 
strength  of  my  hand  I  have 
done  it,  and  by  my  wisdom ;  for 
I  am  prudent:  and  I  have  re- 
moved the  bounds  of  the  people, 
and  have  robbed  their  treasures, 
and  I  have  put  down  the  in- 
habitants like  a  valiant  man  : 

14  And  my  hand  hath  found 
as  a  nest  the  riches  of  the  peo- 
ple :  and  as  one  gathereth  eggs 
that  are  left,  have  I  gathered 
all  the  earth;  and  there  was 
none  that  moved  the  wing,  or 
opened  the  mouth,  or  peeped. 

15  Shall  the  ax  boast  itself 
against  him  that  heweth  there- 
with? or  shall  the  saw  magnify 
itself  against  him  that  shaketn 
it?  as  if  the  rod  should  shake 
if&elf  against  them  that  lift  it 
up,  or  as  if  the  staff  should  lift 
up  itself,  as  if  it  were  no  wood. 

16  Therefore  shall  the  Lord, 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  send  among 
his  fat  ones  leanness;  and 
under  his  glory  he  shall  kindle 
a  burning  Tike  the  burning  of  a 
fire. 

17  And  the  light  of  Is/ra-el 
shall  be  for  a  fire,  and  his  Holy 
One  for  a  flame:  and  it  shall 
burn  and  devour  his  thorns  and 
his  briers  in  one  day ; 

18  And  shall  consume  the 
glory  of  his  forest,  and  of  his 
fruitful  field,  both  soul  and 
body :  and  they  shall  be  as  when 
a  standardbearer  f ainteth. 

19  And  the  rest  of  the  trees  of 
his  forest  shall  be  few,  that  a 
child  may  write  them. 

20  IF  And  it  shall  come  to  pass 
in  that  day,  that  the  remnant 
of  Is/ra-el,  and  such  as  are 
escaped  of  the  house  of  Ja'cob, 
shall  no  more  again  stay  upon 
him  that  smote  them ;  but  shall 
stay  upon  the  Lord,  the  Holy 
One  ofls/ra-el,  in  truth. 

21  The  remnant  shall  return, 
even  the  remnant  of  Ja'cob, 
unto  the  mighty  God. 

22  For  though  thy  people  Is- 
ra-el  be  as  the  sand  of  the  sea, 

t  a  remnant  of  them  shall 
return:  the  consumption  de- 
creed shall  overflow  with  right- 
eousness. 

23  For  the  Lord  God  of  hosts 
shall  make  a  consumption,  even 
determined,  in  the  midst  of  all 
the  land. 

24  TTherefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  GOD  of  hosts,  0  my  people 


that  dwellest  in  Zi'dn,  be  not 
afraid  of  the  As-sfrl-an:  he 
shall  smite  thee  with  a  rod,  and 
shall  lift  up  his  staff  against 
thee,    after    the    manner    of 

5  Forget  a  very  little  while, 
and  the  indignation  shall  cease, 
and  mine  anger  in  their  destruc- 
tion. 

26  And  the  Lord  of  hosts  shall 
stir  up  a  scourge  for  him  ac- 
cording to  the  slaughter  of 
Midl-an  at  the  rock  of  O'reb : 
and  as  his  rod  was  upon  the 
sea,  so  shall  he  lift  it  up  after 
the  manner  of  E'feypt, 

27  And  it  shall  come  to  pass 
in  that  day,  that  his  burden 
shall  be  taken  away  from  off 
thv  shoulder,  and  his  yoke  from 
off  thy  neck,  and  the  yoke  shall 
be  destroyed  because  of  the 
anointing. 

28  He  is  come  to  A-fath,  he  is 
passed  to  Mlg'rOn ;  at  Mkh'mash 
he  hath  laid  up  his  carriages: 

29  They  are  gone  over  the 
jassage:  they  have  taken  up 
their  lodging  at  Ge'ba;  Ra'mah 
is  afraid;  GIb'e-ah  of  Saul  is 
fled. 

30  Lift  up  thy  voice,  0  daugh- 
ter of  Gfirlim:  cause  it  to  be 
heard  unto  La"ish,  0  poor  An'a- 
thdth. 

31  MftdrmS'nah  is  removed;  the 
inhabitants  of  G€l>im  gather 
themselves  to  flee. 

32  As  yet  shall  he  remain  at 
N5b  that  day:  he  shall  shake 
his  hand  against  the  mount  of 
the  daughter  of  Zi'dn,  the  hill 
of  Jevru'sa-lem. 

33  Behold,  the  Lord,  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  shall  lop  the  bough 
with  terror:  and  the  high  ones 
of  stature  shall  be  hewn  down, 
and  the  haughty  shall  be  hum- 
bled. 

34  And  he  shall  cut  down  the 
thickets  of  the  forest  with  iron, 
and  LeVa-non  shall  fall  by  a 
mighty  one.

shall  lie  down  together:  and 
the  lion  shall  eat  straw  like  the

for  the  earth  shall  be  full  of 
the  knowledge  of  the  Lord,  as 
the  waters  cover  the  sea. 

10  And  in  that  day  there  shall 
be  a  root  of  Jes'se,  which  shall 
stand  for  an  ensign  of  the  peo- 
ple; to  it  shall  the  GeVtiles.

time  to  recover  the  remnant  of

and  from  P&th'ros,  and  from 
Cosh,  and  from  fftfim,  and  from 
Shi'nar,  and  from  Ha'math,  and 
from  the  islands  of  the  sea. 

12  And  he  shall  set  up  an  en-

assemble  the  outcasts  of  la'ra-el, 
and  gather  together  the  dis- 
persed of  Ju'dah  from  the  four 
corners  of  the  earth. 

13  The  envy  also  of  E'phrft- 
Im  shall  depart,  and  the  adver- 
saries  of  Ju'dah  shall  be  cut 
off:  £'phrfi-Im  shall  not  envy 
Ju'dah,  and  Ju'dah  shall  not  vex 
CphrS-im. 

14  But  they  shall  fly  upon  the 
shoulders  of  the  Phl-lls'tlnes.

tney  shall  lay  their  hand  upon 
Cdom  and  MS'ab;  and  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mon  shall  obey

destroy  the  tongue  of  theE-g^p'- 


tian  sea;  and  with  his  mighty 
wind  shall  he  shake  his  hand 
over  the  river,  and  shall  smite 
it  in  the  seven  streams,  and 
make  men  go  over  dryshod. 
16  And  there  shall  be  an  high- 
way for  the  remnant  of  his  peo- 
ple, which  shall  be  left,  from

up  out  of  the  land  of  S'gypt

I  will  trust,  and  not  be  afraid 
for  the  Lord  J&-HOTAH  is  my 
strength  and  my  song;  he  also 
is  become  my  salvation. 

3  Therefore  with  joy  shall  ye 
draw  water  out  of  the  wells  of 
salvation. 

4  And  in  that  day  shall  ye 
say,  Praise  the  Lord,  call  upon 
his  name,  declare  his  doings 
among  the  people,  make  men-

high  mountain,  exalt  the  voice 
unto  them,  shake  the  hand,  that 
they  may  go  into  the  gates  of 
the  nobles. 

3  I  have  commanded  my  sanc- 
tified ones,  I  have  also  called 
my  mighty  ones  for  mine  an- 
ger,  even  them  that  rejoice  in 
my  highness. 

4  The  noise  of  a  multitude  in 
the  mountains,  like  as  of  a  great 
people;  a  tumultuous  noise  of 
the  kingdoms  of  nations  gath 
ered  together:  the  Lord  of 
hosts  mustereth  the  host  of  the 
battle. 

5  They  come  from  a  far  coun- 
try, from  the  end  of  heaven, 
even  the  Lord,  and  the  weap- 
ons of  his  indignation,  to  de- 
stroy the  whole  land. 

6  HHowl  ye;  for  the  day  Of  the 
Lord  is  at  hand ;  it  shall  come 
as  a  destruction  from  the  Al- 
mighty.

7  Therefore  shall  all  hands 
be  faint,  and  every  man's  heart 
shall  melt: 

8  And  they  shall  be  afraid: 
panes  and  sorrows  shall  take 
hold  of  them;  they  shall  be  in 
pain  as  a  woman  that  travail- 
eth:  they  shall  be  amazed  one 
at  another;  their  faces  shall  be 
as  flames. 

9  Behold,  the  day  of  the  Lord 
cometh,  cruel  both  with  wrath 
and  tierce  anger,  to  lay  the  land 
desolate :  ana  he  sjiall  destroy 
the  sinners  thereof  out  of  it,' 

10  For  the  stars  of  heaven 
and  the  constellations  thereof 
shall  not  give  their  light :  the 
sun  shall  be  darkened  in  his  go- 
ing forth,  and  the  moon  shall 
not  cause  her  light  to  shine. 

11  And  I  will  punish  the  world 
for  their  evil,  and  the  wicked 
for  their  iniquity;  and  I  will 
cause  the  arrogancy  of  the 
proud  to  cease,  and  will  lay  low 
the  haughtiness  of  the  terrible. 

12  I  will  make  a  man  more 
precious  than  fine  gold;  even 
a  man  than  the  golden  wedge 
ofO'phir. 

13  Therefore  I  will  shake  the 
heavens,  and  the  earth  shall  re- 
move out  of  her  place,  in  the 
wrath  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,,  and 
in  the  day  of  his  fierce  anger. 

14  And  it  shall  be  as  '  the 
chased  roe,  and  as  a  sheep  that 
no  man  taketh  up:  they  shall 
every  man  ttuta  to  his  own  peo- 
ple, and  flee  every  one  into  his 
own  land. 

15  Every  ope  that,  is  foupd 
shall  be  thrust  through ;  fhd 
every  one  that  is  joined  unto 
them  shall  fall  by  the  sword. 

16  Their  children  also  shall 
be  dashed  to  pieces  before 
their'  eyes;  their  houses  shall 
be  spoiled,  and  their  wives  rav- 
ished. ,'"'". 

17  Behold,  I  will  stir  up  the 
Medea  against  them,  which  shall 
not  regard  silver;  and  as  for 
gold,  they  shall  not  delight  in  it 

18  Their  bows  also  shall  dash 
the  young  men  to  pieces;  and 
thev  shall  have  no  pity  on  the 
fruit  of  the  womb ;  their  eye 
shall  not  spare  children. 

19  And  Bab^-lon,  the  glory 
of  kingdoms,  the  beauty  of  the 
ChaTdees.'  excellency,  shall  be 
as  when  God  overthrew  Sftd'om 
and  G6-m5r'rah. 

20  It  shall  never  be  inhabit- 
ed, neither  shall  it  be  dwelt  in 
from  generation  to  generation : 
neither  shall  the  A-raTri-an  pitch 
tent  there;  neither  shall  the 
shepherds  make  their  fold  there. 


21  But  wild  beasts  of  the  des- 
ert shall  lie  there;  and  their 
houses  shall  be  full  of  doleful 
creatures ;  and  owls  shall  dwell 
there,  and  satyrs  shall  dance 
there. 

22  And  the  Wild  beasts  of  the 
islands  shall  cry  in  their  deso- 
late houses,  arid  dragons  in  their 
pleasant  palaces :  and  her  time 
is  near  to  come,  and  her  days 
shall  not  be  prolonged.

inOR  the  Lord  will  have  mer- 
J?  cy  on  Ja'cob,  and  will  yet 
choose  Is'ra-el,  and  set  them  in 
their  own  land:  and  the  stran- 
gers shall  be  joined  with  them, 
and  they  shall  cleave  to  the 
house  of  Jfi'cob. 

2  And  the  people  shall  take 
them,  and  bring  them  to  their 
place:  and  the  house  of  Is/ra-el 
shall  possess  them  in  the  land 
of  the  Lord  for  servants  and 
handmaids :  and  they  shall  take 
them  captives^  whose  captives 
they  were;  and  they  shail  rule 
over*  their  oppressors. 

3  And  it  Shall  come  to  pass 
in  the  day  that  the.  Lord  snail 
give  thee  rest  from  thy  sorrow, 
and  from  thy  fear,  and,  from 
the  hard  bondage  wherein  thou 
wast  made  to  serve, 

4  That   thou   shalt   take   up 
this  jnroverb  against  the  kinj 
of  Bafry-lon,  and  sW,  How  hatl 
the  oppressor  ceased!  the  gold- 
en city  ceased! 

5  The  LORD  hath  broken  the 
staff  of  the  wicked,  and  the 
sceptre  of  the  rulers. 

6  He  who  smote  the  people  in 
wrath  with  a  continual  stroke, 
he  that  ruled  the  nations  in  an- 
ger, is  persecuted,  and  none 
hindereth. 

7  The  Whole  earth  is  at  rest, 
and  is  quiet :  they  break  forth 
into  singing. 

8  Yea,  the  fir  trees  rejoice  at 
thee,  and  the  cedars  of  LeVa- 
non,  saying,  Since  thou  art 
laid  down,  no  feller  is  come  up 
against  us. 

9  Hell  from  beneath  is  moved 
for  thee  to  meet  thee  at  thy 
coming:  it  stirreth  up  the  dead 
for  thee,  even  all  the  chief  ones 
of  the  earth ;  it  hath  raised  up 
from  their  thrones  all  the  kings 
of  the  nations. 

10  All  they  shall  speak  and 
say  unto  thee,  Art  thou  also  be- 
come weak  as  we?  art  thou  be- 
come like  unto  us  ? 

11  Thy  pomp  is  brought  down

to  the  grave,  and  the  noise  of 
thy  viols:  the  worm  is  spread 
under  thee,  and  the  worms  cover 
thee. 

12  How  art  thou  fallen  from 
heaven,  0  Lu.'c,i-f  e*r,  son  of  the 
morning!  now  art  thou  cut 
down  to  the  ground,  which  didst 
weaken  the  nations! 

13  For  thou  hast  said  in  thine 
heart,  I  will  ascend  into  heaven, 
I  will  exalt  my  throne  above  the 
stars  of  God :  I  will  sit  also  upon 
the  mount  of  the  congregation, 
in  the  sides  of  the  north : 

14  I  will  ascend  above  the 
heights  of  the  clouds ;  I  will  be 
like  the  most  High. 

15  Yet  thou  shalt  be  brought 
down  to  hell,  to  the  sides  of  the 
pit 

16  They  that  see  thee  shall 
narrowly  look  upon  thee,  and 
consider  thee,  saying,  Is  this 
the  man  that  made  the  earth  to 
tremble,  that  did  shake  king- 
doms; 

17  That  made  the  world  as  a 
wilderness,  and  destroyed  the 
cities  thereof;  that  opened  hot 
the  house  of  his  prisoners? 

18  All  the  kings  of  the  na- 
tions, even  all  of  them,  lie  in 
dory,  every  one  in  his  own 
house. 

19  But  thou  art  cast  out  of 
thy  grave  like  an  abominable 
branch,  and  as  the  raiment  of 
those,  that  are  slain,  thrust 
through  with  a  sword,  that  go 
down  to  the  stones  of  the  pit; 
as  a  carcase  trodden  under  feet. 

20  Thou  shalt  not  be  joined 
with  them  in  burial,  because 
thou  hast  destroyed  thy  land, 
and  slain  thy  people:  the  seed 
of  evildoers  shall  never  be  re- 
nowned. 

21  Prepare  slaughter  for  his 
children  for  the  iniquity  of  their 
fathers ;  that  they  do  not  rise, 
nor  possess  the  land,  nor  fill  the 
face  of  the  world  with  cities. 

22  For  I  will  rise  up  against 
them,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
and  cut  off  from  B&b'jMon  the 
name,  and  remnant,  and  son, 
and  nephew,  saith  the  Lord. 

23  I  will  also  make  it  a  posses- 
sion for  the  bittern,  and  pools  of 
water:  and  I  will  sweep  it  with 
the  besom  of  destruction,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts. 

24  HThe  Lord  of  hosts  hath 
sworn,  saying,  Surely  as  I  have 
thought,  so  shall  it  come  to  pass; 
and  as  I  have  purposed,  so  shall 
it  stand : 

25  That  I  will  break  the  As- 
sjfar'l-an  in  my  land,  and  upon 
my  mountains  tread  him  under 


foot :  then  shall  his  yoke  depart 
from  off  them,  and  his  burden 
depart  from  off  their  shoulders. 

26  This  is  the  purpose  that  is 
purposed  upon  the  whole  earth : 
and:  this  %s  the  hand  that  is 
stretched  out  upon  all  the  na- 
tions. 

27  For  the  Lord  of  hosts 
hath  purposed,  and  who  shall 
disannul  it?  and  his  hand  is 
stretched  out,  and  who  shall 
turn  it  back? 

28  IT  In  the  year  that  king 
ATiaz  died  was  this  burden. 

29  IT  Rejoice  not  thou,  whole 
Pal-es-ti'na,  because  the  rod  of 
him  that  smote  thee  is  broken : 
for  out  of  the  serpent's  root  shall 
come  forth  a  cockatrice,  and  his 
fruit  shall  be  a  fiery  flying  ser- 
pent 

30  And  the  firstborn  of  the 
poor  shall  feed,  and  the  needy 
shall  lie  down  in  safety :  and  I 
will  kill  thv  root  with  famine, 
and  he  shall  slay  thy  remnant 

31  Howl,  0  gate;  cry,  0  citv; 
thou,  whole  Pal-es-ti'n&,  art  dis- 
solved: for  there  shall  come 
from  the  north  a  smoke,  and 
none  shall  be  alone  in  his  ap- 
pointed times.  . 

32  What  shall  one  then  an-

nation?  That  the  Lord  hath

his  people  shall  trust  in  it

THE  burden  of  Mfl'ab.  Be-

Mo'ab  is  laid  waste,  and  brought 
to  silence ;  because  in  the  night 
Kir  of  Md'ab  is  laid  waste,  and 
brought  to  silence ; 

2  He  is  gone  up  to  Bfi-jith,  and 
to  Dl'bSn,  the  nigh  places,  to 
weep:  M5'ab  shall  howl  over 
Ne'bo,  and  over  Mgd'e-ba:  on 
all  their  heads  shall  be  baldness, 
and  every  beard  cut  off. 

3  In  their  streets  they  shall 
gird  themselves  with  sackcloth : 
on  the  tops  of  their  houses,  and 
in  their  streets,  every  one  shall 
howl,  weeping  abundantly/ 

4  And  Heshl>5n  shall  cry,  and 
E-le-aleh:  their  voice  shall  be 
heard  even  unto  Jatiaz :  there- 
fore the  armed  soldiers  of  Md'ab 
shall  cry  out;  his  life  shall  be 
grievous  unto  him. 

5  My  heart  shall  cry  out  for 
MO'ab ;  his  fugitives  shall  flee 
unto  Z5'ar,  an  heifer  of  three 
years  old :  for  by  the  mounting 
up  of  LuTiith  with  weeping 
shall  they  go  it  up;  for  in  the

raise  up  a  cry  of  destruction 

6  For  the  waters  of  NIm'rim 
shall  be  desolate :  for  the  hav  is 
withered  away,  the  grass  fail 
eth,  there  is  no  green  thing. 

7  Therefore  the  abundance 
they  have  gotten,  and  that 
which  they  have  laid  up,  shall 
they  carry  away  to  the  brook 
of  the  willows. 

8  For  the  cry  is  gone  round 
about  the  borders  of  Md'ab ;  the 
howling  thereof  unto  £g1a-im, 
and  the  howling  thereof  unto 
Be'er-elim. 

9  For  the  waters  of  Di'mdn 
shall  be  full  of  blood:  for  I 
will  bring  more  upon  Di'mon, 
lions  upon  him  that  escapeth 
of  Mo'ab,  and  upon  the  rem- 
nant of  the  land. 

CHAPTER  16 

Moab  exhorted  to  obedience  to  the 
throne  of  David*  6  and  threatened 
for  his  pride  with  lamentable  judg- 
ment*. 

SEND  ye  the  lamb  to  the  ruler 
of  the  land  from  Sela  to 
the  wilderness,  unto  the  mount 
of  the  daughter  of  Zi'fln. 

2  For  it  shall  be,  that,  as  a 
wandering  bird  cast  out  of  the 
nest,  ao  the  daughters  of  Mo'ab 
shall  be  at  the' fords  of  Ar'ndn. 

3  Take  counsel,  execute  judg- 
ment ;  make  thy  shadow  as  the 
night  in  the  midst  of  the  noon- 
day; hide  the  outcasts;  bewray 
not  him  that  wandereth. 

4  Let  mine  outcasts  dwell  with 
thee,  M5'ab ;  be  thou  a  covert 
to  them  from  the  face  of  the 
spoiler:  for  the  extortioner  is 
at  an  end,  the  spoiler  ceaseth, 
the  oppressors  are  consumed 
out  of  the  land. 

5  And  in  mercy  shall  the 
throne  be  established:  and  he 
shall  sit  upon  it  in  truth  in 
the  tabernacle  of  Dfi'vid,  judg- 
ing, and  seeking  judgment,  and 
hasting  righteousness. 

6  IT  We  have  heard  of  the 
pride  of  Mo'ab;  he  ie  very 
proud :  even  of  his  haughtiness, 
and  his  pride,  and  his  wrath: 
but  his  lies  shall  not  be  so. 

7  Therefore  shall  Md'ab  howl 
for  Mo'ab,  everjr  one  shall  howl : 
for  the  foundations  of  Kir-har'- 
e-s&h  shall  ye  mourn;  surely 
they  are  stricken. 

8  For  the  fields  of  H$shT>5n 
languish,  and  the  vine  of  Sib'- 
mah :  the  lords  of  the  heathen 
have  broken  down  the  principal 
plants  thereof,  they  are  come 
even  unto  J&'ier,  they  wandered 
through  the  wilderness:  her 
branches  are  stretched  out,  they 
are  gone  over  the  sea. 


9  Therefore  I  will  bewail  with 
the  weeping  of  J&'zer  the  vine 
of  SIb'mah :  I  will  water  thee 
with  my  tears,  0  Hesh'bdn,  and 
E-le-aleh :  for  the  shouting  for 
thy  summer  fruits  and  for  thy 
harvest  is  fallen. 

10  And  gladness  is  taken 
away,  and  joy  out  of  the  plenti- 
ful field;  and  in  the  vineyards 
there  shall  be  no  singing,  nei- 
ther shall  there  be  shouting: 
the  treaders  shall  tread  out  no 
wine  in  their  presses;  I  have 
made  their  vintage  shouting  to 
cease. 

11  Wherefore  my  bowels  shall 
sound  like  an  harp  for  M5'ab, 
and  mine  inward  parts  for  Kir- 
h&'resh. 

12  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  it  is  seen  that  Md'ab  is 
weary  on  the  high  place,  that 
he  shall  come  to  his  sanctuary 
to  pray ;  but  he  shall  not  pre- 
vail. 

13  This  is  the  word  that  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  concerning 
Mo'ab  since  that  time. 

14  But  now  the  Lord  hath 
spoken,  saying,  Within  three 
years,  as  the  years  of  an  hire- 
ling, and  the  glory  of  Md'ab 
shall  be  contemned,  with  all 
that  great  multitude;  and  the 
remnant  shall  be  very  small 
and  feeble. 

CHAPTER  17 

Syria  and  Israel  threatened, 
rnHE  burden  of  Da-mfis'cus. 
JL  Behold,  DS-mfis'cus  is  taken 
away  from  being  a  city,  and  it 
shall  be  a  ruinous  heap. 

2  The  cities  of  Ar'o-er  are  for- 
saken :  they  shall  be  for  flocks, 
which  shall  lie  down,  and  none 
shall  make  them  afraid. 

3  The  fortress  also  shall  cease 
from  E'phrfi-Im,  and  the  king- 
dom from  D£-mas'cus,  and  the 
remnant  of  Syrf-a:  they  shall 
be  as  the  glory  of  the  children 
of  Is/ra-el,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts. 

4  And  in  that  day  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  that  the  glory  of  J&'cob 
shall  be  made  thin,  and  the  fat- 
ness of  his  flesh  shall  wax  lean. 

5  And  it  shall  be  as  when  the 
harvestman  gathereth  the  corn, 
and  reapeth  the  ears  with  his 
arm ;  and  it  shall  be  as  he  that 
gathereth  ears  in  the  valley  of 
Reph'a-Im. 

6  Yet  gleaning  grapes  shall  be 
left  in  it,  as  the  shaking  of  an 
olive  tree,  two  or  three  berries 
in  the  top  of  the  uppermost 
bough,  four  or  five  in  the  out- 
most fruitful  branches  thereof, 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is/ra-eL,

7  At  that  day  shall  a  man  look 
to  his  Maker,  and  his  eyes  shall 
have  respect  to  the  Holy  One  of 
Ig'ra-eL 

8  And  he  shall  not  look  to  the 
altars,  the  work  of  his  hands, 
neither  shall  respect  that  which 
his  fingers  have  made,  either 
the  groves,  or  the  images. 

9  In  that  day  shall  his  strong 
cities  be  as  a  forsaken  bough, 
and  an  uppermost  branch,  which 
they  left  because  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el :  and  there  shall 
be  desolation. 

10  Because  thou  hast  for- 
gotten the  God  of  thy  salva- 
tion, and  hast  not  been  mindful 
of  the  rock  of  thy  strength, 
therefore  shalt  thou  plant  pleas- 
ant plants,  and  shalt  set  it  with 
strange  slips : 

11  In  the  day  shalt  thou  make 
thy  plant  to  grow,  and  in  the 
morning  shalt  thpu  make  thy 
seed  to  flourish:  but  the  har- 
vest shall  be  a  heap  in  the  day 
of  grief  and  of  desperate  sor- 
row. 

12  Woe  to  the  multitude  of 
many  people,  which  make  a 
noise  like  the  noise  of  the  seas ; 
and  to  the  rushing  of  nations, 
that  make  a  rushing  like  the 
rushing  of  mighty  waters ! 

13  The  nations  shall  rush  like 
the  rushing  of  many  waters 
but  God  shall  rebuke  them,  and 
they  shall  flee  far  off,  and  shall 
be  chased  as  the  chaff  of  the 
mountains  before  the  wind,  and 
like  a  rolling  thing  before  the 
whirlwind. 

14  And  behold  at  eveningtide 
trouble;  and  before  the  morn- 
ing he  is  not.  This  is  the 
portion  of  them  that  spoil  us, 
and  the  lot  of  them  that  rob  us. 

CHAPTER  18 
God,  in  care  of  his  people,  vriU  *de- 
etroy  the  Ethiopian*. 

WOE  to  the  land  shadowing 
with  wings,  which  is  be- 
yond the  rivers  of  E-thi-o'pI-a : 

2  That  sendeth  ambassadors 
by  the  sea,  even  in  vessels  of 
bulrushes  upon  the  waters,  say- 
ing, Go,  ye  swift  messengers,  to 
a  nation  scattered  and  peeled, 
to  a  people  terrible  from  their 
beginning  hitherto;  a  nation 
meted  out  and  trodden  down, 
whose  land  the  rivers  have 
spoiled! 

3  All  ye  inhabitants  of  the 
world,  and  dwellers  on  the 
earth,  see  ye,  when  he  lifteth 
up  an  ensign  on  the  mountains ; 
and  when  he  bloweth  a  trumpet, 
hear  ye. 

4  For  so  the  Lord  said  unto 


me*  I  will  take  my  rest,  and  I 
will  consider  in  my  dwelling 

Elace  like  a  clear  heat  upon 
erbs,  and  like  a  cloud  of  dew 
in  the  heat  of  harvest. 

5  For  afore  the  harvest,  when 
the  bud  is  perfect,  and  the  sour 
crape  is  ripening  in  the  flower, 
he  shall  both  cut  off  the  sprigs 
with  pruning  hooks,  and  take 
away  and  cut  down  the 
branches. 

6  They  shall  be  left  together 
unto  the  fowls  of  the  mountains, 
and  to  the  beasts  of  the  earth : 
and  the  fowls  shall  summer 
upon  them,  and  all  the  beasts 
of  the  earth  shall  winter  upon 
them. 

7  Uln  that  time  shall  the  pres- 
ent be  brought  unto  the  Lord 
of  hosts  of  a  people  scattered 
and  peeled,  and  from  a  people 
terrible  from  their  beginning 
hitherto;  a  nation  meted  out 
and  trodden  under  foot,  whose 
land  the  rivers  have  spoiled,  to 
the  place  of  the  name  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  the  mount  Zi'on.

E'feypt  shall  be  moved  at  his 
presence,  and  the  heart  of 
fe'gypt  shall  melt  in  the  midst

2  And  I  will  set  the  fcgyp'-

ery one  against  his  neighbour ; 
city  against  city,  and  kingdom 
against  kingdom. 

3  And  the  spirit  of  Egypt 
shall  fail  in  the  midst  thereof; 
and  I  will  destroy  the  counsel 
thereof :  and  they  shall  seek  to 
the  idols,  and  to  the  charmers, 
and  to  them  that  have  familiar 
spirits,  and  to  the  wizards. 

4  And  the  E-gyp'tiang  will  I 
give  over  into  the  hand  of  a 
cruel  lord;  and  a  fierce  king

of  defence  shall  be  emptied  and 
dried  up:  the  reeds  and  flags 
shall  wither.

8  The  fishers  also  shall  mourn, 
and  all  they  that  cast  angle  in-

waters  shall  languish. 

9  Moreover  they  that  work  in

networks,  shall  be  confounded. 

10  And  they  shall  be  broken 
in  the  purposes  thereof,  all  that 
make  sluices  and  ponds  for 
fish. 

11  Surely  the  princes  of  Zd'an 
are  fools,  the  counsel  of  the 
wise  counsellors  of  Phft'raSh  is 
become  brutish :  how  say  ye 
unto  PhS'ra5h,  I  am  the  son  of 
the  wise,  the  son  of  ancient 
kings?

know  what  the  Lord  of  hosts 
hath  purposed  upon  E'gypt 

13  The  princes  of  Zft'an  are 
become  fools,  the  princes  of 
N5ph  are  deceived;  they  have 
also  seduced  fi'gfpt,  even  they 
that  are  the  stay  of  the  tribes 
thereof. 

14  The  Lord  hath  mingled  a 
perverse  spirit  in  the  midst 
thereof :  and  they  have  caused 
E'gjrpt  to  err  in  every  work 
thereof,  as  a  drunken  man  stag- 
gereth  in  his  vomit 

15  Neither  shall  there  be  any 
work  for  E'fcvpt,  which  the 
head  or  tail,  branch  or  rush, 
may  do. 

16  In  that  day  shall  r^ypt  be 
like  unto  women:  and  it  shall 
be  afraid  and  fear  because  of 
the  shaking  of  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  which  he  shak- 
eth  over  it 

17  And  the  land  of  Jfc'dah 
shall  be  a  terror  unto  Cfefpt, 
every  one  that  maketh  mention 
thereof  shall  be  afraid  in  him- 
self, because  of  the  counsel  of 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  which  he 
hath  determined  against  it. 

18  In  that  day  shall  five  cities 
in  the  land  of  E'gjfpt  speak  the 
language  of  C3'n3an,  and  swear 
to  the  Lord  of  hosts;  onesliall 
be  called,  The  city  of  destruc- 
tion. 

19  In  that  day  shall  there  be 
an  altar  to  the  Lord  in.  the 
midst  of  the  land  of  E'feypt, 
and  a  pillar  at  the  border  there- 
of to  tne  Lord. 

20  And  it  shall  be  for  a  sign 
and  for  a  witness  unto  the  Lord 
of  hosts. in  the  land  of  Cgjfpt: 
for  they  shall  cry  unto  the  Lord 
because  of  the  oppressors,  and 
he  shall  send  them  a  saviour,]  cape  t

and  a  great  one,  and  he  shall 
deliver  them. 

21  And  the  Lord  shall  be 
known  to  E'gfpt,  and  the 
ftgyp'tians.  shall  know  the 
Lord  in  that  day,  and  shall 
do  sacrifice  and  oblation;  yea, 
they  shall  vow  a  vow  unto  the 
Lord,  and  perform  it. 

22  And  the  Lord  shall  smite 
E'gypt :  he  shall  smite  and  heal 
it :  and  they  shall  return  even 
to  the  Lord,  and  he  shall  be 
intreated  of  them,  and  shall 
heal  them. 

23  In  that  day  shall  there 
be  a  highway  out  of  fi'gjfat  to

shall  come  into  E'gjfpt,  and  the 

I'tian  into  A»*fj"L-e\  and

As-sjrrl-a,  even  a  blessing  in 
the  midst  of  the  land: 

25  Whom  the  Lord  of  hosts 
shall  bless,  saying,  Blessed  6a

CHAPTER  20 

By  the  prophet  walking  naked  and 
barefoot  three  year$  is  prefigured 
the  shamefiU  captivity  of  Egypt  and 
Ethiopia. 

N  the  year  that  Tartan  came 

unto  Ash'dCd,  (when  Sar'gon 

the  king  of  As-s^rT-a  sent  him,) 

and  fought   against   Ash'ddd, 

and  took  it ; 

2  At  the  same  time  spake 
the  Lord  by  I-sfi'iah  the  son  of 
A'mdz,  saying,  Go  and  loose  the 
sackcloth  from  off  thy  loins, 
and  put  off  thy  Shoe  from  thy 
foot  And  he  did  so,  walking 
naked  and  barefoot. 

3  And  the  Lord  said,  Like  as 
my  servant  t-$a'iah  hath  walked 
naked  and  barefoot  three  years 
fir  a  sign'  and  wonder  upon 
E'gjpt  and  upon  l£thi-o"pI-a ; 

4  So  shall  the  king  of  As- 
sjhfl-a  lead  away  the  E-fryp'- 
tians  prisoners,  and  the  E-thi- 
d~p!-ans.  captives,  young  and  old, 
naked  ana  barefoot,  even  with 
their  buttocks  uncovered,  to  the 
shame  of  E'gypt. ' 

5'  And  they  shall  be  afraid  and 
ashamed  of  B-thl^Tp^a  their  ex- 
pectation, and  of  eTjfjrpt  their 
glory. 

6  And  the  inhabitant  of  this 
isle  shall  say  in  that  day,  Be- 
hold, such  is  our  expectation, 
whither  we  fiee  for  help  to  be 
delivered  from  the  king  of  As-

CHAPTER  21 

The  fail  of  Babylon  by  the  Medea  and 
Persians:  11  warrnng  to  Edom.  13 
Arabia's  calamity. 

FTIHft  burden  of  the  desert  of 
X  the  sea.  As  Whirlwinds  in 
the  South  pass  through;  so  it 
cometh  from  the  desert,  from  a 
terrible  land. 

2  A  grievous  vision  is  declared 
unto  me;  the  treacherous  deal- 
er dealeth  treacherously,  and 
the  spoiler  spofleth.  Go  up,  O 
ETfini:  besiege,  O  MSMI-a;  all 
the  sighing  thereof  have  |  made 
to  cease. 

3  Therefore  are  my  loins  filled 
with  pairi :  pangs  have  taken 
hold  upon  me,  as  the  pangs  of  a 
woman  that  travaileth:  1  was 
bowed  down  at  the  hearing  of 
it;  1  was  dismayed  at  the  see- 
ing of  it 

4  My  heart  panted,  fearfulness 
affrighted  me :  the  night  of  my 
pleasure  hath  he  turned  into 
fear  unto  me. 

5  Prepare  the  table,  watch 
in  the  watchtower,  eat,  drink : 
arise,  ye  princes,  and  anoint 
the  shield. 

6  For*thus  hath  the  Lord  said 
unto  me,  Go,  set  a  watchman, 
let  him  declare  what  he  seeth. 

7  And  lie  saw  a  chariot  with  a 
couple  of  horsemen,  a  chariot 
of  asses,  ana  '  a  chariot  of 
camels;  and  he  hearkened  dili- 
gently with  much  lieed: 

8  And  he  cried,  A  lion:  My 
lord,  I  stand  continually  upon 
the  watchtower  in  the  daytime, 
and  I  am  set  in  my  ward  whole 
nights: 

9  And,  behold,  here  cometh  a 
chariot  of  men,  with  a  couple 
of  horsemen.  And  he  answered 
and  said,  BaVt-lon  is  fallen,  is 
fallen;  and  all  the  graven  im- 
ages of  her  gods  he  hath  broken 
unto  the  ground.  . 

10  0  my  threshing,  and  the 
corn  of  iriy  floor :  that  which  I 
have  heard  of  the  Lord  of 
hosts,,  the  God  of  Is/ra-el,  have 
I  declared  unto  you. 

11  IF  The  burden  of  Du'mah. 
He  calleth  to  me  out  of  S€1r, 
Watchman,  what  of  the  night? 
Watchman,  what  of  the  night? 

12  The  watchman  said,  The 
morning  cometh,  and  also  the 
night :  if  ye  will  enquire,  en- 
quire ye !  return,  come. 

13  ITThe  burden  upon  A-raTrt-a. 
In  the  forest  in  A-ra*bi-a  shall 
ye  lodge,  0  ye .  travelling  com- 
panies of  DSd'a-nim. 

14  The  inhabitants  of  the 
land  of  TS'ma  brought  water  to 
him  thai  was  thirsty,  they  pre- 


vented with  their  bread  him 
that  lied. 

15  For  they  fled  from  the 
swords,  from  the  drawn  sword, 
and  frbm  the  bent  bow,  and 
frorrl  the  grievousness  of  war. 

16  For  thus  hath  the  Lord 
said  unto  me,  Within  a  year, 
according  to.  the  years  of  an 
hireling,  arid  all  the  glory  of 
Kg'dSr  shall  fail: 

17  And  the  residue  of  the 
number  of  archers,  the  mighty 
men  of  the'  children  of  K£xl3r, 
shall  be  diminished:  for  the 
Lord  God  of  fg'ra-el  hath 
spoken  it. 

CHAPTER  22 
Invasion  ttfJhtory  by  <0U  Persians. 

THE  burden  ot  the  valley  of 
vision.  What  afleth  thee 
now,  that  thou  art  wholly  gone 
up  to  the  housetops?  • 
2;Thou  that  art  full  of  stirs, 
a  tumultuous  dry,  a  joyous  city : 
thy  slain  men  are  not  slain 
with  the  sword,  nor  dead  in 
battle. 

3  AH  thy  rulers  are  fled  to- 
gether, they  are  bound  by  the 
archers:  all  that  are  found  in 
thee  are  bound  together,  which 
have  fled  from  far. 

4  Therefore  said  I,  Look 
away  from  me;  I  will  weep 
bitterly,  labour  not  to  comfort 
me,  because  of  the  spoiling  of 
the  daughter  of  my  people! 

5  For  %t  is  a  day  of  trouble, 
and  of  treading  down,  and  of 

Eerplexity  by  the  Lord  God  of 
osts  in  the  valley  of  vision, 
breaking  down  the  Walls,  and 
of  crying  to  the  mountains. 

6  And  £15m  bare  the  qiriver 
with  chariots  of  men  and 
horsemen,  and  Kir  uncovered 
the  shield. 

7  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  thy  choicest  valleys  shall 
be  full  of  chariots,  and  the 
horsemen  shall  set  themselves 
in  array  at, the  gate. 

8  If.  And  ne  discovered  the 
covering  of  Jfl'dah,  and  thou 
didst  look  in  that  day  to  the 
armour  of  the  house  of  the 
forest. 

9  Ye  have  seen  also  the 
breaches  of  the  city  of  MMd, 
that  they  are  many:  and  ye 
gathered  together  the  waters 
of  the  lower  pool. 

10  And  ye  have  numbered 
the  houses  of  J&rg'sa-lem,  and 
the  houses  have*ye  broken 
down  to  fortify  the  wall.    . 

11  Ye  made  also  a  ditch  be- 
tween the  two  walls  for  the 
water  of  the  old  pool :  but  ye

have  not  looked  unto  the  mak-

unto  him  that  fashioned  it  long 
ago. 

12  And  in  that  day  did  the 
Lord  God  of  hosts  call  to 
weeping,  and  to  mourning,  and 
to  baldness,  and  to  girding 
with  sackcloth 

13  And  behold  joy  and  glad- 
ness, slaying  oxen,  and  killing 
sheep,  eating  flesh,  and  drink- 
ing wine:  let  us  eat  and 
drink;  for  to  morrow  we  shall 
die. 

14  And  it  was  revealed  in 
mine  ears  by  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  Surely  this  iniquity  shall 
not  be  purged  from  you  till 
ye  die,  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
hosts. 

15  TThus  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  hosts,  Go,  get  thee  unto  this 
treasurer,  even  unto  SheVna, 
which  is  over  the  house,  ana 
say, 

16  What  hast  thou  here?  and 
whom  hast  thou  here,  that 
thou  hast  hewed  thee  out  a 
sepulchre  here,  as  he  that 
heweth  him  out  a  sepulchre  on 
high,  and  that  graveth  an  habi- 
tation for  himself  in  a  rock  ? 

17  Behold,  the  Lord  will 
carry  thee  away  with  a  mighty 
captivity,  and  will  surely  cover 
thee. 


into  a  large  country:  there 
shalt  thou  die,  and  there  the 
chariots  of  thy  glory  shall  be 
the  shame  of  thy  lord's  house. 

19  And  I  will  drive  thee  from 
thy  station,  and  from  thy  state 
shall  he  pull  thee  down. 

20  If  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass  in  that  day,  that  I  will  call 
my  servant  E-fi'a-kim  the  son 
ofHil-kl'ah: 

21  And  I  will  clothe  him  with 
thy  robe,  and  strengthen  him 
with  thy  girdle,  and  I  will  com- 
mit thy  government  into  his 
hand :  and  he  shall  be  a  father 
to  the  inhabitants  of  JS-ru'- 
saV-lSm,  and  to  the  house  of 
Ju'dah. 

22  And  the  key  of  the  house 
of  Da'vid  will  I  lay  upon  his 
shoulder ;  so  he  shall  open,  and 
none  shall  shut;  and  ne  shall 
shut,  and  none  shall  open. 

23  And  I  will  fasten  him  as 
a  nail  in  a  sure  place ;  and  he 
shall  be  for  a  glorious  throne 
to  his  father's  house. 

24  And  they  shall  hang  upon 
him  all  the  glory  of  his  father's 
house,  the  offspring  and  the 
issue,  all  vessels  of  small  quan- 


tity, from  the  vessels  of  cups, 
even  to  all  kthe  vessels  of 
flagons. 

25  In  that  day,  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  shall  the  nail  that  is 
fastened  in  the  sure  place  be 
removed,  and  be  cut  down,  and 
fall ;  and  the  burden  that  was

against  Tyre,  the  crowning  city,

not,  till  the  As-s^rl-an  founded 
it  for  them  that  dwell  in  the 
wilderness:  they  set  up  the 
towers  thereof,  they  raised  up 
the  palaces  thereof;  and  he 
brought  it  to  ruin. 

14  Howl,  ye  ships  of  TaVshish: 
for  your  strength  is  laid  waste. 

15  And  it  shall  come  to  pass 
in  that  day,  that  Tyre  shall  be 
forgotten  seventy  years,  accord- 
ing to  the  days  of  one  king: 
after  the  end  of  seventy  years 
shall  Tjrre  sing  as  an  harlot 

16  Take  an  harp,  go  about  the 
city,  thou  harlot  that  hast  been 
forgotten ;  make  sweet  melody, 
sins  many  songs,  that  thou  may- 
est  be  remembered. 

17  ITAnd  it  shall  come  to  pass

world  upon  the  face  of  the 
earth. 

18  And  her  merchandise  and 
her  hire  shall  be  holiness  to  the

nor  laid  up;  for  her  merchan- 
dise shall  he  for  them  that 
dwell  before  the  Lord,  to  eat 
sufficiently,  and  for  durable 
clothing. 

CHAPTER  24 

God?*  judgments  upon  the  land.  HA 
remnant  shall  joufuttv  praise  him. 

BEHOLD,  the  Lord  maketh 
the  earth  empty,  and  mak- 
eth it  waste,  and  turneth  it 
upside  down,  and  scattereth 
abroad  the  inhabitants  thereof. 

2  And  it  shall  be,  as  with  the 
people,  so  with  the  priest;  as 
with  the  servant,  so  with  his 
master;  as  with  the  maid,  so 
with  her  mistress;  as  with  the 
buyer,  so  with  the  seller;  as 
with  the  lender,  so  with  the 
borrower ;  as  with  the  taker  of 
usury,  so  with  the  giver  of 
usury  to  him. 

3  The  land  shall  be  utterly 
emptied,  and  utterly  spoiled 
for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  this 
word. 

4  The  earth  mourneth  and 
fadeth  away,  the  world  lan- 

Kisheth  and  fadeth  away,  the 
ughtv  people  of  the  earth  do 
languish. 

5  The  earth  also  is  defiled 
under  the  inhabitants  thereof ; 
because  they  have  transgressed 
the  laws,  changed  the  ordi- 
nance, broken  the  everlasting 
covenant. 

6  Therefore  hath  the  curse 
devoured  the  earth,  and  they 
that  dwell  therein  are  desolate 


therefore  the  inhabitants  of  the 
earth  are  burned,  and  few  men 
left 

7  The  new  wine  mourneth, 
the  vine  languisheth,  all  the 
merryhearted  do  sigh. 

8  The  mirth  of  tabrets  ceas- 
eth,  the  noise  of  them  that  re- 
joice endeth,  the  joy  of  the 
harp  ceaseth. 

9  They  shall  not  drink  wine 
with  a  song;  strong  drink  shall 
be  bitter  to  them  that  drink  it 

10  The  city  of  confusion  is 
broken  down:  every  house  is 
shut  up,  that  no  man  may  come 
in. 

11  There  is  a  crying  for  wine 
q  the  streets;  all  joy  is  dark- 
ened, the  mirth  of  the  land  is 
gone. 

12  In  the  city  is  left  desola- 
tion, and  the  gate  is  smitten 
with  destruction. 

13  ITWhen  thus  it  shall  be  in 
the  midst  of  the  land  among 
the  people,  there  shall  be  as 
the  shaking  of  an  olive  tree, 
and  as  the  gleaning  grapes 
when  the  vintage  is  done. 

14  They  shall  lift  up  their 
voice,  they  shall  sing  for  the 
majesty  of  the  Lord,  they  shall 
cry  aloud  from  the  sea. 

15  Wherefore  glorify  ye  the 
Lord  in  the  fires,  even  the 
name  of  the  Lord  God  of  Is/ra- 
el  in  the  isles  of  the  sea. 

16  HFrom  the  uttermost  part 
of  the  earth  have  we  heard 
songs,  even  glory  to  the  right- 
eous. But  I  said,  My  leanness, 
my  leanness,  woe  unto  me !  the 
treacherous  dealers  have  dealt 
treacherously ;  yea,  the  treach- 
erous dealers  have  dealt  very 
treacherously. 

17  Fear,  and  the  pit,  and  the 
snare,  are  upon  thee,  0  inhabit- 
ant of  the  earth. 

18  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  he  who  fleeth  from  the 
noise  of  the  fear  shall  fall  into 
the  pit;  and  he  that  cometh  up 
out  of  the  midst  of  the  pit  shall 
be  taken  in  the  snare:  for  the 
windows  from  on  high  are  open, 
and  the  foundations  of  the  earth 
do  shake. 

19  The  earth  is  utterly  bro- 
ken down,  the  earth  is  clean 
dissolved,  the  earth  is  moved 
exceedingly. 

£0  The  earth  shall  reel  to  and 
fro  like  a  drunkard,  and  shall  be 
removed  like  a  cottage ;  and  the 
transgression  thereof  shall  be 
heavy  upon  it ;  and  it  shall  fall, 
and  not  rise  again. 

21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass 
in  that  day,  that  the  Lord  snail

CHAPTER  25 

The  prophet  praises  God  for  hie  poet 
judgments  ;  6  for  future  salvation 
of  hie  people*  and  for  hie  -victory 
over  their  enetniee. 

OLORD, thouart  my  God;  I 
will  exalt  thee,  I  will  praise 
thy  name;  for  thou  hast  done 
wonderful  things:  thy  coun- 
sels of  old  are  faithfulness  and 
truth. 

2  For  thou  hast  made  of  a 
city  an  heap ;  o/a  def  enced  city 
a  ruin ;  a  palace  of  strangers  to 
be  no  city;  it  shall  never  be 
built    . 

3  Therefore  shall  the  strong 
people  glorify  thee,  the  city  of 
the  terrible,  nations  shall  fear 
thee. 

4  For  thou  hast  been  a 
strength  to  the, poor,  a  strength 
to  the  needy  in  his  distress,  a 
refuge  from  the  storm,  a  shad- 
ow from  the  heat,  when  the 
blast  of  the  terrible  ones  is  as  a 
storm  against  the  wall.    , 

5  Thou  shalt  bring  down  the 
noise  of  strangers,  as  the  heat 
in  a  dry  place;  even  the  heat 
with  the  shadow  of  a  cloud :.  the 
branch  of  the  terrible  oqes  shall 
be  brought  low. 

6  If  And  in  this  mountain  shall 
the  Lord  of  hosts  make  unto  all 
people  a  feast  of  fat  things,  a 
feast  of  wines  on  the  lees,  of  fat 
things  full  of  marrow,  of  wines 
on  the  lees  well  refined. 

7  And  he  will  destroy  in  this 
mountain  the  face  of  the  cover- 
ing cast  over  all  people,  and  the 
vail  that  is  spread  over  all  na- 
tions. 

6  He  will  swallow  up  death  in 
victory;. and  tjie  Lord  God  will 
wipe  away  tears  from  off .  all 
faces;  and  the  rebuke  of  his 
people  shall  he  take  away  from 
off  all  the  earth :  for  the  Lord 
hath  spoken  it. 

9  IT  And  it  shall  be  said  in  that 
day,  Lo,this  is  our  God;  we  have 
waited  for  him,  and  He  will  save 
us :  this  is  the  Lord  ;  we  have 
waited  for  him,  we  will  be  glad 
and  rejoiqe  in  his  salvation.' 


10  Fpr  in  this  mountain  shall 
the  hand  of  the  Lord  rest  and 
Mo'ab  snail  be  trodden  down 
under  him,  even  as  straw  is 
trodden  down  for  the  dunghill. 

11  And  he  shall, spread  forth 
his  hands  in  the  midst  of  them, 
as  he  tfyat  swiromethspreadeth 
forth  his  hands  to  swim:  and 
he  shall  bring  down  their  pride 
together  with  the  spoils  of  their 
hands. 

12  And  the  fortress  of  jthe 
high  fort  of  thy  walls  shall  he 
bring  down,  lay  low,  and  bring 
to  the  ground,  even  to  the  dust 

CHAPTER  26 

A  song  inciting  to  confidence  in  Qod : 
20  an  exhortation  to  wait  hie  com- 
ing to  judgment. 

IN  that  day  shall  this  sons  be 
sung  in  the  land  of  Jfi'aah ; 
We  have  a. strong  city;  salva- 
tion will .  God  appoint  for  walls 
and  bulwarks. 

2  Open  ye  the  gates,  that  the 
righteous  nation  which  keepeth 
the  truth  may.  enter  in. 

3  Thou  wilt  keep  Aim  in  per- 
fect peace,  whose  mind  is  staved 
on  thee  :.  because  he  trusteth  in 
tiiee. 

4  Trust  ye,  in  the  Lord  for 
ever;  for  in  the  Lord  JE4KV- 
VAH  is  everlasting  strength: 

5  IF  For,  lie  bringeth  down 
them  that  dwell  on  high;  the 
lofty  city,  he  layeth  it  low ;  he 
layeth  it  low,  even  to  the 
ground;  he  bringetn  it  even 
to  the  dust. 

6  The  foot  shall  tread  it  down, 
even  the  feet  of  the  poor,,  and 
the  steps  of  the  needv. 

7  The  way  of  the  just  is  up- 
rightness: thou,  most  upright, 
dost  weigh  the,  path  of  the  just 

8  Yea,  in  the  way  of  thy  judg- 
ments, O  Lord,  have  we  waited 
for  thee>  t}ie  desire  of  our  soul 
is  to  thy  name,  and  to  the  re* 
membrance  of  thee. 

9  With  my  soul  have  I  desired 
thee  jn  the  night ;  yea,  with  my 
spirit  within  me  will  I  seek  thee 
early :  for  when  thy  judgments 
are  in  the  earth,  the  inhabitants 
of  the  world  will; learn  right- 
eousness. 

10  Let  favour  be  shewed  to  the 
wicked, .  yet  will  he ,  not .  learn 
righteousness;  in  the  land  of 
uprightness  wfill  he  deal  unjust- 
ly, and  will  not  behold  the  maj 
esty  of  the  Lord. 

11  Lord,  when  thy  hand  is 
lifted  up,  they  .will  not  see 
but  they  shall  see, .  and  be 
ashamed  for  their  envy  at  the 
people;  yea,  the  fire  of  thine 
enemies  shall  devour  them.

minion over  us:  but  by  thee 
only  will  we  make  mention  of 
thy  name. 

14  They  are  dead,  they  shall 
not  live;  they  are  deceased, 
they  shall  not  rise:  therefore 
hast  thou  visited  and  destroyed 
them*  and  made  all  their  mem- 
ory to  perish. 

15  Thou  hast  increased  the 
nation,  0  Lord,  thou  hast  in- 
creased the  nation:  thou  art 
glorified:  thou  hadst  removed 
%t  far  unto  all  the  ends  of  the 
earth. 

16  Lord*  in  trouble  have  they 
visited  thee,  they  poured  out  a 
prayer  when  thy  chastening 
was  upon  them. 

17  Like  as  a  woman  with  child, 
thai  draweth  near  the  time  of 
her  delivery,  is  in  pain,  and  cri- 
eth  out  in  her  pangs;  so  have 
we  been  in  thy  sight,  0  Lord. 

18  We  have  been  with  child, 
we  have  been  in  pain,  we  have 
as  it  were  brought  forth  wind; 
we  have  not  wrought  any  de- 
liverance in  the  earth;  neither 
have  the  inhabitants  of  the 
world  fallen. 

19  Thy  dead  men  shall  live, 
together  with  my  dead  body 
shall  they  arise.  Awake  and 
sing,  ye  that  dwell  in  dust:  for 
thy  dew  is  as  the  dew  of  herbs, 
and  the  earth  shall  cast  out  the 
dead. 

20  H  Come,  my  people,  enter 
thou  into  thy  chambers,  and 
shut  thy  doors  about  thee:  hide 
thyself  as  it  were  for  a  little 
moment,  until  the  indignation 
be  overpast 

21  For,  behold,  the  Lord  com- 
eth  out  of  his  place  to  punish 
the  inhabitants  of  the  earth  for 
their  iniquity:  the  earth  also 
shall  disclose  her  blood,  and 
shall  no  more  cover  her  slain. 

CHAPTER  27 

Care  of  God  over  hie  vineyard:  7 
his  chastisements  differ  from  judg- 
ment*. 12  Refutation  of  the  dis- 
persed. 

IN  that  day  the  Lord  with  his 
sore  and  great  and  strong 
sword  shall  punish  leviathan  the 
piercing  serpent,  even  leviathan 
that  crooked  serpent;  and  he 
shall  slay  the  dragon  that  is  in 
the  sea. 

2  tin  that  day  sing  ye  unto 
her,  A  vineyard  of  red  wine.  • 

3  I  the  Lord  do  keep  it;  I 
will  water  it  every  moment: 


lest  any  hurt  it,  I  will  keep  it 
n}ght  and  day. 

4  Fury  is  not  in  me:,  who 
would  set  the  briers  and  thorns 
against  me  in  battle?  I  would 
go  through  them,  I  would  burn 
them  together.  . 

5  Or  let  him  take  hold  of  my 
strength,  that  he  may  make 
peace  with  me;  and  he  shall 
make  peace  with  me. 

6  He  shall  cause  them  that 
come  of  Ja'cob  to  take  root:  Is/. 
rarel  shall  blossom  and  bud,  and 
fill  the  face  of  the  world  with 
fruit 

7  Hath  he  smitten  him,  as  he 
smote  those  that  smote  him? 
or  ia  he  slain  according  to  the 
slaughter  of  them  that  are  slain 
by  him? 

8  In  measure,  when  it  shoot- 
eth  forth,  thou  wilt  debate  with 
it:  he  stay  eth  his  rough  wind 
in  the  dav  of  the  east  wind. 

9  By  this  therefore  shall  the 
iniquity  of  Ja'cob  be  purged; 
and  this  is  all  the  fruit  to  take 
away  his  sin ;  when  he  maketh 
all  the  stones  of  the  altar  as 
chalkstones  that  are  beaten  in 
sunder,  the  groves  and  images 
shall  not  stand  up. 

10  Yet  the  def  enced  city  shall 
be  desolate,  and  the  habitation 
forsaken,  and  left  like  a  wilder- 
ness: there  shall  the  calf  feed, 
and  there  shall  he  lie  down,  and 
consume  the  branches  thereof. 

U  When  the  boughs  thereof 
are  withered,  they  shall  be  bro- 
ken off:  the  women  come,  and 
set  them  on  fire;  for  it  ia  a 
people  of  no  understanding: 
therefore  he  that  made  them 
will  not  have  mercy  on  them, 
and  he  that  formed  them  will 
shew  them  no  favour. 

12  And  it  shall  come  to  pass 
in  that  day,  that  the  Lord  shall 
beat  off  from  the  channel  of! 
the  river  unto  the  stream  of 
&&?&>  and  ye  shall  be  gathered 
one  dv  one,  0  ye  children  of 
Ia'ra-eL 

13  And  it  shall  come  to  pass 
in  that  day,  that  the  great 
trumpet  shall  be  blown,  and  they 
shall  come  which  were  ready  to 
perish  in  the  land  of  As-sjhni-a, 
and  the  outcasts  in  the  land  of 
E'gtpt,  and  shall  worship  the 
Lord  in  the  holy  mount  at  J2- 
ry'sa-lem.

speak  to  this  people. 

12  To  whom  he  said,  This  is 
the  rest  wherewith  ye  may 
cause  the  weary  to  rest;  and 
this  is  the  refreshing:  yet  they 
would  not  hear. 

13  But  the  word  of  the  Lord 
was  unto  them  precept  upon 
precept,  precept  upon  precept; 
line  upon  line,  line  upon  Une; 
here  a  little,  and  there  a  little; 
that  they  might  go,  and  fall 
backward;  and  be  broken,  and 
snared,  and  taken, 

14  ITWherefore  hear  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  ye  scornful  men, 
that  rule  this  people  which  is  in 
teru'sa-letn, 

15  Because  ye  have  said,  We 


fading  flower,  which  are  on  the 
head  of  the  fat  valleys  of  them 
that  are  overcome  with  wine  \ 

2  Behold,  the  Lord  hath  a 
mighty  and  strong  one,  which 
as  a  tempest  of  hail  and  a 
destroying  storm,  as  a  flood 
of  mighty  waters  overflowing, 
shall  cast  down  to  the  earth 
with  the  hand. 

3  The  crown  of  pride,  the 
drunkards  of  E'phra-Im,  shall 
be  trodden  under  feet: 

4  And  the  glorious  beauty, 
which  is  on  the  head  of  the  fat 
valley,  shall  be  a  fading  flower, 
and  as  the  hasty  fruit  before 
the  summer;  which  when  he 
that  looketh  upon  it  seeth,  while 
it  is  yet  in  his  hand  he  eateth 
it  up. 

5  tin  that  day  shall  the  Lord 
of  hosts  be  for  a  crown  of  glory, 
and  for  a  diadem  of  beauty,  un- 
to the  residue  of  his  people, 

6  And  for  a  spirit  of  judgment 
to  him  that  sitteth  in  judgment, 
and  for  strength  to  them  that 
turn  the  battle  to  the  gate. 

7  But  they  also  have  erred 
through  wine,  and  through 
strong  drink  are  out  of  the  way 
the  priest  and  the  prophet  have 
erred  through  strong  drink,  they 
are  swallowed  up  of  wine,  they 
are  out  of  the  way  through 
strong  drink ;  they  err  in  vision, 
they  stumble  in  judgment 

8  For  all  tables  are  full  of 
vomit  and  filthiness,  so  that 
there  is  no  place  clean. 

9  Whom  shall  he  teach  knowl- 
edge? and  whom  shall  he  make 
to  understand  doctrine?  them 
that  are  weaned  from  the  milk, 
and  drawn  from  the  breasts. 

10  For  precept  must  be  upon 
precept,  precept  upon  precept; 
line  upon  line,  line  upon  line; 
here  a  Httle,  and  there  a  little : 

11  For  with  stammering  lips  upon  the  whole  earth, 
and   another   tongue  will    he    23  HGive  ye  ear,  and  hear  my 


have  made  a  covenant  with 
death,  and  with  hell  are  we  at 
agreement;  when  the  overflow- 
ing scourge  shall  pass  through, 
it  shall  not  come  unto  us:  for 
we  have  made  lies  our  refuge, 
and  under  falsehood  have  we 
hid  ourselves: 

16  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God,  Behold,  I  lay  in  Zi'dn 
for  a  foundation  a  stone,  a  tried 
stone,  a  precious  corner  stone, 
a  sure  foundation :  he  that  be- 
lieveth  shall  not  make  haste. 

17  Judgment  also  will  I  lay  to 
the  line,  and  righteousness  to 
the  plummet :  and  the  hail  shall 
sweep  away  the  refuge  of  lies, 
and  the  waters  shall  overflow 
the  hiding  place. 

18  And  your  covenant  with 
death  shall  be  disannulled,  and 
your  agreement  with  hell  shall 
not  stand;  when  the  overflow- 
ing scourge  shall  pass  through, 
then  ye  shall  be  trodden  down 
by  it 

19  From  the  time  that  it  goeth 
forth  it  shall  take  you:  for 
morning  by  morning  shall  it 
pass  over,  by  day  and  by  night 
and  it  shall  be  a  vexation  only 
to  understand  the  report 

20  For  the  bed  is  snorter  than 
that  a  man  can  stretch  himself 
on  it:  and  the  covering  nar- 
rower than  that  he  can  wrap 
himself  in  it 

21  For  the  Lord  shall  rise  up 
as  in  mount  PeVa-rim,  he  shaft 
be  wroth  as  in  the  valley  of 
Glb'e-on,  that  he  may  do  his 
work,  his  strange  work;  and 
bring  to  pass  his  act,  his  strange 
act 

22  Now  therefore  be  ye  not 
mockers,  lest  your  bands  be 
made  strong :  for  I  have  heard 
from  the  Lord  God  of  hosts  a 
consumption,  even  determined 


voice;  hearken,  and  hear  my 
speech. 

24  Doth  the  plowman  plow  all 
day  to  sow?  doth  he  open  and 
break  the  clods  of  his  ground? 

25  When  he  hath  made  plain 
the  face  thereof,  doth  he  not 
cast  abroad  the  fitches,  and 
scatter  the  cummin,  and  cast  in 
the  principal  wheat  and  the  ap- 
pointed barley  and  the  rie  in 
their  place? 

26  For  his  God  doth  instruct 
him  to  discretion,  and  doth 
teach  him. 

27  For  the  fitches  are  not 
threshed  with  a  threshing  in- 
strument, neither  is  a  cart  wheel 
turned  about  upon  the  cummin ;

CHAPTER  29 

God's  judgment  upon  Jerusalem,  17 
A  promise  of  better  things  in  suc- 
ceeding times. 

WOE  to  A'ri-el,  to  A'ri-el  the 
city  where  D&'vid  dwelt ! 
add  ye  year  to  year;  let  them 
kill  sacrifices. 

2  Yet  I  will  distress  A'ri-el, 
and  there  shall  be  heaviness 
and  sorrow:  and  it  shall  be 
unto  me  as  A'ri-eL 

3  And  I  will  camp  against  thee 
round  about,  and  will  lay  siege 
against  thee  with  a  mount,  and 
I  will  raise  forts  against  thee. 

4  And  thou  shalt  be  brought 
down,  and  shalt  speak  out  of 
the  ground,  and  thy  speech 
shall  be  low  out  of  the  dust,  and 
thy  voice  shall  be,  as  of  one 
that  hath  a  familiar  spirit,  out 
of  the  ground,  and  thy  speech 
shall  whisper  out  of  the  dust 

5  Moreover  the  multitude  of 
thy  strangers  shall  be  like  small 
dust,  and  the  multitude  of.  the 
terrible  ones  shall  be  as  chaff 
that  paaseth  away :  yea,  it  shall 
be  at  an  instant  suddenly. 

6  Thou  shalt  be  visited  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts  with  thunder, 
and  with  earthquake,  and  great 
noise,  with  storm  and  tempest, 
and  the  flame  of  devouring  fire. 

7  And  the  multitude  of  all  the 
nations  that  fight  against  A'ri- 
el,  even  all  that  fight  against 
her  and  her  munition,  and  that 
distress  her,  shall  be  as  a  dream 
of  a  night  vision. 

8  It  shall  even  be  as  when  an 
hungry  man  dreameth,  and,  be* 
hold,  he  eateth;  but  he  awak- 
eth,  and  his  soul  is  empty :  or 
as  when  a  thirsty  man  dream- 
eth, and,  behold,  he  drinketh ; 
but  he  awaketh,  and,  behold,  he 
is  faint,  and  his  soul  hath  ap- 
petite: so  shall  the  multitude 
of  all  the  nations  be,  that  fight 

Tinst  mount  Zl'5n. 
tStay  yourselves,  and  won- 
der; cry  ye  out,  and  cry:  they 
are  drunken,  but  not  with  wine ; 
they  stagger,  but  not  with 
strong  drink. 

10  For  the  Lord  hath  poured 
out  upon  you  the  spirit  of  deep 


Ies: 
era, 


sleep,  and  hath  closed  your  ey< 
the  prophets  and  your  rule 
the  seers  hath  he  covered 

11  And  the  vision  of  all  is  be- 
come unto  you  as  the  words  of 
a  book  that  is  sealed,  which 
men  deliver  to  one  that  is  learn- 
ed, saying.  Read  this,.  I  pray 
thee:  and  he  saith,  I  cannot; 
for  it  is  sealed: 

12  And  the  book  is  delivered 
to  him  that  is  not  learned,  say- 
ing, Read  this,  I  pray  thee :  and 
he  saith,  I  am  not  learned. 

13  Wherefore  the  Lord  said. 
Forasmuch  as  this  people  draw 
near  me  with  their  mouth,  and 
with  their  lips  do  honour  me, 
but  have  removed  their  heart 
far  from  me,  and  their  fear 
toward  me  is  taught  by  the 
precept  of  men: 

14  Therefore,  behold,  I  will 
proceed  to  do  a  marvellous  work 
among  this  people,  even  a  mar- 
vellous work  and  a  wonder:  for 
the  wisdom  of  their  wise  men 
shall  perish,  and  the  under- 
standing of  their  prudent  men 
shall  be  hid. 

15  Woe  unto  them  that  seek 
deep  to  hide  their  counsel  from 
the  Lord,  and  their  works  are 
in  the  dark,  and  they  say,  Who 
seeth  us?  and  who  knoweth  us? 

16  Surely  your  turning  of 
things  upside  down  shall  be 
esteemed  as  the  potter's  clay : 
for  shall  the  work  say.  of  him 
that  made  it,  He  made  me  not? 
or  shall  the  thing  framed  say 
of  him  that  framed  it,  He  had 
no  understanding? 

17  t/a  it  not  yet  a  very 
little  while,  and  LeVa-non  shall 
be  turned  into  a  fruitful  field, 
and  the  fruitful  field  shall  be 
esteemed  as  a  forest  ? 

18  And  in  that  day  shall  the 
deaf  hear  the  words  of  the 
book,  and  the  eves  of  the  blind 
shall  see  out  of  obscurity,  and 
out  of  darkness. 

19  The  meek  also  shall  in- 
crease their  joy  in  the  Lord, 
and  the  poor  among  men  shall 
rejoice  in  the  Holy  One  of  Is'- 
ra-eL 

20  For  the  terrible  one  is 
brought  to  nought,  and  the 
scorner  is  consumed,  and  all  that 
watch  for  iniquity  are  cut  off: 

21  That  make  a  man  an 
offender  for  a  word,  and  lay  a 
snare  for  him  that  reproveth 
in  the  gate,  and  turn  aside  the 
just  for  a  thing  of  nought. 

22  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  who  redeemed  A'brfi- 
ham,  concerning  the  house  of 
Ja'cob,  Jacob  shall  not  now  be

CHAPTER  30 

The  people  threatened  for  their  con- 
fident in  Egypt,  8  and  contempt 
of  God's  word.  18  Hie  mercy  to 
the   church.     27    Pestruetion  of 

Se  to  the  rebellious  chil 
dren,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  take  counsel,  but  not  of 
me ;  and  that  cover  with  a  cov- 
ering, but  not  of  my  spirit,  that 
they  may  add  sin  to  sm : 

2  That  walk  to  go  down  into 
&'&ypt>  an^  have  not  asked 
at  my  mouth;  to  strengthen 
themselves  in  the  strength  of 
Ph&'raOh,  and  to  trust  m  the 
shadow  of  E'&ypt! 

3  Therefore  shall  the  strength 
of  Phfi'radh  be  your  shame,;  and 
the  trust  in  the  shadow  of 
E'gfpt  your  confusion. 

4  For  his  princes  were  at  Z&< 
an,  and  his  ambassadors  came 
to  Hfi'nes. 

5  They  were  all  ashamed  of 
a  people  that  could  not  profit 
them,  nor  be  an  help  nor  profit, 
but  a  shame,  and  also  a  re- 
proach. 

6  The  burden  of  the  beasts 
of  '  the  south :  into  the  land 
of  trouble  and  anguish,  from 
whence  come  the  young  and 
old  lion,  the  viper  and  fiery 
flying  serpent,  they  will  carry 
their  riches  upon  the  shoulders 
of  young  asses,  and  their  treas- 
ures upon  the  bunches  of  cam- 
els, to  a  people  that  shall  not 
profit  them. 

7  For  the  S-fcfp'tians.  shall 
help  in  vain,  and  to  no  pur- 
pose: therefore  have  I  cried 
concerning  this;  Their  strength 
is  to  sit  still. 

i5  1TNow  go,  write  it  before 
them  in  a  table,  and  note  it  in 
a  book,  that  it  may  be*  for  the 
time  to  come  for  ever  and  ever: 

9  That  this  is  a  rebellious 
-e,    lying    children,    chil- 


en1  that  will  not  hear  the 
law  of  the  Lord: 
10  Which  say  to  the  seers, 
See  not;  and  to  the  prophets, 
Prophesy  not  unto  us  right 
things,  speak  unto  us  smooth 
things,  prophesy  deceits: 


11  Get  you  out  of  the  way, 
turn  aside  out  of  the  path, 
cause  the  Holy  One  of  Israel 
to  cease  from  before  us. 

12  Wherefore  thus  saith  the 
Holy  One  of  Ig'ra-el,  Because 
ye  despise  this  word,  and  trust 
in  oppression  and  perverse- 
riess,  and  stay  thereon: 

13  Therefore  this  iniquity 
shall  be  to  you  as  a  breach 
ready  to  fall,  swelling  out  in 
a  high  wall,  whose  breaking 
cometh  suddenly  at  an  instant 

14  And  he  shall  break  it  as 
the  breaking  of  the  potters' 
vessel  that  is  broken  in  pieces; 
he  shall  not  spare:  so  that 
there  shall  not  be  found  in 
the  bursting  of  it  a  sherd  to  take 
fire  from  the  hearth,  or  to  take 
water  withal  out  of  the  pit 

15  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God,  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el ; 
In  returning  and  rest  shall  ye 
be  saved;  in  quietness  and 
in  confidence  shall  be  your 
strength :  and  ye  would  not 

16  But  ye  said,  No;  for  we 
will  flee  upon  horses;  there 
fore  shall  ye  flee:  and,  We 
will  ride  upon  the  swift; 
therefore  shall  they  that  pur- 
sue you  be  swift 

17  One  thousand  shall  flee 
at  the  rebuke  of  one;  at  the 
rebuke  of  five  shall  ye  flee:  till 
ye  be  left  as  a  beacon  upon  the 
top  of  a  mountain,  and  as  an  en- 
sign on  an  hill. 

18  And  therefore  will  the 
Lord  wait  that  he  may  be 
gracious  unto  you,  and  there- 
fore will  he  be  exalted,  that  he 
may  have  mercy  upon  you:  for 
the  Lord  is  a  God  of  judgment : 
blessed  are  all  they  that  wait 
for  him. 

19  IT  For  the  people  shall 
dwell  in  Zf"5n  at  JS-ru's&-lem : 
thou  shalt  weep  no  more:  he 
will  be  very  gracious  unto  thee 
at  the  voice  of  thy  cry;  when 
he  shall  hear  it  he  will  answer 
thee. 

20  And  though  the  Lord  give 
you  the  bread  of  adversity,  and 
the  water  of  affliction,  yet  shall 
not  thy  teachers  be  removed  in- 
to a  corner  any  more,  but  thine 
eves  shall  see  thy  teachers: 

21  And  thine  ears  shall  hear 
a  word  behind  thee,  saying,  This 
is  the  way,  walk  ye  in  it  when 
ye  turn  to  the  right  hand,  and 
when  ye  turn  to  the  left 

22  Ye  shall  defile  also  the 
covering  of  thy  graven  images 
of  silver,  and  the  ornament  of 
thy  molten  images  of  gold :  thou 
shalt  cast  them  away  as  a  men-

23  Then  shall  he  give  the 
rain  of  thy  seed,  that  thou  shalt 
sow  the  ground  withal;  and 
bread  of  the  increase  of  the 
earth,  and  it  shall  be  fat  and

young  asses  that  ear  the  ground 
shall  eat  clean  provender,  which 
hath  been  winnowed  with  the 
shovel  and  with  the  fan. 

25  And  there  shall  be  upon 
every  hijyh  mountain,  and  upon 
every  high  hill,  rivers  and 
streams  of  waters  in  the  day  of 
the  great  slaughter,  when  the 
towers  fall. 

26  Moreover  the  light  of  the 
moon  shall  be  as.  the  light

day  that  the  Lord  bindeth  up 
the  breach  of  his  people,  and 
healeth  the  stroke  of  their 
wound. 

27  f  Behold,  the  name  of  the 
Lord  cometh  from  far,  burning 
with  his  anger,  and  the  burden 
thereof  is  heavy :  his  lips  are 
full  of  indignation,  and  his 
tongue  as  a  devouring  fire: 

28  And  his  breath,  as  an 
overflowing  stream,  shall  reach 
to  the  midst  of  the  neck,  to  sift 
the  nations  with  the  sieve  of 
vanity:  and  there  shall  be  a 
bridle  in  the  jaws  of  the  people, 
causing  them  to  err. 

29  Ye  shall  have  a  song,  as 
in  the  night  when  a  holy 
solemnity  is  kept;  and  gladness 
of .  heart,  as  when  one  goeth 
with  a  pipe  to  come  into  the 
mountain  of  the  Lord,  to  the 
mighty  One  of  Is/ra-el. 

30  And  the  Loto  shall  cause 
his  glorious  voice  to  be  heard, 
and  shall  shew'  the  lighting 
down  of  his  arm,  with  the  indig- 
nation of  hi&  anger*,  and  with 
the  flame  of  a  devouring  fire, 
with  scattering,  and  tempest, 
and  hailstones.

CHAPTER  31 

FoUy  of  trusting  to  Egypt,  and  for- 
saking God. 

WOE  to  them  that  go 
down  to  E'jtfpt  for  help ; 
and  stay  on  horses,  and  trust 
in  chariots,  because  they  are 
many;  and  in  horsemen,  be- 
cause they  are  very  strong ;  but 
they  look  not  unto  the  Holy  One 
of  Is'ra-el,  neither  seek  the 
Lord! 

2  Yet  he  also  is  wise,  and  will 
bring  evil,  and  will  not  call  back 
his  words :  but  will  arise  against 
the  house  of  the  evildoers,  and 
against  the  help  of  them  that 
work  iniquity. 

3  Now  the  EWp'tians.  are 
men,  and  not  God;  and  their 
horses  flesh,  and  not  spirit. 
When  the  Lord  shall  stretch 
out  his  hand,  both  he  that 
helpeth  shall  fall,  and  he  that 
is  holpen  shall  fall  down,  and 
they  all  shall  fail  together. 

4  For  thus  hath  the  Lord 
spoken  unto  me,  Like  as  t}ie 
lion  and  the  young  lion  roaring 
on  his  prey,  when  a  multitude 
of  shepherds  is  called  forth 
against  him,  he  will  not  be 
afraid  of  their  voice,  nor  abase 
himself  for  the  noise  of  them : 
so  shall  the  Lord  of  hosts  come 
down  to  fight  for  mount  ZT5n; 
and  for  the  hill  thereof. 

5  As  birds  flying,  so'  will  the 
Lord  of  hosts  defend  J&-ru/si- 
lem ;  defending  also  he  will  de- 
liver it;  and  passing  over  he 
wiflpreserve  it. 

6  ITum  ye  unto  Mm  from 
whom  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
have  deeply  revolted. 

7  For  in  that  day  every  man 
shall  cast  away  his  idols  of 
silver,  and  his  idols  of  gold, 
which  your  own  hands  have 
made  unto  you  for  a  sin. 

8  Then  shall  the  As-sjrrlf-an 
fall  with  the  sword,  not  of  a 
mighty  man;  and  the  sword, 
not  of  a  mean  man,  shall  devour 
him :  but  he  shall  flee  from  the 
sword,  and  his  young  men  Shall 
be  discomfited. 

9  And  he  shall  pass  over  to 
his  strong  hold  for  fear,  and  his 
princes  shall  be  afraid  of  the 
ensign,  saith  the  Lord,  Whose 
fire  ts  in  Zi'on,'arid  his  furnace 
in  JeVru/sa-lem.

BEHOLD,  a  king  shall  reign 
in  righteousness,  and  prin- 
ces shall  rule  in  judgment 

2  And  a  man  shall  be  as  an 
hiding  place  from  the  wind, 
and  a  covert  from  the  tempest ; 
as  rivers  of  water  in  a  dry  place, 
as  the  shadow  of  a  great  rock 
in  a  weary  land. 

3  And  the  eyes  of  them  that 
see  shall  not  be  dim,  and  the 
ears  of  them  that  hear  shall 
hearken. 

4  The  heart  also  of  the  rash 
shall  understand  knowledge, 
and  the  tongue  of  the  stam- 
merers shall  be  ready  to  speak 
plainly. 

5  The  vile  person  shall  be  no 
more  called  liberal,  nor  the 
churl  said  to  be  bountiful. 

6  For  the  vile  person  will  speak 
villany,  and  his  heart  will  work 
iniquity,  to  practise  hyjpocrisy, 
and  to  utter  error  against  the 
Lord,  to  make  empty  the  soul 
of  the  hungry,  and  he  will  cause 
the  drink  of  the  thirsty  to  fail 

7  The  instruments  also  of  the 
churl  are  evil:  he  deviseth 
wicked  devices  to  destroy  the 
poor  with  lying  words,  even 
when  the  needy  speaketh  right 

8  But  the  liberaldeviseth liber- 
al things ;  and  by  liberal  things 
shall  he  stand. 

9  tRise  up,  ye  women  that 
are  at  ease;  hear  my  voice,  ye 
careless  daughters;  give  ear 
unto  my  speech. 

10  Many  days  and  years  shall 
ye  be  troubled,  ye  careless 
women :  for  the  vintage  shall 
fail,  the  gathering  shall  not 
come. 

11  Tremble,  ye  women  that 
are  at  ease;  be  troubled,  ye 
careless  ones:  strip  you,  and 
make  you  bare,  ana  gird  sack- 
cloth upon  your  loins. 

12  They  shall  lament  for  the 
teats,  for  the  pleasant  fields,  f or 
the  fruitful  vine. 

13  Upon  the  land  of  my  people 
shall  come  up  thorns  ana  Driers; 
yea,  upon  all  the  houses  of  joy 
xn  the  joyous  city : 

14  Because  the  palaces  shall 
be  forsaken;  the  multitude  of 
the  city  shall  be  left;  the  forts 
and  towers  shall  be  for  dens  for 
ever,  a  joy  of  wild  asses,  a 
pasture  of  nocks ; 

15  Until  the  spirit  be  poured 
upon  us  from  on  high,  and  the 
wilderness  be  a  fruitful  field, 
and  the  fruitful  field  be  counted 
for  a  forest 

16  Then  judgment  shall  dwell 
in  the  wilderness,  and  righteous- 
ness remain  in  the  fruitful  field. 


17  And  the  work  of  righteous- 
ness shall  be  peace;  and  the 
effect  of  righteousness  quiet- 
ness and  assurance  for  ever. 

18  And  my  people  shall  dwell 
in  a  peaceable  habitation,  and 
in  sure  dwellings,  and  in  quiet 
resting  places; 

19  When  it  shall  hail,  coming 
down  on  the  forest;  and  the 
city  shall  be  low  in  a  low  place. 

20  Blessed  are  ye  that  sow 
beside  all  waters,  that  send 
forth  thither  the  feet  of  the 
ox  and  the  ass. 

CHAPTER  33 

GctV*  judgments  against  the  snsmies 
cf  the  church, 

WOE  to  thee  that  spoilest, 
and  thou  wast  not  spoiled; 
and  dealest  treacherously,  and 
they  dealt  not  treacherously 
with  thee!  when  thou  shaft 
cease  to  spoil,  thou  shalt  be 
spoiled;  and  when  thou  shalt 
make  an  end  to  deal  treacher- 
ously, they  shall  deal  treacher- 
ously with  thee. 

2  0  Lord,  be  gracious  unto 
us;  we  have  waited  for  thee: 
be  thou  their  arm  every  morn- 
ing, our  salvation  also  in  the 
time  of  trouble. 

3  At  the  noise  of  the  tumult 
the  people  fled;  at  the  lifting 
up  of  thyself  the  nations  were 
scattered. 

4  And  your  spoil  shall  be  gath- 
ered like  the  gathering  of  the 
caterpiller:  as  the  running  to 
and  fro  of  locusts  shall  he  run 
upon  them. 

5  The  Lord  is  exalted ;  for  he 
dwelleth  on  high :  he  hath  filled 
Zi'dn  with  judgment  and  right- 
eousness. 

6  And  wisdom  and  knowledge 
shall  be  the  stability  of  thy 
times,  and  strength  of  salva- 
tion: the  fear  of  the  Lord  is 
his  treasure. 

7  Behold,  their  valiant  ones 
shall  cry  without:  the  ambas- 
sadors of  peace  shall  weep  bit- 
terly. 

8  The  highways  lie  waste, 
the  wayfaring  man  ceaseth :  he 
hath  broken  the  covenant  he 
hath  despised  the  cities,  he  re- 
gardeth  no  man. 

9  The  earth  mourneth  and  Ian 
guisheth:  LeVa-non  is  ashamed 
and  hewn  down :  Shlrtm  is  like 
a  wilderness;  and  B&'sh&n  and 
C&rtnel  shake  off  their  fruits. 

10  ITNow  will  I  rise,  saith  the 
Lord;  now  will  I  be  exalted; 
now  will  I  lift  up  myself. 

11  Ye  shall  conceive  chaff,  ye 
shall  bring  forth  stubble:  your 
breath,  as  fire,  shall  devour  you.

12  And  the  people  shall  be  as 
the  burnings  of  lime:  a*  thorns 
cut  up  shall  they  be  burned  in 
the  fire. 

13  Wear,  ye  that  are  far  off, 
what  I  have  done;  and,  ye 
that  are  near,  acknowledge  my 
might 

14  The  sinners  in  ZfBn  are 
afraid;  fearfnlness  hath  sur- 
prised the  hypocrites.  Who 
among  us  shall  dwell  with  the 
devouring  fire?  who  among  us 
shall  dwell  with  everlasting 
burnings? 

15  He  that  walketh  right- 
eously, and  speaketh  upright- 
ly; he  that  despiseth  the  gain 
of  oppressions,  that  shaketh  his 
hands  from  holding  of  bribes, 
that  stoppeth  his  ears  from 
hearing  of  blood,  and  shutteth 
his  eyes  from  seeing  evil ; 

16  He  shall  dwell  on  high :  his 
place  of  defence  shall  be  the 
munitions  of  rocks :  bread  shall 
be  given  him ;  his  waters  shall 
be  sure. 

17  Thine  eyes  shall  see  the 
king  in  his  beauty:  they  shall 
behold  the  land  that  is  very  far 
off. 

18  Thine  heart  shall  meditate 
terror.  Where  is  the  scribe? 
where  is  the  receiver?  where 
is  he  that  counted  the  towers? 

19  Thou  shalt  not  see  a  fierce 
people,  a  people  of  a  deeper 
speech  than  thou  canst  per- 
ceive ;  of  a  stammering  tongue, 
that  thou  canst  not  under- 
stand. 

20  Look  upon  ZHra,  the  city 
of  our  solemnities:  thine  eyes 
shall  see  J$-ru>a>lem  a  quiet 
habitation,  a  tabernacle  that 
shall  not  be  taken  down;  not 
one  of  the  stakes  thereof  shall 
ever  be  removed,  neither  shall 
any  of  the  cords  thereof  be 
broken. 

21  But  there  the  glorious 
Lord  wUl  be  unto  us  a  place 
of  broad  rivers  and  streams; 
wherein  shall  go  no  galley  with 
oars,  neither  shall  gallant  ship 
pass  thereby. 

22  For  the  Lord  is  our  judge, 
the  Lord  is  our  lawgiver,  the 
Lord  is  our  king;  he  will  save 
us. 

23  Thy  tacklings  are  loosed; 
they  could  not  well  strengthen 
their  mast,  they  could  not  spread 
the  sail :  then  is  the  prey  of  a 
great  spoil  divided;  the  lame 
take  the  prey. 

24  And  the  inhabitant  shall 
not  say,  I  am  sick:  the  people 
that  dwell  therein  shall  be  for- 
given their  iniquity. 


CHAPTER  34 

Judgments  wherewith  God  avenges 
hie  church,  16  The  certainty  o/  the 
prophecy. 

COMB  near,  ye  nations,  to 
hear;  and  hearken,  ye  peo- 
ple :  let  the  earth  hear,  and  all 
that  is  therein ;  the  world,  and 
all  things  that  come  forth  of  it 

2  For  the  indignation  of  the 
Lord  is  upon  all  nations,  and 
his  fury  upon  all  their  armies: 
he  hath  utterly  destroyed  them, 
he  hath  delivered  them  to  the 
slaughter. 

3  Their  slain  also  shall  be  cast 
out,  and  their  stink  shall  come 
up  out  of  their  carcases,  and 
the  mountains  shall  be  melted 
with  their  blood. 

4  And  all  the  host  of  heaven 
shall  be  dissolved,  and  the  heav- 
ens shall  be  rolled  together  as 
a  scroll :  and  all  their  host  shall 
fall  down,  as  the  leaf  falleth  off 
from  the  vine,  and  as  a  falling 
fig  from  the  fig  tree. 

5  For  my  sword  shall  be 
bathed  in  heaven:  behold,  it 
shall  come  down  upon  1-du- 
mS'a,  and  upon  the  people  of 
my  curse,  to  judgment 

6  The  sword  of  the  Lord  is 
filled  with  blood,  it  is  made  fat 
with  fatness,  and  with  the  blood 
of  lambs  and  goats,  with  the  fat 
of  the  kidneys  of  rams :  for  the 
Lord  hath  a  sacrifice  in  B6V- 
rah,  and  a  great  slaughter  in 
the  land  of  iHdu-mS'a, 

7  And  the  unicorns  shall  come 
down  with  them,  and  the  bul- 
locks with  the  bulls;  and  their 
land  shall  be  soaked  with  blood, 
and  their  dust  made  fat  with 
fatness. 

8  For  U  is  the  day  of  the 
Lord's  vengeance,  ana  the  year 
of  recompencea  for  the  contro- 
versy of  Zi'dn. 

9  And  the  streams  thereof  shall 
be  turned  into  pitch,  and  the 
dust  thereof  into  brimstone, 
and  the  land  thereof  shall  be- 
come burning  pitch. 

10  It  shall  not  be  quenched 
night  nor  day ;  the  smoke  there- 
of shall  go  up  for  ever:  from 

generation  to  generation  it  shall 
e    waste;    none    shall    pass 
through  it  for  ever  and  ever. 

11  But  the  cormorant  and  the 
bittern  shall  possess  it;  the  owl 
also  and  the  raven  shall  dwell 
in  it:  and  he  shall  stretch  out 
upon  it  the  line  of  confusion, 
and  the  stones  of  emptiness. 

12  They  shall  call  the  nobles 
thereof  to  the  kingdom,  but 
none  shall  be  there,  and  all 
her  princes  shall  be  nothing.

to  th$  swpfe. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
fourteenth  year,  of  king 
He*e-ki'nh,  that  Sen-nach'e-rfh 
king  '  of  As*yrl-a.  came  •  up 
against  all  the  defenced  cities 
of  Ju'dah,  and  took  them. 

2  And  the  king  of  As*  jfr%a 
sent  Rfib'sha-keh  from  Lft'chiah 
to  J&ru'sjUeni  unto  king  H&e- 
ki'ah  with  a  great  army*.  And 
he  stood  by  the  .conduit  of  the 
upper  pool  in  the  highway,  of 
the  fulWs  field. 

3  Then  came  forth  unto  him 
fi-lTaJdm,  Hil-kf ah's  son,  which 
waa  over  the  house,  and  SheVaa 
the  scribe,  and  Jd'ah,  A'saph's 
son,  the  recorder. 

4  And  Rfib'sha-keh  said  unto 
them.  Say  ye  now  to  Hez-e-ki'ah, 
Thus  saith  the  great  king,  the 
king  of  As-syrl-a,  What  confi- 
dence ta  this  wherein  thou 
trustest? 

5  1  say,  say  eat.  thou,  (but 
they  are  but  vain  words)  I  have 
counsel  and  strength  for  wax.: 
now  on  whom  dost  thou. trust, 
that  thou  rebeUest  against  me  7 

6  Lo,  thou  trustest  In  the  staff 
of  this  broken  reed,  on  £VgjFpt ; 
whereon  if  a  man  .Lean,  it  will 
go  into  his  hand,  and  pierce  k 
so  is  Pha'caSh  king  of  £'gjrpt 
to  all  that  trust  in  him. 

7  But  if  thou  say  to  me,  We 
trust  in  the  Lord  our  God:  is  U 
not  he,  whose  high  places  and 
whose  altars  Hez-e*ki'ah  hath 
taken  away;  and  aaid  to  Ju'dah 
and  to  J&*u/sa-lem,  Ye  shall 
worship  before  this  altar? 

8  Now  therefore  give  pledges, 
I  pray  thee,  to  my  master  the 
king  of  Afrajfrl-a,  and  I  will  give 
thee  two  thousand  horses,  if 
thou  be  able  on  thy  part  to  set

10  And  am  I  now  come  up 
without  the  Lord  against  this 
land  to,  destroy  it?  the  Lord 
said  unto  me,  Go. up  against 
this  land,  and  destroy  it 

11  Then  said  E-li'a-kIm  and 
SheVna  and  Jd'ah  unto  RaV- 
sha-keh,.  Speak,  I  pray  thee,  un- 
to thy  servants  in  the  Sjhrl-en 
language;  for  we  understand 
it ;  and  speak  not  to  us  in  the 
Jewg'  language,  in  the  ears  of 
the  people  that  are  on  the  wall. 

12  But  R&h'sha-keh  said.  Hath 
my  master  sent  me  to  thy  mas- 
ter and  to  thee  to. apeak  these 
words?  hath  he  not  sent  me  to 
the  men  that  sit  upon  the  wall, 
that  they  may  eat  their  own 
dung,  and  drink  their  own  piss 
with  you? 

13  Then  Rfib'sha-keh  stood, 
and  cried  with  a  loud  voice  is 
the  Jews/  language,  and  said, 
Hear  ye  the  words  of  the  great 
king,  the  king  of  As-sfrl-a. 

14  thus  saith  the  king,  Let 
not  HSs-e-ki'ah  deceive  you: 
for  he  shall  not  be  able  to  de- 
liver you. 

15  Neither  let  He*e4a'ah 
make  you  trust  in  the  Lord, 
saying,  The  Lord  will  surely 
deliver  us:  this  city  shall  not 
be  delivered  into  the  hand  of 
the  king  of  Aa-s^rl-a. 

16  Hearken  not  to  He&e-ki'ah : 
for  thus  saith  the  king  of  As- 
sjrrl-a,  Make  an  agreement 
with  me  by  a  present,  and  come 
out. to  me:  and  eat  ye  every 
one  of  his  vine,  and  every  one 
of  his  fig  tree,  and  drink  ye 
every  one  the  waters  ot  his  own 
cistern ; 

17  Until  I  come  and  take  you 
awav  to  a  land  like  your  own 
land,  a  land,  of  corn  and  wine, 
a  land  of  bread  and  vineyards* 

IB  Beware  lest  He*e4a'ah 
persuade  you,  saying,  The  Lord 
will  deliver  us.  Hath  any  of 
the  gods  of  the  nations  deliv- 
ered his  land  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  king  of  As^r/M? 

19  Where  are  the  gods  of 
Hfi'math  and  Ar'phad?  where 
are  the  gods  of  Sephrar-vfi'ixn? 
and  have  they  delivered  Si-ma'* 
ri-a  out  of  my  hand?    . 

20  Who  are  they  among  all 
the  gods  pf  these  lands,  that 
have  delivered  their  land  out  of 
my  hand,  that  the  Lord  should 
deliver  J&ru's$-lem  out  of  my 
hand? 

21  But  they  held  their  peace, 
and  answered  him  not  a  word 


for  the  king's  commandment 
was,  saying,  Answer  him  not 
22  Then,  came  E-U'a-kim,  the 
son  of  Hll-ki'ah,  that  was  over 
the  household,  and  ShSb'na  the 
scribe,  and  Jd'ah,  the  son  of 
A'saph,  the  recorder,  to  Hez-e* 
kfak  with  their  clothes  rent, 
and  told  him  the  words  of  RaV- 
sha-keh. 

CHAPTER  37 

Hezekiah,  in  deep  affliction,  tend*  to 
Isaiah  to  pray  for  them.    6  Isaiah 
comforts  them.    36  An  angel  < 
etroys  the  Assyriane. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when 
king  Hfo~e-ki'ah  heard  ft, 
that  he  rent  his  clothes,  and 
covered  himself  with  sackcloth, 
and  went  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord. 

2  And  he  sent  £-H'a*kIm,  who 
was  over  the  household*  and 
SheVna  the  scribe,  and  the  eld- 
ers of  the  priests .  covered  with 
sackcloth,  unto  I-sfi'iah  the 
prophet  the  son  of  A'mSs. 

3  And  they  said  unto  him, 
Thus  saith  He*e-kf 'ah,  This  day 
is  a  day  of  trouble,  and  of  re* 
buke,  and  of  blasphemy:  for 
the  children  are  come  to  the 
birth,  and  there  is  not  strength 
to  bring  forth. 

4  It  may  be  the  Lord  thy 
God  will  hear  the  words  of 
RaVsha-keh,  whom  the  king. of 
As-sJrT-a  his  master  hath  sent 
to  reproach  the  living  God,  and 
will  reprove  the  Words  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  heard: 
wherefore  lift  up  thy  prayer  for 
the  remnant  that  is  left 

5  So  the  servants  of  king  Hez- 
e-ki'ah  came  to  I-ga'iah. 

6  And  I-s&'iah  said  unto  them. 
Thus  shall  ye  say  unto  your 
master,  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Be  not  afraid  of  the  words  that 
thou  hast  heard,  wherewith  the 
servants  of  the  king  of  As-syrl-a 
have  blasphemed  me. 

7  Behold,  I  will  send  a  blast 
upon  him,  and  he  shall  hear  a 
rumour,  and  return  to  his  own 
land;  and  I  will  cause  him  to 
fall  by  the  sword  in.  his  own 
land. 

8  IF  So  R&b'sha-keh  returned, 
and  found  the  king  of  As-syrl-a 
warring;  against  Lib'nah:  for 
he  had  heard  that  he. was  de- 
parted from  Lfi'chish. 

9  And  he  heard  say  concern- 
ing Tir'ha-kah  king  of  £-thl- 
6'pi-a,  He  is  come  forth  to  make 
war  .with  thee.  And  when  he 
heard  it,  he  sent  messengers  to 
Hez-e-ki'ah,  saying, 

10  Thus  shall  ye  speak  to  Hes-

frustest,  deceive  thee,  saying, 
J&ru'sa-lem  shall  not  be  given 
into 'the  hand  of  the  king  of 
As-sjrrl-a. 

11  Behold,  thou  hast  heard 
what  the  kings  of  As-s^rl-a 
have  done  to  all  lands  by  de- 
stroying them  utterly;  and 
shaft  thou  be  delivered? 

12  Have  the  gods  of  the  na- 
tions delivered  them  which  my 
fathers  have  destroyed,  cur  G5'- 
zan,  and  Ha'ran,  and  Re'zeph, 
and  the  children  of  ffden 
which  were  in  T&aYsar  ? 

13  Where  is  the  king  of  Ha- 
math,  and  the  king  of  Ar/phad, 
and  the  king  of  the  city  of 
Seph-ar-vfi'im,  He'na,  and  l'vah  ? 

14  t  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  received 
the  letter  from  the  hand  of 
the  messengers,  and  read  it: 
and  Hez-e-ki'ah  went  up  unto 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and 
spread  it  before  the  Lord. 

15  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  prayed  un- 
to the  Lord,  saying, 

16  O  Lord  of  hosts,  God  of 
Ig'ra-el,  that  dwellest  between 
the  cherubitns,  thou  art  the 
God,  even  thou  alone,  of  all  the 
kingdoms  of  the  earth:  thou 
hast  made  heaven  and  earth. 

17  Incline  thine  ear,  0  Lord, 
and  hear;  open  thine  eyes,  O 
Lord,  and  see:  and  hear  all 
the  words  of  Sfcn-nach'e-rfb, 
which  hath  sent  to  reproach 
the  living  God.  ' 

18  Of  a  truth,  Lord,  the  kings 
of  As-ajhrt-a  have  laid  waste  all 
the  nations,  and  their  countries, 

19  And  have  cast  their  gods 
into  the  fire:  for  they  were  no 

ds,  but  the  work  of  men's 
rods,  wood  and  stone :  there- 
fore they  have  destroyed  them, 

20  Now  therefore,  0  Lord 
our  God,  save  us  from  his  hand, 
that  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
earth  may  know  that  thou  art 
the  Lord,  even  thou  only. 

21  IT  Then  L&riah  the  son  of 
A'mdz  sent  unto  Hez-e-ki'ah, 
saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Is/ra-el,  Whereas  thou 
hast  prayed  to  me  against  Sen* 
nfich  e-rib  king  of  As-syrK-a  : 

22  This  is  the  word  which  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  concerning 
him ;  The  virgin,  the  daughter 
of  Zi'6n,  hath  despised  thee, 
and  laughed  thee  to  scorn ;  the 
daughter  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  hath 
shaken  her  head  at  thee. 

23  Whom  hast  thou  reproached 
and  blasphemed?  and  against 
whom  hast  thou  exalted  thy 


on   high?    even   against 
Holy  One  of  ls/ra-eL 


24  By  thy  servants  hast  thou 
reproached  the  Lord,  and  hast 
said,  By  the  multitude  of  my 
chariots  am  I  come  up  to  the 
height  of  the  mountains,  to  the 
sides  of  LeVa-non;  and  I  will 
cut  down  the  tall  cedars  there- 
of, and  the  choice  fir  trees 
thereof:  and  I  will  enter  into 
the  height  Of  his  border,  and 
the  forest  of  his  CaVmeL 

25  I  have  digged,  and  drunk 
water;  and  with  the  sole  of 
my  feet  have  I  dried  up  all  the 
rivers  of  the  besieged  places. 

26  Hast  thou  not  heard  long 
ago,  how  I  have  done  it;  ana 
of  ancient  times,  that  I  have 
formed  it?  now  have  I  brought 
it  to  pass,  that  thou  shouldest 
be  to  lay  waste  defenced  cities 
into  ruinous  heaps. 

27  Therefore  their  inhabitants 
were  of  small  power,  they  were 
dismayed  and  confounded :  they 
were  as  the  grass  of  the  field, 
and  as  the  green  herb,  as  the 
grass  on  the  housetops,  and  as 
corn  blasted  before  it  be  grown 
up. 

28  But  I  know  thy  abode,  and 
thy  going  out,  and  thy  coming 
in,  and  thy  rage  against  me. 

29  Because  thy  rage  against 
me,  and  thy  tumult,  is  come  up 
into  mine  ears,  therefore  will  1 
put  my  hook  in  thy  nose,  and 
my  bridle  in  thy  lips,  and  I  will 
turn  thee  back  by  the  way  by 
which  thou  earnest 

30  And  this  shall  be  a  si 
unto  thee,  Ye  shall  eat  this 
year  such  as  groweth  of  itself ; 
and  the  second  year  that  which 
springeth  of  the  same:  and  in 
the  third  year  sow  ye,  and  reap, 
and  plant  vineyards,  and  eat  the 
fruit  thereof. 

31  And  the  remnant  that  is 
escaped  of  the  house  of  Ju'dah 
shall  again  take  root  downward, 
and  bear  fruit  upward : 

32  For  out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem'shall 
go  forth  a  remnant,  and  they 
that  escape  out  of  mount  Zi'dn : 
the  zeal  of  the  Lord  of  hosts 
shall  de  this. 

33  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  concerning  the  king  of 
As-ayrf-a,  He  shall  not  come 
into  this  city,  nor  shoot  an  ar- 
row there,  nor  come  before  it 
with  shields,  nor  cast  a  bank 
against  it

and  shall  not  come  into  this 
city,  saith  the  Lord.

Lord  went  forth*  and  smote  in 
the  camp  of  the  As-sjhrl-ana  a 
hundred  and  fourscore  and  five 
thousand:  and  when  they  arose 
early  in  the  morning,  behold, 
they  were  all  dead  corpses. 

37  So  Sen-nftch'e-rib  king  of 
As-sjhrl-a  departed,  and  went 
and  returned,  and  dwelt  at 
Nln'e-veh. 

38  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
he.  was  worshipping  in  the 
house  of  NIs'rdch  his  god,  that 
A-dram'me-lech  and  Sh2-re'z$r 
his  sons  smote  him  with  the

in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  38 

Hezekiah'e  life  lengthened.    9  Hie 
thanksgiving. 

IN  those  days  was  Hez-e-ki'ah 
sick  unto  death.  And  I-aa'- 
iah  the  prophet  the  son  of 
A'mdz  came  unto  him,  and  said 
unto  him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Set  thine  house  in  order:  for 
thou  shalt  die,  and  not  live. 

2  Then  He&e-ki'ah  turned  his 
face  toward  the  frail,  and  prayed 
unto  the  Lord, 

3  And  said,  Remember  now, 

0  Lord,  I  beseech  thee,  how 

1  have  walked  before  thee  in 
truth  and  with  a  perfect  heart, 
and  have  done  that  which  is 

in  thy  sight    And  HSx-e- 
i'ah  wept  sore. 

4  Then  came  the  word  of  the 
Lord  to  I-fii'iah,  saying, 

5  Go,  and  say  to  Hes-e-ki'ah, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  Dft'vid  thy  father,  I  have 
heard  thy  prayer;  I  have  seen 
thy  tears:  behold,  I  will  add 
unto  thy  days  fifteen  years. 

6  And  I  will  deliver  thee  and 
this  city  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  As-syrl-a:  and  I  will 
defend  this  city. 

7  And  this  shall  be  a  sign  un- 
to thee  from  the  Lord,  that  the 
Lord  will  do  this  thing  that  he 
hath  spoken ; 

8  Behold,  I  will  bring  again  the 
shadow  of  the  degrees,  which  is 
gone  down  in  the  sun  dial  of 
ATife,  ten  degrees  backward. 
So  the  sun  returned  ten  de- 
grees, by  which  degrees  it  was 
gone  down. 

9  TThe  writing  of  Hez-e-kTah 
king  of  Jfi'dah,  when  he  had 
been  sick,  and  was  recovered 
of  his  sickness: 

10  I  said  in  the  cutting  off  of 
my  days,  I  shall  go  to  the  gates 
of  the  grave :  I  am  deprived  of 
the  residue  of  my  years,' 


11  I  said,  I  shall  not  see  the 
Lord,  even  the  Lord,  in  the 
land  of  the  living:  I  shall  be- 
hold  man  no  more  with  the  in* 
habitants  of  the  world. 

12  Mine  age  is  departed,  and 
is  removed  from  me  as  a  shep- 
herd's tent:  I  have  cut  off  like 
a  weaver  my  life:  he  will  cut 
me  off  with  pining  sickness: 
from  day  even  to  night  wilt 
thou  make  an  end  of  me. 

13  I  reckoned  till  morning, 
that,  as  a  lion,  so  will  he  break 
all  my  bones:  from  day  even  to 
night  wilt  thou  make  an  end  of 
me. 

14  Like  a  crane  or  a  swallow, 
so  did  I  chatter:  I  did  mourn 
as  a  dove :  mine  eves  fail  with 
looking  upward :  O  Lord,  I  am 
oppressed ;  undertake  for  me. 

15  What  shall  I  say?  he  hath 
both  spoken  unto  me,  and  him- 
self  hath  done  it:  I  shall  go 
softly  all  my  years  in  the  bit- 
terness of  my  soul.  . 

16  0  Lord,  by  these  things 
men  live,  and  in  .all  these 
things  is  the  life  df  irijr  spirit: 
so  wilt  thou  recover  me,  and 
make  me  to  live. 

17  Behold,  for  peace  I  had 
great  bitterness:  but  thou  hast 
in  love  to  my  soul  delivered  it 
from  the  pit  of  corruption;  for 
thou  hast  cast  all;  my  sins  be- 
hind thy  back.  •' 

18  For  the  grave  cannot  praise 
thee,  death  can  no*  celebrate 
thee:  they  that  go  down  into 
the  pit  cannot  nope  for  thy 
truth. 

19  The  living,  the  living,  he 
shall  praise  thee,  as  I  do  this 
day :  tne  father  to  the  children 
shall  make  known  thy  truth. 

20  The  Lord  was  ready  to 
save  me:  therefore  we  will 
sing  my  songs  to  the  stringed 
instruments  all  the  days  of  our 
life  in  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

21  For  I-sfi'iah  had  said,  Let 
them  take  a  lump  of  figs,  and 
lay  it  for  a  plaister  upon  the 
boil,  and  he  shall  recovers 

22  Hez-e-ki'ah  also  had  said, 
What  is  the  sign  that  I  shall 
go  up  to  the  house  of  the  Lord? 

.    CHAPTER  3?       , 

Merodoch-balodan,  sending  to  visit 
Hexekiah,  hath  notice  of  hie  treas-

house  of  his  precious  things, 
the  silver*  and  the  gold,  and 
the  spices,  and  the  precious 
ointment,  and  all  the  house  of 
his  armour,  and  all  that  was 
found  in  his  treasures:  there 
was  nothing  in  his  house,  nor 
in  all  his  dominion,  that  Hfis-e- 
ki'ah  shewed  them  not. 

3  H  Then  came  I-aa'iah  the 
prophet  unto  king  HeWkTah, 
and  said  unto  him,  What  said 
these  men?  and  from  whence 
came  they  unto  thee?:  And 
Hez-e-ki'ah  said,  They  are  come 
from  a  far  country  unto  me, 
even  from  B&b'jMon. 

4  Then  said  he.  What  have 
they  seen  in  thine  house?  And 
H£&e-ki'ah  answered,  All  that 
is  in  mine  house  have  they 
seen:  there  is  nothing  among 
my  treasures  that  I  have  not 
shewed  them. 

5  Then  said  I*a1ah  to  Hfee- 
ki'ah,  Hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts: 

6  Behold,  the  days  come, 
that  all  that  is  .  in  thine 
house,  and  that .  which  thy  fa- 
thers have  laid  up  in  store  un- 
til thfe  day,  shall  be  carried  to 
Bab'y-lon :  nothing  shall  be  left, 
saith  the  LohD* 

7  And  of  thy  sons  that  shall 
issue  from  thee,  which  thou 
shalt  beget,  shall  they  take 
awav;  and  they  shall  be  eu- 
nuchs in  the  palace  of  the  king 
ofBab'jMon. 

8  Then  said  He*e»kl'ah  to 
I-sJLlah,  Good  is  the  word  of 
the  Lord  which  thou  hast  spo- 
ken. He  said  moreover,  For 
there,  shall:  be  peace  and  truth

Godsends  comfort  to  hie  people.  .3 
Preaching  of  John  Baptist.  12  Om- 

'  nipotence  of  God,  none  like  Aim, 
he  ffiveth  power  to  the  faint. 

COMFORT    ve,  comfort   ye 
my  people,    saith  •   your 
God. 

2  Speak  ye  comfortably  to 
J&cusaVlSm,  and  cry  unto  her, 
that  her  warfare  is  accom- 
plished, that  .her  iniquity  is 
pardoned :  for  she  hath  received 
of  the  Lord's  hand  double  for 
all  her  sins. 

3  IT  The  voice  of  him  that 
crieth  in  the  wilderness,  Pre- 
pare ye  the  way  of  the  Lohd, 
make  straight  in  the  desert  a 
highway  for  our  God. 

4  Every  valley  shall  be  < 
alted,  and  every  mountain  and 
hill  shall  be  made  low :  and  the 
crooked  shall  be  made  straight, 


and  the  rough  places  plain: 

5  And  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
shall  be  revealed,  and  all  flesh 
shall  see  it  together:  for  the 
mouth  of  the  Lord  hath  spoken 
it 

6  The  voice  said,  Cry.  And 
he  said,  What  shall  I  cry?  All 
flesh  is  grass,  and  all  the  good- 
liness  thereof  is  as  the  flower 
of  the  field: 

7  The  grass  withereth,  the 
flower  fadeth:  because  the 
spirit  of  the  Lord  bloweth 
upon  it:  surely  the  people  ie 
grass.   • 

8  The  grass  withereth,  the 
flower  fadeth : '  but  the  word  of 
our  God  shall  stand  for  ever.

the  high  mountain ;  0  J£-ru>a- 
12m,  that  bringest  good  tidings, 
lift  up  thy  voice  with  strength; 
lift  it  up,  be  not  afraid ;  say 
unto  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  Be- 
hold your  God! 

10  Behold,  the  Lord  GoD  will 
come  with  strong  hand\  and 
his  arm  shall  rule  for  him :  be- 
hold, his  reward  is  with  him, 
and  hia  work  before  him. 

11  He  shall  feed  his  flock 
like  a  shepherd:  he  shall  gath- 
er the  lambs  with  his  arm,  and 
carry. t/um  in  his  bosom, and 
shall  gently  lead  those  that  are 
with  young* 

12  ?Who  hath  measured  the 
waters  in  the  hollow  of  his 
hand,  and  meted  out  heaven 
with  the  span,  and  compre- 
hended the  dust  of  the  earth  in 
a  measure,  and  weighed  the 
mountains  in  scales*  and  the 
hills  in  a  balance?. 

13  Who  hath  directed  the 
Spirit  of  the  Lord,  or  being  his 
counsellor  hath  taught  him  ? 

14  With  whom  took  he  coun- 
sel, and  who  instructed  him, 
and  taught  him  in  the  path 
of  judgment,  and  taught  him 
knowledge,,  and  shewed  to  him 
the  way  of  understanding  ? 

15  Behold,  the  nations  art  as 
a  drop  of  a  bucket,  and  are 
counted  as  the  small  dust  of 
the  balance :  behold,  he  taketh 
up  the  isles  as  a  very  little 
thing.

thereof  sufficient  for  a  burnt 
offering.

as  nothing ;  and  they  are  count-

and  vanity.   •

will  ye   compare  unto   him? 

19  The  workman  melteth  a 
graven  image,  and  the  gold- 
smith spreadeth  it  over  with 
gold,  and  casteth  silver  chains. 

20  He  that  is  so  impoverished 
that  he  hath  no  oblation  choda- 
eth  a  tree  that  wUl  not  rot ;  he 
seeketh  unto  him  a  canning 
workman  to  prepare  a  graven 
image,  that  shall  not  be  moved. 

21  Have  ye  not  known?  have 
ye  not  heard?. hath  it  not  been 
told-  you  from  the  beginning? 
have  ye  net  understood  from 
the  foundations  of  the  earth  ?  . 

22  It  is  he  that  sittetfc  upon 
the  circle  of  the  earth,  and 
the  inhabitants  thereof  are  as 
_  asshoppers ;  that  stretcheth 
out  the  heavens  as  a  curtain, 
and  spreadeth  them  out  as  a 
tent  to  dwell  in: 

23  That  bringetb.  the  princes 
to  nothing;  he  maketh  the 
judges  of  the  earth  33  vanity 

24  Yea,  they  shall  not  be  plant- 
ed ;  yea,  they  shall  not  be  sown : 
yea,  their  stock  shall  not  take 
root  in  the  earth :  and  he  shall: 
also  blow  upon  them,  and  they 
shall  wither,  and  the  whirlwind 
shall  take  them  away  as  stubble. 

25  To  whom  then  will  ye  liken 
me,  or  shall  I  be  equal?  saith 
the  Holy  One,: 

26  Mft  .up  your,  eyes  on  high* 
and  behold  who  hath  created 
these  things,  that  bringeth  .out 
their  host  bv  number :  he  caH- 
eth  them  all  by  names  by  the 

Seatness  of  his,  might,  for  that 
is  strong  in  power;  not  one 
faileth. 

27  Why  sayest  thou,  O  J&'cob, 
and  speakest,  O  Ig'ra-el,  My  way 
is  hid:  from  the  Lord,  and  my 
judgment  is  passed  over  from 
my  God? 

28  Hast  thou  not  known  1  hast 
thou  not  heard,  that  the  ever- 
lasting God,  the  Lord,  the  Cre- 
ator of  the  ends  of  the  earth, 
fainteth  not,  neither  is  weary? 
there  is  no  searching, of  his 
understanding. 

29  He  giveth  power,  to  the 
faint ;  and  to  them  that  have  no 
might  he  increaseth  strength. 

30  gyeA  the  youths  shall  faint 
and  be  weary,  and  the  young 
men  shall  utterly  fall : 

31  But  they  that  wait  upon 
the  Lord  shall  renew  their 
strength ;  they  shall  mount  up 
with  winga  as  eagles ;  they  shall 
run,  and  not  be  weary;  and 
they  shall  walk,  and  not  faint

2  Who  raised  up  the  righteous 
man  from  the  east  called  him 
to  his  foot  gave  the  nations 
before  him,  and  made  him  rule 
over  kings?  he  gave  them  as 
the  dust  to  his  sword,  and 
driven  stubble  to  his  bow. 

3 .  He  pursued  them,  and  passed 
safely;  even  by  the  way  that 
he  had  not  gone  with  his  feet 

4  Who  hath  wrought  and  done 
it*  calling  the  generations  from 
the  beginning?  I  the  Lord,  the 
first  and  with  the  last;  I  am  he. 

5  The  isles  saw  it,  and  feared; 
the  ends  of  the  earth  were 
afraid,  drew  near,  and  came. 

6.  They:  helped  every  one  his 
neighbour ;  and  every  one  said 
to  his  brother*  Be  of  good  cour- 
age, 

7  So  the  carpenter  encouraged 
the  goldsmith,  and  he  that 
smootheth  with  the  hammer 
him  that  smote  the  anvil,  say- 
ing. It  is  ready  for  the  sodering : 
and  he  fastened  it  with  nails, 
that  it  should  not  be  moved. 

8  But  thou,  Is/ra-el,  art  my 
servant  Jft'cob  whom  I  have 
chosen,  the  seed  of  A'bra'-hfim 
my  friend. 

9  Thou  whom  I  have  taken 
from  the.  ends  of  the  earth,  and 
called  thee  from  the  chief  men 
thereof,  and  said  unto  thee, 
Thou  art  my  servant  I  have 
chosen  thee,  and  not  cast  thee 
away. 

10  ITFear  thou  not;  for  I  am 
with  thee :  be  not  dismayed ;  for 
I  am  thy  God:  I  will  strengthen 
thee;  yea,  I  will  help  thee;  vea, 
I  will  uphold  thee  with  the  right 
hand  of  my  righteousness. 

11  Behold,  ail  they  that  were 
incensed  against  thee  shall  be 
ashamed  and  confounded :  they 
shall,  be  as  nothing;  and  they 
that  strive  with  thee  shall  per- 
ish. 

12  Thou  shalt  seek  them,  and 
shalt  not  find  them,  even  them 
that  contended  with  thee :  they 
that  war  against  thee  shall  be 
as  nothing,  and  as  a  thing  of 
nought 

13  For  I  the  Lord  thy  God 
will  hold  thy  right  hand,  saying 
unto  thee*  Fear  not ;  I  will  help 
thee.

will  help  thee,  saith  the  Lord, 
and  thy  redeemer,  the  Holy  One 
of  Is'ra-eL 

15  Behold,  I  will  make  thee  a 
new  sharp  threshing  instrument 
having  teeth :  thou  shalt  thresh 
the  mountains,  and  heat  them 
small,  and  shalt  make  the  hills 
as  chaff. 

16  Thou  shalt  fan  them,  and 
the  wind  shall  carry  them  away, 
and  the  whirlwind  shall  scatter 
them :  and  thou  shalt  rejoice  in 
the  Lord,  and  shalt  glory  in  the 
Holy  One  of  Is/ra-el. 

17  When  the  poor  and  needy 
seek  water,  and  there  is  none, 
and  their  tongue  faileth  for 
thirst,  I  the  LORD  will  hear 
them,  I  the  God  of  fc'ra-el  will 
not  forsake  them. 

18  I  will  open  rivers  in  hi] 
places,   and  fountains  in  t 
midst  of   the  valleys:   I  will 
make  the  wilderness  a  pool  of 
water,  and  the  dry  land  springs 
of  water. 

19  I  will  plant  in  the  wilder- 
ness  the  cedar,  the  shittah  tree, 
and  the  myrtle,  and  the  oil  tree ; 
I  will  set  in  the  desert  the  fir 
tree,  and  the  pine,  and  the  box 
tree  together: 

20  That  they  may  see,  and 
know,  and  consider,  and  under- 
stand together,  that  the  hand 
of  the  Lord  hath  done  this,  and 
the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el  thath 
created  it 

21  UProduce  your  cause,  saith 
the  Lord;  bring  forth  your 
strong  reasons,  saith  the  King 
of  Jfi'cob. 

22  Let  them  bring  them  forth, 
and  shew  us  what  snail  happen : 
let  themshewthe  former  things, 
what  they  be,  that  we  may  con- 
sider them,  and  know  the  latter 
end  of  them;  or  declare  us 
things  for  to  come. 

23  Shew  the  things  that  are 
to  come  hereafter,  that  we  may 
know  that  ye  are  gods:  yea,  do 

rd,  or  do  evil,  that  we  may 
dismayed,  and  behold  it  to- 
gether. 

24  Behold,  ye  are  of  nothing, 
and  your  work  of  nought:  an 
abomination  is  he  that  choos- 
eth  you. 

25  I  have  raised  up  one  from 
the  north,  and  he  shall  come: 
from  the  rising  of  the  sun  shall 
he  call  upon  my  name:  and  he 
shall  come  upon  princes  as  upon 
morter,  and  as  the  potter  tread- 
eth  clay. 

26  Who  hath  declared  from 
the  beginning,  that  we  may 
know  7  and  hex  oretime,  that  we 
may  say,  He  is  righteous?  yea, 


there  is  none  that  sheweth, 
yea,  there  is  none  that  declar- 
eth,  yea,  there  is  none  that 
heareth  your  words. 

27  The  first  shall  say  to  Zi'- 
5n,  Behold,  behold  them :  and  I 
will  give  to  JS-ru'afi-lem  one 
that  bringeth  good  tidings. 

28  For  I  beheld,  and  there 
was  no  man ;  even  among  them, 
and  there  was  no  counsellor, 
that,  when  I  asked  of  them, 
could  answer  a  word. 

29  Behold,  they  are  all  van- 
ity; their  works  are  nothing: 
their  molten  images  are  wind 
and  confusion. 

CHAPTER  42 

Qffic*  of  Christ:  5  God's  promts*  to 
him.  10  An  exhortation  to  praise 
God. 

igh  TOEHOLD  my  servant,  whom 
the  JD  I  uphold;  mine  elect,  in 

whom  my  soul  delighteth; 

have  put  my  spirit  upon  him 

he  shall  bring  forth  judgment 

to  the  Gen'tileg. 

2  He  shall  not  cry,  nor  lift  up, 
nor  cause  his  voice  to  be  heard 
in  the  street 

3  A  bruised  reed  shall  he  not 
break,  and  the  smoking  flax 
shall  he  not  quench :  he  shall 
bring  forth  judgment  unto 
truth. 

4  He  shall  not  fail  Uor  be  dis- 
couraged, till  he  have  set  judg- 
ment in  the  earth :  and  the  isles 
shall  wait  for  his  law. 

5  IT  Thus  saith  God  the  Lord, 
he  that  created  the  heavens,  and 
stretched  them  out;  he  that 
spread  forth  the  earth,  and  that 
which  cometh  out  of  it ;  he  that 
giveth  breath  unto  the  people 
upon  it,  and  spirit  to  them  that 
walk  therein : 

6  I  the  Lord  have  called  thee 
in  righteousness,  and  will  hold 
thine  hand,  and  will  keep  thee, 
and  give  thee  for  a  covenant  of 
the  people,  for  a  light  of  the 
Gen'tller, 

7  To  open  the  blind  eyes,  to 
bring  out  the  prisoners  from 
the  prison,  ana  them  that  sit 
in  darkness  out  of  the  prison 
house. 

8  I  am  the  Lord:  that  is  my 
name :  and  my  glory  will  I  not 
give  to  another,  neither  my 
praise  to  graven  images. 

9  Behold,  the  former  things 
are  come  to  pass,  and  new 
things  do  I  declare:  before 
they  spring  forth  I  tell  you  of 
them.

therein;,  the  isles*  and  the  in- 
habitants thereof. 

11  Let  the  wilderness  and  the 
cities  thereof  lift  up  their  voice, 
the  villages  that  KS'dar  doth  in- 
habit :  let  the  inhabitants  of  the 
rock  sing,  let  them  shout  from 
the  top  of  the  mountains. 

12  Let  them  give  glory  unto 
the  Lord,  and  declare  his  praise 
in  the  islands. 

13  The  Lord  shall  go  forth  as 
a  mighty  man,  he  shall  stir  up 
jealousy  like  a  man  of  war:  he 
shall  cry,  yea,  roar;  he  shall 
prevail  against  his  enemies. 

14  I  have  long  time  holden 
my  peace;  I  have  been  still, 
and  refrained  myself :  now  will 
I  err  like  a  travailing  woman ; 
I  will  destroy  and  devour  at 
once. 

15  I  will  make  waste  moun- 
tains and  hills,  and  dry  up  all 
their  herbs;  and  I  will  make 
the  rivers  islands,  and  I  will 
dry  up  the  pools. 

16  And  I  will  bring  the  blind 
by  a  way  that  they  knew  not; 
I  will  lead  them  in  paths  that 
they  have  not  known:  I  will 
make  darkness  light  before 
them,  and  crooked  things 
straight  These  things  will  I 
do  unto  them,  and  not  forsake 
them. 

17  They  shall  be  turned  back, 
they  shall  be  greatly  ashamed, 
that  trust  in  graven  images, 
that  say  to  the  molten, images, 
Ye  are  our  gods. 

18  IF  Hear,  ye  deaf;  and  look, 
ye  blind,  that  ye  may  see. 

19  Who  %8  blind,  but  my  serv 
ant?  or  deaf,  as  my  messenger 
that  I  sent?  who  is  blind  as  he 
that  is  perfect,  and  blind  as  the 
Lord's  servant? 

20  Seeing  many  things,  but 
thou  observest  not ;  opening  the 
ears,  but  he  heareth  not 

21  The  Lord  is  well  pleased 
for  his  righteousness'  sake ;  he 
will  magnify  the  law,  and  make 
it  honourable. 

22  But  this  is  a  people  robbed 
and  spoiled;  they  are  all  of 
them  snared  in  holes,  and  they 
are  hid  in  prison  houses:  they 
are  for  a  pcey,  and  none  deliv- 
ereth;  for  a  spoil*  and  none 
saith,  Restore. 

23  Who  among  you  will  give 
ear  to  this?  who  will  hearken 
and  hear  for  the  time  to  come? 

24  Who  gave  J&'cob  for  a  spoil, 
and  Is/ra-ei  to  the  robbers?  did 
not  the  Lord,  he  against  whom 
we  have  sinned  ?  for  they  would 
not  walk  in  his  ways,  neither 
were  they  obedient  unto  bis  law. 


25  Therefore  he  hath  poured 
upon  him  the  fury  of  his  an- 
ger, and  the  strength  of  bat- 
tle :  and  it  hath  set  him  on  fire 
round  about,  vet  he  knew  not ; 
and  it  burned  him,  yet  he  laid 
it  not  to  heart 

CHAPTER  43 

The  Lord  comforts  the  church  with 
his  promises:  14  he  foretells  Baby 
Ion's  destruction,  18  and  his  peo- 
ple's deliverance. 

BUT  now  thus  saith  the  Lord 
that  created  thee,  O  Ja'cob, 
and  he  that  formed  thee,  0  Is'- 
ra-el,  Fear  not:  for  I  have  re- 
deemed thee,  I  have  called  thee 
by  thy  name ;  thou  art  mine. 

2  When  thou  nassest  through 
the  waters,  I  tout  be  with  thee ; 
and  through  the  rivers,  they 
shall  not  overflow  thee:  when 
thou  walkest  through  the  fire, 
thou  shalt  not  be  burned ;  nei- 
ther shall  the  flame  kindle  up- 
on thee. 

3  For  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God, 
the  Holy  One  of  ls'ra-el,  thy 
Saviour:  I  gave  E'gjpt  for  thy 
ransom,  £-thi-5'pI-a  and  Se'ba 
for  thee. 

4  Since  thou  wast  precious  in 
my  sight  thou  hast  been  hon- 
ourable, and  I  have  loved  thee: 
therefore  will  I  give  men  for 
thee,  and  people  tor  thy  life. 

5  Fear  not:  for  I  am  with 
thee :  1  will  bring  thy  seed  from 
the  east  and  gather  thee  from 
the  west; 

6  I  will  say  to  the  north,  Give 
up;  and  to  the  south,  Keep  not 
back:  bring  my  sons  from  far, 
and  my  daughters  from  the  ends 
of  the  earth; 

7  Even  every  one  that  is  called 
by  my  name:  for  I  have  created 
him  for  my  glory,  I  have  formed 
him;  yea,  I  have  made  him. 

8  IFBring  forth  the  blind  peo- 
ple that  have  eyes,  and  the  deaf 
that  have  ears. 

9  Let  all  the  nations  be  gath- 
ered together,  and  let  the  peo- 
ple be  assembled:  who  among 
them  can  declare  this,  and  shew 
us  former  things?  let  them 
bring  forth  their  witnesses,  that 
they  may  be  justified:  or  let 
them  hear,  and  say,  It  is  truth. 

10  Ye  are  my  witnesses,  saith 
the  Lord,  and  my  servant  whom 
I  have  chosen ;  that  ye  may 
know  and  believe  me,  and  under- 
stand that  I  am  he :  before  me 
there  was  no  God  formed,  nei- 
ther shall  there  be  after  me. 

11  I,  even  I,  am  the  Lord;  and 
beside  me  there  is  no  saviour. 

12  I  have  declared,  and  have 
saved,  and  I  have  shewed,  when

there  was  no  strange  god 
among  you:  therefore  ye  are 
my  witnesses,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  I  am  God. 

13  Yea,  before  the  day  was  I 
am  he ;  and  there  is  none  that 
can  deliver  out  of  my  hand:  I 
will  work,  and  who  shall  let  it  ? 

14  1T  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
your  redeemer,  the  Holy*  One  of 
Is/ra-el;  For  your  sake  I  have 
sent  to  B&b'y-lon,  and  have 
brought  down  all  their  nobles, 
and  the  Chfil-de'ana,  whose  cry 
is  in  the  ships.  | 

15  I  am  the  Lord,  your  Holy 
One,  the  creator  of  lara-el,  your 
King. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  which 
maketh  a  way  in  the  sea,  and  a 
path  in  the  mighty  waters ; 

17  Which  bringeth  forth  the 
chariot  and  horse,  the  army  and 
the  power;  they  shall  lie  down 
together,  they  shall  not  rise: 
they  are  extinct,  they  a 
quenched  as  tow. 

18  Remember  ye  not  the  for- 
mer things,  neither1  consider 
the  things  of  old. 

19  Behold,  I  will  do  a  new 
thing ;  now  it  shall  spring  forth ; 
shall  ye  not  know  it?  I  will  even 
make  a  way  in  the  wilderness, 
and  rivers  in  the  desert 

20  The  beast  of  the  field 
shall  honour  me,  the  dragons 
and  the  owls:  because  I  give 
waters  in  the  wilderness,  and 
rivers  in  the  desert,  to  give 
drink  to  my  people,  my  chosen. 

21  This  people  have  I  formed 
for  myself;  they  shall  shew 
forth  my  praise. 

22  IF  But  thou  hast  not  called 
upon  me,  O  Ja'cob;  but  thou 
hast  been  weary  of  me,  O  Is> 
ra-el. 

23  Thou  hast  not  brought  me 
the  small  cattle  of  thy  burnt 
offerings;  neither  hast  thou 
honoured  me  with  thy  sacrifices. 
I  have  not  caused  thee  to  serve 
with  an  offering,  nor  wearied 
thee  with  incense*  . 

24  Thou  hast  bought  me  no 
sweet  cane  with  money,  nei- 
ther hast  thou  filled  me  with 
the  fat  of  thy  sacrifices:  but 
thou  hast  made  me  to  serve  with 
thy  sins,  thou  hast  wearied  me 
with  thine  iniquities. 

25  I,  even  I,  am  he  that  blot- 
teth  out  thy  transgressions  for 
mine  own  sake,  and  will  not  re- 
member thy  sins. 

26  Put  me  in  remembrance 
let  us  plead. together:  declare 
thou,  that  thou  mayest  be  jus- 
tified. 

27  Thyfirstfatherhathsinned, 


and  thy  teachers  have  trans- 
gressed against  me. 
28  Therefore  I  have  profaned 
the  princes  of  the  sanctuary; 
and  have  given  Ja'cob  to  the 
curse*  and  ii'ra-el  to  reproaches. 

CHAPTER  44 

(Too**  a  church  comforted.  9  Vanity 
of  idol*.  21  God  exhorts  Iarort  to 
trustin,  his  mercy* 

T7*ET  now  hear,  O  Ja'cob  my 
X   servant ;  and  fg'ra-ei,  whom 

I  have  chosen: 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  that 
made  thee,  and  formed  thee 
from  the  womb,  which  will  help 
thee;  Fear  not;  0  Ja'cob;  my 
servant;  and  thou,  Jes'u-run, 
whom  I  have  chosen; 

3  For  I  will  pour  water  upon 
him  that  is  thirsty,  and  floods 
upon  the  dry  ground:  I  will 
pour  my  spirit  upon  thy  seed, 
and  my  blessing  upon  thine  off- 
spring: 

4  And  they  shall  spring  up  as 
among  the  grass,  as  willows  by 
the  water  courses. 

5  One  shall  say,  I  am  the 
Lord's;  and  another  shall  call 
himself  by  the  name  of  Ja'cob ; 
and  another  shaltsubscribe  with 
his  hand  unto  the  Lord,  and 
surname  himself  by  the  name 
of  Is/ra-eL 

6  Thus  saith  the  Lord  the 
King  of  Is/ra-el,  and  his  re- 
deemer the  Lord  of  hosts;  I 
am  the  first,  and  I  am  the  last; 
and  beside  me  there  is  no  God. 

7  And  who,  as  I,  shall  call,  and 
shall  declare  it,  and  set  it  in 
order  for  me,  since  I  appointed 
the  ancient  people?  and  the 
things  that  are  coming,  and 
shall  come,  let  them  shew  unto 
them. 

8  Fear  ye  not,  neither  be 
afraid:  have  not  I  told  thee 
from  that  time,  and  have  de- 
clared Ut  ye  are  even  my 
witnesses,  is  there  a  God  be- 
side me?  yea,  there  is  no  God; 
I  know  not  any.  . 

9  They  that  make  a  graven 
image  are  all  of  them  vanity ; 
and  their  delectable  things 
shall  not  profit ;  and  they  are 
their  own  witnesses;  they  see 
not,  nor  know;  that  they  may 
be  ashamed. 

10  Who  hath  formed  a  god,  or 
molten  a  graven  image  that  is 
profitable1  for  nothing? 

11  Behold,  all  his  fellows  shall 
be  ashamed:  and  the  workmen, 
they  are  of  men:  let  them  all 
be  gathered  together,  let  them 
stand  up;  yet  they  shall'  fear, 
and  they  shall  be  ashamed  to- 
gether.      :•

12  The  smith  with  the  tongs 
both  worketh  in  the  coals, 
and  fashion  eth  it  with  ham- 
mers, and  worketh  it  with  the 
strength  of  his  arms:  yea,  he 
is  hungry,  and  his  strength 
faileth:  he  drinketh  no  water, 
and  is  faint. 

13  The  carpenter  stretcheth 
out  his  rule;  he  mark  eth  it  oat 
with  a  line;  he  fitteth  it  with 
planes,  and  he  marketh  it  out 
with  the  compass,  and  maketh 
it  after  the  figure  of  a  man, 
according  to  the  beauty  of  a 
man;  that  it  may  remain  in 
the  house. 

14  He  heweth  him  down  ce- 
dars, and  taketh  the  cypress 
and  the  oak,  which  he  strength- 
ened! for  himself  among  the 
trees  of  the  forest:  he  planteth 
an  ash,  and  the  rain  doth  nour-

15  Then  shall  it  be  for  a  man

of, and  warm  himself;  yea,  he 
kindleth  it,  and  baketh  bredd; 
yea,  he  maketh  a  god,  and  wor-

thereto. 

16  He  burneth  part  thereof  in

eateth  flesh ;  he  roasteth  roast, 
and  is  satisfied :  vea,  he  warm- 
eth  himself,  and  saith,  Aha,  I 
am  warm,  I  have  seen  the  fire : 

17  And  the  residue  thereof  he 
maketh  a  god,  even  his  graven 
image :  he  faileth  down  unto  it, 
and  worshippeth  it,  and  pray- 
eth  unto  it,  and  saith,  Deliver 
me ;  for  thou  art  my  god. 

18  They  have  not  known  nor 
understood:  for  he  hath  shut 
their  eyes,  that  they  cannot 
see ;  and  their  hearts,  that  they 
cannot  understand*.  ' 

19  And  none  considereth  in 
his  heart,  neither  is  there 
knowledge  nor  understanding 
to  say,  I  have  burned  part  of  it 
in  the  fire;  yea,  also  I  have 
baked  bread  upon  the  coals 
thereof;  I  have  roasted  flesh, 
and  eaten  it ;  and  shall  I  make 
the  residue  thereof  an  abomi- 
nation'? shall  I  fall  down  to 
the  stock  of  a  tree? 

20  He  f  eedeth  on  ashes :  a  de- 
ceived heart  hath  turned  him 
aside,  that  he '  cannot  deliver 
his  soul,  nor  say,  h  there  not  a 
lie  in  my  right  hand? 

21  URemember  these,  OJa'cob 
and  Ia'ra-el;  for  thou  art  my 
servant:  I  have  formed  thee; 
thou  art  my  servant:  Ols'ra-el, 
thou  ahalt  not  be  forgotten  of 
me. 


22  I  have  blotted  out,  as  a 
thick  cloud,  thy  transgressions, 
and,  aa  a  cloud,  thy  sinst  re- 
turn unto  me;  for  I  have  re- 
deemed thee. 

23  Sing,  0  ye  heavens;  for 
the  Lord  hath  done  it :  shout, 
ye  lower  parts  of  the  earth: 
break  forth  into  singing;  ye 
mountains,  O  forest,  and  every 
tree  therein :  for  the  Lord  hath 
redeemed  J&'cob,  and  glorified 
himself  in  tft'ra*el. 

24  Thus  saith  the  LoftD,  thy 
redeemer,  and  he  that  formed 
thee  from  the  womb,  I  am  the 
Lord  that  maketh  all  things; 
that  stretcheth  forth  the  heav- 
ens alone;  that  spreadeth  abroad 
the  earth  by  myself  j 

25  That  frustrateth  the  tokens 
of  the  liars,  and  maketh.  divin- 
ers mad;  that  turneth  wise  man 
backward,  and  maketh  their 
knowledge  foolish; 

26  That  confirmeth  the  word 
of  his  servant,,  and  performeth 
the  counsel  of  his  messengers; 
that  saith  to  JS-ru'sa-lem,  Thou 
shalt  be  inhabited;  and  to  the 
cities  of  Jft'dah,  Ye  shall  be 
built,  and  I  will  raise  up  the  de- 
cayed places  thereof : 

27  That  saith  to  the  deep,  Be 
dry,  and  I  will  dry  up  thy  rivers  i 

28  That  saith  of  Cyprus,  He  is 
my  shepherd,  and  shall  perform 
all  my  pleasure:  even  saying 
to  Je^ruM-lem,  Thou  shalt  be 
built ;  and  to  the  temple,  Thy 
foundation  shall  be  laid,

5  I  am  the  Lord,  and  there 
is  none  else,  there  is  no  God 
beside  me::  I  girded  thee, 
though  thou  hast  not  known 
me: 

6  That  they  may  know  from 
the  rising  of  the  sun,  and  from 
the  west,  that  there  is  none 
beside  me.  I  am  the  Lord, 
and  there  is  none  else. 

7  I  form  the  light,  and  cre- 
ate darkness:  I  make  peace,  and 
create  evil :  I  the  Lord  do  all 
these  things. 

8  Drop  down,  ye  heavens, 
from  above,  and  let  the  skies 
poor  down  righteousness:  let 
the  earth  open,  and  let  them 
bring  iorth  salvation,  and  let 
righteousness  spring  up  to- 
gether; I  the  Lord  have  cre- 
ated it 

9  Woe  unto  him  that  striv- 
eth  with  his  Maker!  Let  the 
potsherd  strvoe  with  the  pot- 
sherds of  the  earth.  Shall  the 
day  say  to  him  that  fashion- 
eth  it,  What  makest  thou?  or 
thy  work,  He  hath  no  hands? 

10  Woe  unto  him  that  saith 
urito  his  father,.  What  beget* 
test  thou?  or  to  the  woman, 
What  hast  thou  brought  forth? 

11  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
Holy  One  of  Is/ra-el,  and  his 
Maker,  Ask  me  of  things  to 
come  concerning  my  sons,  and 
concerning  the  work  of  my 
hands  command  ye  me. 

12  I  have  made  the  earth, 
and  created  man  upon.it:  I, 
even  my  hands,  have  stretched 
out  the  heavens,  and  ajl  their 
host  have  I  commanded. 

13  I  have  raised  him  up  in 
ighteousness,  and  I  will  direct 

all  his  ways*:  he  shall  build  my 
city,  and  he  shall  let  go  my 
captives,  not  for  price  nor  re- 
ward, saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

14  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  The 
labour  of  C&jFpt,  and.  merchan- 
dise of  E4hW5pW  and  of  the 
SS-be'ans,  men  of  stature,  shall 
come  over  unto  thee,  and  they 
shall  be  thine:  they  shall  come 
after  thee ;  in  chains  they  shall 
come  over,  and  they  shall  fall 
down  unto  thee,  they  shall 
make  supplication  unto  thee, 
saying,  Surely  God  is  in  thee ; 
and  there  is  none  else,  there  is 
no  God. 

15  Verily  thou  art  a  God  that 
hidest  thyself,  O  God  of  Is/ra-el, 
the  Saviour. 

16  They  shall  be  ashamed, 
and  also  confounded,  all  of 
them:  they'  shall  go  to  con- 
fusion together  that  are  mak- 
ers of  idols. 


17  But  Is/ra-el  shall  be  saved 
in  the  Lord  with  an  everlast- 
ing salvation :  ye  shall  not  be 
ashamed  nor  confounded  world 
without  end. 

18  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
that  created  the  heavens ;  God 
himself  that  formed  the  earth 
and  made  it;  he  hath  estab- 
lished it,  he  created  it  not  in 
vain,  he  formed  it  to  be  in- 
habited: I  am  the  Lord;  and 
there  is  none  else. 

19  I  have  not  spoken  in  se- 
cret, in  a  dark  place  of  the 
earth :  I  said  not  unto  the  seed 
of  Jfi'cob,  Seek  ye  me  in  vain : 
I  the  Lord  speak  righteous- 
ness, I  declare  things  that  are 
right 

20  IF  Assemble  yourselves  and 
come;  draw  near  together,  ye 
that  are  escaped  of  the  nations : 
they  have  no  knowledge  that 
set  up  the  wood  of  their  graven 
image,  and  pray  unto  a  god 
that  cannot  save. 

21  Tell  ye,  and  bring  them 
near;  yea,  let  them  take  coun- 
sel together:  who  hath  de- 
clared this  from  ancient  time? 
who  hath  told  it  from  that 
time?  have  not  I  the  Lord? 
and  there  is  no  God  else  be- 
side me;  a  just  God  and  a 
Saviour;  there  is  none  beside 
me. 

22  Look  unto  mg,  and  be  ye 
saved,  all  the  ends  of  the 
earth :  for  I  am  God,  and  there 
is  none  else. 

23  I  have  sworn  by  myself, 
the  word  is  gone  out  of  my 
mouth  in  righteousness,  and 
shall  not  return,  That  unto  me 
every  knee  shall  bow,  every 
tongue  shall  swear. 

24  Surely,  shall  one  say,  in 
the  Lord  have  I  righteousness 
and  strength:  even  to  him  shall 
men  come;  and  all  that  are  in- 
censed against  him  shall  be 
ashamed. 

25  In  the  Lord  shall  all  the 
seed  of  la'ra-el  be  justified,  and 
shall  glory.

themselves.  3  God  saves  his  people

den to  the  weary  beast 
2  They  stoop,  they  bow  down 
together ;  they  could  not  deliv-

are  gone  into  captivity.

3  IHearken  unto  me,  O  house 
of  Ji'cob,  and  all  the  remnant  of 
the  house  of  Ig'ra-el,  which  are 
borne  by  me  from  the  belly, 
which  are  carried  from  the 
womb: 

4  And  even  to  your  old  age 
I  am  he;  and  even  to  hoar  hairs 
will  I  cany  you :  I  have  made, 
and  I  will  bear;  even  I  will 
carry,  and  will  deliver  you. 

5  II  To  whom  will  ye  liken 
me,  and  make  me  equal,  and 
compare  me,  that  we  may  be 
like? 

6  They  lavish  gold  out  of  the 
bag,  and  weigh  silver  in  the  bal- 
ance, and  hire  a  goldsmith ;  and 
he  maketh  it  a  god :  they  fall 
down,  yea,  they  worship. 

7  They  bear  him  upon  the 
shoulder,  they  carry  him,  and 
set  him  in  his  place,  and  he 
standeth ;  from  his  place  shall 
he  not  remove:  yea,  one  shall 
cry  unto  him,  yet  can  he  not 
answer,  nor  save  him  out  of  his 
trouble. 

&  Remember  this,  and  shew 
yourselves  men :  bring  it  again 
to  mind,  0  ye  transgressors. 

9  Remember  the  former  things 
of  old :  for  I  am  God,  and  there 
is  none  else;  I  am  God,  and 
there  is  none  like  me, 

10  Declaring  the  end  from 
the  beginning,  and  from  ancient 
times  the  things  that  are  not 
yet  done,  saying,  My  counsel 
shall  stand,  and  I  will  do  all  my 
pleasure : 

11  Calling  a  ravenous  bird 
from  the  east,  the  man  that  ex- 
ecuteth  my  counsel  from  a  far 
country :  yea,  I  have  spoken  it, 
I  will  also  bring  it  to  pass ;  I 
have  purposed  it,  I  will  also 
do  it 

12  1T  Hearken  unto  me,  ye 
stouthearted,  that  are  far  from 
righteousness : 

13  I  bring  near  my  righteous- 
ness ;  it  shall  not  be  far  off,  and 
my  salvation  shall  not  tarry : 
and. I  will  place  salvation  in 
Zi'On  for  Is/ra-el  my  glory.

make  bare  the  leg,  uncover  the 
thigh,  pass  over  the  rivers. 


3  Thy  nakedness  shall  be  un-

and  I  will  not  meet  thee  as  a 


4  HAs  for  our  redeemer,  the

5  Sit  thou  silent,  and  get  thee

Ch&l-de'ans. :  for  thou  shalt  no 
more  be  called,  The  lady  of 
kingdoms.    .         . 

6  I  was  wroth  with  my  peo- 
ple, I  have  polluted  mine  in- 
heritance, and  given  them  into 
thine  hand:  thou  didst  shew 
them  no  mercy;  upon  the  an- 
cient hast  thou  very  heavily 
laid  thy  yoke. 

7  And  thou  saidst,  I  shall  be 
i  lady  for  ever:  So  that  thou 

didst  not  lay  these  things  to  thy 
heart,  neither  didst  remember 
the  latter  end  of  it 

8  Therefore  hear  now  this, 
thou  that  art  given  to -pleas- 
ures, that  dwellest  carelessly, 
that  say  est  in  thine  heart;  lam, 
and  none  else  beside  me ;  I  shall 
not  sit  as  a  widow,  neither  shall 
I  know  the  loss  of  children.: 

9  But  (these  two  things  shall 
come  to  thee  in  a  moment  in 
one  day,  the  loss  of  children, 
and  widowhood:  they  shall 
come  upon  thee  in  their  perfec- 
tion for  the  multitude  of  thy 
sorceries,  and  for  the  great 
abundance  of  thine  enchant- 
ments. 

10  For  thou  hast  trusted  in 
thy  wickedness :  thou  hast  said, 
None  seeth  me.  Thy  wisdom 
and  thy  knowledge,  it  hath  per- 
verted thee;  and  thou  hast  said 
in  thine  heart,  I  am,  and  none 
else  beside  me. 

11  Therefore  shall  evil  come 
upon  thee ;  thou  shalt  not  know 
from  whence  it  riseth :  and  mis- 
chief shall  fall  upon  thee ;  thou 
shalt  not  be  able  to  put  it  off: 
and  desolation  shall  come  upon 
thee  suddenly,  which  thou  shalt 
not  know. 

12  Stand  now  with  thine  en- 
chantments, and  with  the  mul- 
titude of  thy  sorceries,  wherein 
thou  hast  laboured  from  thy 
youth;  •  if  so  be  thou  shalt  be 
able  to  profit,  if  so  be  thou  may- 
est  prevail. 

13  Thou  art  wearied  in  the 
multitude  of  thy  counsels.  Let 
now  the  astrologers,  the  star- 
gazers,  the  monthly  prognosti- 
cators,  stand  up,  and  save  thee 
from  these  things  that  shall 
come  upon  thee. 

14  Behold,  they  shall  be  as

CHAPTER  48 

God,  to  convince  the  people  of  their 
ob&tdnncy,  reveals  hie  propheeiee 
12  he  ethorte  them  to  obedience* 

HEAR  ye  this,  O  house  of 
Ja'cob,  which  are  called 
by  the  name  of  Is/ra-el,  and  are 
come  forth  out  of  the  waters 
of  Ju'dah,  which  swear  by  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  and  make 
mention  of  the  God  of  Is/ra-el, 
but  not  in  truth,  nor  in  right- 
eousness. 

2  For  they  call  themselves  of 
the  holy  city,  and  stay  them- 
selves upon  the  God  of  I s/ra-el ; 
The  Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name. 

3  I  have  declared  the  former 
things  from  the  beginning; 
and  they  went  forth  out  of  my 
mouth,  and  I  shewed  them;  I 
did  them  suddenly,  and  they 
came  to  pass. 

4  Because  I  knew  that  thou 
art  obstinate,  and  thy  neck  is 
an  iron  sinew,  and  thy  brow 
brass ; 

5  I  have  even  from  the  begin- 
ning declared  it  to  thee;  be- 
fore it  came  to  pass  I  shewed  it 
thee:  lest  thou  shouldest  say, 
Mine  idol  hath  done  them,  and 
my  graven  image*  and  my  mol- 
ten image,  hath  commanded 
them. 

6  Thou  hast  heard,  see  all 
this;  and  will  not  ye  declare 
it?  I  have  shewed  thee  new 
things .  from  this  time,  even 
hidden  things,  and  thou  didst 
not  know  them. 

7  They  are  created  now,  and 
not  from  the  beginning;  even 
before  the  day  when  thou 
heardest  them  not;  lest  thou 
shouldest  say,  Behold,  I  knew 
them. 

8  Yea,  thou  heardest  not ;  yea, 
thou  knewest  not;  yea,  from 
that  >time  that  thine  ear  was 
not  opened:  for  I  knew  that 
thou  wouldest  deal  very  treach- 
erously, and  wast  called  a  trans- 
gressor from  the  womb* 

9  Wor  my  name's  sake  will  I 
defer  mine  anger,  and  for  my 
praise  will  I  refrain  for  thee, 
that  I  cut  thee  not  off. 

10  Behold,  I  have  refined  thee, 


but :  not  with  silver ;  I  have 
chosen  thee  in  the  furnace  of 
affliction. 

11  For  mine  own  sake,  even 
for  mine  own  sake,  will  I  do  it : 
for  how  should  my  name  be 
polluted?  and  I  will  not  give 
my  glory  unto  another. 

12  1T  Hearken  unto  me,  O 
Ja'cob  and  Is'ra-el,  my  called; 
I  am  he;  I  am  the  first,  I  also 
am  the  last 

13  Mine  hand  also  hath  laid 
the  foundation  of  the  earth,  and 
my  right  hand  hath  spanned  the 
heavens:  tohenl  call  unto  them, 
they  stand  up  together. 

14  All  ye,  assemble  yourselves, 
and  hear;  which  among  them 
hath  declared  these  things  f 
The  Lord  hath  loved  him :  he 
will  do  his  pleasure  on  B&b'y- 
lon,  and  his  arm  shall  be  on 
the  Chfilde'ans, 

15  1,  even  I,  have  spoken; 
yea,  I  have  called  him :  I  have 
brought  him,  and  he  shall  make 
his  way  prosperous. 

16  IT  Come  ye  near  unto  me, 
hear  ye  this ;  I  have  not  spoken 
in  secret  from  the  beginning; 
from  the  time  that  it  was,  there 
ami:  and  now  the  Lord  God, 
and  his  Spirit,  hath  sent  me. 

17  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  thy 
Redeemer,  the  Holy  One  of  ls/- 
ra-el ;  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God 
which  teacheth  thee  to  profit, 
which  leadeth  thee  by  the  way 
that  thou  shouldest  go. 

18  0  that  thou  hadst  heark- 
ened to  my  commandments! 
then  had  thy  peace  been  as  a 
river,  and  thy  righteousness  as 
the  waves  of  the  sea : 

19  Thy  seed  also  had  been  as 
the  sand,  and  the  offspring  of 
thy  bowels  like  the  gravel  there- 
of;  his  name  should  not  have 
been  cut  off  nor  destroyed  from  See 
before  me. 

20  t  Go  ye  forth  of  B&b'jMon, 
flee  ye  from  the  Chal-de'anft, 
with'  a  voice  of  singing  declare 
ye,  tell  this,  utter  it  even  to  the 
end  of  the  earth;  say  ye,  The 
Lord  hath  redeemed,  his  serv- 
ant JS'cob. 

21  And  they  thirsted  not  when 
he  led  them  through  the  des- 
erts: he  caused  the  waters  to 
flow  out  of  the  rock  for  them 
he  clave  the  rock  also,  and  the 
waters  gushed  out 

22  There  is  no  peace,  saith 
the  Lord,  unto  the  wicked.

LISTEN,  O  isles,  unto  me; 
and  hearken,  ye  people, 
from  far ;  The  Lord  hath  called 
me  from  the  womb;  from  the 
bowels  of  my  mother  hath  he 
made  mention  of  my  name. 

2  And  he  hath  made  my 
month  like  a  sharp  sword;  in 
the  shadow  of  his  hand  hath 
he  hid  me,  and  made,  me  a  pol- 
ished shaft;  in  his  quiver  hath 
he  hid  me; 

3  And  said  unto  me,  Thou  art 
my  servant,  O  fe'ra-el,  in  whom 
I  will  be  glorified. 

4  Then  I  said,  I  have  la- 
boured in  vain,  I  have  spent  my 
strength  for  nought,  and  in 
rain :  yet  surely  my  judgment 
is  with  the  Lord,  and  my  work 
with  my  God. 

5  And  now,  saith  the  Lord 
that  formed  me  from  the  womb 
to  be  his  servant,  to  bring  J&'- 
cob  again  to  him,  Though  Is/- 
ra-el  be  not  gathered,  yet  shall 
I  be  glorious  in  the  eyes,  of  the 
Lord,  and  my  God  shall  be  my 
strength. 

6  And  he  said,  It  is  a  light 
thing  that  thou  shouldest  be 
my  servant  to  -  raise  up  the 
tribes  of  Jft'cob,  and  to  restore 
the  preserved  <of  ls/ra-el:  I  will 
also  give  thee  for  a  light  to  the 
tien'tile&.that.  thou  mayest  be 
my  salvation  unto  the  end  of 
the  earth. 

7  IT  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
Redeemer  of  Is/ra-el*  and  his 
Holy  One,  to  him  whom  man 
despiseth,  to  him  whom  the 
nation  abhorreth,.  to  a  servant 
of  rulers.  Kings  shall  see  and 
arise,  princes  also  shall  wor- 
ship, because  of  the  Lor*  that 
is  faithful,  and  the  Holy  One 
of  Is/ra-ei  and  he  shall  choose 
thee. 

8  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  In  an 
acceptable  time:  have  I  heard 
thee,  and  in  a  day  of  salva- 
tion have  I  helped  thee:  and  I 
will  preserve  thee,  and  give 
thee  for  a  covenant  of  the  peo- 
ple, to  establish  the  earth,  to 
cause  i  to  inherit  the  desolate 
heritages; 

9  That  thou  mayest  say  to 
the  prisoners,  Go  forth ;  to  them 
that  are  in  darkness,  Shew 
yourselves.  They  shall  feed  in 
the  ways,*  and  their  postures 

laces.  • 


shall  be  in  all  high  pi 

10  They  shall  not:  hunger  nor 
thirst;  neither  shall  the  heat 
nor  sun  smite  them:  for  he 
that:  hath  mercy  on  them  shall 
lead  them,  even  by  the  springs 
of  water  shall  he  guide  them. 

11  And  I. will  make. all  my 


mountains  a  way,  and  my  high- 
ways shall  be  exalted. 

12  Behold,  these  shall  come 
from  far:  and,  lo,  these  from 
the  north  and  from  the  west ; 
and  these  from  the  land  of  Si'- 
nim. 

13  f  Sing,  O  heavens;  and  be 
joyful,.  O  earth ;  and  break  forth 
into  singing,  0  mountains:  for 
the  Lord  hath  comforted  his 
people,  and  will  have  mercy  up- 
on his  afflicted. 

14  But  Zi'dn  said,  The  Lord 
hath  forsaken  me,  and  my  Lord 
hath  forgotten  me. 

15  Can  a  woman  forget  her 
sucking  child,  that  she  should 
not  have  compassion  on  the 
son  of  her  womb?  yea,  they 
may  forget,  yet  will  I  not  for- 
get thee. 

16  Behold,  I  have  graven  thee 
upon  the  palms  of  my  hands; 
thy  walls  are  continually  be- 
fore me. 

17  Thy  children  shall  make 
haste;  thy  destroyers  and  they 
that  made  thee  waste  shall  go 
forth  of  thee. 

18  Lift  up  thine  eyes  round 
about,  and  behold:    all  these 

er  themselves  together,  and 
come  to  thee,  As  I  live,  saith 
the  Lord,  thou  shalt  surely 
clothe  thee  with  them  all,  as 
with  an  ornament,  and  bind 
them  on  thee9  as  a  bride  doeth. 

19  For  thy  waste  and  thy  deso- 
late places,  and  the  land  of  thy 
destruction,  shall  even  now  be 
too  narrow  by  reason  of  the  in- 
habitants, and  they  that  swal- 
lowed thee  up  shall  be  far  away. 

20  The  children  which  thou 
shalt  have,  after  thou  hast  lost 
the  other,  shall  say  again  in 
thine  ears,  The  place  is  too 
strait  for  me:  give  place  to  me 
that  I  may  dwell 

21  Then  shalt  thou  say  in 
thine  heart,  Who  hath  begot- 
ten me  these,  seeing  I  have  lost 
my  children,  and  am  desolate, 
a  captive,  and  removing  to  and 
fro?  and  who  hath  brought  up 
these?  Behold,  I  was  left  alone; 
these,  where  had  they  been  ? 

22  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God, 
Behold,  I  will  lift  up  mine  hand 
to  the  Gen'tUefi,  and  set  up  my 
standard  to  the  people:  and 
they  shall  bring  thy  sons  in 
their  arms,  and  thy  daughters 
shall  be  carried  upon  their 
shoulders. 

23  And  kings  shall  be  thy  nurs- 
ing fathers,  and  their  queens 
thy  nursing  mothers :  they  shall 
bow  down  to  thee  with  their 
face  toward  the  earth,  and  lick

CHAPTER  50 

Christ  shews  the  cause  of  the  Jews* 
dereliction.  10  Exhortation  to  trust 
in   God,  and  not  in  human  re* 


THUS  saith  the  Lord,  Where 
is  the  bill  of  your  mother's 
divorcement,  whom  I  have  put 
away?  or  which  of  my  creditors 
is  it  to  whom  I  have  sold  you? 
Behold,  for  your  iniquities  nave 
ye  sold  yourselves,  and  for  your 
transgressions  is  your  mother 
put  away.    . 

2. Wherefore,  when  I  came, 
was  there  no  man?  when  I 
called,  was  there  none  to  an- 
swer? Is  my  hand  shortened 
at  all,  that  it  cannot  redeem? 
or.  have  I  no  power  to  deliver? 
behold,  at  my  rebuke  I  dry  up 
the  sea,  I  make  the  rivers  a 
wilderness:  their  fish  stinketh, 
because  there  is  no  water,  and 
dieth  for  thirst 

3  I  clothe  the  heavens  with 
blackness,  and  I  make  sackcloth 
their  covering. 

4  IfThe  Lord  God  hath  given 
me  the  tongue  of  the  learned, 
that  I  should  know  how  to  speak 
a  word  in  season  to  him  that  is 
weary:  he  wakeneth  morning 
by  morning,  he  wakeneth  mine 
ear  to  hear  as  the  learned. 

5  The  Lord  Gob  hath  opened 
mine  ear,,  and  I  was  not  rebel- 
lious, neither  turned  away  back. 

6  I  gave  my  back  to  the  smit* 
era,  and  my  cheeks  to  them 
that  plucked  off  the  hair:  I  hid 
not  my  face  from  shame  and 
spitting. 

7 -For  the  Lord  God  will  help 
me;  therefore  shall  I  not  be 
confounded:  therefore  have  I 
set  my  face  like  a  flint,  and 
I  know  that  I  shall  not  be 
ashamed.  ^ 


8  He  is  near  that  justifieth 
me;  who  will  contend  with 
me?  let  us  stand  together:  who 
is  mine  adversary?  let  him 
come  near  to  me. 

9  Behold,  the  Lord  God  will 
help  me;  who  is  he  that  shall 
condemn  me  ?  lo,  they  all  shall 
wax  old  as  a  garment ;  the  moth 
shall  eat  them  up* 

10  IFWho  is  among  you  that 
f  eareth  the  Lord,  that  obeyeth 
the  voice  of  his  servant,  that 
walketh  in  darkness,  and  hath 
no  light?  let  him  trust  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  and  stay 
upon  his  God. 

11  Behold,  all  ye  that  kindle  a 
fire,  that  compass  yourselves 
about  with  sparks:  walk  in  the 
light  of  your  fire,  and  in  the 
sparks  that  ye  have  kindled. 
This  shall  ye  have  of  mine 
hand;  ye  shall  lie  down  in 
sorrow. 

CHAPTER  51 

The  righteous  exhorted,  after  the 
pattern  of  Abraham,  to  trust  in 
Christ :  4  certainty  of  his  salvation, 

HEARKEN  to  me,  ye  that 
follow  after  righteousness, 
ye  that  seek  the  Lord:  look 
unto  the  rock  whence  ye  are 
hewn,  and  to  the  hole  of  the 
pit  whence  ye  are  digged, 

2  Look  unto  A'bra-hftm  your 
father*  and  unto  Sfi'rah  that 
bare  you:  for  I  called  him 
alone,  and  blessed  him,  and  in- 
creased him. 

3  For  the  Lord  shall  comfort 
Zi'Sn :  he  will  comfort  all  her 
waste  places ;  and  he  will  make 
her  wilderness  like  £*den,  and 
her  desert  like  the  garden  of 
the  Lord;  joy  and  gladnc 
shall  be  found  therein,  thanks* 
giving,  and  the  voice  of  melody; 

4  f  Hearken  unto  me,  my  peo- 
ple; and  give  est  unto  me,  O 
my  nation :  for  a  law  shall  pro- 
ceed from  me,  and  I  will  make 
my  judgment  to  rest  for  a  light 
of  the:  people. 

5  My  righteousness  is  near; 
my  salvation  is  gone  forth,  and 
mine  arms  shall  judge  the  peo- 
ple; the  isles  shall  wait  upon 
me,  and  on  mine  arm  shall  they 
trust 

6  Lift,  up  your  eyes  to  the 
heavens,  and  look  upon  the  earth 
beneath:  for  the  heavens  shall 
vanish  away  like  smoke,  and 
the  earth  shall  wax  old  like  a 
garment,  and  they  that  dwell 
therein  shall  die  in  like  man- 
ner: but  my  salvation  shall  be 
for  ever,  and  my  righteousness 
shall  not  be  abolished.

know  righteousness,  the  people 
in  whose  heart  is  my  law ;  fear 
ye  not  the  reproach  of  men, 
neither  be  ye  afraid  of  their 
reviling*. 

8  For  the  moth  shall  eat  them 
up  like  a  garment,  and  the 
worm  shall  eat  them  like  wool : 
but  my  righteousness  shall  be 
for  ever,  and  my  salvation  from 
generation  to  generation. 

9  f  Awake,  .  awake;  put  on 
strength,  0  arm  of  the  Lord; 
awake,  as  in  the  ancient  days, 
in  the  generations  of  old.  Art 
thou  not  it  that  hath  cut  RT 
hftb,  and  wounded  the  dragon  ? 

10  Art  thou  not  it  which  hath 
dried  the  sea,  the  waters  of  the 
(great  deep;  that  hath  made  the 
depths  or  the  sea  a  way  for  the 
ransomed  to  pass  overt 

11  Therefore  the  redeemed  of 
the  Lord  shall  return,  and 
come  with  singing  unto  Zi'fin; 
and  everlasting  joy  shall  be 
upon  their  head:  they  shall 
obtain  gladness  and  joy;  and 
sorrow  and  mourning  shall  flee 
away. 

12  I.  even  I,  am  he  that 
fortethyou:  who  art  thou,  that 
thou  shouldest  be  afraid  of  a 
man  that  shall  die,  and  of  the 
son  of  man  which  shall  be  made 
as  grass; 

13  And  forgettest  the  Lord 
thy  maker,  that  hath  stretched 
forth  the  heavens,  and  laid  the 
foundations  of  the  earth;  and 
hast  feared  continually  every 
day  because  of  the  fury  of  the 
oppressor,  as  if  he  were  ready  to 
destroy?  and  where  is the  fury 
of  the  oppressor? 

14  The  captive  exile  hasten- 
eth  that  he  may  be  loosed,  and 
that  he  should  not  die  in  the 

it,  nor  that  his  bread  should 
ail. 

15  But  I  am  the  Lord  thy 
God,  that  divided  the  sea,  whose 
waves  roared:  The  Lord  of 
hosts  is  his  name. 

16  And  I  have  put  my  words 
in  thy  mouth,  and  I  have  cov- 
ered thee  in  the  shadow  of 
mine  hand,  that  I  may  plant 
the  heavens,  and  lay  the  foun- 
dations of  the  earth,  and  say 
unto  Zi'On,  Thou  art  my  people. 

17  1F  Awake,  awake,  stand 
up,  O  Jfrru'siUem,  which  hast 
drunk  at  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
the  cup  of  his  fury ;  thou  hast 
drunken  the  dregs  of  the  cup 
of  trembling,  ana  wrung  them 
put. 

18  There  is  none  to  guide  her 
among  all  the  sons  whom  she 
hath  brought  forth ;  neither  is 

685 


I! 


there  any  that  taketh  her  by 
the  hand  of  all  the  sons  that 
she  hath  brought  up. 

19  These  two  things  are  come 
unto  thee;  who  shall  be  sorry 
for  thee?  desolation,  and  de- 
struction, and  the  famine,  and 
the  sword:  by  whom  shall  I 
comfort  thee? 

20  Thy  sons  have  fainted, 
they  He  at  the  head  of  all  the 
streets,  as  a  wild  bull  in  a  net: 
they  are  full  of  the  fury  of  the 
Lord,  the  rebuke  of  thy  God. 

21  If Therefore  hear  now  this, 
thou  afflicted,  and  drunken,  but 
not  with  wine: 

22  Thus  saith  thy  Lord  the 
Lord,  and  thy  God  that  plead 
eth  the  cause  of  his  people,  Be- 
hold, I  have  taken  out  of  thine 
hand  the  cup  of  trembling,  even 
the  dregs  of  the  cup  of  my  fury ; 
thou  shalt  no  more  drink  it 
again : 

23  But  I  will  put  it  into  the 
hand  of  them  that  afflict  thee ; 
which  have  said  to  thy  soul, 
Bow  down,  that  we  may  go 
over:  and  thou  hast  laid  thy 
body  as  the  ground,  and  as  the 
street,  to  them  that  went  over. 

CHAPTER  52 

Th*  church  reused  with  God'e  prom- 
ise of  free  redemption.  7  Tiding  a 
of  the  goepel.  13  Prophecy  of  the 
glory  of  Christ  after  hie  sufferings. 

AWAKE,  awake;  put  on  thy 
strength,  O  Zi'6n;  put  on 
thy  beautiful  garments,  O  JC- 
ru/'sft-lem,  the  holy  city:  for 
henceforth  there  shall  no  more 
come  into  thee  the  uncircum- 
cised  and  the  unclean. 

2  Shake  thyself  from  the  dust ; 
arise,  and  sit  down,  O  Je-ru's&- 
l£m:  loose  thyself  from  the 
bands  of  thy  neck,  O  captive 
daughter  of  Zi'Sn. 

3  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye 
have  sold  yourselves  for  nought; 
and  ye  shall  be  redeemed  with- 
out money. 

4  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God,  My  people  went  down 
aforetime  into  E'fcjhrt  to  so- 
journ there ;  and  the  As-sjrr'l-an 
oppressed  them  without  cause. 

5  Now  therefore,  what  have 
I  here,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
my  people  is  taken  away  for 
nought?  they  that  rule  over 
them  make  them  to  howl,  saith 
the  Lord;  and  my  name  con 
tinually  every  day  is  blas- 
phemed. 

6  Therefore  my  people  shall 
know  my  name:  therefore  they 
shall  know  1n  that  day  that  I

7  IT  How  beautiful  upon  the 
mountains  are  the  feet  of  him 
that  bringeth  good  tidings, 
that  publisheth  peace;  that 
bringeth  good  tidings  of  good, 
that  publisheth  salvation ;  that 
saith  unto  ZI'5n,  Thy  God 
reigneth ! 

8  Thy  watchmen  shall  lift  up 
the  voice;  with  the  voice  to- 
gether shall  they  sing:  fox  they 
shall  see  eye  to  eye,  when  the 
Lord  shall  bring  again  Zi'Sn. 

9  Break  forth  into  joy,  sing 
together,  ye  waste  places  of 
Je-ru'sa-4em:  for  the  Lord  hath 
comforted  his  people,  he  hath 
redeemed  JS-ru  sfr-lem. 

10  The  Lord  hath  made  bare 
his  holy  arm  in  the  eyes  of 
all  the  nations;  and  all  the 
ends  of  the  earth  shall 
the  salvation  of  our  God. 

11  f  Depart  ye,  depart  ye,  go 
ye  out  from  thence,  touch  no  un- 
clean thing  ;  go  ye  out  of  the 
midst  of  her ;  be  ye  clean,  that 
bear  the  vessels  of  the  LoftD. 

12  For  ye  shall  not  go  out 
with  haste,  nor  go  by. flight: 
for  the  Lord  will  go  >  before 
you;  and  the  God  of  Is/ra-ei 
will  be  your  rereward. 

13  IT  Behold,  my  servant  shall 
deal  prudently,  he  shall  be  ex- 
alted and  extolled,  and  be  very 
high. 

14  As  many  were  astonied  at 
thee;  his  visage  was  so  marred 
more  than  any  man,  and  his 
form  more  than  the  sons  of 
men : 

15  So  shall  he  sprinkle  many 
nations;  the  kings  shall  shut 
their  mouths  at  him :  for  that 
which  had  not  been  fold  them 
shall  they  see;  and  that  which 
they  had  not  heard  shall  they 
consider. 

CHAPTER  53 

The  prophet  complains  of  the  want 
of  faith.  4  Suffering*  of  Christ, 
etc. 

WHO  hath  believed  our,  re- 
port?  and  to  whom  is 
the  arm  of  the  Lord  revealed? 

2  For  he  shall  grow  up  be- 
fore him  as  a  tender  plant, 
and  as  a  root  out  of  a  dry 
ground:  he  hath  no  form  nor 
comeliness;  and  when  we  shall 
see  him,  there  is  no  beauty 
that  we  should  desire  him. 

3  He  is  despised  and  rejected 
of  men;  a  man  of  sorrows, 
and  acquainted  with  grief :  and 
we  hid  as  it  were  our  faces 
from  him;  he  was  despised, 
and  we  esteemed  him  not 

4  IT  Surely  he  hath  borne  our 
griefs,  and  carried  our  sorrows : 


Ps.69.9,  Substitution. 

'2C0.5.T.. 


yet  we  did  esteem  hhn  stricken, 
smitten  of  God,  and  afflicted. 

5  But  he  was  wounded  for 
our  transgressions,  he  was 
bruised  for  our  iniquities:  the 
chastisement  of  our  peace  was 
upon  him;  and  with  his  stripes 
we  are  healed. 

6  All  we  like  sheep  have  gone 
astray;  we  have  turned  every 
one  to  his  own  way;  and  the 
Lord  hath  laid  on  him  the  in- 
iqnfty  of  as  aH.  : 

7  He  was  oppressed,  and  heJLu.4.29,  Persecution  (2) 
was  afflicted,  yet  he  opened  not] 
his  mouth :  he  is  brought 
Iamb  to  the  slaughter,  and  as 
a  sheep  before  her  shearers  is 

dumb,  so  he  openeth  not  hisjChrist's  Meekness.  MLUJ9, 
months 

8  He  was  taken  from  prison 
:  and  who 


and  from  judgment 
shall  declare  his  generation? 
for  he  was  cut  off  out  of  the 
land  of  the.  living:  for  the 
transgression  of  my  people  was 
he  stricken. 

9  And  he  made  his  grave  with 
the  wicked,  and  with  the  rich 
in  his  death;  because  he  had 
done  no  violence,  neither  was 
any  deceit  in  his  mouth. 

10  Yet  it  pleased  the  Lord  to 
bruise  him;  he  hath  put  him 
to  grief:  when  thou  shalt  make 
his  soul  an  offering  for  sin,  he 
shall  isee  his  seed,  he  shall  pro- 
long his  days,  and  the  pleasure 
of  the  Lord  shall  prosper  in  his 
hand. 

11  He  shall  see  of  the  travail 
of  his  soul,  and  shall  be  satis- 
fied: bv  his  knowledge  shall 
my  righteous  servant  justify 
many;  for  he  shall  beartneir 
iniquities. 

12  Therefore  will  I  divide  him 
a  portion  with  the  great,  and 
he  shall  divide  the  spoil  with 
the  strong;  because  he  hath 
poured  out  his  soul  uiito  death : 
and  he  was  numbered  with  the 
transgressors;  and  he  bare  the 
sin  of  many,  and  made  inter- 
cession for  the  transgressors. 

CHAPTER  54 

The  church  comforted  with  gracious 

promises. 

SING,  O  barren,  thou  that 
didst  not  bear;  break  forth 
into  singing,  and  cry  aloud,  thou 
Mat  didst  not  travail  with  child: 
for  more  are  the  children  of  the 
desolate  than  the  Children  of  the 
married  wife;  saith  the  Lord. 
2  Enlarge  the  place  of  thy 
tent,  and  let  them  stretch  forth 
the  curtains  of  thine  habita- 
tions: spare  not,  lengthen  thy 
cords,  and  strengthen  thy 
stakes;

3  For  thou  shalt  break  forth 
on  the  right  hand  and  on  the 
left ;  and  thy  seed  shall  inherit 
the  Gen'tiles,  and  make  the 
desolate  cities  to  be 

4  Fear  not ;  for  thou  shalt  not 
be  ashamed:  neither  be  thou 
confounded;  for  thou  shalt  not 
be  pat  to  shame :  for  thou  shalt 
forget  the  shame  of  thy  youth* 
and  shalt  not  remember  the  re- 
proach of  thy  widowhood  any 
more. 

5  For  thy  Maker  is  thine  hus- 
band; the  Lord  of  hosts  is  his 
name;  and  thy  Redeemer  the 
Holy  One  of  frra-el;  The  God 
of  the  whole  earth  shall  he  he 
called. 

6  For  the  Lord  hath  called 
thee  as  a  woman  forsaken  and 
grieved  in  spirit,  and  a  wife  of 
youth,  when  thou  wast  refused, 
saith  thy  God. 

7  For  a  small  moment  have  I 
forsaken  thee;  but  with  great 
mercies  will  I  gather  thee, 

8  In  a  little  wrath  I  hid  my 
face  from  thee  for  a  moment; 
but  with  everlasting  kindness 
will  I  have  mercy  on  thee,  saith 
the  Lord  thy  Redeemer. 

9  For  this  is>  as  the  waters  of 
Nfl'ah  unto  me:  for  as  I  have 
sworn  that  the  waters  of  N&'ah 
should  no  more  go  over  the 
earth;  so  have  I  sworn  that 
would  not  be  wroth  with  thee, 
nor  rebuke  thee. 

10  For  the  mountains  shall  de- 
part, and  the  hills  be  removed; 
out  mv  kindness  shall  not  de- 
part from  thee,  neither  shall 
the  covenant  of  my  peace  be 
removed,  saith  the  Lord  that 
hath  mercy  on  thee. 

11  HO  thou  afflicted,  tossed 
with  tempest,  and  not  comfort- 
ed, behold,  I  will  lay  thy  stones 
with  fair  colours,  and  lay  thy 
foundations  with  sapphires. 

12  And  I  will  make  thy  win- 
dows of  agates,  and  thy  gates 
of  carbuncles,  and  all  thy  bor- 
ders of  pleasant  stones. 

13  And  ail  thy  children  shall 
be  taught  of  the  Lord;  and 
great  shall  be  the  peace  of  thy 
children. 

14  In  righteousness  shalt  thou 
be  established:  thou  shalt  be 
far  from  oppression ;  for  thou 
shalt  not  fear:  and  from  ter- 
ror; for  it  shall  not  come  near 
thee. 

15  Behold,  they  shall  surely 
gather  together,  out  not  by  me 
whosoever  shall  gather  togeth- 
er against  thee  shall  fall  for  thy 
sake. 

16  Behold,  I  have  created  the 


smith  that  bloweth  the  coals  in 
the  fire,  and  that  bringeth  forth 
an  instrument  for  his  work ;  and 
I  have  created'  the  waster  to  de-

17  No  weapon  that  is  formed 
against  thee  shall  prosper;  and 
every  tongue  that  shall  rise 
against  thee  in  judgment  thou 
shalt  condemn.  This  is  the 
heritage  of  the  servants  of  the 
Lord,  and  their  righteousness 
is  of  me,  saith  the  Lord.1- 

CHAPTER  55     , 

The  prophet,  with  the  promise*  of 
Christ,  cam  to  faith.  6  and  to  re- 
pentance. 

HO,  every  one  that  thirsteth, 
come  ye  to  the  waters,  and 
he  that  hath  no  money;  come 
ye,  buy,  and  eat;  yea,  come,  buy 
wine  and  milk  without  money 
and  without  price. 

2  Wherefore  do  ye  spend  mon 
ey  for  that  which  is  not  bread  ? 
and  your  labour  for  that  which 
satisfiethnot?  hearken  diligent- 
ly unto  me,  and  eat  ye  that 
which  is  good,  and  let  your 
soul  delight  itself  in  fatness, 

3  Incline  your  ear,  and  come 
unto  me:  hear,  and  your  soul 
shall  live;  and  I  will  make  an 
everlasting  covenant  with  you, 
even  the  sure  mercies  of  D&'vid* 

4  Behold,  I  have  given  him 
for  a  witness  to  the  people,  a 

leader  and  commander  to  the 

people. 

5  Behold,  thou  shalt  call  a  na 
tion  that  thou  knowest  not,  and 
nations  that  knewnot  thee  shall 
run  unto  thee  because  of  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  for  the  Holy 
One  of  Is/ra-el ;  for  he  hath  glo- 
rified thee* 

6  USeek  ye  the  Lord  while  he 
may  be  found,  call  ye  upon  him 
while  he  is  near : 

7  Let  the  wicked  forsake  his 
way,  and  the  unrighteous  man 
his  thoughts :  and  let  him  re- 
turn  unto  the  Lord,  and  he  will 
have  mercy  upon  him;  and  to 
our  God,  for  he  will  abundantly 
pardon. 

8  TTFor  my  thoughts  are  not 
your  thoughts, neitherare  your 
ways  my  ways,  saith  the  Lord. 

9  For  as  the  heavens  are 
higher  than  the  earth,  so  are 
my  ways  hither  than  your  ways, 
and  my  thoughts  than  your 
thoughts. 

10  For  as  the  rain  cometh 
down,  and  the  snow  from  heav 
en,  and  returneth  not  thither, 
but  watereth  the  earth,  and 
maketh  it  bring  forth  and  bud, 
that  it  may  give  seed  to  the 
sower,  and  bread  to  the  eater:

shall  break  forth  before  you  in- 
to singing,  and  all  the  trees  of 
the  field  shall  clap  their  hands. 

13  Instead  of  the  thorn  shall 
come  up  the  fir  tree,  and  instead 
of  the  brier  shall  come  up  the 
myrtle  tree:  and  it  shall  be  to 
the  Lord  for  a  name,  for  an 
everlasting  sign  that  shall  not 
be  cut  off. 


CHAPTER  56 

God's  promises  without  respect  0/ 
persona.  9  The  church  distressed 
by  blind  watchmen. 
HRHUS  saith  the  Lord,  Keep 
X  ye  judgment;  and  do  jus- 
tice; for  my  salvation  is  near 
to  come,  and  my  righteousness 
to  be  revealed. 

2  Blessed  is  the  man  that 
doeth  this,  and  the  son  of  man 
that  layeth  hold  on  it;  that 
keepeth  the  sabbath  from  pol- 
luting it,  and  keepeth  his  hand 
from  doing  any  eviL 

3  fNeither  let  the  son  of  the 
stranger,  that  hath  joined  him 
self  to  the  Lord,  speak,  saying. 
The  Lord  hath  utterly  sepa- 
rated me  from  his  people :  nei- 
ther let  the  eunuch  say,  Behold, 
I  am  a  dry  tree. 

4  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  un- 
to the  eunuchs  that  keep  my 
sabbaths,  and  choose  the  things 
that  please  me,  and  take  hold  of 
my  covenant; 

5  Even  unto  them  will  I  give 
in  mine  house  and  within  my 
walls  a  place  and  a  name  better 
than  of  sons  and  of  daughters : 
I  will  give  them  an  everlasting 
name,  that  shall  not  be  cut  off. 

6  Also  the  sons  of  the  stran- 
ger, that  join:  themselves  to  the 
Lord,  to  serve  him,  and  to  love 
the  name  of  the  Lord,  to  be  his 
servants,  every  one  that  keep- 
eth the  sabbath  from  polluting 
it,  and  taketh  hold  of  my  cove- 
nant; 

7  Even  them  will  I  bring  to 
my  holy  mountain,  and  make 
them  joyful  in  my  house  of 
prayer:  their  burnt  offerings 
and  their  sacrifices  shall  be 
accepted  upon  mine  altar ;  for 
mine  house  shall  be  called  an 
house  of  prayer  for  all  people. 

8  The  Lord  God  which  fcath- 
ereth  the  outcasts  of  Is/ra-el 


saith.  Yet  will  I  gather  others 
to  him,  beside  those  that  are 
void,  [gathered  unto  him. 

9  1TA11  ye  beasts  of  the  field, 
come  to  devour,  yea,  all  ye 
beasts  in  the  forest 

10  His  watchmen  are  blind: 
they  are  all  ignorant,  they  are 
all  dumb  dogs,  they  cannot  bark; 
sleeping,  lying  down,  loving  to 
slumber. 

11  Yea,  they  ore  greedy  docs 
which  can  never  have  enough, 
and  they  are  shepherds  that 
cannot  understand:  they  all 
look  to  their  own  way,  every  one 
for  his  gain,  from  his  quarter. 

12  Come  ye,  say  they,  I  will 
fetch  wine,  and  we  will  fill  our- 
selves with  strong  drink;  and 
to  morrow  shall  be  as  this  day, 
and  much  more  abundant

CHAPTER  57 

Blessed  death  cf  the  righteous.  3  The 
Jews  reproved  for  their  idolatry. 
13  Promises  to  the  penitent. 

THE  righteous  perisheth,  and 
no  man  layeth  it  to  heart : 
and  merciful  men  are  taken 
away,  none  considering  that  the 
righteous  is  taken  away  from 
the  evil  to  come, 

2  He  shall  enter  into  peace: 
they  shall  rest  in  their  beds, 
each  one  walking  in  his  up- 
rightness. 

3  HBut  draw  near  hither,  ye 
sons  of  the  sorceress,  the  seed 
of  the  adulterer  and  the  whore, 

4  Against  whom  do  ye  sport 
yourselves?  against  whom  make 
ye  a  wide  mouth,  and  draw  out 
the  tongue?  are  ye  not  children 
of  transgression,,  a  seed  of  false- 
hood, 

5  Enflaming  yourselves  with 
idols  under  every  green  tree, 
slaying  the  children  in  the  val- 
leys under  the  clifts  of  the 
rocks? 

6  Among  the  smooth  stones 
of  the  stream  is  thy  portion; 
they,  they  are  thy  lot :  even  to 
them  hast  thou  poured  a  drink 
offering,  thou  hast  offered  a 
meatoffering.  Should  I  xeceive 
comfort  in  these? 

7  Upon  a  lofty  and  high  moun- 
tain hast  thou  set  thy  bed :  even 
thither  wentest  thou  up  to  offer 
sacrifice. 

8  Behind  the  doors  also  and 
the  posts  hast  thou  set  up  thy 
remembrance:  for  thou  hast 
discovered  thyself  to  anothet 
than  me,  and  art  gone  up ;  thou 
hast  enlarged  thy  bed,  and  made 
thee  a  covenant  with  them; 
thou  lovedst  their  bed  where 
thou  sawest  it 

9  And  thou  wentest  to  the

king  with  ointment,  and  didst 
increase  thy  perfumes,  and  didst 
send  thy  messengers  far  off,  and 
didst  debase  thyself  even  onto 
hell. 

11}  Thou  art  wearied  in  the 
greatness  of  thy  way ;  yet  saidat 
thou  not.  There  is  no  hope :  thou 
hast  found  the  life  of  thine 
hand ;  therefore  thou  wast .  not 
grieved. 

11  And  of  whom  hast  thou 
been  afraid  or  feared,  that  thou 
hast  lied,  and  hast  not  remem- 
bered me,  nor  laid  it  to  thy 
heart  ?  have  not  I  held  my  peace 
even  of  old,  and  thou  f  earest  me 
not? 

12  I  will  declare  thy  righteous- 
ness, and  thy  works;  for  they 
shall  not  profit  thee. 

13  When  thou  criest,  let  thy 
companies  deliver  thee ;  but  the 
wind  shall  carry  them  all  away ; 
vanity  shall  take  them :  but  he 
that  putteth  his  trust  in  me  shall 
possess  the  land,  and  shall  in- 
herit my  holy  mountain ; 

14  And  shall  say,  Cast  ye  up, 
cast  ye  up,  prepare  the  way, 
take  up  the  stumblinghlock  out 
of  the  way  of  my  people. 

15  For  thus  saith  the  high  and 
lofty  One  that  inhabiteth  eter- 
nity, whose  name  w  Holy;  1 
dwell  in  the  high  and  holy 
place,  with  him  also  that  is  of 
a  contrite  and  humble  spirit, 
to  revive  the  spirit  of  the  hum- 
ble, and  to  revive  the  heart  of 
the  contrite  ones. 

16  For  I  will  not  contend  for 
ever,  neither  will  I  be  always 
wroth :  for  the  spirit  should  fail 
before  me,  and  the  souls  which 
I  have  made. 

17  For  the  iniquity  of  his 
covetousness  was  I  wroth,  and 
smote  him :  I  hid  me,  and  was 
wroth,  and  he  went  on  frowardly 
in  the  way  of  his  heart 

18  I  have  seen  his  ways,  and 
will  heal  him:  I  will  lead  him 
also,  and  restore  comforts  unto 
him  and  to  his  mourners. 

19  I  create  the  fruit  of  the  lips ; 
Peace,  peace  to  him  that  is  far 
off,  and  to  him  that  is  near, 
saith  the  Lord;  and  I  will  heal 
him. 

20  But  the  wicked  are  like  the 
troubled  sea,  when  it  cannot 
rest,  whose  waters  cast  up  mire 
and  dirt 

21  There  is  no  peace,  saith 
my  God,  to  the  wicked.

/~1RY  aloud,  spare  not  lift  up 
\J  thy  voice  like  a  trumpet, 
and  shew  my  people  their  trans- 
gression, and  the  house  of  JS'- 
cob  their  sins. 

2  Yet  they  seek  me  daily,  and 
delight  to  know  my  ways,  as  a 
nation  that  did  righteousness, 
and  forsook  not  the  ordinance 
of  their  God:  they  ask  of  me 
the  ordinances  of  justice;  they 
take  delight  in  approaching  to 
God. 

3  Wherefore  have  we  fasted, 
say  they,  and  thou  seest  not? 
wherefore  have  we  afflicted  our 
soul,  and  thou  takest  no  knowl- 
edge? Behold,  in  the  day  of 
your  fast  ye  find  pleasure,  and 
exact  all  your  labours. 

4  Behold,  ye  fast  for  strife 
and  debate,  and  to  smite  with 
the  fist  of  wickedness:  ye  shall 
not  fast  as  ye  do  this  day,  to 
make  your  voice  to  be  heard 
on  high. 

5  Is  it  such  a  fast  that  I  have 
chosen?  a  day  for  a  man  to 
afflict  his  soul?  is  it  to  bow 
down  his  head  as  a  bulrush, 
and  to  spread  sackcloth  and 
ashes  under  him  ?  wilt  thou 
call  this  a  fast  and  an  accept- 
able day  to  the  Lord  ? 

6  Is  not  this  the  fast  that  I 
have  chosen  ?  to  loose  the  bands 
of  wickedness,  to  undo  the 
heavy  burdens,  and  to  let  the 
oppressed  go  free,  and  that  ye 
break  every  yoke? 

7  Is  it  not  to  deal  thy  bread  to 
the  hungry,  and  that  thou  bring 
the  poor  that  are  cast  out  to  thy 
house?  when  thou  seest  the  na- 
ked, that  thou  cover  him ;  and 
that  thou  hide  not  thyself  from 
thine  own  flesh? 

8  TThen  shall  thy  light  break 
forth  as  the  morning,  and  thine 
health  shall  spring  forth  speed- 
ily :  and  thy  righteousness  shall 
go  before  thee;  the  glory  of 
the  Lord  shall  be  thy  rereward. 

9  Then  shalt  thou  call,  and  the 
Lord  shall  answer;  thou  shalt 
cry,  and  he  shall  say,  Here 
am.  If  thou  take  away  from 
the  midst  of  thee  the  yoke,  the 
putting  forth  of  the  finger,  and 
speaking  vanity; 

10  And  if  thou  draw  out  thy 
soul  to  the  hungry,  and  satisfy 
the  afflicted  soul;  then  shall 
thy  light  rise  in  obscurity,  and 
thy  darkness  be  as  the  noon 
day: 

11  And  the  Lord  shall  guide 
thee  continually,  and  satisfy  thy 
soul  in  drought  and  make  fat 
thy  bones:  and  thou  shalt  be 
like  a  watered  garden,  and  like

BEHOLD,  the  Lord's  hand  is 
not  shortened,  that  it  can 
not  save;  neither  his  ear  heavy, 
that  it  cannot  hear: 

2  But  your  iniquities  have  sep-

God,  and  your  sins  have  hid  his 
face  from  you,  that  he  will  not 
hear. 

3  For  your  hands  are  defiled 
with  blood,  and  your  fingers 
with  iniquity;  your  lips  have 
spoken  lies,  your  tongue  hath 
muttered  perverseness. 

4  None  calleth  for  justice,  nor 
any  pleadeth  for  truth:  they 
trust  in  vanity,  and  speak  lies ; 
they  conceive  mischief,  and 
bring  forth  iniquity.    ' 

5  They  hatch  cockatrice'  eggs, 
and  weave  the  spider's  web:  he 
that  eateth  of  their  eggs  dieth, 
and  that  which  is  crushed  break- 
eth  out  into:  a  viper. 

6  Their  webs  shall  not  be- 
come garments,  neither  shall 
they  cover  themselves  with 
their  works:  their  works  are 
works  of  iniquity,  and  the  act 
of  violence  is  in  their  hands. 

7  Their  feet  run  to  evil,  and 
they  make  haste  to  shed  inno- 
cent blood:  their  thoughts  are 
thoughts  of  iniquity;  wasting 
and  destruction  are  in  their 
paths. 

8  The  way  of  peace  they 
know  not;  and  there  is  no 
judgment  in  their  goings:  they 
have  made  them  crooked  paths 


whosoever  goeth  therein  shall 
not  know  peace. 

9  IT  Therefore  is  judgment  far 
from  us,  neither  doth  justice 
overtake  us :  we  wait  for  light, 
but  behold  obscurity;  for  bright- 
ness, but  we  walk  in  darkness. 

10  We  erope  for  the  wall  like 
the  blind,  and  we  grope  as  if 
we  had  no  eyes :  we  stumble  at 
noon  day  as  in  the  night;  we 
are  in  desolate  places  as  dead 
men.   •• 

11  We  roar  all  like  bears, 
and  mourn  sore  like  doves:  we 
look  for  judgment,  but  there  is 
none;  for  salvation,  but  it  is 
far  off  from  us. 

12  For  our  transgressions  are 
multiplied  before  thee,  and  our 
sins  testify  against  us:  for  our 
transgressions  are  with  us; 
and  as  for  our  iniquities,  we 
know  them; 

13  In  transgressing  and  lying 
against  the  Lord,  and  depart- 
ing away  from  our  God,  speak- 
ing oppression  and  revolt,  con- 
ceiving and  uttering  from  the 
heart  words  of  falsehood. 

14  And  judgment  is  turned 
away  backward,  and  justice 
standeth  afar  off:  for  truth 
is  fallen  in  the  street,  and 
equity  cannot  enter. 

15  Yea,  truth  faileth;  and  he 
that  departeth  from  evil  mak- 
eth  himself  a  prey:  and  the 
Lord  saw  it,  and  it  displeased 
him  that  there  was  no  judg- 
ment 

16  I  And  he  saw  that  there 
was  no  man,  and  wondered 
that  there  was  no  intercessor: 
therefore  his  arm  brought  salva- 
tion unto  him;  and  his  right 
eousness,  it  sustained  him. 

17  For  he  put  on  righteous- 
ness as  a  breastplate,  and  an 
helmet  of  salvation  upon  his 
head;  and  he  put  on  the  gar- 
ments of  vengeance  for  cloth- 
ing, and  was  clad  with  seal  as  a 
cloke. 

18  According  to  their  deeds, 
accordingly  he  will  repay,  fury 
to  his  adversaries,  recompence 
to  his  enemies;  to  the  islands 
he  will  repay  recompence. 

19  So  shall  they  fear  the  name 
of  the  Lord  from  the  west,  and 
his  glory  from  the  rising  of  the 
sun.  When  the  enemy  shall 
come  in  like  a  flood,  the  Spirit 
of  the  Lord  shall  lift  up 
standard  against  him. 

20  ITAnd  the  Redeemer  shall 
come  to  Zf'on,  and  unto  them 
that  turn  from  transgression  in 
Jfi'cob,  saith  the  Lord. 

21  As  for  me,  this  is  my  cove-

CHAPTER  60 

Glory  of  the  church  in  the  abundant 
access  of  the  Gentiles,  15  and  her 
great  blessing*  after  a  short  affiit- 
tipn. 

ARISE,  shine;  for  thy  light 
is  come,  and  the  glory  of 
the  Lord  is  risen  upon  thee. 

2  For,  heboid,  the  darkness 
shall  cover  the  earth,  and  gross 
darkness  the  people:  but  the 
Lord  shall  arise  upon  thee,  and 
his  glory  shall  be  seen  upon 
thee. 

3  And  the  Gen'tilea  shall  come 
to  thy  light,  and  kings  to  the 
brightness  of  thy  rising. 

4  lift  up  thine  eyes  round 
about,  ana  see :  all  they  gather 
themselves  together,  they  come 
to  thee:  thy  sons  shall  come 
from  far,  and  thy  daughters 
shall  be  nursed  at  thy  side. 

5  Then  thou  shalt  see,  and 
flow  together,  and  thine  heart 
shall  fear,  and  be  enlarged;  be- 
cause the  abundance  of  the  sea 
shall  be  converted  unto  thee, 
the  forces  of  the  Gfen'tileg  shall 
come  unto  thee.  * 

6  The  multitude  of  camels 
shall  cover  thee,  the  drome- 
daries of  Mld'ton  and  E'phah ; 
all  they  from  She^ba  shall  come : 
they  shall. bring  gold  and  in* 
cense;  and  they  shall  shew 
forth  the  praises  of  the  Lord. 

7  All  the  flocks  of  Kt'dar  shall 
be  gathered  together  unto  thee, 
the  rams  of  Ne-ba'ioth  shall 
minister  unto  thee:  they  shall 
come  up  with  acceptance  on 
mine  altar,  and  I  will  glorify 
the  house  of  my  glory. 

8  Who  are  these  that  fly  as  a 
cloud,  and  as  the  doves  to  their 
windows? 

9  Surely  the  isles  shall  wait 
for  me,  and  the  ships  of  Tar'- 
shish  first,  Uy  bring  thy  sons 
from  far,  their  silver  and  their 
gold  with  them,  unto  the  name 
of  the  Lord  thv  God,  and  to  the 
Holy  One  of  Is/ra-el,  because  he 
hath  glorified  thee.. 

10  And  the. sons  of  strangers 
shall  build  up  thy  walls,  and 
their  kings  shall  minister  unto 
thee:  for  in  my  wrath  I  smote 
thee,  but  in  my  favour  have  ~ 
had  mercy  on  thee. 

11  Therefore  thy  gates  shall 

691 


be  open  continually ;  they  shalt  See  Access,  Pa.24.3. 
not  be  shut  day  nor  night ;  that 
men  may  bring  unto  thee  the 
forces  of  the  GeVtileg,  and  that 
their  kings  may  be  brought 

12  For  the  nation  and  king- 
dom that  will  not  serve  thee 
shall  perish  j  yea,  those  nations 
shall  be  utterly  wasted. 

13  The  glory  of  L2b'a*non  shall 
come  onto  thee,  the  fir  tree,  the 
pine  tree,  and  the  box  together, 
to  beautify  the  place  of  my 
sanctuary;  and  I  will  make: the 
place  of  my  feet  glorious. 

14  The  sons  also  of  them  .that 
afflicted  thee  shall  come  bend- 
ing unto  thee;  and  all  they  De.26.19,  Israel  Ifxalted. 
that  despised  thee  shall  bow 
themselves'  down  at  the  soles  of 
thy  feet;  and  they  shall  call 
thee,  The  city  of  the  Lord,  The 
Zi'on  of  the  Holy  One  of  Ig'ra-el. 

15  Whereas  thon  hast,  been 
forsaken  and  hated,  so  that  no 
man  went  through  thee,  I  will 
make  thee  »an  eternal  excel" 
lency,  a  joy  of  many  genera- 
tions. 

16  Thou  shalt  also  suck  the 
milk  of  the  Gen'tiLea,  and  shalt 
suck  the  breast  of  kings:  and 
thou  shalt  know  that  I  the  Lord 
am  thy  Saviour  and  thy  Re- 
deemer, the  mighty  One  of 
Jft'cob. 

17  For  brass  I  will  bring  gold, 
and  for  iron  I  will  bring  silver, 
and  for  wood  brass,  and  for 
stones  iron:  I  will  also  make 
thy  officers  peace,  and  thine 
exactors  righteousness. 

18  Violence  shall  no  more  be 
heard  in  thy  land,  wasting  nor 
destruction  within  thy  borders ; 
but  thou  shalt  call  thy  walls 
Salvation,  and  thy  gates  Praise. 

19  The  sun  shall  be  no  more 
thy  light  by  day ;  neither  for 
brightness  shall  the  moon  give 
light  unto  thee:  but  the  Lord 
shall  be  unto  thee  an  everlast- 
ing light,  and  thy  God  thy  glory. 

20  Thy  sun  shall  no  more  go 
down;  neither  shall  thy  moon 
withdraw  itself :  for  the  Lord 
shall  be  thine  everlasting  light, 
and  the  days  of  thy  mourning 
shall  be  ended. 

21  Thy  people  also  shall  be 
all  righteous :  they  shall  inherit 
the  land  for  ever,  the  branch  of 
my  planting,  the  work  of  my 
hands,  that  1  may  be  glorified. 

22  A  little  one  shall  become 
a  thousand,  and  a  small  one  a 
strong  nation :  I  the  Lord  will 
hasten  it  in  his  time.

rpHE  Spirit  of  the  Lord  God 
X  is  upon  me;  because  the 
Lord  hath  anointed  me  to 
preach  good  tidings  unto  the 
meek;  he  hath  sent  me  to  bind 
up  the  brokenhearted,  to  pro- 
claim liberty  to  the  captives, 
and  the  opening  of  the  prison 
to  them  that  are  bound ; 

2  To  proclaim  ther  acceptable 
year  of  the  Lord,  and  the  day 
of  vengeance  of  our  God;  to 
comfort  all  that  mourn; 

3  To  appoint  unto  them  that 
mourn  in  ZI'dn,  to  give  unto 
•them  beauty  for  ashes,  the  oil 
of  joy  for  mourning,  the  gar- 
ment of  praise  for  the  spirit  of 
heaviness;  that  they  might  be 
called  trees  of  righteousness, 
the  planting  of  the  Lord,  that 
he  might  be  glorified. 

4  IT  And  they  shall  build  the 
old  wastes,  thev  shall  raise  u] 
the    former    desolations,    am 
they  shall  repair  the  waste  cit- 
ies, the  desolations  of  many  gen- 
erations. 

5  And  strangers  shall  stand 
and  feed  your  flocks,  and  the 
sons  of  the  alien  shall  be  your 
plowmen  and  your  vinedressers. 

6  But  ye  shall  be  named  the 
Priests  of  the  Lord:  men  shall 
call  you  the  Ministers  of  our 
God :  ye  shall  eat  the  riches  of 
the  CeVtiles,  and  in  their  glory 
shall  ye  boast  yourselves. 

7  For  your  shame  ye  shall 
have  double;  and  for  confu- 
sion they  shall  rejoice  in  their 
portion :  therefore  in  their  land 
they  shall  possess  the  double: 
everlasting  joy  shall  be  unto 
them. 

8  For  I  the  Lord  love  judg- 
ment, I  hate  robbery  for  burnt 
offering;  and  I  will  direct  their 
work  in  truth,  and  I  will  make 
an  everlasting  covenant  with 
them. 

9  And  their  seed  shall  be 
known  among  the  Gen'tileg, 
and  their  offspring  among  the 
people:  air  that  see  them  shall 
acknowledge  them,  that  they 
are  the  seed  which  the  Lord 
hath  blessed. 

10  I  will  greatly  rejoice  in 
the  Lord,  my  soul  shall  be  joy- 
ful in  my  God;  for  he  hath 
clothed  me  with  the  garments 
of  salvation,  he  hath  covered  me 
with  the  robe  of  righteousness, 
as  a  bridegroom  decketh  him- 
self with  ornaments,  and  as  a 
bride  adometh  herself  with  her 
jewels. 

11  For  as  the  earth  bringeth 
forth  her  bud,  and  as  the  gar- 
den causeth  the  things  that  are 


sown  in  it  to  spring  forth;  so 
the  Lord  God  will  cause  right- 
eousness and  praise  to  spring 
forth  before  all  the  nations. 

CHAPTER  62 

The  prophet'*  fervent  teal  for  the  qo- 
complishment  of  God's  promises  to 
his  chwrch,  6  Ministers  incited  to 
like  importunity. 

FIR  Zi'ftn's  sake  will  I  not 
hold  my  peace,  and  for  J&-

until  the  righteousness  thereof 
go  forth  as  brightness,  and  the 
salvation  thereof  as  a  lamp  that 
burneth. 

2  And  the  Gen'tile?  shall  see 
thy  righteousness,  and  all  kings 
thy  glory:  and  thou  shalt  be 
called  by  a  new  name,  which 
the  mouth  of  the  Lord  shall 
name. 

3  Thou  shalt  also  be  a  crown 
of  glory  in  the  hand  of  the 
Lord,  and  a  royal  diadem  in 
the  hand  of  thy  God. 

4  Thou  shalt  no  more  be 
termed  Forsaken ;  neither  shall 
thy  land  any  more  be  termed 
Desolate:  but  thou  shalt  be 
called  Heph'ri-bah,  and  thy 
land  Beftlah :  for  the  Lord  de- 
lighteth  in  thee,  and  thy  land 
shall  be  married. 

5  For  as  a  young  man  mar* 
rieth  a  virgin,  so  shall  thy  sons 
marry* thee:  and  as  the' bride- 
groom rejoiceth  over  the  bride, 
so  shall  thy  God  rejoice  over 
thee. 

6  IT  I  have  set  watchmen  up- 
on thy  walls,  O  J6-ru'sa>lem, 
which  shall  never  hold  their 
peace  day  nor  night:  ye  that 
make  mention  of  the  Lord, 
keep  not  silence, 

7  And  give  him  no  rest,  till  he 
establish,  and  till  he  make  J€- 
ru'sfi-lem  a  praise  in  the  earth. 

8  The  Lord  hath  sworn  by 
his  right  hand,  and  by  the  arm 
of  his  strength,  Surely  I  will  no 
more  give  thy  corn  to  be  meat 
for  thine  enemies ;  and  the  sons 
Of  the  stranger  shall 'not  drink 
thy  wine,  for  the  which  thou 
hast  laboured: 

9  But  they  that  have  gathered 
it  shall  eat  it,  and  praise  the 
Lord;  and  they  that  have 
brought  it  together  shall  drink 
it  in  the  courts  of  my  holiness. 

10  If  Go  through,  go  through 
the  gates ;  prepare  ye  the  way 
of  the  people ;  cast  up,  cast  up 
the  highway;  gather  out  the 
stones;  lift  up  a  standard  for 
the  people. 

11  Behold,  the  Lord  hath  pro- 
claimed unto  the  end  of  the 
world,  Say  ye  to  the  daughter

The  holy  people,  The  redeemed

CHAPTER  63 

Christ  shews  his  power  to  save.  7  A 
thankful  remembrance  of  God's 
levins/kindness  to  his  people*. 

WHO  is  this  that  cometh 
from  E'dom,  with  dyed 
garments  from  BbVrah?  this 
that  is  glorious  in  his  apparel, 
travelling  in  the  greatness  of 
his  strength?  I  that  speak  in 
righteousness,  mighty  to  save. 

2  Wherefore  art  thou,  red  in 
thine  apparel,  and  thy  garments 
like  him  that  treadeth  in  the 
winefat? 

3  I  have  trodden  the  wine- 
press alone;  and  of  the  people 
there  was  none  with  me:  for  I 
will  tread  them  in  mine  anger, 
and  trample  them  in  my  fury ; 
and  their  blood  shall  be  sprin- 
kled upon  my  garments,  and  I 
will  stain  all  my  raiment 

4  For  the  day  of  vengeance  is 
in  mine  heart;  and  the^year  of 
my  redeemed  is  come. 

5  And  I  looked,  and  there  was 
none  to  help;  and  I  wondered 
that  there  was  none  to  uphold : 
thereforemine  own  arm  brought 
salvation  unto  me;  and  my 
fury,  it  upheld  me. 

6  And  I  will  tread  down  the 
people  in  mine  anger,  and  make 
them  drunk  in.  my  fury,  and  I 
will  bring  down  their  strength 
to  the  earth. 

7  IT  I  will  mention  the  loving- 
kindnesses  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
praises  of  the  Lord,  according 
to  all  that  the  Lord  hath  be- 
stowed on  us, .  and  the  great 
goodness  toward  the  house  of 
Ia'ra-el,  which  he  hath  bestowed 
on  them  according  to  his  mer- 
cies, and  according  to  the  mul- 
titude of  his  lovingkindnes8es. 

8  For  he  said,  Surely  they  are 
my  people,  children  that  will 
not  he :  so  he  was  their  Saviour. 

9  In  all  their  affliction  he  was 
afflicted,  and  the  angel  of  his 
presence  <  saved  them:  in  his 
love  and  in  his  pity  he  re- 
deemed them ;  and  he  bare 
them,  and  carried  them  all  the 
days  of  old. 

10  But  they  rebelled,  and 
vexed  his  holy  Spirit:  there- 
fore he  was  turned  t6  be  their 
enemy,  and  he  fought  against 
them. 


11  IF  Then  he  remembered 
the  days  of  old,  Mft'aeg,  and  his 
people,  saying,  Where  is  he 
that  brought  them  up  out  of 
the  sea  with  the  shepherd  of 
his  flock?  where  is  he  that  put 
his  holy  Spirit  within  him? 

12  That  led  them  by  the  right 
hand  of  MS'ges.  with  his  glorious 
arm,  dividing  the  water  before 
them,  to  make  himself  an  ever- 
lasting name? 

13  That  led  them  through  the 
deep,  as  an  horse  in  the  wil- 
derness, that  they  should  not 
stumble? 

14  As  a  beast  goeth  down  in- 
to the  valley,  the  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  caused  him  to  rest:  so 
didst  thou  lead  thy  people,  to 
make  thyself  a  glorious  name. 

15  IF  Look  down  from  heaven, 
and  behold  from  the  habitation 
of  thy  holiness  and  of  thy  glo- 
ry: where  is  thy  seal  and  thy 
strength,  the  sounding  of  thy 
bowels  and  of  thy  mercies  to- 
ward me  ?  are  they  restrained  ? 

16  Doubtless  thou  art  our  fa- 
ther, though  Al>ra-h&m  be  igno- 
rant of  us,  and  Ig'ra-el  acknowl- 
edge us  hot :  thou,  O  Lord,  art 
our  father,  our  redeemer;  thy 
name  is  from  everlasting. 

17  1TO  Lord,  why  hast  thou 
made  us  to  err  from  thy  ways, 
and  hardened  our  heart  from 
thy  fear?  Return  for  thy  serv* 
ants'  sake,  the  tribes  of  thine 
inheritance. 

18  The  people  of  thy  holiness 
have  possessed  it  but  a  little 
while:  our  adversaries  have 
trodden  down  thy  sanctuary. 

19  We  are  thine :  thou  never 
barest  rule  over  them;  they 
were  not  called  by  thy  name. 

CHAPTER  64 

Prayer  for  the  illustration  of  God's 
power,  9  and  complaint  of  the 
church* 

OH  that  thou  wouldest  rend 
the  heavens,  that  thou 
wouldest  come  down,  that  the 
mountains  might  flow  down  at 
thy  presence, 

2  As  when  the  melting  fire 
burnetii,  the  fire  causeth  the 
waters  to  boil,  to  make  thy  name 
known  to  thine  adversaries,  that 
the  nations  may  tremble  at  thy 
presence  1 

3  When  thou  didst  terrible 
things  which  we  looked  not  for, 
thou  earnest  down,  the .  moun- 
tains flowed  down  at  thy  pres- 
ence. 

4  For  since  the  beginning  of 
the  world  men  have  not  heard, 
nor  perceived  by  the  ear,  neither 
hath  the  eye  seen,  O  God,  beside

thee,  what  he  hath  prepared  for 
him  that  waiteth  for  him. 

5  Thou  meetest  him  that  re- 
joiceth  and  worketh  righteous* 
ness,  those  that  remember  thee 
in  thy  ways:  behold,  thou  art 
wroth;  for  we  have  sinned:  in 
those  is  continuance,  and  we 
shall  be  saved. 

6  But  we  are  all  as  an  un- 
clean thing,  and  all  'our  right- 
eousnesses are  as  filthy  rags; 
arid  we  all  do  fade  as  a  leaf ; 
and  our  iniquities,  like  the  wind, 
have  taken  us  away. 

7  And  there  is  none  that  call- 
eth  upon  thy  name,  that  stirreth 
up1  himself  to  take  hold  of  thee: 
for  thou  hast  hid  thy  face  from 
us,  and  hast  consumed  us,  be- 
cause of  our  iniquities. 

&  But  now,  O  Lord,  thou  art 
our  father;  we  are  the  clay,  and 
thou  our  potter;  and  we  all  are 
the  work  of  thy  hand. 

9  Be  not  wroth   very  sore,

iquity for  ever :  behold,  see,  we 
beseech  thee,  we  are  all  thy 
people.   . 

10  Thy  holy  cities  are  a  wil- 
derness, Zffin  is  a  wilderness, 
Je-ru'aa-lem  a  desolation. 

11  Our  holy  and  our  beautiful 
house,  where  our  fathers  praised 
thee,  is  burned  up  with  fire:  and 
all  our  pleasant  things  are  laid 
waste. 

U  Wilt  thou  refrain  thyself 
for  these  things,  O  Lord?  wilt 
thou  hold  thy  peace,  and  afflict 
us  very  sore? 

CHAPTER  65 

7%s  Gentiles  catted.  2  The  Jewe  re- 
jected. 8  A  remnant  waved.  17 
Bleeeed  etate  of  the  new  Jerusalem. 

I  AM  sought  of  them  that 
asked  not  for  trie;  I  am 
found  of  them  that  sought  me 
not:  I  said,  Behold  me, behold 
me,  unto  a  nation  that  mas  not 
called  by  my  name. 

2  I  have  spread  out  my  hands 
all  the  day  unto  a  rebellious 
people,  which  walketh  in  a  way 
that  was  not  good,  after  their 
own  thoughts; 

3  A  people  that  provoketh  me 
to  anger  continually  to  my  face ; 
that  sacrificeth  in  gardens,  and 
burneth  incense  upon  altars  of 
brick; 

4  Which  remain  among  the 
graves,  and  lodge  in  the  monu- 
ments, which  eat  swine's  flesh, 
and  broth  of  abominable  things 
is  in  their  vessels; 

5  Which  say,  Stand  by  thy- 
self, come  not  near  to  me;  for 

1  am  holier  than  thou.    These 


are  a  smoke  in  my  nose,  a  fire 
that  burneth  all  the  day.  • 

6  Behold^  it  is  written  before 
me :  I  will  not  keep  silence,  but 
will  recompense,  even  recom- 
pense into  their  bosom, 

7  Your  iniquities,  and  the 
iniquities  of  your  fathers  to- 

ether,  saith  the  Lord,  which 
ave  burned  incense  upon  the 
mountains,  and  blasphemed  me 
upon  the  hills :  therefore  will  I 
measure  their  former  work  into 
their  bosom. 

8  ITThus  saith  the  Lord,  As 
the  new  wine  is  found  in  the 
duster,  and  one  saith,  Destroy 
it  not;  for  a  blessing  is  in  it: 
so  will  I  do  for  my  servants' 
sakes,  that  I  may  not  destroy 
themalL 

9  And  I  will  bring  forth  a 
seed  out  of  Jfl'cob,  and  out-  of 
Ju'dah  an  inheritor  of  my  mean- 
tains:  and  mine  elect  shall  in- 
herit it,  and  my  servants  shall 
dwell  there. 

10  And  Shtr-on  shall  be  a 
fold  of  flocks,  and  the  valley  of 
A'chdr  a  place  for  the  herds  to 
lie  down  in,  for  my  people  that 
have  sought  me. 

11  TOut  ye  are  they  that  for- 
sake the  Lord,  that  forget  my 
holy  mountain,  that  prepare  a 
table  for  that  troop,  and  that 
furnish  the  drink  offering  unto 
that  number. 

12  Therefore  will  I  number 
you  to  the  sword;  and  ye  shall 
all  bow  down  to  the  slaughter: 
because  when  I  called,  ye  did 
not  answer;  when  I  spake,  ye 
did  not  hear;  but  did  evil  before 
mine  eyes,  and  did  choose  that 
wherein  I  delighted  not 

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God,  Behold,  my  servants 
shall  eat,  but  ye  shall  be  hungry : 
behold,  my  servants  shall  drink, 
but  ye  shall  be  thirsty  x  behold, 
my  servants  shall  rejoice,  but 
ye  shall  be  ashamed : 

14  Behold,  my  servants  shall 
sing  for  joy  of  hearty  but  ye 
shall  cry  for  sorrow  of  heart; 
and  shall  howl  for  vexation  of 
spirit 

15  And  ye  shall  leave  your 
name  for  a  curse  ilnto  mv 
chosen:  for  the  Lord  God  shall 
slay  thee,  and  call  his  servants 
by  another  name : 

16  That  he  who  blesseth  him 
self  in  the  earth  shall  bless  him- 
self in  the  God  of  troth;  and 
he  that  sweareth  in  the  earth 
shall  swear  bv  the  God  of  truth; 
because  the  former  troubles  are 
forgotten,  and  because  they  are 
hid  from  mine  eyes.

17  HFor,  behold,  I  create  new 
heavens  and  a  new  earth :  and 
the  former  shall  not  be  remem- 
bered, nor  come  into  mind. 

18  But  be  ye  glad  and  rejoice 
for  ever  in  that  which  I  create: 
for,  behold,  I  create  J£»ru'sa-lem 
a  rejoicing,  and  her  people  a 
joy. 

19  And  I.  will  rejoice  in  Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  and  joy  in  my  people : 
and  the  voice  of  weeping  shall 
be  no  more  heard  in  her,  nor 
the  voice  of  crying. 

20  There  shall  T>e  no  more 
thence  an  infant  of  days,  nor 
an  old  man  that  hath,  not  filled 
his  days :  for  the  child  shall  die 
an  hundred  years  old ;  but  the 
sinner  being  an  hundred  years 
old  shall  he  accursed. 

21  And  they  shall  build  houses, 
and  inhabit  them;  and  they 
shall  plant  vineyards,  and  eat 
the  fruit  of  them. 

22  They  shall  not  build,  and 
another  inhabit;  they  shall  not 
plant,  and  another  eat:,  for  as 
the  days  of  a  tree  are  the  days 
of  my  people,  and  mine  elect 
shall  long  enjoy  the  work  of 
their  hands. 

23  They  shall  not  labour  in 
vain,  nor  bring  forth  for  trou- 
ble ;  for  they  are  the  seed  of  the 
blessed  of  the  Lord,  and  their 

offspring  with  them. 

24  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  before  they  call,  I  will 
answer;  and  while  they  are  yet 
speaking,  1  will  hear. 

25  The  wolf  and  the  lamb  shall 
feed  together,  and  the  Hon  shall 
eat  straw  like  the  bullock :  and 
dust  shall  be  the  serpent's  meat 
They  shall  not  hurt  nor  destroy 
in  all  my  holy  mountain,  saith 
the  Lord, 

CHAPTER  66 

God  vntl  be  served  in  humble  sincer-

God'*  severe  judgments  against  the 
wicked. 

fTTHUS  saith  the  Lord,  The 
JL  heaven  is  my  throne,  and, 
the  earth  is  my  footstool:  where 
is  the  house  that  ye  build  unto 
me?  and  where  is  the  place  of 
my  rest  7 

2  For  all  those  things  hath 
mine  hand  made,  and  all  those 
things  have  been,  saith  the 
Lord  :  but  to  this  man.  will  I 
look,  even  to  him  that  is  poor 
and  of  a  contrite  spirit,  and 
trembleth  at  my  word. 

3  He  that  killeth  an  ox  is  as 
tf  he  slew  a  man ;  he  that  sacri- 
ficeth  a  lamb,  as  if  he  cut  off  a 
dog's  neck;  he  that  offereth  an 
oblation,a8  if  he  offered  swine's 


blood;  he  that  burneth  incense, 
as  if  he  blessed  an  idol.  Yea, 
they  have  chosen  their  own 
ways,  and  their  soul  delighteth 
in  their  abominations. 

4  I;  also  will  choose  their  de- 
lusions, and  will  bring  their 
fears  upon  them;  because  when 
I  called,  none  did  answer;  when 
I  spake,  they  did  not  hear:  but 
they  did  evil  before  mine  eyes, 
and:  chose  that  in  which  I  de- 
lighted not 

5  HHear  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
ye  that  tremble  at  his  word; 
Your  brethren  that  hated  you* 
that  cast  you  out  for  my  name's 
sake,  said,  Let  the  Lord  be 
glorified:  but  he  shall  appear 
to  your  joy,  and  they  shall  be 
ashamed. 

6  A  voice  of  noise  from  the 
city,  a  voice  from  the  temple,  a 
voice  of  the  Lord  that  render- 
eth  recompence.  to  his  enemies. 

7  Before  she  travailed,  she 
brought  forth ;  before  her  pain 
came,  she  was  delivered  of  a 
man  child. 

8  Who  hath  heard  such  a 
thing?  who  hath  seen  such 
things?  Shall  the  earth  be  made 
to  bring  forth  in  one  day?  or 
shall  a  nation  be  born  at  once? 
for  as  soon  as  Zi'Sn  travailed, 
she  brought  forth  her  children, 

9  Shall  I  bring  to  the  birth, 
and  not  cause  to  bring  forth? 
saith  the  Lord:  shall  I  cause 
to  bring  forth,  and  shut  the 
womb  ?  saith  thy  God. 

10  Rejoice  ye  with  Je-ru'saV 
15m,  and  be  glad  with  her,  all 
ye  that  love  her:  rejoice  for 
joy  with  her,  all  ye  that  mourn 
for  her: 

11  That  ye  may  suck,  and  be 
satisfied  with  the  breasts  of  her 
consolations ;  that  ye  may  milk 
out,  and  be  delighted  with  the 
abundance  of  her  glory. 

12  For  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Behold,  I  will  extend  peace  to 
her  like  a  river,  and  the  glory 
of.  the  Gen'tiles.  like  a  flowing 
stream :  then  shall  ye  suck,  ye 
shall  be  borne  upon  her  sides, 
and  be  dandled  upon  her  knees. 

13  As  one  whom  his  mother 
comforteth,  so  will  I  comfort 
you ;  and  ye  shall  be  comforted 
in  JS-ni'sfi-lem. 

14  And  when  ye  see  this, 
your  heart  shall  rejoice,  and 
your  bones  shall  flourish  like  an 
herb:  and  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
shall  be  known  toward  his  serv- 
ants, and  his  indignation  to- 
ward his  enemies. 

15  For,  behold,  the  Lord  will 
come  with  fire,  and  with  his

render  his  anger  with  fury,  and 
his  rebuke  with  flames  of  fire. 

16  For  by  fire  and  by  his 
sword  will  the  Lord  plead  with 
all  flesh:  and  the  slain  of  the 
Lord  shall  be  many. 

17  They  that  sanctify  them- 
selves, and  purify  themselves 
in  the  gardens  behind  one  tree 
in  the  midst,  eating  swine's 
flesh,  and  the  abomination,  and 
the  mouse,  shall  be  consumed 
together,  saith  the  Lord. 

18  For  I  fenou?  their  works  and 
their  thoughts:  it  shall  come, 
that  I  will  gather  all  nations 
and  tongues;  and  they  shall 
come,  and  see  my  glory. 

19  And  I  will  set  a  sign  among 
them,  and  I  will  send  those  that 
escape  of  them  unto  the  nations, 
to  TaVshish,  Pfil,  and  Lfid,  that 
draw  the  bow,  to  TuT>al,  and 
Jft'vun,  to  the  isles  afar  off,  that 
have  not  heard  my  fame,  nei- 
ther have  seen  my  glory;  and 
they  shall  declare  my  glory 
among  the  CSn'tile*, 

20  And  they  shall  bring  all 
your  brethren  for  an  offering 


unto  the  Lord  out  of  all  nations 
upon  horses,  and  in  chariots 
and  in  litters,  and  upon  mules, 
and  upon  swift  beasts,  to  my 
holy  mountain  JS-ru'sft-Iem, 
saith  the  Lord,  as  the  chil- 
dren of  Ig'ra-el  bring  an  offer- 
ing in  a  clean  vessel  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

21  And  I  wHl  also  take  of  them 
for  priests  and  for  LFvites, 
saith  the  Lord. 

22  For  as  the  new  heavens 
and  the  new  earth,  Which  I  will 
make,  shall  remain  before  me, 
saith  the  Lord,  so  shall  your 
seed  and  your  name  remain. 

23  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  from  one  new  moon  to 
another,  and  from  one  sabbath 
to  another,  shall  all  flesh  come 
to  worship  before  me,  saith  the 
Lord. 

24  And  they  shall  go  forth, 
and  look  upon  the  carcases  of 
the  men  that  have  transgressed 
against  me:  for  their  worm 
shall  not  die,  neither  shall  their 
fire  be  quenched;  and  they 
shall  be  an  abhorring  unto  all 
flesh.

CHAPTER  1 

The  catting  of  Jeremiah:  11  his 
vision*  denoting  God's  speedy 
•  judgments.  17  God  promises  him 
his  assistance. 

rnHE  words  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  the 
X  son  of  HIMci'ah,  of  the 
priests  that  were  in  An'a-thtith 
in  the  land  of  B£n'ja-min : 

2  To  whom  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  in  the  days  of  J5» 
si'ah  the  son  of  A'mon  king  of 
Ju'dah,  in  the  thirteenth  year 
of  his  reign. 

3  It  came  also  in  the  days  df 
Je»hoi'a-kIm  the  son  of  J6-si'ah 
king  of  Ju'dah,  unto  the  end  of 
the  eleventh  year  of  ZSd-e-ki'ah 
the  son  of  Jd-si'ah  king  of  Ju'- 
dah, unto  the  carrying  away  of 
J£-Tu'sa-lem  captive  in  the  fifth 
month. 

4  VThen  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

5  Before  I  formed  thee  in  the 
belly  I  knew  thee ;  and  before 
thou  earnest  forth  out  of  the 
womb  I  sanctified  thee,  and  I 
ordained  thee  a  prophet  unto 
the  nations. 

6  Then  said  I,  Ah,  Lord  God! 


behold,  I  cannot  speak:  for  I 
am  a  child. 

7  But  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
Say  not,  I  am  a  child :  for  thou 
shalt  go  to  all  that  I  shall  send 
thee,  and  whatsoever  I  com- 
mand thee  thou  shalt  speak. 

8  Be  not  afraid  of  their  faces 
for  I  am  with  thee  to  deliver 
thee,  saith  the  Lord, 

9  Then  the  Lord  put  forth 
his  hand,  and  touched  my 
mouth.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  me,  Behold,  I  have  put 
my  words  in  thy  mouth. 

10  See,  I  have  this  day  set 
thee  over  the  nations  and:  over 
the  kingdoms,  to  root  out,  and 
to  pull  down,  and  to  destroy, 
and  to  throw  down,  to  build, 
and  to  plant. 

11  ^Moreover  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 
Jer-e-mi'ah,  what  seest  thou? 
And  I  said,  I  see  a  rod  of  an 
almond  tree. 

12  Then  said  the  Lord  unto 
me,  Thou  hast  well  seen :  for  I 
will  hasten  my  word  to  per- 
form it.

15  For,  lo,  I  will  call  all  the 
families  of  the  kingdoms  of  the 
north,  saith  the  Lord  ;  and  they 
shall  come,  and  they  shall  set 
every  one  his  throne  at  the  en- 
tering of  the  gates  of  Je>*u/sa- 
13m,  and  against  all  the  walls 
thereof  round  about,  and  against 
all  the  cities  of  Ju'dah. 

16  And  I  will  utter  my  judg- 
ments against  them  touching 
all  their  wickedness,  who  have 
forsaken  me,  and  haye  burned 
incense  unto  other  gods,  and 
worshipped  the  works  of  their 
own  hands. 

17  HThou  therefore  gird  up 
thy  loins,  and  arise,  and  speak 
unto  them  all  that  I  command 
thee:  be  not  dismayed  at  their 
faces,  lest  I  confound  thee  be- 
fore them. 

18  For,  behold,  I  have  made 
thee  this  day  a  defenced  city, 
and  an  iron  pillar,  and  brasen 
walls  against  the  whole  land, 
against  the  kings  of  Ju'dah, 
against  the  princes  thereof, 
against  the  priests  thereof,  and 
against  the  people  of  the  land. 

19  And  they  shall  fight  against 
thee ;  but  they  shall  not  prevail 
against  thee;  for  I  am  with 
thee,  saith  the  Lord,  to  deliver 
thee. 

CHAPTER  2 

GoiTe  expoetukUion  with  the  Jews. 
35  The  vain  confidence*  ©/  Judah 
rejected. 

MOREOVER  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  to  me,  saying, 

2  Go  and  cry  in  the  ears  of 
J&ru'sa-lein,  <saying,  Thus  .saith 
the  Lord  ;.  I  remember  thee,  the 
kindness  of  thy  youth,  the  love 
of  thine  espousals,  when  thou 
wen  test  after  me  in  the  wilder- 
ness, in  a  land  that  woe  not 
sown, 

3  Is/ra^el  was  holiness  unto 
the  Lord,  and  the  firstfruits  of 
his  increase:  all  that  devour 
him  shall  offend;  evil  shall 
come  upon  them,  saith  the 
Lord. 

4  11  Hear  ye  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  O  house  of  Ja'cob,  and 
all  the  families  of  the  house  of 
Ig'ra-el : 

5  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  What 
iniquity  have  your  fathers 
found  in  me,  that  they  are 


gone  far  from  me,  and  have 
walked  after  vanity,  and  are 
become  vain? 

6  Neither  said  they,  Where  ia 
the  Lord  that  brought  us  up 
out  of  the  land  of  £'tf  pt,  that 
led  us  through  the  wilderness, 
through  a  land  of  deserts  and  of 
pits,  through  a  land  of  drought, 
and  of  the  shadow  of  death, 
through  a  land  that  no  man 
passed  through,  and  where  no 
man  dwelt? 

7  And  I  brought  you  into  a 
plentiful  country,  to  eat  the 
fruit  thereof  and  the  goodness 
thereof;  but  when  ye  entered, 
ye  defiled  my  land,  and  made 
mine  heritage  an  abomination. 

8  The  priests  said  not,  Where 
is  the  Lord?  and  they  that 
handle  the  law  knew  me  not: 
the  pastors  also  transgressed 
against  me,  and  the  orophets 
prophesied  by  Ba'al,  ana  walked 
after  things  that  do  not  profit 

9  Wherefore  I  will  yet  plead 
with  you,  saith  the  Lord,  and 
with  your  children's  children 
will  I  plead. 

10  For  pass  over  the  isles  of 
Chit'tim,and  see;  and  send  un- 
to Ke'dar,  and  consider  dili- 
gently, and  see  if  there  be  such 
a  thing. 

11  Hath  a  nation  changed 
their  gods,  which  are  yet  no 
gods?  but  my  people  have 
changed  their  glory  for  that 
which  doth  not  profit 

12  Be  astonished,  0  ye  heav- 
ens, at  this,  and  be  horribly 
afraid,,  be  ye  very  desolate, 
saith  the  Lord. 

13  For  my  people  have  com- 
mitted two  evils ;  thev  have  for- 
saken me  the  fountain  of  living 
waters,  and  hewed  them  out 
cisterns,  broken  cisterns,  that 
can  hold  no  water. 

14  %Is  ls'ra-el  a  servant?  is 
he  a  homebora  slave?  why  is 
he  spoiled? 

15  The  young  lions  roared  up- 
on him,  and  yelled,  and  they 
made  his  land  waste :  his  cities 
are  burned  without  inhabitant 

16  Also  the  children  of  Noph 
and  Ta-hap'a-nes  have  broken 
the  crown  of  thy  head. 

17  Hast  thou  not  procured  this 
unto  thyself,  in  that  thou  hast 
forsaken  the  Lord  thy  God, 
when  he  led  thee  by  the 
way? 

18  And  now  what  hast  thou 
to  do  in  the  way  of  B'jtfpt,  to 
drink  the  waters  of  Silior?  or 
what  hast  thou  to  do  in  the  way 
of  As-sjrrl-a,  to  drink  the  waters 
of  the  river?

19  Thine  own  wickedness  shall 
correct  thee,  and  thy  backslid- 
ings  shall  reprove  thee:  know 
therefore  ana  see  that  it  is  an 
evil  thing  and  bitter,  that  thou 
hast  forsaken  the  Lord  thy 
God,  and  that  my  fear  is  not  in 
thee;  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
hosts. 

20  For  of  old  time  I  have  bro- 
ken thy  yoke,  and  burst  thy 
bands;  and  thou  saidst,  I  will 
not  transgress;  when  upon 
every  high  hill  and  under  every 
green  tree  thou  wanderest,  play- 
ing the  harlot 

21  Yet  I  had  planted  thee  a 
noble  vine,  wholly  a  right  seed : 
how  then  art  thou  turned  into 
the  degenerate  plant  of  a 
strange  vine  unto  me? 

22  For  though  thou  wash  thee 
with  nitre,  and  take  thee  much 
sope,  yet  thine  iniquity  is 
marked  before  me,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

23  How  canst  thou  say,  I  am 
not  polluted,  I  have  not  gone 
after  Ba'al-im?  see  thy  way  in 
the  valley,  know  what  thou  hast 
done:  thou  art  a  swift  drome- 
dary traversing  her  ways; 

24  A  wild  ass  used  to  the 
wilderness,  that  snuffeth  up 
the  wind  at  her  pleasure;  in 
her  occasion  who  can  turn  her 
away?  all  they  that  seek  her 
will  not  weary  themselves;  in 
her  month  they  shall  find  her. 

25  Withhold  thy  foot  from  be- 
ing unshod,  and  thy  throat  from 
thirst:  but  thou  saidst,  There 
is  no  hope:  no;  for  I  have 
loved  strangers,  and  after  them 
will  I  go. 

26  As  the  thief  is  ashamed 
when  he  is  found,  so  is  the 
house  of  Is/ra-el  ashamed;  they, 
their  kings,  their  princes,  and 
theirpriests,  and  their  prophets, 

27  Saying  to  a  stock,  Thou  art 
my  father ;  and  to  a  stone,  Thou 
hast  brought  me  forth :  for  they 
have  turned  their  back  unto 
me,  and  not  their  face :  but  in 
the  time  of  their  trouble  they 
will  say,  Arise,  and  save  us. 

28  But  where  are  thy  gods 
that  thou  hast  made  thee?  let 
them  arise,  if  they  can  save 
thee  in  the  time  of  thy  trouble  : 
for  according  to  the  number 
of  thy  cities  are  thy  gods,  0 
Ju'dah. 

29  Wherefore  will  ye  plead 
with  me?  ye  all  have,  trans- 
gressed against  me,  saith  the 
Lord. 

30  In  vain  have  I  smitten 
your  children;  they  received 
no  correction:  your  own  sword 


hath  devoured  your  prophets, 
like  a  destroying  lion. 

31  1TO  generation,  see  ye  the 
word  of  the  Lord.  Have  I  been 
a  wilderness  unto  Is'ra-el?  a 
land  of  darkness?  wherefore 
say  my  people,  We  are  lords; 
we  will  come  no  more  unto 
thee? 

32  Can  a  maid  forget  her 
ornaments,  or  a  bride  her  attire? 
yet  my  people  have  forgotten 
me  days  without  number. 

33  Why  trimmest  thou  thy 
way  to  seek  love  ?  therefore  hast 
thou  also  taught  the  wicked 
ones  thy  ways. 

34  Also  in  thy  skirts  is  found 
the  blood  of  the  souls  of  the 
poor  innocents:  I  have  not 
found  it  by  secret  search,  but 
upon  all  these. 

35  Yet  thou  sayest,  Because  I 
am  innocent,  surely  his  anger 
shall  turn  from  me.  Behold,  I 
will  plead  with  thee,  because 
thou  sayest,  I  have  not  sinned. 

36  Why  gaddest  thou  about  so 
much  to  change  thy  way?  thou 
also  Shalt  be  ashamed  of  fi'tfpt, 
as  thou  wast  ashamed  of  As- 
syria. 

37  Yea,  thou  shalt  go  forth 
from  him,  and  thine  hands  up- 
on thine  head:  for  the  Lord 
hath  rejected  thy  confidences, 
and  thou  shalt  not  prosper  in 
them.

JL  his  wife,  and  she  go  from 
him,  and  become  another  man's, 
shall  he  return  unto  her  again  ? 
shall  not  that  land  be  greatly

yet  return  again  to  me,  saith 
the  Lord. 

2  Lift  up  thine  eyes  unto  the 
high  places,  and  see  where 
thou  hast  not  been  lien  with. 
In  the  ways  hast  thou  sat  for 
them,  as  the  A-raltf-an  in  the 
wilderness ;  and  thou  hast  pol-

doms and  with  thy  wickedness.

been  withholden,  and  there 
hath  been  no  latter  rain ;  and

time  Cry  unto  me,  My  father, 
thou  art  the  guide  of  my

6  ITThe  Lord  said  also  unto 
me  in  the  days. of  Jft-sfah  the 
king,  Hast  then  seen  that 
which  backsliding  Is/nnel  hath 
done?  she  is  gone  up  upon 
every  high  mountain  and  od- 
der every  green  tree,  and  there 
hath  played  the  harlot 

7  And  I  said  after  she  had 
done  all  these  things,  Torn 
thou  unto  me.  But  she  re- 
tained not  And  her  treacher- 
ous sister  Ju'dah  saw  it 

8  And  I  saw,  when  for  all 
the  causes  whereby  backslid- 
ing  Is/ra-el  committed  adultery 
I  had  put  her  away,  and  given 
her  a  bill  of  divorce;  yet  her 
treacherous  sister  Ju'dah  feared 
not,  but  went  and  played  the 
harlot  also. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass 
through  the  lightness  of  her 
whoredom,  that  she  defiled  the 
land,  arid  committed  adultery 
with  stones  and  with  stocks. 

10  And  yet  for  all  this  her 
treacherous  sister  Ju'dah  hath 
not  turned  unto  me  with  her 
whole  heart;  but  feignedry,  saith 
the  Lord. 

11  If  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
me,  The  backsliding  Is/ra-el 
hath  justified  herself  more 
than  treacherous  Ju'dah. 

12  Go  and  proclaim  these 
words  toward  the  north,  and 
say,  Return,  thou  backsliding 
Is/ta-el,  saith  the  LORD;  andl 
will  not  cause'  mine  anger  to 
fall  upon  you :  for  I  am  merci- 
ful, saith  the  Lord,  and  I  will 
not  keep  anger  for  ever. 

13  Only  acknowledge  thine 
iniquity,  that  thou  hast  trans* 

essed  against  the  Lord  thy 
d,  and  bast  scattered  thy 
ways  to  the  strangers  under 
every  green  tree,  and  ye  have 
not  obeyed  my  voice,  saith  the 
Lord. 

14  Turn,  0  backsliding  chil- 
dren, saith  the  Lord;  for  I  am 
married  unto  you:  and  I  will 
take  you  one  or  a  city,  and  two 
of  a  family,  and  I  will  bring 
youtoZTon: 

15  And  I  will  give  you  pas- 
tors according  to  mine  heart, 
which  shall  feed  you  with 
knowledge  and  understanding. 

16  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  ye  be  multiplied  and  in- 
creased in  the  land,  in  those 
days,  saith  the  Lord,  they  shall 
say  no  more,  The  ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord  :  neither 
shall  it  come  to  mind :  neither 
shall  they  remember  it;  n 


ther  shall  they  visit  it ;  neither 
shall  that  be  done  any  more.  : 

17  At  that  time  they  shall 
call  Je-ru'sa-lgm  the  throne  of 
the  Lord;  and  all  the  nations 
shall  be  gathered  unto  it,  to  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  to  JS-ru'sfi- 
lem :  neither  shall  they  walk 
any  more  after  the  imagination 
of  their  evil  heart 

18  In  those  days  the  house  of 
Ju'dah  shall  walk  with  the 
house  of  ls/rsvel,  and  they  shall 
come  together  out  of  the  land 
of  the  north  to  the  land  that  I 
have  given  for  an  inheritance 
unto  your  fathers. 

19  Bat  I  said,  How  shall  I 
put  thee  among  the  children, 
and  give  thee  a  pleasant  land,  a 
goodly  heritage  of  the  hosts  of 
nations?  and  I  said,  Thou  shalt 
call  me,  My  father;  and  Shalt 
not  turn  away  from  me. 

20  Surely  as  a  wife  treach- 
erously departeth  from  her  hus- 
band, so  have  ye  dealt  treach 
erously  with  me,  0  house  of 
Is/ra-el,  saith  the  Lord. 

21  IT  A  voice  was  heard  upon 
the  high  places,  weeping  and 
supplications  of  the  children  of 
Is/ra-el :  for  they  have  pervert- 
ed their  way,  and  they  have 
forgotten  the  Lord  then-  God. 

22  Return,  ye  backsliding  chil- 
dren, and  I  will  heal  your 
backsliding*.  Behold,  we  come 
unto  thee;  for  thou  art  the 
Lord  our  God. 

23  Truly  in  vain  is  salvation 
hoped  fir  from  •  the  hills,  and 
from  the  multitude  of  moun* 
tains:  truly  in  the  Lord  our 
God  is  the  salvation  of  Is/ra-el. 

24  For  shame  hath  devoured 
the  labour  of  our  fathers  from 
our  youth ;  their  flocks  and  their 
herds,  their  sons  and  then- 
daughters. 

25  We  lie  down  in  our  shame, 
and  our  confusion  covereth  us: 
for  we  have  sinned  against  the 
Lord  our  God,  we  and  our  fa- 
thers, from  our  youth  even  unto 
this  day,  and  have  not  obeyed 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  our  God 

CHAPTER  4 

God  calls  Israel  by  his  promises :  3  he 
exhorts  Judah  to  repentance.  19 
Lamentations  for  Judah, 

IF  thou  wilt  return,  O  Is/ra-el, 
saith  the  Lord,  return  unto 
me:  and  if  thou  wilt  put  away 
thine  abominations  out  of  my 
sight,  then  shalt  thou  not  re- 
move. 

2  And  thou  shalt  swear,  The 
Lord  liveth,  in  truth,  in  judg- 
ment, and  in  righteousness;  and 
the  nations  shall  bless  them-

selves  in  him,  and  in  him  shall 
they  glory. 

3  IFFor  thus  saith  the  Lord 
to  the  men  of  Ju'dah  and  Je> 
ru's&4em,  Break  up  your  fallow 
ground,  and  sow  not  among 
thorns. 

4  Circumcise  yourselves  to 
the  Lord,  and  take  away  the 
foreskins  of  your  heart,  ye  men 
of  Ju'dah  and  inhabitants  of 
JcVru'sfr4em :  lest  my  fury  come 
forth  like  fire,  and  burn  that 
none  can  quench  it,  because  of 
the  evil  of  your  doings. 

5  Declare  ye  in  Ju'dah,  and 
publish  in  J&ru's&-lem;  and 
say,  Blow  ye  the  trumpet  in 
the  land:  cry,  gather  together, 
and  say,  Assemble  yourselves, 
and  let  us  go  into  the  def  enced 
cities. 

6  Set  up  the  standard  toward 
Zi'tin:  retire,  stay  not:  for  I 
will  bring  evil  from  the  north, 
and  a  great  destruction. 

7  The  lion  is  come  up  from 
his  thicket,  and  the  destroyer 
of  the  Cen'tfles  is  on  his  way ; 
he  is  gone  forth  from  his  place 
to  make  thy  land  desolate;  and 
thy  cities  shall  be  laid  waste, 
without  an  inhabitant 

8  For  this  gird  you  with  sack- 
cloth, lament  and  howl :  for  the 
fierce  anger  of  the  Lord  is  not 
turned  back  from  us. 

9  And  it  shall  come  to  pass 
at  that  day,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  the  heart  of  the  king  shall 
perish,  and  the  heart  of  the 
princes;  and  the  priests  shall 
be  astonished,  and  the  prophets 
shall  wonder. 

10  Then  said  I,  Ah,  Lord 
God!  surely  thou  hast  greatly 
deceived  this  people  and  Jfc-ru'- 
aaVlem,  saying,  Ye  shall  have 
peace;  whereas  the  sword  reach- 
eth  unto  the  souL 

11  At  that  time  shall  it  be 
said  to  this  people  and  to  J£-ru'~ 
saVlem,  A  dry  wind  of  the  high 
places  in  the  wilderness  toward 
the  daughter  of  my  people,  not 
to  fan,  nor  to  cleanse, 

12  Even  a  full  wind  from 
those  places  shall  come  unto 
me:  now  also  will  I  give  sen- 
tence against  them. 

13  Behold,  he  shall  come  up 
as  clouds,  and  his  chariots  shau 
be  as  a  whirlwind:  his  horses 
are  swifter  than  eagles.  Woe 
unto  us!  for  we  are  spoiled. 

14  O  J&ru'sa-lem,  wash  thine 
heart  from  wickedness,  that 
thou  mayest  be  saved  How 
long  shau  thy  vain  thought* 
lodge  within  thee? 

15  For  a  voice  declareth  from 


Dan,  and  publisheth  affliction 
from  mount  E'phrS-Im. 

16  Make  ye  mention  to  the 
nations;  behold,  publish  against 
J&ru'sa4em,  that  watchers  come 
from  a  far  country;  and  give  out 
their  voice  against  the  cities  of 
Ju'dah. 

17  As-  keepers  of  a  field,  are 
they  against  her  round  about; 
because  she  hath  been  rebel- 
lious against  me,  saith  the 
Lord. 

18  Thy  way  and  thy  doings 
have  procured  these  things  un- 
to thee ;  this  is  thy  wickedness, 
because  it  is  bitter,  because  it 
reacheth  unto  thine  heart 

19  TOfy  bowels,  my  bowels!  I 
am  pained  at  my  very  heart; 
my  heart  maketh  a  noise  in  me ; 
I  cannot  hold  my  peace,  because 
thou  hast  heard,  0  my  soul,  the 
sound  of  the  trumpet,  the  alarm 
of  war. 

20  Destruction* upon  destruc- 
tion is  cried;  for  the  whole  land 
is  spoiled:  suddenly  are  my 
tents  spoiled,  arid  my  curtains 
in  a  moment 

21  How  long  shall  I  see  the 
standard,  and  hear  the  sound  of 
the  trumpet? 

22  For  my  people  is  fool 
ish,  they  have  not  known 
me;  they  are  sottish  children, 
and  they  have  none  understand- 
ing: they  are  wise  to  do  evil, 
but  to  do  good  they  have  no 
knowledge. 

.  23  I  beheld  the:  earth,  and,  la, 
it  was  without  form,  and  void ; 
and  the  heavens,  and  they  had 
no  light 

24  I  beheld  the  mountains, 
and,  lo,  they  trembled,  and  all 
the  hills  moved  lightly. 

25  I  beheld,  and, lo,  there  was 
no  man,  and  all  the  birds  of  the 
heavens  were  fled. 

26  I  beheld,  and,  lo,  the  fruifc. 
ful  place  was  a  wilderness,  and 
all  the  cities  thereof  were 
broken  down  at  the  presence 
of  the  Lord,  and  by  his  fierce 
anger. 

27  For  thus  hath  the  Lord 
said,  The  whole  land  shall  be 
desolate ;  yet  will  I  not  make  a 
full  end. 

28  For  this  shall  the  earth 
mourn,  and  the  heavens  above 
be  black:  because  I  have  spoken 
it,  I  have  purposed  it,  and  will 
not  repent,  neither  will  I  turn 
back  from  it 

29  The  whole  city  shall  flee 
for  the  noise  of  the  horsemen 
and  bowmen;  they  shall  go  into 
thickets,  and  climb  up  upon  the 
rocks:  every  city,  shall  be  for-

30  And  token  thou  art  spoiled, 
what  wilt  thou  do?  Though 
thou  clothest  thyself  with  crim- 
son, though  thou  deckest  thee 
with  ornaments  of  gold,  though 
thou  rentest  thy  face  with 
painting,  in  vain  shalt.  thou 
make  myself  fair ;  thy  lovers 
will  despise  thee,  they  will  seek 
thy  life, 

31  For  I  hare  heard  a  Voice 
as  of  a  woman  in  travail,  and 
the  anguish  as  of  her  that  bring- 
eth  forth  her  first  child,  the 
voice  of  the  daughter  of  Zi'on, 
that  bewaileth  herself,  that 
spreadeth  her  hands,  saying, 
Woe  is  me  now !  for  my  soul  is 
wearied  because  of  murderers. 

CHAPTER  5 

Judgments  qf  God  upon  the  Jews/or 
their  depravity,  7  adultery,  20  and 
injustice. 

RUN  ye.  to  and  fro  through 
the  streets  of  J&ru>a-fem, 
and  see  now,  and:  know,  and 
seek  in  the  broad  places  there- 
of, if  ye  can  find  a  man,  if  there 
be  any  that  executeth  judg- 
ment, that  seeketh  the  truth; 
and  I  will  pardon  it 

2  And  though  they  say,  The 
Lord  liveth ;  surely  they  swear 
falsely. 

3  O  Lord,  are  not  thine  eyes 
upon  the  truth?  thou  hast 
stricken  them,  but  they  have 
not  grieved;,  thou  hast  con* 
turned  them,  but  they  have  re- 
fused to  receive  correction: 
they  ■  have  made  their  faces 
harder  than  a  rock ;  they  have 
refused  to  return. 

4  Therefore  I  said,  Surely 
these  are  poor;  they  are  fool- 
ish :  for  they  know  not  the  way 
of  the  Lord,  nor  the  judgment 
of  their  God. 

5  I  will  get  me  unto  the  great 
men,  and  will  speak  unto  them ; 
for  they  have  known  the  way 
of  the  Lord,  and  the  judgment 
of  their  God :  but  these  have 
altogether  broken  the  yoke,  and 
burst  the  bonds. 

6  Wherefore  a  lion  out  of  the 
forest  shall  slay  them,  and  a 
wolf  of  the  evenings  shall 
spoil  them,  a  leopard  shall  watch 
over  their  cities:  every  one 
that  goeth  out  thence  shall  be 
torn  in  pieces:  because  their 
transgressions  are  many,  and 
their  backslidings  are  increased. 

7  How  shall  I  pardon  thee  for 
this?  thy  children  have*  for- 
saken me,  'and  sworn  hy  them 
that  are  no  gods:  when  I  had 
fed  them  to  the  full,  they  then 


committed  adultery,  and  assem- 
bled themselves  by  troops  in 
the  harlots'  houses. 

8  They  were  as  fed  horses 
in  the  morning:  every  one 
neighed  after  his  neighbour's 
wife. 

9  Shall  I  not  visit  for  these 
things?  saith  the  Lord:  and 
shall  not  my  soul  be  avenged 
on  such  a  nation  as  this? 

10  IFGo  ye  up  upon  her  walls, 
and  destroy;  but  make  not  a 
full  end :  take  away  her  battle- 
ments; for  they  are  not  the 
Lord's. 

11  For  the  house  of  Js/ra-el 
and  the  house  of  JQ'dah  have 
dealt  very  treacherously  against 
me,  saith  the  Lord. 

12  They  have  belied  the  Lord, 
and  said,  It  is  not  he;  neither 
shall  evil  come  upon  us;  nei- 
ther shall  we  see  sword  nor 
famine: 

13  And  the  prophets  shall  be- 
come wind,  and  the  word  is  not 
in  them :  thus  shall  it  be  done 
unto  them. 

14  Wherefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  hosts,  Because  ye 
speak  this  word,  behold,  i  will 
make  my  words  in  thy  mouth 
fire,  and  this  people  wood,  and 
it  shall  devour  them. 

15  Lo,  I  will  bring  a  nation 
upon  you  from  far,  0  house  of 
ls/ra-el,  saith  the  Lord  :  it  is  a 
mighty  nation,  it  is  an  ancient 
nation,  a  nation  whose  language 
thou  knowest  not,  neither  un- 
derstandest  what  they  say. 

16  Their  quiver  is  as  an  open 
sepulchre,  they  are  all  mighty 
men. 

17  And  they  shall  eat  up  thine 
harvest,  and  thy  bread,  which 
thy  sons  and  thy  daughters 
should  eat:  they  shall  eat  up 
thy  flocks  and  thine  herds 
they  shall  eat  up  thy  vines  and 
thy  fig  trees:  they  shall  impov- 
erish thy  fenced  cities,  wherein 
thou  trustedst,  with  the  sword. 

18  Nevertheless  in  those  days, 
saith  the  Lord,  I  will  not  make 
a  full  end  with  you. 

19  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  ye  shall  say,  Wherefore 
doeth  the  Lord  our  God  all 
these  things  unto  us?  then 
shalt  thou  answer  them,  Like 
as  ye  have  forsaken  me,  and 
served  strange  gods  in  your 
land,  so  shall  ye  serve  strangers 
in  a  land  that  is  not  your's. 
.20  UDeclare  this  in  the  house 
of  Jr  cob,  and  publish  it  in  JQ'-

ing ;  which  have  eyes,  and  see 
not;  which  have  ears, and  hear 
not: 

22  Fear  ye  not  me?  saith  the 
Lord:  will  ye  not  tremble  at 
my  presence,  which  have  placed 
the  sand  for  the  bound  of  the 
sea  by  a  perpetual  decree,  that 
it  cannot  pass  it:  and  though 
the  waves  thereof  toss  them- 
selves, yet  can  they  not.  pre- 
vail ;  though  they  roar,  yet  can 
they  not  pass  over  it? 

23  But  this  people  hath  a  re- 
volting and  a  rebellious  heart; 
they  are  revolted  and  gone. 
'  24.  Neither  say  they  in  their 
heart,  Let  us  now  fear  the  Lord 
our  God,  that  giveth  rain,  both 
the  former  and  the  latter,  in 
his  season :  he  reserveth  unto 
us  the  appointed  weeks  of  the 
harvest 

25  %  Your  iniquities  have 
turned  away  these  things,  and 
your  sins  have  witbholden  good 
things  from  you. 

26  For  among  my  people  are 
found  wicked  men:  they  lay 
wait,  as  he  that  setteth  snares ; 
they  set  a  trap,  they  catch  men. 

2?  As  a  cage  is  full  of  birds, 
so  are  their  houses,  full  of  de- 
ceit: therefore  they  are  become 
great,  and  waxen  rich; 

28  They  are  waxen  fat,  they 
shine:  yea,  they  overpass  the 
deeds  of  the  wicked :  they  judge 
not  the  cause,  the  cause  of  the 
fatherless,  vet  they  prosper; 
and  the  right  of  the  needy  do 
they  not  judge; 

29  Shall  I  not  visit  for  these 
things?  saith  the  Lord:  shall 
not  my  soul  be  avenged  on  such 
a  nation  as  this? 

30  t A  wonderful  and  horrible 
thing  is  committed  in  the  land ; 

31  The  prophets  prophesy 
falsely,  and  the  priests  bear 
rule  by  their  means;  and  my 
people  love  to  have  it  bo 
what  will  ye  do  in  the  end 
thereof?  • 

CHAPTER  6 
The  enemies  '«**£  against  Judah  en- 
courage themselves;  6  God  directs 
the  siege.  18  The  prophet  pro- 
daim*  God*  e  judgments.  26  A  call 
to  repentance. 

YE  children  of  Ben'ja-minv 
gather  yourselves  to  flee 
out  of  the  midst  of  j&tu's&lem, 
and  blow  the  trumpet  in  T&- 
k6'a,  and  set  up  a  sign  of  fire 
in  i&th-haVee-rem :  for  evil 
appeareth  out r  of  the  north,  and 
great  destruction. 
2  I  have  likened  the  daughter 


o 


cate  woman. 
3  The  shepherds 


with 


flocks  shall  come  unto  her; 
they  shall  pitch  their  tents 
against  her  round  about;  they 
shall  feed  every:  one  in  his 
place. 

4  Prepare  ye  war  against  her; 
arise,  and  let  us  go  up  at  noon. 
Woe  unto  us!  for  the  day  goeth 
away,  for  the  shadows  of  the 
evening  are  stretched  out 

5  Arise,  and  let  us  go  by  night, 
and  let  us  destroy  her  palaces. 

6  Wot  thus  hath  the  Lord  of 
hosts  said,  Hew  ye  down  trees, 
and  cast  a  mount  against  JS- 
ru'sS-lem :  this  is  the  city  to  be 
visited ;  she  is  wholly  oppres- 
sion in  the  midst  of  her. 

7  As  a .  fountain  casteta  out 
her  waters,  so  she  casteth  out 
her  wickedness:  violence  and 
spoil  is  heard,  in  her;  before 
me  continually  is  grief  and 
wounds. 

8  Be  thou  instructed,  O  Jfr-ru'- 
saVlenvlest  my  soul  depart  from 
thee ;  lest  I  make  thee  desolate, 
a  land  not  inhabited. ♦    • 

9  II  Thus  saith  the  LORD  of 
hosts,  They  shall  throughly 
glean  the  remnant  of  Is/ra-el  as 
a  vine:,  turn  back  thine  hand 
as  a  grapegatherer  into  the  bas- 
kets. 

10  To  whom  shall  I  speak,  and 
give  warning,  that  they  may 
hear?'  behold,  their  ear  is  un< 
circumcised,  and  they  cannot 
hearken:  behold*  the  word  of 
the  Lord  is  unto  them  a  re- 
proach; they  have  no  delight 
in  it. 

11. Therefore  lam  full  of  the 
fury  of  the  Lord;  I  am  weary 
with  holding  in :  I  will  pour  it 
out  upon  the  children  abroad, 
and  upon  the  assembly  of  young 
men  together:  for  even  the  hus- 
band with  the  wife  shall  be  ta- 
ken, the  aged  with  him  that  is 
full  of  days. 

12  And  their  houses  shall  be 
turned  unto  others,  tsith  their 
fields  and  wives  together :  for  I 
will  stretch  out  my  hand  upon 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land, 
saith  the  Lord. 

13  For  from  the  least  of  them 
even  unto  the  greatest  of  them 
every  one  is  given*  to  covet- 
ousness;  and  from  the  prophet 
even  unto  the  priest  every  one 
dealeth  falsely!. 

14  They  have  healed  also  the 
hurt  of  the  daughter  of  my 
people  -  slightly,  saying,  Peace, 
peace ;  when  there  is  no  peace. 

15  Were  they  ashamed  when

blush :  therefore  they  shall  fall 
among  them  that  fall:  at  the 
time  that  I  visit  them  they  shall 
be  cast  down,  saith  the  Ix>RD. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Stand 
ye  In  the  ways,  and  see,  and 
ask  for  the  old  paths,  where  is 
the  good  way,  aid  walk  there- 
in, and  ye  shall  find  rest  for 
your  souls.  But  they  said,  We 
will  not  walk  therein. 

17  Also  I  set  watchmen  over 
you,  saying,  Hearken  to  the 
sound  of  the  trumpet  But  they 
said,  We  will  not  hearken. - 

18  II  Therefore  hear,  ye  na- 
tions, and  know,  0  congrega- 
tion, what  is  among  them. 

19  Hear,  0  earth:  behold,  I 
will  bring  evil  upon  this  peo- 
ple, even  the  fruit  of  their 
thoughts,  because  they  have 
not  hearkened  unto  my  words, 
nor  to  my  law,  but  rejected  it 

20  To  what  purpose  cometh 
there  to  me  incense  from  ShS'- 
ba,  and  the  sweet  cane  from  a 
far  country?  your  burnt  offer- 
ings are  not  acceptable,  nor 
your  sacrifices  sweet  unto  me. 

21  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Behold,  I  will  lay  stum- 
blingblocks  before  this  people, 
and  the  fathers  and  the  sons 
together  shall  fall  upon  them ; 
the  neighbour  and  his  friend 
shall  perish. 

22  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Be- 
hold, a  people  cometh  from  the 
north  country,  and  a  great  na- 
tion shall  be  raised  from  the 
sides  of  the  earth. 

23  They  shall  lay  hold  on  bow 
and  spear;  they  are  cruel,  and 
have  no  mercy;  their  voice 
roareth  like  the  sea ;  and  they 
ride  upon  horses,  set  in  array 
as  men  for  war  against  thee,  0 
daughter  of  Zi'tin. 

24  We  have  heard  the  fame 
thereof ;  our  hands  wax  feeble : 
anguish  hath  taken  hold  of  us, 
ana  pain,  as  of  a  woman  in 
travail. 

25  Go  not  forth  into  the  field, 
nor  walk  by  the  way;  for  the 
sword  of  the  enemy  and  fear 
is  on  every  side. 

26  HO  daughter  of  my  people, 
gird  thee  with  sackcloth,  and 
wallow  thyself  in  ashes:  make 
thee  mourning,  as  for  an  only 
son,  most  bitter  lamentation: 
for  the  spoiler  shall  suddenly 
come  upon  us. 

27  I  have  set  thee  for  a  tower 
and  a  fortress  among  my  peo- 
ple, that  thou  tnayest  know  and 
try  their  way. 

28  They  are  all. grievous  re- 
volters,  walking;  with  slanders 


they  are  brass  and  iron ;  they 
are  all  corrupters. 

29  The  bellows  are  burned,  the 
lead  is  consumed  of  the  fire ;  the 
founder  melteth  in  vain :  for  the 
wicked  are  not  plucked  away. 

30  Reprobate  silver  shall  men 
call  them,  because  the  Lord 
hath  rejected  them. 

CHAPTER  7 

Jeremiah  sent  to  call  for  true  repent^ 
ance :  8  God  reject*  their  vain  con- 
fidence, 

THE  word  that  came  to  Jer-e- 
mi'ah  from  the  Lord,  say- 
ing. 

2  Stand  in  the  gate  of  the 
Lord's  house,  and  proclaim 
there  this  word,  and  say,  Hear 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  all  ye  of 
Ju'dah,  that  enter  in  at  these 
gates  to  worship  the  Lord.  . 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  ls'ra-el,  Amend 
your  ways  and  your  doings,  and 
I  will  cause  you  to  dwell  in  this 
place. 

4  Trust  ye  not  in  lying  words, 
saying,  The  temple  of  the  Lord, 
The  temple  of  the  Lord,  The 
temple  of  the  Lord,  are  these. 

5  For  if  ye  throughly  amend 
your  ways  and  your  doings;  if 
ye  throughly  execute  judgment 
between  a  man  and  his  neigh* 
bour; 

6  #  ye  oppress  not  the  stran? 
ger,  the  fatherless,  and  the 
widow,  and  shed  not  innocent 
Mood  in  this  place,  neither  walk 
after  other  gods  to  your  hurt : 

7  Then  will  I  cause  you  to 
dwell  in  this  place,  in  the  land 
that  I  gave  to  your  fathers,  for 
ever  and  ever. 

8  TOehold,  ye  trust  in  lying 
words,  that  cannot  profit 

9  Will  ye  steal,  murder,  and 
commit  adultery,  and  swear 
falsely,  and  burn  incense  unto 
Ba'al,  and  walk  after  other  gods 
whom  ye  know  not;    : 

10  And  come  and  stand  before 
me  in  this  house,  which  is 
called  by  my  name,  and  say, 
We  are  delivered  to  do  all  these 
abominations? 

11  Is  this  house,  which  is 
called  by  my  name,  become  a 
den  of  robbers  in  your  eyes? 
Behold,  even  I  have  seen  it, 
saith  the  Lord.  . 

12  But  go  ye  now  unto  my 
place  which  was  in  ShHoh, 
where  I  set  my  name  at  the 
first,  and  see  what  I  did  to  it 
for  the  wickedness  of  my  peo- 
ple Is'ra-eL 

13  And  now,  because  ye  have 
done  all  these  works,  saith  the 
Lord,  and  I  spake  unto  you,

cry  nor  prayer  for  them,  nei- 
ther make  intercession  to  me 
for  I  will  not  hear  thee.] 

17  H  Seest  thou  not  what  they 
do  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  and 
in  the  streets  of  J&ru'sS-le'm  ? 

18  The  children  gather  wood, 
and  the  fathers  kindle  the  fire, 
and  the  women  knead  their 
dough,  to  make  cakes  to  the 
queen  of  heaven,  and  to  pour 
out  drink  offerings  unto  other 
gods,  that  they  may  provoke  me 
to  anger.  ( 

19  Do  they  provoke  me  to 
anger?  saith  the  Lord  :  do  they 
not  provoke  themselves  to  the 
confusion  of  their  own  faces? 

20  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  ;  Behold,  mine  anger 
and  my  fury  shall  be  poured 
out  upon  this  place,  upon  man, 
and  upon  beast,  and  upon  the 
trees  of  the  field,  and  upon  the 
fruit  of  the  ground ;  and  it  shall 
burn,  and  shall  not  bequenched. 

21 1F  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el;  Put 
your  burnt  offerings  unto  your 
sacrifices,  and  eat  flesh. 

22  For  I  spake  not  unto  your 
fathers,  nor  commanded  them 
in  the  day  that' I  brought  them 
out  of  the  land  of  fi'&fpt'  con" 
ceraing  burnt  offerings  or  sacri- 
fices: 

23  But  this  thing  commanded 
I  them,  saying,  Obey  my  yoke, 
and  I  will  be  your  God,  and  ye 
shall  be  my  people:  and  walk 
ye  in  all  the  ways  that  I  have 
commanded  you,  that  it  may  be 
well  unto  you. 

24  But  they  hearkened  not, 
nor  inclined  their  ear,  but 
walked  in  the  counsels  and  in 
the  imagination  of  their  evil 
heart,  and  went  backward,  and 
not  forward. 

25  Since  the  day  that  your 
fathers  came  forth  out  of  the 
land  of  E'fcypt  unto  this  day  I 
have  even  sent  unto  you  all  my 
servants  the  prophets,  daily  ris- 
ing up  early  and  sending  them : 

26  Yet  they  hearkened  not  un- 


to me,  nor  inclined  their  ear, 
but  hardened  their  neck:  they 
did  worse  than  their  fathers. 

27  Therefore  thou  shalt  speak 
all  these  words  unto  them;  but 
they  will  not  hearken  to  thee 
thou  shalt  also  call  unto  them; 
but  they  will  not  answer  thee. 

28  But  thou  shalt  say  unto 
them,  This  is  a  nation  that  obey 
eth  not  the  voice  of  the  Lord 
their  God,  nor  receiveth  correc- 
tion: truth  is  perished*  and  is 
cut  off  from  their  mouth. 

29  IT  Cut  off  thine  hair,  O  Je~ 
ru'sarlem,  and  cast  it  away, 
and  take  up  a  lamentation  on 
high  places;  for  the  Lord  hath 
rejected  and  forsaken  the  gen- 
eration of  his  wrath. 

50  For  the  children  of  Ju'dah 
have  done  evil  in  my  sight, 
saith  the  Lord:  they  have  set 
their  abominations  in  the  house 
which  is  called  by  my  name,  to 
pollute  it 

31  And  they  have  built  the 
high  places  of  Tft'phet,  which 
is  in  the  valley  of  the  son  of 
rHn'nom,  to  burn  their  sons  and 
their  daughters  in  the  fire; 
which  I  commanded  them  not; 
neither  came  it  into  my  heart 

32  IT  Therefore,  behold,  the 
days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
it  ahall  no  more  be  called  Tfl'- 
phet,  nor  the  valley  of  the  s 
of  Hin'nom,  but  the  valley  of 
slaughter:  for  they  shall  bury 
in  T6'phet,  till  there  be  no  place. 

33  And  the  carcases  of  this 
people  shall  be  meat  for  the 
fowls  of  the  heaven,  and  for 
the  beasts  of  the  earth;  and 
none  shall  fray  them  away. 

34  Then  will  I  cause  to  cease 
from  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and 
from  the  streets  of  Jfc-ru'sa-lem, 
the  voice  of  mirth,  and  the  voice 
of  gladness,  the  voice  of  the 
bridegroom,  and  the  voice  of 
the  bride :  for  the  land  shall  be 
desolate.

they  have  sought,  and  whom 
they  have  worshipped:  they 
shall  not  be  gathered,  nor  be  bur- 
ied ;  they  shall  be  for  dung  up- 
on the  face  of  the  earth. 

3  And  death  shall  be  chosen 
rather  than  life  by  all  the  resi- 
due of  them  that  remain  of  this 
evil  family,  which  remain  in  all 
the  places  whither  I  have  driven 
them,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

4  If  Moreover  thou  shalt  say 
unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; 
Shall  they  fall,  and  not  arise? 
shall  he  turn  away,  and  not  re- 
turn? 

5  Why  then  is  this  people 
of  JS-ru/sa-lem  slidden  back  by 
a  perpetual  backsliding?  they 
hold  fast  deceit,  they  refuse  to 
return. 

6  I  hearkened  and  heard,  but 
they  spake  hot  aright :  no  man 
repented  him  of  his  wickedness, 
saying,  What  haye  I  done? 
every  one  turned  to  his  course, 
as  the  horse  rusheth  into  the 
battle. 

7  Yea,  the  stork  in  the  heaven 
knoweth  her  appointed  times; 
and  the  turtle  and  the  crane  and 
the  swallow  observe  the  time 
of  their  coming ;  but  my  people 
know  not  the  judgment  of  the 
LdRD. 

8  How  do  ye  say,  V?e  are 
wise,  and  the  law  of  the  Lord 
is  with  us?  Lo,  certainly  in  vain 
made  he  it;  the  pen  of  the 
scribes  is  in  vain. 

9  The  wise  men  are  ashamed, 
they  are  dismayed  and  taken: 
lo,  fhey  have  rejected  the  word 
of  the  Lord;  and  what  wisdom 
is  in  them? 

10  Therefore  will  I  give  their 
wives  unto  others,  and  their 
fields  to  them  that  shall  inherit 
them :  for  every  one  from  the 
least  even  unto  the  greatest  is 
given  to  covetousness,  from  the 
prophet  even  unto  the  priest 
every  one  dealeth  falsely. 

11  tor  they  have  healed  the 
hurt  of  the  daughter  of  my 
people  slightly,  saying.  Peace, 
peace ;  when  there  is  no  peace. 

12  Were  they  ashamed  when 
they  had  committed  abomina- 
tion ?  nay,  they  Were  not  at  all 
ashamed,  neither  could  they 
blush :  therefore  shall  they  fall 
among  them  that  fall:  in  the 
time  of  their  visitation  they 
shall  be  cast  down,  saith  the 
Lord. 

13  I  will  surely  consume 
them,  saith  the  Lord:  there 
shall  be  no  grapes  on  the  vine, 
nor  figs  on  the  fig  tree,  and  the 
leaf  shall  fade;  and  the  things 


that  I  have  given  them  shall 
pass  away*  from  them. 

14  IT  Why  do  we  sit  still?  as- 
semble yourselves,  and  let  us 
enter  into  the  defenced  cities, 
and  let  us  be  silent  there:  for 
the  Lord  our  God  hath  put  us 
to  silence,  and  given  us  water 
of  gall  to  drink,  because  we  have 
sinned  against  the  Lord. 

15  We  looked  for  peace,  but 
no  good  came ;  and  for  a  time 
of  health,  and  behold  trouble ! 

16  The  snorting  of  his  horses 
was  heard  from  Pan:  the  whole 
land  trembled  at  the  sound  of 
the  neighing  of  his  strong  ones ; 
for  they  are  come,  and  have  de- 
voured the  land,  and  all  that  is 
in  it ;  the  city,  and  those  that 
dwell  therein. 

17  For,  behold,  I  will  send 
serpents,  cockatrices,  among 
you,  which  mill  not  be  charmed, 
and  they  shall  bite  you,  saith 
the  Lord. 

18  ^T  When  I  would  comfort 
myself  against  sorrow,  my  heart 
is  faint  in  me. 

19  Behold  the  voice  of  the 
cry  of  the  daughter. of  my  peo- 
ple because  of  them  that  dwell 
m  a  far  country:  Is  not  the 
Lord  in  Zi'5n?  is  not  her  king 
in  her?  Why  have  they  pro- 
voked me  to  anger  with  their 
graven  images,  and  with 
strange  vanities? 

20  The  harvest  is  past,  the 
summer  is  ended,  and  we  are 
not' saved. 

21  For  the  hurt  of  the  daugh- 
ter of  my  people  am  I  hurt;  I 
am  black;  astonishment  hath 
taken  hold  on  me. 

22  Is  there  no  balm  in  .Gfl'- 
e-Sd;   is  there   no   physician 
there?   why  then   is  not  the,' 
health  of  the  daughter  of  my 
people  recovered? 

CHAPTER  9 
The  prophet  bewails  the  manifold 
tins  of  his  people,  9  and  their  judg- 
ments. 
OH  that  my  head  were  wa- 
ters, and  mine  eyes  a  foun- 
tain of  tears,  that  I  might  weep 
day  and  night  for  the  slain  of 
the  daughter  of  my  people ! 

2  Oh  that  I  had  in  the 
wilderness  a  lodging  place  of 
wayfaring  men;  that  I  might 
leave  my  people,  and  go  from 
them!  for  they  be  all  adulter- 
ers, an  assembly  of  treacherous 
men. 

3  And  they  bend  their  tongues 
like  their  bow  for  lies:  but 
they  are  not  valiant  for  the 
truth  upon  the  earth ;  for  they 
proceed  from  evil  to  evil,  and

they  know  not  me,  saith  the 
LogD, 

4  Take  ye  heed  every  one  of 
his  neighbour,  and  trust  ye  not 
in  any  brother:  for  every  broth- 
er will  utterly  supplant,  and 
every  neighbour  will  walk  with 
slanders. 

5  And  they  will  deceive  every 
one  his  neighbour,  and  will  not 
speak  the  truth:  they  have 
taught  their  tongue  to  speak 
lied;  and  weary  themselves  to 
commit  iniquity. 

6  Thine  habitation  is  in  the 
midst  of  deceit;  through  deceit 
they  refuse  to  know  me,  saith 
the  Lord. 

7  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  Behold,  I  will 
melt  them,  and  try  them;  for 
how  shall  I  do  for  the  daughter 
of  my  people? 

8  Their  tongue  is  a*  an  arrow 
shot  out;  it  speaketh  deceit 
one  speaketh  peaceably  to  his 
neighbour  with  his  mouth,  but 
in  heart  he  layeth  his  wait. 

9  H  Shall  I  not  visit  them  for 
these  things  ?  saith  the  Lord 
shall  not  my  soul  be  avenged 
on  such  a  nation  as  this  ? 

10  For  the  mountains  will  I 
take  up  a  weeping  and  wailing, 
and  for  the  habitations  of  the 
wilderness  a  lamentation,  be- 
cause they  are  burned  up,  so 
that  none  can  pass  through 
them;  neither  can  men  hear 
the  voice  of  the  cattle;  both 
the  fowl  of  the  heavens  and 
the  beast  are  fled;  they  are 
gone. 

11  And  I  will  make  Jg-rji'sfi-

ons;  ana  I  will  make  the  cities

12  IT  Who  is  the  wise  man, 
that  may  understand  this?  and 
who  is  he  to  whom  the  mouth 
of  the  Lord  hath  spoken,  that 
he  may  declare  it,  for  what  the 
land  perisheth  and  is  burned 
up  like  a  wilderness,  that  none 
passeth,  through  ? 

13  And  the  Lord  saith,  Be- 
cause they  have  forsaken  my 
law  which  I  set  before  them, 
and  have  not  obeyed  my  voice, 
neither  walked  therein ; 

14  But  have  walked  after 
the  imagination  of  their  own 
heart,  and  after  Bfi'al-Im,  which 
their  fathers  taught  them : 

15  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts/the  Cod  of  Is/ra- 
el;  Behold,  I  will  feed  them, 
even  this  people,  with  worm- 
wood, and  give  them  water  of 
gall  to  drink. 


16  I  will  scatter  them  also 
among  the  heathen,  whom  nei- 
ther they  nor  their  fathers 
have  known :  and  I  will  send  a 
sword  after  them,  till  I  have 
consumed  them. 

17  If  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  Consider  ye,  and  call 
for  the  mourning  women,  that 
they  may  come;  and  send  for 
cunning  women,  that  they  may 
come : 

18  And  let  them  make  haste, 
and  take  up  a  wailing  for  us, 
that  our  eyes  may  run  down 
with  tears,  and  our  eyelids  gush 
out  with  waters. 

19  For  a  voice  of  wailing  is 
heard  out  of  Zi'on,  How  are  we 
spoiled!  we  are  greatly  con- 
founded, because  we  have  for- 
saken the  land,  because  our 
dwellings  have  cast  us  out 

20  Yet  |  hear  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  O  ye  women,  and 
let  your  ear  receive  the  word 
of  his  mouth,  and  teach  your 
daughters  wailing,  and  every 
one  her  neighbour  lamenta- 
tion. 

21  For  death  is  come  up  into 
our  windows,  and  is  entered 
into  our  palaces,  to  cut  off  the 
children  from  without  and  the 
young  men  from  the  streets. 

22  Speak,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Even  the  carcases  of 
men  shall  fall  as  dung  upon  the 
open  field,  and  as  the  handful 
after  the  harvestman,  and  none 
shallgather  them. 

23  1  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Let  not  the  wise  man  glory  in 
his  wisdom,  neither  let  the 
mighty  man  glory  in  his  might 
let  not  the  rich  man  glory  in 
his  riches : 

24  But  let  him  that  glorieth 
glory  in  this,  that  he  under- 
standeth  and  knoweth  me,  that 
I  am  the  Lord  which  exercise 
lovingkindness,  judgment  and 
righteousness,  in  the  earth :  for 
in  these  things  I  delight  saith 
the  Lord. 

25  IT  Behold,  the  days  come, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will 
punish  all  them  which  are  cir- 
cumcised with  the  uncircum- 
cised ; 

26  E'gypt  and  Jti'dah,  and 
E'dom,  and  the  children  of  Am'- 
mdn,  and  Mo'ah,  and  all  that 
are  in  the  utmost  corners,  that 
dwell  in  the  wilderness:  for  all 
these  nations  are  uncircum- 
cised,  and  all  the  house  of  It/- 
ra-el  are  uncircumcised  in  the 
heart.

HEAR  ye  the  word  which  the 
Lord  speaketh  unto  you, 
0  house  of  Is/ra-el : 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Learn 
not  the  way  of  the  heathen, 
and  be  not  dismayed  at  the 
signs  of  heaven;  for  the  hea- 
then are  dismayed  at  them. 

3  For  the  customs  of  the  peo- 
ple are  vain :  for  one  cutteth  a 
tree  out  of  the  forest,  the  work 
of  the  hands  of  the  workman, 
with  the  ax. 

4  They  deck  it  with  silver  and 
with  gold;  they  fasten  it  with 
nails  and  with  hammers,  that  it 
move  not 

5  They  are  upright  as  the 
palm  tree,  but  sneak  not :  they 
must  needs  be  borne,  because 
they  cannot  go.  Be  not  afraid 
of  them;  for  they  cannot  do 
evil,  neither  also  %8  it  in  them 
to  do  good. 

6  Forasmuch  as  there  is  none 
like  unto  thee,  0  Lord;  thou 
art  g^eat,  and  thy  name  is 
great  in  might 

7  Who  would  not  fear  thee,  0 
King  of  nations?  for  to  thee 
doth  it  appertain :  forasmuch  as 
among  all  the  wise  men  of  the 
nations,  and  in  all  their  king- 
doms, there  is  none  like  unto 
thee. 

8  But  they  are  altogether  bru- 
tish and  foolish :  the  stock  is  a 
doctrine  of  vanities. 

9  Silver  spread  into  plates  is 
brought  from  Tar'shish,  and 
sold  from  O'phaz,  the  work  of 
the  workman,  and  of  the  hands 
of  the  founder :  blue  and  purple 
is  their  clothing:  they  are  all 
the  work  of  cunning  men. 

10  But  the  Lord  is  the  true 
God,  he  is  the  living  God,  and 
an  everlasting  king:  at  his 
wrath  the  earth  shall  tremble, 
and  the  nations  shall  not  be 
able  to  abide  his  indignation. 

11  Thus  shall  ye  say  unto 
them,  The  gods  that  have  not 
made  the  neavens  and  the 
earth,  even  they  shall  perish 
from  the  earth,  and  from  under 
these  heavens. 

12  He  hath  made  the  earth  by 
his  power,  he  hath  established 
the  world  by  his  Wisdom,  and 
hath  stretched  out  the  heavens 
by  his  discretion. 

13  When  he  uttereth  his  voice, 
there  is  a  multitude  of  waters 
in  the  heavens,  and  he  causeth 
the  vapours  to  ascend  from  the 
ends  of  the  earth;  he  maketh 
lightnings  with  rain,  and  bring- 


eth  forth  the  wind  out  of  his 
treasures. 

14  Every  man  is  brutish  in  his 
knowledge:  every  founder  is 
confounded  by  the  graven  im- 
age: for  his  molten  image  is 
falsehood,  and  there  is  no 
breath  in  them. 

15  They  are  vanity,  and  the 
work  of  errors:  in  the  time  of 
their  visitation  they  shall  perish. 

16  The  portion  of  Ja  cob  is 
not  like  them:  for  he  is  the 
former  of  all  things ;  and  Ig'ra- 
el  is  the  rod  of  his  inheritance : 
The  Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name. 

17  TGather  up  thy  wares  out 
of  the  land,  0  inhabitant  of  the 
fortress. 

18  For  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Behold,  I  will  sling  out  the  in- 
habitants of  the  land  at  this 
once,  and  will  distress  them, 
that  they  nlay  find  it  so. 

19  ITWoe  is  me  for  my  hurt ! 
my  wound  is  grievous:  but  I 
said,  Truly  this  is  a  grief,  and 
I  must  bear  it 

20  My  tabernacle  is  spoiled, 
and  all  my  cords  are  broken: 
my  children  are  gone  forth  of 
me,  and  they  are  not :  there  is 
none  to  stretch  forth  my  tent 
any  more,  and  to  set  up  my 
curtains. 

21  For  the  pastors  are  become 
brutish,  and  have  not  sought 
the  Lord  :  therefore  they  shall 
not  prosper,  and  all  their  flocks 
shall  be  scattered.    . 

22  Behold,  the  noise  of  the 
bruit  is  come;  and  a  great  com- 
motion out  of  the  north  country, 
to  make  the  cities  of  Jti'dah  des- 
olate, and  a  den  of  dragons. 

23  fO  Lord,  I  know  that  the 
way  of  man  is  not  in  himself : 
it  is  not  in  man  that  walketh 
to  direct  his  steps. 

24  O  Lord,  correct  me,  but 
with  judgment;  not  in  thine 
anger,  lest  thou  bring  me  to 
nothing. 

25  Pour  out  thy  fury  upon  the 
heathen  that  know  thee  not, 
and  upon  the  families  that  call 
not  on  thy  name :  for  they  have 
eaten  up  Ja'cob,  and  devoured 
him,  and  consumed  him,  and 
have  made  his  habitation  deso- 
late.

men  of  JQ'dah,  and  to  the  in 
habitants  of  Jg-ru'sa-lem ; 

3  And  say  thou  unto  them, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  ls'- 
ra-el;  Cursed  be  the  man  that 
obeyeth  not  the  words  of  this 
covenant, 

4  Which  I  commanded  your 
fathers  in  the  day  that  I  brought 
them  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
fygypt,  from  the  iron  furnace, 
saying,  Obey  my  voice,  and  do 
them,  according  to  all  which  I 
command  you:  so  shall  ye  be 
my  people,  and  I  will  be  your 
God: 

5  That  I  may  perform  the 
oath  which  I  have  sworn  unto 
your  fathers,  to  give  them  a 
land  flowing  with  milk  and 
honey,  as  it  is  this  day.  Then 
answered  I,  and  said,  So  be  it, 
OLord. 

6  Then  the  Lord  said  unto 
me,  Proclaim  all  these  words  in 
the  cities  of  JQ'dah,  and  in  the 
streets  of  JS-ru'saVlem,  saying, 
Hear  ye  the  words  of  this  cove- 
nant, and  do  them. 

7  For  I  earnestly  protested 
unto  your  fathers  in  the  day 
that  I  brought  them  up  out  of 
the  land  of  E'fcfpt,  even  unto 
this  day,  rising  early  and  pro- 
testing, saying,  Obey  my  voice. 

8  Yet  they  obeyed  not,  nor 
inclined  their  ear,  but  walked 
every  one  in  the  imagination 
of  their  evil  heart :  therefore  I 
will  bring  upon  them  all  the 
words  of  this  covenant,  which 
I  commanded  them  to  do;  but 
they  did  them  not 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
A  conspiracy  is  found  among 
the  men  of  Ju'dah,  and  among 
the  inhabitants  of  JS-ru'sS-l&n. 

10  They  are  turned  back  to 
the  iniquities  of  their  forefa- 
thers, which  refused  to  hear 
my  words ;  and  they  went  after 
other  gods  to  serve  them:  the 
house  of  Is/ra-el  and  the  house 
of  Ju'dah  have  broken  my  cove- 
nant which  I  made  with  their 
fathers. 

11  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Behold,  I  will  bring  evil 
upon  them,  which  they  shall 
hot  be  able  to  escape;  and 
though  they  shall  cry  unto  me, 
I  will  not  hearken  unto  them. 

12  Then  shall  the  cities  of 
JQ'dah  and  inhabitants  of  J£» 
ru'sa-lem  go,  and  cry  unto  the 
gods  unto  whom  they  offer  in- 
cense :  but  they  shall  not  save 
them  at  all  in  the  time  of  their 
trouble. 

13  For  according  to  the  num- 
ber of  thy  cities  were  thy  gods, 

708 


0  Ju'dah ;  and  according  to  the 
number  of  the  streets  of  JS-ru'- 
sa-lem  have  ye  set  up  altars  to 
that  shameful  thing,  even  al- 
tars to  burn  incense  unto  BS'al. 

14  Therefore  pray  not  thou 
for  this  people,  neither  lift  up  a 
cry  or  prayer  for  them:  for  I 
will  not  hear  them  in  the  time 
that  they  cry  unto  me  for  their 
trouble. 

15  What  hath  my  beloved  to 
do  in  mine  house,  seeing  she 
hath  wrought  lewdness  with 
many,  and  the  holy  flesh  is 
passed  from  thee?  when  thou 
doest  evil,  then  thou  rejoicest 

16  The  Lord  called  thy  name, 
A  green  olive  tree,  fair,  and  of 
goodly  fruit:  with  the  noise  of 
a  great  tumult  he  hath  kindled 
fire  upon  it,  and  the  branches 
of  it  are  broken. 

17  For  the  Lord  of  hosts,  that 
planted  thee,  hath  pronounced 
evil  against  thee,  for  the  evil 
of  the  house  of  ls/ra-el  and  of 
the  house  of  JQ'dah,  which  they 
have  done  against  themselves 
to  provoke  me  to  anger  in  of- 
fering incense  unto  Baal. 

18  IT  And  the  Lord  hath  given 
me  knowledge  of  it,  and  I  know 
it :  then  thou  shewedst  me  their 
doings. 

19  But  I  was  like  a  lamb  or 
an  ox  that  is  brought  to  the 
slaughter;  and  I  knew  not  that 
they  had  devised  devices  against 
me,  saying,  Let  us  destroy  the 
tree  with  the  fruit  thereof,  and 
let  us  cut  him  off  from  the  land 
of  the  living,  that  his  name  may 
be  no  more  remembered. 

20  But,  0  Lord  of  hosts,  that 
judgest  righteously,  that  triest 
the  reins  and  the  heart,  let  me 
see  thy  vengeance  on  them :  for 
unto  thee  have  I  revealed  my 
cause. 

21  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  the  men  of  An'a-th5th, 
that  seek  thy  life,  saying,  Proph- 
esy not  in  the  name  of  the 
Lord,  that  thou  die  not  by  our 
hand : 

22  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  Behold,  I  will 
punish  them:  the  young  men 
shall  die  by  the  sword;  their 
sons  and  their  daughters  shall 
die  by  famine : 

23  And  there  shall  l>e  no 
remnant  of  them:  for  I  will 
bring  evil  upon  the  men  of 
An'a-thdth,  even  the  year  of 
their  visitation.

[ch.47.6. 


RIGHTEOUS  art  thou,  0 
Lord,  when  I  plead  with 
thee :  yet  let  me  talk  with  thee 
of  thy  judgments:  Wherefore 
doth  the  way  of  the  wicked 
prosper  1  wherefore  are  all  they 
happy  that  deal  very  treacher- 
ously? 

2  Thou  hast  planted  them, 
yea,  they  have  taken  root: 
they,  grow,  yea,  they  bring  forth 
fruit:  thou  art  near  in  their 
mouth,  and  far  from  their 
reins. 

3  Bat  thou,  0  Lord,  knowest 
me:  thou  hast  seen  me,  and 
tried  mine  heart  toward  thee: 
pull  them  out  like  sheep  for  the 
slaughter,  and  prepare  them  for 
the  day  of  slaughter. 

4  How  long  shall  the  land 
mourn,  and  the  herbs  of  every 
field  wither,  for  the  wickedness 
of  them  that  dwell  therein  ?  the 
beasts  are  consumed,  and  the 
birds;  because  they  said,  He 
shall  not  see  our  last  end. 

5  TO  thou  hast  run  with  the 
footmen,  and  they  have  wearied 
thee,  then  how  canst  thou  con- 
tend with  horses?  and  if  in  the 
land  of  peace,  wherein  thou 
trustedst,  they  wearied  thee, 
then  how  wilt  thou  do  in  the 
swelling  of  J6Ydan  ? 

6  For  even  thy  brethren,  and 
the  house  of  thy  father,  even 
they  have  dealt  treacherously 
with  thee ;  yea,  they  have  called 
a  multitude  after  thee :  believe 
them  not,  though  they  speak 
fair  words  unto  thee. 

7  If  I  have  forsaken  mine 
house,  I  have  left  mine  her- 
itage ;  I  have  given  the  dearly 
beloved  of  my  soul  into  the  hand 
of  her  enemies. 

8  Mine  heritage  is  unto  me 
as  a  lion  in  the  forest ;  it  crieth 
out  against  me :  therefore  have 
I  bated  it 

9  Mine  heritage  is  unto  me 
as  a  speckled  bird,  the  birds 
round  about  are  against  her; 
come  ye,  assemble  all  the  beasts 
of  the  field,  come  to  devour. 

10  Many  pastors  have  de- 
stroyed my  vineyard,  they  have 
trodden  my  portion  under  foot, 
they  have  made  my  pleasant 
portion  a  desolate  wilderness. 

11  They  have  made  it  desolate, 
and  being  desolate  it  mourneth 
unto  me;  the  whole  land  is  made 
desolate,  because  no  man  layeth 
it  to  heart 

12  The  spoilers  are  come  up- 
on all  high  places  through  the 
wilderness :  for  the  sword  pf  the 
Lord  shall  devour  from  the  one 
end  of  the  land  even  to  the  other 


end  of  the  land:  no  flesh  shall 
have  peace.  ■ 

13  They  have  sown  wheat 
but  shall  reap  thorns :  they  have 
put  themselves  to  pain,  but  shall 
not  profit:  and  they  shall  be 
ashamed  of  your  revenues  be- 
cause of  the  fierce  anger  of  the 
Lord. 

14  f  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
against  all  mine  evil  neigh- 
bours, that  touch  the  inherit- 
ance which  I  have  caused  my 
people  Is/ra-el  to  inherit;  Be- 
hold, I  will  pluck  them  out  of 
their  land,  and  pluck  out  the 
house  of  Jfi'dah  from  among 
them. 

15  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
after  that  I  have  plucked  tnem 
out  I  will  return,  and  have  com- 
passion on  them,  and  will  bring 
them  again,  every  man  to  his 
heritage,  and  every  man  to  his 
land. 

16  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
if  they  will  diligently  learn  the 
ways  of  my  people,  to  swear  by 
my  name,  Trie  Lord  liveth ;  as 
they  taught  my  people  to  swear 
by  Ba'al;  then  shall  they  be 
built  in  the  midst  of  my  people. 

17  But  if  they  will  not  obey,  I 
will  utterly  pluck  up  and  destroy 
that  nation,  saith  the  Lord, 

CHAPTER  13 

By  the  type  of  a  linen  girdle  God 
prefigures  trie  people's  destruction, 
12  By  the  bottles  filled  with  wine 
their  excess  in  misery  foretold,  15 
Exhortation  to  repentance. 

THUS  saith  the  Lord  unto 
me,  Go  and  get  thee  a  linen 
girdle,  and  put  it  upon  thy  loins, 
and  put  it  not  in  water. 

2  So  I  got  a  girdle  according 
to  the  word  of  the  Lord,  and 
put  it  on  my  loins. 

3  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me  the  second  time, 
saying, 

4  Take  the  girdle  that  thou 
hast  got,  which  is  upon  thy 
loins,  and  arise,  go  to  Efi-phrfi'- 
teg,  and  hide  it  there  in  a  hole 
of  the  rock. 

5  So  I  went,  and  hid  it  by 
Eu-phra'tea,  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded me. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
many  days,  that  the  Lord  said 
unto  me,  Arise,  go  to  Ett-phra'- 
teg,  and  take  the  girdle  from 
thence,  which  I  commanded 
thee  to  hide  there. 

7  Then  I  went  to  Eu-phrfi'tes, 
and  digged,  and  took  the  gir- 
dle from  the  place  where  I  had 
hid  it:  and,  behold,  the  girdle 
was  marred,  it  was  profitable 
for  nothing.

8  Then  the  word  of  the  .Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying. 

9  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  After 
this  manner  will  I  mar  the  pride 
of  Ju'dah,  and  the  great  pride 
of  JS-ru'sa-lSm. 

10  This  evil  people,  which  re- 
fuse to  hear  my  words,  which 
walk  in  the  imagination  of  their 
heart,  and  walk  after  other  gods, 
to  .serve  them,  and  to  worship 
them,  shall*  even  be  as  this  gir- 
dle, which  is  good  for  nothing. 

11  For  as  the  girdle  cleavetn 
to  the  loins  of  a  man,  so  have  I 
caused  to  cleave  unto  me  the 
whole  house  of  Is'ra»el  and  the 
whole  house  of  Ju'dah,  saith  the 
Lord  ;  that  they  might  be  unto 
me  for  a  peonle,  and  for  a  name, 
and  for  a  praise,  and  for  a  glory : 
but  they  would  not  hear. 

12  tlWeforethoushaltspeak 
unto  them  this  word ;  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  of  Ig'ra-el,  Every 
bottle  shall  be  filled  with  wine 
and  they  shall  say  unto  thee,  Do 
we  not  certainly  know  that  every 
bottle  shall  be  filled  with  wine? 

13  Then  shalt  thou  say  unto 
them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Be- 
hold, I  will  fill  all  the  inhabit- 
ants of  this  land,  even  the  kings 
that  sit  unon  Da'vid's  throne, 
and  the  priests,  and  the  proph- 
ets, and  all*  the  inhabitants  oi 
JS-ru'sa-lfcm,  with  drunkenness. 

14  And  I  will  dash  them  one 
against  another,  even  the  fa- 
thers and  the  sons  together, 
saith  the  Lord  :  I  will  not  pity, 
nor  spare,  nor  have  mercy,  but 
destroy  them. 

15  UHear  ye,  and  give  ear;  be 
not  proud:  for  the  Lord  hath 
spoken, 

16  Give  glory  to  the  Lord 
your  God,  before  he  cause  dark' 
ness,  and  before  your  feet  stum- 
ble upon  the  dark  mountains, 
and,  while  ye  look  for  light,  he 
turn  it  into  the  shadow  of  death, 
and  make  it  gross  darkness. 

17  But  if  ye  will  not  hear  it, 
my  soul  shall  weep  in  secret 
places  for  your  pride ;  and  mine 
eye  shall  weep  sore,  and  run 
down  with  tears,  because  the 
Lord's  flock  is  carried  away 
captive. 

18  Say  unto  the  king  and  to 
the  queen,  Humble  yourselves, 
sit  down:  for  your  principal- 
ities shall  come  down,  even  the 
crown  of  your  glory. 

19  The  cities  of  the  south 
shall  be  shut  up,  and  none  shall 
open   them:  Ju'dah   shall   be 


carried  away  captive  all  of  it,  it 
shall  be  wholly  carried  away 
captive. 

7X0 


20  Lift  up  your  eyes,  and  be- 
hold them  that  come  from  the 
north:  where  is  the  flock  that 
was  given  thee,  thy  beautiful 
flock? 

21  What  wilt  thou  say  when 
he  shall  minish  thee?  for  thou 
hast  taught  them  to  be  captains, 
and  as  chief  over  thee:  shall 
not  sorrows  take  thee,  as  a  wom- 
an in  travail  ? 

22  1FAnd  if  thou  say  in  thine 
heart,  Wherefore  come  these 
things  upon  me?  For  the  great- 
ness of  thine  iniquity  are  thy 
skirts  discovered,  ana  thy  heels 
made  bare. 

23  Canthetfthl-6'pl-anchange 
his  skin,  or  the  leopard  his  spots? 
then  may  ye  also  do  good,  that 
are  accustomed  to  do  evil. 

24  Therefore   will    I    scatter 
them  as  the  stubble  that 
eth  away  by  the  wind  of  the 
wilderness. 

2$  This  is  thy  lot,  the  portion 
of  thy  measures  from  me,  saith 
the  Lord;  because  thou  hast 
forgotten  me,  and  trusted  in 
falsehood. 

26  Therefore  will  I  discover 
thy  skirts  upon  thy  face,  that 
thy  shame  may  appear. 

27  I  have  seen  tnine  adulter- 
ies, and  thy  neighings,  the  lewd- 
ness of  thy  whoredom,  and 
thine  abominations  on  the  hills 
in  the  fields.  Woe  unto  thee, 
0  J6-ru'sS-lem !  wilt  thou  not  be 
made  clean  ?  when  shall  it  once 
be? 

CHAPTER  14 

A  grievoue  famine.  7  The  prophet's 
prayer.  13  Both  the  lying  proph- 
ets and  the  people  who  believe  them 
shall  perish. 

fTIHE  word  of  the  Lord  that 
X  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  con- 
cerning the  dearth. 

2  Ju'dah  mourneth,  and  the 
gates  thereof  languish ;  they  are 
black  unto  the  ground ;  and  the 
cry  of  X5-nj,'sfi-15m  is  gone  up. 

3  And  their  npbles  have  sent 
their  little  ones  to  the  waters : 
they  came  to  the  pits,  and  found 
no  water;  they  returned  with 
their  vessels  empty ;  they  were 
ashamed  and  confounded,  and 
covered  their  heads. 

4  Because  the  ground  is 
chapt,  for  there  was  no  rain 
in  tne  earth,  the  plowmen  were 
ashamed,  they  covered  their 
heads. 

5  Yea,  the  hind  also  calved  in 
the  field,  and  forsook  it,  because 
there  was  no  grass. 

6  And  the  wild  asses  did  stand

7  H  0  Lord,  though  our  iniq-

it  for  thy  name's  sake:  for  our 
backsliding  are  many ;  we  have 
sinned  against  thee. 

8  0  the  hope  of  Ig'ra-el,  the 
saviour  thereof  in  time  of  trou- 
ble, why  shouldest  thou  be  as  a 
stranger  in  the  land,  and  as 
a  wayfaring  man  that  turneth 
aside  to  tarry  for  a  night  ? 

9  Why  shouldest  thou  be  as  a 
man  astonied,  as  a  mighty  man 
that  cannot  save?  yet  thou,  0 
Lord,  art  in  the  midst  of  us, 
and  we  are  called  by  thy  name ; 
leave  us  not 

10  IF  Thus  saith  the  Lord  un- 
to this  people,  Thus  have  they 
loved  to  wander,  they  have  not 
refrained  their  feet,  therefore 
the  Lord  doth  not  accept  them ; 
he  will  now  remember  their  in- 
iquity, and  visit  their  sins. 

11  Then  said  the  Lord  unto 
me,  Pray  not  for  this  people  for 
their  good. 

12  mien  they  fast,  I  will  not 
hear  their  cry ;  and  when  they 
offer  burnt  offering  and  an  ob- 
lation, I  will  not  accept  them : 
but  I  will  consume  them  by  the 
sword,  and  by  the  famine,  and 
by  the  pestilence. 

13  IF  Then  said  I,  Ah,  Lord 
God  !  behold,  the  prophets  say 
unto  them,  Ye  shall  not  see  the 
sword,  neither  shall  ye  have 
famine;  but  I  will  give  you  as- 
sured peace  in  this  place. 

14  Then  the  Lord  said  unto 
me,  The  prophets  prophesy  lies 
in  my  name:  I  sent  them  not, 
neither  have  I  commanded 
them,  neither  spake  unto  them : 
they  prophesy  unto  vou  a  false 
vision  and  divination,  and  a 
thing  of  nought,  and  the  deceit 
of  their  heart 

15  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  concerning  the  prophets 
that  prophesy  in  my  name,  and 
I  sent  them  not,  yet  they  say, 
Sword  and  famine  shall  not  be 
in  this  land;  By  sword  and 
famine  shall  those  prophets  be 
consumed. 

16  And  the  people  to  whom 
they  prophesy  shall  be  cast  out 
in  the  streets  of  Je-ru'si-lem 
because  of  the  famine  and  the 
sword;  and  they  shall  have 
none  to  bury  them,  them,  then- 
wives,  nor  their  sons,  nor  their 
daughters :  for  I  will  pour  their 
wickedness  upon  them* 

17  Therefore  thou  shalt  say 
this  word  unto  them ;  Let  mine 
eyes  run  down  with  tears  night 


and  day,  and  let  them  not  cease: 
for  the  virgin  daughter  of  my 
people  is  broken  with  a  great 
breach,  with  a  very  grievous 
blow,  . 

18  If  I  go  forth  into  the  field, 
then  behold  the  slain  with  the 
sword !  and  if  I  enter  into  the 
city,  then  behold  them  that  are 
sick  with  famine !  yea,  both  the 
prophet  and  the  pnest  go  about 
into  a  land  that  they  know  not 

19  Hast  thou  utterly  rejected 
Ju'dah?  hath  thy  soul  lothed 
Zi'dn?  why  hast  thou  smitten 
us,  and  there  is  no  healing  for 
us?  we  looked  for  peace,  and 
there  is  no  good;  and  for  the 
time  of  healing,  and  behold 
trouble! 

20  We  acknowledge,  Q  Lord, 
our  wickedness,  and  the  in- 
iquity of  our  fathers:  for  we 
have  sinned  against  thee. 

21  Do  not  abhor  us,  for  thy 
name's  sake,  do  not  disgrace  the, 
throne  of  thy  glory :  remember, 
break  not  thy  covenant  with  us. 

22  Are  there  any  among  the 
vanities  of  the  Gen'tile?  that 
can  cause  rain?  or  can  the 
heavens  give  showers?  art  not 
thou  he,  0  Lord  our  God?  there- 
fore we  will  wait  upon  thee 
for  thou-  hast  made  all  these 
things. 

CHAPTER  15 

Utier  rejection  and  manifold  judg- 
ments of  the  Jew*.  10  Jeremiah 
receives  a  gracious  promise  for 
himself,  12  and  a  threatening  for 
them. 

rPHEN  said  the  Lord  unto  me, 
X  Though  Md'sea  and  Sam'u- 
el  stood  before  me,  yet  my  mind 
could  not  be  toward  this  peo- 
ple :  cast  them  out  of  my  sight, 
and  let  them  go  forth. 

2  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
if  they  say  unto  thee.  Whither 
shall  we  go  forth?  then  thou 
shalt  tell  them,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Such  as  are  for  death, 
to  death;  and  such  as  are  for 
the  sword,  to  the  sword;  and 
such  as  are.  for  the  famine,. to 
the  famine ;  and  such  as  are  for 
the  captivity,  to  the  captivity, 

3  And  I  will  appoint  over 
them  four  kinds,  saith  the 
Lord  :  the  sword  to  slay,  and 
the  dogs  to  tear,  and  the  fowls 
of  the  heaven,  and  the  beasts  of 
the  earth,  to  devour  and  destroy. 

4  And  I  will  cause  them  to 
be  removed  into  all  kingdoms 
of  the  earth,  because  of  M&- 
nas'seh  the  son  of  H5z-e-ki'ah 
king  of  Ju'dah,  for  that  which 
he  did  in  Je-ra'sa-lem.

upon  thee,  0  JS-ru/sa-lem  ? .  or

who  shall  bemoan  thee?  or  who 
shall  go  aside  to  ask  how  thou 
doest? 

6  Thou  hast  forsaken  me, 
saith  the  Lord,  thou  art  gone 
backward:  therefore  will  I 
stretch  out  my  hand  against 
thee,  and  destroy  thee;  I  am 
weary  with  repenting. 

7  And  I  will  fan  them  with  a 
fan  in  the  gates  of  the  land;  I 
will  bereave  them  of  children, 
I  will  destroy  mv  people,  since 
they  return  not  from  their  ways. 

8  Their  widows  are  increased 
to  me  above  the  sand  of  the 
seas :  I  have  brought  upon  them 
against  the  mother  of  the  young 
men  a  spoiler  at  noonday:  I 
have  caused  him  to  fall  upon  it 
suddenly,  and  terrors  upon  the 
city. 

9  She  that  bath  borne  seven 
languisheth:  she  hath  given 
up  the  ghost ;  her  sun  is  gone 
down  while  it  was  yet  day : 
she  hath  been  ashamed  and 
confounded :  and  the  residue  of 
them  will  I  deliver  to  the  sword 
before  their  enemies,  saith  the 
Lord. 

10  IT  Woe  is  me,  my  mother, 
that  thou  hast  borne  me  a  man 
of  strife  and  a  man  of  conten- 
tion to  the  whole  earth !  I  have 
neither  lent  on  usury,  nor  men 
have  lent  to  me  on  usury ;  yet 
every  one  of  them  doth  curse 
me. 

11  The  Lord  said,  Verily  it 
shall  be  well  with  thy  remnant; 
verily  I  will  cause  the  enemy  to 
entreat  thee  well  in  the  time  of 
evil  and  in  the  time  of  affliction, 

12  Shall  iron  break  the  north- 
ern iron  and  the  steel  ? 

13  Thy  substance  and  thy 
treasures  will  I  give  to  the 
spoil  without  price,  and  that 
for  all  thy  sins,  even  in  all  thy 
borders. 

14  And  I  will  make  thee  to 
pass  with  thine  enemies  into  a 
land  which  thou  knowest  not: 
for  a  lire  is  kindled  in  mine 
anger,  which  shall  burn  upon 
you. 

15  1f  O  Lord,  thou  knowest : 
remember  me,  and  visit  me, 
and  revenge  me  of  my  persecu- 
tors ;  take  me  not  away  in  thy 
longsuff ering :  know  that  for 
thy  sake  I  have  suffered  rebuke. 

16  Thy  words  were  found, 
and  I  did  eat  them;  and  thy 
word  was  unto  me  the  joy  and 
rejoicing  of  mine  heart*:  for  I 
am  called  by  thy  name,  O  Lord 
God  of  hosts. 

17  I  sat  not  in  the  assembly 
of  the  mockers,  nor  rejoiced;  I 


sat  alone  because  of  thy  hand 
for  thou  hast  filled  me  with 
indignation. 

18  Why  is  my  pain  perpetual, 
and  my  wound  incurable,  which 
refuseth  to  be  healed  ?  wilt  thou 
be  altogether  unto  me  as  a  liar, 
and  as  waters  that  fail  ? 

19  IT  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  If  thou  return,  then  will 
I  bring  thee  again,  and  thou 
shalt  stand  before  me:  and  if 
thou  take  forth  the  precious 
from  the  vile,  thou  shalt  be  as 
my  mouth:  let  them  return 
unto  thee;  but  return  not  thou 
unto  them. 

20  And  I  will  make  thee  un- 
to this  people  a  fenced  bra- 
sen  wall:  and  they  shall  fight 
against  thee,  but  they  shall  not 
prevail  against  thee:  for  I  am 
with  thee  to  save  thee  and  to 
deliver  thee,  saith  the  Lord. 

21  And  I  will  deliver  thee  out 
of  the  hand  of  the  wicked,  and 
I  will  redeem  thee  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  terrible. 

CHAPTER  16 

By  two  types  the  utter  ruin  of  the 
Jew  ieforeeheum  :  14  their  return 
from  captivity  stranger  than  their 
deliverance  out  of  Egypt. 

THE  word  of  the  Lord  came 
also  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Thou  shalt  not  take  thee 
a  wife,  neither  shalt  thou  have 
sons  or  daughters  in  this  place. 

3  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  con- 
cerning the  sons  and  concern- 
ing the  daughters  that  are  borri 
in  this  place,  and  concerning 
their  mothers  that  bare  them, 
and  concerning  their  fathers 
that  begat  them  in  this  land; 

4  They  shall  die  of  grievous 
deaths;  they  shall  not  be  la- 
mented; neither  shall  they  be 
buried;  but  they  shall  be  as 
dung  upon  the  face  of  the 
earth:  and  they  shall  be  con- 
sumed by  the'  sword,  and  by 
famine;  and  their  carcases 
shall  be  meat  for  the  fowls  of 
heaven,  and  for  the  beasts  of 
the  earth. 

5  For  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Enter  not  into  the  house  of 
mourning,  neither  go  to  lament 
nor  bemoan  them:  for  I  have 
taken  away  my  peace  from  this 
people,  saith  the  Lord,  even 
Idvingkindness  and  mercies. 

6  Both  the  great  and  the  small 
shall  die  in  this  land :  they  shall 
not  be  buried,  neither  shall  men 
lament  for  them,  nor  cut  them- 
selves, nor  make  themselves 
bald  for  them: 

7  Neither  shall  men  tear  them- 
selves for  them  in  mourning,  to

their  father  or  for  their  mother. 

8  Thou  shalt  not  also  go  into 
the  house  of  feasting,  to  sit  with 
them  to  eat  and  to  drink. 

9  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is/ra-el;  Be- 
hold, I  will  cause  to  cease  out 
pf  this  place  in  your  eyes,  and 
in  your  days,  the  voice  of  mirth, 
and  the  voice  of  gladness,  the 
voice  of  the  bridegroom,  and  the 
voice  of  the  bride. 

10  HAnd  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  thou  shalt  shew  this  peo- 
ple all  these  words,  and  they 
shall  say  unto  thee,  Wherefore 
hath  the  Lord  pronounced  all 
this  great  evil  against  us?  or 
what  is  our  iniquity  7  or  what 
iff  our  sin  that  we  have  com- 
mitted against  the  Lord  our 
God? 

11  Then  shalt  thou  say  unto 
them,  Because  your  fathers  have 
forsaken  me,  saith  the  Lord,  and 
have  walked  after  other  gods, 
and  have  served  them,  and  have 
worshipped  them,  and  have  for- 
saken me,  and  have  not  kept 
my  law; 

12  And  ye  have  done  worse 
than  your  fathers;  for,  behold, 
ye  walk  every  one  after  the 
imagination  of  his  evil  heart, 
that  they  may  not  hearken  un- 
to me: 

13  Therefore  will  I  cast  you 
out  of  this  land  into  a  land  that 
ye  know  not,  neither  ye  nor 
your  fathers;  and  there  shall 
ye  serve  other  gods  day  and 
night;  where  I  will  not  shew 
you  favour. 

14  IT  Therefore,  behold,  the 
days  come,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  it  shall  no  more  be  said, 
The  Lord  liveth,  that  brought 
up  the  children  of  Is/ra-el  out 
ofthelandof  rgypt; 

15  But,  The  Lord  liveth,  that 
brought  up  the  children  of  ls> 
ra-el  from  the  land  of  the  north, 
and  from  all  the  lands  whither 
he  had  driven  them ;  and  I  will 
bring  them  again  into  their 
land  that  I  gave  unto  their  fa- 
thers. 

16  t  Behold,  1  will  send  for 
many  fishers,  saith  the  Lord, 
and  thev  shall  fish  them;  and 
after  will  I  send  for  many  hunt- 
ers, ana  they  shall  hunt  them 
from,  every  mountain,  and  from 
every  hill,  and  out  of  the  holes 
of  the  rocks. 

,  17  for  mine  eyes  are  upon  all 
their  ways:  they  are  not  hid 
from  my  face,  neither  is  their 


iniquity  hid  from  mine  eyes. 

18  And  first  I  will  recompense 
their  iniquity  and  their  sin  dou- 
ble ;  because  they  have  defiled 
my  land,  they  have  filled  mine 
inheritance  with  the  carcases  of 
their  detestable  and  abominable 
things. 

19  0  Lord,  my  strength,  and 
my  fortress,  and  my  refuge  in 
the  day  of  affliction,  the  Gen'- 
tileg.  shall  come  unto  thee  from 
the  ends  of  the  earth,  and  shall 
say,  Surely  our  fathers  have  in- 
herited  lies,  vanity,  and  things 
wherein  there  is  no  profit 

20  Shall  a  man  make  gods 
unto  himself,  and  they  are  no 
gods? 

21  Therefore,  behold,  I  will 
this  once  cause  them  to  know, 
I  will  cause  them  to  know  mine 
hand  and  my  might ;  and  thev 
shall  know  that  my  name  %s 
The  Lord. 

CHAPTER  17 

Captivity  of  Judah  for  sin.  5  Trust 
in  man  cursed,  7  in  God  blessed. 
9  The  deceitful  heart  cannot  im- 
pose upon  God.  12  In  God  alone 
is  sure  salvation. 

mHE  sin  of  Ju'dah  is  written 
X  with  a  pen  of  iron,  and  with 
the  point  of  a  diamond:  it  is 
graven  upon  the  table  of  their 
heart,  and  upon  the  horns  ot 
your  altars; 

2  Whilst  their  children  re- 
member  their  altars  and  their 
groves  by  the  green  trees  upon 
the  high  hills. 

3  0  mjr  mountain  in  the  field, 
I  will  give  thy  substance  and 
all  thy  treasures  to  the  spoil, 
and  thy  high  places  for  sin, 
throughout  all  thy  borders. 

4  And  thou,  even  thyself,  shalt 
discontinue  from  thine  heritage 
that  I  gave  thee;  and  I  will 
cause  thee  to  serve  thine  ene- 
mies in  the  land  which  thou 
knowest  not:  for  ye  have  kin 
died  a  fire  in  mine  anger,  which 
shall  burn  for  ever. 

5  IT  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Cursed  be  the  man  that  trust 
eth  in  man,  and  maketh  flesh 
his.  arm,  and  whose  heart  de- 
parteth  from  the  Lord. 

6  For  he  shall  be  like  the 
heath  .in  the  desert,  and  shall 
not  see  when  good  cometh ;  but 
shall  inhabit  the  parched  places 
in  the  wilderness,  in  a  salt  land 
and  not  inhabited. 

7  Blessed  is  the  man  that 
trusteth  in  the  Lord,  and  whose 
hope  the  Lord  is. 

8  For  he  shall  be  as  a  tree 
planted  by  the  waters,  and  that

river,  arid  shall  not  see  when 
heat  cometh,  but  her  leaf  shall 
be  green ;  and  shall  not  be  care- 
ful in  the  year  of  drought,  nei- 
ther shall  cease  from  yielding 
fruit 

9  IT  The  heart  is  deceitful 
above  all  things,  and  desper- 
ately wicked:  who  can  know 
it? 

10  I  the  Lord  search  the 
heart,  J  try  the  reins,  even  to 
give  every  man  according  to 
his  ways,  and  according  to  the 
fruit  of  his  doings. 

11  As  the  partridge  sitteth  on 
eggs,  and  hatcheth  them  not; 
so  he  that  getteth  riches,  and 
not  by  right,  shall  leave  them 
in  the  midst  of  his  days,  and  at 
his  end  shall  be  a  fool. 

12,  IT  A  glorious  high  throne 
from  the  beginning  is  the  place 
of  our  sanctuary. 

13  0  Lord,  the  hope  of  tg'ra- 
el,  all  that  forsake  thee  shall  be 
ashamed,  and  they  that  depart 
from  me  shall  be  written  in  the 
earth,  because  they  have  for- 
saken the  Lord,  the  fountain  of 
living  waters. 

14  Heal  me,  0  Lord,  and  I 
shall  be  healed;  save  me,  and 
I  shall  be  saved:  for  thou  art 
my  praise. 

15  Behold,  they  say  unto  me, 
Where  is  the  word  of  the  Lord  ? 
let  it  come  now. 

16  As  for  me,  I  have  not  has- 
tened from  being  a  pastor  to 
follow  thee :.  neither  have  I 
desired  the  woeful  day;  thou 
knowest:  that  which  came  out 
of  my  lips  was  right  before 
thee. 

17  Be  not  a  terror  unto  me 
thou  art  my  hope  in  the  day 
of  evil. 

18  Let  them  be  confounded 
that  persecute  me,  but  let  not 
me  be  confounded :  let  them  be 
dismayed,  but  let  not  me  be  dis- 
mayed: bring  upon  them  the 
day  of  evil,  and  destroy  them 
with  double  destruction. 

19  IfThUs  said  the  Lord  unto 
me;  Go  and  stand  in  the  gate 
of  the  children  of  the  people, 
whereby  the  kings  of  Ju'dah 
come  in,  and  by  the  which  they 
go  out,  and  in  all  the  gates  of 
Je-ru'sS-l&n ; 

20  And  say  unto  them,  Hear 
e  the  word  of  the  Lord,  ye 

.  ings  of  Ju'dah,  and  all  JQ'dah, 
ancf  all  the  inhabitants  of  JS- 
rn'sa-lem,  that  enter  in  by  these 
gates: 

21  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Take 
heed  to  yourselves,  and  bear  no 
burden  on  the  sabbath  day,  nor 


U 


bring  it  in  by  the  gates  of  JS- 
ru'sa-lem; 

22  Neither  carry  forth  a  bur- 
den out  of  your  houses  on  the 
sabbath  day,  neither  do  ye  any 
work,  but  hallow  ye  the  sab- 
bath day,  as  I  commanded  your 
fathers. 

23  But  they  obeyed  not,  nei- 
ther inclined  their  ear,  but  made 
their  neck  stiff,  that  they  might 
not  hear,  nor  receive  instruc- 
tion. 

24  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
if  ye  diligently  hearken  unto 
me,  saith  the  Lord,  to  bring  in 
no  burden  through  the  gates  of 
this  city  on  the  sabbath  day,  but 
hallow  the  sabbath  day,  to  do  no 
work  therein ; 

25  Then  shall  there  enter 
into  the  gates  of  this  city  kings 
and  princes  sitting  upon  the 
throne  of  Da'vid,  riding  in  char- 
iots and  on  horses,  they,  and 
tH'eir  princes,  the  men  of  Jfl 
dah,  and  the  inhabitants  of  J€- 
ru'sS-lem:  and  this  city  shall 
remain  for  ever. 

26  And  they  shall  come  from 
the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  from 
the  places  about  JS-ru/sS4gm, 
and  from  the  land  of  Ben'ja- 
mln,  and  from  the  plain,  and 
from  the  mountains,  and  from 
the  south,  bringing  burnt  offer- 
ings, and  sacrifices,  and  meat 
offerings,  and  incense,  and  bring- 
ing sacrifices  of  praise,  unto  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

27  But  if  ye  will  not  hearken 
unto  me  to  hallow  the  sabbath 
day,  and  not  to  bear  a  burden, 
even  entering  in  at  the  gates  of 
Je^ru'sd-Iem  on  the  sabbath  day ; 
then  will  I  kindle  a  fire  in  tne 
gates  thereof,  and  it  shall  de- 
vour the  palaces  of  Je^ru'sa-lem, 
and  it  shall  not  be  quenched.

do  with  you  as  this  potter  ?  saith 
the  Lord.  Behold,  as  the  clay 
is  in  the  potter's  hand,  so  are 
ye  in  mine  hand,  0  house  of  !s> 
ra-el. 

7  At  what  instant  I  shall 
speak  concerning  a  nation,  and 
concerning  a  kingdom,  to  pluck 
up,  and  to  pull  down,  and  to 
destroy  it ; 

8  If  that  nation,  against 
whom  I  have  pronounced,  turn 
from  their  evil,  I  will  repent  of 
the  evil  that  I  thought  to  do  un 
to  them. 

9  And  at  what  instant  I  shall 
speak  concerning  a  nation,  and 
concerning  a  kingdom,  to  build 
and  to  plant  it; 

10  If  it  do  evil  in  my  sight, 
that  it  obey  not  my  voice, 
then  I  wiH  repent  of  the  good, 
wherewith  I  said  I  would  bene- 
fit them. 

11  Now  therefore  go  to, 
speak  to  the  men  of  Ju'dah, 
and  to  the  inhabitants  of  J6- 
ru'sa-lSm,  saying,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Behold,  I  frame  evil 
against  you,  and  devise  a  device 
against  you:  return  ye  now 
every  one  from  his  evil  way, 
and  make  your  ways  and  your 
doings  good. 

12  And  they  said,  There  is 
no  hope:  but  we  will  walk  after 
our  own  devices,  and  we  will 
every  one  do  the  imagination 
of  his  evil  heart 

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Ask  ye  now  among  the 
heathen,  who  hath  heard  such 
things:  the  virgin  of  Is/ra-el 
hath  done  a  very  horrible  thing. 

14  Will  a .  man  leave  the 
snow  of  LeVa-non  which  con* 
eth  from  the  rock  of  the  field  ? 
or  shall  the  cold  flowing  waters 
that  come  from  another  place 
be  forsaken  ? 

15  Because  my  people  hath 
forgotten  me,  they  nave  burned 
incense  to  vanity,  and  they  have 
caused  them  to  stumble  in  their 
vr ays  from  the  ancient  paths,  to 
walk  in  paths,  in  a  way  not  cast 
up; 

16  To  make  their  land  deso- 
late, and  a  perpetual  hissing; 
every  one  that  passeth  thereby 
shall  be  astonished,  and  wag  his 
head. 

17  I  will  scatter  them  as  with 
an  east  wind  before  the  enemy ; 
I  will  shew  them  the  back,  and 
not  the  face,  in  the  day  of  their 
calamity. 

18  %  Then  said  they,  Gome, 
and  let  us  devise  devices  against 
Jer-e-mrah;  for  the  law  shall 


counsel  from  the  wise,  nor  the 
word  from  the  prophet  Come, 
and  let  us  smite  him  with  the 
tongue,  and  let  us  not  give  heed 
to  any  of  his  words. 

19  Give  heed  to  me,  O  Lord, 
and  hearken  to  the  voice  of 
them  that  contend  with  me. 

20  Shall  evil  be  recompensed 
for  good?  for  they  have  digged 
a  pit  for  my  soul.  Remember 
that  I  stood  before  thee  to  speak 
good  for  them,  and  to  turn  away 
thy  wrath  from  them. 

21  Therefore  deliver  up  their 
children  to  the  famine,  and  pour 
out  their  blood  by  the  force  of 
the  sword ;  and  let  their  wives 
be  bereaved  of  their  children, 
and  be  widows;  and  let  their 
men  be  put  to  death ;  let  their 
young  men  be  slain  by  the  sword 
in  battle. 

22  Let  a  cry  be  heard  from 
their  houses,  when  thou  shalt 
bring  a  troop  suddenly  upon 
them:  for  they  have  digged  a 
pit  to  take  me,  and  hid  snares 
for  my  feet 

23  Yet,  Lord,  thou  knowest 
all  their  counsel  against  me  to 
slay  me :  forgive  not  their  in- 
iquity, neither  blot  out  their 
sin  from  thy  sight,  but  let  them 
be  overthrown  before  thee;  deal 
thus  with  them  in  the  time  of 
thine  anger. 

CHAPTER  19

fTIHUS  saith  the  Lord,  Go  and 
JL  get  a  potter's  earthen  bot-

of  the  priests; 

2  And  go  forth  unto  the  val-

the  God  of  Is/ra-el;  Behold,  I 
will  bring  evil  upon  this  place, 
the  which  whosoever  heareth, 
his  ears  shall  tingle. 

4  Because  they  have  forsak-

place,  and  have  burned  incense 
in  it  unto  other  gods,  whom 
neither  they  nor  their  fathers 
have  known,  nor  the  kings  of

with  the  blood  of  innocents ;

commanded  not,  nor  spake  it, 
neither  came  it  into  my  mind : 

6  Therefore,  behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  this 
place  shall  no  more  be  called 
Td'phet,  nor  The  valley  of  the 
son  of  Hin'nom,  but  The  valley 
of  slaughter. 

7  And  I  will  make  void .  the 
counsel  of  Ju'dah  and  J£*u/sa- 
lem  in  this  place;  and  I  will 
cause  them  to  fall  by  the  sword 
before  their  enemies,  and  by 
the  hands  of  them  that  seek 
their  lives:  and  their  carcases 
will  I  give  to  be  meat  for  the 
fowls  of  the  heaven,  and  for 
the  beasts  of  the  earth, 

8  And  I  will  make  this  city 
desolate,  and  an  hissing;  every 
one  that  passeth  thereby  shall 
be  astonished  and  hiss  because 
of  all  the  plagues  thereof. 

9  And  I  will  cause  them  to  eat 
the  flesh  of  their  sons  and  the 
flesh  of  their  daughters,  and 
they  shall  eat  every  one  the 
flesh  of  his  friend  in  the  siege 
and  straitness,  wherewith  their 
enemies,  and  they  that  seek 
their  lives,  shall  straiten  them. 

10  Then  shalt  thou  break  the 
bottle  in  the  sight  of  the  men 
that  go  with  thee, 

11  And  shalt  say  unto  them, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts; 
Even  so  will  I  break  this  people 
and  this  city,  as  one  breaketh  a 
potter's  vessel,  that  cannot  be 
made  whole  again:  and  they 
shall  bury  them  in  Td'phet,  till 
there  be  no  place  to  bury. 

12  Thus  will  I  do  unto  this 
place,  saith  the  Lord,  and  to 
the  inhabitants  thereof,  and 
even  make  this  city  as  Td'phet : 

13  And  the  houses  of  JS-nj's$- 
16m,  and  the  houses  of  the  kings 
of  Ju'dah,  shall  be  defiled  as  the 
place  of  Td'phet,  because  of  all 
the  houses  upon  whose  roofs 
they  have  burned  incense  unto 
all  the  host  of  heaven,  and  have 
poured  out  drink  offerings  unto 
other  gods. 

14  Then  came  JSr-e-mi'ah 
from  Td'phet,  whither  the 
Lord  had  sent  him  to  proph- 
esy; and  he  stood  in  the  court 
of  the  Lord's  house ;  and  said 
to  all  the  people, 

15  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  lfi'ra-el ;  Be- 
hold, I  will  bring  upon  this  city 
and  upon  all  her  towns  all  the 
evil  that  I  have  pronounced 
against  it,  because  they  have 
hardened  their  necks,  that  they 
might  not  hear  my  words. 

CHAPTER  20 
AmAkt,  emitting  JtvwnUth,  receiver  a 


new  name,  and  a  fearful  doom.  7 
Jeremiah  eomptatne  of  contempt, 
treachery,  and  of  hiebtrtk. 

NOW  P&sh'ur  the  son  of  Im'- 
mer  the  priest,  who  was 
also  chief  governor  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  heard  that  Jer-e- 
mi'ah  prophesied  these  things. 

2  Then  Pash'ur  smote  Jer-e- 
mi'ah  the  prophet,  and  put  him 
in  the  stocks  that  were  in  the 
high  gate  of  Ben'ja-min,  which 
was  by  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

3  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  P5sh  ur  brought 
forth  J€r-e-ml'ah  out  of  the 
stocks.  Then  said  Jer-e-mi'ah 
unto  him.  The  Lord  hath  not 
called  thy  name  Pash'ur,  but 
Mfi'gdr-mis'sa-blh. 

4  For  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Behold,  I  will  make  thee  a  ter- 
ror to  thyself,  and  to  all  thy 
friends :  and  they  shall  fall  by 
the  sword  of  their  enemies,  and 
thine  eyes  shall  behold  it :  and 
I  will  give  all  Ju'dah  into  the 
hand  of  the  king  of  B&b'jMon, 
and  he  shall  carry  them  captive 
into  B&b'y-lon,  and  shall  slay 
them  with  the  sword. 

5  Moreover  I  will  deliver  all 
the  strength  of  this  city,  and 
all  the  labours  thereof,  and  all 
the  precious  things  thereof,  and 
all  the  treasures  of  the  kings 
of  Ju'dah  will  I  give  into  the 
hand  of  their  enemies,  which 
shall  spoil  them,  and  take  them, 
and  carry  them  to  Bfib'y-Jon. 

6  And  thou,  Pash'ur,  and  all 
that  dwell  in  thine  house  shall 
go  into  captivity:  and  thou 
shalt  come  to  Bftb'y-lon,  and 
there  thou  shalt  die,  and  shalt 
be  buried  there,  thou,  and  all 
thy  friends,  to  whom  thou  hast 
prophesied  lies. 

7fO  Lord,  thou  hast  de- 
ceived me,  and  I  was  deceived : 
thou  art  stronger  than  I,  and 
hast  prevailed :  I  am  in  derision 
daily,  every  one  mocketh  me. 

8  For  since  I  spake,  I  cried 
out,  I  cried  violence  and  spoil; 
because  the  word  of  the  Lord 
was  made  a  reproach  unto  me, 
and  a  derision,  daily. 

9  Then  I  said,  I  will  not  make 
mention  of  him,  nor  sneak  any 
more  in  his  name.  But  nis  word 
was  in  mine  heart  as  a  burning 
fire  shut  up  in  my  bones,  and! 
was  weary  with  forbearing,  and 
I  could  not  stay. 

10  For  I  heard  the  defaming 
of  many,  fear  on  every  side. 
Report,  say  they,  and  we  will 
report  it  All  my  familiars 
watched  for  my  halting,  say- 
ing, Peradventure  he  will  be

against  him,  and  we  shall  take 
our  revenge  on  him. 

11  But  the  Lord  is  with 
me  as  a  mighty  terrible  one: 
therefore  my  persecutors  shall 
stumble,  and  they  shall  not 
prevail:  they  shall  be  greatly 
ashamed;  for  they  shall  not 

Ge.ii j.  Wicked  Con-  prosper:  their  everlasting  con-

12  But,  0  Lord  of  hosts,  that 
triest  the  righteous,  and  seest 
the  reins  and  the  heart,  let  me 
see  thy  vengeance  on  them:  for 
unto  thee  have  I  opened  my 
cause. 

13  Sing  unto  the  Lord,  praise 
ye  the  Lord:  for  he  hath  de- 
livered the  soul  of  the  poor 
from  the  hand  of  evildoers. 

14  HCursed  be  the  day  where- 
in I  was  born :  let  not  the  day 
wherein  my  mother  bare  me  be 
blessed. 

15  Cursed  be  the  man  who 
brought  tidings  to  my  father, 
saying,  A  man  child  is  born  un- 
to thee;  making  him  very  glad. 

16  And  let  that  man  be  as  the 
cities  which  the  Lord  over- 
threw, and  repented  not:  and 
let  him  hear  the  cry  in  the 
morning,  and  the  shouting  at 
noontide ; 

17  Because  he  slew  me  not 
from  the  womb;  or  that  my 
mother  might  have  been  my 
grave,  and  her  womb  to  be  al- 
ways great  with  me. 

18  Wherefore  came  I  forth 
out  of  the  womb  to  see  labour 
and  sorrow,  that  my  days  should 
be  consumed  with  shame? 

CHAPTER  21 

Zedekiah  enquires  the  event  of  Neb- 
uehadretxar*e  war.  3  A  hard  siege 
foretold. 

FTJHE  word  which  came  unto 
X  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord, 
when  king  Zgd-e-ki'ah  sent  unto 
him  P&sh%r  the  son  of  Mel-chi'- 
ah,  and  Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  son 
of  Mfi-a-ee"iah  the  priest,  saying, 

2  Enquire,  I  pray  thee,  of  the 
Lord  for  us;  for  Nen-tt-chad- 
reVzar  king  of  B&b'jMon  maketh 
war  against  us ;  if  so  be  that  the 
Lord  will  deal  with  us  accord- 
ing to  all  his  wondrous  works, 
that  he  may  go  up  from  us. 

3  tThen  said  Jgr-e-mi'ah  unto 
them,  Thus  shall  ye  say  to  Z£d- 
e-kfah: 

4  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el ;  Behold,  I  will  turn  back 
the  weapons  of  war  that  are  in 
your  hands,  wherewith  ye  fight 
against  the  king  of  Bao'jMon, 
and  against  the  Chfll-de'aha, 
which  besiege  you  without  the 


walls,  and  I  will  assemble  them 
into  the  midst  of  this  city. 

5  And  I  myself  will  fight 
against  youwith  an  outstretched 
hand  and  with  a  strong  arm, 
even  in  anger,  and  in  fury,  and 
in  great  wrath. 

6  And  I  will  smite  the  inhabit- 
ants of  this  city,  both  man  and 
beast :  they  shall  die  of  a  great 
pestilence. 

7  And  afterward,  saith  the 
Lord,  I  will  deliver  Z&Levkfah 
king;  of  Jfi'dah,  and  his  serv- 
ants, and  the  people,  and  such 
as  are  left  in  this  city  from  the 
pestilence,  from  the  sword,  and 
from  the  famine,  into  the  hand 
of  NeD-u-chad-reVtar  king  of 
Bflb'jMon,  and  into  the  hand  of 
their  enemies,  and  into  the 
hand  of  those  that  seek  their 
life:  and  he  shall  smite  them 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword ;  he 
shall  not  spare  them,  neither 
have  pity,  nor  have  mercy. 

&  1TAnd  unto  this  people  thou 
shalt  say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; 
Behold,  I  set  before  you  the  way 
of  life,  and  the  way  of  death. 

9  He  that  abideth  in  this  city 
shall  die  by  the  sword,  and  by 
the  famine,  and  by  the  pesti- 
lence: but  he  that  goeth  out, 
and  falleth  to  the  Chal-de'ana 
that  besiege  you,  he  shall  live, 
and  his  life  shall  be  unto  him 
for  a  prey. 

10  For  I  have  set  my  face 
against  this  city  for  evil,  and 
not  for  good,  saith  the  Lord  : 
it  shall  be  given  into  the  hand 
of  the  king  of  B&b'jMon,  and  he 
shall  burn  it  with  fire. 

11  YAnd  touching  the  house 
of  the  king  of  Jfl'dah,  say,  Hear 
ye  the  word  of  the  Lord  ; 

12  O  house  of  D&'vid,  thus 
saith  the  Lord;  Execute  judg- 
ment in  the  morning,  and  de- 
liver him  that  is  spoiled  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  oppressor,  lest 
my  fury  go  out  like  fire,  and 
burn  that  none  can  quench  it, 
because  of  the  evil  of  your  do- 
ings. 

13  Behold,  I  am  against  thee, 
0  inhabitant  of  the  valley,  and 
rock  of  the  plain,  saith  the 
Lord;  which  say,  Who  shall 
come  down  against  us?  or  who 
shall  enter  into  our  habitations  ? 

14  But  I  will  punish  you  ac- 
cording to  the  fruit  of  your  do- 
ings, saith  the  Lord  :  and  I  will 
kindle  a  fire  in  the  forest  there- 
of, and  it  shall  devour  all  things 
round  about  it

THUS  saith  the  Lord;  Go 
down  to  the  house  of  the 
king  of  Ju'dah,  and  speak  there 
this  word, 

2  And  say,  Hear  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  0  king  of  Ju'dah,  that 
sittest  upon  the  throne  of  DaV 
vid,  thou,  and  thy  servants,  and 
thy  people  that  enter  in  by  these 
gates: 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Exe- 
cute ye  judgment  and  right- 
eousness, and  deliver  the  spoiled 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  oppress- 
or: and  do  no  wrong,  do  no 
violence  to  the  stranger,  the 
fatherless,  nor  the  widow,  nei- 
ther shed  innocent  blood  in  this 
place. 

4  For  if  ye  do  this  thing  in- 
deed,  then  shall  there  enter  in 
bv  the  gates  of  this  house  kings 
sitting  upon  the  throne  of  Da'- 
vid,  riding  in  chariots  and  on 
horses,  he,  and  his  servants, 
and  Ms  people. 

5  But  if  ye  will  not  hear  these 
words,  I  swear  bv  myself,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  this  house  shall 
become  a  desolation. 

6  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  un- 
to the  king's  house  of  Ju'dah; 
Thou  art  Gil'e-ad  unto  me,  and 
the  head  of  LeVa-non:  yet 
surely  I  will  make  thee  a  wil- 
derness, and  cities  which  are 
not  inhabited. 

7  And  I  will  prepare  destroy- 
ers against  thee,  every  one  with 
his  weapons:  and  they  shall 
cut  down  thy  choice  cedars;  and 
cast  them  into  the  fire. 

8  And  many  nations  shall  pass 
by  this  city,  and  they  shall  say 
every  man  to  his  neighbour, 
Wherefore  hath  the  Lord  done 
thus  unto  this  great  city? 

9  Then  they  shall  answer, 
Because  they  have  forsaken 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord  their 
God,  and  worshipped  other  gods, 
and  served  them. 

10  HWeep  ye  not  for  the  dead, 
neither  bemoan  him :  but  weep 
sore  for  him  that  goeth  away 
for  he  shall  return  no  more,  nor 
sde  his  native  country. 

11  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
touching  Shallum  the  son  of 
Jo-si'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  which 
reigned  instead  of  J6-si'ah  his 
father,  which  went  forth  out  of 
this  place;  He  shall  not  return 
thither  any  more : 

12  But  he  shall  die  in  the  place 
whither  they  have  led  him  cap- 
tive, and  shall  see  this  land  no 
more. 

13  Woe  unto  him  that  build- 


eth  his  house  by  unrighteous- 
ness, and  his  chambers  by 
wrong;  that  useth  his  neigh- 
bour's service  without  wages, 
and  giveth  him  not  for  his 
work; 

14  That  saith,  I  will  build  me 
a  wide  house  and  large  cham- 
bers, and  cutteth  him  out  win 
dows;  and  it  is  cieled  with 
cedar,  and  painted  with  ver- 
milion. 

15  Shalt  thou  reign,  because 
thou  closest  thyself  in  cedar? 
did  not  thy  father  eat  and 
drink,  and  do  judgment  and 
justice,  and  then  vt  was  well 
with  him  ? 

16  He  judged  the  cause  of  the 
poor  and  needy;  then  it  was 
well  with  him:  was  not  this 
to  know  me?  saith  the  Lord. 

17  But  thine  eyes  and  thine 
heart  are  not  but  for  thy  cov- 
etousness,  and  for  to  shed  inno- 
cent blood,  and  for  oppression, 
and  for  violence,  to  do  it 

18  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  concerning  JS-hoi'a-klm 
the  son  of  Jo-si'ah  king  of  Ju'- 
dah; They  shall  not  lament  for 
him,  saytng,  Ah  my  brother! 
or.  Ah  sister!  they  shall  not 
lament  for  him,  saying,  Ah 
lord !  or,  Ah  his  glory ! 

19  He  shall  be  buried  with  the 
burial  of  an  ass,  drawn  and  cast 
forth  beyond  the  gates  of  Je- 
ru'sS-lem. 

20  %  Go  up  to  LeVa-non,  and 
cry;  and  lift  up  thy  voice  in 
Ba'shfin,  and  cry  from  the  pas- 
sages: for  all  thy  lovers  are 
destroyed. 

21  I  spake  unto  thee  in  thy 
prosperity;  but  thou  saidst,  I 
will  not  hear.  This  hath  been 
thy  manner  from  thy  youth, 
that  thou  obeyedst  not  my 
voice. 

22  The  wind  shall  eat  up  all 
thy  pastors,  and  thy  lovers  shall 
go  into  captivity:  surely  then 
.shalt  thou  be  ashamed  and  con- 
founded for  all  thy  wickedness. 

23  O  inhabitant  of  LeVa-non, 
that  makest  thy  nest  in  the 
cedars,  how  gracious  shalt  thou 
be  when  pangs  come  upon  thee, 
the  pain  as  of  a  woman  in  trav- 
ail! 

24  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord, 
though  Co-ni'ah  the  son  of  J$- 
hoi'a-klm  king  of  Ju'dah  were 
the  signet  upon  my  right  hand, 
yet  would  I  pluck  thee  thence ; 

25  And  I  will  give  thee  into 
the  hand  of  them  that  seek  thy 
life,  and  into  the  hand  of  them 
whose  face  thou  fearest,  even 
into  the  hand  of  N5b-u-cha«H2

were  not  born;  and  there  shall 
ye  die.

shall  prosper,  sitting  upon  the

CHAPTER  23 

Jeremiah  prophesies  a  restoration 
of  the  scattered  flock.  5  Christ 
promised.  9  Against  fids*  proph- 
ets. 

WOE  be  unto  the  pastors 
that  destroy  and  scatter 
the  sheep  of  my  pasture!  saith 
the  Lord. 

2  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  ts/ra-el  against  the 
pastors  that  feed  my  people; 
Ye  have  scattered  my  flock,  and 
driven  them  away,  and  have 
not  visited  them:  behold,  I  will 
visit  upon  you  the  evil  of  your 
doings,  saith  the  Lord. 

3  And  I  will  gather  the  rem- 
nant of  my  flock  out  of  all 
countries  whither  I  have  driven 
them,  and  will  bring  them 
again  to  their  folds;  and  they 
shall  be  fruitful  and  increase. 

4  And  I  will  set  up  shepherds 
over  them  which  shall  feed 
them:  and  they  shall  fear  no 
more,  nor  be  dismayed,  neither 
shall  they  be  lacking,  saith  the 
Lord. 

5  Behold,  the  days  come,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  I  will  raise  unto 
Da'vid  a  righteous  Branch,  and 
a  King  shall  reign  and  prosper, 
and  shall  execute  judgment  and 
justice  in  the  earth. 

6  In  his  days  Ju'dah  shall  be 
saved,  and  Ig'ra-el  shall  dwell 
safely:  and  this  is  his  name 
whereby  he  shall  be  called, 
THE  LORD  OUR  RIGHT- 
EOUSNESS. 

7  Therefore,  behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  they 
shall  no  more  say,  The  Lord 
liveth,  which  brought  up  the 


children  of  Is/ra-el  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gjrpt; 

8  But,  The  Lord  liveth,  which 
brought  up  and  which  led  the 
seed  of  the  house  of  Is/ra-el 
out  of  the  north  country,  and 
from  all  countries  whither  I  had 
driven  them;  and  they  shall 
dwell  in  their  own  land. 

9  UMine  heart  within  me  is 
broken  because  of  the  proph- 
ets; all  my  bones  shake;  I  am 
like  a  drunken  man,  and  like  a 
man  whom  wine  hath  overcome, 
because  of  the  Lord,  and  be- 
cause of  the  words  of  his  hob* 
ness. 

10  For  the  land  is  full  of  adul- 
terers; for  because  of  swear- 
ing the  land  mourneth;  the 
pleasant  places  of  the  wilder- 
ness are  dried  up,  and  their 
course  is  evil,  and  their  force  is 
not  right 

11  For  both  prophet  and 
priest  are  profane ;  yea,  in  my 
house  have  I  found  their  wick- 
edness, saith  the  Lord; 

12  Wherefore  their  way  shall 
be  unto  them  as  slippery  ways 
in  the  darkness :  they  shall  be 
driven  on,- and  fall  therein:  for 
I  will  bring  evil  upon  them, 
even  the  year  of  their  visita- 
tion, saith  the  Lord. 

13  And  I  have  seen  folly  in 
the  prophets  of  Sa-ma'ri-a;  they 
prophesied  in  Ba'al,  and  caused 
my  people  Ig'ra-el  to  err. 

14  I  have  seen  also  in  the 
prophets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  an  hor- 
rible thing:  they  commit  adul- 
tery, and  walk  in  lies:  they 
strengthen  also  the  hands  of 
evildoers,  that  none  doth  re- 
turn from  his  wickedness :  they 
are  all  of  them  unto  me  as 
Sdd'om,  and  the  inhabitants 
thereof  as  Gfl-mflr'rah. 

15  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts  concerning  the 
prophets;  Behold,  I  will  feed 
them  with  wormwood,  and 
make  them  drink  the  water  of 

^11 :  for  from  the  prophets  of 
_  frru/sS-tem  is  prof  aneness  gone 
forth  into  all  the  land. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  Hearken  not  unto  the 
words  of  the  prophets  that 
prophesy  unto  you :  they  make 
you  vain:  they  speak  a  vision 
of  their  own  heart,  and  not  out 
of  the  mouth  of  the  Lord. 

17  They  say  still  unto  them 
that  despise  me,  The  Lord  hath 
said,  Ye  .shall  have  peace;  and 
they  say  unto  every  one  that 
walketh  after  the  imagination 
of  his  own  heart,  No  evil  shall 
come  upon  you.

18  For  who  hath  stood  in  the 
counsel  of  the  Lord,  and  hath 
perceived  and  heard  his  word  ? 
who  hath  marked  his  word,  and 
heard  it  f 

19  Behold,  a  whirlwind  of  the 
Lord  is  gone  forth  in  fury,  even 
a  grievous  whirlwind:  it  shall 
fall  grievously  upon  the  head  of 
the  wicked. 

20  The  anger  of  the  Lord 
shall  not  return,  until  he  have 
executed,  and  till  he  have  per- 
formed the  thoughts  of  his 
heart :  in  the  latter  days  ye  shall 
consider  it  perfectly: 

21  I  have  not  sent  these 
prophets,  yet  they  ran :  I  have 
not  spoken  to  them,  yet  they 
prophesied. 

22  But  if  thev  had  stood  in 
my  counsel,  and  had  caused  my 
people  to  hear  my  words,  then 
they  should  have  turned  them 
from  their  evil  way,  and  from 
the  evil  of  their  doings. 

23  Am  I  a  God  at  hand,  saith 
the  Lord,  and  not  a  God  afar 
off? 

24  Can  any  hide  himself  in 
secret  places  that  I  shall  not 
see  him?  saith  the  Lord.  Do 
not  I  till  heaven  and  earth? 
saith  the  Lord. 

25  I  have  heard  what  the 
prophets  said,  that  prophesy 
iies  in  my  name,  saying,  I  have 
dreamed,  I  have  dreamed 

26  How  long  shall  this  be  in 
the  heart  of  the  prophets  that 
prophesy  lies?  yea,  they  are 
prophets  of  the  deceit  of  their 
own  heart ; 

27  Which  think  to  cause  my 
people  to  forget  my  name  by 
their  dreams  which  they  tell 
every  man  to  his  neighbour,  as 
their  fathers  have  forgotten  my 
name  for  Ba'aL 

28  The  prophet  that  hath  a 
dream,  let  him  tell  a  dream; 
and  he  that  hath  my  word,  let 
him  speak  my  word  faithfully. 
What  is  the  chaff  to  the  wheat  ? 
saith  the  Lord. 

29  Is  not  my  word  like  as  a 
fire?  saith  the  Lord;  and  like 
a  hammer  that  breaketh  the 
rock  in  pieces? 

30  Therefore,  behold,  I  am 
against  the  prophets,  saith  the 
Lord,  that  steal  my  words  every 
one  from  his  neighbour. 

31  Behold,  I  am  against  the 
prophets,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
use  their  tongues,  and  say,  He 
saith. 

32  Behold,  I  am  against 
them  that  prophesy  false 
dreams,  saith  the  Lord,  and  do 
tell  them,  and  cause  my  people 


to  err  by  their  lies,  and  by  their 
lightness;  yet  I  sent  them  not, 
nor  commanded  them:  there- 
fore they  shall  not  profit  this 
people  at  all,  saith  the  Lord. 

33  IFAnd  when  •  this  people, 
or  the  prophet,  or  a  priest,  shall 
ask  thee,  saying,  What  is  the 
burden  of  the  Lord  ?  thou  shalt 
then  say  unto  them,  What  bur* 
den  ?  1  will  even  forsake  yon, 
saith  the  Lord. 

34  And  as  for  the  prophet, 
and  the  priest,  and  the  people, 
that  shall  say,  The  burden  of 
the  Lord,  I  will  even  punish 
that  man  and  his  house;  / 

35  Thus  shall  ye  say' every 
one  to  his  neighbour,  -and  every 
one  to  his  brother.  What,  hath 
the  Lord  answered  ?  and,  What 
hath  the  Lord  spoken? 

36  And  the  burden  of  the 
Lord  shall  ye  mention  no  more 
for  every  man's  word  shall  be 
his  burden;  for  ye  have  ner« 
verted  the  words  of  the  living 
God,  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  our 
God. 

37  Thus  shalt  thou  say  to  the 
prophet,  What  hath  the  Lord 
answered  thee?  and,  What  hath 
the  Lord  spoken? 

38  But  since  ye  say,  The  bur- 
den of  the  Lord  ;  therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord  ;  Because  ye  say 
this  word.  The  burden  of  the 
Lord,  and  I  have  sent  unto  you, 
saying,  Ye  shall  not  say,  The 
burden  of  the  Lord  ; 

39  Therefore,  behold,  I,  even 
I,  will  utterly  forget  vou,  and  I 
will  forsake  yon,  ana  the  city 
that  I  gave  you  and  your  fathers, 
and  east  you  out  of  my  pres- 
ence: 

40  And  I  will  bring  an  ever- 
lasting reproach  upon  vou,  and 
a  perpetual  shame,  which  shall 
not  be  forgotten. 

CHAPTER  24 

By  Stood  and  bad  figs,  4  the  prophet 
foreshews  the restoration  from  cap- 
tivity, 8  and  the  desolation  of  Zed- 
ekiah  and  the  residue  of  Jerusalem. 

THE  Lord  shewed  me,  and, 
behold,  two  baskets  of  f  _ 
were  set  before  the  temple  of 
the  Lord,  after  that  Neb-u- 
chad-reVzar  king  of  Bao'jMon 
had  carried  away  captive  Jec-o-

king-  of  Ju'dah,  and  the  princes 
of  Ju'dah,  with  the  carpenters 
and  smiths,  from  J§-ru  sa-Jem, 
and  had  brought  them  to  Bib'?

first  ripe:  and  the  other  basket 
had  very  naughty  figs,  which

could  not  be  eaten,  they  were 
so  bod. 

3  Then  said  the  Lord  unto 
me,  What  seest  thou,  Jer-e- 
mrair?  And  I  said,  Figs;  the 
good  figs,  very  good;  and  the 
evil,  very  evil,  that  cannot  he 
eaten,  they  are  so  evil. 

4  IT  Again  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  'saying/ 

5  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  ls'ra-el ;  Like  these  good 
figs,  96  will  I  acknowledge  them 
that  are  carried  away  captive 
of  Ja'dah,  whom  I  have  -sent 
out  of  this  place  into  the  land 
of  the  Chfil-d?ang  for  their 
good. 

6  For  I  will  set  mine  eyes  up- 
on them  for  good,  and  I  will 
bring  them  again  to  this  land : 
andl  will  build  them,  and  not 
pull  them  down;  and  I  will 
plant  them,  and  not  pluck  them 
up. 

7  And  I  will  give  them  an 
heart  to  know  me,  that  I  am 
the  Lord:  and  they  shall  be 
my  people,  and  I  will  be  their 
God :  for  they  shall  return  un- 
to me  with  their  whole  heart . 

8  If  And  as  the  evil  figs,  which 
cannot  be  eaten,  they  are  so 
evil;  surely  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  So  will  I  give  Z6d-e-ki'ah 
the  king  of  JQ'dah,  and  his 
princes,  and  the  residue  of  J8- 
ru'sfl-lgm,  that  remain  in  this 
land,  and  them  that  dwell  in 
the  land  of  B'flffpt : 

9  And  I  will  deliver  them  to 
be  removed  into  all  the  king- 
doms of  the  earth  for  thevr 
hurt,  to  be  a.  reproach  and  a 
proverb,  a  taunt  and  a  curse, 
in  all  places  whither  I  shall 
drive  them. 

10  And  I  will  send  the  sword, 
the  famine,  and  the  pestilence, 
among  them,  till  they ne  con 
sumed  from  off  the  land  that  I 
gave  unto  them  and  to  their 
fathers. 

CHAPTER  25 

Jeremiah  foretells  the  seventy  years' 
captivity,  12  -and  the  succeeding 
destruction  of  Babylon. 

rTtHE  word  that  came  to  JSr-e- 
JL  mi'ah  concerning  all  the 
people  of  JQ'dah  in  the  fourth 
year  of  J£-hoi'a-kSm  the  son  of 
J»>si'ah  king  of  JQ'dah*  that 
was  the  first  year  of  NSb-u- 
chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bdb'jMon; 

2  The  which  Jer-e-mi'ah  the 
prophet  spake  unto  all  the  peo- 
ple of  JQ'dah,  and  to  all  the 
inhabitants  of  J&ru'sa-lem,  say- 
ing, 

3  From  the  thirteenth  year  of 
Jd-stfah  the  son  of  A'mon  king 


of  JQ'dah,  even  unto  this  day, 
that  ia  the  three  and  twentieth 
year,  the  word  of  the  Lord  hath 
come  unto  me,  and  I  have  spo- 
ken unto  you,  rising  early  and 
speaking;  but  ye  have  not 
hearkened. 

4  And  the  Lord  hath  sent 
unto  you  all  his  servants  the 
prophets,  rising  early  and  send* 
mg  them;  but  ye  have  not 
hearkened,  nor  inclined  your 
ear  to  hear. 

5  They  said,  Turn  ye  again 
now  every  one  from  his  evil 
way,  and  from  the  evil  of  your 
doings,  and  dwell  in  the  land 
that  the  Lord  hath  given  unto 
you  and  to  your  fathers  for  ever 
and  ever: 

6  And  go  not  after  other  gods 
to  serve  them,  and  to  worship 
them,  and  provoke  me  not  to 
anger  with  the  works  of  your 
hands;  and  I  will  do  you  no 
hurt 

7  Yet  ye  have  not  hearkened 
unto  me,  saith  the  Lord  ;  that 
ye  might  provoke  me  to  anger 
with  the  works  of  your  hands 
to  your  own  hurt 

8  IT  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts;  Because  ye  have 
not  heard  my  words, 

9  Behold,  1  will  send  and  take 
all  the  families  of  the  north, 
saith  the  Lord,  and  N€b-u«chad- 
rfa'zar  the  king  of  BaVjMon, 
my  servant  and  will  bring  them 
against  this  land,  and  against 
the  inhabitants  thereof,  and 
against  all  these  nations  round 
about,  and  will  utterly  destroy 
them,  and  make  them  an  aston- 
ishment, and  an  hissing,  and 
perpetual  desolations. 

10  Moreover  I  will  take  from 
them  the  voice  of  mirth,  and 
the  voice  of  gladness,  the  voice 
of  the  bridegroom,  and  the 
voice  of  the  bride,  the  sound 
of  the  millstones,  and  the  light 
of  the  candle. 

11  And  this  whole  land  shall 
be  a  desolation,  and  an  aston- 
ishment; and  these  nations 
shall  serve  the  king  of  Bab'y- 
lon  seventy  years. 

12  1  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  seventy  years  are  accom- 
plished, that  I  will  punish  the 
king  of  Bfib'jMon,  and  that  na- 
tion, saith  the  Lord,  for  their 
iniquity,  and  the  land  of  the 
Ch&l-de'ang,  and  will  make  it 
perpetual  desolations. 

13  And  I  will  bring  upon  that 
land  all  my  words  which  I  have 
pronounced  against  it,  even  all 
that  is  written  in  this  book, 
which  Jer-e-xnl'ah  hath  proph-

esied  against  all  the  nations. 

14  For  many  nations  and  great 
kings  shall  serve  themselves  of 
them  also:  and  I  will  recom- 
pense them  according  to  their 
deeds,  and  according  to  the 
works  of  their  own  hands. 

15  IF  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Ig'ra-elunto  me;  Take 
the  wine  cup  of  this  fury  at 
my  hand,  and  cause  all  the  na- 
tions, to  whom  I  send  thee,  to 
drink  it 

16  And  they  shall  drink,  and 
he  moved,  and  he  mad,  because 
of  the  sword  that  I  will  send 
among  them. 

.  17  Then  took  I  the  cup  at  the 
Lord's  hand,  and  made  all  the 
nations  to  drink,  unto  whom 
the  Lord  had  sent  me: 

18  To  wit,  Je^ru'saVlem,  and 
the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  the 
kings  thereof,  and  the  princes 
thereof,  to  make  them  a  desola- 
tion, an  astonishment,  an  hiss- 
ing, and  a  curse;  as  it  is  this 
day; 

19  Ph&'radh  king  of  B'gypt, 
and  his  servants,  and  his  prin- 
ces, and  all  his  people; 

20  And  all  the  mingled  peo- 

{>le,  and. all  the  kings. of  the 
and  of  Cz,  and  all  the  kings  of 
the  land  of  the  Phi-lis'tinea,  and 
Ashlce-ldn,  and  AVsah,  and  Ek'- 
rdn,  and  the  remnant  of  Ash'- 
ddd, 

21  E'dom,  and  MS'ab,  and  the 
children  of  Am'mdn, 

22  And  all  the  kings  of  Ty- 
ros, and  all  the  kings  of  Zi'ddn, 
and  the  kings  of  the  isles  which 
are  beyond  the  sea, 

23  De'dan,  and  Te'ma,  and 
Buz,  and  all  that  are  in  the  ut- 
most corners, 

24  And  all  the  kings  of  A-ra'- 
hi-a,  and  all  the  kings  of  the 
mingled  people  that  dwell  in 
the  desert, 

25  And  all  the  kings  of  Zim'ri, 
and  all  the  kings  of  ISlftm,  and 
all  the  kings  of  the  MSdeg, 

26  And  all  the  kings  of  the 
north,  far  and  near,  one  with 
another,  and  all  the  kingdoms 
of  the  world,  which  are  upon 
the  face  of  the  earth :  and  the 
king  of  She'shach  shall  drink 
after  them. 

27  Therefore  thou  shalt  say 
unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  lg'ra-el; 
Drink  ye,  and  be  drunken,  and 
spue,  and  fall,  and  rise  no  more, 
because  of  the  sword  which  I 
will  send  among  you. 

28  And  it  shall  be,  if  they  re- 
fuse to  take  the  cup  at  thine 
hand  to  drink,  then  shalt  thou 


say  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts ;  Ye  shall  certain- 
ly drink. 

29  For,  lo,  I  begin  to  bring 
evil  on  the  city  which  is  called 
by  mv  name,  and  should  ye  be 
utterly  unpunished?  Ye  shall 
not  be  unpunished:  for  I  will 
call  for  a  sword  upon  all  the  in- 
habitants of  the  earth,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts. 

30  Therefore  prophesy  thou 
against  them  all  these  words, 
and  say  unto  them,  The  Lord 
shall  roar  from  on  high,  and 
utter  his  voice  from  his  holy 
habitation;  he  shall  mightily 
roar  upon  his  habitation;  he 
shall  give  a  shout,  as  they  that 
tread  the  grapes,  against  all 
the  inhabitants  of  the  earth. 

31  A  noise  shall  come  even  to 
the  ends  of  the  earth;  for  the 
Lord  hath  a  controversy  with 
the  nations,  he  will  plead  with 
all  flesh;  he  will  give  them 
that  are  wicked  to  the  sword, 
saith  the  Lord. 

32  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  Behold,  evil  shall  go  forth 
from  nation  to  nation,  and  a 
great  whirlwind  shall  be  raised 
up  from  the  coasts  of  the  earth. 

33  And  the  slain  of  the  Lord 
shall  be  at  that  day  from  one 
end  of  the  earth  even  unto  the 
other  end  of  the  earth:  they 
shall  not  be  lamented,  neither 
gathered,  nor  buried ;  they  shall 
be  dung  upon  the  ground. 

34  IT  Howl,  ve  shepherds,  and 
cry;  and  wallow  yourselves  in 
the  ashes,  ye  principal  of  the 
flock:  for  the  days  of  your 
slaughter  and  of  your  disper- 
sions are  accomplished;  ana  ye 
shall  fall  like  a  pleasant  vessel. 

35  And  the  shepherds  shall 
have  no  way  to  nee,  nor  the 
principal  of  the  flock  to  escape. 

36  A  voice  of  the  cry  of  the 
shepherds,  and  an  howling  of 
the  principal  of  the  flock,  shall 
be  heard:  for  the  Lord  hath 
spoiled  their  pasture. 

37  And  the  peaceable  habita- 
tions are  cut  down  because  of 
the  fierce  anger  of  the  Lord. 

38  He  hath  forsaken  his  cov- 
ert, as  the  lion :  for  their  land 
is  desolate  because  of  the  fierce- 
ness of  the  oppressor,  and  be- 
cause of  his  fierce  anger.

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Stand 
in  the  court  of  the  Lord's  house, 
and  speak  unto  all  the  cities  of 
Ju'dah,  which  come  to  worship 
in  the  Lord's  house,  all  the 
words  that  I  command  thee  to 
speak  unto  them ;  diminish  not 
a  word: 

3  If  so  he  they  will  hearken, 
and  turn  every  man  from  his 
evil  way,  that  I  may  repent  me 
of  the  evil,  which  I  purpose  to 
do  unto  them  because  of  the 
evil  of  their  doings. 

4  And  thou  shalt  say  unto 
them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  If 
ye  will  not  hearken  to  me,  to 
walk  in  my  law,  which  I  have 
set  before  you, 

5  To  hearken  to  the  words  of 
my  servants  the  prophets,  whom 
I  sent  unto  you,  both  rising  up 
early,  and  sending  them,  but  ye 
have  not  hearkened ; 

6  Then  will  I  make  this  house 
like  Shil6h,  and  will  make  this 
city  a  curse  to  all  the  nations  of 
the  earth. 

7  So  the  priests  and  the  proph- 
ets and  all  the  people  heard  Jer- 
e-mi'ah  speaking  these  words  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

8  ITNow  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Jer-e-mi'ah  had  made  an  end  of 
speaking  all  that  the  Lord  had 
commanded  him  to  speak  unto 
all  the  people,  that  the  priests 
and  the  prophets  and  all  the 
people  took  him,  saying,  Thou 
shalt  surely  die. 

9  Why  hast  thou  prophesied 
in  the  name  of  the  Lord,  say- 
ing, This  house  shall  be  like 
Shildh,  and  this  city  shall  be 
desolate  without  an  inhabitant  ? 
And  all  the  people  were  gath- 
ered against  Jer-e-mi'ah  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

10  1  When  the  princes  of  Ju'- 
dah heard  these  things,  then 
they  came  up  from  the  king's 
house  unto  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  sat  down  in  the  entry 
of  the  new  gate  of  the  Lord's 
house. 

11  Then  spake  the  priests  and 
the  prophets  unto  the  princes 
and  to  all  the  people,  saying, 
This  man  is  worthy  to  die ;  for 
he  hath  prophesied  against  this 
city,  as  ye  have  heard  with  your 
ears. 

12  ITThen  spake  Jer-e-mi'ah  un 
to  all  the  pnnces  and  to  all  the 
people,  saying,  The  Lord  sent 
me  to  prophesy  against  this 
house  and  against  this  city  all 
the  words  that  ye  have  heard. 

13  Therefore  now  amend  your 
ways  and  your  doings;  and  obey 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  your  God ; 


and  the  Lord  will  repent  him 
of  the  evil  that  he  hath,  pro- 
nounced against  you. 

14  As  for  me,  behold,  I  am  in 
your  hand:  do  with  me  as  seem- 
eth  good  and  meet  unto  you. 

15  But  know  ye  for  certain, 
that  if  ye  put  me  to  death,  ye 
shall  surely  oringinnocent  blood 
upon  yourselves,  and  upon  this 
city,  and  upon  the  inhabitants 
thereof :  for  of  a  truth  the  Lord 
hath  sent  me  unto  you  to  speak 
all  these  words  in  your  ears. 

16  fThen  said  the  princes  and 
all-  the  people  unto  the  priests 
and  to.  the  prophets  ;•  This  man 
is  not  worthy  to  die:  for  he 
hath  spoken  to  us  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord  our  God. 

17  Then  rose  up  certain  of  the 
elders  of  the  land,  and  spake  to 
all  the  assembly  of  the  people, 
saying, 

18  MTcah  the  Mo'ras-thite 
prophesied  in  the  days  of  Hez- 
e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  spake 
to  all  the  people  of  Ju'dah,  say- 
ing, Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts;  Zi'6n  shall  be  plowed 
like  a  field,  and  Je-ru'sa-lem 
shall  become  heaps,  and  the 
mountain  of  the  house  as  the 
high  places  of  a  forest 

19  Did  Hez^-ki'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah  and  all  Ju'dah  put  him 
at  all  to  death?  did  he  not 
fear  the  Lord,  and  besought 
the  Lord,  and  the  Lord  repent- 
ed him  of  the  evil  which  he 
had  pronounced  against  them  ? 
Thus  might  we  procure  great 
evil  against  our  souls. 

20  And  there  was  also  a  man 
that  prophesied  in  the  name  of 
the  Lord,  U-ri'jah  the  son  of 
Shem-a-f  ah  of  Kir'jath-je'a-rim, 
who  prophesied  against  this  city 
and  against  this  land  according 
to  all  the  words  of  Jgr-e-mi'ah : 

21  And  when  Je-hoi'a-kim  the 
king,  with  all  his  mighty  men, 
and  all  the  princes,  heard  his 
words,  the  king  sought  to  put 
him  to  death:  but  when  U-rf 
jah  heard  it,  he  was  afraid,  and 
fled,  and  went  into  Cgjrpt ; 

22  And  Je-hoi'a-klm  the  king 
sent  men  into  E'gypt,  namely, 
El'na-than  the  son  of  Ach/b6r, 
and  certain  men  with  him  into 

23  And  they  fetched  forth 
U-ri'jah  out  of  E'gypt,  and 
brought  him  unto  Je-hoi'a-kim 
the  king;  who  slew  him  with 
the  sword,  and  cast  his  dead 
body  into  the  graves  of  the 
common  people.

CHAPTER  27 

Under  the  type  of  bond*  and  yoke*, 
Jeremiah  prophesies  the  subjection 
of  the  kinoe  unto  Nebuehadnemar. 
8  He  exhorts  them  to  yield. 

IN  the  beginning  of  the  reign 
of  Jd-hoi'a-kim  the  son  of 
J5-si'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  came 
this  word  unto  Jgr-exni'ah  torn 
the  Lord,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  to  me ; 
Make  thee  bonds  and  yokes,  and 
put  them  upon  thy  neck, 

3  And  send  them  to  the  king 
of  EMom,  and  to  the  king  of 
Mo'ab,  and  to  the  king  of  the 
Am'mon-Ites,  and  to  the  king 
of  Tyrus,  and  to  the  king  of 
Zl'ddn,  by  the  hand  of  the  mes- 
sengers which  come  to  J6-rur 
sfi-Rm  unto  Zgd-e-ki'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah; 

4  And  command  them  to  say 
unto  their  masters,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el ;  Thus  shall  ye  say  unto 
your  masters; 

5  I  have  made  the  earth,  the 
man  and  the  beast  that  are  up- 
on the  ground,  by  my  great 
power  and  by  my  outstretched 
arm,  and  hare  given  it  unto 
whom  it  seemed  meet  unto  me. 

6  And  now  have  I  given  all 
these  lands  into  the  hand  of 
Ngb-u-chad-neVzar  the  king  of 
B&b'jMon,  my  servant;  and  the 
beasts  of  the  field  have  I  given 
him  also  to  serve  him. 

7  And  all  nations  shall  serve 
him,  and  his  son,  and  his  son's 
son,  until  the  very  time  of  his 
land  come :  and  then  many  na- 
tions and  great  kings  shall  serve 
themselves  of  him. 

8  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  the  nation  and  kingdom 
which  will  not  serve  the  same 
NEb-u-chad-nSz'zar  the  king  of 
Bfib'y-lon,  and  that  will  not  put 
their  neck  under  the  yoke  of 
the  king  of  Bfib'J-lon,  that  na- 
tion will  I  punish,  saith  the 
Lord,  with  the  sword,  and  with 
the  famine,  and  with  the  pesti- 
lence, until  I  have  consumed 
them  by  his  hand. 

9  Therefore  hearken  not  ye  to 
your  prophets,  nor  to  your  di- 
viners, nor  to  your  dreamers, 
nor  to  your  enchanters,  nor  to 
your  sorcerers,  which  speak  un- 
to you,  saving,  Ye  shall  not 
serve  the  king  of  BaVy-lon : 

10  For  they  prophesy  a  lie  un- 
to you,  to  remove  you  far  from 
your  land;  and  that  I  should 


drive  you  out,  and  ye  should 
perish. 

11  But  the  nations  that  bring 
their  neck  under  the  yoke  of 
the  king  of  Bib'jr-lon,  and  serve 
him,  those  will  I  let  remain  still 
in  their  own  land,  saith  the 
Lord;  and  they  shall  till  it, 
and  dwell  therein. 

12  HI  spake  also  toZeoSe-ki'ah 
king  of  Ju'dah  according  to  all 
these  words,  saving,  Bring  your 
necks  under  the  yoke  of  the 
king  of  BSb'jMon,  and  serve 
him  and  his  people,  and  live. 

13  Why  will  ye  die,  thou  and 
thy  people,  by  the  sword,  bv 
the  famine,  and  by  the  pesti- 
lence, as  the  Lord  hath  spoken 
against  the  nation  that  will  not 
serve  the  king  of  B&b'jMon  ? 

14  Therefore  hearken  not  un- 
to the  words  of  the*  prophets 
that  speak  unto  you,  saying,  Ye 
shall  not  serve  the  king  of  B&b'- 
jMon :  for  they  prophesy  a  lie 
untoyou. 

15  For  I  have  not  sent  them, 
saith  the  Lord,  yet  they  proph- 
esy a  lie  in  my  name;  that  I 
might  drive  you  out,  and  that 
ye  might  perish,  ye,  and  the 
prophets  that  prophesy  unto 
you. 

16  Also  I  spake  to  the  priests 
and  to  all  this  people,  saying, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Hearken 
not  to  the  words  of  your  proph- 
ets that  prophesy  unto  you, 
saying,  Behold,  the  vessels  of 
the  Lord's  house  shall  now 
shortly  be  brought  again  from 
B&b'jMon :  for  they  prophesy  a 
lie  unto  you. 

17  Hearken  not  unto  them; 
serve  the  king  of  B&b'y-lon,  and 
live:  wherefore  should  this  city 
belaid  waste? 

18  But  if  they  be  prophets, 
and  if  the  word  of  the  Lord  be 
with  them,  let  them  now  make 
intercession  to  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  that  the  vessels  which 
are  left  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  in  the  house  of  the 
king  of  J&'dah,  and  at  Jg-ru'sS- 
lem,  go  not  to  BSb'jr-lon. 

19  f  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts  concerning  the  pillars, 
and  concerning  the  sea,  and 
concerning  the  bases,  and  con- 
cerning the  residue  of  the  ves- 
sels that  remain  in  this  city, 

20  Which  Neo-u-chad-neYsar 
king  of  Bab'y-lon  took  not, 
when  he  carried  away  captive 
Jec-o-ni'ah  the  son  of  JS-hoi'a- 
klm  king  of  Ju'dah  from  JS-ru/- 
s£-lem  to  B&b'V-lon,  and  all  the 
nobles  of  Ju'dah  and  J£-ru'sfi- 
lem;

break*  Jeremiah's  yoke.  12  Jere-

and  Hananiah's  deaths 

AND  it  came  to  pass  the 
same  year,  in  the  begin- 
ning of  the  reign  of  Z€d-e-ki'ah 
king  of  Ju'dah,  in  the  fourth 
year,  and  in  the  fifth  month, 
that  Han-a-ni'ah  the  son  of 
A'zur  the  prophet,  which  was 
of  ftib'e-on,  spake  unto  me  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  in  the 
presence  of  the  priests  and  of 
all  the  people,  saying,     v 

2  Thus,  speaketh  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  l&'ra-el,  say- 
ing, jL  have  broken  the  yoke  of 
the  king  of  Bib'y-lon. 

3  Within  two  full  years  will  I 
bring  again  into  this  place  all 
the  vessels  of  the  Lord's  house, 
that  N£b-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of 
BaVjMon.took  away  from  this 
place,  and  carried  them  to  Bib' 
y-lon : 

4  And  I  will  bring  again  to 
this  place  JSoo-ni'ah  the  son  of 
Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of  Ju'dah, 
with  all  the  captives  of  Ju'dah, 
that  went  into  B&b'y-lon,  saith 
the  Lord  ;  for  I  will  break  the 
yoke  of  the  king  of  BSb'y-lon. 

5  II  Then  the  prophet  Jer-e- 
mi'ah  said  unto  the  prophet 
Han-a-ni'ah  in  the  presence  of 
the  priests,  and  in  the  presence 
of  all  the  people  that  stood  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord, 

6  Even  the  prophet  Jer-e-mi'- 
ah  said,  A-meV:  the  Lord  do 
so :  the  Lord  perform  thy  words 
which  thou  hast  prophesied,  to 
bring  again  the  vessels  of  the 
Lord's  house,  and  all  that  is 
carried  away  captive,  from  BaV 
y-lon  into  this  place, 

7  Nevertheless  hear  thou  now 
this  word  that  I  speak  in  thine 
ears,  and  in  the  ears  of  all  the 
people; 

8  The  prophets  that  have  been 
before  me  and  before  thee  of  old 
prophesied  both  against  many 
countries,  and  against  great 
kingdoms,  of  war,  and  of  evil, 
and  of  pestilence. 

9  The  prophet  which  proph- 


esieth  of  peace,  when  the  word 
of  the  prophet  shall  come  to 
pass,  then  shall  the  prophet  be 
known,  that  the  Lord  hath 
truly  sent  him. 

10  U  Then  Han-a-ni'ah  the 
prophet  took  the  yoke  from  off 
the  prophet  Jer-e-mi'ah'*  neck, 
and  brake  it 

11  And  Han-a-ni'ah  spake  in 
the  presence  of  all  the  people, 
saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Even  so  will  I  break  the  yoke 
of  N£b-u-chad-n£z'zar  king  of 
B&b'y-lon  from  the  neck  of  all 
nations  within  the  space  of  two 
full  years.  And  the  prophet 
Jer-e-mi'ah  went  his  way. 

12  If  Then  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  the 
prophet,  after  that  Han-a-ni'ah 
the  prophet  had  broken  the 
yoke  from  off  the  neck  of  the 
prophet  Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying, 

13  Go  and  tell  Han-a-ni'ah, 
saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Thou  hast  broken  the  yokes  of 
wood ;  but  thou  shalt  make  for 
them  yokes  of  iron. 

14  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  I&'ra-el;  I 
have  put  a  yoke  of  iron  upon 
the  neck  of  all  these  nations, 
that  they  may  serve  NSb-u- 
chad-ncz'zar  king  of  Bab  y-lon ; 
and  they  shall  serve  him:  and 
I  have  given  him  the  beasts  of 
the  field  also. 

15  IT  Then  said  the  prophet 
Jer-e-mi'ah  unto  Haji-a-ni'ah  the 
prophet.  Hear  now,  Han-a-ni'ah ; 
The  Lord  hath  not  sent  thee; 
but  thou  makest  this  people  to 
trust  in  a  lie. 

16  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Behold,  I  will  cast  thee 
from  off  the  face  of  the  earth: 
this  year  thou  shalt  die,  be- 
cause thou  hast  taught  rebel- 
lion against  the  Lord. 

17  So  Han-a-ni'ah  the  prophet 
died  the  same  year  in  the 
seventh  month.

3  £y  the  hand  "of  fil'a-sah 
the  son  of  Shft'phan,  and  G€m- 
a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Hil-ki'ah, 
(whom  ZSd-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'- 
dah  sent  unto  Bfib'y-lon  to  N£h- 
u-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bfib'y- 
Ion)  saying, 

4  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  h'ra-el,  unto 
all  that  are  carried  away  cap- 
tives, whom  I  have  caused  to  be 
carried  away  from  Je-ru'sH-lem 
unto  Bfib'jMon ; 

5  Build  ye  houses,  and  dwell 
in  them;  and  plant  gardens, 
and  eat  the  fruit  of  them ; 

6  Take  ye  wives,  and  beget 
sons  and  daughters;  and  take 
wives  for  vour  sons,  and  give 
your  daughters  to  husbands, 
that  they  may  bear  sons  and 
daughters ;  that  ye  may  be  in 
creased  there,  and  not  dimin- 
ished. 

7  And  seek  the  peace  of  the 
city  whither  I  have  caused  you 
to  be  carried  away  captives, 
and  pray  unto  the  Lord  for  it : 
for  in  the  peace  thereof  shall 
ye  have  peace. 

8  IT  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  Ig'ra-el; 
Let  not  your  prophets  and  your 
diviners,  that  Ire  in  the  midst  of 
you,  deceive  you,  neither  heark- 
en to  your  dreams  which  ye 
cause  to  be  dreamed. 

9  For  they  prophesy  falsely 
unto  you  in  my  name:  I  have 
not  sent  them,  saith  the  Lord. 

10  IT  For  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
That  after  seventy  years  be  ac- 
complished at  Bfib'jMon  I  will 
visit  you,  and  perform  my  good 
word  toward  you,  in  causing 
you  to  return  to  this  place. 

11  For  I  know  the  thoughts 
that  I  think  toward  you,  saith 
the  Lord,  thoughts  of  peace, 
and  not  of  evil,  to  give  you  an 
expected  end. 

12  Then  shall  ye  call  upon 
me,  and  ye  shall  go  and  pray 
unto  me,  and  I  will  hearken 
unto  you. 

13  And  ye  shall  seek  me,  and 
find  me,  when  ye  shall  search 
for  me  with  all  your  heart 

14  And  I  will  be  found  of 
you,  saith  the  Lord:  and  I  will 
turn  away  your  captivity,  and 
I  will  gather  you  from  all  the 
nations,  and  from  all  the  places 
whither  I  have  driven  you, 
saith  the  Lord;  and  I  will 
bring  you  again  into  the  place 
Whence  I  caused  you  to  be  car- 
ried away  captive. 


15  IT  Because  ye  have  said, 
The  Lord  hath  raised  us  up 
prophets  in  B&b'jMon ; 

16  Know  that  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  the  king  that  sitteth 
upon  the  throne  of  DS'vid,  and 
of  all  the  people  that  dwelleth 
in  this  city,  and  of  your  breth- 
ren that  are  not  gone  forth 
with  you  into  captivity; 

17  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts ;  Behold,  I  will  send  upon 
them  the  sword,  the  famine, 
and  the  pestilence,  and  will 
make  them  like  vile  figs,  that 
cannot  be  eaten,  they  are  so  evil. 

18  And  I  will  persecute  them 
with  the  sword,  with  the  fam- 
ine, and  with  the  pestilence, 
and  will  deliver  them  to  be  re- 
moved to  all  the  kingdoms  of 
the  earth,  to  be  a  curse,  and 
an  astonishment,  and  an  hiss- 
ing, and  a  reproach,  among  all 
the  nations  whither  I  have 
driven  them: 

19  Because  they  have  not 
hearkened  to  my  words,  saith 
the  Lord,  which  I  sent  unto 
them  by  my  servants  the  proph- 
ets, rising  up  early  and  sending 
them ;  but  ye  would  not  hear, 
saith  the  Lord. 

20  IF  Hear  ye  therefore  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  all  ye  of  the 
captivity,  whom  I  have  sent 
from  JS-ru'sfi-lem  to  BSb'jMon : 

21  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  lg'ra-el,  of 
ATiftb  the  son  of  Kol-a-f'ah,  and 
of  ZSd-e-ki'ah  the  son  of  Mfl-a- 
sS'iah,  which  prophesy  a  lie  un- 
to you  in  my  name;  Behold,  I 
will  deliver  them  into  the  hand 
of  NSb-u-chad-reVzar  king  of 
B&b'jMon;  and  he  shall  slay 
them  before  your  eyes ; 

22  And  of  them  shall  be 
taken  up  a  curse  by  all  the 
captivity  of  Ju'dah  which  are 
in  BaVf-lon,  saying,  The  Lord 
make  thee  like  Zecl-e-kl'ah  and 
like  ATinb,  whom  the  king  of 
Bib'f-lon  roasted  in  the  fire ; 

23  Because  they  have  com- 
mitted villany  in  lg'ra-el,  and 
have  committed  adultery  with 
their  neighbours'  wives,  and 
have  spoken  lying  words  in  my 
name,  which  I  have  not  com- 
manded them;  even  I  know, 
and  am  a  witness,  saith  the 
Lord. 

24  f  Thus  shalt  thou  also 
speak  to  Shem-a-i'ah  the  Ne> 
heTa-mite,  saying, 

25  Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is/ra-el,  say- 
ing, Because  thou  hast  sent  let- 
ters in  thy  name  unto  all  the 
people  that  are  at  JS-ru'sa-lem,

and  to  Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  son  of 
Mfl-a-se'iah  the  priest,  and  to  all 
the  priests,  saying, 

26  The  Lord  hath  made  thee 
priest  in  the  stead  of  JS-hoi'a-da 
the  priest,  that  ye  should  be 
officers  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  for  every  man  that  is 
mad,   and  maketh    himself  a 

Erophet,  that  thou  shouldestput 
im  in  prison,  and  in  the  stocks. 

27  Now  therefore  why  hast 
thou  not  reproved  Jer-e-mi'ah  of 
An'a-thftth,  which  maketh  him- 
self a  prophet  to  you? 

28  For  therefore  he  sent  unto 
us  in  Bfib'JHon,  saying,  This 
captivity  is  long:  build  ye 
houses,  and  dwell  in  them ;  and 
plant  gardens,  and  eat  the  fruit 
of  them. 

29  And  Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  priest 
read  this  letter  in  the  ears  of 
Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet 

30  UThen  came  the  word  of 
the  Lord  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  say 
ing, 

31  Send  to  all  them  of  the 
captivity,  saying,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  concerning  Shem-a-i'ah 
the  Nft-heTa-mite;  Because  that 
Shem-a-i'ah  hath  prophesied  un 
to  you,  and  I  sent  him  not,  and 
he  caused  you  to  trust  in  a  lie : 

32  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Behold,  I  will  punish 
Shem-a-i'ah  the  Ne-heTa-mite, 
and  his  seed :  he  shall  not  have 
a  man  to  dwell  among  this  peo- 
ple; neither  shall  he  behold  the 
good  that  I  will  do  for  my  peo- 

ile,  saith  the  Lord;  because  he 

tath  taught  rebellion  against 

the  Lord.

FT1HE  word  that  came  to  J5r-e- 
J.  mi'ah  from  the  Lord,  say- 
ing, 

2  Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  God 
of  ls'ra-el,  saying,  Write  thee  all 
the  words  that  I  have  spoken 
unto  thee  in  a  book. 

3  For,  lo,  the  days  come,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  I  will  bring  again 
the  captivity  of  my  people  Is/- 
ra-el  and  Ju'dah,  saith  the  Lord  : 
and  I  will  cause  them  to  return 
to  the  land  that  I  gave  to  their 
fathers,  and  they  shall  possess  it 

4  IFAnd  these  are  tne  words 
that  the  Lord  spake  concerning 
ls/ra-el  and  concerning  JtTdah. 

5  For  thus  saith  the  Lord; 
We  have  heard  a  voice  of  trem- 
bling, of  fear,  and  not  of  peace. 

6  Ask  ye  now,  and  see  whether 
a  man  doth  travail  with  child? 
wherefore  do  I  see  every  man 


with  his  hands  on  his  loins,  as  a 
woman  in  travail,  and  all  faces 
are  turned  into  paleness? 

7  Alasl  for  that  day  is  great, 
so  that  none  is  like  it :  it  is  even 
the  time  of  J&'cob's  trouble ;  but 
he  shall  be  saved  out  of  it 

8  For  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  that  I  will  break  his  yoke 
from  off  thy  neck,  and  will 
burst  thy  bonds,  and  strangers 
shall  no  more  serve  themselves 
of  him: 

9  But  they  shall  serve  the 
Lord  their  God,  and  Da'vid  their 
king,  whom  I  will  raise  up  unto 
them. 

10  Therefore  fear  thou  not,  O 
my  servant  Jfi'cob,  saith  the 
Lord;  neither  be  dismayed,  O 
Is/ra-el :  for,  lo,  I  will  save  thee 
from  afar,  and  thy  seed  from 
the  land  of  their  captivity ;  and 
Jfi'cob  shall  return,  and  shall 
be  in  rest,  and  be  quiet,  and 
none  shall  make  him  afraid. 

11  For  I  am  with  thee,  saith 
the  Lord,  to  save  thee :  though 
I  make  a  full  end  of  all  nations 
whither  I  have  scattered  thee, 
yet  will  I  not  make  a  full  end 
of  thee :  but  I  will  correct  thee 
in  measure,  and  will  not  leave 
thee  altogether  unpunished. 

12  For  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Thy  bruise  is  incurable,  and 
thy  wound  is  grievous. 

13  There  is  none  to  plead  thy 
cause,  that  thou  mayest  be 
bound  up:  thou  hast  no  heal' 
ing  medicines. 

14  All  thy  lovers  have  forgot- 
ten thee;  they  seek  thee  not; 
for  I  have  wounded  thee  with 
the  wound  of  an  enemy,  with 
the  chastisement  of  a  cruel  one, 
for  the  multitude  of  thine  iniq- 
uity; because  thy  sins  were 
increased. 

15  Why  criest  thou  for  thine 
affliction?  thy  sorrow  is  incur- 
able for  the  multitude  of  thine 
iniquity :  because  thy  sins  were 
increased,  I  have  done  these 
things  unto  thee. 

16  Therefore  all  they  that  de- 
vour thee  shall  be  devoured; 
and  all  thine  adversaries,  every 
one  of  them,  shall  go  into  cap- 
tivity ;  and  they  that  spoil  thee 
shall  be  a  spoil,  and  all  that 
prey  upon  thee  will  I  give  for

to  walk  by  the  rivers  of  waters 
in  a  straight  way,  wherein  they 
shall  not  stumble :  for  I  am  a 
father  to  Is/ra-el,  and  £'phr&-!m 
is  my  firstborn. 

10  IT  Hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  O  ye  nations,  and  declare 
it  in  the  isles  afar  off,  and  say, 
He  that  scattered  Is/ra-el  will 
gather  him,  and  keep  him,  as  a 
shepherd  doth  his  flock. 

11  For  the  Lord  hath  re- 
deemed Ja'cob,  and  ransomed 
him  from  the  hand  of  him  that 
was  stronger  than  he. 

12  Therefore  they  shall  come 
and  sing  in  the  height  of  Zj'on, 
and  shall  flow  together  to  the 
goodness  of  the  Lord,  for 
wheat,  and  for  wine,  and  for 
oil,  and  for  the  young  of  the 
flock  and  of  the  herd :  and  their 
soul  shall  be  as  a  watered  gar* 
den ;  and  they  shall  not  sorrow 
any  more  at  all. 

13  Then  shall  the  virgin  re- 
joice in  the  dance,  both  young 
men  and  old  together;  for  I 
will  turn  their  mourning  into 
joy,  and  will  comfort  them,  and 
make  them  rejoice  from  their 
sorrow. 

14  And  I  will  satiate  the  soul 
of  the  priests  with  fatness,  and 
my  people  shall  be  satisfied 
with  my  goodness,  saith  the 
Lord. 

15  TThus  saith  the  Lord;  A 
voice  was  heard  inRa'mah,  lam- 
entation,  and  bitter  weeping; 
Rachel  weeping  for  her  children 
refused  to  be  comforted  for.  her 
children,  because  they  were  not 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Re-

and  thine  eyes  from  tears:  for 
thy  work  shall  be  rewarded, 
saith  the  Lord;  arid  they  shall 
come  again  from  the  land  of 
the  enemy. 

17  And  there  is  hope  in  thine 
end,  saith  the  Lord,  that  thy 
children  shall  come  again  to 
their  own  border. 

18  1  I  have  surely  heard 
E'phrarim  bemoaning  himself 
thus ;  Thou  hast  chastised  me, 
and  I  was  chastised,  as  a  bullock 
unaccustomed  to  the  yoke :  turn 
thou  me,  and  I  shall  be  turned ; 
for  thou  art  the  Lord  my  God. 

19  Surely  after  that  I  was 
turned,  I  repented;  and  ifter 
that  I  was  instructed,  I  smote 
upon  my  thigh :  I  was  ashamed, 
yea,  even  confounded,  because 
1  did  bear  the  reproach  of  my 
youth. 

20  h  Cphra'-im  my  dear  son? 
is  lie  &  pleasant  child  ?  for  since 
I  spake  against  him,  I  do  ear- 
nestly remember  him  still: 
therefore  my  bowels  are  trou- 
bled for  him ;  I  will  surely  have 
mercy  upon  him,  saith  the  Lord. 

21  Set  thee  up  waymarks, 
make  thee  high  heaps:  set 
thine  heart  toward  the  high- 
way, even\the  way  which  thou 
wentest:  turn  again,  O  virgin 
of.  Is/ra-el,  turn  again  to  these 
thy  cities. 

22  IF  How  long  wilt  thou  go 
about,  O  thou  backslidingdaugh- 
ter?  for  the  Lord  hath  created 
a  new  thing  Jn  the  earth,  A 
woman  shall  compass  a  man. 

23  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  l§'ra-el;  As 
yet  they  shall  use  this  speech 
m  the  land  of  Juvdah  and  iii 
the  cities  thereof,  when  I  shall 
bring  again  their  captivity ;  The 
Lord  bless  thee,  0  habitation  of 
justice,  and  mountain  of  holi- 
ness. 

24  And  there  shall  dwell  in 
Ju'dah  itself,  and  in  all  the  cit- 
ies thereof  together,  husband- 
men, and  they  that  go  forth 
with  flocks, 

25  For  I  have  satiated  the 
weary  soul,  and  I  have  replen- 
ished every  sorrowful  soul. 

26  Upon  this  I  awaked,  and  be- 
held; and  my  sleep  was  sweet 
unto  me. 

27  IT  Behold,  the  days  come, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  Twill  sow 
the  house  of  Is/ra-el  and  the 
house  of  Jfi'dah  with  the  seed 
of  man,  and  with  the  seed  of 
beast. 

28  And  ft  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  like  as  I  have  watched 
over  them,  to  pluck  up,  and  to 


break  down,  and  to  throw  down, 
and  to  destroy,  and  to  afflict ;  so 
will  I  watch  over  them,  to  build, 
and  to  plant,  saith  the  LORD. 

29  In  those  days  they  shall 
say  no  more,  The  fathers  have 
eaten  a  sour  grape,  and  the  chil- 
dren^ teeth  are  set  oh  edge. 

30  But  every  one  shall  die  for 
his  own  iniquity:  every  man 
that  eateth  the  sour  grape,  his 
teeth  shall  be  set  on  edge. 

31  1T  Behold,  the  days  come, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will  make 
a  new  covenant  with  the  house 
of  Is/ra-el,  and  .with  the  house 
of  Ju'dah : 

32  Not  according  to  the  cove- 
nant that  I  made  with  their  fa- 
thers, in  the  day  that  I  took 
them  by  the  hand  to  bring 
them  out  of  the  land  of  C'gypt ; 
which  my  covenant  they  bralce, 
although  I  was  an  husband  un- 
to them,  saith  the  Lord  : 

33  But  this  shall  be  the  cove- 
nant that  I  will  make  with  the 
house  of  la'ra-el;  After  those 
days,  saith  the  LoRp,  I  will  J>ut 
my  law  in  their  inward  parts, 
and  write  it  in  their  hearts; 
and  will  be  their  God,  and  they 
shall  be  my  people. 

34  And  they  shall  teach  no 
more  every  matt  his  neighbour, 
and  every  man  his  brother,  say- 
ing, Know  the  Lord:  for  they 
shall  all  know  me,  from  the 
least  of  them  unto  the  greatest 
of  them,  saith  the  Lord  :  for  I 
will  i orgive  their  iniquity,  and  I 
wilirem ember  their  sin  no  more. 

35  IT  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
which  giveth  the  sun  for  a 
light  by  day,  and'  the  ordi- 
nances of  the  moon  and  of  the 
stars  for  a  light  by  night,  which 
divideth  the  sea  when  the  waves 
thereof  roar ;  The  Lord  of  hosts 
is  his  name : 

36  If  those  ordinances  depart 
from  before  me,  saith  the  Lord, 
then  the  seed  of  Is/ra-el  also 
shall  cease  from  being  a  nation 
before  me  for  ever. 

37  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  If 
heaven  above  can  be  measured, 
and  the  foundations  of  the  earth 
searched  out  beneath,  I  will  also 
cast  off  all  the  seed  of  Ig'ra-el 
for  all  that  they  have"  done, 
saith  the  Lord. 

38  IT  Behold,  the  days  come, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  the  city 
shall  be  built  to  the  Lord  from 
the  tower  of  Ha-nan'e-el  unto 
the  gate  of  the  corner. 

39  And  the  measuring  line 
Shall  yet  go  forth  over  against 
it  upon  the  hill  Gffrgb,  and 
shall  compass  about  to  Gft'Sfh.

CHAPTER  32 

Jeremiah' 9  imprisonment:  16  his 
complaint  to  God.  26  The  captiv- 
ity confirmed.  36  Promise  of  a 
gracious  return. 

THE  word  that  came  to  Jer-e- 
mi'ah  from  the  Lord  in  the 
tenth  year  of  Z£d-e-ki'ah  king 
of  Ju'dah,  which  was  the  eight- 
eenth year  of  NSb-u-chad-reV- 
zar. 

2  For  then  the  king  of  Baby- 
lon's army  besieged  Jft-ru'sa- 
lem :  and  Jer-e-mrah  the  proph- 
et was  shut  up  in  the  court  of 
the  prison,  which  was  in  the 
king  of  Ju'dah's  house. 

3  For  ZSd-e-ki'ah  king  of  JiT- 
dah  had  shut  him  up,  saving, 
Wherefore  dost  thou  prophesy, 
and  say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Behold,  I  will  give  this  city  into 
the  hand  of  the  king  of  Bab  y- 
lon,  and  he  shall  take  it ; 

4  And  Z£d-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'- 
dah shall  not  escape  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  ChSl-dg'ans,  but 
shall  surely  be  delivered  into 
the  hand  of  the  king  of  BSb'jf- 
Ion,  and  shall  speak  with  him 
mouth  to  mouth,  and  his  eyes 
shall  behold  his  eyes ; 

5  And  he  shall  lead  Z&I-e-ki'ah 
to  B&b'y-lon,  and  there  shall  he 
be  until  I  visit  him,  saith  the 
Lord:  though  ye  fight  with 
the  Ch&l-de'ans,  ye  shall  not 
prosper. 

6  IT  And  Jer-e-mi'ah  said,  The 
word  of  the  Lord  came  unto 
me,  saying, 

7  Behold,  Ha-nam'e-el  the  son 
of  Shallum  thine  uncle  shall 
come  unto  thee,  saying,  Buy 
thee  my  field  that  is  in  An'a- 
thdth :  for  the  right  of  redemp- 
tion is  thine  to  buy  it. 

8  So  Ha-nam'e-el  mine  uncle's 
son  came  to  me  in  the  court  of 
the  prison  according  to  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  and  said 
unto  me,  Buy  my  field,  I  pray 
thee,  that  is  in  An'a-thOth, 
which  is  in  the  country  of 
Ben'ja-min:  for  the  right  of 
inheritance  is  thine,  and  the 
redemption  is  thine ;  buy  it  for 
thyself.  Then  I  knew  that  this 
was  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

9  And  I  bought  the  field  of 
Ha-nam'e-el  my  uncle's  son, 
that  was   in  An'a-thdth,  and 


weighed  him  the  money,  even 
seventeen  shekels,  of  silver. 

10  And  I  subscribed  the  evi- 
dence, and  sealed  it,  and  took 
witnesses,  and  weighed  him  the 
money  in  the  balances. 

11  So  I  took  the  evidence  of 
the  purchase,  both  that  which 
was  sealed  according  to  the 
law  and  custom,  and  that  which 
was  open : 

12  And  I  save  the  evidence 
of  the  purchase  unto  BS'ruch 
the  son  of  Ne-rf ah,  the  son  of 
MS-a-se'iah,  in  the  sight  of  Ha- 
n&m'e-el  mine  uncle's  son,  and 
in  the  presence  of  the  wit- 
nesses that  subscribed  the  book 
of  the  purchase,  before  all  the 
Jews  that  sat  in  the  court  of 
the  prison. 

13  H  And  I  charged  BS'ruch 
before  them,  saying, 

14  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Ig'ra-el;  Take 
these  evidences,  this  evidence 
of  the  purchase,  both  which  is 
sealed,  and  this  evidence  which 
is  open;  and  put  them  in  an 
earthen  vessel,  that  they  may 
continue  many  days. 

15  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is/ra-el; 
Houses  and  fields  and  vineyards 
shall  be  possessed  again  in  this 
land. 

16  IT  Now  when  I  had  deliv- 
ered the  evidence  of  the  pur- 
chase unto  Ba'ruch  the  son  of 
NS-ri'ah,  I  prayed  unto  the 
Lord,  saying, 

17  Ah  Lord  God!  behold, 
thou  hast  made  the  heaven  and 
the  earth  by  thy  great  power 
and  stretched  out  arm,  and 
there  is  nothing  too  hard  for 
thee: 

18  Thou  shewest  lovingkind 
ness  unto  thousands,  and  rec- 
ompensest  the  iniquity  of  the 
fathers  into  the  bosom  of  their 
children  after  them :  the  Great, 
the  Mighty  God,  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  is  his  name, 

19  Great  in  counsel,  and 
mighty  in  work :  for  thine  eyes 
are  open  upon  all  the  ways  of 
the  sons  of  men :  to  give  every 
one  according  to  his  ways,  and 
according  to  the  fruit  of  his  do- 
ings: 

20  Which  hast  set  signs  and 
wonders  in  the  land  of  E'gfpt, 
even  unto  this  day,  and  in  I§'- 
ra-el,  and  among  other  men; 
and  hast  made  thee,  a  name,  as 
at  this  day; 

21  And  hast  brought  forth 
thy  people  lg'ra-el  out  of  the 
land  of  frgypt  with  signs,  and 
with  wonders,  and  with  a  strong

hand,  and  with  a  stretched  out 
arm,  and  with  great  terror; 

22  And  hast  given  them  this 
land,  which  thou  didst  swear  to 
their  fathers  to  give  them,  a 
land  flowing  with  milk  and 
honey; 

23  And  they  came  in,  and 
possessed  it;  but  they  obeyed 
not  thy  voice,  neither  walked 
in  thy  law;  they  have  done 
nothing  of  all  that  thou  com- 
mandeast  them  to  do;  there- 
fore thou  hast  caused  all  this 
evil  to  come  upon  them : 

24  Behold  the  mounts,  they 
are  come  unto  the  city  to  take 
it;  and  the  city  is  given  into 
the  hand  of  the  Ch&l-de'ans, 
that  fight  against  it,  because 
of  the  sword,  and  of  the  fam- 
ine, and  of  the  pestilence:  and 
what  thou  hast  spoken  is  come 
to  pass;  and,  behold,  thou  seest 
it. 

25  And  thou  hast  said  unto 
me,  0  Lord  God,  Buy  thee  the 
field  for  money,  and  take  wit- 
nesses; for  the  city  is  given 
into  the  hand  of  the  Chai-de'- 
ang. 

26  IFThen  came  the  word  of 
the  Lord  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  say- 
ing, 

27  Behold,  I  am  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  all  flesh:  is  there  any 
thing  too  hard  for  me? 

28  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Behold,  I  will  give  this 
city  into  the  hand  of  the  Ch&l* 
deans,  and  into  the  hand  of 
Nelwi-chad-reVzar  king  of  BSb'- 
jMon,  and  he  shall  take  it : 

29  And  the  Chai-de'ans,  that 
fight  against  this  city,  shall 
come  and  set  fire  on  this  city, 
and  burn  it  with  the  houses, 
upon  whose  roofs  they  have 
offered  incense  unto  Ba'al,  and 
poured  out  drink  offerings  unto 
other  gods,  to  provoke  me  to 
anger. 

30  For  the  children  of  Is/ra-el 
and  the  children  of  Ju'dah  have 
only  done  evil  before  me  from 
their  youth:  for  the  children 
of  Ig'ra-el  have  only  provoked 
me  to  anger  with  the  work  of 
their  hands,  saith  the  Lord* 

31  For  this  city  hath  been  to 
me  as  a  provocation  of  mine 
anger  and  of  my  fury  from  the 
day  that  they  built  it  even  un- 
to this  day;  that  I  should  re- 
move it  from  before  my  face, 

32  Because  of  all  the  evil  of 
the  children  of  Is/ra-el  and  of 
the  children  of  Ju'dah,  which 
they  have  done  to  provoke  me 
to  anger,  they,  their  kings, 
their  princes,  their  priests,  and 


their  prophets,  and  the  men  of 
Ju'dah,  and  the  inhabitants  of 
Je-ru/sa-lera. 

33  And  they  have  turned  unto 
me  the  back,  and  not  the  face: 
though  I  taught  them,  rising  up 
early  and  teaching  them,  yet 
they  have  not  hearkened  to  re* 
ceive  instruction. 

34  But  they  set  their  abomi- 
nations in  the  house,  which  is 
called  by  my  name,  to  defile  it. 

35  And  they  built  the  high 
places  of  Baal,  which  are  in 
the  valley  of  the  son  of  Hin' 
nom,  to  cause  their  sons  and 
their  daughters  to  pass,  through 
the  fire  unto  Molech ;  which  I 
commanded  them. not,  neither 
came  it  into  my  mind,  that  they 
should  do  this  abomination,  to 
cause  JQ'dah  to  sin. 

36  IF  And  now  therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
Ig'ra-el,  concerning  this  city, 
whereof  ye  say.  It  shall  be  de- 
livered into  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  BaVy-lon  by  the  sword, 
and  by  the  famine,  and  by  the 
pestilence ; 

37  Behold,  I  will  gather  them 
out  of  all  countries,  whither  I 
have  driven  them  in  mine 
anger,  and  In  my  fury,  and  in 
great  wrath;  and  I  will  bring 
them  again  unto  this  place,  and 
I  will  cause  them  to  dwell 
safely: 

38  And  they  shall  be  my  peo- 
ple, and  I  will  be  their  God: 

39  And  I  will  give  them  one 
heart,  and  one  way,  that  they 
may  fear  me  for  ever,  for  the 
good  of  them,  and  of  their  chil- 
dren after  them: 

40  And  I  will. make  an  ever- 
lasting covenant  with  them, 
that  I  will  not  turn  away  from 
them,  to  do  them  good;  but  I 
will  put  my  fear  in  their  hearts, 
that  they  shall  not  depart  from 
me. 

41  Yea,  I  will  rejoice  over 
them  to  do  them  good,  and  I 
will  plant  them  in  this  land 
assuredly  with,  my  whole  heart 
and  with  my  whole  soul. 

42  For  thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Like  as  I  have  brought  all  this 
great  evil  upon  this  people,  so 
will  I  bring  upon  them  all  the 
good  that  I  nave  promised  them. 

43  And  fields  shall  be  bought 
in  this  land,  whereof  ye  say*  It 
is  desolate  without  man  or 
beast;  it  is  given  into  the 
hand  of  the  Oi&l-de'ang. 

44  Men  shall  buy  fields  for 
money,  and  subscribe  evi- 
dences, and  seal  them,  and  take 
witnesses  in  the  land  of  BSnTja*

CHAPTER  33 

A  gracious  return  promised.  15 
Christ  the  Branch  of  righteousness 
promised. 

MOREOVER  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'- 
ah  the  second  time,  while  he 
was  yet  shut  up  in  the  court  of 
the  prison,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  the 
maker  thereof,  the  Lord  that 
formed  it,  to  establish  it;  the 
Lord  is  his  name ; 

3  Call  unto  me,  and  I  will  an- 
swer thee,  and  shew  thee  great 
and  mighty  things,  which  thou 
knowest  not 

4  For  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
th4  God  of  Is/ra-el,  concerning 
the  houses  Of  this  city,  and  con- 
cerning the  houses  of  the  kings 
of  Jfi'dah,  which  are  thrown 
down  by  the  mounts,  and  by  the 
sword; 

5  They  come  to  fight  with  the 
Ch&l-de'ans,  but  it  is  to  fill  them 
with  the  dead  bodies  of  men, 
whom  I  have  slain  in  mine  an- 
ger and  in  my  fury,  and  for  all 
whose  wickedness  I  have  hid 
my  face  from  this  city. 

6  Behold,  I  will  bring  it  health 
and  cure,  and  I  will  cure  them, 
and  will  reveal  unto  them  the" 
abundance  of  peace  and  truth. 

7  And  I  will  cause  the  cap- 
tivity of  Jfi'dah  and  the  cap- 
tivity of  Is/ra-el  to  return,  and 
will  build  them,  as  at  the  first 

8  And  I  will  cleanse  them  from 
all  their  iniquity,  whereby  they 
have  sinned  against  me;  and  I 
will  pardon  all  their  iniquities^ 
whereby  they  have  sinned,  and 
whereby  they  have  transgressed 
against  me, 

9  And  it  shall  be  to  me  ft  name 
of  joy,  a  praise  and  an  honour 
before  all  the  nations  of  the 
earth,  which  shall  hear  all  the 
good  that  I  do  Unto  .them:  and 
they  shall  fear  and  tremble  for 
all  the  goodness  and  for  all 
the  prosperity  that  I  procure 
unto  it 

10  IT  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Again  there  shall  be  heard  in 
this  place,  which  ye  say  shall 
be  desolate  without  man  and 
without  beast,  even  in  the  cities 
of  Jfi'dah,  and  in  the  streets 
of  teru'sfi-lem,  that  are  deso- 
late, without  man,  and  without 


inhabitant,  and  without  beast, 

11  The  voice  of  joy,  and  the 
voice  of  gladness,  the  voice  of 
the  bridegroom,  and  the  voice 
of  the  bride,  the  voice  of  them 
that  shall  say,  Praise  the  Lord 
of  hosts :  for  the  Lord  is  pood ; 
for  his  mercy  endutetn  for 
ever:  and  of  them  that  shall 
bring  the  sacrifice  of  praise  In- 
to the  house  of  the  Lord.  For 
I  will  cause  to  return  the  cap- 
tivity of  the  land,  as  at  the  first, 
saith  the  Lord. 

12  f  Thus  saith  the  LORD^of 
hosts ;  Again  in  this  place,  which 
is  desolate  without  man  and 
without  beast,  and  in  all  the 
cities  thereof,  shall  be  an  habita- 
tion of  shepherds  causing  their 
flocks  to  lie  down. 

13  In  the  cities  of  the  moun- 
tains, in  the  cities  of  the  vale, 
and  in  the  cities  of  the  south, 
and  in  the  land  of  Benja-min, 
and  in  the  places  about  Je*u's£- 
l£m,  and  in  the  cities  of  Jfi'dah, 
shall  the  flocks  pass  again  under 
the  hands  of  him  that  telleth 
them,  saith  the  Lord. 

14  Behold,  the  days  come, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will  per- 
form that  good  thing  which  I 
have  promised  unto  the  house 
of  Is/ra-el  and  to  the  house  of 
Jfi'dah. 

15  1  In  those  days,  and  at  that 
time,  will  I  cause  the  Branch  of 
righteousness  to  grow  up  unto 
D&'vid;  and  he  shall  execute 
judgment  and  righteousness  in 
the  land. 

16  In  those  days  shall  Jfi'dah 
be  saved,  and  j£r\rs3-lem  shall 
dwell  safely:  and  this  is  the 
name  wherewith  she  shall  be 
called,  The  Lord  our  righteous- 
ness. 

17  1fFor  thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Da'vid  shall  never  want  a  man 
to  sit  upon  the  throne  of  the 
house  of  Is/ra-el; 

18  Neither  shall  the  priests 
the  LC'vites  want  a  man  before 
me  to  offer  burnt  offerings,  and 
to  kindle  meat  offerings,  and  to 
do  sacrifice  continually. 

19  ITAnd  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying, 

20  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  If 
ye  can  break  my  covenant  of 
the  day,  and  my  covenant  of 
the  night,  and  that  there  should 
not  be  day  and  night  in  their 
season ; 

21  Then  may  also  my  cove- 
nant be  broken  with  Da'vid  my 
servant,  that  he  should  not  have 
a  son  to  reign  upon  his  throne; 
and  with  the  LS'vites  the  priests, 
my  ministers.

22  As  the  host  of  heaven  can- 
not be  numbered,  neither  the 
sand  of  the  sea  measured:  so 
will  I  multiply  the  seed  of  Da'- 
vid  my  servant,  and  the  Le'- 
vltes  that  minister  unto  me. 

23  ^Moreover  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah,  say- 
ing* 

24  Considerest  thou  not  what 
this  people  have  spoken,  say- 
ing, The  two  families  which  the 
Lord  hath  chosen,  he  hath  even 
cast  them  off?  thus  they  have 
despised  my  people,  that  they 
should  be  no  more  a  nation  be- 
fore them. : 

25  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  If 
my  covenant  be  not  with  day 
and  night,  and  if  I  have  not  ap- 
pointed the  ordinances  of  heav- 
en and  earth ; 

26  Then  will  I  cast  away  the 
seed  of  J&'cob,  and  D&'via  my 
servant,  80  that  I  will  not  take 
any  of  his  seed  to  be  rulers  over 
the  seed  of  A'brl-hSm,  I'saac, 
and  Ji'cob:  for  I  will  cause 
their  captivity  to  return,  and 
have  mercy  on  them. 

CHAPTER  34 

Jeremiah  propheeiee  the  destruction 
o/  Jerusalem,  and  the  captivity  cf 
Zedekiah. 

THE  word  which  came  unto 
Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord, 
when  NelMirchad-nez'zar  king 
of  B&b'y-lon,  and  all  his  army, 
and  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
earth  of  his  dominion,  and  all 
the  people,  fought  against  J£- 
ru'sa-lem,  and  agjainst  all  the 
cities  thereof,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  Ig'ra-el;  Go  and  speak 
to  ZSd-e-ki'ah  king  of  Judah, 
and  tell  him,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Behold,  I  will  give  this 
city  into  the  hand  of  the  king 
of  BaVjr-lon,  and  he  shall  burn 
it  with  fire: 

3  And  thou  shalt  not  escape 
out  of  his  hand,  but  shalt  sure- 
ly be  taken,  and  delivered  into 
his  hand ;  and  thine  eyes  shall 
behold  the  eyes  of  the  king  of 
Baby-Ion,  and  he  shall  speak 
with  thee  mouth  to  mouth,  and 
thou  shalt  go  to  BaVjr-lon. 

4  Yet  hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  0  ZSd-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju 
dah;  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
thee,  Thou  shalt  not  die  by  the 
sword : 

5  But  thou  shalt  die  in  peace : 
and  with  the  burnings  of  thy 
fathers,  the  former  kings  which 
were  before  thee,  so  shall  they 
burn  odours  for  thee;  and  they 
will  lament  thee,  saying,  Ah 


lord  I  for  I  have  pronounced  the 
word,  saith  the  Lord. 

6  Then  J£r-e-mi'ah  the  prophet 
spake  all  these  words  unto  Z£d- 
e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  in  J£-ru/- 
sa>l£m, 

7  When  the  king  of  Baby- Ion's 
army  fought  against  JS-ru'sa- 
Ifim,  and  against  all  the  cities 
of  Ju'dah  that  were  left,  against 
Lft'chish,  and  against  A-sSltah : 
for  these  defenced  cities  re- 
mained of  the  cities  of  Ju'dah. 

8  H  This  is  the  word  that 
came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the 
Lord,  after  that  the  king  ZeU- 
e-ki'ah  had  made  a  covenant 
with  all  the  people  which  were 
at  Jg-ru/sfi-lem,  to  proclaim  lib- 
erty unto  them ; 

9  That  every  man  should  let 
his  manservant,  and  every  man 
his  maidservant,  being  an  He- 
brew or  an  HS'brew-ess,  go  free : 
that  none  should  serve  himself 
of  them,  to  wit,  of  a  Jew  his 
brother. 

10  Now  when  all  the  princes, 
and  all  the  people,  which  had 
entered  into  the  covenant,  heard 
that  every  one  should  let  his 
manservant,  and  every  one  his 
maidservant,  go  free,  that  none 
should  serve  themselves  of  them 
any  more,  then  they  obeyed, 
and  let  them  go. 

11  But  afterward  they  turned, 
and  caused  the  servants  and  the 
handmaids,  whom  thev  had  let 
go  free,  to  return,  and  brought 
them  into  subjection  for  serv- 
ants and  for  handmaids. 

12  HThereforethewordof  the 
Lord  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  from 
the  Lord,  saying, 

13  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  Ig'ra-el ;  I  made  a  cove- 
nant with  your  fathers  in  the 
day  that  I  Drought  them  forth 
out  of  the  land  of  E'&jfpt,  out 
of  the  house  of  bondmen,  say- 
ing, 

14  At  the  end  of  seven  years 
let  ye  go  every  man  his  brother 
an  Hebrew,  which  hath  been 
sold  unto  thee;  and  when  he 
hath  served  thee  six  years,  thou 
shalt  let  him  go  free  from  thee : 
but  your  fathers  hearkened  not 
unto  me,  neither  inclined  their 
ear. 

15  And  ye  were  now,  turned, 
and  had  done  right  in  my  sight, 
in  proclaiming  liberty  every 
man  to  his  neighbour;  and  ye 
had  made  a  covenant  before 
me  in  the  house  which  is  called 
by  my  name : 

16  But  ye  turned  and  polluted 
my  name,  and  caused  every  man 
his  servant,  and  every  man  his

at  liberty  at  their  pleasure,  to 
return,  and  brought  them  into 
subjection,  to  be  unto  you  for 
servants  and  for  handmaids. 

17  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  ;  Ye  have  not  hearkened 
unto  me,  in  proclaiming  liberty, 
every  one  to  his  brother,  and 
every  man  to  his  neighbour :  be- 
hold, I  proclaim  a  liberty  for 
you,  saith  the  Lord,  to  the 
sword,  to  the  pestilence,  and  to 
the  famine;  and  I  will  make  vou 
to  be  removed  into  all  the  king- 
doms of  the  earth. 

18  And  I  will  give  the  men 
that  have  transgressed  my  cov- 
enant, which  have  not  per- 
formed the  words  of  the  cove- 
nant which  they  had  made 
before  me,  when  *hey  cut 
the  calf  in  twain,  and  passed 
between  the  parts  thereof, 

19  The  princes  of  Ju'dah,  and 
the  princes  of  J&ru'sS-le'm,  the 
eunuchs,  and  the  priests,  and 
all  the  people  of  the  land,  which 
passed  between  the  parts  of  the 
calf; 

20  I  will  even  give  them  into 
the  hand  of  their  enemies,  and 
into  the  hand  of  them  that  seek 
their  life :  and  their  dead  bodies 
shall  be  for  meat  unto  the  fowls 
of  the  heayen,  and  to  the  beasts 
of  the  earth'. 

21  And  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of 
jQ'dah  and  his  princes  wiH 
give  into  the  hand  of  their 
enemies,  and  into  the  hand  of 
them  that  seek  their  life,  and 
into  the  hand  of  the  king  of 
Bab'JMon's  army,  which  are 
gone  up  from  you. 

22  Behold,  I  will  command, 
saith  the  LORD,  and  cause  them 
to  return  to  this  city ;  and  they 
shall  fight  against  it,  and  take 
it,  and  burn  it  with  fire :  and  I 
will  make  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  a 
desolation  without  an  inhabit- 
ant. 

CHAPTER  35 

By  Ute  obedience  of  the  Rechabites,  1 
the  Jims'  disobedience  condemned. 

fTlHE  word  which  came  unto 
JL  Jgr-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord 
in  the  days  of  Je-hoi'a-kfm  the 
son  of  j£s!'ah  king  of  Ju'dah, 
saying; 

2  Go  unto  the  house  of  the 
Re"chab-ites,  and  speak  unto 
them,  and  bring  them  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  into  one  of 
the  chambers,  and  give  them 
wine  to  drink. 

3  Then  I  took  Ja-toa-ni'ah 
the  son  of  Jer-e-mi'ah,  the  son 
of  Hfib-a-zl-ni'ah,  and  his  breth- 
ren, and  all  his  sons,  and  the 


whole  house  of  the  Rg'chab- 
ites; 

4  And  I  brought  them  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  into  the 
chamber  of  the  sons  of  Hfi'nan, 
the  son  of  lg-da-H'ah,  a  man  of 
God,  which  was  by  the  cham- 
ber of  the  princes,  which  was 
above  the  chamber  of  MA-a 
s?iah  the  son  of  ShftTlum,  the 
keeper  of  the  door: 

5  And  I  set  before  the  sons  of 
the  house  of  the  Re'chab-ites 

rots  full  of  wine,  and  cups,  and 
said  unto  them,  Drink  ye  wine. 

6  But  they  said,  We  will  drink 
no  wine :  for  J5n'a-dib  the  son 
of  Re'chSb  our  father  com 
manded  us,  saying,  Ye  shall 
drink  no  wine,  neither  ye,  nor 
your  sons  for  ever: 

7  Neither  shall  ye  build  house, 
nor  sow  seed,  nor  plant  vine- 
yard, nor  have  any:  but  all 
your  days  ye  shall  dwell  in 
tents;  that  ye  may  live  many 
days  in  the  land  where  ye  be 
strangers. 

8  Thus  have  we  obeyed  the 
voice  of  Jdn'a-dfib  the  son  of 
Re'chab  pur  father  in  all  that 
he  hath  charged  us,  to  drink  no 
wine  all  our  days,  we,  our  wives, 
our  sons,  nor  our  daughters ; 

9  Nor  to  build  houses  for  us 
to  dwell  in:  neither  have  we 
vineyard,  nor  field,  nor  seed : 

10  But  we  have  dwelt  in  tents, 
and  have  obeyed,  and  done  ac 
cording  to  all  that  Jdn'a-dfib  our 
father  commanded  us. 

11  But  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Neb-u-chad-reYzar  king  of  B&V 
jMon  came  up  into  the  land, 
that  we  said,  Come,  and  let  us 
go  to  Je-ru'sa-le'm  for  fear  of 
the  army  of  the  Ch&l-de'ang, 
and  for  fear  of  the  army  of  the 
S^fT-ana:  so  we  dwell  at  JS-ru/- 
sa-lgm. 

12  TThen  came  the  word  of 
the  Lord  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  say- 
ing, 

13  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  lg'ra-el;  Go 
and  tell  the  men  of  Ju'dah  and 
the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sfi-lem, 
Will  ye  not  receive  instruction 
to  hearken  to  my  words?  saith 
the  Lord. 

14  The  words  of  Jbn'a-dSb  the 
son  of  Re'chUb,  that  he  com- 
manded his  sons  not  to  drink 
wine,  are  performed;  for  unto 
this  day  they  drink  none,  but 
obey  their  father's  command- 
ment: notwithstanding  I  have 
spoken  unto  you,  rising  early 
and  speaking;  but  ye  heark- 
ened not  unto  me. 

15  I  have  sent  also  unto  you

all  my  servants  the  prophets, 
rising  up  early  and  sending 
them,  saying,  Return  ye  now 
every  man  from  his  evil  way, 
and  amend  your  doings,  and  go 
not  after  other  cods  to  serve 
them,  and  ye  shall  dwell  in  the 
land  which  I  have  given  to  you 
and  to  your  fathers:  but  ye 
have  not  inclined  your  ear,  nor 
hearkened  unto  me. 

16  Because  the  sons  of  Jdn'a- 
dab  the  son  of  RS'ch&b  have 
performed  the  commandment  of 
their  father,  which  he  com- 
manded them;  but  this  people 
hath  not  hearkened  unto  me: 

17  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  hosts,  the  God 
of  Is/ra-el ;  Behold,  I  will  bring 
upon  Ju'dah  and  upon  all  the 
inhabitants  of  J€-ru'sa-lem  all 
the  evil  that  I  have  pronounced 
against  them:  because  I  have 
spoken  unto  them,  but  they 
have  not  heard;  and  I  have 
called  unto  them,  but  they 
have  not  answered.

to the  house  of  the  Re'chab-ites, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Ig'ra-el;  Because  ye 
have  obeyed  the  commandment 
of  J5n'aiab  your  father,  and 
kept  all  his  precepts,  and  done 
according  unto  all  that  he  hath 
commanded  you: 

19  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Isra- 
el; Jdn'a-d&b  the  son  of  Re' 
ch5b  shall  not  want  a  man  to

CHAPTER  36 
Barueh  writes  Jeremiah's ... 

20  Jehoiakim  burns  the  roll, 
Barueh  writes  a  new  copy. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
fourth  year  of  J$-hoi'a-kIm 
theson  of  J6-si'ah  king  of  Ju'dah, 
that  this  word  came  unto  Jer-e- 
mi'ah  from  the  Lord,  saying, 

2  Take  thee  a  roll  of  a  book, 
and  write  therein  all  the  words 
that  I  have  spoken  unto  thee 
against  Ig'ra-el,  and  against  Jfl'- 
dah,  and  against  all  the  nations, 
from  the  day  I  spake  unto  thee, 
from  the  days  of  Jo-sT'ah,  even 
unto  this  day. 

3  It  may  be  that  the  house 
of  Jfl'dah  will  hear  all  the  evil 
which  I  purpose  to  do  unto 
them;  that  they  may  return 
every  man  from  his  evil  way; 
that  I  may  forgive  their  iniqui- 
ty and  their  sin. 

4  Then  JSr-e-mi'ah,  called  Ba'- 
ruch  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah:  and 
Barueh  wrote  from  the  mouth 
of  JeY-e-ml'ah  all  the  words  of 
the  Lord,  which  he  had  spoken 


unto  him,  upon  a  roll  of  a  book. 

5  And  Jer-e-mi'ah  commanded 
BS'ruch,  saying,  I  am  shut  up ; 
I  cannot  go  into  the  house  of 
the  Lord  : 

6  Therefore  go  thou,  and  read 
in  the  roll,  which  thou  hast 
written  from  my  mouth,  the 
words  of  the  Lord  in  the  ears 
of  the  people  in  the  Lord's 
house  upon  the  fasting  day: 
and  also  thou  shalt  read  them 
in  the  ears  of  all  Jfl'dah  that 
come  out  of  their  cities. 

7  It  may  be  they  will  present 
their  supplication  before  the 
Lord,  and  will  return  every  one 
from  his  evil  way:  for  great  is 
the  anger  and  the  fury  that  the 
Lord  hath  pronounced  against 
this  people. 

8  And  Ba'njch  the  son  of  Ne- 
ri'ah  did  according  to  all  that 
J£r-e-mi'ah  the  prophet  com- 
manded him,  reading  in  the 
book  the  words  of  the  Lord  in 
the  Lord's  house. 

9  And  It  came  to  pass  in  the 
fifth  year  of  JMioi'a-kim  the 
son  of  Jo-sf  ah  king  of  JfL'dah, 
in  the  ninth  month,  that  they 
proclaimed  a  fast  before  the 
Lord  to  all  the  people  in  J£- 
ru'sfi-le'm,  and  to  all  the  people 
that  came  from  the  cities  of 
Ju'dah  unto  JS-ru'sS-lern. 

10  Then  read  fia'ruch  in  the 
book  the  words  of  JeT-e-mi'ah 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  in 
the  chamber  of  Ggm-a-ri'ah  the 
son  of  Sha'phan  the  scribe,  in 
the  higher  court,  at  the  entry 
of  the  new  gate  of  the  Lord's 
house,  in  the  ears  of  all  the 
people. 

11  IFWhen  Mi-chfi'iah  the  son 
of  Gem-a-ri'ah,  the  son  of  Sha'- 
phan, had  heard  out  of  the  book 
all  the  words  of  the  Lord, 

12  Then  he  went  down  into 
the  king's  house,  into  the 
scribe's  chamber:  and,  lo,  all 
the  princes  sat  there,  even 
£-lish'a-ma  the  scribe,  and  Del 
a-i'ah  the  son  of  Shem-a-i'ah, 
and  £l'na-than  the  son  of  Ach' 
bdr,  and  Gem-a-ri'ah  the  son  of 
Sha'phan,  and  Zgd-e-ki'ah  the 
son  of  Han-a-ni'ah,  and  all  the 
princes. 

13  Then  Mi-cha'iah  declared 
unto  them  all  the  words  that  he 
had  heard,  when  Ba'ruch  read 
the  book  in  the  ears  of  the 
people. 

14  Therefore  all  the  princes 
sent  Je-hu'di  the  son  of  Ne*th-a- 
ni'ah,  the  son  of  Shel-e-mi'ah, 
the  son  of  Cu'shi,  unto  Ba'ruch, 
saving,  Take  in  thine  hand  the 
roil  wherein  thou  hast  read  in

the  ears  of  the  people,  and  come. 
So  Ba'ruch  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah 
took  the  roll  in  his  hand,  and 
came  unto  them. 

15  And  they  said  unto  him, 
Sit  down  now,  and  read  it  in 
our  ears.  So  Ba'ruch  read  it  in 
their  ears. 

16  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  had  heard  all  the  words, 
they  were  afraid  both  one  and 
other,  and  said  unto  Ba'ruch, 
We  will  surely  tell  the  king  of 
all  these  words. 

17  And  they  asked  Ba'ruch, 
saying,  Tell  us  now,  How  didst 
thou  write  all  these  words  at 
his  mouth? 

18  Then  Ba'ruch  answered 
them,  He  pronounped  all  these 
words  unto  me  with  his  mouth, 
arid  J  wrote  them  with  ink  in 
the  book. 

19  Then  said  the  princes  unto 
Bft'ruch,  Go,  hide  thee,  thou  and 
Jer^mi'ah;  and  let  no  man 
know  where  ye  be. 

20  HAnd  they  went  in  to  the 
king  into  the  court,  but  they 
laid  up  the  roll  in  the  cham- 
ber of  E-Hsh'a-ma  the  scribe, 
and  told  all  the  words  in  the 
ears  of  the  king. 

21  So  the  king  sent  J£-hu'di  to 
fetch  the  roll :  and  he  took  it 
out  of  J&llsh'a-ma  the  scribe's 
chamber.  And  Je-hu'dl  read  it 
in  the  ears  of  the  king,  and  in 
the  ears  of  all  the  princes  which 
stood  beside  the  king. 

22  Now  the  king  sat  in  the 
winterhouse  in  the  ninth 
month:  and  there  was  a  fire 
on  the  hearth  burning  before 
him. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  JS-hu'di  had  read  three  or 
four  leaves,  he  cut  it  with  the 
penknife,  and  cast  it  into  the 
fire  that  was  on  the  hearth,  un- 
til all  the  roll  was  consumed  in 
the  fire  that  was  on  the  hearth. 

24  Vet  they  were  not  afraid, 
nor  rent  their  garments,  nei- 
ther the  king,  nor  any  of  his 
servants  that  heard  all  these 
words. 

25  Nevertheless  fil'na-than  and 
Del-a-i'ah  and  Gem-a-ri'ah  had 
made  intercession  to  the  king 
that  he  would  not  burn  the  roll : 
but  he  would  not  hear  them. 

26  But  the  king  commanded 
J5-rah'me-eI  the  son  of  Ham'me- 
lech,  and  Ser-a-i'ah  the  son  of 
Az'ri-el,  and  Sh&e-mi'ah  the 
son  of  Ab'de-el,  to  take  Ba'ruch 
the  scribe  and  Jgr-e-mi'ah  the 
prophet :  but  the  Lord  hid  them. 

27  II  Then  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah,  after 


that  the  king  had  burned  the 
roll,  and  the  words  which  Ba'- 
ruch wrote  at  the  mouth  of  Jer- 
e-mi'ah,  saying, 

28  Take  thee  again  another 
roll,  and  write  in  it  all  the  for- 
mer words  that  were  in  the  first 
roll,  which  Je-hoi'a-kjm  the  king 
of  Ju'dah  hath  burned. 

29  And  thou  shalt  say  to  JS- 
hoi'a-klm  king  of  Ju'dah,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord;  Thou  hast 
burned  this  roll,  saying,  Why 
hast  thou  written  therein,  say- 
ing, The  king  of  B&Vy-lon  shall 
certainly  come  and  destroy  this 
land,  and  shall  cause  to  cease 
from  thence  man  and  beast  ? 

30  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  JS-hoi'a-kim  king  of 
Ju'dah ;  He  shall  have  none  to 
sit  upon  the  throne  of  Dfi'vid: 
and  his  dead  body  shall  be  cast 
out  in  the  day  to  the  heat,  and 
in  the  night  to  the  frost. 

31  And  I  will  punish  him  and 
his  seed  and  his  servants  for 
their  iniquity ;  and  I  will  bring 
upon  them,  and  upon  the  in- 
habitants of  JS-ru  s5-lem,  and 
upon  the  men  of  Ju'dah,  all  the 
evil  that  I  have  pronounced 
against  them;  but  they  heark- 
ened not 

32  ITThen  took  Jer-e-mi'ah 
another  roll,  and  gave  it  to  Ba'- 
ruch the  scribe,  the  son  of  N£- 
ri'ah ;  who  wrote  therein  from 
the  mouth  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  all  the 
words  of  the  book  which  Je-hoi'- 
a-kim  king  of  Ju'dah  had  burned 
in  the  fire:  and  there  were 
added  besides  unto  them  many 
like  words* 

CHAPTER  37

Chaldeans'  siege.  Zedekiah  send*  to 
Jeremiah:  6  who  prophesies  the 
Chaldeans' return  and  victory  ;  11 
he  is  smitten,  and  put  in  prison, 

AND  king  ZSd-e-ki'ah  the  son 
of  JS-si'ah  reigned  instead 
of  Co-ni'ah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a- 
ldm,  whom  NeTMi-chad-reVzar 
king  of  BaVy-lon  made  king  in 
the  land  of  Ju'dah. 

2  But  neither  he,  nor  his  serv- 
ants, nor  the  people  of  the  land, 
did  hearken  unto  the  words  of 
the  Lord,  which  he  spake  by 
the  prophet  JSr-e-mrah. 

3  And  Zgd-e-ki'ah  the  king 
sent  J£-hu'cal  the  son  of  ShSl-e- 
mi'ah  and  Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  son 
of  Ma-a-selah  the  priest  to  the 
prophet  Jer-e-mTah,  saying,Pray 
now  unto  the  Lord  our  God  for 
us. 

4  Now  Jer-e-mi'ah  came  in 
and  went  out  among  the  people : 
for  they  had  not  put  him  into 
prison.

5  Then  PhaTraah's  army  was 
come  forth  oat  of  E'gjppt :  and 
when  the  Chal-de'ans  that  be- 
sieged Je-ru/sS-lem  heard  tidings 
of  them,  they  departed  from  3h- 
ru'sa-lem. 

6  IT  Then  came  the  word  of 
the  Lord  unto  the  prophet  leV- 
e-ml'ah,  saying, 

7  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  I&'ra-el ;  Thus  shall  ye 
say  to  the  king  of  jQ'dah,  that 
sent  you  unto  me  to  enquire  of 
me;  Behold,  Pha'raOh's  army, 
which  is  come  forth  to  help 
you,  shall  return  to  Cgjpt  into 
their  own  land. 

8  And  the  CfcSl-drans  shall 
come  again,  and  fight  against 
this  city,  and  take  it,  and  burn 
it  with  fire. 

9  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  De- 
ceive not  yourselves, '  saying. 
The  Chfll-dS'ans  shall  surely  de- 
part from  us :  for  they  shall  not 
depart 

10  For  though  ye  had  smitten 
the  whole  army  of  the  ChaUde"- 
ans  that  fight  against  you,  and 
there  remained  but  wounded 
men  among  them,  yet  should 
they  rise  up  every  man  in  his 
tent,  and  burn  this  city  with  fire. 

11  HAnd  it  came  to  pass;  that 
when  the  army  of  thie  Chal-de'- 
ang  was  broken  up  from  Jg-ru/- 
sa-lem  for  fear  of  Pha'raOh's 
army, 

12  Then  Jer-e-ml'ah  went  forth 
out  of  JcVru'sa'-le'm  to  go  into 
the  land  of  BeVia-min,  to  sep- 
arate himself  thence  in  the 
midst  of  the  people. 

13  And  when  he  was  in  the 
gate  of  Ben'ja-min,  a  captain 
of  the  ward  was  there,  whose 
name  tvas  I-rfjah,  the  son  of 
Shel-e-mi'ah,  the  son  of  Hftn-a- 
ni'ah ;  and  he  took  JSr-e-mfah 
the  prophet,  saying,  Thou  fall- 
est  away  to  the  Oh&l-de'ang. 

14  Then  said  Jex-e-mi'ah,,  It 
is  false;  I  fall  not  away, to  the 
Ch&l-de'ans,  But  he  hearkened 
not  to  him:  So  I-ri'jah  took. Jer- 
e-mi'ah,  and  brought  him  to  the 
princes. 

15  Wherefore  the  princes  were 
wroth  with  Jfir-e-mi'ah;  and 
smote  him,  and  put  him  in  pris- 
on in  the  house  of  JCn'a-than 
the  scribe:  for  they  had  made 
that  the  prison. 

16  fWhen  Jer-e-ml'ah  was  en- 
tered into  the  dungeon,  and  in- 
to the  cabins,  and  Jer-e-mi'ah 
had  remained  there  many  days; 

17  Then  Z*d-e-kf  ah  the  king 
sent,  and  took  him  out :  and  the 
king  asked  him  secretly  in  his 
house,  and  said,  Is  there  any 


word  from  the  Lord?  And 
Jer-e-mi'ah  said,  There  is:  for, 
said  he,  thou  shalt  be  delivered 
into  the  hand  of  the  kin£  of 
BaVf-lon. 

18  Moreover  Jer-e-mfah  said 
unto  king  Zgd-e-kl'ah,  What 
have  I  offended  against  thee,'  or 
against  thy  servants,  or  against 
this  people,  that  ye  have  put 
me  in  prison?  •    ••'  . 

19  Where  tire  now  your  proph- 
ets which  prophesied  unto  you, 
saying,  The  king  of  BaVjMon 
shall  not  come  against  you,  not 
against  this  land  ?      * 

20  Therefore  hear  now,  I  pray 
thee,  0  my  lord  the  king:  let 
my  supplication,  I  pray  thee,  be 
accepted  before  thee;  that  thou 
cause  me  not  to  return'  to  the 
house  of  JCn'a-than  the  scribe, 
lest  I  die  there.' 

21  Then  Ze*d-e-kfah  the  king 
commanded  that  tnev  should 
commit  Jer-e-mi'ah  into  the 
court  of  the  prison;  and  that 
they  should  give  him  dally  a 
piece  6f  bread  Out  of  the  bak- 
ers' street,  until  all  the  bread 
in  the  city  were  spent  Thus 
Jer-e-mi'ah  ;  remained  in  •  *  the 
court  of  the  prison. :

THEN  Sh^ph-a-tfah  the  son 
of  Mat' tan,  and  GeM^lfah 
the  son  of  Pftsh'ur,  arid  Ju'cal 
the  son  of  Shel-e-mi'ah,  and 
Pash'ur  the  son  of  Mfil-chl'ah, 
heard  the  words  that  Je^hri 
ah  had  spokeh  unto  all  the  peo- 
ple, saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  He 
that  remaineth  in  this  city  shall 
die  by  the  sword,  by  the  fam- 
ine, and  by  the  pestilence:  but 
he  that  goeth  forth  to  theChal 
de'ans  shall  live;  f6r  he  shall 
have  his  life  for  a  prey,  and 
shall  live. 

3  thus  saith  the  Lord,  This 
city  shall  surely  be  given*  into 
the  hand  of  the  king  of  r&b'f- 
lon's  army,  which  shall  take  it. 

4  Therefore  the  prince*  said 
unto  the  king,  We  beseech  thee, 
let  this  mail  be  put  to  death: 
for  thus  he  weakeheth  the 
hands  of  the  men  of  war  that  re- 
main in  this  city,  arid  the  hands 
of  all  the  people,  in  speaking 
such  words  unto  them:  for  this 
man  seeketh  not  the  welfare  of 
this  people,  out  the  hurt. 

5  Then  Z£d-*ki'ah  the  king 
said,  Behold,  he  ia  in  your

6  Then  took  they  Jer-e-mi'ah, 
and  cast  him  into,  the  dungeon 
of  Mfil-chi'ah  the  son  of  Ham 
xne-lgch,  that  was  in  the  court 
of  the  prison :  and  they  let  down 
Jer^e-mTah  with  cords. :  And  in 
the  dungeon  there  was  no  wa- 
ter, hut  mire :  so  JSr-e-mTah 
sunk  in  the  mire*    ' 

7  H  Now  when  £'becl-m€'lech 
the  E-thi^'pI-an,  one  of  the 
eunuchs  which  was  in  the 
king* 8  house,  heard,  that  they 
had  put  Jer-e-mi'ah  in  the  dun- 
geon ;  the  king  then  sitting  in 
the  gate  of  Ben'jarmin ; . 

9  Kbed-me'lech  went  forth 
out  of  the  king's  house,  and 
spake  to  the  king,  saying, 

9  My  lord  the  king,  these  men 
have  done  evil  in  all  that  they 
have  done  to  Jer-e-mTah  the 
prophet,  whom  they  have  cast 
into  the  dungeon;  and  he  is 
like  to  die  for  hunger  in  the 
place  where  he  is :  for  there  is 
no  more  bread  in  the  city. 

10  Then  the  king  commanded 
ETbed-mglech  the  E-thi-o'pI-an, 
spying,  Take  from  hence  thirty 
men  with  thee,  and  take  up 
Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet  out  of 
the  dungeon,  before  he  die. 

11  So  rTbed-melech  took  the 
inen  with  him,  and  went  into 
the  house  of  the  king  under 
the  treasury,  and  took,  thence 
old  cast  clouts  and  old  rotten 
rags,  and  let  them  down  by 
cords  into  the  dungeon  to  Jer- 
e-mi'ah. 

12  And  fiTbed-melech  the 
E4hl-d'pi-an  said  unto  Jer-e- 
mi'ah,  Put  now  these  old  cast 
clouts ,  and  rotten  rags  under 
thine  armholes  under  the  cords. 
And  JSr-e*ni'ah  did  so. 

13  So  they  drew,  up  Jer-e- 
mi'ah  with,  cords,  and  took  him 
up  out  of  the  dungeon :  and  Jer- 
e-mi'ah  remained  in  the  court 
of  the  prison. 

14  f  Then  ZfioV«4n'ah  the  king 
sent,, and  took  Jer-e-mi'ah  the 
prophet  uhtq  him  into  the  third 
entry  that  is  in  the  house  of 
theXpRD:  and  the  king  said 
unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  I  will  ask  thee 
a  thijig ;  hide  nothing  from  me. 

15  Then  Jer-e-mi'ah  said  unto 
ZeU-e-ki'ah,  If  I  declare  it  unto 
thee,  wilt  thou  pot  surely  put 
me  to  death  ?  and  if  I  give  thee 
counsel,  wilt  thou  not  hearken 
unto  me? 

16  So  ZM-e-ki'ah  the  king 
sware  secretly  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah, 
saying,  As  the  Lord  liveth, 
that  made  us  this,  soul,  I;  will 


not  put  thee  to  death,  neither 
will  I  give  thee  into  the  hand 
of  these  men  that  seek  thy  life. 

17  Then  said  Jer-e-mi'ah  unto 
Z$dre-ki'ah,Thussaith  theLoRD, 
the  God  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
ls'ra-el ;  If  thou  wilt  assuredly 
go  forth  unto  the  king  of  Bab'- 
J-lon's  princes,  then  thy  soul 
shall  live*  and  this  city  shall 
not  be  burned  with  fire;  and 
thou  shalt  live,  and  thine  house: 

18  But  if  thou  wilt  not  go 
forth  to  the  king  of  B&b'jr-lon's 
princes,  then  shall  this  city  be 
given  into  the  hand  of  the 
Ch&i-de'ans,  and  they  shall  burn 
it  with  fire,  and  thou  shalt  not 
escape  out  of  their  hand. 

19  And  Z£d-e-ki'ah  the  king 
said  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  I  am 
afraid  of  the  Jews  that  are 
fallen  to  the  Chal-de'ana,  lest 
they  deliver  me  into  their  hand, 
and  they  mock  me. 

20  But  Jer-e-mi'ah  said,  They 
shall  not  deliver  thee.  Obey,  I 
beseech  thee,  the  voice  of  the 
Lord,  which  I  speak  unto  thee 
so  it  shall  be  well  unto  thee, 
and  thy  soul  shall  live. 

21  But  if  thou  refuse  to  go 
forth,  this  is  the  word  that  the 
Lord  hath  shewed  me : 

22  And,  behold,  all  the  women 
that  are  left  in  the  king  of  Jor- 
dan's house  shall  be  Drought 
forth  to  the  king  of  BaVy-lon's 
princes,  and  those  women  shall 
say,  Thy  friends  have  set  thee 
on,  and  have  prevailed  against 
thee :  thy  feet  are  sunk  in  the 
mire,  ana  they  are  turned  away 
back. 

23  So  they  shall  bring  out 
all  thy  wives  and  thy  children 
to  the  Ch&l-de'ans :  and  thou 
shalt  not  escape. out  of  their 
hand,  but  shalt  be  taken  by  the 
hand  of  the  king  of  Bab'jMon : 
and.  thou  shalt  cause  this  city 
to  be  burned  with  fire. 

24  JT  Then  said  ZM-e-ki'ah 
unto*  Jer-e-mi'ah,  Let  no  man 
know  of  these  words,  and  thou 
shalt  not  die. 

25  But  if  the  princes  hear 
that  I  have  talked  with  thee, 
and  they  come  unto  thee,  and 
say  unto  thee,  Declare  unto  us 
now  what  thou  hast  said  unto 
the  king,  hide  it  not  from  us, 
and  we  will  not  put  thee  to 
death ;  also  what  the  king  said 
unto  thee : 

26  Then  thou  shalt  say  unto 
them,  I. presented- my  supplica- 
tion before  the  king,  that  he 
would  not  cause  me  to  return 
to  J$n'a»than's  house,  to  die 
there.

27  Then  came  all  the: princes 
unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  and-  asked 
him:  and , he  told-  them  accord- 
ing to  all.  these  words  that  the 
king  had  commanded.  So  they 
left  off  speaking  with  him;  lor 
the  matter'  was  not  perceived. 

28  So  Jer-e-mi'ah  abode  in  the 
court  of.  the  prison  until  the 
day  that  Je^ru/sa-lfim  was  taken : 
and<  he  waa  there  when  4&«n'- 
sft-lem  was  taken. 

CHAPTER  39 

Jerusalem  taken,  A  2edekia%  made 
blind,  and  eent  to  Babylon.  8  The 
city  ruined,  9  The  people  carried 
qtpay  captive* 

IN  the  ninth  year  of  ZS&e-ld'. 
ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  in  the 
tenth  month,  came  NCbm-chad- 
rea'sar  king  of  Bab'jMon  and  all 
his  army  against  J&arg'saVlgm* 
and  they  besieged  it. 

2  And  in  the  eleventh  year  of 
Z$d-e-ki'ah»  in  the  fourth  month, 
the.  ninth  day  of  the  month,  the 
city  was  broken  up. 

3  And  all  the  princes  of  the 
king  of  Bftb'y-lon,  came  in,  and 
sat  in  the  middle  gate,,  even 
NeTgal-shft-rrzer,  Sam'g3roS'- 
bfc  S&r^chim,  Rab'-^-rJs,  Ne* 
gal-sha-rg'zer,  R&b'-m&g,  with 
all  the  residue  of  the  princes  of 
the  king  of  Bfib'^on. 

4  HAnd  it  came  to  pass,'  that 
when  Zfid-e-ki'ah  the  king  of 
Ju'dah  saw  them,  and  all  the 
men  of  war,  then  thevrfed,  and 
went  forth  out  of  the  city  by 
night,  by  the  way  of  the  km^s 
garden,  by  the  gate  betwixt  the 
two  walls:  and  he  went  out  the 
way  of  the  plain* 

5  But  the  Cbal-de'ans;  army 
pursued  after  them,  and  over- 
took ZSd-e-ki'ah  in  the  plains  of 
Jerl-cho:  and  when  they. had 
taken  him,  they  brought  him 
up  to  KgD-u-chad-neVzar  king 
of  Bab>lon  to  Rlblah  in  the 
land  of  Ha'math,  where  he  gave 
judgment  upon  him. 

6  Then  the  king  of  BSb'jMon 
slew  the  sons  of  ZeVI-e-ki'ah  in 
Riblah  before  his  eyes-  also  the 
kins  of  BSb'jMon  slew  all  Jne 
nobles  of  Ju'dah.   .  . 

7  Moreover  he  nut  out  Zfcd-e- 
ki'ah's  eyes,  ,and  bound  him 
with  chains,  to  carry  him  to 
B&'jMon. 

8  And  the  Chal-de'ans  burned 
the  king's  house,  and  the  houses 
of  the  people,  with  fire,  and 
brake  down  the  walls  of  Jfc-ru'- 
8&4em. . 

9  ITThep  tteVu-zar-fi'dan  the 
captain  of  the  guard  carried 
away  captive  into  BaVjMon tne 
remnant  of  i£e  people  tjiat  re- 


mained in  the  city,  and  those 
that  fell  away,  that  fell  to  him, 
with  the  rest  of  the  people  that 
remained. 

10  But  NeVu-car-a'dan  the 
captain  of  the  guard  left  of  the 
poor  of  the  people,  which  had 
nothing,  in  tne  land  of  Ju'dah, 
and  gave  them  vineyards  and 
fields  at  the  same  time. 

11  IT  Now  NeVu-chad-reVsar 
king  of  BSb'jMon  gave  charge 
concerning  Jer-e-mi'ah  to  N£b'> 
iMsar-a'dan  the  captain  of  the 
guard,  saying, 

12  Take  him,  and  look  well  to 
him,  and  do  him  no  harm;  but 
do  unto  him  even  as  he  shall 
say  unto  thee. 

13  So  NeVu-zar-fi'dan  the  cap- 
tain of  the  guard  sent,  and  Neo- 
UrshaYban,  Rab'-sa-ris,  and  Ner'- 
gal-sh&*£'zer,  Rab'-mag,  and 
all  the  long  of  Baby-Ion's 
princes; 

14  Even  they  Bent,  and  took 
Jer-e-mi'ah  out  of  the  court  of 
the  prison,  and  committed  him 
unjto  G£d-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'- 
kam  the  son  of  Sha'phan,  that 
he  should  carry  him  home:  so 
he  dwelt  among  ,the  people. 

15  Wow  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  while  he 
was  shut  up  in  the  court  of  the 
prison,  saying, 

16  Go  -and  speak  to  E'bed-mC'- 
lech  the  E-thl-S'pI-an,  saying. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  lg'ra-el;  Behold,  I 
will  bring  my  words  upon  this 
city  for  evil,  and  not  for  good ; 
and  they  snail  be  accomplished 
in  that  day  before  thee. 

17  But  I  will  deliver  thee  in 
that  day.  saith  the  Lobd:  and 
thou  shalt  not  be  given  into  the 
hand  of  the  men  of  whom  thou 
art  afraid. 

18  For  I  will  surely  deliver 
thee,  and  thou  shalt  not  fall  by 
tfje  sword,  out  thy  life  shall  be 
for  a  prey  unto  thee :  because 
thou  hast  put  thy  trust  in  me, 
saith  the  Lord.

guard  took  Jer-e-mi'ah,  and  said 
Unto  him,  The  Lord  thy  God 
hath  pronounced  this  evil  up- 
on this  place. 

3  Now  the  Lord  hath  brought 
it,  and  done  according  as  he 
hath  said:  because  ye  have 
sinned  against  the  Lord,  and 
have  not  obeyed  his  voice,  there- 
fore this  thing  is  come  upon 
you. 

4  And  now,  behold,  I  loose 
thee  this  day  from  the  chains 
which  were  upon  thine  hand. 
If  it  seem  good  unto  thee  to 
come  with  me  into  BaVjr-lon, 
come;  and  I  will  look  well  un- 
to thee:  but  if  it  seem  ill  unto 
thee  to  come  with  me  into  B&b'- 
f~lon,  forbear:  behold,  all  the 
land  is  before  thee :  whither  it 
seemeth  good  and  convenient 
for  thee  to  go,  thither  go. 

5  Now  while  he  was  not  yet 
gone  back,  he  said.  Go  back 
also  to  G&d-a-ll'ah  the  son  of 
A-hl'kam  the  son  of  Sha'phan 
whom  the  king  of  BfibjMon 
hath  made  governor  over  the 
cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  dwell  with 
him  among  the  people:  or  go 
wheresoever  it  seemeth  con- 
venient unto  thee  to  gol  So 
the  captain  of  the  guard  gave 
him  victuals  and  a  reward,  and 
let  him  go.  , 

6  Then  went  Jer-e-mi'ah  unto 
G&i-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hiTcam 
to  Miz'pah ;  and  dwelt  with  him 
among  the  people  that  were  left 
in  the  land. 

7  UNow  when  all  the  captains 
of  the  forces  which  were  in  the 
fields,  even  they  and  their  men, 
heard  that  the  king  of  Bab  y- 
lon  had  made  G€d-a4i'ah  the 
son  of  A-hl'kam  governor  in  the 
land,  and  had  committed  unto 
him  men,  and  women,  and  chil- 
dren, and  of  the  poor  of  the 
land,  of  them  that  were  not  car- 
ried away  captive  to  rlaVf-lon; 

8  Then  they  came  to:  GeVl-a- 
ll'ah  to  Miz'pah,  even  Isti'ma-d 
the  son  of  Ne'th-a-ni'ah,  and 
J5-hfi'nan  and  Jon'a-than  the 
sons  of  Kit-re'ah,  and  Ser-a-i'ah 
the  son  of  TfinTra-meth,  and 
the  sons  of  ETphfii  the  N€-t6ph'- 
a-thite,  and  Jez-a-nfah  the  son 
of  a  Ma'-ach'a-thlte,  they  and 
their  men.  5 

9  And  Gfcd-e-li'ah  the  so*  of 
A-hl'kam  the  son  of  Sha'phan 
sware  unto  them  and  to  their 
men,  saying;  Fear  not  to  serte 
the  CMl-drana:  dwell  in  the 
land,  and  serve  the  king  of 
B&VjMon,  and  it  shall  be  well 
with  vou. 

10  As  for  me,  behold,  I  will 


dwell  at  Miz'pah,  to  serve  the 
ChSl-de  ang,  which  will  come 
unto  us:  but  ye,  gather  ye 
wine;  and  summer  fruits,  and 
oil,  and  put  them  in  tour  ves- 
sels, and  dwell  in  your  cities 
that  ye  have  taken. 

11  Likewise  when  all  the  Jews 
that  were  in  Mtfab,  and  among 
the  Am'mon-ites,  and  in  &"dem, 
and  that  were  in  all  the  coun- 
tries, heard  that  the  king  of 
B&b'jMon  had  left  a  remnant  of 
Ju'dah.  and  that  he  had  set  over 
them  GeU-a-lTah  the  son  of  A-hf- 
kam  the  son  of  Sha'phan ; 

12  Even  all  the  Jews  returned 
out  of  all  places  whither  they 
were  driven,  and  came  to  the 
land  of  Ju'dah,  to  G&ba-lfah, 
unto  Miz'pah,  and  gathered 
wine  and  summer  fruits  very 
much. 

13  If  Moreover  J5-hI'nan  the 
son  of  K&*€'ah,  and  all  the  cap- 
tains of  the  forces  that  were  in 
the  fields,  came  to  Getl-a-H'ah  to 
Miz'pah, 

14  And  said  unto  him,  Dost 
thou  certainly  know  that  BS 'al- 
ls the  king  of  the  Am'mon-ites 
hath  sent  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of 
Neth-a-ni'ah  to  slay  thee  ?  But 
Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hl'kam 
believed  them  not 

15  Then  JMUTnan  the  son  of 
Rfi-re"ah  spake  t6  G€d-a-li'ah  in 
Miz'pah  secretly,  saying,  Let 
me  go,!  pray  thee,  and  I  will 
s)aylsh'ma-el  the  son  of  Ntth 
a-tti'ah,  and  no  man  shall  know 
it:  wherefore  should  he  slay 
thee,  that  all  the  Jews  Which 
are  gathered  unto  thee  should 
be  scattered,  and' the  remnant 
in  Ju'dah  perish? 

16  But  G&l-a-H'ah  the  son  of 
A-hl'kam  said  unto  J5-ha'nan 
the  son  of  KS-re'ah,  Thou  shalt 
not  do  this  thing:  for  thou 
speakest  falsely,  of  Ish'ma-el.

whom  the  king  of  Babylon  had 
made  governor  over  the  land. 

3  lah'ma-el  .also  slew  all  the 
Jews  that. were  with  him,  even 
with  GSd-aJi'ah,  at  Miz'pah,  and 
the  Ch&d&'anfi  that  were  found 
there,  and  the  men  of  war. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass  the  sec-> 
ond  day  after  he  had  slain  GecL- 
a-&'ah,  and  no  man  knew  it,   • 

5  That  there  came  certain 
from  ShS'cbem,  from  ShilOh, 
and  from  Sarmfitf-a,  even  four- 
score men,  having  their  beards 
shaven,  and:  their  clothes  rent, 
and  having  cut  themselves,  with 
offerings  and  incense  in  their 
hand,  to  bring  them  to  the 
house  of  the  Loan. 

6  And  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of 
Neth-a-ni'ah  went  forth  from 
Miz'pah  to  meet  them,  weeping 
all  along  as  he  went:  and  it 
came  to  pass,  as  he  met  them, 
he  said  unto  them,  Come  to 
GM-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hTkam. 

7  And  it  was  80,  when  they 
came  into  the  midst  of  the  city, 
that  Ish'ma*el  the  son  of  NSth* 
a-ni'ah  slew  them,  and  cast 
them  into  the  midst  of  the  pit, 
he,  and  the  men  that  were  with 
him. 

8  But  ten  men  were,  found 
among  them  that  said  unto  Ish'- 
ma-el, Slay  us  not :  for  we  have 
treasures  m  the  field,  of  wheat, 
and  of  barley,  and  of  -oil,  and  of 
honey.  Soheforbare,andalew 
them  not  among  their  brethren, 

9  Now  the  pit  wherein  Ish'ma- 
el  had  cast  all  the  dead  bodies 
of  the  men,  whom  he  had  slain 
because  of  fteU-a-li'ah,  was  it 
which  A'sa  the  king  had  made 
for  fear  of  Ba'a-sha  king  of  Is/- 
ra-el:  and  lsh'ma-el  the  son  of 
fleth-a-ni'ah  filled  it  with  them 
that  were  slain. 

10  Then  Ish'ma-el  carried 
away  captive  all  the  residue 
of  the  people  that  were  in  Miz'- 
pah, even  the  king's  daughters, 
and  all  the  people  that  remained 
in 'Miz'pah,  whom  NSb'u-zar-a'- 
dan  the  captain  of  the  guard 
had  committed  to  GM-a-li'ah  the 
son  of  A.-hi'kam:  and  Ish'ma-el 
the*  sdnof  Neth-a-ni'ah  carried 
them  away  •captive,  and  de- 
parted to  go  over  to  the  Am'-, 
mon-ites. 

11  TOut  when  Ja-ha'nan  the 
on  of.  Ka-re'ah, .  and  all  the 

captains  of  the  forces  that  were 
with  him,. heard  of  all  the.  evil 
that  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth- 
a-ni'ah  had  done,       

12  Then  they  took  •all  the 


bh'm*eLthe40*  of  Ntth*-ni'-j 


ah,  and  found*  him  by  the  great 
waters  that  are  in  Cib'eon^ 

13  Now  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  all  the  people  which  were 
with  Ish'marel  saw  JO-ha'nan 
the  son  of  Ka*S'ah,  and  all  the 
captains  of  the  forces  that  ware 
with  him,  then  they  were  glad. 

14  So  all  the  people  that  Ish'- 
ma-el had  carried  away  captive 
from  Miz'pah  cast  about- and  re- 
turned, and  went  unto.Jd-hfi.' 
nan  the  son  of  KA-rS'ah. 

15  But  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of 
Neth-a-ni'ah  escaped  from  J6- 
ha'nan  with  eight  men,  and 
went  to  the  Am'mon-ites. 

16  Then  took  J5-hS'nan  the 
son  of  Ka-reTah,  and  all  the 
captains  of  the  forces  that  were 
with  him,  all  the  remnant  of 
the  people  whom  he  had  re- 
covered from  Ish'ma-el  the  son 
of  Neih<a-ni'ah,  from  Miz'pah, 
after  that  he  had  slain  GSd-a- 
li'ah  the  son  of  A-hfkam,  even 
mighty  men  of  war,  and  the 
women,  and  the  children,  and 
the  eunuchs*  whom  he  had 
brought  again  from  GIb'e-on 

17  Ahd   they  departed,   and 
dwelt    in    the    habitation    of 
Chim'ham,  which  is  by  Beth' 
le-hem,  to   go  to   enter  into 

18  Because  of  the  Ch&l-drang: 
for.  they  were  afraid  of  them, 
because  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of 
Neth-a?ni'ah  had  slain  €eUa-li'- 
ah  the  son  of  A-hrkam,  whom 
the  king  of  B&b'jMon  made  gov- 
ernor in  the  land.

fou,  I  will  declare  it  unto  you; 
will  keep  nothing  back  from 
you. 

5  Then  they  said  to  Jer-e- 
mi'ah,  The  Lord  be  a  true  and 
faithful  witness  between  us,  if 
we  do  not  even  according  to  all 
things  for  the  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  shall  send  thee  to  us. 

6  Whether  it  be  good,  or 
whether  it  be  evil,  we  wfll  obey 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  our  God, 
to  whom  we  send  thee;  that  it 
may  be  well  with  us,  when  we 
obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord  our 
God 

7  HAnd  it  came  to  pass  after 
ten  days,  that  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah. 

8  Then  called  he  Jd-hfi'nan 
the  son  of  Kd-re'ah,  and  all  the 
captains  of  the  forces  which 
were  with  him,  and  all  the  peo- 
ple from  the  least  even  to  the 
greatest, 

9  And  said  unto  them,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  unto  whom  ye  sent  me  to 
present  your  supplication  before 

10  If  ye  will  still  abide  in  this 
land,  then  will  I  build  you,  and 
not  pull  you  down,  and  I  will 
plant  you,  and  not  pluck  you 
up :  for  I  repent  me  of  the  evil 
that  I  have  done  unto  you. 

11  Be  not  afraid  of  the  king 
of  B&b'jMon,  of  whom  ye  are 
afraid;  be  not  afraid  of  him, 
saith  the  Lord:  for  I  am  with 
you  to  save  you,  and  to  deliver 
you  from  his  hand. 

12  And  I  will  shew  mercies 
unto  you,  that  he  may  have 
mercy  upon  you,  and  cause  you 
to  return  to  your  own  land. 

13  But  if  ye  say,  We  will  not 


14  Saying,  No;  but  we  will 
go  into  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
where  we  shall  see  no  war,  nor 
hear  the  sound  of  the  trumpet, 
nor  have  hunger  of  bread;  and 
there  will  we  dwell : 

15  And  now  therefore  hear 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  ye  rem- 
nant of  Ju'dah ;  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Isra- 
el ;  If  ye  wholly  set  your  faces 
to  enter  into  K'gjrpt,  and  go  to 
sojourn  there; 

16  Then  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  the  sword,  which  ye  feared, 
shall  overtake  you  there  in  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  and  the  famine, 
whereof  ye  were  afraid,  shall 
follow  close  after  you  there  in 
E'fefpt;  and  there  ye  shall  die. 

17  So  shall  it  be  with  all  the 
men  that  set  their  faces  to  go 

742 


into  E'&fpt  to  sojourn  there; 
they  shall  die  by  the  sword,  by 
the  famine,  ana  by  the  pesti- 
lence :  and  none  of  them  shall 
remain  or  escape  from  the  evil 
that  I  will  bring  upon  them. 

18  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is/ra-d;  As 
mine  anger  and  my  fury  hath 
been  poured  forth  upon  the  in- 
habitants of  J8-ru'sa-lem ;  so 
shall  my  fury  be  poured  forth 
upon  you,  when  ye  shall  enter 
into  B'gjfpt :  and  ye  shall  be  an 
execration,  and  an  astonish- 
ment, and  a  curse,  and  a  re- 
proach; and  ye  shall  see  this 
place  no  more. 

19  TThe  Lord  hath  said  con- 
cerning you,  0  ye  remnant  of 

tinto&'tfpt: 
know  certainly  that   I   have 


admonished  you  this  day. 

20  For  ye  dissembled  in  your 
hearts,  when  ye  sent  me  unto 
the  Lord  your  God,  saying,  Pray 
for  us  unto  the  Lord  our  God ; 
and  according  unto  all  that  the 
Lord  our  God  shall  say,  so  de- 
clare unto  us,  and  we  will  do  it 

21  And  now  I  have  this  day 
declared  it  to  you ;  but  ye  have 
not  obeyed  the  voice  of  the 
Lord  your  God,  nor  anything 
for  the  which  he  hath  sent  me 
unto  you. 

22  Now  therefore  know  cer- 
tainly that  ye  shall  die  by  the 
sword,  by  the  famine,  and  by 
the  pestilence,  in  the  place 
whither  ye  desire  to  go  and  to 
sojourn.

5  But  Jd-hS'nan  the  son  of

are  for  captivity  to  captivity; 
and  such  as  are  for  the  sword

and  he  shall  burn  them,  and  car- 
ry them  away  captives :  and  he

of  fiTgypt,  which  dwell  at  Ifig"- 
dolt  and  at  Tah'pan-rhe*,  and  at 


Noph,  and'  in  the  country  of 
Ptth'rds,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord*  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Igtael;  Ye 
have  seen  all  the  evil  that  I 
have  brought  upon  J&ru's&lem, 
and  upon  all  the  cities  of  Ju'- 
dah; and,  behold,  this  day  they 
are  a  desolation,  and  no  man 
dwelleth  therein, 

3  Because  of  their  wickedness 
which  they  have  committed  to 
provoke  me  to  anger,  in  that  they 
went  to  burn  incense,  and  to 
serve  other  gods,  whom  they 
knew  not,  neither  they,  ye,  not 
your  fathers. 

4  Howbeit  I  sent  unto  you  all 
my  servants  the  prophets,  ris- 
ing early  and  sending  them, 
saying,  Oh,  do  not  this  abom- 
inable thing  that  I  hate. 

5  But  they  hearkened  not,  nor 
inclined  their  ear  to  turn  from 
their  wickedness,  to  burn  no  in- 
cense unto  other  gods. 

6  Wherefore  iriy  fury  and 
mine  anger  was  poured  forth, 
and  was. kindled  in  the  Cities 
of -Ju'dah  and  in  the  -streets  of 
Jt*cg'sa>leni;  and  they  are  wast- 
ed and  desolate,  as  at  this  day* 

7  Therefore  new  thus,  saith 
the  Lord,  the  God  of  hosts,  the 
God  of  Is/ra-el ;  Wherefore  com- 
mit ye  this  great  evil  against 
your  souls*  to  cut  off  from  you 
man  and  woman,  child  and  suck- 
lings but  of  Ju'dah,  to  leave  you 
none  to  remain ; 

8  In  that  ye  provoke  me  unto 
wrath  with  the  works  of  your 
hands,  burning  incense  unto 
other  gods  in  the  land  of  Egypt, 
whither  ye  be  gone  to  dwell* 
that  ye  •  might  cut  yourselves 
off,  and  that  ye  might  be  a 
curse  and  a  reproach  among  all 
the  nations  of  the  earth  ? 

9  Have  ye  forgotten  the  wick- 
edness of  your  fathers,  and  the 
wickedness  of  the  kings  of  Ju'- 
dah, and  the  wickedness  of  their 
wives;  and  your  own  wicked- 
ness, and  the  wickedness  of  your 
wives,  which  they  have  com- 
mitted in  the  land  of  Ju'dah, 
and  in  the  streets  of  JS-ru/saV 
lem? 

10  They  are  not  humbled  even 
unto  this  day,  neither  have  they 
feared,  nor  walked  in  my  law, 
nor  in  my  statutes,  that  I  set 
before  you4  and  before  your  fa- 
thers. 

11  HTherefore  thus  saith  the 
Lout*  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Isra- 
el ;  Behold,  1  will  set  my  face 
against  you  for  evil,  and  to  cut 
off  all  Ju'dah.       ,:

nant  of  Jii'dah,  that  nave  set 
their  faces  to  go  into  the  land 
of  ffgypt  to  sojourn  there,  and 
they  shall  all  he  consumed,  and 
fall  in  the  land  of  E'gfi* ;  they 
shall  even  be  consumed  by  the 
swbrd  and  by  the  famine :  they 
shaH  die,  from  the  least  even 
unto  the  greatest,  by  the  sword 
and  by  the  famine:  and  they 
shall  be  an  .execration,  and  an 
astonishment,  and;  ay  curse,  and 
a  reproach. 

13  For  I  will  punish  them  that 
dwell  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  as 
I  have,  punished  J£-ru'sa-lem, 
by  the  sword,  by  the  famine, 
and  by  the  pestilence :' 

14  So  that  none  of  the  rem* 
nant  of  Jfi'dah,  Which  are. gone 
into:  the  land  of  E'gypt  to  so- 
journ there,  shall  escape  or  re- 
main, that  they  should  return 
into,  the  land  of  Jfl'dah,  to  the 
which  they  have  a  desire  to  re* 
turn  to  dwell  there:  for  none 
shall  return. but  such  as  shall 
escape. 

15  UThen  all  the  men  which 
knew  that  their  wives  had 
burned  incense  unto  other  gods, 
and  aH  the  women  that  stood 
by,  a  great  multitude,  even  all 
the  .people  that:  dwelt  in  the 
land  of  E'gyptv  in  Path'ros,  a* 
swered  Je'r-e-mi'ah,  saying, 

.  16  Ae  for  the*  word  that 
thou  hast  spoken  unto  us  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord;  we  will  not 
hearken  unto  thee. 

17;  But  we  will  certainly  do 
whatsoever  thing,  goeth  forth 
out  of  our  own  mouth,  to  burn 
incense  urito  the  queen  of  heav- 
en, and  to  pour  out  drink  offer* 
ings  unto  her,  as  we  have  done, 
wey  and  our  fathers,  our  kings, 
and  our  princes,  in  the  cities  of 
Ju'dah,  and  in  the  streets  of 
J&ru'sft-lem :  for  then  had  we 
ptenty  of  victuals,  and  were 
well,  and  saw  no  evil. 

18-  But  since  we  left  off  to 
bum  <incense  to  the  queen  of 
heaven;  and*  to  pour  out  drink 
offerings  unto  her,  we  have 
wanted  all  things,  and  have 
been  consumed  by  tile  sword 
and  by  the  famine. 

19  And  when  we  burned  in- 
cense to  the  queen  of  heaven, 
and  poured  out1  drink  offerings 
unto  hen,  did  we  make  her  cakes 
to  worship  her,  and  pour  out 
drink  offerings  unto  her,  with* 
out  our  men?         • 

20  1  Then  Je'r-e-mi'ah  said  «n» 
to  all  the  people,  to  the  men;  and 
to  the  women,  and  to  all  the 
people  which  had*  given  him 
that  answer^  saying, « 


21  The  incense  that  ye  burned 
in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  in 
the  streets  of  J£-ru's£-i$m»  ye, 
and  your  fathers,  your  kings, 
and  your  princes,  and  the  peo- 
ple of  the  land,  did  not  the  Lord 
remember  them,  and  came  it 
not  into  his  mind? 

22  So  that  the  Lord  could  no 
longer  bear,  because  of  the  evil 
of  your  doings,  and  because  of 
the  abominations  which  ye  have 
committed;  therefore  n  your 
land  a  desolation,  and  an  aston- 
ishment, and  a  curse,  without 

in  inhabitant,  as  at  this  day. 

23  Because  ye  have  burned  in- 
cense, and  because  ye  have 
sinned  against  the  Lord,  and 
have  not- obeyed  the  voice  of 
the  Lord,  nor  walked  in  his 
law,  nor  in  his  statutes,  nor  in 
his  testimonies;  therefore  this 
evil  is  happened  unto  you,  as  at 
this  day. 

24  Moreover  Jer-e-mi'ah  said 
unto  all  the  people,  and  to  all 
the  women.  Hear  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  all  Ju'dah  that  are 
inthelandoffirgypt: 

25  Thus  aaith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is/ra-el,  say* 
ing;  Ye  and. your  wives  have 
both  spoken  with  your  mouths, 
and  fulfilled  with  your  hand, 
saying,  We  will  surely  perform 
our  vows  that  we  have  vowed, 
to  burn  incense  to  the  queen  of 
heaven,  and  to  pour  out  drink 
offerings  unto  her:  ye  will 
surely  accomplish  your  vows, 
and  surely  perform  your  vows. 

26  Therefore  hear  ye  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  all  Ju'dah  that 
dwell  in  the  land  of  Cjfrpt; 
Behold,  I  have  sworn  by  my 
great  name,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  my  name  shall  no  more 
be  named  in  the  mouth. of  any 
man  of  Ju'dah  ra  all  the  land 
of  fi'gypt»  saying,  The  Lord 
God  hvethv 

27  Behold,  I  will  watch  ever 
them  for  evil,  and  not  for  good: 
and  all  the  men  of  Ju'dah  that 
are  in  the  land  of  ffgypt  shall 
be  consumed  by  the  sword  and 
by  this  famine,  until  there  be 
an  end  of  them.    - 

28  Yet  a  small  number  that 
escape  the  sword  shall  return 
out  of  the  land  of  Egypt  into 
the  land  of  Ju'dah,  and  all  the 
remnant  of  Ju'dah,  that  are 
gone  into  the  land  of  E'gjFpt 
to  sojourn  there,  shall  know 
whose  words  snail  stand,  mine; 
ortheir's. 

29  IF  And  this  shaU  be  a  sign 
unto  you,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I

into  captivity:  for  N5ph  shall 
be  waste  and  desolate  without 
an  inhabitant.

it  cometh  out  of  the  north.

turned  back,  and  are  fled  away 
together:  they  did  not  stand, 
because  the  day  of  their  calam- 
ity was  come  upon  them,  and

God  of  IsYa-el,  saith;  Behold,  I 
will  punish  the  multitude  of  N5, 
and  Phft'raSh,  and  E'gypt,  with 
their  gods,  and  their  kings;

trusted  in  thy  works  and  in 
thy  treasures,  thou  shalt  also 
be  taken :  and  Cht'mosh  shall 
go  forth  into  captivity  with  his 
priests  and  his  princes  together. 

8  And  the  spoiler  shall. come 
upon  every  city,  and  no  city 
shall  escape:  the  valley  also 
shall  perish,  and  the  plain  shall 
be  destroyed,  as  the  Lord  hath 
spoken. 

9  Give  wings  unto  Mft'ab, 
that  it  may  flee  and  get  away : 
for  the  cities  thereof  shall  be 
desolate,  without  any  to  dwell 
therein. 

10  Cursed  be  he  that  doeth 
the  work  of  the  Lord  deceit- 
fully, and  cursed  be  he  that 
keepeth  back  his  sword  from 
blood. 

11  f  M5'ab  hath  been  at  ease 
from  his  youth,  and  he  hath 
settled  on  his  lees,  and  hath 
not  been  emptied  from  vessel 
to  vessel,  neither  hath  be  gone 
into  captivity:  therefore  his 
taste  remained  in  him,  and  his 
scent  is -not  changed. 

12  Therefore,  behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I 
will  send  unto  him  wanderers, 
that  shall  cause  him  to  wander, 
and  shall  empty  his  vessels,  and 
break  their  bottles. 

13  And  Mo'ab  shall  be  ashamed 
of  Che'mdsh,  as  the  house  of 
Is/ra-el  was  ashamed  of  Beth'- 
el  their  confidence. 

14  IT  How  say  ye,  We  are 
mighty  and  strong  men  for  the 
war? 

15  MS'ab  is  spoiled,  and  gone 
up  out  of  her  cities,  and  his 
chosen  young  men-  are  gone 
down  to  the  slaughter,  saith 
the  King,  whose  name  is.  the 
Lord  of  hosts. 

16  The  calamity  of  Mft'ab  is 
near  to  come,  and  his  affliction 
hasteth  fast 

17  All  ye  that  are  about  him, 
bemoan  him ;  and  all  ye  that 
know  his  name,  say,  How  is  the 
strong  staff  broken,  and  the 
beautiful:  rod  1 

18  Thou  daughter  that  dost 
inhabit  Dil)6n>  come  down  from 
thy  glory,  and  sit  in  thirst ;  for 
the  spoiler  of  Mft'ab  shall  come 
upon  thee,  and  he  shall  destroy 
thy  strong  holds.    .  '

ask  him  that  fleet**  and  her 
that  escapeth,  and  say.  What  is 
done?: 

20  Mo'ab  is  confounded;  for  it 
is  broken  down :  howl  and  cry ; 
tell  ye  it  in  Artifin*  that  MCab 
is  spoiled,  . 


21  And  judgment  is  come  up- 
on the  plain  country;  upon 
Hol5n,  and  upon  Ja-ha'zah,  and 
upon  Meph'aAth, 

22  And  upon  Dllrtm,  and  up- 
on N?bd,  and  upon  BStb-dlbla-

23  And  upon  Kir-ta-th&'im, 
and  upon  BSth-ga'mul,  and  up- 
on Bgth-mS'on, 

24  And  upon  K€'ri-6th,  and 
upon  Boz'ran,  and  upon  all  the 
cities  of  the  land  of  MS'ab,  far 
or  near. 

25  The  horn  of  Mo'ab  is  cut 
off,  and  his  arm  is  broken,  saith 
the  Lord. 

26  If  Make  ye  him  drunken :  for 
he  magnified  himself  against 
the  Lord:  MS'ab  also  shall  wal- 
low in  his  vomit,  and  he  also 
shall  be  in  derision. 

27  For  was  not  ls/ra-el  a  de- 
rision unto  thee?  was  he  found 
among  thieves?  for  since  thou 
spakest  of  him,  thou  skippedst 
for  joy. 

28  0  ye  that  dwell  in  Mo'ab, 
leave  the  cities,  and  dwell  in 
the  rock,  and  be  like  the  dove 
that  maketh  her  nest  in  the 
sides  of  the  hole's  mouth. 

29  We  have  heard  the  pride  of 
Mo'ab,  (he  is  exceeding  proud) 
his  loftiness,  and  his  arrogancjr, 
and  his  pride,  and  the  haughti- 
ness of  his  heart 

36  1  know  his  wrath,  saith  the 
Lord;  but  it  shall  not  be  so; 
his  lies  shall  not  so  effect  it> 

31  Therefore  will  I  howl  for 
MS'ab,  and  I  will  cry  out  for  all 
M&'ab ;  mine  heart  shall  mourn 
for  the  men  of  Kir-he'res. 

32  O  vine  of  Sib'mah,  I  will 
weep  for  thee  with  the  weep- 
ing of  Ji'zer:  thy  plants  are 
gone. over  the  sea,  they  reach 
etien  to  the  sea  of  J&'ser:  the 
spoiler  is  fallen  upon  thy  sum- 
mer fruits  and  upon  thy  vintage. 

33  And  joy  and  gladness  is 
taken  from  the  plentiful  field, 
and  from  the  land  of  M5'ab; 
and  I  have  caused  wine  to  fail 
from  the  winepresses:  none 
shall  tread  with  shouting ;  their 
shouting  shaU  be  no  shouting. 

34  From  the  cry  of  Heah'bdn 
even  unto  &le-aleh,  and  even 
unto  J&'h&z,  have  they  uttered 
their  voice,  from  ZQ'ar  even  un- 
to Hor-o-nalm,  as  an  heifer  of 
three  years  old :  for  the  waters 
also  of  NIm'rim  shall  be  deso- 
late. 

35  Moreover  I  will  cause  to 
cease  in  Mo'ab,  saith  the  Lord, 
him  that  offereth  in  the  high 
places,  and  him  that  burneth 
incense  to  his  gods*

streets  thereof:  for  I  have  bro- 
ken Mo'ab  like  a  vessel  where- 
in is  no  pleasure,  saith  the  Lord. 

39  They  shall  howl,  saying, 
How  is  it  broken  downl  how 
hath  Mo'ab  turned  the  back 
with  shame!  so  shall  Mo'ab  be 
a  derision  and  a  dismaying  to 
all  them  about  him. 

40  For  thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Behold,  he  shall  fly  as  an  eagle, 
and  shall  spread  his  wings  over 
Mo'ab. 

41  Ke'rttth  is  taken,  and  the 
strong  holds  are  surprised,  and 
the  mighty  men's  hearts  in 
Md'ab  at  that  day  shall  be  as 
the  heart  of  a  woman  in  her 
pangs. 

42  And  M6'ab  shall  be  de- 
stroyed from  being  a  people, 
because  he  hath  magnified  him- 
self against  the  Lord. 

43  Fear,  and  the  pit,  and  the 
snare,  shaU  be  upon  thee,  0 
inhabitant  of  MS'ab,  saith  the 
Lord. 

44  He  that  flceth  from  the 
fear  shall  fall  into  the  pit;  and 
he  that  getteth  up  out  of  the 
pit  shall  be  taken  in  the  snare : 
for  1  will  bring  upon  it,  even 
upon  MS'ab,  the  year  of  their 
visitation,  saith  the  Lord. 

45  They  that  fled  stood  under 
the  shadow  of  HeWbdn  because 
of  the  force:  but  a  tire  shall 
come  forth  out  of  H£sh'b5n,  and 
a  flame  from  the  midst  of  Si' 
hon,  and  shall  devour  the  cor- 
ner of  Md'ab,  and  the  crown  of 
the  head  of  the  tumultuous  ones. 

46  Woe  be  unto  thee,  O  Mo'- 
ab! the  people  of  ChS'mdsh 
perisheth:  for  thy  sons  are 
taken  captives,  and  thy  daugh- 
ters captives. 

47  Yet  will  I  bring  again  the 
captivity  of  Mfi'ab  m  the  latter 
days,  saith  the  Lord.  Thus  far 
is  the  judgment  of  M6~ab. 

CHAPTER  49 

Judgment  of  Amnion,  7  Edom.  23  Da- 
mascus, 28  Kedar,  30  Hazor.  34  and 
EXam.    39  Restoration  of  Stam. 

CONCERNING  the  Am'mon- 
ites,  thus  saith  the  Lord; 


Hath  Is/ra-el  no  sons?  hath  he 
no  heir?  why  then  doth  their 
king  inherit  G&d,  and  his  peo- 
ple dwell  in  his  cities? 

2  Therefore,  behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I 
will  cause  an  alarm  of  war  to 
be  heard  in  R&b'bah  of  the  Am'- 
mon-ites;  and  it  shall  be  a  deso- 
late heap*  and  her  daughters 
shall  be  burned  with  fire:  then 
shall  Ia'ra-el  be  heir  unto  them 
that  were  his  heirs,  saith  the 
Lord. 

3  Howl,  O  Heshlidn,  for  A1 
is  spoiled :  cry,  ye  daughters  of 
RfiVbah,  gird  you  with  sack- 
cloth ;  lament,  and  run  to  and 
fro  by  the  hedges;  for  their 
king  shall  go  into  captivity, 
ana  his  priests  and  his  prin- 
ces together. 

4  Wherefore  gloriest  thou  in 
the  valleys,  thy  flowing  valley, 

0  backsliding  daughter?  that 
trusted  in  her.  treasures,  say- 
ing, Who  shall  come  unto  me? 

5  Behold,  I  -will  bring  a  fear 
upon  thee,  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  hosts,  from  all  those  that  be 
about  thee;,  and  ye  shall  be 
driven  out  every  man  right 
forth ;  and  none  shall  gather 
up  him  that  wandereth. 

6  And  afterward  I  will  bring 
again  the  captivity  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mBn,  saith  the  Lord. 

7  IT  Concerning  E'dom,  thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts :  /«  wis- 
dom no  more  in  TS'man?  is 
counsel  perished  from  the  pru- 
dent ?  is  their  wisdom  vanished? 

8  Flee  ye,  turn  back,  dwell 
deep,  O  inhabitants  of  De'dan; 
for  I  will  bring  the  calamity  of 
fiaau  upon  him,  the  time  that 

1  will  visit  him. 

9  If  grapegatherers  come  to 
thee,  would  they  not  leave  some 
gleaning  grapes?,  if  thieves  by 
night,  they  will  destroy  till  they 
have  enough. 

10  But  I  have  made  fi'san 
bare,  I  have  uncovered  his  se- 
cret places,  and  he  shall  not  be 
able  to  hide  himself :  his  seed 
is  spoiled,  and  his  brethren,  and 
his  neighbours,  and  he  ia  not 

11  Leave  thy  fatherless  chil- 
dren, I  will  preserve  them  alive ; 
and  let  thy  widows  trust  in  me. 

12  For  thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Behold,  they  whose  judgment 
i0O«  not  to  drink  of  the  cup 
have  assuredly  drunken;  and 
art  thou  he  that  shall  altogeth- 
er go  unpunished?  thou*  shalt 
not  go  unpunished,  but  thou 
shalt  surely  drink  of  it 

13  For  I  have  sworn  by  my- 
self, saith  the  Lord,  that  Bfif-

rah  shall  become  a  desolation,  a 
reproach,  a  waste,  and  a  curse  5 
and  all  the  cities  thereof  shall 
be  perpetual  wastes. 

14  I  have  heard  a1  rumour 
from  the  Lord,  and  an  ambas- 
sador is  sent  onto  the  heathen, 
saying,  Gather  ye  together,  and 
come  against  her,  and  rise  up 
to  the  battle. 

15  For,  lo,  I  will  make  thee 
small  among  the  heathen*  and 
despised  among  men. 

16  Thy  terribleness  hath  de- 
ceived thee,  and  the  pride  of 
thine  heart,  0  thou  that  dwell- 
est  in  the  clefts  of  the  Tock, 
that  boldest  the  height  of  the 
hill:  though  thou  shouldest 
make  thy  nest  as  high  as  the 
eagle,  I  will  bring  thee  down 
from  thence,  saith  the  Lord. 

17  Also  E'dom  shall  be  a  deso- 
lation: every  one  that  goeth 
by  it  shall  be  astonished,  and 
shall  hiss  at  all  the  plagues 
thereof. 

18  As  In  the  overthrow  of 
Sftd'om  and  Gft-moVrah  and  the 
neighbour  cities  thereof,  saith 
the  Lord,  no  man  shall  abide 
there,  neither  shall  a  son  of  man 
dwell  in  it. 

19  Behold,  he  shall  come  up 
like  a  lion  from  the  swelling  of 
Jdfdan  against  the  habitation 
of  the  strong:  but  I  will  sud< 
denly  make  him  run  away  from 
her :  and  who  is  a  chosen  man, 
that  I  may  appoint  over  her? 
for  who  is  like  me?  and  who 
will  appoint  me  the  time?  and 
who  is  that  shepherd  that  will 
stand  before  me  ? 

20  Therefore  hear  the  counsel 
of  the  LORD)  that  he  hath  taken 
against  E'dom;  and  his  pur- 
poses, that  he  hath  purposed 
against  the  inhabitants  of  Tea- 
man: Surely  the  least  of  the 
flock  shall  draw  them  out :  sure- 
ly he  shall  make  their  habita- 
tions desolate  with  them. 

21  The  earth  is  moved  at  the 
noise  of  their  fall,  at  the  cry 
the  noise  thereof  was  heard  in 
the  Red  «ea.  ' 

22  Behold,  he  shall  come  up 
and  fly  as  the  eagle,  and  spread 
his  wings  over  BoVrah :  and  at 
that  day  shall  the  heart  of  the 
mighty  men  of  E'dom  %t  as  the 
heart  of  a  woman  in  her  pangs. 

23  IT  Concerning  Da-mas'cus. 
Hff math  is  confounded;  and  Ary- 
pad:  for  they  have  heard  evil 
tidings:  they  are  fainthearted; 
there  is  sorrow  on  the  sea ;  it 
eannot  be  quiet 

24  D&m&s'eus  is  waxed  feeble, 
and  turneth  herself  to  flee,  and 


fear  hath  seized-  on  her :  an- 
guish and  sorrows  have  taken 
her,  as  a  woman  in  travail. 

25  How  is  the  city  of  praise 
not  left,  the  city  of  my  joy ! 

26'  Therefore  her  young  men 
shell  fall  in  her  streets,  and  all 
the  men  of  war  shall  be  cut  off 
in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts. 

27  And  I  will  kindle  a  fire  in 
the  wall  of  Da-mas'cus,  and  it 
shall  consume  the  palaces  of 
Ben-ha'dad. 

28  H  Concerning  Ke'dar,  and 
concerning  the  kingdoms  of 
Ha'zdr,  which  NeVu-chad-rfa'zar 
king  of  B&b'jMon  shall  smite, 
thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Arise  ye, 
go  up  to  KS'dar,  and  spoil  the 
men  of  the  east. 

29  Their  tents  and  their  flocks 
shall  they  take  away :  they  shall 
take  to  themselves  their  cur- 
tains, and  all  their  vessels,  and 
their  camels;  and  they  shall  cry 
unto  them,  Fear  is  on  every  side. 

30  %  Flee,  get  you  far  off, 
dwell  deep,  O  ye  inhabitants  of 
Ha'zdr,  saith  the  Lord  ;  for1  NeV 
u-chad-reVzar  king  of  B&b'y-lort 
hath  taken  counsel  against  you, 
and  hath  conceived  a  purpose 
against  you; 

'31  Arise,  get  you  up  unto  the 
wealthy  nation,  that  dwelleth 
without  care,  saith  the  Lord,- 
which  have  neither  gates  nor 
bars;  which  dwell  alone. 

32  And  their  camels  shall  be 
a  booty,  and  the  multitude  of 
their  cattle  a  spoil:  and  I  will 
scatter  into  all  winds  them  that 
are  in  the  utmost  corners;  and 
I  will  bring  their  calamity  from 
all  sides  thereof,  saith  the  Lord 

33  And  Ha'zdr  shall  be  a  dwell- 
ing for  dragons,  and  a  desola- 
tion lor  ever:  there  shall  no 
man  abide  there,  nor  any  son  of 
man  dwell  in  it. 

34  IT  The  word  of  the  Lord 
that  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  the 
prophet  against  Elam  in  the 
beginning  of  the  reign  of  ZeU- 
e-ld'ah  kirig  of  Ju'dah,  saying, 

35  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
host*;  Behold,  I  will  break  the 
bow  of  Clara,  the  chief  of  their 
might 

36  And  upon  Clara  will!  bring 
the  four  winds  from  the  four 
quarters  of  heaven,  and  will 
scatter  them  toward  all  those 
winds;  and  there  shall  be  no 
nation  whither  the  outcasts  of 
ElSm  shall  not  come. 

37  For  I  will  cause  Elfim  to  be 
dismayed  before  their  enemies, 
and  before  them  that  seek  their 
life :  and  I  will  bring  evil  upon

CHAPTER  50 

Certain  destruction  of 'Babylon,    4, 

17. 33  Redemption  of  Israel. 

r\E  word  that  the  Lord 
spake  against  Bfib'jMon  and 
against  the  land  of  the  Ch&l~d?< 
ans.  by  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet 

2  Declare  ye  among  the  na- 
tions, and  publish,  and  set  up  a 
standard ;  publish,  and  conceal 
not:  say,  B&VjMon  is  taken, 
Bel  is  confounded,  MS-rd'dach 
is  broken  in  pieces;  her  idols 
are  confounded,  her  images  are 
broken  in  pieces: 

3  For  out  of  the  north  there 
cometh  up  a  nation  against  her, 
which  shall  make  herland  deso- 
late, and  none  shall  dwell  there* 
in :  they  shall  remove,  they  shall 
depart,  both  man  and  beast 

4  fin  those  days,  and  in  that 
time,  saith  the  Lord,  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  shall  come,  they 
and  the  children  of  Ju'dah  to- 

§  ether,   going   and    weening: 
bey  shallgo,  and  seek  the  Lord 
their  God. 

5  They  shall  ask  the  way  to 
Zi'fin  with  their  faces  thither- 
ward, saying,  Come,  and  let  us 
join  ourselves  to  the  Lord  in  a 
perpetual  covenant  [that  shall 
not  be  forgotten. 

6  My  people  hath  been  lost 
sheep:  their  shepherds  have 
caused  them  to  go  astray,  they 
have  turned  them  away  on  the 
mountains:  they  have  gone 
from  mountain  to  hill,  they 
have  forgotten  their  resting- 
place. 

7  All  that  found  them  have 
devoured  them:  and  their  ad- 
versaries said,  We  offend  not, 
because  they  have  sinned 
against  the  Lord,  the  habita- 
tion of  justice,  even  the  Lord, 
the  hope  of  their  fathers. 

8  Remove  out  of  the  midst  of 
B&b'jMon,  and  go  forth  out  of 
the  land  of  the  Chai-de'ant, 
and  be  as  the  he  goats  before 
the  flocks. 

9  f  For,  lo,  I  will  raise  and 
cause  to  come  up  against  BaV- 
jMon  an  assembly  of  great  na- 
tions from  the  north  country: 
and  they  shall  set  themselves 


in   array   against  her;   from 
thence   she   shall   be   taken: 
their  arrows  shall  be  as  of 
mighty  expert  man ;  none  shall 
return  in  vain. 

10  And  Chfikte'a  shall  be  a 
spoil :  all  that  spoil  her  shall  be 
satisfied,  saith  the  Lord: 

11  Because  ve  were  glad*  be- 
cause ye  rejoiced,  0  ye  destroy- 
ers of  mine  heritage,  because 
ye  are  grown  fat  as  the  heifer  at 
grass,  and  bellow  as  bulls; 

12  Your  mother  shall  be  sore 
confounded;  she  that  bare  you 
shall  be  ashamed:  behold,  the 
hindermost  of  the  nations  shall 
be  a  wilderness,  a  dry  land,  and 
a  desert 

13  Because  of  the  wrath  of 
the  Lord  it  shall  not  be  in 
habited,  but  it  shall  be  wholly 
desolate:  every  one  that  goeth 
by  B&b'jMon  shall  be  aston 
ished,  and  hiss  at  all  her 
plagues. 

14  Put  yourselves   in   array 
against  Bfib'jMon  round  about 
all.  ye  that  bend  the  bow,  shoot 
at  her,  spare  no  arrows:  for  she 
hath  sinned  against  the  Lord. 

15  Shout  against  her  round 
about :  she  hath  given  her  hand 
her  foundations  are  fallen,  her 
walls  are  thrown  down :  for  it 
is  the  vengeance  of  the  Lord  : 
take  vengeance  .upon  her;  as 
she  hath  done,  do  unto  her. 

16  Cut  off  the  sower  from  BaV- 
y-lon,  and  him  that  handleth 
the  sickle  in  the  time  of  har- 
vest :  for  fear  of  the  oppressing 
sword  they  shall  turn  every  one 
to  his  people,  and  they  shall 
flee  every  one  to  his)  own  land. 

17  T  Is/ra-el  is  a  scattered 
sheep;  the  lions  have  driven 
"  m  away:  first  the  king  of  As- 
sjfrl-a  hath  devoured  him;  and 
last  this  NeTHJhchad-rex'zar  king 
of  Bfib'jMon  hath  broken  his 
bones. 

18  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  ls'ra- 
el;  Behold,  I  will  punish  the 
king  of  Bfib'jMon  and  his  land, 
as  I  have  punished  the  king  of 
As-sJrTa. 

19  And  1  will  bring  ls'ra-el 
again  to  his  habitation,  and  he 
shall  feed  on  CaYmel  and  BT- 
shfin,  and  his  soul  shall  be  satis- 
fied upon  mount  E'phrft-Im  and 
Gn'e-ftd. 

20  In  those  days,  and  in  that 
time,  saith  the  Lord,  the  iniq- 
uity of  ls'ra-el  shall  be  sought 
for,  and  there  shall  be  none; 
and  the  sins  of  Ju'dah,  and  they 
shall  not  be  found:  for  I  will 
pardon  them  whom  I  reserve.

21  HGo  up  against  the  land  of 
Mer^a-tha^im,  even  against  it, 
and  against  the  inhabitants  of 
Pelcdd:  waste  and  utterly  de- 
stroy after  them,  saith  the 
Lord,  and  do  according  to  all 
that  I  have  commanded  thee.  . 

22  A  sound  of  battle  is  in  the 
land,  and  of  great  destruction. 

23  How  is  the  hammer  of  the 
whole  earth  cut  asunder  and 
broken!  how  is  B&b'jMon  be- 
came a  desolation  among  the 
nations! 

24  I  hare  laid  a  snare  for 
thee,  and  thou  art  also  taken, 
O  B&b'jMon,  and  thou  wast  not 
aware:  thou  art  found,  and 
also  caught,  because  thou  hast 
striven  against  the  Lord. 

25  The  Lord  hath  opened 
his  armoury,  and  hath  brought 
forth  the  weapons  of  his  indig- 
nation: for  this  is  the  work  of 
the  Lord  God  of  hosts  in  the 
land  of  the  Ch&l-dS'ans. 

26  Come  against  her  from 
the  utmost,  border,  open  her 
storehouses:  cast  her  up  as 
heaps,  and  destroy  'her  utterly : 
let  nothing  of  her  be  left 

27  Slay  all  her  bullocks;  let 
them  go  down  to  the  slaughter : 
woe  unto  them  I  for  their  day  is 
come*  the  time  of  their  visita- 
tion.       • 

28  The  voice  of  ,  them  that 
flee  and  escape  out  of  the  land 
of  Bfib'jMon,  to  declare  in  Zi'dn 
the  vengeance  of  the  Lord  our 
God,  the  vengeance  o£  his  tem- 
ple, 

29  Call  together  the  archers 
against  Bfib'y-lon:  all  ye  that 
bend,  the  bow,  camp  against  it 
round  about ;  let  none  thereof 
escape :  recompense  her  accord- 
ing to  her  work;  according  to 
alfthat  she  hath  done,  do  unto 
her:  for  she  hath  been  proud 
against  the  Lord,  against  the 
Holy  One  of  Is/ra-el. 

30  Therefore  shall  her  young 
men  fall  in  the  streets,  and.  all 
her  men  of  war  shall  be  cut  off 
in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord. 

31  Behold,  I  am  against  thee, 
O  thou  most  proud,  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  hosts:  forthydav 
is  come,  the  time  that  I  will  visit 
thee. 

32  And  the  most  proud  shall 
stumble  and  fall,  ana  none  shall 
raise  him  up :  and  I  will  kindle 
a  fire  in  his  cities,  and  it  shall 
devour  all  round  about  him. 

33  HThus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts;  The  children  of  rs/ra-el 
and  the  children  of  Ju'dah  were 
oppressed  together :  and  all  that 
took  them  captives  held  them 


fast  ;•  they  refused  to  let  then* 
go. 

34  Their  Redeemer  is  strong; 
the  Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name : 
he  shall  throughly  plead  their 
cause,  that  he  may  give  rest  to 
the  land,  and  disquiet  the  inhab- 
itants of  Bflb  y-lon. 

35 HA  sword  is  upon  the 
ChaMg'anfi,  saith  the  Lord>  and 
upon  the  inhabitants  of  Baby* 
Ion*  and.  upon  her  princes,  and 
Upon  her  wise  men. 

36  A  sword  is  upon  the  liars; 
and  they  shall  dote :  a  sword  w 
upon  her  mighty  men ;  and  they 
shall  be  dismayed. 

37  A  sword  is  upon  their 
horses;  and  upon  their  chariots) 
and  upon  all  the  mingled  people 
that  are  in  the  midst  of  her; 
and  they  shall  become  as  wom- 
en: a  sword  is  upon  her  treas- 
ures; and  they  shall  be  robbed. 

38  A  drought  is  upon  her 
waters;  and  they  shall  be  dried 
up:  for  it  is  the  land  of  graven 
images,  and  they  are  mad  upon 
their  idols.     ... 

39  Therefore  the  wild  beasts 
of  the  desert  with  the;  wild 
beasts  of  the  islands  shall  dwell 
there,  and  the  owls  shall  dwell 
therein:  and  it  shall  be  no  more 
inhabited  for  ever;  neither  shall 
it  be  dwelt  in  from  generation 
to  generation. 

40  As  God  overthrew  Sdd'om 
and  G6-m6Vrah  and  the  neigh- 
bour cities  thereof,  saith  the 
Lord  ;  so  shall  no.  man  abide 
there,  neither  shall  any  son  of 
man  dwell  therein. 

41  Behold,  a  people  shall  come 
from  the  north,  and  a  great  na- 
tion, and  many  kings  shall  he 
raised  up  from  the  coasts  of.  the 
earth. 

42  They  shall  hold  the  bow 
and  the  lance:  they  are  cruel, 
and  will  not  shew  mercy :  their 
voice  shall  roar  like  the  sea,  and 
they  shall  ride  upon  horses, 
every  one  put  in  array,  like  a 
man  to  the  battle,  against  thee, 
O  daughter  of  Bab'jMon. 

43  The  king  of  Bab'jMon  hath 
heard  the  report  of  them,  and 
his  hands  waxed  feeble:  an- 
guish took  hold  of  him,  and 
pangs  as  of  a  woman  in  trav- 
ail. 

44  Behold,  he  shall  come  up 
like  a  lion  from  the  swelling  of 
Jdr'dan  unto  the  habitation  of 
the  strong:  but  1  will  make 
them  suddenly  run  away  from 
her :  and  who  is  a  chosen  man, 
that  I  may  appoint  over  her? 
for  who  is  like  me?  and  who 
will  appoint  me  the  time?  and

CHAPTER  51 

Severe  judgment*  of  (Sod  against 
Babylon  in  Tevonge  aflmraek  etc 

THUS  saith  the  Lord;  Be- 
hold* I  will  raise  up  against 
BBb'y-loft,  and  against  them 
that  dwell  in  the  midst  of  them 
that  rise' up  against  me,  a  de- 
stroying wind ; 

2  And  will  send  unto  BSb'y- 
lon  fanners,  that  shall  fan  her, 
and  shall  empty  her  land :  for 
in  the  day  of  trouble  they  shall 
be  against  her  round  about. 

3  Against  him  thai  bendeth 
let  the  archer  bend  his  bow; 
and  against  Mm  that  lifteth 
himself  lip  in  his  brigandine 
and  spare  ye  not  her  young 
men ;  destroy  ye  utterly  all  her 
host.' 

4  Thus  the  slain*  shall  fall  in 
the  land  of  the  Chfil-de'anj,  and 
they  that  are  thrust  through  in 
her  streets. 

5  For  l$'ra-el  hath  not  teen 
forsaken,  nor  Ju'dah  of  his  God, 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts;  though 
their  land  was  filled  with  sin 

Tinst  the  Holy  One  of  f  g'ra~et. 
Flee  out  of  the  midst  of  Bfib'- 
f-loh,  and  deliver  every  man 
his  soul :  be  not  cut  off  in  her 
iniquity ;  for  this  is  the  time 
of  the  Lord's  vengeance;  he 
will  render  unto  her  a  recom- 
pence. 

7  Baby-Ion  hath  been*  gold- 
en cup  in  the  Lord's  hand,  that 
made '  all  the  earth  drunken : 
the  nations  have  drunken  6f 
her  wine ;  therefore  the  nations 
are  mad. 

8  B&b'jMon  is  suddenly  fallen 
and  destroyed:  howl  for  her; 
take  balm  for  her-  pain,  if  so  be 
she  may  be  healed. 

9  We  would  have  healed  Bfib'- 
jMon, but  she  is  not  healed : 
forsake  her,  and  let  us  go  every 
one  into  his  own  country :  for 
her  judgment  reacheth  unto 
heaven,  and  is  lifted  up  even  to 
the  skies.> 

10  The  Lord  hath  brought 
forth  PW  righteousness;  come, 


and  let  us  declare  in  Zi'ffn  the 
work  of  the  Lord  our  God. 

11  Make  bright  the  arrows; 
gather  the  shields:  the  Lord 
hath  raised  up  the  spirit  of 
the  -  kings  of  the  Meoeg :  for 
his  device  is  against  BaVJr-lon, 
to  destroy  it ;  because  it  is  the 
vengeance  of  the  Lord,  the 
vengeance  of  his  temple. 

12  Set  up  the  standard  upon 
the  walls  of  B&tfjMon,  make 
the  watch  strong,  set  up  the 
watchmen,  prepare  the  ambush- 
es: for  the  Lord  hath  both 
devised  and  done  that  which  he 
spake  against  the  inhabitants 
of  B&b'jMon. 

13  0  thou  that  dwellest  upon 
many  waters,  abundant  in  treas- 
ures, thine  end  is  come,  and  the 
measure  of  thy  covetousness, 

14  The  Lord  of  hosts  hath 
sworn  by  himself,  saying,  Sure- 
ly I  will  fill  thee  with  men,  as 
with  caterpillers;  and  they  shall 
lift  up  a  shout  against  thee. 

15  He  hath  made  the  earth  by 
his  power,  he  hath  established 
the  world  by  his  wisdom,  and 
hath  stretched  out  the  heaven 
by  his  understanding. 

16  When  he  uttereth  his  voice, 
there  is  a  multitude  of  waters 
in  the  heavens;  and  he  causeth 
the  vapours  to  ascend  from  the 
ends  of  *  the  earth :  he  maketh 
lightnings  with  rain,  and  bring*, 
eth  forth  the  wind  out  of  bis 
treasures. 

17  Every  man  is  brutish  by 
his  knowledge ;  every  founder 
is  confounded  by  the  graven 
image:  for  his  molten  image 
is  falsehood,  and  there  is  no 
breath  in  them. 

18  They  are  vanity,  the  work 
of  errors:  in  the  time  of  their 
-visitation  they  shall  perish. 

19  The  portion  of  Jft'cob  is 
not  like  them;  for  he  is  the 
former  of  all  things :  and  If- 
rw-el  is  the  sod  of  his  inherit- 
ance :  the  Lord  of  hosts  is  his 
name. 

20  Thou  art  my  battle  ax  and 
weapons  of  war :  for  with  tbee 
will  I  break  in  pieces  the  na- 
tions, and  with  thee  will  I 
destroy  kingdoms; 

21  And  with  thee  will  I  break 
in  pieces  the  horse  and  his 
rider;  and  with  thee  will  I 
break  in  pieces  the  chariot  and 
his  rider; 

22  With  thee  also  will  I  break 
in  pieces  man  and  woman ;  and 
with  thee  will  I  break  in  pieces 
old  and  young;  and  with  thee 
will  I  break  in  pieces  the  young 
man  and  the  maid ;

23  I  will  also  break  in  pieces 
with  thee  the  shepherd  and 
his  flock;  and  with  thee  will  I 
break  in  pieces  the  husband 
man  and  his  yoke  of  oxen ;  and 
with  thee  will  I  break  in  pieces 
captains  and  rulers. 

24  And  I  will  render  unto 
B&b'jMon  and  to  all  the  inhabit- 
ants of  Ch&l-de'a  all  their  evil 
that  they-  have  done  in  Zi'dn 
in  your  sight,  saith  the  Lord. 

25  Behold*  I  am  against  thee, 
O  destroying  mountain*  saith 
the  Lord,  which  destroyest  all 
the  earth :  and  I  will  stretch  out 
mine  hand  upon  thee,  and  roll 
thee  down  from  the  rocks,  and 
will  make  thee  a  burnt  moun- 
tain. 

26  And  they  shall  not  take  of 
thee  a  stone  for  a  corner,  nor  a 
stone  for  foundations;  but  thou 
shalt  be  desolate  for  ever,  saith 
the  Lord. 

27  Set  ye  up  a  standard  in  the 
land,  blow  the  trumpet  among 
the  nations,  prepare  the  na- 
tions against  her,  call  together 
against  her  the  kingdoms  of 
Ar'a-r&t,  Mln'ni,  and  Ash'che- 
naz;  appoint  a  captain  against 
her;  cause  the  horses  to  come 
up  as  the  rough  caterpillera. 

28  Prepare  against  her  the 
nations  with  the  kings  of  the 
Medeg,  the  captains  thereof, 
and  all  the  rulers  thereof,. and 
all  the  land  of  his  dominion. 

29  And  the  land  shall  tremble 
and  sorrow:  for  every  purpose 
of  the  Lord  shall  be  performed 
against  B&b'jHon,  to  make  the 
land  of  B&b'y-lon  a  >  desolation 
without  an  inhabitant 

30  The  mighty  men  of  Baby- 
lon have  f  orborn  to  fight,  they 
have  remained  in  their  holds: 
their  might  hath  failed ;  they 
became  as  women:  they  have 
burned  her  dwellingplaces ; :  her 
bars  are1  broken: 

31  One  post  shall  run  to  meet 
another,  and  one  messenger  to 
meet  another,  to  shew  the  king 
of  BSb'y-lon  that  his  city  is 
taken  at  one  end, 

32  And  that  the  passaged  are 
stopped,  and  the  reeds  they 
have  burned  with  fire,  and  the 
men  of  war  are  affrighted. 

33  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the*  God  of  la'xa-el;  The 
daughter:  of  Babylon  is  like 
a  threshingfioor,  U  is  time  to 
thresh1  her:  yet  a  little  while, 
and  the  time  of  .her  harvest 
shall  come.  - 

34  NSb-u-chad-r&'zaf  the  king 
of  B&b'fr-lon  hath  devoured  me, 
he  hath  crushed  me,  he  hath 


made  me  an  empty  vessel,  he 
hath  swallowed  me  up  like  a 
dragon,  he  hath  filled  his  belly 
with  my  delicate*,  he  hath  cast 
me  out. 

35  The  violence  done  to  me 
and  to  my  flesh  be  upon  Baity 
Ion,  shall  the  inhabitant  of  Zi'- 
5n  say ;  and  my  blood  upon  the 
inhabitants  of  Ch&l-de'a,  shall 
Jg-xu'sa-lem  say. 

36  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Behold,  I  will  plead  thy 
cause,  and  take  vengeance  for 
thee;  and  I  will  dry  up  her 
sea,  and  make  her  springs  dry. 

37  And  BaVf  -Ion  shall  become 
heaps,  a  dwellingplace  for  drag- 
ons,  an  astonisnment,  and  an 
hissing,  without  an  inhabitant 

38  They  shall  roar  together 
like  lions:  they  shall  yell  as 
lions'  whelps. 

39  In  then*  heat  I  will  make 
their  feasts,  and  I  will  make 
them  drunken,  that  they  may 
rejoice,  and  sleep  a  perpetual 
sleep,  and  not  wake,  saith  the 
Lord. 

40  I  will  bring  them  down  like 
lambs  to  the  slaughter,  like  rams 
with  he  goats. 

41  How  is  Sbe'shach  taken! 
and  how  is  the  praise  of  the 
whole  earth  surprised  1  how  is 
B&b'y-lon  become  an  astonish- 
ment among  the  nations ! 

42  The  sea  is  come  up  upon 
B&b'y-lon:  she  is  covered  with 
the  multitude  of  the  waves 
thereof. 

43  Her  cities  are  a  desolation, 
a  dry  land,  and  a  wilderness,  a 
land  wherein  no  man  dwelleth, 
neither  doth  any  son  of  man 
pass  thereby. 

44  And  I  will  punish  Bel  in 
Bab'jMou,  and  I  will  bring  forth 
out  of  his  mouth  that  which  he 
hath  swallowed  up:  and  the 
nations  shall  not  flow  together 
any  more  unto  him:  yea,  the 
wall  of  Bfib'jr-lon  shall  fall. 

45  My  people,  go  ye  out  of  the 
midst  of  her,  and  deliver  ye 
every  man  his  soul  from  the 
fierce  anger  of  the  Lord, 

46  And  lest  your  heart  faint, 
and  ye  fear  for  the  rumour  that 
shall  be .  heard  in  the  land ;  a 
rumour  shall  both  come  one 
year,  and  after  that  in  another 
year  shall  come  a  rumour,  and 
violence  in :  the  land,  ruler 
against  ruler* 

47  Therefore,  behold,  the  days 
come,  that  I  will  do  judgment 
upon  the  graven  images  of  B&b'- 
y-lon :  and  her  whole  land  shall 
be  confounded,  and  all  her  slain 
shall  fall  in  the  midst  of  her.

48  Then  the  heaven  and  the 
earth,  and  all  that  is  therein, 
shall  sing  for  Bfib'jMon :  for  the 
spoilers  shall  come  unto'  her 
from  the  north,  saith  the  Lord. 

49  As  Bfib'jMon  hath  caused 
the  slain  of  fs>a*el  to  fall,  so  at 
Bfib'v-lon  shall  fall  the  slain  of 
all  the  earth. 

50  Ye  that  have  escaped  the 
sword,  go  away,  stand  not  still : 
remember  the  Lord  afar  off, 
and  let  JS-rg'sfi-lem  come  into 
your  mind. 

51  We   are    confounded,    be- 
cause we  have  heard  reproach 
shame  hath  covered  our  faces 
for  strangers  are  come  into  the 
sanctuaries  of  the  Lord's  house. 

52  Wherefore,  behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I 
will  do  judgment  upon  her  grav- 
en images :  and  through  all  her 
land  the  wounded  shall  groan. 

53  Though  BSb'y-lon  should 
mount  up  to  heaven,  and  though 
she  should  fortify  the  height  of 
her  strength,  yet  from  me  shall 
spoilers  come  unto  her,  saith  the 
Lord. 

54  A  sound  of  a  cry  eometh 
from  Bfib'jMon,  and  great  de- 
struction from  the  land  of  the 
Chfil-de'ans: 

55  Because  the  Lord  hath 
spoiled  BSb'y-lon,  and  destroyed 
out  of  her  the  great  voice; 
when  her  waves  do  roar  like 
great  waters,  a  noise  of  their 
voice  is  uttered : 

56  Because  the  spoiler  is  come 
upon  her,  even  upon  Bfib'jMon, 
and  her  mighty  men  are  taken, 
every  one  of  their  bows  is 
broken:  for  the  Lord  God  of 
recompences  shall  surely 
quite.  ' 

57  And  I  will  make  drunk  her 
princes,  and  her  wise  men,  her 
captains,  and  her  rulers,  and 
her  mighty  men :  and  they  shall 
sleep  a  perpetual  sleep,  and  not 
wake,  saith  the  King,  whose 
name  is  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

58  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts;  The  broad  walls  of  Bfib'- 
jMon shall  be  utterly  broken, 
and  her  high  gates  shall  be 
burned  with  fire;  and  the  peo- 
ple shall  labour  in  vain,  and  the 
folk  in  the  fire,  and  they  shall 
be  weary. 

59  t  The  word  which  J&>e- 
mi'ah  the  prophet  commanded 
Ser-a-I'ah  the  son  of  NS-rf'ah, 
the  son  of  M&a-sS'iah,  when  he 
went  with  Z€d-e-ki'ah  the  king 
of  JG'dah  into  Bfib'jMon  in  the 
fourth  year  of  his  reign.  And 
this  Ser-a-i'ah  was  a  quiet 
prince. 


60  So  Jgr-e-ml'ah  wrote  in  a 
book  all  the  evil  that  should 
come  upon  Bfib'jMon,  even  all 
these  words  that  are  written 
against  Bfib'jMon. 

61  And  Jer-e-mTah  said  to  Ser- 
a-fab, When  thou  comest  to 
Bfib'jMon,  and  shalt  see,  and 
shait  read  all  these  words ; 

62  Then  shalt  thou  say,  O 
Lord,  thou  hast  spoken  against 
this  place,  to  cut  it  off,  that  none 
shall  remain  in  it,  neither  man 
nor  beast,  but  that  it  shall  be 
desolate  for  ever. 

63  And  it  shall  be,  when  thou 
hast  made  an  end  of  reading 
this  book,  that  thou  shah  bind 
a  stone  to  it,  and  cast  it  into 
the  midst  of  Eu-phrfi'teg: 

64  And  thou  shalt  say,  Thus 
shall  Bfib'jMon  sink,  and  shall 
not  rise  from  the  evil  that  I  will 
bring  upon  her;  and  they  shall 
be  weary.  Thus  far  are  the 
words  of  Jer-e-mi'ah. 

CHAPTER  52 

Zedekiah  rebels,  4  Jerusalem  is  be- 
sieged and  taken.  8  Zedektah's 
sons  killed.  24  The  captives  car- 
ried away. 

Z&D&KI'AH  was  one  and 
twenty  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign,  and  he  reigned 
eleven  years  in  JS-ru/s§-tem 
And  his  mother's  name  was  HS- 
mu'tal  the  daughter  of  Jer-e- 
mi'ah  of  Lib'nah. 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  Jfr-hoi'a- 
1dm  had  done. 

3  For  through  the  anger  of 
the  Lord  it  came  to  pais  in  Jfi- 
ru/sa-lem  and  Jfl'dah,  till  he  had 
cast  them  out  from  his  presence, 
that  ZeU-e-ki'ah  rebelled  against 
the  king  of  Bfib'jMon. 

4  II And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
ninth  year  of  his  reign,  in  the 
tenth  month,  in  the- tenth  day 
of  the  month,  thai  NCb-u-chad- 
rfeftar  king  of  Bfib'jMon  came, 
he  and  aU  his  army,  against 
JS-ru'sA-lSm,  and  pitched  against 
it,  and  built  forts  against  it 
round  about 

5  So  the  city  was  besieged  un- 
to the  eleventh  year  of  king 
Zed-e-ld'ah. 

6  And  in  the  fourth  month, 
in  the  ninth  day  of  the  month, 
the  famine  was  sore'  in  the  city, 
so  that  there  was  no  bread  ior 
the  people  of  the  land. 

7  Then  the  city  was  broken 
up,  and  all  the  men  of  war  fled, 
and  went  forth  out  of  the  city 
by  night  by  the  way  of  the  gate 
between  the  two' walls,  which 
was  by  the  king's  garden ;  (  now

the  Chfil-dSans  were  by  the 
city  round  about:)  and  they 
went  by  the  way  of  the  plain. 

8  Bat  the  army  of  the  Cbftl- 
de'an*  pursued  after  the  king, 
and  overtook  ZeU-e-kTah  in  the 
plains  of  JSrl-chS;  and  all  his 
army  was  scattered  from  him. 

9  Then  they  took  the  king, 
and  carried  him  up  unto  the 
king  of  BaVf-lon  to  Riblah  in 
the  land  of  Hfi'math ;  where  he 
gave  judgment  upon  him. 

10  And  the  king  of  B&b'jMon 
slew  the  sons  of  ZSd-e-kJ'ah  be- 
fore his  eyes:  he  slew  also  all 
the  princes  of  Ju'dah  in  Riblah. 

11  Then  he  put  out  the  eyes 
of  Z£d-e-ki'ah ;  and  the  king  of 
B&b'y-lon  bound  him  in  chains, 
and  carried  him  to  BaVjMon, 
and  put  him  in  prison  till  the 
day  of  his  death. 

12  ITNow  in  the  fifth  month, 
in  the  tenth  day  of  the  month, 
which  was  the  nineteenth  year 
of  NSb-u-chad-r&'zar  king  of 
BaVjMon,  came  NeVu-zar-S' 
dan,  captain  of  the  guard, 
which  served  the  king  of  BaV- 
jMon, into  J&ru'sft-lem, 

13  And  burned  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  king's  house ; 
and  all  the  houses  of  J€-ru/saV 
lem,  and  all  the  houses  of  the 
great  men,  burned  he  with 
fire: 

14  And  all  the  army  of  the 
Chftl-de'ana,  that  were  with  the 
captain  of  the  guard,  brake 
down  all  the  walls  of  JS-ru'sa- 
lem  round  about. 

15  Then  NeVu-zar-fi'dan  the 
captain  of  the  guard  carried 
away  captive  certain  of  the 
poor  of  the  people,  and  the  resi- 
due of  the  people  that  remained 
in  the  city,  and  those  that  fell 
away,  that  fell  to  the  king  of 
BaVjMon,  and  the  rest  of  the 
multitude. 

16  But  NeVu-zfir-ft'dan  the 
captain  of  the  guard  left  cer- 
tain of  the  poor  of  the  land  for 
vinedressers  and  for  husband- 
men: 

17  Also  the  pillars  of  brass 
that  were  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  bases,  and  the 
brasen  sea  that  was  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  the  Chfil 
dS'ang  brake,  and  carried  all  the 
brass  of  them  to  BaVjMon. 

18  The  caldrons  also,  and  the 
shovels,  and  the  snuffers,  and 
the  bowls,  and  the  spoons,  and 
all  the  vessels  of  brass  where- 
with they  ministered,  took  they 
away. 

19  And  the  basons,  and  the 
firepans,  and  the  bowls,  and  the 


caldrons,  and  the  candlesticks, 
and  the  spoons,  and  the  cups; 
that  which  was  of  gold  in  gold, 
and  that  which  was  of  silver  vn 
silver,  took  the  captain  of  the 
guard  away. 

20  The  two  pillars,  one  sea, 
and  twelve  brasen  bulls  that 
were  under  the  bases,  which 
king  SdTo-mon  had  made  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord:  the  brass 
of  all  these  vessels  was  without 
weight 

21  And  concerning  the  pillars, 
the  height  of  one  pillar  was 
eighteen  cubits ;  and  a  fillet  of 
twelve  cubits  did  compass  it; 
and  the  thickness  thereof  was 
four  fingers :  it  was  hollow. 

22  And  a  chapiter  of  brass 
was  upon  it ;  and  the  height  of 
one  chapiter  was  five  cubits, 
with  network  and  pomegran- 
ates upon  the  chapiters  round 
about,  all  of  brass.  The  sec- 
ond pillar  also  and  the  pome- 
granates were  like  unto  these. 

23  And  there  were  ninety  and 
six  pomegranates  on  a  side; 
and  all  the  pomegranates  up- 
on the  network  were  ah  hun- 
dred round  about 

24  II  And  the  captain  of  the 
guard  took  Ser-a-i  ah  the  chief 
priest,  and  Zeph-a-nl'ah  the  sec- 
ond priest,  and  the  three  keep- 
ers of  the  door : 

25  He  took  also  out  of  the 
city  an  eunuch,  which  had  the 
charge  of  the  men  of  war;  and 
seven  men  of  them  that  were 
near  the  king's  person,  which 
were  found  in  the  city;  and 
the  principal  scribe  of  the  host, 
who  mustered  the  people  of  the 
land;  and  threescore  men  of 
the  people  of  the  land,  that 
were  found  in  the  midst  of  the 
city. 

26  So  NeVu-zar-fi'dan  the  cap- 
tain of  the  guard  took  them, 
and  brought  them  to  the  king 
of  Bab>Ton  to  Riblah. 

27  And  the  king  of  BaVjMon 
smote  them,  and  put  them  to 
death  in  Riblah  in  the  land  of 
Hfi'math.  Thus  Ju'dah  was  car 
ried  away  captive  out  of  his 
own  land. 

28  This  is  the  people  whom 
NeVu-chad-reVzar  carried  away 
captive:  in  the  seventh  year 
three  thousand  Jews  and  three 
and  twenty : 

29  In  the  eighteenth  year  of 
N€b«u-chad-rez'zar  he  carried 
away  captive  from  J§-ru'sa4em 
eight  hundred  thirty  and  two 
persons:

CHAPTER  1 

Jerusalem's  misery  for  her  tins:  12 
•he  bemoans  her  afflictions,  and 
con/esses  her  sins, 

HOW  doth  the  city  sit  soli- 
tary, that  was  full  of  peo- 
ple! how  is  she  become  as  a 
widow!  she  that  was  great 
among  the  nations,  and  prin- 
cess among  the  provinces,  how 
is  she  become  tributary:! 

2  She  weepeth  sore  in  the 
night,  and  her  tears  are  on  her 
cheeks:  among  all  her  lovers 
she  hath  none  to  comfort  her : 
all  her  friends  havedealt  treach- 
erously with  her,  they  are  be- 
come her  enemies. 

3  Ju'dah  is  gone  into  captivity 
because  of  affliction,  and  be- 
cause of  great  servitude:  she 
dwelleth  among  the  heathen, 
she  findeth  no  rest:  all  her  per- 
secutors overtook  her  between 
the  straits. 

4  The  ways  of  Zi'dn  do  mourn, 
because  none  come  to  the  sol- 
emn feasts:  all  her  gates  are 
desolate :  her  priests  sigh,  her 
virgins  are  afflicted,  and  she  is 
in  bitterness. 

5  Her  adversaries  are  the 
chief,  her  enemies  prosper;  for 
the  Lord  hath  afflicted  her  for 
the  multitude  of  her  transgres- 
sions; her  children  are  gone  in- 
to captivity  before  the  enemy. 

6  And  from  the  daughter  of 
Zi'dn  all  her  beauty  is  departed: 
her  princes  are  become*  like 
harts  that  find  no  pasture,  and 
they  are  gone  without  strength 
before  the  pursuer. 

7  J&ru'sa-i£m  remembered  in 
the  days  of  her  affliction  and 
Of  her  miseries  all  her  pleasant 
things  that  she  had  in  the  days 


of  old,  when  her  people  fell,  in- 
to .the  hand  of  the  enemy,  and 
none  did  help  her:  the  adver- 
saries saw  her,  and  did  mock  at 
her  sabbaths. 

8  Je-ru'saVl6m  hath  grievously 
sinned;  therefore  she  is.  re- 
moved :  all  that  honoured  her 
despise  her,  because  they  have 
seen  her  nakedness:  yea,  she 
sigheth,  and  turneth  backward 

9  Her  fflthiness  .is  in  her 
skirts ;  sheremembereth  not  her 
last  end;-  therefore  she  came 
down  wonderfully:  she  had  no 
comforter*  O  Lord,  behold  my 
affliction:  for  the  enemy. hath 
magnified  himself, 

10  The  adversary  hath  spread 
out  his  hand  upon  all  her  pi 
ant  things:  for  she  hath  seen 
that  the  heathen  entered  into 
her  sanctuary,  whom  thou  didst 
command  that  they  should  not 
enter  into  thy  congregation. 

11  All  her  people  sigh,  they 
seek  bread;  they  have  given 
their  pleasant  things  for  meat 
to  relieve  the  soul :  see>  0  Lord, 
and' consider;  for  I  am  become 
vile. 

12  1  Is  it  nothing  to  you,  all 
ye  that  pass  by?  behold,  and  see 
if  there  be  any  sorrow  like  unto 
my  sorrow,  which  is  done  unto 
me,  wherewith  the  Lord  hath 
afflicted  me  in  the  day  of  his 
fierce  anger.  •        . 

13  From  above  hath  he  sent 
fire  into  my  bones;  and  it  pve- 
Vaileth  against  them:  he  hath 
spread  a  net  for  my  feet,  he 
hath  turned  rne  back :  he  hath 
made  me  desolate  and  faint  all 
the  day.

sions is  bound  by  Ms  hand

they  are  wreathed;  and  come 
up  upon  my  neck:  he  hath 
made  my  strength  to  fall,  the 
Lord  hath'  delivered  me  into 
their  hands,  from  whom  I  am 
not  able  to  rise  up* 

15  The  Lord  hath  trodden  un- 
der foot  all  my  mighty  men  m 
the  midst  of  me :  he  hath  called 
an  assembly  against  me  to  crush 
my  young  men:  the  Lord  hath 
trodden  the  virgin,  the  daugh- 
ter of  Jfl'dah,  a*  in  a  winepress. 

16  For  these  things  I  weep; 
mine  eye,  mine  eve  runneth 
down  with  water,  bedause  the 
comforter  that  should  relieve 
my  soul  is  fax  from,  me:  my 
children  are  desolate,  because 
the  enemy  prevailed. 

17  Zi'on  spreadeth  forth  her 
hands,  and-  there-  is  none  to 
comfort  hen  the  Lord  hath 
commanded  concerning  Jfi'cob, 
that  his  adversaries  should  be 
round  about  him:  J&ru's&-lem 
is  as  a  menstruous  woman 
among  them'. 

18  IT  The  Lord  is  righteous; 
for  I  have  rebelled  against  his 
commandment :  hear,  I  pray 
you,  all  people,  and  behokt  my 
sorrow:  my  virgins  and  toy 
young  men  are  gone  into  cap- 
tivity. 

19  I  called  for  my  lovers,  but 
they  deceived  me:  my  priests 
and  mine  elders,  gave  up  the 
ghost  in  the  city,  while  they 
sought  their  meat  to  relieve 
then-  souls, 

20  Behold,  O  Loud  ;  for  I  am 
in  distress :  my  bowels  are  trou- 
bled; mine  heart  is  turned  with- 
in-me;  for  I  have  grievously 
rebelled:  abroad  the  sword  be- 
reaveth,  at  home  there  ie  as 
death. 

21  They  have  heard  that 
sigh :  there  is  none  to  comfort 
me:  all  mine  enemies  have 
heard  of  my  trouble ;  they  are 
glad  that  thou  hast  done  it: 
thou  wilt  bring  the  day  that 
thou  hast  called,  and  they  shall 
be  like  unto  me. 

22  Let  all  their  wickedness 
come  before  thee ;  and  do  unto 
them,  as  thou  hast  done' unto 
me  for  all  my  transgressions: 
for  my  sighs  are  many,  and  my 
heart  t«  faint/

HOW  hath  the  Lord'  cov- 
ered the  daughter  of  2T(m 
with  a  cloud  in  his  anger;  and 
cast  down  from  heaven  unto  the 


earth  the-beauty  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
remembered  not  hit  footstool  in 
the  day  of  his  anger  I 

2  The  Lord  hath  swallowed 
up  all  the  habitations  of  Jfi'cob, 
and  >hath  not  pitied:  he  hath 
thrown  down  in  his  wrath  the 
strong  holds  of  the  daughter  of 
Ju'dah ;  he  hath  brought  them 
down  to  the  ground:  he  hath 
polluted  the  kingdom  and  the 
princes  thereof. 

3  He  hath  cut  off  fn  his 
fierce  anger  all  the  horn  of 
Is/ra-el:  he  hath  drawn  back 
his  right  hand  from  before  the 
enemy,  and  he  burned  against 
Ja'cob  like  a  flaming  fire,  which 
devoureth  round  about 

4  He  hath  bent  his  bow. like 
an  enemy:  he  stood  with  his 
right  hand  as  an  adversary,  and 
slew  all  that  were  pleasant  to 
the  eye  in  the  tabernacle  of  the 
daughter  of  Zi'on:  he  poured 
out  his  fury  like  fire.: 

■  5  The  Lord  wa»  as  an  enemy : 
he  hath  swallowed  up  la'ra-el, 
he  hath  swallowed  up  all  her  pal- 
aces: he  hath  destroyed  his 
strong  holds,  and  hath  increased 
in  thedaughterof  Jfl'dah  mourn- 
ing and  lamentation* 

6  And  he  hath  violently  tak- 
en, away  his  tabernacle,  as  i/ 
it  were  of  a  garden :  he  hath 
destroyed  his  places  of  the  as- 
sembly :  the  Lord  hath  caused 
the  solemn  feasts  and  sabbaths 
to  be  forgotten  in  Zf4n>  and 
hath  despised  -in  the  indigna- 
tion of  his  anger  the  king  and 
the  priest 

7  The  Lord  hath  cast  off  his 
alter,  he  hath  abhorred  his  sanc- 
tuary, he  hath  given  up  into  the 
hand  of  the  enemy  the  walls  of 
her  palace*;  they  have- made  a 
noise  in  the  house  of  the  Low*, 
as  in  the  day  Of  a  solemn  feast 

8  The  Lord  hath  purposed  to 
destroy  the  wall  of  the  daughter 
of  Zi'On :  he  hath  atretched  out 
a  line,  he  hath  not  withdrawn 
his  hand  from  destroying  i  there- 
fore he  made  the  rampart  and 
the  wall  to  lament;  they  lan- 
guished together.

ground ;  he  hath  destroyed  and 
broken  her  bars:  her  king  and 
her  princes  are  among  the  Gen-

prophets  ahofind  no  vision  from 
the  Lord.

when  they  swooned  as  the 
wounded  in  the  streets  of  the 
city*  when  their  soul  was  poured 
out  into  their  mothers'  bosom. 

13  What  thing  shall  I  take  to 
witness  for  thee?  what  thing 
shall  I  liken  to  thee,  O  daugh 
ter  of  Je^ru'sft-lem?  what  shall 
I  equal  to  thee,  that  I  may  com- 
fort thee,  O  virgin  daughter  of 
Zi'On?  for  thy  breach  %s  great 
like  the  sea :  who  can  heal  thee? 

14  Thy  prophets  have  seen 
vain  and  foolish  things  for 
thee :  and  they  have  not  discov- 
ered thine  iniquity,  to  turn 
away  thy  captivity;  but  have 
seen  for  thee  false  burdens  and 
causes  of  banishment 

15  All  that  pass  by  clap  their 
hands  at  thee;  they  hiss  and 
wag  their  head  at  the  daughter 
of  Je^ru'sa-lSm,  saying,  Is  this 
the  city  that  men  call  The  per- 
fection of  beauty,  The  joy  of 
the  whole  earth? 

16  All  thine  enemies  have 
opened  their  mouth  against 
thee;  they  hiss  and  gnash  the 
teeth:  they  say,  We  have  swal- 
lowed her  up?  certainly  this  is 
the  day  that  we  looked  f  or ;  we 
have  found,  we  have  seen  it. 

17  The  Lord  hath  done  that 
which  he  had  devised;  he  hath 
fulfilled  his  word  that  he  had 
commanded  in  the  days  of  old: 
he  hath  thrown  down,  and  hath 
not  pitied :  and  he  hath  caused 
thine  enemy  to  rejoice  over 
thee,  he  hath  set  up  the  horn  of 
thine  adversaries. 

18  Their  heart  cried  unto  the 
Lord,  0  wall  of  the  daughter  of 
Zi'dn,  let  tears  run  down  like  a 
river  day  and  night:  give  thy- 
self no  rest ;  let  not  the  apple 
of  thine  eye  cease. 

19  Arise,  cry  out  in  the  night: 
in  the  beginning  of  the  watches 
pour  out  thine  heart  like  water 
before  the  face  of  the  Lord: 
lift  up  thy  hands  toward  him 
for  the  life  of  thy  young  chil- 
dren, that  faint  for  hunger  in 
the  top  of  every  street. 

20  Behold,  O  Lord,  and  con- 
sider to  whom  thou  hast  done 
this.  Shall  the  women  eat  their 
fruity  and  children  of  a  span 


long?  shall  the  priest  and  the 
prophet  be  slain  in  the  sanc- 
tuary of  the  Lord? 

21  The  young  and  the  old  lie 
on  the  ground  in  the  streets : 
my  virgins  and  my  young  men 
are  fallen  by  the  sword;  thou 
hast  slain  them  in  the  day  of 
thine  anger;  thou  hast  killed, 
and  not  pitied. 

22  Thou  hast  called  as  in 
solemn  day  my  terrors  round 
about,  so  that  in  the  day  of  the 
Lord's  anger  none  escaped  nor 
remained:  those  that  I  have 
swaddled  and  brought  up  hath 
mine  enemy  consumed. 

CHAPTER  3 

The  prophet  bewail*  his  own  calami- 
tie*:  37  hie  humble  eonfemion  of 


I  AM  the  man  that  hath  seen 
affliction  by  the  rod  of  his 
wrath. 

2  He  hath  led  me,  and  brought 
me  into  darkness,  but  not  into 


light 
31 


Surely  against  me  is  he 
turned;  he  turneth  his  hand 
against  me  all  the  day. 

4  My  flesh  and  my  skin  hath 
he  made  old ;  he  .hath  broken 
mv  bones. 

5  He  hath  builded  against  me, 
and  compassed  me  witn  gall  and 
travel. 

6  He  hath  set  me  in  dark 
places*  as  they  that  be  dead  of 
old. 

7  He  hath  hedged  me  about, 
that  I  cannot  get  out:  he  hath 
made  my  chain  heavy. 

8  Also  when  I  cry  and  shout, 
he  shutteth  out  my  prayer. 

9  He  hath  inclosed  my  ways 
with  hewn  stone,  he  hath  made 
my  paths  crooked. 

10  He  was  unto  me  as  a  bear 
lying  in  wait,  and  as  a  lion  in 
secret  places. 

11  He  hath  turned  aside  my 
ways,  and  pulled,  me  in  pieces 
he  hath  made  me  desolate. 

12  He  hath  bent  his  bow,  and 
set  me  as  a  mark  for  the  arrow. 

13  He  hath  caused  the  arrows 
of  his  quiver  to  enter  into  my 
reins. 

14  I  was  a  derision  to  all  my 
people ;  and  their  song  all  the 
day. 

15  He  hath  filled  me  with  bit- 
terness, he  hath  made  me  drunk- 
en with  wormwood. 

16  He  hath  also  broken  my 
teeth  with  gravel  stones,  he 
hath  covered  me  with  ashes. 

17  And  thou  hast  removed  my 
soul  far  off  from  peace:  Iforgat 
prosperity. 

18  And  I  said,  My  strength

and  my  kope  is  perished  from 
the  Lord  : 

19  Remembering  mine  afflic- 
tion and  my  misery,  the  worm- 
wood and  the  gall. 

20  My  soul  hath  them  still'in 
remembrance,  and  ia  humbled 
in  me. 

21  This  I  recall  to  my  mind, 
therefore  have  I  hope. 

22  1LR  ia  of  the  Lord's  •mer- 
cies that  we  are  not  consumed, 
because  his  compassions  fail  not 

23  They  are  new  every  morn- 
ing :  great  ie  thy  faithfulness. 

24  The  Lord  ie  my  portion, 
saith  my  soul ;  therefore  will  I 
hope  in  him. 

25  The  Lord  ie  good  unto 
them  that  wait  for  him,  to  the 
soul  that  seeketh  him. 

26  It  ie  good  that  a  man 
should  both  hope  and  quietly 
wait  for  the  salvation  of  the 
Lord.  . 

27  It  ie  good  for  a  man  that 
he  bear  the  yoke  in  his  youth. 

29  He  sitteth  alone  and  keep- 
eth  silence,  because  he  hath 
borne  it  upon  him. 

29  He  putteth  his  mouth  in 
the  dust ;  if  so  be  there  may  be 


He  giveth  hie  cheek  to 
him  that  smiteth  him:  he  is 
filled  full  with  reproach. 

31  For  the  Lord  will  not  cast 
off  for  ever: 

32  But  though  he  cause  grief, 
yet  will  he  have  compassion  ac- 
cording to  the  multitude  of  his 
mercies. 

33  For  he  doth  not  afflict  will- 
ingly nor  grieve  the  children  of 
men. 

34  To  crush  under  his  feet  all 
the  prisoners  of  the  earth, 

35  To  turn  aside  the  right  of 
a  man  before  the  face  of  the 
most  High,  , 

36  To  subvert  a  man  in  his 
cause,  the  Lord  approveth  not 

37  tWho  ie  he  that  saith,  and 
it  cometh  to  pass,  when  the 
Lord  commandeth  it  not? 

38  Out  of  the  mouth  of  the 
most  High  proceedeth.  not  evil 
and  good  ? 

39  Wherefore  doth  a  living 
man  complain,  a  man  for  the 
punishment  of  his  sins? 

40  Let  us  search  and  try  our 
ways,  and  turn  again  to  the 
Lord. 

41  Let  us  lift  up  our  heart 
with,  our  hands  unto  God  in  the 
heavens. 

42  We  have  transgressed  and 
have  rebelled:  thou  hast  not 
pardoned. 

43  Thou  hast  covered  with 


anger,  and  persecuted  us:  thou 
hast  slain,  thou  hast  not  pitied. 

44  Thou  hast  covered  thyself 
with  a  cloud,  that  our  prayer 
should  not  pass  through.  . 

45  Thou  hast  made  us  as  the 
offscouring  and  refuse  in  the 
midst  of  the  people. 

46  All  our  enemies  have 
opened  their  mouths  against 
us. 

47  Fear  and  a  snare  is  come 
upon  us,  desolation  and  destruc- 
tion. 

48  Mine  eye  runneth  down 
with  rivers  of  water  for  the 
destruction  of  the  daughter  of 
my  people. 

49  Mine  eye  trickleth  down, 
and  ceaseth  not,  without  any 
intermission, 

50  Till  the  Lord  look  down, 
and  behold  from  heaven. 

51  Mine  eye  affecteth  mine 
heart  because  of  all  the  daugh- 
ters of  my  city. 

52  Mine  enemies  chased  me 
sore,  like  a  bird,  without  cause. 

53  They  have  cut  off  my  life 
in  the  dungeon,  and. cast  a 
stone  upon  me. 

54  Waters  flowed  over  mine 
head ;  then  I  said,  I  am  cut  off. 

55  III  called  upon  thy  name, 
O  Lord,  out  of  the  low  dun- 
geon. 

56  Thou  hast  heard  my  voice : 
hide  not  thine  ear  at  my  breath- 
ing, at  my  cry. 

57  Thou  drewest  near  in  the 
day  that  I  called  upon  thee: 
thou  saidst,  Fear  not 

58  O  Lord,  thou  hast  pleaded 
the  causes  of  my  soul;  thou 
hast  redeemed  my  life. 

59  O  Lord,  thou  hast  seen  my 
wrong :  judge  thou  my  cause. 

60  Thou  hast  seen  all  .their 
vengeance  and  all  their  imag- 
inations against  me. 

61  Thou  hast  heard  their  re- 
proach, O  Lord,  and  all  their 
imaginations  against  me; 

62  The  lips  of  those  that  rose 
up  against  me,  and  their  device 

r'nst  me  all  the  day* 
Behold  their  sitting  down, 
and  their  rising  up;  I  am  their 
musick. 

64  Render  unto  them  a  recom* 
pence,  O  Lord,  according  to  the 
work  of  their  hands. 

65  Give  them  sorrow  of  heart, 
thy  curse  unto  them. 

66  Persecute  and  destroy  them 
in  anger  from  under  the  heav- 
ens  of  the  Lord.

HOW  is  the  gold  become  dim! 
how  is  the  most  fine  gold 
changed!  the  stones  of  the 
sanctuary  are  poured  out  in 
the  top  of  every  street 

2  The  precious  sons  of  Zi'5n, 
comparable  to  fine  gold,  how  are 
they  esteemed  as  earthen  pitch- 
ers, the  work  of  the  hands  of 
the  potter! 

3  Even  the  sea  monsters  draw 
out  the  breast,  they  rive  suck 
to  their  young  ones :  the  daugh- 
ter of  my  people  is  became  cruel, 
like  the  ostriches  in  the  wilder- 
ness. 

4  The  tongue  of  the  sucking 
child  cleaveth  to  the  roof  of 
his  mouth  for  thirst :  the  young 
children  ask  bread,  and  no  man 
breaketh  it  unto  them. 

5  They  that  did  feed  delicate- 
ly are  desolate  in  the  streets: 
they  that  were  brought  up  in 
scarlet  embrace  dunghills. 

6  For  the  punishment  of  the 
iniquity  of  the  daughter  of  my 
people  is  greater  than  the  pun- 
ishment of  the  sin  of  S&Tom, 
that  was  overthrown  as  in  a 
moment,  and  no  hands  stayed 
on  her. 

7  Her  NaVa-rites  were  purer 
than  snow,  they  were  whiter 
than  milk, '  they  were  more 
ruddy  in  body  than  rubies,  their 
polishing  was  of  sapphire: 

S  Their  visage  is  blacker  than 
a  coal ;  they  are  not  known  in 
the  streets:  their  skin  cleaveth 
to  their  bones;  it  is  withered, 
it  is  become  like  a  stick. 

9  They  that  be  slain  with  the 
sword  are  better  than  they  that 
be  slain  with  hunger:  for  these 
pine  away,  stricken  through  for 
want  of  tYke  fruits  of  the  field. 

10  The  hands  of  the  pitiful 
women  have  sodden  their  own 
children:  they  were  their  meat 
in  the  destruction  of  the  daugh- 
ter of  my  people. 

11  The  Lord  hath  accom- 
plished his  fury;  he  hath 
poured  out  his  fierce  anger,  and 
hath  kindled  a  fire  in  Zi'6n,  and 
it  hath  devoured  the  founda- 
tions thereof. 

12  The  kings  of  the  earth,  and 
all  the  inhabitants  of  the  world, 
would  not  have  believed  that 
the  adversary  and  the  enemy 
should  have  entered  into  the 
gates  of  J€-ru's£-l£m. 

13  For  the  sins  of  her  proph- 
ets, and  the  iniquities  of  her 
priests,  that  have  shed  the  blood 
of  the  just  in  the  midst  of  her, 

14  They  have  wandered  as 
blind  men  in  the  streets,  they 
have  polluted  themselves  with 

760 


blood,  so  that  men  could  not 
touch  their  garments. 

15  They  cried  unto  them,  De- 
part ye ;  it  is  unclean ;  depart, 
depart,  touch  not :  when  they 
fled  away  and  wandered;  they 
said  among  the  heathen,  They 
shall  no  more  sojourn  there. 

16  The  anger  of  the  Lord 
hath  divided  them;  he  will  rid 
more  regard  them:  they  re- 
spected not  the  persons  of  the 
priests,  they  favoured  not  the 
elders. 

17  As  for  us,  our  eyes  as  vet 
failed  for  our  vain  help:  in  our 
watching  we  have  watched  for 
a  nation  that  could  not  save  u*. 

18  They  hunt  our  steps,  that 
we  cannot  go  in  our  streets: 
our  end  is  near,  our  days  are 
fulfilled;  for  our  end  is  come. 

19  Our  persecutors  are  swifter 
than '  the  eagles  of  the  heaven : 
they  pursued  us  upon  the  moun- 
tains, they  laid  wait  for  us  in 
the  wilderness. 

20  The  breath  of  our  nostrils, 
the  anointed  of  the  Lord>  was 
taken  in  their  pits,  oi  whom  we 
said,  Under  his  shadow  we  shall 
live  among  the  heathen. 

21  Rejoice  and  be  glad,  0 
daughter  of  E'dom,  that  dwell- 
est  in  the  land  of  Oz ;  the  cup 
also  shall  pass  through  unto 
thee:  thou  shalt  be  drunken, 
and  shalt  make  thyself  naked. 

22  The  punishment  of  thine  in- 
iquity is  accomplished,  O  daugh* 
ter  of  Zi'on ;  he  will  no  more 
carry  thee  away  into  captivity 
he  will  visit  thine  iniquity,  O 
daughter  of  E'dom ;  he?  will  dis- 
cover thy  sins. 

CHAPTERS 

A    pitiful   complaint    of  Zion    in 
prayer  to  God. 

REMEMBER,  0  Lord,  what 
is  come  upon  us:  consider, 
and  behold  our  reproach: 

2  Our  inheritance  is  turned  to 
strangers,  our  houses  to  aliens. 

3  We  are  orphans  and  father* 
less,  our  mothers  are  as  widows. 

4  We  have  drunken  our  Water 
for  money;-  our  wood  is  sold 
unto  us. 

5  Our  necks  are  under  perse- 
cution :  we  labour,  and  have  no 
rest 

6  We  have  given  the  hand 
to  the  fi-gyp'tians,  and  to  the 
As-sjrl-ans,  to  be  satisfied  with 
bread. 

7  Our  fathers  have  sinned, 
and  are  not;  and  we  have 
borne  their  iniquities. 

&  Servants  have  ruled  over 
us:  there  is  none  that  doth 
deliver  us  out  of ■  their  hand

OW  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
thirtieth  year,  in  the  fourth 
month,  in  die  fifth  day  of  the 
month;  as  I  was  among  the  cap- 
tives by  the  river-  of  Chrbar, 
that  the  heavens  were  opened, 
and  I  saw  visions  of  God.' 

2  In  the  fifth  day  of  the 
month,  which  was  the  fifth 
yeat  of  king  J&hoi'a-chln's  cap- 
tivityr   • 

3:  The  word  of  the  Lord  came 
expressly  unto  &«£lci-el  the 
priest,  the  son  of  Bfi'zi,  in  the 
land  of  the  Chffl-de'ans.  by  the 
river  Che'bar;  and  the  hand  of 
the  Lord  was  there  upon  him. 

4  ?And  I  looked,  and,  behold\ 
a  whirlwind  came  out  of  the 
north,  a  great  cloud,  and  a  fire 
infolding  itself,  and  a  bright- 
ness was  about  it*  and  out  of 
the  midst  thereof  as  the  colour 
of  amber,  out  of  the  midst  •  of 
the 'fire.  '      - 

5  Also  out  of  the  midst  thereof 
came  the  likeness  of  four-living 
creatures.  And  this  Was  their 
appearance ;  they  had  the  like- 
ness of  a  man. 

6  And  every  one  had  four 
faces,  and  every  one  had  four 
wings.  ' 

7  And  their  feet  were  straight 
feet ;  and  the  sole  of  their  feet 
was  like  the  sole  of  a  calf  s 
foot: '  and  they  sparkled  like 
the  colour  of  burnished  brass. 


8  And  they  had  the  hands  of 
a  man  under  their  wings  on 
their  four  sides;  and  they  four 
had  their  faces  and  their  wings. 

9  Their  wings  were  joined 
one  to  another ;  they  turned  not 
when  they  went;  they  went 
every  one  straight  forward. 

10  As  for  the  likeness  of  their 
faces,  they  four  had  the  race  of 
a  man,  and  the  face  of  a  lion,  dn 
the  right  side:  and  they  four 
had  the  face  of  an  ox  on  the 
left  side ;  they  four  also  had  the 
face- of  an  eagle. 

11  Thus  were  their  faces:  and 
their  wings  were  stretched  up- 
ward ;  two  wings  of  every  one 
were  joined  one  to  another,  and 
two.  covered  their  bodies. 

12  And  they  went  every  one 
straight  forward:  whither  the 
spirit  was  to  go,  thev  went; 
and  they  turned  not  when  they 
went 

13  As  for  the  likeness  of  the 
living  creatures,  their  appear- 
ance was  like  burning  coals  of 
fire,  and  like  the  appearance  of 
lamps:  it  went  up  and  down 
among  the  living  creatures; 
and  the  fire  was  bright,  and  out 
of  the  fire  went  forth  lightning. 

14  And  the  living  creatures 
ran  and  returned  as  the  appear* 
arice  of  a  flash  of  lightning. 

15  IT  Now  as  I  beheld  the  liv- 
ing creatures,  behold  one  wheel 
upon  the  earth  by  the  living 
creatures,  with  his  four  faces.

wheels   and   their   work   was 
like  unto  the  colour  of  a  beryl 
and  they  four  had  one  likeness 
and  their  appearance  and  their 
work  was  as  it  were  a  wheel  in 
the  middle  of  a  wheel. 

17  When  they  went,  they 
went  upon  their  four  sides :  and 
they  turned  not  when  they 
went 

18  As  for  their  rings,  they 
were  so  high  that  they  were 
dreadful ;  and  their  rings  were 
full  of  eyes  round  about  them 
four. 

19  And  when  the  living  crea- 
tures went,  the  wheels  went  by 
them:  and  when  the  living 
creatures  were  lifted  up  from 
the  earth,  the  wheels  were  lift- 
ed up. 

20  Whithersoever  the  spirit 
was  to  go,  they  went,  thither 
was  their  spirit  to  go ;  and  the 
wheels   were   lifted    up    over 

gainst  them :  for  the.  spirit  of 
the  living  creature  was  in  the 
wheels. 

21  When  those  went,  these 
went;  and  when  those  stood, 
these  stood;  and  when  those 
were  lifted  up  from  the  earth, 
the  wheels  were  lifted  up  over 
against  them:  for  the  spirit  of 
the  living  creature  was  in  the 
wheels. 

22  And  the  likeness  of  the 
firmament  upon  the  heads  of 
the  living  creature  was  as  the 
colour  or  the  terrible  crystal, 
stretched  forth  over  their  heads 
above. 

23  And  under  the  firmament 
were  their  wings  straight,  the 
one  toward  the  other :  every  one 
had  two,  which  covered  oti  this 
side,  and  every  one  had  two, 
which  covered  on  that;  side, 
their  bodies. 

24  And  when  they  went,  I 
heard  the  noise  of  their  wings, 
like  the  noise  of  great  Waters, 
as  the  voice  of  the  Almighty, 
the  voice  of  speech,  as  the  noise 
of  an  host:  when  they  stood, 
they  let  down  their  wings. 

25  And  there  was  a  voice  from 
the  firmament  that  was  over 
their  heads,  when  they  stood, 
and  had  let  down  their  wings. 

26  UAnd  above  the  firmament 
that  was  over  their  heads  was 
the  likeness  of  a  throne,  as  the 
appearance  of  a  sapphire  stone : 
and  upon  the  likeness  of  the 
throne  was  the  likeness  as  the 
appearance  of  a  man  above 
upon  it 

27  And  I  saw  as  the  colour  of 
amber,  as  the  appearance  of  fire 
round  about  within  it  from  the 


appearance  of  his  loins  even  up- 
ward, and  from  the  appearance 
of  his  loins  even  downward,  I 
saw  as  it  were  the  appearance 
of  fire,  and  it  had  brightness 
round  about 
28  As  the  appearance  of  the 
bow  that  is  in  the  cloud  in  the 
day  of  rain,  so  was  the  appear- 
ance of  the  brightness  round 
about  This  was  the  appear- 
ance of  the  likeness  of  the 
lory  of  the  Lord.  And  when 
saw  it,  I  fell  upon  my  face, 
and  I  heard  a  voice  of  one  that 
spake.

AND  he  said  unto  me,  Son  of 
man,  stand  upon  thy  feet 
and  I  will  speak  unto  thee. 

2  And  the  spirit  entered  into 
me  when  he  spake  unto  me,  and 
set  me  upon  my  feet  that  I 
heard  him  that  spake  unto  me. 

3  And  he  said  unto  me,  Son 
of  man,  I  send  thee  to  the 
children  of  ls/ra-el,  to  a  rebel- 
lious nation  that  hath  re- 
belled against  me:  they  and 
their  fathers  have  transgressed 
against  me,  even  unto  this  very 
day. 

4  For  they  are  impudent  chil- 
dren and  stiffhearted,  I  do  send 
thee  unto  them ;  and  thou  shalt 
say  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

5  And  they,  whether  they  will 
hear,  or  whether  they  will  for- 
bear, (for  they  are  a  rebellious 
house,)  yet  shall  know  that 
there  hath  been  a  prophet 
among  them. 

6  HAnd  thou,  son  of  man,  be 
not  afraid  of  them,  neither  be 
afraid  of  their  words*  though 
briers  and  thorns  be  with  thee, 
and  thou  dost  dwell  anions; 
scorpions:  be  not  afraid  of 
their  words,  nor  be  dismayed  at 
their  looks,  though  they  be  a 
rebellious  house.

words  unto  them,  whether  they 
will  hear,  or  whether  they 
will  forbear :  for  they  are  most

and  without:  and  there  was 
written  therein  lamentations, 
and  mourning,  and  woe. 

CHAPTER  5 

Ezekiel  sots  the  roU:  15  God  thewe 
him  the  rule  effrrovheo*. 

MOREOVER  he  said  unto 
me,  Son  of  man,  eat  that 
thou  findest;  eat  this  roll,  and 
go  apeak  unto  the  house  of  la'- 
ra-eC 

2  So  I  opened  my  mouth,  and 
he  caused  me  to  eat  that  rolL 

3  And  he  said  unto  me,  Son 
of  man,  cause  thy  belly  to  eat, 
and  fill  thy  bowels  with  this 
roll  that  I  give  thee.  Then  did 
I  eat  it;  and  it  was  in  my  mouth 
as  honey  for  sweetness. 

4  1FAnd  he  said  unto  me,  Son 
of  man,  so,  get  thee  unto  the 
house  of  Ia'ra-el,  and  speak  with 
my  words  unto  them. 

5  For  thou  art  not  sent  to  a 
people  of  a  strange  speech  and 
of  an  hard  language,  but  to  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el; 

6  Not  to  many  people  of  a 
strange  speech  and  of  an  bard 
language,  whose  words  thou 
canst  not  understand.  Surely, 
had  I  sent  thee  to  them,  they 
would  hare  hearkened  unto 
thee. 

7  But  the  house  of  IsTa-el 
will  not  hearken  onto  thee;  for 
they  will  not  hearken  unto  me: 
for  all  the  house  of  Ia'ra-el  are 
impudent  and  hardhearted. 

8  Behold,  I  have  made  thy 
face  strong  against  their  faces, 
and  thy  forehead  strong  against 
their  foreheads. 

9  As  an  adamant  harder  than 
flint  have  I  made  thy  forehead : 
fear  them  not,  neither  be  dis- 
mayed at  their  looks,  though 
they  be  a  rebellious  house. 

10  Moreover  he  said  unto  me, 
Son  of  man,  all  my  words  that  I 
shall  speak  unto  thee  receive  in 
thine  heart,  and  hear  with  thine 


11  And  go,  get  thee  to  them 
of  the  captivity,  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  tny  people,  and  speak 
unto  them,  and  tell  them,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God;  whether 
they  will  hear,  or  whether  they 
will  forbear. 

12  Then  the  spirit  took  me 
up,  and  I  heard  behind  me  a 
voice  of  a  great  rushing,  say- 
ing, Blessed  be  the  glory  of  the 
Lord  from,  his  place. 

13  /  heard  also  the  noise  of 
the  wings  of  the  living  creatures 
that  touched  one  another,  and 
the  noise  of  the  wheels  over 
against  them,  and  a  noise  of  a 
great  rushing. 


14  So  the  spirit  lifted  me  up, 
and  took  me  away,  and  I  went 
in  bitterness,  in  the  heat  of  my 
spirit;  but  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
was  strong  upon  me. 

15  IFThen  1  came  to  them 
of  the  captivity  at  Tel-Hub, 
that  dwelt  by  the  river  of  ChT- 
bAr,  and  I  Sat  where  they  sat, 
and  remained  there  astonished 
among  them  seven  days. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  seven  days,  that  the  word 
of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  say- 
ing, 

17  Son  of  man,  I  have  made 
thee  a  watchman  unto  the  house 
of  Is/ra-el:  therefore  hear  the 
word  at  my  mouth,  and  give 
them  warning  from  me. 

18  When  I  say  unto  the 
wicked,  Thou  shalt  surely  die; 
and  thou  givest  him  not  warn- 
ing, nor  speakest  to  warn  the 
wicked  from  his  wicked  way,  to 
save  his  life ;  the  same  wicked 
man  shall  die  in  his  iniquity ; 
but  his  blood  will  I  require  at 
thine  hand. 

19  Yet  if  thou  warn  the 
wicked,  and  he  turn  not  from 
his  wickedness,  nor  from  •  his 
wicked  way,  he  shall  die  in  his 
iniquity;  but  thou  hast  deliv 
erea  thy  soul. 

20  Again,  When  a  righteous 
man  doth  turn  from  his  right- 
eousness, and  commit  iniquity, 
and  I  lay  a  stumblingblocK  be- 
fore him,  he  shall  die :  because 
thou  hast  not  given  him  warn- 
ing, he  shall  die  in  his  sin,  and 
his  righteousness  which  he  hath 
done  shall  not  be  remembered ; 
but  his  blood  will  I  require  at 
thine  hand. 

21  Nevertheless  if  thou  warn 
the  righteous  man,  that  the 
righteous  sin  not,  and  he  doth 
not  sin,  he  shall  surely  live,  be- 
cause he  is  warned;  also  thou 
hast  delivered  thy  soul. 

22  IT  Arid  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  was  there  upon  me ;  and 
he  said  unto  me.  Arise,  go  forth 
into  the  plain,  and  I  will  there 
talk  with  thee. 

23  Then  I  arose,  and  went 
forth  into  the  plain:  and,  be- 
hold, the  glory  of  the  Lord 
stood  there,  as  the  glory  whkh 
I  saw  by  the  river  of  Che'bar: 
and  I  fell  on  my  face.1 

24  Then  the  spirit  entered  in- 
to me,  and  set  me  upon  my  feet, 
and  spake  with  me,  and  said  un* 
to  me,  Go,  shut  thyself  within 
thine  house.  - 

25  But  thou;  O  son  of  man,  be- 
hold, they  shall  put  bands  tipon 
thee,  and  shall  bind  thee  with

among  them:    •  • 

26  And  I  will  make  thy  tongue 
cleave  to  the  roof  of  thy  mouth, 
that  thou  shalt.be  dumb,  and 
shalt  not  be  to  them  a  reprover : 
for  they  are  a  rebellious  house. 

27  But  when  I  apeak  -with 
thee,  I  will  open  thy  mouth, 
and  thou  shalt  say  unto-  them. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  He 
that  hearetlyiet  him  hear;  and 
he  that  forbeareth,  let  him  for* 
bear :  for  they  are  a  rebellious 
house. 

CHAPTER  4 

Bythetypetfa  siege  U  stowed  the 
time  from  Jeroboamls  defection  to 
the  captivity. 

rpHOU  also,  son  of  man,  take 
li'  thee  a  tile,  and  lay-  it  be- 
fore thee,  and  pourtray  upon  it 
the  city,  even  J&ru'sa>lem : 

2  And  lay  siege  against  it,  and 
build  a  fort  against  it,  and  cast 
a  mount  against  it;  set  the 
camp  also  against  it,  and  set 
battering  rams  against  it  round 
about 

3  Moreover  ■  take  thou  unto 
thee  an  iron  pan,  and  set  tojbr 
a  wall  of  iron  between  thee  and 
the  -  city:  and  -set  thy  face 
against*  it,  and:  it  shall  be  be- 
sieged, and  thou  shalt  lay  (siege 
against  it  This  shall  be  4  sigh 
to  the  house  of  Is/ra-et 

4  Lie  thou  also  upon,  thy  left 
side,  and  lay  the  iniquity  of  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el  upon  it:  oo- 
cording  to  the  number  of  the 
days  that  thou  shalt  lie  upon  it 
thou  shalt  bear  their  iniquity. 

5  For  I  hare- laid  upon  thee 
the  years  of  their  iniquity,  ac- 
cording to  the  number  of  the 
days,  three  hundred  and  ninety 
days :  so  shalt  thou  bear  the 
iniquity  of  the  house  of  Ig'ra-el. 

6  And  when  thou  hast  accom* 
plished  them,  lie  again  on  thy 
right  side,  and  thou  shalt  bear 
the  iniquity  of  the  house  Of 
JCdah  forty  days:  I  have  apt 
pointed  thee'  each  day  for  a 
year.   ' 

7  Therefore  thou  shalt  set  thy 
face  toward  the  siege  of  Je-ru'- 
sft-lSm,  and  thine  arm  shall 
be  uncovered,  and  thou  shalt 
prophesy  against  it 

8  And,  behold*  I  will  lay  bands 
upon  thee,  and  thou  shalt  not 
turn  thee  from  one  side  •  to 
another,  till  thou  hast  ended 
the  days  of  thy  siege. 

9  IFTake  thdu  also  unto  thee 
wheat,  and  barley,  and  beans* 
and  lentiles,  atld  millet,  and 
fitches,  and'  put  them  in  one 
vessel*  and  make  thee  bread 


thereof,  according  to  the  num* 
ber  of  the  days  that  thou  shalt 
lie  upon  thy  side,  three  hundred 
and  ninety  days  s halt. thou  eat 
thereof. 

10  And  thy  meat  which  thou 
shalt  eat  shall  be  by  weight, 
twenty  •shekels  a.  day:  from 
time  to-  time  shalt  thou  eat  it 

11  Thou  shah  drink  also  water 
by  measure,  the  sixth  part  of 
an  hin  t  from  time  to  time  shalt 
thou  drink. 

12  And  thou  shalt  ;eat  it  as 
barley  cakes,  and  thou  shalt 
bake  it  with  dung  that  cometh 
out  of  man,  in  their  sight 

13  And  the  Lord  said.  Even 
thus  shall  the  children  of  I|'xs> 
el  eat  their  denied  bread  among 
the  Gen'tilea,  whither  I  will 
drive  them. 

14  Then  said  I,  Ah  Lord  God! 
behold,  my  soul  hath  not  been 
polluted:  for  from  my  youth 
up  even  till  now  have  I  not 
eaten  of  that  which  dieth  of 
itself,  or  is  torn  in  pieces;  nei- 
ther came  there  abominable 
flesh  into  my  mouth. 
.  15  Then  he  said  unto  me,  Lo, 
I  have  given,  thee:  cow's  dung 
for  man's  dung,1  and  thou  shalt 
prepare  thy  bread  therewith. 

16  Moreover  he  said  unto  me, 
Son  of  man,  behold,  I  will  break 
the  staff  of  bread  in  Je*ru's&< 
lent :  and  they  shall  eat  bread 
by  weight  and  with  care;  and 
they  shall  drink  water  by  meas- 
ure, and  with  astonishment : 

17  That  they  may  want  bread 
and  water,  and  be  astonied.  one 
with  another,  and  consume 
away  for  their  iniquity.

Under  the  type  of  hair  is  shewed  the 
judgment  </  Jerusalem  for  rebel-

AND  thou,  son  of  man,  fake 
thee  a  sharp  knife,  take 
thee  a  barber's  razor,  and  cause 
it  to  pass  upon  thine  head  and 
upon  thy  beard :  then  take  thee 
balances  to  weigh,  and  divide 
the  hair. 

2  Thou  shalt  burn  with  fire  a 
third  part  in  the  midst  of  the 
city,  when  the  days  of  the  siege 
are  fulfilled:  and  thou  shalt 
take  a  third  fieri,  and  smite 
about,  it  with  a  knife :  and  a 
third  part  <thou  shalt  .scatter  in 
the  wind ;  and  I  will  .draw  out 
a  sword-  after  them.

them  in  thy  skirts.

5  m  Thus  saHh  the  Lord  God  . 
This  is  J&ru/s&Jem:  I  have  set 
it  in  the  midst  of  the  nations 
and  countries  that  or*  round 
about  her. 

6  And  she  hath  changed  my 
judgteentsinto  wickedness  more 
than  the  nations,  and  my  stat- 
utes more  than  «the'  countries 
that  are  round  about  her:  for 
they  have  refused  my  judg* 
ments  and  my  statutes,  they 
have  not  walked  in  them.  ' 

7  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Because  ye  ttraftti- 
plied  more  than  the  hationsthat 
are  round  about  you,  and  have 
not  walked  in  my  statutes,  nei- 
ther have  kept  my  judgments, 
neither*  have  done  according  to 
the  judgments  of  the '  nations 
that  are  round  about  you ; 

8  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Behold/  I,  even  I» 
dm  against  thee,  and  will  exe- 
cute judgments  in  the' midst  of 
thee  in  the  sight  of  the  nations. 

9  And  I  will  do  in  thee  that 
which  I  have  not  done,  and 
whereunto  I  will  not  do  any 
more  the  like;  because  of  all 
thine  abominations. 

10  Therefore  the  fathers  shall 
eat  the  sons  In  the  midst  of 
thee/and  the  sons  shall  eat 
their  fathers;  and  I  will  exe- 
cute judgments  in  thee,  and  the 
whole  remnant  of  thee  will  I 
scatter  into  all  the  winds.    • 

•  11  Wherefore,  as  I  live,  saith 
the  Lord  God  ;  Surely;  because 
thou  hast  defiled  my  sanctuary 
with  all  *hy  detestable  things, 
and  with  all'  thine  abomina- 
tions, therefore  will  I  also 
diminish  thee;  neither  shall 
mine  eye  sjtare,  neither  will  I 
have  any  pity:    

12  f  A  thud  part  of  thee  shall 
die  with  the  pestilence,  and 
with  famine  shall  they  be  con- 
sumed in  the  midst  of  thee: 
and  a  third  part  shall  fall  by 
the  sword  round  about  thee; 
and  I  will  scatter  a  third  part 
into  all  the''  Winds,  and  I  will 
draw  out  a  sword  after  them. 

13  Thus  shall  mine  anger  be 
accomplished,  and  I  will  cause 
my  fury  to  rest  dpon  them,  and 
I  Will  be  comforted:  and  they 
shall  know  that  I  the  Lord 
have  spoken  it  in  my  zeal,  when 
I  have  accomplished  my  fury  in 
them*.  "■' 

14  Moreover!  will  make  thee 
waste,  and.  a*  teproach  among 


the '  nations  that  are  round 
about  thee,  in  the  sight  of  all 
that  pass  by*       • 

15  So  it  -shall  be  a  reproach 
and  a  taunt,  an  instruction  and 
an  astonishment  unto  the  na* 
tions  that  are  round  about 
thee,  when  I  shall  execute  judg- 
ments in  thee  in  anger  and  in 
fury  and  in  furious  rebukes.  I 
the  LORfrhave  spoken  it. 

16  When  I  shall  send  upon 
them  the  evil  arrows  of  famine, 
which  shall  be  for  their  de- 
struction, wnd  Which  I  will  send 
to  destroy  ^vou:  and  I  will  in- 
crease the  famine  upon  you,  and 
Will  break  your  staff  of  bread: 

17  So  will  I  -send  upon  you 
famine  and  evil  beasts*  and  they 
shall  bereave  thee;  and  pesti- 
lence' and  blood  shall  'pass 
through  thee;  and  I  will  bring 
the  sword  upon  thee.  I  the 
Lord  have  spoken  it.

AND  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying; 

2  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face  to- 
ward the  mountains  of  Is/ra-el, 
and  prophesy  against  them, 

3  And  say,  Ye  mountains  of 
ls/ra-el,  hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord  God;  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  to  the  mountains;  and  to 
the  hills,  to  the  rivers,  and  to

desolate,  and  your  images  shall

nations  whither  they  shall  he 
carried  captives,  because  I  am 
broken  with  their  whorish  heart, 
which  hath  departed  from  me, 
and  with  their  eyes,  which  go  a 
whoring  after  their  idols:  and 
they  shall  lothe  themselves  for 
the  evils  which  they. have  com- 
mitted in  all  their  abominations. 

10  And  they  shall  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord,  and  that  I 
have  not  said  in  vain  that  I 
would  do  this  evil  unto  them. 

11  HThus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
Smite  with  thine  hand,  and 
stamp  with  thy  foot,  and  say, 
Alas,  for  all  the  evil  abomina- 
tions of  the  house  of  le/ra-ell 
for  they  shall  fall  by  the  sword, 
by  the  famine,  and  by  the  pesti- 
lence. 

12  He  that  is  far  off  shall  die 
of  the  pestilence;  and  he  that 
is  near  shall  fall  by  the  sword 
and  he  that  remaineth  and  is 
besieged  shall  die  by  the  fam- 
ine :  thus  will  I  accomplish  my 
fury  upon  them. 

13  Then  shall  ye  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord,  when  their  slain 
men  shall  be  among  their  idols 
round  about  their  altars,  upon 
every  high  hill,  in  all  the  tops 
of  the  mountains,  and  under 
every  green  tree,  and  under 
every  thick  oak,  the  place  where 
they  did  offer  sweet  savour  to 
all  their  idols. 

14  So  will  I  stretch  out  my 
hand  upon  them,  and  make  the 
land  desolate,  yea,  more  deso- 
late than  the  wilderness  toward 
Dib'lSth,  in  all  their  habita- 
tions :  and  they  shall  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  7 

IsraeVs  final  desolation.  .16  Mourn- 
ful repentance  of  those  who  escape. 
23  Under  the  type  of  a  chain  is 
shewed  their  miserable  captivity. 

MOREOVER  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  say- 
ing, 

2  Also,  thou  son  of  man,  thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  unto  the 
land  of  ls/ra-el;  An  end,  the 
end  is  come  upon  the  four  cor- 
ners of  the  land. 

3  Now  is  the  end  come  upon 
thee,  and  I  will  send  mine  an- 
ger upon  thee,  and  will  judge 
thee  according  to  thy  ways,  and 
will  recompense  upon  thee  all 
thine  abominations. 

4  And  mine  eye  shall  not 
snare  thee,  neither  will  I  have 
pity :  but  I  will  recomnense  thy 
ways  upon  thee,  and  thine  abom- 
inations shall  be  in  the  midst 
of  thee:  and  ye  shall  know:  that 
I  am  the  Lord. 


5  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
An  evil,  an  only  evil,  behold,  is 
come. 

6  An  end  is  come,  the  end  is 
come :  it  watcheth  for  thee ;  be- 
hold, it  is  come. 

7  The  morning  is  come  unto 
thee,  0  thou  that  dwellest  in 
the  land:  the  time  is  come,  the 
day  of  trouble  is  near,  and  not 
the  sounding  again  of  the  moun- 
tains. 

8  Now  will  I  shortly  pour  out 
my  fury  upon  thee,  ana  accom- 
plish mine  anger  upon  thee 
and  I  will  judge  thee  according 
to  thy  ways,  and  will  recom- 
pense thee  for  all  thine  abomi- 
nations* 

9  And  mine  eye  shall  not 
spare,  neither  will  I  have  pity : 
I  will  recompense  thee  accord- 
ing to  thy  ways  and  thine  abomi- 
nations that  are  in  the  midst  of 
thee ;  and  ye  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord  that  smiteth. 

10  Behold  the  day,  behold,  it 
is  come:  the  morning  is  gone 
forth;  the  rod  hath  blossomed, 
pride  hath  budded. 

11  Violence  is  risen  up  into  a 
rod  of  wickedness:  none  -of 
them  shall  remain,  nor  of  their 
multitude,  nor  of  any  of  their** 
neither  shall  there  be  wailing 
for  them. 

12  The  time  is  come,  the  day 
draweth  near:  let  not  the  buy- 
er rejoice,  nor  the  seller  mourn : 
for  wrath  is  upon  all  the  multi- 
tude thereof. 

13  For  the  seller  shall  not  re- 
turn to  that  which  is  sold,  al- 
though they  were  yet  alive 
for  the  vision  is  touching  the 
whole  multitude  thereof,  which 
shall  not  return ;  neither  shall 
any  strengthen  himself  in  the 
iniquity  of  his  life. 

14  They  have  blown  the  trump- 
et, even  to  make  all  ready ;  but 
none  goeth  to  the  battle:  for 
my  wrath  is  upon  all  the  multi- 
tude thereof. 

15  The  sword  is  without,  and 
the  pestilence  and  the  famine 
within:  he  that  is  in  the  field 
shall  die  with  the  sword ;  and 
he  that  is  in  the  city,  famine 
and  pestilence  shall  devour  him. 

16  TOut  they  that  escape  of 
them  shall  escape,  and  shall  be 
on  the  mountains  like  doves  of 
the  valleys,  all  of  them  mourn- 
ing, every  one  for  his  iniquity, 

17  All  hands  shall  be  feeble, 
and  all  knees  shall  be  weak  as 
water. 

18  They  shall  also  gird  them- 
selves with  sackcloth,  and  hor- 
ror shall  cover  them;  and  shame

shall  be  removed:  their  silver 
and  their  gold  shall  not  be  able 
to  deliver  them  in  the  day  of

shall  not  satisfy  their  souls,

ornament,  he  set  it  in  majesty 
but  they  made,  the  images. of 
their  abominations  and  of  their 
detestable  things  therein:  there- 
fore have  I  set  it  far  from  them. 

21  And  I  will  give  it  into  the 
hands  of  the  strangers  for  a 
prey,  and  to  the  wicked  of  the 
earth  for  a  spoil ;  and  they  shall 
pollute  it.

will  also  make  the  pomp  of  the

CHAPTER  8 

FbekieF  8  vieion  of  jealousy.  7  Cham- 
ber* of  imager*.  17  God's  wrath 
for  idolatry. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
sixth  year,  in  the  sixth 
month,  in  the  fifth  day  of  the 
month,  as  I  sat  in  mine  house, 
and  the  elders  of  Ju'dah  sat  be- 
fore me,  that  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  God  fell  there  upon  me. 
2  Then  I  beheld,  and  lo  a 
likeness  as. the  appearance  of 
fire:  from  the  appearance  .of 
has,  loins  even  downward,  fire ; 


and  from  his  loins  even  upward, 
as  the  appearance  of  brightness, 
as  the  colour  of  amber. 

3  And  he  put  forth  the  form 
of  an  hand,  and  took  me  by  a 
lock  of  mine  head;  and  the 
spirit  lifted  me  up  between  the 
earth  and  the  heaven,  and 
brought  me  in-  the  visions  of 
God  to  J&ru'saVlem,  to  the  door 
of  the  inner  gate  that  looketh 
toward  the  north;  where  was 
the  seat  of  the  image  of  jeal- 
ousy, which  provoketh  to  jeal- 
ousy. 

4  And,  behold,  the  glory  of 
the  God  of  Is'ra*el  was  there, 
according  to  the  vision  that  I 
saw  in  the  plain. 

5  It  Then  said  he  unto  me, 
Son  of  man,  lift  up  thine  eyes 
now  the  way  toward  the  north. 
So  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes  the 
way  toward  the  north,  and  be- 
hold northward  at  the  gate  of 
the  altar  this  image  of  jealousy 
in  the  entry. 

6  He  said  .  furthermore  unto 
me.  Son  of  man,  seest  thou  what 
they  do?  even  the  great  abom- 
inations that  the  house  of  Is'- 
ra-el committeth  here,  that  ] 
should  go  far  off  from  my  sanc- 
tuary? but  turn  thee  yet  again, 
and  thou  shalt  see  greater 
abominations. 

7  IT  And  he  brought  me.  to:  the 
door  of  the  court;  and  when  I 
looked*  behold  a  hole  in  the 
wall 

8  Then  said  he  unto  me,  Son 
of  man,  dig  now  in  the  wall: 
and  when  I  had  digged  in  the 
wall,  behold  a  door. 

9  And  he  said  unto  me,  Go  in, 
and  behold  the  wicked  abom- 
inations that  they  do  here. 

10  So  I  went  in  and  saw ;  and 
behold  every  form  of  creeping 
things,  and  abominable  beasts, 
and  all  the  idols  of  the  house 
of  Igfca-el,  pourtrayed  upon  the 
wall  round  about. 

11  And'  there  stood  before 
them  seventy  men  of  the  an- 
cients of  the  house  of  la'ra-el, 
and  in  the  midst  of  them  stood 
JMz-a^nrah  the  son  of  Sha'- 
phan,  with  every  man  his  cen- 
ser in]  his  hand-;  and  a  thick 
cloud  of  incense  went  up. 

12  Then  said  he  unto  me,  Son 
of  man,  hast  thou  seen  what  the 
ancients  of  the  house  of  Is/ra-el 
do  in  the  dark,  every  man  in 
the  chambers  of  his  imagery? 
for  they  say,  The  Lord  seeth 
us  not ;  the  Lord  hath  forsaken 
the  earth. 

13  IF  He  said  also  unto  me, 
Turn  thee  yet  again,  and  thou

shalt  see  greater  abominations 
that  they  do. 

14  Then  he  brought  me  to  the 
door  of  the  gate  of  the  Lord's 
house  which  was  toward  the 
north;  and,  behold,  there  sat 
women  weeping  for  Tfim'muz. 

15  IT  Then  said  he  unto  me, 
Hast  thou  seen  this,  O  son  of 
man  ?  turn  thee  yet  again,  and 
thou  shalt  see  greater  abomina- 
tions than  these. 

16  And  he  brought  me  into 
the  inner  court  of  the  Lord's 
house,  and,  behold,  at  the  door 
of  the  temple  of  the  Lord,  be- 
tween the  porch  and  the  altar, 
were  about  five  and  twenty 
men,  with  their  backs  toward 
the  temple  of  the  Lord,  and 
their  faces  toward  the  east; 
and  they  worshipped  the  sun 
toward  the  east 

17  IF  Then  he  said  unto  me, 
Hast  thou  seen  this,  O  son  of 
man  ?  Is  it  a  light  thing  to  the 
house  of  Ju'dah  that  they  com- 
mit the  abominations  which 
they  commit  here?  for  they 
have  filled  the  land  with  vio- 
lence, and  have  returned  to  pro-  iniquity  of  the  house  of  Ifc'ra-el 
voke  me  to  anger :  and,  lo,  they  and  Ju'dah  is  exceeding  great, 


put  the  branch  to  their  hose; 
18  Therefore  will  I  also  deal 
in  fury:  mine  eye  shall  not 
spare,  neither  will  I  have  pity 
and  though  they  cry  in  mine 
ears  with  a  loud  voice,  yet  will 
I  not  hear  them. 

CHAPTER  9 

A  vision,  skewing  the  preservation 
of  the  righteous.  5  and  the"  destruc- 
tion of  the  wicked. 

HE  cried  also  in  mine  ears 
with  a  loud  voice,  saying, 
Cause  them  that  have  charge 
over  the  city  to  draw  near, 
even  every  man  with  his  de- 
stroying weapon  in  his  hand. 

2  And,  behold,  six  men  came 
from  the  way  of  the  higher 
gate,  which  lieth  toward  the 
north,  and  every  man  a  slaugh- 
ter weapon  in  his  hand ;  and 
one  man  among  them  was 
clothed  with  linen,  with  a  writ- 
er's inkhorn  by  his  side:  and 
they  went  in,  and  stood  beside 
the  brasen  altar. 

$  And  the  glory  of  the  God  of 
Ig'ra-el  was  gone  up  from  the 
cherub,  whereupon  he  was,  to 
the  threshold  of  the  house. 
And  he  called  to  the  man 
clothed  with  linen,  which  had 
the  writer's  inkhorn  by  his  side; 

4  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
him,  Go  through  the  midst  of 
the  city,  through  the  midst  of 
Je>ru'3a4£ra,  and'  set  a  mark 
upon  the  foreheads,  of  the  men 


that  sigh  and  that  cry  for  all 
the  abominations  that  be  done 
in  the  midst  thereof. 

5  And  to  the  others  he  said  in 
mine  hearing;  Go  ye  after  him 
through  the  city,  and  smite: 
let  not  your  eye  spare,  neither 
have  ye  pity: 

6  Slay  utterly  old  and  young, 
both  maids,  and  little  children, 
and  women :  but  come  not  near 
any  man  upon  whom  it  the 
mark ;  and  begin  at  my  sanctu- 
ary. Then  they  began  at  the 
ancient  men  which  were  before 
the  house. 

7  And  he  said  unto  them,  De- 
file the  house,  and  fill  the  courts 
with  the  slain:  go  ye  forth. 
And  they  went  forth,  and  slew 
in  the  city* 

8  t  And  it  came  to  pass,  while 
they  were  slaying  them,  and  I 
was  left,  that  I  fell  upon  m 
face,  and  cried,  and  said,  Al 
Lord  God  !  wilt  thou  destroy  all 
the  residue  of  Is/ra-el  in  thy 
pouring  out  of  thy  fury  Upon 
J&ru'sft-lem? 

9  Then  said  he  unto  me,  The 


and  the  land  is  full  of  blood, 
and  the  city  full  of  perverse* 
ness:  for  they  say,  The  Lord 
hath  forsaken  the  earth,  and 
the  Lord  seeth  not. 

10  And  as  for  me  also,  mine 
eye  shall  not  spare,  neither  will 
I  have  pity,  but  I  will  recohv 

Sense   tneir   way   upon   their 
ead. 

11  And,  behold,  the  man 
clothed  with  linen,  which  had 
the  inkhorn  by  his  side,  reported 
the  matter*  saying,  I  have  done 
as  thou  hast  commanded  me. 

CHAPTER  10 

Vision  of  coals  of  fire  to  be  scattered 
over  the  city.  8  Vision  ofcherubitns, 
and  God's  gbdry  removing,  etc 

THEN  I  looked,  and,  behold, 
in  the  firmament  that  was 
above  the  head  of  the  cheru 
bims  there  appeared  over  them 
as  it  were  a  sapphire  stone,  as 
the  appearance  of  the  likeness 
of  a  throne. 

2  And  he  spake  unto  the  man 
clothed  with  linen,  and  said, 
Go  in  between  the  wheels,  even 
under  the  cherub,  and  fill  thine 
hand  with  coals  of  fire  from  be- 
tween the  chembims,  and  scat- 
ter them  over  the  city*  And  he 
went  in  in  my  sight 

3  Now  the  chembims  stood  on 
the  right  side  of  the  house, 
when*  the  man  went  in;  and 
the  cloud  filled  the  inner  court 

4  Then  the  glory  of  the  Lord.

went  up  from  the  cherub,  and 
stood  over  the  threshold  of  the 
house ;  and  the  house  was  filled 
with  the  cloud,  and  the  court 
was  full  of  the  brightness  of 
the  Lord's  glory. 

5  And  the  sound  of  the  cher- 
ubims'  wings  was  heard  even 
to  the  outer  court,  as  the  voice 
of  the  Almighty  God  when  he 
speaketh. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
when  he  bad  commanded  the 
man  clothed  with  linen,  saying, 
Take  fire  from  between  the 
wheels,  from  between  the  cher- 
ubims;  then  he  went  in,  and 
stood  beside  the  wheels. 

7  And  one  cherub  stretched 
forth  his  hand  from  between 
the  cherubims  unto  the  fire  that 
woe  between  the  cherubims, 
and  took  thereof  and  put  it 
into  the  hands  of  him  that 
woe  clothed  with  linen:  who 
took  it,  and  went  out 

8  IFAnd  there  appeared  in  the 
cherubims  the  form  of  a  man's 
hand  under  their  wings. 

9  And  when  I  looked,  behold 
the  four  wheels  by  the  cher- 
ubims, one  wheel  by  one  cherub, 
and  another  wheel  by  another 
cherub:  and  the  appearance  of 
the  wheels  woe  as  the  colour  of 
a  beryl  stone. 

10  And  as  for  their  appear- 
ances, they  four  had  one  like- 
ness, as  if  a  wheel  had  been  in 
the  midst  of  a  wheel. 

11  When  they  .  went,  they 
went  upon  their  four  sides; 
they  turned  not  as  they  went, 
but  to  the  place  whither  the 
head  looked  they  followed  it; 
they  turned  not  as  they  went 

12  And  their  whole  body,  and 
their  backs,  and  their  hands, 
and  their  wings,  and  the  wheels, 
were  full  of  eyes  round  about, 
even  the  wheels  that  they  four 
had. 

13  As  for  the  wheels,  it  was 
cried  unto  them  in  my  hearing; 
0  wheel. 

14  And  every  one  had  four 
faces:  the  first  face  was  the 
face  of  a  cherub,  and  the  sec- 
ond face  was  the  face  of  a 
man,  and  the  third  the  face  of 
a  lion,  and  the  fourth  the  face 
of  an  eagle. 

15  And  the  cherubims  were 
lifted  up.  This  is  the  living 
creature  that  I  saw  by  the  river 
of  Che'bar. 

16  And  when  the  cherubims 
went,  the  wheels  went  by  them 
and  when  the  cherubims  lifted 
up  their  wings  to  mount  up 
from  the  earth,  the  same  wheels 


also  turned  not  from  beside 
them. 

17  When  they  stood,  these 
stood;  and  when  they  were 
lifted  up,  these  lifted  up  them- 
selves also:  for  the  spirit  of 
the  living  creature  was  in 
them. 

18  Then  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
departed  from  off  the  threshold 
of  the  house,  and  stood  over 
the  cherubims. 

19  And  the  cherubims  lifted 
up  their  wings,  and  mounted 
up  from  the  earth  in  my  sight : 
wnen  they  went  out,  the  wheels 
also  were  beside  them,  and 
every  one  stood  at  the  door  of 
the  east  rate  of  the  Lord's 
house;  ana  the  glory  of  the 
God  of  Is/ra-el  was  over  them 
above. 

20  This  is  the  living  creature 
that  I  saw  under  the  God  of  Is' 
ra-el  by  the  river  of  Che'bar; 
and  I  knew  that  they  were  the 
cherubims. 

21  Every  one  had  four  faces 
apiece,  and  every  one  four 
wings;  and  the  likeness  of  the 
hands  of  a  man  wa*  under 
their  wings. 

22  And  the  likeness  of  their 
faces  was  the  same  faces  Which 
I  saw  by  the  river  of  Che'bar, 
their  appearances  and  them- 
selves: they  went  every  one 
straight  forward. 

CHAPTER  11 

The  prince*9  presumption:  4  their

MOREOVER  the  spirit  lifted 
me  up,  and  brought  me  un- 
to the  east  gate  of  the  Lord's 
house,  which  looketh  eastward! 
and  behold  at  the  door-  of  the 
gate  five  and  twenty  men; 
among  whom  I  saw  JMs-a-nl** 
ah  the  son  of  A'zur,  and  PeW 
ti'ah  the  son  of  B$-nS'iah,  prin-

2  Then  said  he  unto  me,  Son 
of  man,  these  are  the  men  that 
devise  mischief,  and  give  wicked 
counsel  in  this  city: 

3  Which  say,  It  is  not  near;

that  come  into  your  mind,  every

filled  the  streets  thereof  with 
the  slain. 

7  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Your  slain  whom  ye 
have  laid  in  the  midst  of  it, 
they  are  the  flesh,  and  this 
city  is  the  caldron:  but  I  will 
bring  you  forth  out  of  the  midst 
of  it 

8  Ye  have  feared  the  sword; 
and  1  will  bring  a  sword  upon 
you,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

9  And  I  will  bring  you  out 
of  the  midst  thereof,  and  de- 
liver you  into  the  hands  of 
strangers,  and  will  execute  judg- 
ments among  you. 

10  Ye  shall  fait  by  the  sword ; 
I  will  judge  you  in  the  border  of 
la/ra-el ;  and  ye  shall  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord. 

11  This  city  shall  not  be  your 
caldron,  neither  shall  ye  be  the 
flesh  in  the  midst  thereof ;  hut 
I  will  judge  you  in  the  border  of 
Is/ra-el : 

12  And  ye  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord  :  for  ye  have  not 
walked  in  my  statutes,  neither 
executed  my  judgments,  but 
have  done  after  the  manners 
of  the  heathen  that  are  round 
about  you, 

13  IT  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  I  prophesied,  that  P£Ua* 
ti'ah  the  son  of  Be-na'iah  died. 
Then  fell  I  down  upon  my  face, 
and  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  and 
said.  Ah  Lord  God!  wilt  thou 
make  a  full  end  of  the  remnant 
of  Ij'ra-el  ? 

14  U  Again  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

15  Son  of  man,  thy  brethren, 
even  thy  brethren,  the  men  of 
thy  kindred,  and  all  the  house 
of  ls/ra*el  wholly,  are  they  unto 
whom  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'- 
sarl*m  have  said.  Get  you  far 
from  the  Lord  :  unto  us  is  this 
land  given  in  possession. 

16  Therefore  say,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  ;  Although  1  have 
cast  them  far  off  among  the 
heathen,  and  although  I  have 
scattered  them  among  the  coun- 
tries, yet  will  I  be  to  them  as  a 
little  sanctuary  in  the  countries 
where  they  shall  come. 

17  Therefore  say,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God;  1  will  even  gather 
you  from  the  people,  and  assem- 
ble you  out  of  the  countries 
where  ye  have  been  scattered, 
and  1  will  give  you  the  land  of 
la'ra-el. 

IS  And  they  shall  come  thith- 
er, and  they  shall  take  away 
all  the  detestable  things  there- 


19  And  I  will  give  them  one 
heart,  and  1  will  put  a  new  spirit 
within  you;  and  1  will  take  the 
stony  heart  out  of  their  flesh, 
and  will  give  them  an  heart  of 
flesh : 

20  That  they  may  walk  in  mj 
statutes,  and  keep  |mine  ordi- 
nances, and  do  them:  and  they 
shall  be  my  people,  and  I  will  be 
their  God, 

21  But  as  far  them  whose 
heart  walketh  after  the  heart 
of  their  detestable  things  and 
their  abominations,  1  will  recom- 
pense their  way  upon  their  own 
heads,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

22  HThen  did  the  cherubims 
lift  up  their  wings,  and  the 
wheels  beside  them ;  and  the 
glory  of  the  God  of  Is'ra^el  was 
over  them  above, 

25  And  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
went  up  from  the  midst  of  the 
city,  and  stood  upon  the  moun- 
tain which  is  on  the  east  side 
of  the  city. 

24  1  Afterwards  the  spirit 
took  me  up,  and  brought  me 
in  a  vision  by  the  Spirit  of  God 
into  Chdl-de'a,  to  them  of  the 
captivity.  So  the  vision  that  1 
had  seen  went  up  from  me, 

25  Then  I  spake  unto  them  of 
the  captivity  all  the  things  that 
the  Lord  had  shewed  me.

THE  word  of  the  Lord  also 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  thou  dwell  est 
in  the  midst  of  a  rebellious 
house,  which  have  eyes  to  see, 
and  see  not ;  they  have  ears  to

are  a  rebellious  house. 

3  Therefore,  thou  son  of 
man,  prepare  thee  stuff  for  re- 
moving and  remove  by  day  in 
their  sight;  and  thou  shalt  re- 
move from  thy  place  to  another 
place  in  their  sight :  it  may  be

be  a  rebellious  house. 

4  Then  shalt  thou  bring  forth 
thy  stuff  by  day  in  their  sight, 
as  stuff  for  removing :  and  thou 
shalt  go  forth  at  even  in  their 
sight,  as  they  that  go  forth  into 
captivity,

in  their  sight,  and  carry  out 
thereby. 

6  In  their  sight  shalt  thou

carry  it  forth  in  the  twilight :

have  set  thee  for  a  sign  unto 
the  house  of  Is/ra-el. 

7  And  I  did  so  as  I  was  com- 
manded: I  brought  forth  my 
stuff  by  day,  as  stuff  for  cap- 
tivity, and  in  the  even  I  digged 
through  the  wall  with  mine 
hand ;  I  brought  it  forth  in  the 
twilight,  anal  bare  it  upon  my 
shoulder  in  their  sight 

8  And  in  the  morning  came 
the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  me, 
saying, 

9  Son  of  man,  hath  not  the 
house  of  Is/ra-el,  the  rebellious 
house,  said  unto  thee,  What 
doest  thou? 

10  Say  thou  unto  them,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God;  This  bur- 
den concerneth  the  prince  in 
JS-ru'sS-lem,  and  all  the  house 
of  Ig'ra-el  that  are  among  them. 

11  Say,  I  am  your  sign :  like 
as  I  have  done,  so  shall  it  be 
done  unto  them :  they  shall  re- 
move and  go  into  captivity. 

12  And  the  prince  that  is 
among  them  snail  bear  upon 
his  shoulder  in  the  twilight, 
and  shall  go  forth:  they  shall 
dig  through  the  wall  to  carry 
out  thereby:  he  shall  cover  his 
face,  that  he  see  not  the  ground 
with  his  eyes. 

13  My  net  also  will  I  spread 
upon  him,  and  he  shall  be  taken 
in  my  snare :  and  I  will  bring 
him  to  Bfib'jMon  to  the  land  ox 
the  Ch&l-dS'ans;  yet  shall  he 
not  see  it,  though  he  shall  die 
there. 

14  And  I  will  scatter  toward 
every  wind  all  that  are  about 
him  to  help  him,  and  all  his 
bands ;  and  I  will  draw  out  the 
sword  after  them. 

15  And  they  shall  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord,  when  I  shall 
scatter  them  among  the  na- 
tions, and  disperse  them  in  the 
countries. 

16  But  I  will  leave  a  few  men 
of  them  from  the  sword,  from 
the  famine,  and  from  the  pesti- 
lence; that  they  may  declare 
all  their  abominations  among 
the  heathen  whither  they  come; 
and  they  shall  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord. 

17  IT  Moreover  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  to  me,  saying, 

18  Son  of  man,  eat  thy  bread 
with  quaking,  and  drink  thy 
water  with  trembling  and  with 
carefulness ; 

19  And  say  unto  the  people  of 
the  land,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  the  inhabitants  of  JS- 
ru'sa-lem,  and  of  the  land  of 
Is/ra-el;  They  shall  eat  their 
bread    with   carefulness,   and 


drink  their  water  with  aston 
ishment,  that  her  land  may  be 
desolate  from  all  that  is  there- 
in, because  of  ;the  violence  of 
all  them  that  dwell  therein. 

20  And  the  cities  that  are  in- 
habited shall  be  laid  waste,  and 
the  land  shall  be  desolate ;  and 
ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord. 

21  HAnd  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

22  Son  of  man,  what  is  that 
proverb  that  ye  have  in  the 
land  of  lg'ra-el,  saying,  The 
days  are  prolonged,  and  every 
vision  faifeth? 

23  Tell  them  therefore,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  ;  I  will  make 
this  proverb  to  cease,  and  they 
shall  no  more  use  it  as  a  prov- 
erb in  Is/ra-el;  but  say  unto 
them,  The  days  are  at  hand, 
and  the  effect  of  every  vision. 

24  For  there  shall  be  no  more 
any  vain  vision  nor  flattering 
divination  within  the  house  of 
Is/ra-el. 

25  For  I  am  the  Lord  :  I  will 
speak,  and  the  word  that  I  shall 
speak  shall  come  to  pass;  it 
snail  be  no  more  prolonged :  for 
in  your  days,  O  rebellious  house, 
wifl  I  say  the  word,  and  will  per- 
form it,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

26  H  Again  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  to  me,  saving, 

27  Son  of  man,  behold,  they 
of  the  house  of  ls/ra-el  say,  The 
vision  that  he  seeth  is  for  many 
days  to  come,  and  he  prophesi- 
eth  of  the  times  that  are  far  off. 

28  Therefore  say  unto  them, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  There 
shall  none  of  my  words  be  pro- 
longed any  more,  but  the  word 
which  I  have  spoken  shall  be 
done,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

CHAPTER  13 

Lying  prophets  reproved.  17  False 
prophetesses  also  reproved,  with 
their  imposture*. 

AND  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  prophesy  against 
the  prophets  of  Is/ra-el  that 
prophesy,  and  say  thou  unto 
them  that  prophesy  out  of  their 
own  hearts,  Hear  ye  the  word 
of  the  Lord; 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Woe  unto  the  foolish  prophets, 
that  follow  their  own  spirit, 
and  have  seen  nothing ! 

4  0  lg'ra-el,  thy  prophets  are 
like  the  foxes  in  the  deserts. 

5  Ye  have  not  gone  up  into 
the  gaps,  neither  made  up  the 
hedge  for  the  house  of  lg'ra-el 
to  stand  in  the  battle  in  the 
day  of  the  Lord.

6  They  have  seen  vanity  and 
lying  divination,  saying,  The 
Lord  saith :  and  the  Lord  hath 
not  sent  them :  and  they  have 
made  others  to  hope  that  they 
would  confirm  the  word. 

7  Have  ye  not  seen  a  vain 
vision,  and  have  ye  not  spoken 
a  lying  divination,  whereas  ye 
say,  The  Lord  saith  it ;  albeit 
I  have  not  spoken  ? 

8  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  ;  Because  ye  have 
spoken  vanity,  and  seen  lies, 
therefore,  behold,  I  am  against 
you,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

9  And  mine  hand  shall  be  up- 
on the  prophets  that  see  vanity, 
and  that  divine  lies :  they  shall 
not  be  in  the  assembly  of  my 
people,  neither  shall  they  be 
written  in  the  writing  of  the 
house  of  ls/ra-el,  neither  shall 
they  enter  into  the  land  of  ls> 
ra-el ;  and  ye  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord  God. 

10  'Because,  even  because  they 
have  seduced  my  people,  saying, 
Peace ;  and  there  was  no  peace ; 
and  one  built  up  a  wall,  and,  lo, 
others  daubed  it  with  untem- 
pered  morter : 

11  Say  unto  them  which  daub 
it  with  untempered  morter,  that 
it  shall  fall:  there  shall  be  an 
overflowing  shower ;  and  ye,  0 
great  hailstones,  shall  fall ;  and 
a  stormy  wind  shall  rend  it 

12  Lo,  when  the  wall  is  fallen, 
shall  it  not  be  said  unto  you, 
Where  is  the  daubing  where- 
with ye  have  daubed  it? 

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  I  will  even  rend  it 
with  a  stormy  wind  in  my  fury ; 
and  there  shall  be  an  overflow- 
ing shower  in  mine  anger,  and 
great  hailstones  in  my  fury  to 
consume  it. 

14  So  will  I  break  down  the 
wall  that  ye  have  daubed  with 
untempered  morter,  and  bring 
it  down  to  the  ground,  so  that 
the  foundation  thereof  shall  be 
discovered,  and  it  shall  fall,  and 
ye  shall  be  consumed  in  the 
midst  thereof:  and  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

15  Thus  will  I  accomplish  my 
wrath  upon  the  wall,  and  upon 
them  that  have  daubed  it  with 
untempered  morter,  and  will 
say  unto  you,  The  wall  is  no 
more,  neither  they  that  daubed 
it; 

16  To  wit,  the  prophets  of  Is/- 
ra-el  which  prophesy  concern- 
ing Je-ru'sa4€m,  and  which  see 
visions  of  peace  for  her,  and 
there  is  no  peace,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 


17  IF  Likewise,  thou  son  of 
man,  set  thy  face  against  the 
daughters  of  thy  people,  which 
prophesy  out  of  their  own  heart ; 
and  prophesy  thou  against  them, 

18  And  say,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Woe  to  the  women 
that  sew  pillows  to  all  armholes, 
and  make  kerchiefs  upon  the 
head  of  every  stature  to  hunt 
souls!  Will  ye  hunt  the  souls 
of  my  people,  and  will  ye  save 
the  souls  alive  that  come  unto 
you? 

19  And  will  ye  pollute  me 
among  my  people  for  hand- 
fuls  of  barley  and  for  pieces 
of  bread,  to  slay  the  souls  that 
should  not  die,  and  to  save  the 
souls  alive  that  should  not  live, 
by  your  lying  to  my  people  that 
hear j/our  lies? 

20  Wherefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  ;  Behold*  I  am  against 
your  pillows,  wherewith  ye  there 
hunt  the  souls  to  make  them  fly, 
and  I  will  tear  them  from  your 
arms,  and  will  let  the  souls  go, 
even  the  souls  that  ye  hunt  to 
make  them  fly. 

21  Your  kerchiefs  also  will  I 
tear,  and  deliver  my  people  out 
of  your  hand,  and  they  shall 
be  no  more  in  your  hand  to 
be  hunted ;  and  ye  shall  know 
that  t  am  the  Lord. 

22  Because  with  lies  ye  have 
made  the  heart  of  the  righteous 
sad,  whom  I  have  not  made  sad ; 
and  strengthened  the  hands  of 
the  wicked,  that  he  should  not 
return  from  his  wicked  way,  by 
promising  him  life: 

23  Therefore  ye  shall  see  no 
more  vanity,  nor  divine  divina- 
tions :  for  I  will  deliver  my  peo- 
ple out  of  your  hand :  and  ye 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord.

Lord  will  answer  him  that 
cometh  according  to  the  multi- 
tude of  his  idols; 

5  That  I  may  take  the  house 
of  Is/ra-el  in  their  own  heart, 
because  they  are  all  estranged 
from  me  through  their  idols. 

6  IF  Therefore  say  unto  the 
house  of  Is/ra-el,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Repent,  and  turn 
yourselves  from  your  idols; 
and  turn  away  your  faces  from 
all  your  abominations. 

7  For  every  one  of  the  house 
of  Is/ra-el,  or  of  the  stranger 
that  sojourneth  in  ls/ra-el,  which 
separateth  himself  from  me, 
and  setteth  up  his  idols  in  his 
heart,  and  putteth  the  stum-

fore his  face,  and  cometh  to  a 
prophet  to  enquire  of  him  con-

answer  him  by  myself : 

8  And  I  will  set  my  face 
against  that  man,  and  will  make 
him  a  sign  and  a  proverb,  and  I 
will  cut  him  off  from  the  midst 
of  my  people ;  and  ye  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord. 

9  And  if  the  prophet  be  de- 
ceived when  he  hath  spoken  a 
thing,  I  the  Lord  have  deceived 
that  prophet,  and  I  will  stretch 
out  my  hand  upon  him,  and  will 
destroy  him  from  the  midst  of 
my  people  Is'ra-el. 

10  And  they  shall  bear  the 
punishment  of  their  iniquity: 
the  punishment  of  the  jirophet 
shall  be  even  as  the  punishment 
of  him  that  seeketh  unto  him ; 

11  That  the  house  of  ls/ra-el 
may  go  no  more  astray  from 
me,  neither  be  polluted  any 
more  with  all  their  transgres- 
sions ;  but  that  they  may  be  my 
people,  and  I  may  be  their  God, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

12  fThe  word  of  the  Lord 
came  again  to  me,  saying, 

13  Son  of  man,  when  the  land 
sinneth  against  me  by  tres- 
passing grievously,  then  will  I 
stretch  out  mine  hand  upon  it, 
and  will  break  the  staff  of  the 
bread  thereof,  and  will  send 
famine  upon  it,  and  will  cut 
off  man  and  beast  from  it: 

14  Though  these  three  men, 
Nfi'ah,  Dftn'iel,  and  J5b,  were  in 
it,  they  should  deliver  but  their 
own  souls  by  their  righteous- 
ness, saith  the  Lord  God. 

15  Iflf  I  cause  noisome  beasts 
to  pass  through  the  land,  and 
they  spoil  it,  so  that  it  be  deso- 
late, that  no  man  may  pass 
through  because  of  the  beasts : 

16  Though  these  three  men 
were  in  it,  as  I  live,  saith  the 


Lord  God,  they  shall  deliver 
neither  sons  nor  daughters; 
they  only  shall  be  delivered, 
but  the  land  shall  be,  desolate. 

17  1T  Or  if  I  bring  a  sword 
upon  that  land,  and  say,  Sword, 
go  through  the  land ;  so  that  I 
cut  off  man  and  beast  from  it: 

18  Though  these  three  men 
were  in  it,  as  I  live,  saith  the 
Lord  God,  they  shall  deliver 
neither  sons  nor  daughters,  but 
they  only  shall  be  delivered 
themselves. 

19  If  Or  if  I  send  a  pestilence 
into  that  land,  and  pour  out  my 
fury  upon  it  in  blood,  to  cut  off 
from  it  man  and  beast: 

20  Though  Nd'ah,  Dan'iel,  and 
J5b,  were  in  it,  as  I  live,  saith 
the  Lord  God,  they  shall  deliver 
neither  son  nor  daughter;  they 
shall  but  deliver  their  own  souls 
by  their  righteousness. 

21  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  How  much  more  when  I 
send  my  four  sore  judgments 
upon  Je-ru'sa-ISm,  the  sword, 
and  the  famine,  and  the  noi- 
some beast,  and  the  pestilence, 
to  cut  off  from  it  man  and  beast  ? 

22  Yet,  behold,  therein  shall 
be  left  a  remnant  that  shall  be 
brought  forth,  both  sons  and 
daughters:  behold,  they  shall 
come  forth  unto  you,  and  ye 
shall  see  their  way  and  their 
doings:  and  ye  shall  be  com- 
forted concerning  the  evil  that 
I  have  brought  upon  J&ru'sa- 
lem,  even  concerning  all  that  I 
have  brought  upon  it 

23  And  they  shall  comfort 
you,  when  ye  see  their  ways  and 
their  doings :  and  ye  shall  know 
that  I  have  not  done  without 
cause  all  that  I  have  done  in  it, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

CHAPTER  15 

By  the  unfitness  o/  the  vine  branch 
for  any  work  6  ie  shewed  Jerusa- 
lem's rejection. 

AND  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  What  is  the  vine 
tree  more  than  any  tree,  or 
than  a  branch  which  is  among 
the  trees  of  the  forest? 

3  Shall  wood  be  taken  thereof 
to  do  any  work?  or  will  men 
take  a  pin  of  it  to  hang  any 
vessel  thereon? 

4  Behold,  it  is  cast  into  the 
fire  for  fuel;  the  fire  devoureth 
both  the  ends  of  it,  and  the 
midst  of  it  is  burned.  Is  it 
meet  for  any  work? 

5  Behold,  when  it  was  whole, 
it  was  meet  for  no  work : '  how 
much  less  shall  it  be  meet  yet

Lord  God;  As  the  vine  tree 
among  the  trees  of  the  forest, 
which  I  have  given  to  the  fire 
for  fuel,  so  will  I  give  the  in-

fire  shall  devour  them ;  and  ye 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord, 
when  I  set  my  face  against 
them. 

8  And  I  will  make  the  land 
desolate,  because  they  have  com- 
mitted a  trespass,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

CHAPTER  16 

By  a  wretched  infant  is  shewed  the 
original  stats  of  Jerusalem  :  6  God's 
love  to  her:  35  she  is  threatened 
with  severe  judgments:  60  mercy 
promised  her  in  the  end. 

AGAIN  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  cause  J$-ru's£- 
lfira  to  know  her  abominations, 

3  And  say,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  unto  JS-rg'sa-lSm ; 
Thy  birth  and  thy  nativity  is 
of  the  land  of  C&'n&an;  thy 
father  was  an  Am'dr-ite,  and 
thy  mother  an  ffit'tite. 

4  And  as  for  thy  nativity,  in 
the  day  thou  wast  born  thy 
navel  was  not  cut,  neither  wast 
thou  washed  in  water  to  supple 
thee;  thou  wast  not  salted  at 
all,  nor  swaddled  at  all. 

5  None  eye  pitied  thee,  to 
do  any  of  these  unto  thee,  to 
have  compassion  upon  thee; 
but  thou  wast  cast  out  in  the 
open  field,  to  the  lothing  of  thy 
person,  in  the  day  that  thou 
wast  born. 

6  IT  And  when  I  passed  by 
thee,  and  saw  thee  polluted  in 
thine  own  blood,  I  said  unto 
thee  when  thou  wast  in  thy 
blood,  Live;  yea,  I  said  unto 
thee  when  thou  wast  in  thy 
blood,  Live. 

7  I  have  caused  thee  to  multi- 
ply as  the  bud  of  the  field,  and 
thou  hast  increased  and  waxen 
great,  and  thou  art  come  to  ex- 
cellent ornaments :  thy  breasts 
are  fashioned,  and  thine  hair 
is  grown,  whereas  thou  wast 
naked  and  bare. 

8  Now  when  I  passed  by  thee, 
and  looked  upon  thee,  behold, 
thy  time  was  the  time  of  love ; 
and  I  spread  my  skirt  over  thee, 
and  covered  thy  nakedness: 
yea,  I  sware  unto  thee,  and  en- 
tered into  a  covenant  with  thee, 


saith  the  Lord  God,  and  thou 
becamest  mine. 

9  Then  washed  I  thee  with 
water;  yea,  I  throughly  washed 
away  thy  blood  from  thee,  and 
I  anointed  thee  with  oil. 

10  I  clothed  thee  also  with 
broidered  work,  and  shod  thee 
with  badgers'  skin,  and  I  girded 
thee  about  with  fine  linen,  and 
I  covered  thee  with  silk. 

11  I  decked  thee  also  with 
ornaments,  and  I  put  bracelets 
upon  thy  hands,  and  a  chain  on 
thy  neck. 

12  And  I  put  a  jewel  on  thy 
forehead,  and  earrings  in  thine 
ears,  and  a  beautiful  crown  up- 
on thine  head. 

13  Thus  wast  thou  decked 
with  gold  and  silver;  and  thy 
raiment  was  of  fine  linen,  and 
silk,  and  broidered  work;  thou 
didst  eat  fine  flour,  and  honey, 
and  oil :  and  thou  wast  exceed- 
ing beautiful,  and  thou  didst 
prosper  into  a  kingdom. 

14  And  thy  renown  went 
forth  among  the  heathen  for 
thy  beauty :  for  it  was  perfect 
through  my  comeliness,  which  I 
had  put  upon  thee,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

15  IT  But  thou  didst  trust  in 
thine  own  beauty,  and  playedst 
the  harlot  because  of  thy  re- 
nown, and  pouredst  out  thy 
fornications  on  every  one  that 
passed  by ;  his  it  was. 

16  And  of  thy  garments  thou 
didst  take,  and  deckedst  thy 
high  places  with  divers  colours, 
and  playedst  the  harlot  there- 
upon :  the  like  things  shall  not 
come,  neither  shall  it  be  so. 

17  Thou  hast  also  taken  thy 
fair  jewels  of  my  gold  and  of 
my  silver,  which  I  had  given 
thee,  and  madest  to  thyself  im- 
ages of  men,  and  didst  commit 
whoredom  with  them, 

18  And  tookest  thy  broidered 
garments,  and  coveredst  them : 
and  thou  hast  set  mine  oil  and 
mine  incense  before  them. 

19  My  meat  also  which  I  gave 
thee,  fine  flour,  and  oil,  and 
honey,  wherewith  I  fed  thee, 
thou  hast  even  set  it  before 
them  for  a  sweet  savour:  and 
thus  it  was,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

20  Moreover  thou  hast  taken 
thy  sons  and  thy  daughters, 
whom  thou  hast  borne  unto  me, 
and  these  hast  thou  sacrificed 
unto  them  to  be  devoured.  Is 
this  of  thy  whoredoms  a  small 
matter, 

21  That  thou  hast  slain  my 
children,  and  delivered  them  to

cause  them  to  pass  through  the 
fire  for  them  ? 

22  And  in  all  thine  abomina- 
tions and  thy  whoredoms  thou 
hast  not  remembered  the  days 
of  thy  youth,  when  thou  wast 
naked  and  bare,  and  wast  pol- 
luted in  thy  blood. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
all  thy  wickedness,  (woe,  woe 
unto  thee !  saith  the  Lord  God;  ) 

24  That  thou  hast  also  built 
unto  thee  an  eminent  place, 
and  hast  made  thee  an  high 
place  in  every  street 

25  Thou  hast  built  thy  high 
place  at  every  head  of  the  way, 
and  hast  made  thy  beauty  to 
be  abhorred,  and  hast  opened 
thy  feet  to  every  one  that 
passed  by,  and  multiplied  thy 
whoredoms. 

26  Thou  hast  also  committed 
fornication  with  the  fi-gyp'tiang 
thy  neighbours,  great  of  flesh ; 
and  hast  increased  thy  whore- 
doms, to  provoke  me  to  anger. 

27  Behold,  therefore  I  have 
stretched  out  my  hand  over 
thee,  and  have  diminished  thine 
ordinary  food,  and  delivered 
thee  unto  the  will  of  them  that 
hate  thee,  the  daughters  of  the 
Phl-lf  s'tlnea,  which  are  ashamed 
of  thy  lewd  way. 

28  Thou  hast  played  the  whore 
also  with  the  As-sjrrl-ang,  be- 
cause thou  wast  unsatiable; 
yea,  thou  hast  played  the  har- 
lot with  them,  and  yet  couldest 
not  be  satisfied. 

29  Thou  hast  moreover  multi- 
plied thy  fornication  in  the 
land  of  Ca'naan  unto  Chai-dS'a ; 
and  yet  thou  wast  not  satisfied 
herewith. 

30  How  weak  is  thine  heart, 
saitb  the  Lord  God,  seeing 
thou  doest  all  these  things,  the 
work  of  an  imperious  whorish 
woman; 

31  In  that  thou  buildest  thine 
eminent  place  in  the  head  of 
every  way,  and  makest  thine 
high  place  in  every  street;  and 
hast  not  been  as  an  harlot,  in' 
that  thou  scornest  hire; 

32  But  as  a  wife  that  com- 
mitteth  adultery,  which  taketh 
strangers  instead  of  her  hus- 
band! 

33  They  give  gifts  to  all 
whores:  but  thou  givest  thy 
gifts  to  all  thy  lovers,  and  hir- 
est  them,  that  they  may  come 
unto  thee  on  every  side  for  thy 
whoredom. 

34  And  the  contrary  is  in  thee 
from  other  women  in  thy  whore- 
doms, whereas  none  followeth 
thee  to  commit  whoredoms :  and 


in  that  thou  givest  a  reward, 
and  no  reward  is  given  unto 
thee,  therefore  thou  art  con- 
trary. 

35  H  Wherefore,  O  harlot,  hear 
the  word  of  the  Lord  : 

36  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Because  thy  filthiness  was 
poured  out,  and  thy  nakedness 
discovered  through  thy  whore- 
doms with  thy  lovers,  and  with 
all  the  idols  of  thy  abomina- 
tions, and  by  the  blood  of  thy 
children,  which  thou  didst  give 
unto  them ; 

37  Behold,  therefore  I  will 
gather  all  thy  lovers,  with 
whom  thou  hast  taken  pl« 
ure,  and  all  them  that  thou 
hast  loved,  with  all  them  that 
thou  hast  hated;  I  will  even 
gather  them  round  about 
against  thee,  and  will  discov- 
er thy  nakedness  unto  them, 
that  they  may  see  all  thy  na- 
kedness. 

38  And  I  will  judge  thee, 
women  that  break  wedlock  and 
shed  blood  are  judged;  and  I 
will  give  thee  blood  in  fury  and 
jealousy. 

39  And  I  will  also  give  thee 
into  their  hand,  and  tney  shall 
throw  down  thine  eminent 
place,  and  shall  break  down 
thy  high  places :  they  shall  strip 
thee  also  of  thy  clothes,  and 
shall  take  thy  fair  jewels,  and 
leave  thee  naked  and  bare. 

40  They  shall  also  bring  up  a 
company  against  thee,  and  they 
shall  stone  thee  with  stones, 
and  thrust  thee  through  with 
their  swords. 

41  And  they  shall  burn  thine 
houses  with  fire,  and  execute 
judgments  upon  thee  in  the 

'  rht  of  many  women:  and  I 
will  cause  thee  to  cease  from 
playing  the  harlot,  and  thou 
also  shalt  give  no  hire  any  more. 

42  So  will  I  make  my  fury 
toward  thee  to  rest,  and  my 
jealousy  shall  depart  from  thee, 
and  I  will  be  quiet,  and  will  be 
no  more  angry. 

43  Because  thou  hast  not  re- 
membered the  days  of  thy 
youth,  but  hast  fretted  me  in 
all  these  things  ;  behold,  there- 
fore I  also  will  recompense  thy 
way  upon  thine  head,  saith  the 
Lord  God  :  and  thou  shalt  not 
commit  this  lewdness  above  all 
thine  abominations. 

44  f  Behold,  every  one  that 
useth  proverbs  shall  use  this 
proverb  against  thee,  saying, 
As  is  the  mother,  so  is  her 
daughter.     ^ 

45  Thou  art    thy    mother's

daughter,  that  lotheth  her  hus- 
band and  her  children;  and 
thou  art  the  sister  of  thy  sis- 
ters, which  lothed  their  hus- 
bands and  their  children :  your 
mother  was  an  HIt'tite,  and 
your  rather  an  Am'or-ite. 

46  And  thine  elder  sister  is 
Sa-ma'rI-a,  she  and  her  daugh- 
ters that  dwell  at  thy  left  hand : 
and  thy  younger  sister,  that 
dwelleth  at  thy  right  hand,  is 
Sdd'om  and  her  daughters. 

47  Yet  hast  thou  not  walked 
after  their  ways,  nor  done  after 
their  abominations:  but,  as  if 
that  were  a  very  little  thing, 
thou  wast  corrupted  more  than 
they  in  all  thy  ways. 

48  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord 
God,  Sdd'om  thy  sister  hath  not 
done,  she  nor  her  daughters,  as 
thou  hast  done,  thou  and  thy 
daughters. 

49  Behold,  this  was  the  in 
iquity  of  thy  sister  Sdd'om, 
pride,  fulness  of  bread,  and 
abundance  of  idleness  was  in 
her  and  in  her  daughters,  nei- 
ther dad  she  strengthen  the 
hand  of  the  poor  and  needy. 

50  And  they  were  haughty, 
and  committed  abomination  be- 
fore me:  therefore  I  took  them 
away  as  I  saw  good. 

51  Neither  hath  Sa-mTrta 
committed  half  of  thy  sins; 
but  thou  hast  multiplied  thine 
abominations  more  than  they, 
and  hast  justified  thy  sisters  in 
all  thine  abominations  which 
thou  hast  done. 

52  Thou  also,  which  hast 
judged  thy  sisters,  bear  thine 
own  shame  for  thy  sins  that 
thou  hast  committed  more 
abominable  than  they:  they 
are  more  righteous  than  t^ou: 
yea,  be  thou  confounded  also, 
and  bear  thy  shame,  in  that 
thou  hast  justified  thy  sisters. 

53  When  I  shall  bring  again 
their  captivity,  the  captivity  of 
Sdd'om  and  her  daughters,  and 
the  captivity  of  S&-ma'ri-d  and 
her  daughters,  then  will  I  bring 
again  the  captivity  of  thy  cap- 
tives in  the  midst  of  them : 

54  That  thou  mayest  bear 
thine  own  shame,  and  mayest 
be  confounded  in  all  that  thou 
hast  done,  in  that  thou  art  a 
comfort  unto  them. 

55  When  thy  sisters,  Sdd'om 
and  her  daughters,  shall  return 
to  their  former  estate,  and  S&- 
m&'ri-a  and  her  daughters  shall 
return  to  their  former  estate, 
then  thou  and  thy  daughters 
shall  return  to  your  former 
estate.  ' 


56  For  thy  sister  Sdd'om  was 
not  mentioned  by  thy  mouth  in 
the  day  of  thy  pride, 

57  Before  thy  wickedness  was 
discovered,  as  at  the  time  of  thy 
reproach  of  the  daughters  of 
Syrf-a,  and  all  that  are  round 
about  her,  the  daughters  of  the 
PhMis'tineg,  which  despise  thee 
round  about 

58  Thou  hast  borne  thy  lewd- 
ness and  thine  abominations, 
saith  the  Lord. 

59  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  I  will  even  deal  with  thee 
as  thou  hast  done,  which  hast 
despised  the  oath  in  breaking 
the  covenant 

60  Nevertheless  I  will  remem- 
ber my  covenant  with  thee  in 
the  days  of  thy  youth,  and  I  will 
establish  unto  thee  an  everlast- 
ing covenant 

61  Then  thou  shalt  remember 
thy  ways,  and  be  ashamed,  when 
thou  shalt  receive  thy  sisters, 
thine  elder  and  thy  younger: 
and  I  will  give  them  unto  thee 
for  daughters,  but  not  by  thy 
covenant 

62  And  I  will  establish  my 
covenant  with  thee;  and  thou 
shalt  know  that  I  am  the  Lord 

63  That  thou  mayest  remem- 
ber, and  be  confounded,  and 
never  open  thy  mouth  any  more 
because  of  thy  shame,  when  I 
am  pacified  toward  thee  for  all 
that  thou  hast  done,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

CHAPTER  17 

God's  judgment  upon  Zedekiah  for 
revolting  from  Babylon  to  Egypt 
22  A  promise  of  Christ's  kingdom. 

AND  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  put  forth  a  rid- 
dle, and  speak  a  parable  unto  the 
house  of  f  s'ra-el ; 

3  And  say,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  A  great  eagle  with 
great  wings,  Tongwinged,  full 
of  feathers,  which  had  divers 
colours,  came  unto  LeVa-non, 
and  took  the  highest  branch  of 
the  cedar: 

4  He  cropped  off  the  top  of 
his  young  twigs,  and  carried  it 
into  a  land  of  traffick;  he  set 
it  in  a  city  of  merchants. 

5  He  took  also  of  the  seed  of 
the  land,  and  planted  it  in  a 
fruitful  field;  he  placed  it  by 
great  waters,  and  set  it  as  a 
willow  tree. 

6  And  it  grew,  and  became  a 
spreading  vine  of  low  stature, 
whose  branches  turned  toward 
him,  and  the  roots  thereof  were 
under  him :  so  it  became  a  vine,

and  brought  forth    branches, 
and  shot  forth  sprigs. 

7  There  was  also  another 
great  eagle  with  great  wings 
and  many  feathers:  and,  be- 
hold, this  vine  did  bend  her 
roots  toward  him,  and  shot  forth 
her  branches  toward  him,  that 
he  might  water  it  by  the  fur- 
rows of  her  plantation. 

8  It  was  planted  in  a  good  soil 
by  great  waters,  that  It  might 
bring  forth  branches,  and  that 
it  might  bear  fruit,  that  it 
might  be  a  goodly  vine. 

9  Say  thou,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Shall  it  prosper 7 
shall  he  not  pull  up  the  roots 
thereof,  and  cut  off  the  fruit 
thereof,  that  it  wither?  it  shall 
wither  in  all  the  leaves  of  her 
spring,  even  without  great  pow- 
er or  many  people  to  pluck  it 
up  by  the  roots  thereof. 

10  Yea,  behold,  being  planted, 
shall  it  prosper?  shall  it  not 
utterly  wither,  when  the  east 
windtoucheth  it  7  it  shall  with- 
er in  the  furrows  where  it  grew. 

11  ^Moreover  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

12  Say  now  to  the  rebellious 
house,  Know  ye  not  what  these 
things  mean?  tell  them,  Be- 
hold, the  king  of  B&b'jMon  is 
come  to  JS-ru'si-lSm,  and  hath 
taken  the  king  thereof,  and  the 
princes  thereof,  and  led  them 
with  him  to  B&b'jMon ; 

13  And  hath  taken  of  the 
king's  seed,  and  made  a  cove- 
nant with  him,  and  hath  taken 
an  oath  of  him:  he  hath  also 
taken  the  mighty  of  the  land : 

14  That  the  kingdom  might 
be  base,  that  it  might  not  Tift 
itself  up,  but  that  by  keeping 
of  his  covenant  it  might  stand. 

15  But  he  rebelled  against 
him  in  sending  his  ambassadors 
into  ffgypt,  that  they  might 
give  him  horses  and  much  peo- 
ple. Shall  he  prosper?  shall 
he  escape  that  doeth  such 
things  ?  or  shall  he  break  the 
covenant,  and  be  delivered? 

16  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord 
God,  surely  in  the  place  where 
the  king  dweUeth  that  made 
him  king,  whose  oath  he  de- 
spised, and  whose  covenant  he 
brake,  even  with  him  in  the 
midst  of  Bfib'jMon  he  shall  die. 

17  Neither  shall  Pha'raSh 
with  his  mighty  arm  v  and  great 
company  make  for  aim  in  the 
war,  by  casting  up  mounts,  and 
building  forts,  to  cut  off  many 
persons: 

18  Seeing  he  despised  the 
oath  by  breaking  the  covenant, 


when,  lo,  he  had  given  his 
hand,  and  hath  done  all  these 
things,  he  shall  not  escape. 

19  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  As  I  live,  surely 
mine  oath  that  he  hath  de- 
spised, and  my|covenant  that 
he  hath  broken,  even  it  will  I 
recompense  upon  his  own  head. 

20  And  I  will  spread  my  net 
upon  him,  and  he  shall  be  taken 
in  my  snare,  and  I  will  bring 
him  to  B&b'jMon,  and  will  plead 
with  him  there  for  his  trespass 
that  he  hath  trespassed  against 
me. 

21  And  all  his  fugitives  with 
all  his  bands  shall  fall  by  the 
sword,  and  they  that  remain 
shall  be  scattered  toward. all 
winds :  and  ye  shall  know  that 
I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it 

22  HThus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
I  will  also  take  of  the  highest 
branch  of  the  high  cedar,  and 
will  set  it ;  I  will  crop  off  from 
the  top  of  his  young  twigs  a 
tender  one,  and  will  plant  it  up- 
on an  high  mountain  and  emi- 
nent: 

23  In  the  mountain  of  the 
height  of  Is/ra-el  will  I  plant 
it:  and  it  shall  bring  forth 
boughs,  and  bear  fruit,  and  be 
a  goodly  cedar:  and  under  it 
shall  dwell  all  fowl  of  every 
wing;  in  the  shadow  of  the 
branches  thereof  shall  they 
dwell. 

24  And  all  the  trees  of  the 
field  shall  know  that  I  the  Lord 
have  brought  down  the  high 
tree,  have  exalted  the  low  tree, 
have  dried  up  the  green  tree^ 
and  have  made  the  dry  tree  to 
flourish:  I  the  Lord  have  spo- 
ken and. have  done  it. 

CHAPTER  18

unto  me  again,  saying, 

2  What  mean  ye,  that  ye

thers have  eaten  sour  grapes,

3  Aft  I  live,  saith  the  Lord

the  soul  of  the  son  is  mine :  the

abominations;  he  shall  surely 
die ;  his  blood  shall  be  upon  him. 

14  tNow,  lo,  if  he  beget  a  son, 
that  seeth  all  his  father's  sins 
which  he  hath  done,  and  con- 
sidereth,  and  doeth  not  such 
like, 

15  That  hath  not  eaten  up- 
on the  mountains,  neither  hath 
lifted  up  his  eyes  to  the  idols  of 
the  house  of  ls'ra-el,  hatb  not 
defiled  his  neighbour's  wife, 

16  Neither  hath  oppressed  any, 
hath  not  withholden  the  pledge, 
neither  hath  spoiled  by  violence, 
but  hath  given  his  bread  to  the 
hungry,  and  hath  covered  the 
naked  with  a  garment, 

17  That  hath  taken  off  his 
hand  from  the  poor,  that  hath 
not  received  usury  nor  increase, 
hath  executed  my  judgments, 
hath  walked  in  my  statutes;  he 
shall  not  die  for  the  iniquity  of 
his  father,  he  shall  surely  live. 

18  As  for  his  father,  because 
he  cruelly  oppressed,  spoiled  his 
brother  by  violence,  and  did  that 
which  is  not  good  among  his 


people,  lo,  even  he  shall  die  in 
his  iniquity. 

19  IT  Yet  say  ye.  Why?  doth 
not  the  son  bear  the  iniquity  of 
the  father?  When  the  son  hath 
done  that  which  is  lawful  and 
right,  and  hath  kept  all  my 
statutes,  and  hath  done  them, 
he  shall  surely  live. 

20  The  soul  that  sinneth,  it 
shall  die.  The  son  shall  not 
bear  the  iniquity  of  the  father, 
neither  shall  the  father  bear 
the  iniquity  of  the  son:  the 
righteousness  of  the  righteous 
shall  be  upon  him,  and  the 
wickedness  of  the  wicked  shall 
be  upon  him. 

21  But  if  the  wicked  will  turn 
from  all  his  sins  that  he  hath 
committed,  and  keep  all  my 
statutes,  and  do  that  which  is 
lawful  and  right,  he  shall  sure- 
ly live,  he  shall  not  die. 

22  All  his  transgressions  that 
he  hath  committed,  they  shall 
not  be  mentioned  unto  him:  in 
his  righteousness  that  he  hath 
done  he  shall  live. 

23  Have  I  any  pleasure  at  all 
that  the  wicked  should  die? 
saith  the  Lord  God:  and  not 
that  he  should  return  from  his 
ways,  and  live? 

24  1TBut  when  the  righteous 
turneth  away  from  his  right- 
eousness, and  committeth  iniq- 
uity, and  doeth  according  to  all 
the  abominations  that  the  wick- 
ed man  doeth,  shall  he  live? 
All  his  righteousness  that  he 
hath  done  shall  not  be  men- 
tioned: in  his  trespass  that  he 
hath  trespassed,  and  in  his  sin 
that  he  hath  sinned,  in  them 
shall  he  die. 

25  1TYet  ye  say,  The  way  of 
the  Lord  is  not  equal.  Hear 
now,  0  house  of  ls'ra-el ;  Is  not 
my  way  equal?  are  not  your 
ways  unequal? 

26  When  a  righteous  man 
turneth  away  from  his  right- 
eousness, and  committeth  iniq- 
uity, and  dieth  in  them ;  for  his 
iniquity  that  he  hath  done  shall 
he  die. 

27  Again,  when  the  wicked 
man  turneth  away  from  his 
wickedness  that  he  hath  com- 
mitted, and  doeth  that  which  is 
lawful  and  right,  he  shall  save 
his  soul  alive. 

28  Because  he  considereth,  and 
turneth  away  from  all  his  trans- 
gressions that  he  hath  commit- 
ted, he  shall  surely  live,  he  shall 
not  die. 

29  Yet  saith  the  house  of  Is> 
ra-el,  The  way  of  the  Lord  is 
not  equal.    0  house  of  Is/ra-el,

CHAPTER  19 

Lamentation  for  the  princes  of  Is- 
rael, under  the  parable  of  lions' 
whelps  taken  in  a  pit;  10  for  Jeru- 
salem, by  a  wasted  vine, 

MOREOVER  take  thou  up 
a    lamentation    for    the 
princes  of  ls/ra-el, 

2  And  say,  What  is  thy  moth- 
er? A  lioness:  she  lay  down 
among  lions,  she  nourished  her 
whelps  among  young  lions. 

3  And  she  brought  up  one  of 
her  whelps:  it  became  a  young 
lion,  and  it  learned  to  catch 
the  prey ;  it  devoured  men. 

4  The  nations  also  heard  of 
him;  he  was  taken  in  their  pit, 
and  they  brought  him  with 
chains  unto  the  land  of  E'&ypt 

5  Now  when  she  saw  that  she 
had  waited,  and  her  hope  was 
lost,  then  she  took  another  of 
her  whelps,  and  made  him  a 
young  lion. 

6  And  he  went  up  and  down 
among  the  lions,  he  became  a 
young  lion,  and  learned  to  catch 
the  prey,  and  devoured  men. 

7  And  he  knew  their  desolate 
palaces,  and  he  laid  waste  their 
cities;  and  the  land  was  deso- 
late, and  the  fulness  thereof,  by 
the  noise  of  his  roaring. 

8  Then  the  nations  set  against 
him  on  every  side  from  the 
provinces,  and  spread  their  net 
over  him :  he  was  taken  in  their 
pit 

9  And  they  put  him  in  ward 
in  chains,  and  brought  him  to 
the  king  of  BSb'y-lon:  they 
brought  him  into  holds,  that 
his  voice  should  no  more  be 
heard  upon  the  mountains  of 
Ig'ra-eL 

10  ITThy  mother  is  like  a  vine 
in  thy  blood,  planted  by  the 
waters:  she  was  fruitful  and 
full  of  branches  by  reason  of 
many  waters. 

11  And  she  had  strong  rods 


for  the  sceptres  of  them  that 
bare  rule,  and  her  stature  was 
exalted  among  the  thick  branch- 
es, and  she  appeared  in  her 
height  with  the  multitude  of 
her  branches. 

12  But  she  was  plucked  up  in 
fury,  she  was  cast  down  to  the 
ground,  and  the  east  wind  dried 
up  her  fruit:  her  strong  rods 
were  broken  and  withered;  the 
fire  consumed  them. 

13  And  now  she  is  planted  in 
the  wilderness,  in  a  dry  and 
thirsty  ground. 

14  And  fire  is  gone  out  of  a 
rod  of  her  branches,  which  hath 
devoured  her  fruit,  so  that  she 
hath  no  strong  rod  to  be  a.  scep- 
tre to  rule.  This  is  a  lamenta- 
tion, and  shall  be  for  a  lamen- 
tation. 

CHAPTER  20 

God  refuses  to  be  consulted  by  the 
elders  of  Israel :  4  their  rebellions  : 
33  he  threatens  to  rule  them  with 
rigour,  butpromisesto  gather  them, 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
seventh  year,  in  the  fifth 
month,  the  tenth  day  of  the 
month,  that  certain  of  the  eld- 
ers of  Ig'ra-el  came  to  enquire 
of  the  Lord,  and  sat  before  me. 

2  Then  came  the  word  of  the 
Lord  unto  me,  saying; 

3  Son  of  man,  speak  unto  the 
elders  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto 
them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
Are  ye  come  to  enquire  of  me? 
As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
I  will  not  be  enquired  of  by  you. 

4  Wilt  thou  judge  them,  son 
of  man,  wilt  thou  judge  them  ? 
cause  them  to  know  the  abomi- 
nations of  their  fathers: 

5  And  say  unto  them,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God;  In  the 
day  when  I  chose  Is'ra-el,  and 
lifted  up  mine  hand  unto  the 
seed  of  the  house  of  JS'cob,  and 
made  myself  known  unto  them 
in  the  land  of  Cgfpt,  when  I 
lifted  up  mine  hand  unto  them, 
saying,  I  am  the  Lord  your 
God; 

6  In  the  day  that  I  lifted  up 
mine  hand  unto  them,  to  bring 
them  forth  of  the  land  of  £  gypt 
into  a  land  that  I  had  espied 
for  them,  flowing  with  milk 
and  honey,  which  is  the  glory 
of  all  lands: 

7  Then  said  I  unto  them,  Cast 
ye  away  every  man  the  abomi- 
nations of  his  eyes,  and  defile 
not  yourselves  with  the  idols 
of  ffgypt:  I  am  the  Lord  your 
God. 

8  But  they  rebelled  against 
me,  and  would  not  hearken  un- 
to me :  they  did  not  every  man 
cast  away  the  abominations  of

their  eyes,  neither  did  they  for- 
sake the  idols  of  E'gjpt :  then  I 
said,  I  will  pour  out  my  fury 
upon  them,  to  accomplish  my 
anger  against  them  in  the  midst 
of  the  land  of  CTgfpt 

9  But  I  wrought  for  my  name's 
sake,  that  it  should  not  he  pol- 
luted before  the  heathen,  among 
whom  they  were,  in  whose  sight 
I  made  myself  known  unto 
them,  in  bringing  them  forth 
out  of  the  land  of  E'£jfpt. 

10  Wherefore  I  caused  them 
to  go  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
E'g^pt,  and  brought  them  into 
the  wilderness. 

11  And  I  gave  them  my  stat- 
utes, and  shewed  them  my  judg- 
ments, which  if  a  man  do,  he 
shall  even  live  in  them. 

12  Moreover  also  I  gave  them 
my  sabbaths,  to  be  a  sign  be- 
tween me  and  them,  that  they 
might  know  that  I  am  the  Lord 
that  sanctify  them. 

13  But  the  house  of  Is/ra-el  re- 
belled against  me  in  the  wilder- 
ness: they  walked  not  in  my 
statutes,  and  they  despised  my 
judgments,  which  if  a  man  do, 
he  shall  even  live  in  them ;  and 
my  sabbaths  they  greatly  pol- 
luted :  then  I  said,  I  would  pour 
out  my  fury  upon  them  in  the 
wilderness,  to  consume  them. 

14  But  I  wrought  for  my 
name's  sake,  that  it  should  not 
be  polluted  before  the  heathen, 
in  whose  sight  I  brought  them 
out 

15  Yet  also  I  lifted  up  my  hand 
unto  them  in  the  wilderness, 
that  I  wonld  not  bring  them  in- 
to the  land  which  I  had  given 
them,  flowing  with  milk  and 
honey,  which  is  the  glory  of  all 
lands ; 

16  Because  they  despised  my 
judgments,  and  walked  not  in 
my  statutes,  but  polluted  my 
sabbaths :  for  their  heart  went 
after  their  idols. 

17  Nevertheless  mine  eye 
spared  them  from  destroying 
them,  neither  did  I  make  an 
end  of  them  in  the  wilderness. 

18  But  I  said  unto  their  chil- 
dren in  the  wilderness,  Walk 
ye  not  in  the  statutes  of  your 
fathers,  neither  observe  their 

dements,  nor  defile  yourselves 
with  their  idols : 

19  I  am  the  Lord  your  God; 
walk  in  my  statutes,  and  keep 
my  judgments,  and  do  them ; 

20  And  hallow  my  sabbaths; 
and  they  shall  be  a  sign  be- 
tween me  and  you,  that  ye  may 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord  your 
God. 


21  Notwithstanding  the  chil 
dren  rebelled  against  me :  they 
walked  not  in  my  statutes,  nei- 
ther kept  my  judgments  to  do 
them,  which  if  a  man  do,  he 
shall  even  live  in  them;  they 
polluted  my  sabbaths:  then  I 
said,  I  would  pour  out  my  fury 
upon  them,  to  accomplish  my 
anger  against  them  in  the 
wilderness. 

22  Nevertheless  I  withdrew 
mine  hand,  and  wrought  for 
my  name's  sake,  that  it  should 
not  be  polluted  in  the  sight  of 
the  heathen,  in  whose  sight  I 
brought  them  forth. 

23  I  lifted  up  mine  hand  unto 
them  also  in  the  wilderness, 
that  I  would  scatter  them 
among  the  heathen,  and  dis- 
perse them  through  the  coun- 
tries; 

24  Because  they  had  not  exe- 
cuted my  f judgments,  but  had 
despised  my  statutes,  and  had 
polluted  my  sabbaths,  and  their 
eyes  were  after  their  fathers' 
idols. 

25  Wherefore  I  gave  them  also 
statutes  that  were  not  good, 
and  judgments  whereby  they 
should  not  live; 

26  And  I  polluted  them  in 
their  own  gifts,  in  that  they 
caused  to  pass  through  the  fire 
all  that  openeth  the  womb,  that 
I  might  make  them  desolate, 
to  the  end  that  they  might 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

27  IT  Therefore,  son  of  man, 
speak  unto  the  house  of  ls/ra-el, 
and  say  unto  them,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God;  Yet  in  this  your 
fathers  have  blasphemed  me, 
in  that  they  have  committed  a 
trespass  against  me. 

28  For  when  I  had  brought 
them  into  the  land,  for  the 
which  I  lifted  up  mine  hand 
to  give  it  to 'them,  then  they 
saw  every  high  hill,  and  all  the 
thick  trees,  and  they  offered 
there  their  sacrifices,  and 
there  they  presented  the  prov- 
ocation of  their  offering:  there 
also  they  made  their  sweet 
savour,  and  poured  out  there 
their  drink  offerings. 

29  Then  I  said  unto  them, 
What  is  the  high  place  where- 
unto  ye  go?  And  the  name 
thereof  is  called  Ba'mah  unto 
this  dav. 

30  Wherefore  say  unto  the 
house  of  fe'ra-el,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  GoD;  Are  ye  polluted  af- 
ter the  manner  of  your  fathers  ? 
and  commit  ye  whoredom  after 
their  abominations? 

31  For  when  ye  offer  your

gifts,  when  ye  make  your  sons 
to  pass  through  the  fire,  ye 

Silfute  yourselves  with  all  your 
ols,  even  unto  this  day:  and 
shall  I  he  enquired  of  by  you, 

0  house  of  Is  ra-el  ?  As  I  live, 
saith  the  Lord  God,  I  will  not 
he  enquired  of  by  you. 

32  And  that  which  cometh  in- 
to your  mind  shall  not  be  at  all, 
that  ye  say,  We  will  be  as  the 
heathen,  as  the  families  of  the 
countries,  to  serve  wood  and 
stone. 

33  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord 
God,  surely  with  a  mighty  hand, 
and  with  a  stretched  out  arm, 
and  with  fury  poured  out,  will 

1  rule  over  you : 

34  And  I  will  bring  you  out 
from  the  people,  and  will  gath- 
er you  out  of  the  countries 
wherein  ye  are  scattered,  with 
a  mighty  hand,  and  with  a 
stretched  out  arm,  and  with 
fury  poured  out 

35  And  I  will  bring  you  into 
the  wilderness  of  the  people, 
and  there  will  I  plead  with  you 
face  to  face. 

36  Like  as  I  pleaded  with  your 
fathers  in  the  wilderness  of  the 
land  of  E'&jrpt,  so  will  I  plead 
with  you,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

37  And  I  will  cause  you  to 
pass  under  the  rod,  and:  I  will 
bring  you  into  the  bond  of  the 
covenant : 

38  And  I  will  purge  out  from 
among  you  the  rebels,  and  them 
that  transgress  against  me:  I 
will  bring  them  forth  out  of  the 
country  where  they  sojourn, 
and  they  shall  not  enter  into 
the  land  of  Is/ra-el :  and  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

39  As  for  you,  0  house  of  Is/- 
ra-el,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
Go  ye,  serve  ye  every  one  his 
idols,  and  hereafter  also,  if  ye 
will  not  hearken  unto  me:  but 
pollute  ye  my  holy  name  no 
more  with  your  gifts,  and  with 
your  idols. 

40  For  in  mine  holy  mountain, 
in  the  mountain  of  the  height 
of  Is/ra-el,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
there  shall  all  the  house  of  Is/- 
ra-el,  all  of  them  in  the  land, 
serve  me:  there  will  I  accept 
them,  and  there  will  I  require 
your  offerings,  and  the  first- 
fruits  of  your  oblations,  with  all 
your  holy  things. 

41  I  will  accept  you  with  your 
sweet  savour,  when  I  bring  you 
out  from  the  people,  and  gather 
you  out  of  the  countries  where- 
in ye  have  been  scattered ;  and 
I  will  be  sanctified  in  you  be- 
fore the  heathen. 


42  And  ye  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord,  when  I  shall 
bring  you  into  the  land  of  ls> 
ra-el,  into  the  country  for  the 
which  I  lifted  up  mine  hand  to 
give  it  to  your  fathers. 

43  And  there  shall  ye  remem- 
ber your  ways,  and  all  your  do- 
ings, wherein  ye  have  been  de- 
filed; and  ye  shall  lothe  your- 
selves in  your  own  sight  for  all 
your  evils  that  ye  have  com- 
mitted. 

44  And 'ye  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord,  when  I  have 
wrought  with  you  for  my  name's 
sake,  not  according  to  your 
wicked  ways,  nor  according  to 
your  corrupt  doings,  0  ye  house 
of  Is/ra-el,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

45  1F  Moreover  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

46  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face 
toward  the  south,  and  drop  thy 
word  toward  the  south,  and 
prophesy  against  the  forest  of 
the  south  field ; 

47  And  say  to  the  forest  of  the 
south,  Hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord;  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  Behold,  I  will  kindle  a 
fire  in  thee,  and  it  shall  devour 
every  green  tree  in  thee,  and 
every  dry  tree:  the  flaming 
flame  shall  not  be  quenched, 
and  all  faces  from  the  south  to 
the  north  shall  be  burned  there- 
in. 

48  And  all  flesh  shall  see  that 
I  the  Lord  have  kindled  it :  it 
shall  not  be  quenched. 

49  Then  said  I,  Ah  Lord  God! 
they  say  of  me,  Doth  he  not 
speak  parables? 

CHAPTER  21 

Exskiel  prophesies    against    Israel 
with  a  sign  of  sighing,  etc. 

A  ND  the  word  of  the  Lord 


came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face  to- 
ward Je-ru'sS-lem,  and  drop  thy 
word  toward  the  holy  places, 
and  prophesy  against  the  land 
of  ls/ra-el, 

3  And  say  to  the  land  of  Is/- 
ra-el,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Be- 
hold, I  am  against  thee,  and 
will  draw  forth  my  sword  out 
of  his  sheath,  and  will  cut  off 
from  thee  the  righteous  and  the 
wicked. 

4  Seeing  then  that  I  will  cut 
off  from  thee  the  righteous  and 
the  wicked,  therefore  shall  my 
sword  go  forth  out  of  his  sheath 
against  all  flesh  from  the  south 
to  the  north : 

5  That  all  flesh  may  know 
that  I  the  Lord  have  drawn 
forth   my   sword   out   of   his

sheath :  it  shall  not  return  any 
more. 

6  Sigh  therefore,  thou  son  of 
man,  with  the  breaking  of  thy 
loins;  and  with  bitterness  sigh 
before  their  eyes. 

7  And  it  shall  be,  when  they 
say  unto  thee,  Wherefore  sigh- 
est  thou?  that  thou  shalt  an- 
swer, For  the  tidings;  because 
it  cometh :  and  every  heart  shall 
melt,  and  all  hands  shall  be 
feeble,  and  every  spirit  shall 
faint,  and  all  knees  'shall  be 
weak  as  water :  behold,  it  com- 
eth, and  shall  be  brought  to 
pass,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

8  IT  Again  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

9  Son  of  man,  prophesy,  and 
say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Say, 
A  sword,  a  sword  is  sharpened, 
and  also  furbished : 

10  It  is  sharpened  to  make  a 
sore  slaughter;  it  is  furbished 
that  it  may  glitter :  should  we 
then  make  mirth?  it  contem- 
neth  the  rod  of  my  son,  < 
every  tree. 

11  And  he  hath  given  it  to  be 
furbished,  that  it  may  be  han- 
dled: this  sword  is  sharpened, 
and  it  is  furbished,  to  give  it  in- 
to the  hand  of  the  slayer. 

12  Cry  and  howl,  son  of  man : 
for  it  shall  be  upon  my  people, 
it  shall  be  upon  all  the  princes 
of  Is/ra-el :  terrors  by  reason  of 
the  sword  shall  be  upon  my  peo- 
ple: smite  therefore  upon  thy 
thigh. 

13  Because  it  is  a  trial,  and 
what  if  the  sword  contemn 
even  the  rod?  it  shall  be  no 
more,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

14  Thou  therefore,  son  of 
man,  prophesy,  and  smite  thine 
hands  together,  and  let  the 
sword  be  doubled  the  third 
time,  the  sword  of  the  slain :  it 
is  the  sword  of  the  great  men 
that  are  slain,  which  entereth 
into  their  privy  chambers. 

15  I  have  set  the  point  of  the 
sword  against  all  their  gates, 
that  their  heart  may  faint,  and 
their  ruins  be  multiplied:  ah! 
it  is  made  bright,  it  is  wrapped 
up  for  the  slaughter. 

16  Go  thee  one  way  or  other, 
either  on  the  right  hand,  or  on 
the  left,  whithersoever  thy  face 
is  set 

17  I  will,  also  smite  mine 
hands  together,  and  I  will  cause 
my  fury  to  rest:  I  the  Lord 
have  said  it. 

18  IT  The  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me  again,  saying, 

19  Also,  thou  son  of  man, 
appoint   thee  two  ways,  that 


the  sword  of  the  king  of  Baby- 
lon may  come:  both  twain  shall 
come  forth  out  of  one  land:  and 
choose  thou  a  place,  choose  it 
at  the  head  of  the  way  to  the 
city. 

20  Appoint  a  way,  that  the 
sword  may  come  to  RaVbath  of 
the  Am'mon-Ites,  and  to  )Ju'dah 
in  JS-ru'sS-lem  the  def  enced. 

21  For  the  king  of  Baby-Ion 
stood  at  the  parting  of  the  way, 
at  the  head  of  the  two  ways,  to 
use  divination:  he  made  his 
arrows  bright,  he  consulted  with 
images,  he  looked  in  the  liver. 

22  At  his  right  hand  was 
the  divination  for  JS-rg'sS-lem, 
to  appoint  captains,  to  open  the 
mouth  in  the  slaughter,  to  lift 
up  the  voice  with  shouting,  to 
appoint  battering  rams  against 
the  gates,  to  cast  a  mount,  and 
to  build  a  fort 

23  And  it  shall  be  unto  them 
as  a  false  divination  in  their 
sight,  to  them  that  have  sworn 
oaths:  but  he  will  call  to  re- 
membrance the  iniquity,  that 
they  may  be  taken. 

24  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Because  ye  have 
made  your  iniquity  to  be  re- 
membered, in  that  your  trans- 
gressions are  discovered,  so  that 
in  all  your  doings  your  sins  do 
appear ;  because,  I  say,  that  ye 
are  come  to  remembrance,  ye 
shall  be  taken  with  the  hand. 

25  ITAnd  thou,  profane  wicked 
prince  of  Is/ra-el,  whose  day  is 
come,  when  iniquity  shall  have 
an  end, 

26  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Remove  the  diadem,  and  take 
off  the  crown:  this  shall  not 
be  the  same :  exalt  him  that  is 
low,  and  abase  him  that  is  high. 

27  I  will  overturn,  overturn, 
overturn,  it :  and  it  shall  be  no 
more,  until  he  come  whose  right 
it  is ;  and  I  will  give  it  him. 

28  IT  And  thou,  son  of  man, 
prophesy  and  say,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  concerning  the 
Am'mon-Ites,  and  concerning 
their  reproach ;  even  say  thou, 
The  sword,  the  sword  is  drawn : 
for  the  slaughter  it  is  furbished, 
to  consume  because  of  the  glit- 
tering : 

29  Whiles  they  see  vanity  un- 
to thee,  whiles  they  divine  a  lie 
unto  thee,  to  bring  thee  upon 
the  necks  of  them  that  are 
slain,  of  the  wicked,  whose  day 
is  come,  when  their  iniquity 
shall  have  an  end. 

30  Shall  I  cause  it  to  return 
into  his  sheath?  I  will  judge 
thee  in  the  place  where  thou

32  Thou  shalt  be  for  fuel  to 
the  fire;  thy  blood  shall  be  in 
the  midst  of  the  land;  thou 
shalt  be  no  more  remembered : 
for  I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it 


CHAPTER  22 
Sine  of  the  J ev»e.  15  Their  diaper ticn. 

MOREOVER    the   word    of 
the  Lord  came  unto  me, 
saying, 

2  Now,  thou  son  of  man,  wilt 
thou  judge,  wilt  thou  judge  the 
bloody  city?  yea,  thou  shalt 
shew  her  all  her  abominations. 

3  Then  say  thou,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God,  The  city  shed- 
deth  blood  in  the  midst  of  it, 
that  her  time  may  come,  and 
maketh  idols  against  herself  to 
defile  herself. 

4  Thou  art  become  guilty  in 
thy  blood  that  thou  hast  shed; 
and  hast  defiled  thyself  in  thine 
idols  which  thou  hast  made; 
and  thou  hast  caused  thy  days 
to  draw  near,  and  art  come  even 
unto  thy  years:  therefore  have 
I  made  thee  a  reproach  unto  the 
heathen,  and  a  mocking  to  all 
countries. 

5  Those  that  be  near,  and 
those  that  be  far  from  thee, 
shall  mock  thee,  which  art  in- 
famous and  much  vexed. 

6  Behold,  the  princes  of  Is/- 
ra-el,  every  one  were  in  thee  to 
their  power  to  shed  blood. 

7  In  thee  have  they  set  light 
by  father  and  mother:  in  the 
midst  of  thee  have  they  dealt 
by  oppression  with  the  stran- 
ger: in  thee  have  they  vexed 
the  f  atherless  and  the  widow. 

8  Thou  hast  despised  mine 
holy  things,  and  hast  profaned 
my  sabbaths. 

9  In  thee  are  men  that  carry 
tales  to  shed  blood :  and  in  thee 
they  eat  upon  the  mountains: 
in  the  midst  of  thee  they  com- 
mit lewdness. 

10  In  thee  have  they  discov- 
ered their  fathers'  nakedness: 
in  thee  have  they  humbled  her 
that  was  set  apart  for  pollution. 

11  And  one  hath  committed 
abomination  with  his  neigh- 
bour's wife;  and  another  hath 
lewdly  defiled  his  daughter  in 
law;  and  another  in  thee  hath 
humbled  his  sister,  his  father's 
daughter. 

783 


12  In  thee  have  they  taken 
gifts  to  shed  blood;  thou  hast 
taken  usury  and  increase,  and 
thou  hast  greedily  gained  of 
thy  neighbours  by  extortion, 
and  hast  forgotten  me,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

13  Behold,  therefore  I  have 
smitten  mine  hand  at  thy  dis- 
honest gain  which  thou  hast 
made,  and  at  thy  blood  which 
hath  been  in  the  midst  of  thee. 

14  Can  thine  heart  endure,  or 
can  thine  hands  be  strong,  in 
the  days  that  I  shall  deal  with 
thee  ?  I  the  Lord  have  spoken 
it,  and  will  do  it. 

15  And  I  will  scatter  thee 
among  the  heathen,  and  dis- 
perse thee  in  the  countries,  and 
will  consume  thy  filthiness  out 
of  thee. 

16  And  thou  shalt  take  thine 
inheritance  in  thyself  in  the 
sight  of  the  heathen,  and  thou 
shalt  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

17  ITAnd  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

18  Son  of  man,  the  house  of 
Is/ra-el  is  to  me  become  dross : 
all  they  are  brass,  and  tin,  and 
iron,  and  lead,  in  the  midst  of 
the  furnace ;  they  are  even  the 
dross  of  silver. 

19  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Because  ye  are  all 
become  dross,  behold,  there- 
fore I  will  gather  you  into  the 
midst  of  Je-ru'saVlem. 

20  As  they  gather  silver,  and 
brass,  and  iron,  and  lead,  and 
tin,  into  the  midst  of  the  fur- 
nace, to  blow  the  fire  upon  it, 
to  melt  it ;  so  will  I  gather  you 
in  mine  anger  and  in  my  fury, 
and  I  will  leave  you  there,  and 
melt  you. 

21  Yea,  I  will  gather  you,  and 
blow  upon  you  in  the  fire  of  my 
wrath,  and  ye  shall  be  melted 
in  the  midst  thereof. 

22  As  silver  is  melted  in  the 
midst  of  the  furnace,  so  shall  ye 
be  melted  in  the  midst  thereof ; 
and  ye  shall  know  that  I  the 
Lord  have  poured  out  my  fury 
upon  you. 

23  IT  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

24  Son  of  man,  say  unto  her, 
Thou  art  the  land  that  is  not 
cleansed,  nor  rained  upon  in  the 
day  of  indignation. 

25  There  is  a  conspiracy  of 
her  prophets  in  the  midst  there- 
of, like  a  roaring  lion  ravening 
the  prey;  they  have  devoured 
souls ;  they  have  taken  the  treas- 
ure and  precious  things;  they 
have  made  her  many  widows  in 
the  midst  thereof.

26  Her  priests  have  violated 
my  law,  and  have  profaned  mine 
hoiv  things:  they  have  pot  no 
difference  between  the  holy  and 
profane,  neither  have  they 
shewed  difference  between  the 
unclean  and  the  clean,  and 
have  hid  their  eyes  from  my 
sabbaths,  and  I  am  profaned 
among  them. 

27  Her  princes  in  the  midst 
thereof  are  like  wolves  raven- 
ing the  prey,  to  shed  blood,  and 
to  destroy  souls,  to  get  dishonest 
gain. 

28  And  her  prophets  have 
daubed  them  with  untempered 
morter,  seeing  vanity,  and  di- 
vining lies  unto  them,  saying, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  wtjen 
the  Lord  hath  not  spoken. 

29  The  people  of  the  land 
have  used  oppression,  and  exer- 
cised robbery,  and  have  vexed 
the  poor  and  needy:  yea,  they 
have  oppressed  the  stranger 
wrongfully.  * 

30  And  I  sought  for  a  man 
among  them,  that  should  make 
up  the  hedge,  and  stand  in  the 

ip  before  me  for  the  land,  that 
should  not  destroy  it:  but  I 
found  none. 

31  Therefore  have  I  poured 
out  mine  indignation  upon 
them;  I  have  consumed  them 
with  the  fire  of  my  wrath: 
their  own  way  have  I  recom- 
pensed upon  their  heads,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

CHAPTER  23 

Whoredoms  of  Aholah  and  Aholibdh* 

rpHB  word  of  the  Lord  came 
JL  again  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  there  were  two 
women,  the  daughters  of  one 
mother: 

3  And  they  committed  whore- 
doms in  B'gypt;  they  commit- 
ted whoredoms  in  their  youth : 
there  were  their  breasts  pressed, 
and  there  they  bruised  the  teats 
of  their  virginity. 

4  And  the  names  of  them  were 
A-hGlah  the  elder,  and  A-hdTi- 
bah  her  sister:  and  they  were 
mine,  and  they  bare  sons  and 
daughters.  Thus  were  their 
names;  Sa-ma'rl-a  is  A-holah, 
and  Je*u*sa-lem  A-hOT-bah. 

5  And  A-hSlah  played  the 
harlot  when  she  was  mine ;  and 
she  doted  on  her  lovers,  on  the 
A»-sjrrl-an8  her  neighbours, 

6  Which  were  clothed  with 
blue,  captains  and  rulers,  all  of 
them  desirable  young  men, 
horsemen  riding  upon  horses. 

7  Thus   she    committed   her 


whoredoms  with  them,  with  all 
them  that  were  the  chosen  men 
of  Asrfrf-e,  and  with  all  on 
whom  she  doted:  with  all  their 
idols  she  defiled  herself. 

8  Neither  left  she  her  whore- 
doms brought  from  &'gjfpt:  for 
in  her  youth  they  lay  with  her, 
and  they  bruised  the  breasts  of 
her  virginity,  and  poured  their 
whoredom  upon  her. 

9  Wherefore  I  have  delivered 
her  into  the  hand  of  her  lovers, 
into  the  hand  of  the  As-s^rl- 
ans,  upon  whom  she  doted. 

10  These  discovered  her  na- 
kedness :  they  took  her  sons  and 
her  daughters,  and  slew  her 
with  the  sword:  and  she  be- 
came famous  among  women; 
for  they  had  executed  judg- 
ment upon  her. 

11  And  when  her  sister  A-h51'- 
i-bah  saw  this,  she  was  more 
corrupt  in  her  inordinate  love 
than  she,  and  in  her  whoredoms 
more  than  her  sister  in  her 
whoredoms. 

12  She  doted  upon  the  As-syrT- 
ang  for  neighbours,  captains  and 
rulers  clothed  most  gorgeously, 
horsemen  riding  upon  horses,  all 
of  them  desirable  young  men. 

13  Then  I  saw  that  she  was 
defiled,  that  they  took  both  one 
way, 

14  And  that  she  increased  her 
whoredoms:  for  when  she  saw 
men  pourtrayed  upon  the  wall, 
the  images  of  the  Chfil-dS'ans 
pourtrayed  with  vermilion, 

15  Girded  with  girdles  upon 
their  loins,  exceeding  in  dyed  at- 
tire upon  their  heads,  all  of 
them  princes  to  look  to,  after 
the  manner  of  the  BSb-jMd'- 
nl-ans  of  Chal-dC'a,  the  land 
of  their  nativity: 

16  And  as  soon  as  she  saw 
them  with  her  eyes,  she  doted 
upon  them,  and  sent  messen- 
gers unto  them  into  Ch&l-de'a. 

17  And  the  BSb-y-io'nl-ans 
came  to  her  into  the  bed  of  love, 
and  they  defiled  her  with  their 
whoredom,  and  she  was  pollut- 
ed with  them,  and  her  mind 
was  alienated  from  them. 

18  So  she  discovered  her 
whoredoms,  and  discovered  her 
nakedness :  then  my  mind  was 
alienated  from  her,  like  as  my 
mind  was  alienated  from  her 
sister. 

19  Yet  she  multiplied  her 
whoredoms,  in  calling  to  re- 
membrance the  days  of  her 
youth,  wherein  she  had  played 
the  harlot  in  the  land  of  ugfpt 

20  For  she  doted  upon  their 
paramours,  whose  flesh  is  as  the

flesh  of  asses,  and  whose  issue 
is  like  the  issue  of  horses. 

21  Thus  thou  calledst  to  re- 
membrance the  lewdness  of  thy 
youth,  in  bruising  thy  teats  by 
the  ft-gyp'tians  for  the  paps  of 
thy  youth. 

22  f  Therefore,  0  A-hcn-bah, 
thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Be- 
hold, I  will  raise  up  thy  lovers 
against  thee,  from  whom  thy 
mind  is  alienated,  and  I  will 
bring  them  against  thee  on  ev 
ery  side ; 

23  The  BSb-9-ld'nI-ans,  and 
all  the  Ch&l-deW  Pelcdd,  and 
ShS'a,  and  KS'a,  and  all  the 
As-syrf-ans  with  them:  all  of 
them  desirable  young  men,  cap- 
tains and  rulers,  great  lords  and 
renowned,  all  of  them  riding 
upon  horses. 

24  And  they  shall  come 
against  thee  with  chariots,  wag- 
ons, and  wheels,  and  with  an 
assembly  of  people,  which  shall 
set  against  thee  buckler  and 
shield  and  helmet  round  about: 
and  I  will  set  judgment  before 
them,  and  they  shall  judge  thee 
according  to  their  judgments. 

25  And  I  will  set  my  jealous^ 
against  thee,  and  they  shall  deal 
furiously  with  thee:  they  shall 
take  away  thy  nose  and  thine 
ears ;  and  thy  remnant  shall  fall 
by  the  sword :  they  shall  take 
thy  sons  and  thy  daughters; 
and  thy  residue  shall  be  de- 
voured by  the  fire. 

26  They  shall  also  strip  thee 
out  of  thy  clothes,  and  take 
away  thy  fair  jewels. 

27  Thus  will  I  make  thy  lewd- 
ness to  cease  from  thee,  and  thy 
whoredom  brought  from  the 
land  of  E'fcypt:  so  that  thou 
shalt  not  lift  up  thine  eves  unto 
them,  nor  remember  Egypt  any 
more. 

28  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  Behold,  I  will  deliver  thee 
into  the  hand  of  them  whom 
thou  hatest,  into  the  hand  of 
them  from  whom  thy  mind  is 
alienated: 

29  And  they  shall  deal  with 
thee  hatefully,  and  shall  take 
away  all  thy  labour,  and  shall 
leave  thee  naked  and  bare :  and 
the  nakedness  of  thy  whore- 
doms shall  be  discovered,  both 


doms. 

30  I  will  do  these  things  un- 
to thee,  because  thou  hast  gone 
a  whoring  after  the  heathen, 
and  because  thou  art  polluted 
with  their  idols. 

31  Thou  hast  walked  in  the 
way  of  thy  sister ;  therefore  will 


I  give  her  cup  into  thine  hand,  p.p.y.33. 

32  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Thou  shalt  drink  of  thy  sister's 
cup  deep  and  large :  thou  shalt 
be  laughed  to  scorn  and  had  in 
derision;  it  containeth  much. 

33  Thou  shalt  be  filled  with 
drunkenness  and  sorrow,  with 
the  cup  of  astonishment  and 
desolation,  with  the  cup  of  thy 
sister  SaVma'ri-a. 

34  Thou  shalt  even  drink  it 
and  suck  it  out,  and  thou  shalt 
break  the  sherds  thereof,  and 
pluck  off  thine  own  breasts 
for  I  have  spoken  it,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

35  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Because  thou  hast 
forgotten  me,  and  cast  me  be- 
hind thy  back,  therefore  bear 
thou  also  thy  lewdness  and  thy 
whoredoms. 

36  f  The  Lord  said  moreover 
unto  me ;  Son  of  man,  wilt  thou 
judge  A-holah  and  A-hdll-bah  ? 
yea,  declare  unto  them  their 
abominations ; 

37  That  they  have  committed 
adultery,  and  blood  is  in  their 
hands,  and  with  their  idols  have 
they  committed  adultery,  and 
have  also  caused  their  sons, 
whom  they  bare  unto  me,  to 
pass  for  them  through  the  fire, 
to  devour  them. 

38  Moreover  this  they  have 
done  unto  me:  they  have  de- 
filed my  sanctuary  in  the  same 
day,  and  have  profaned  my  sab-  Ex.16.27.  Sabbath  Desecra- 


baths. 

39  For  when  they  had  slain 
their  children  to  their  idols, 
then  they  came  the  same  day 
into  my  sanctuary  to  profane 
it;  and,  lo,  thus  have  they  done 
in  the  midst  of  mine  house. 

40  And  furthermore,  that  ye 
have  sent  for  men  to  come  from 
far,  unto  whom  a  messenger 
was  sent;  and,  lo,  they  came 
for  whom  thou  didst  wash  thy- 
self, paintedst  thy  eyes,  and 
deckedst  thyself  with  orna- 
ments, 

41  And  satest  upon  a  stately 
bed,  and  a  table  prepared  be- 
fore it,  whereupon  thou  hast  set 
mine  incense  and  mine  oil. 

42  And  a  voice  of  a  multitude 
being  at  ease  was  with  her 
and  with  the  men  of  the  com- 


thy  lewdness  and  thy  whore-  mon  sort  were  brought  Sa-be'- 


ang  from  the  wilderness,  which 
put  bracelets  upon  their  hands, 
and  beautiful  crowns  upon  their

44  Yet  they  went  in  unto  her, 
as  they  go  in  unto  a  woman 
that  playeth  the  harlot:  so 
went  they  in  unto  A-h5lah 
and  unto  A-h611-bah,  the  lewd 
women. 

45  IT  And  the  righteous  men, 
they  shall  judge  them  after  the 
manner  of  adulteresses,  and 
after  the  manner  of  women 
that  shed  blood;  because  they 
are  adulteresses,  and  blood  is 
in  their  hands. 

46  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  I  will  bring  up  a  com- 
pany upon  them,  and  will  give 
them  to  be  removed  and  spoiled. 

47  And  the  company  shall 
stone  them  with  stones,  and  dis- 
patch them  with  their  swords; 
thev  shall  slay  their  sons  and 
their  daughters,  and  burn  up 
their  houses  with  fire. 

48  Thus  will  I  cause  lewdness 
to  cease  out  of  the  land,  that 
all  women  may  be  taught  not 
to  do  after  your  lewdness. 

49  And  they  shall  recompense 
your  lewdness  upon  you,  and 
ve  shall  bear  the  sins  of  your 
idols :  and  ye  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord  God. 

CHAPTER  24 

By  a  boiling  pot  is  shewn  Jeruoa- 
lem'e  destruction. 

AGAIN  in  the  ninth  year,  in 
the  tenth  month,  in  the 
tenth  day  of  the  month,  the 
word  of  the  Lord  came  unto 


me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  write  thee  the 
name  of  the  day,  even  of  this 
same  day:  the  king  of  BaVjF- 
lon  set  himself  against  J£-ru's$- 
lem  this  same  day. 

3  And  utter  a  parable  unto  the 
rebellious  house,  and  say  unto 
them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
Set  on  a  pot,  set  it  on,  and  also 
pour  water  into  it : 

4  Gather  the  pieces  thereof 
into  it,  even  every  good  piece, 
the  thigh,  and  the  shoulder ;  fill 
it  with  the  choice  bones. 

5  Take  the  choice  of  the  flock, 
and  burn  also  the  bones  under 
it,  and  make  it  boil  well,  and 
let  them  seethe  the  bones  of  it 
therein. 

6  ITWherefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Woe  to  the  bloody 
city,  to  the  pot  whose  scum  is 
therein,  and  whose  scum  is  not 
gone  out  of  it!  bring  it  out 
piece  by  piece;  let  no  lot  fall 
upon  it. 

7  For  her  blood  is  in  the  midst 
of  her ;  she  set  it  upon  the  top 
of  a  rock;  she  poured  it  not 
noon  the  ground,  to  cover  it 
with  dust; 


8  That  it  might  cause  fury  to 
come  up  to  take  vengeance;  I 
have  set  her  blood  upon  the 
top  of  a  rock,  that  it  should  not 
be  covered. 

9  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Woe  to  the  bloody 
city !  I  will  even  make  the  pile 
for  fire  great. 

10  Heap  on  wood,  kindle  the 
fire,  consume  the  flesh,  and 
spice  it  well,  and  let  the  bones 
be  burned. 

11  Then  set  it  empty  upon 
the  coals  thereof,  that  the  brass 
of  it  may  be  hot,  and  may  burn, 
and  that  the  filthiness  of  it  may 
be  molten  in  it,  that  the  scum 
of  it  may  be  consumed. 

12  She  hath  wearied  herself 
with  lies,  and  her  great  scum 
went  not  forth  out  of  her:  her 
scum  shall  be  in  the  fire. 

13  In  thy  "filthiness  is  lewd- 
ness: because  I  have  purged 
thee,  and  thou  wast  not  purged, 
thou  shalt  not  be  purged  from 
thy  filthiness  any  more,  till  I 
have  caused  my  fury  to  rest 
upon  thee. 

14  I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it : 
it  shall  come  to  pass,  and  I  will 
do  it ;  I  will  not  go  back,  nei- 
ther will  I  spare,  neither  will  I 
repent ;  according  to  thy  ways, 
and  according  to  thy  doings, 
shall  they  judge  thee,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

15  IF  Also  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

16  Son  of  man,  behold,  I  take 
away  from  thee  the  desire  of 
thine  eyes  with  a  stroke:  yet 
neither  shalt  thou  mourn  nor 
weep,  neither  shall  thy  tears 
run  down. 

17  Forbear  to  cry,  make  no 
mourning  for  the  dead,  bind 
the  tire  of  thine  head  upon 
thee,  and  put  on  thy  shoes  up- 
on thy  feet,  and  cover  not  thy 
lips,  and  eat  not  the  bread  of 
men. 

18  So  I  spake  unto  the  people 
in  the  morning:  and  at  even 
my  wife  died ;  and  I  did  in  the 
morning  as  I  was  commanded. 

19  IT  And  the  people  said  unto 
me,  Wilt  thou  not  tell  us  what 
these  things  are  to  us,  that 
thou  doest  so  ? 

20  Then  I  answered  them,  The 
word  of  the  Lord  came  unto 
me,  saying, 

21  Speak  unto  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  Behold,  I  will  profane  my 
sanctuary,  the  excellency  of 
your  strength,  the  desire  of 
your  eyes,  and  that  which  your 
soul  pitieth ;  and  your  sons  and

your  daughters  whom  ye  have 
left  shall  fall  by  the  sword. 

22  And  ye  shall  do  as  I  have 
done:  ye  shall  not  cover  your 
lips,  nor  eat  the  bread  of  men. 

23  And  your  tires  shall  be  up- 
on your  heads,  and  your  shoes 
upon  your  feet:  ye  shall  not 
mourn  nor  weep;  but  ye  shall 
pine  away  for  your  iniquities, 
and  mourn  one  toward  another. 

24  Thus  fi-zTkl-el  is  unto  you 
a  sign :  according  to  all  that  he 
hath  done  shall  ye  do:  and 
when  this  cometn,  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord  God. 

25  Also,  thou  son  of  man, 
shall  it  not  be  in  the  day  when 
I  take  from  them  their  strength, 
the  joy  of  their  glory,  the  de- 
sire of  their  eyes,  and  that 
whereupon  they  set  their  minds, 
their  sons  and  their  daughters, 

26  That  he  that  escapeth  in 
that  day  shall  come  unto  thee, 
to  cause  thee  to  hear  it  with 
thine  ears? 

27  In  that  day  shall  thy  mouth 
be  opened  to  him  which  is  es- 
caped, and  thou  shalt  speak, 
and  be  no  more  dumb:  and 
thou  shalt  be  a  sign  unto  them ; 
and  they  shall  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  25 

God's  vengeance  on  the  Ammonite*, 
Moab,  Seir,  and  upon  the  Philis- 
tines. 

THE  word  of  the  Lord  came 
again  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face 
against  the  Am'mon-ites,  and 
prophesy  against  them: 

3  And  say  unto  the  Am'mon- 
ites,  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord 
God;  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  Because  thou  saidst,  Aha, 
against  my  sanctuary,  when  it 
was  profaned;  and  against  the 
land  of  Is/ra-el,  when  it  was 
desolate ;  and  against  the  house 
of  J&'dah,  when  they  went  into 
captivity ; 

4  Behold,  therefore  I  will  de- 
liver thee  to  the  men  of  the 
east  for  a  possession,  and  they 
shall  set  their  palaces  in  thee, 
and  make  their  dwellings  in 
thee:  they  shall  eat  thy  fruit, 
and  they  shall  drink  thy  milk. 

5  And  I  will  make  RaVbah  a 
stable  for  camels,  and  the  Am'- 
mon-ites  a  couching  place  for 
flocks:  and  ye  shall  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord. 

6  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
Because  thou  hast  clapped 
thine  hands,  and  stamped  with 
the  feet,  and  rejoiced  m  heart 
with  all  thy  despite  against  the 
land  of  Is/ra-el; 

787 


7  Behold,  therefore  I  will 
stretch  out  mine  hand  upon 
thee,  and  will  deliver  thee  for 
a  spoil  to  the  heathen;  and  I 
will  cut  thee  off  from  the  peo- 
ple, and  I  will  cause  thee  to 
perish  out  of  the  countries:  I 
will  destroy  thee;  and  thou 
shalt  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

8  IT  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Because  that  Md'ab  and  S€lr  do 
say,  Behold,  the  house  of  Ju'- 
dah  is  like  unto  all  the  heathen ; 

9  Therefore,  behold,  I  will 
open  the  side  of  Md'ab  from  the 
cities,  from  his  cities  which  are 
on  his  frontiers,  the  glory  of 
the  country,  B£th-j£sh'i-m5th, 
B&'al-mS'on,  and  Kir-i-a-th&'im, 

10  Unto  the  men  of  the  east 
with  the  Am'mon-ites,  and  will 
give  them  in  possession,  that 
the  Am'mon-ites  may  not  be  re- 
membered among  the  nations. 

11  And  I  will  execute  judg- 
ments upon  Md'ab;  and  they 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

12  1T  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
Because  that  Cdom  hath  dealt 
against  the  house  of  Ju'dah  by 
talcing    vengeance,   and   hath 

greatly  offended,  and  revenged 
imself  upon  them ; 

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  I  will  also  stretch 
out  mine  hand  upon  Cdom,  and 
will  cut  off  man  and  beast  from 
it ;  and  I  will  make  it  desolate 
from  Te'man ;  and  they  of  De'- 
dan  shall  fall  by  the  sword.  \ 

14  And  I  will  lay  my  venge- 
ance upon  Cdom  by  the  hand 
of  my  people  Is/ra-el :  and  they 
shall  do  in  Cdom  according  to 
mine  anger  and  according  to 
my  fury;  and  they  shall  know 
my  vengeance,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

15  Trhus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
Because  the  Phl-lls'tines  have 
dealt  by  revenge,  and  have 
taken  vengeance  with  a  despite- 
ful heart,  to  destroy  it  for  the 
old  hatred ; 

16  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Behold,  I  will  stretch 
out  mine  hand  upon  the  Phi- 
lis'tines,  and  I  will  cut  off  the 
ChSrVthfms,  and  destroy  the 
remnant  of  the  sea  coast. 

17  And  I  will  execute  great 
vengeance  upon  them  with 
furious  rebukes ;  and  they  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when 
I  shall  lay  my  vengeance,  upon 
them.

day  of  the  month,  that  the 
word  of  the  Lord  came  unto 
me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  because  that 
Ty'rus  hath  said  against  Je-ru' 
s£-l£m,  Aha,  she  is  broken  that 
was  the  gates  of  the  people, 
she  is  turned  unto  me:  I  shall 
be  replenished,  now  she  is  laid 
waste: 

3  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Behold,  I  am  against 
thee,  0  Ty^rus,  and  will  cause 
many  nations  to  come  up 
against  thee,  as  the  sea  caus- 
eth  his  waves  to  come  up. 

4  And  they  shall  destroy  the 
walls  of  Ty'rus,  and  break  down 
her  towers:  I  will  also  scrape 
her  dust  from  her,  and  make 
her  like  the  top  of  a  rock. 

5  It  shall  be  a  place  for  the 
spreading  of  nets  in  the  midst 
of  the  sea:  for  I  have  spoken 
it,  saith  the  Lord  God:  and  it 
shall  become  a  spoil  to  the  na- 
tions. 

6  And  her  daughters  which 
are  in  the  field  shall  be  slain 
by  the  sword;  and  they  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

7  HFor  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  Behold,  I  will  bring  upon 
TV'nis  NSb-u-chad-rfcz'zar  king 
of  Baby-Ion,  a  king  of  kings, 
from  the  north,  with  horses, 
and  with  chariots,  and  with 
horsemen,  and  companies,  and 
much  people. 

8  He  shall  slay  with  the  sword 
thy  daughters  in  the  field :  and 
he  shall  make  a  fort  against 
thee,  and  cast  a  mount  against 
thee,  and  lift  up  the  buckler 
against  thee. 

9  And  he  shall  set  engines  of 
war  against  thy  walls,  and  with 
his  axes  he  shall  break  down 
thy  towers. 

10  By  reason  of  the  abun- 
dance of  his  horses  their  dust 
shall  cover  thee :  thy  walls  shall 
shake  at  the  noise  of  the  horse- 
men, and  of  the  wheels,  and  of 
the  chariots,  when  he  shall 
enter  into  thy  gates,  as  men 
enter  into  a  city  wherein  is 
made  a  breach. 

11  With  the  hoofs  of  his 
horses  shall  he  tread  down  all 
thy  streets:  he  shall  slay  thy 
people  by  the  sword,  and  thy 
strong  garrisons  shall  go  down 
to  the  ground. 

12  And  they  shall  make  a 
spoil  of  thy  riches,  and  make 
a  prey   of  thy   merchandise : 

id  they  shall  break  down  thy 
walls,  and  destroy  thy  pleasant 
houses :  and  they  shall  lay  thy 
stones  and  thy  timber  and  thy 


dust  in  the  midst  of  the  water. 

13  And  I  will  cause  the  noise 
of  thy  songs  to  cease;  and  the 
sound  of  thy  harps  shall  be  no 
more  heard. 

14  And  I  will  make  thee  like 
the  top  of  a  rock:  thou  shalt 
be  a  place  to  spread  nets  upon ; 
thou  shalt  be  built  no  more: 
for  I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

15  HThus  saith  the  Lord  God 
to  Ty'rus;  Shall  not  the  isles 
shake  at  the  sound  of  thy  fall, 
when  the  wounded  cry,  when 
the  slaughter  is  made  in  the 
midst  of  thee? 

16  Then  all  the  princes  of  the 
sea  shall  come  down  from  their 
thrones,  and  lay  away  their 
robes,  and  put  off  their  broid- 
ered  garments:  they  shall  clothe 
themselves  with  trembling; 
they  shall  sit  upon  the  ground, 
and  shall  tremble  at  every  mo- 
ment, and  be  astonished  at  thee. 

17  And  they  shall  take  up  a 
lamentation  for  thee,  and  say 
to  thee,  How  art  thou  destroyed, 
that  wast  inhabited  of  seafar- 
ing men,  the  renowned  city, 
which  wast  strong  in  the  sea, 
she  and  her  inhabitants,  which 
cause  their  terror  to  be  on  all 
that  haunt  it ! 

18  Now  shall  the  isles  tremble 
in  the  day  of  thy  fall ;  yea,  the 
isles  that  are  in  the  sea  shall 
be  troubled  at  thy  departure. 

19  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  When  I  shall  make  thee 
a  desolate  city,  like  the  cities 
that  are  not  inhabited ;  when  I 
shall  bring  up  the  deep  upon 
thee,  and  great  waters  shall 
cover  thee ; 

20  When  I  shall  bring  thee 
down  with  them  that  descend 
into  the  pit,  with  the  people  of 
old  time,  and  shall  set  thee  in 
the  low  parts  of  the  earth,  in 
places  desolate  of  old,  with 
them  that  go  down  to  the  pit, 
that  thou  be  not  inhabited; 
and  I  shall  set  glory  in  the  land 
of  the  living; 

21  I  will  make  thee  a  terror, 
and  thou  shalt  be  no  more: 
though  thou  be  sought  for,  yet 
shalt  thou  never  be  found  again, 
saith  the  Lord  God.

of  the  people  for  many  isles, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  O 
Ty'rus,  thou  hast  said,  I  am  of 
perfect  beauty. 

4  Thy  borders  are  in  the 
midst  of  the  seas,  thy  builders 
have  perfected  thy  beauty. 

5  They  have  made  all  thy  ship 
boards  of  fir  trees  of  Se'nir: 
they  have  taken  cedars  from 
LeVa-non  to  make  masts  for 
thee. 

6  0/ the  oaks  of  Ba'shfin  have 
they  made  thine  oars;  the 
company  of  the  Ash'ihMtes  have 
made  thy  benches  of  ivory, 
brought  out  of  the  isles  of 
Chiftim. 

7  Fine  linen  with  broidered 
work  from  ffgypt  was  that 
which  thou  spreadest  forth  to 
be  thy  sail;  blue  and  purple 
from  the  isles  of  fi-li'shan  was 
that  which  covered  thee. 

8  The  inhabitants  of  Zi'ddn 
and  Ar'vfid  were  thy  mariners: 
thy  wise  men,  O  Ty'rus,  that 
were  in  thee,  were  thy  pilots. 

9  The  ancients  of  Grbal  and 
the  wise  men  thereof  were  in 
thee  thy  calkers:  all  the  ships 
of  the  sea  with  their  mariners 
were  in  thee  to  occupy  thy 
merchandise. 

10  They  of  Persia  and  of  Lud 
and  of  Phi&t  were  in  thine  army, 
thy  men  of  war:  they  hanged 
the  shield  and  helmet  in  thee; 
they  set  forth  thy  comeliness. 

11  The  men  of  Ar'vfid  with 
thine  army  were  upon  thy 
walls  round  about,  and  the 
Gfim'ma-dims.  were  in  thy  tow- 
ers: they  hanged  their  shields 
upon  thy  walls  round  about; 
they  have  made  thy  beauty  per- 
fect 

12  TaYshish  woe  thy  mer- 
chant by  reason  of  the  multi- 
tude of  all  kind  of  riches;  with 
silver,  iron,  tin,  and  lead,  they 
traded  in  thy  fairs. 

13  Jft'vfin,  TuTmiI,  and  MS'- 
shech,  they  were  thy  mer- 
chants :  they  traded  the  persons 
of  men  and  vessels  of  brass  in 
thy  market. 

14  They  of  the  house  of  T6- 
gaVmah  traded  in  thy  fairs  with 
horses  and  horsemen  and  mules. 

15  The  men  of  DS'dan  were 
thy  merchants;  many  isles 
were  the  merchandise  of  thine 
hand:  they  brought  thee  for  a 
present  horns  of  ivory  and 
ebony. 

16  Sjhrl-a  was  thy  merchant 
by  reason  of  the  multitude  of 
the  wares  of  thy  making:  they 
occupied  in  thy  fairs  with  em- 
eralds, purple,    and   broidered 


work,  and  fine  linen,  and  coral, 
and  agate. 

17  Jfi'dah,  and  the  land  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  they  were  thy  merchants : 
they  traded  in  thy  market 
wheat  of  Min'nith,  and  Pfin'nfig, 
and  honey,  and  oil,  and  balm. 

18  D§-maVcus  was  thy  mer- 
chant in  the  multitude  of  the 
wares  of  thy  making,  for  the 
multitude  of  all  riches;  in  the 
wine  of  HeTbon,  and  white  wool. 

19  Dan  also  and  Jfi'vfin  going 
to  and  fro  occupied  in  thy  fairs : 
bright  iron,  cassia,  and  calamus, 
were  in  thy  market 

20*De'dan  was  thy  merchant 
in  precious  clothes  for  chariots. 

21  A-rfi'bl-a,  and  all  the  prin- 
ces of  Kffaar,  they  occupied 
with  thee  in  lambs,  and  rams, 
and  goats :  in  these  were  they 
thy  merchants. 

22  The  merchants  of  She"ba 
and  Ra'a-mah,  they  were  thy 
merchants:  they  occupied  in 
thy  fairs  with  chief  of  all 
spices,  and  with  all  precious 
stones,  and  gold. 

23  Hfi'ran,  and  Cfin'neh*  and 
EMeri,  the  merchants  of  ShS'ba, 
As'shur,  and  ChiTmfid,  were  thy 
merchants. 

24  These  were  thy  merchants 
in  all  sorts  of  things,  in  blue 
clothes,  and  broidered  work,  and 
in  chests  of  rich  apparel,  bound 
with  cords,  and  made  of  cedar, 
among  thy  merchandise. 

25  'Hie  ships  of  TaYshish  did 
sing  of  thee  in  thy  market :  and 
thou  wast  replenished,  and  made 
very  glorious  in  the  midst  of  the 
seas. 

26  TThy  rowers  have  brought 
thee  into  great  waters :  the  east 
wind  hath  broken  thee  in  the 
midst  of  the  seas. 

27  Thy  riches,  and  thy  fairs, 
thy  merchandise,  thy  mariners, 
and  thy  pilots,  thy  calkers,  and 
the  occupiers  of  thy  merchan- 
dise, and  all  thy  men  of  war, 
that  are  in  thee,  and  in  all  thy 
company  which  is  in  the  midst 
of  thee,  shall  fall  into  the  midst 
of  the  seas  in  the  day  of  thy  ruin. 

28  The  suburbs  shall  shake 
at  the  sound  of  the  cry  of  thy 
pilots. 

29  And  all  that  handle  the  oar, 
the  mariners,  and  all  the  pilots 
of  the  sea,  shall  come  down  from 
their  ships,  they  shall  stand  up- 
on the  land ; 

30  And  shall  cause  their  voice 
to  be  heard  against  thee,  and 
shall  cry  bitterly,  and  shall  cast 
up  dust  upon  their  heads,  they 
shall  wallow  themselves  in  the 
ashes:

of  thy  merchandise.

pany in  the  midst  of  thee  shall

36  The  merchants  among  the 
people  shall  hiss  at  thee ;  thou 
shalt  be  a  terror,  and  never 
shalt  be  any  more. 

CHAPTER  28 

God's  judgment  e/  TyntM  and 
Zidon. 

THE  word  of  the  Lord  came 
again  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  say  unto  the 
prince  of  Tf'rus,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  ;  Because  thine  heart 
is  lifted  up,  and  thou  hast 
said,  I  am  a  God,  I  sit  in  the 
seat  of  God,  in  the  midst  of  the 

is ;  yet  thou  art  a  man,  and 
not  God,  though  thou  set  thine 
heart  as  the  heart  of  God : 

3  Behold,  thou  art  wiser  than 
D&n'iel ;  there  is  no  secret  that 
they  can  hide  from  thee : 

4  With  thy  wisdom  and  with 
thine  understanding  thou  hast 
gotten  thee  riches,  and  hast  got- 
ten gold  and  silver  into  thy 
treasures: 

5  By  thy  great  wisdom  and 
by  thy  traffick  hast  thou  in- 
creased thv  riches,  and  thine 
heart  is  lifted  up  because  of 
thy  riches: 

6  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Because  thou  hast 
set  thine  heart  as  the  heart  of 
God; 

7  Behold,  therefore  I  will 
bring  strangers  upon  thee,  the 
terrible  of  the  nations:  and  they 
shall  draw  their  swords  against 
the  beauty  of  thy  wisdom,  and 
they  shall  defile  thy  brightness. 


8  They  shall  bring  thee  down 
to  the  pit,  and  thou  shalt  die 
the  deaths  of  them  that  are 
slain  in  the  midst  of  the  seas. 

9  Wilt  thou  yet  say  before  him 
that  slayeth  thee,  I  am  God? 
but  thou  shalt  be  a  man,  and  no 
God,  in  the  hand  of  him  that 
slayeth  thee. 

10  Thou  shalt  die  the  deaths 
of  the  uncircumcised  by  the 
hand  of  strangers:  for  I  have 
spoken  it,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

11  ^Moreover  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

12  Son  of  man,  take  up  a  lam- 
entation upon  the  king  of  Ty'- 
rus,  and  say  unto  him,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  ;  Thou  seal- 
est  up  the  sum,  full  of  wisdom, 
and  perfect  in  beauty. 

13  Thou  hast  been  in  ffden 
the  garden  of  God ;  every  pre- 
cious stone  was  thy  covering, 
the  sardius,  topaz,  and  the  dia- 
mond, the  beryl,  the  onyx,  and 
the  jasper,  the  sapphire,  the 
emerald,  and  the  carbuncle,  and 
gold:  the  workmanship  of  thy 
tabrets  and  of  thy  pipes  was 
prepared  in  thee  in  the  day 
that  thou  wast  created. 

14  Thou  art  the  anointed 
cherub  that  covereth;  and 
have  set  thee  so:  thou  wast 
upon  the  holy  mountain  of  God ; 
thou  hast  walked  up  and  down 
in  the  midst  of  the  stones  of 
fire. 

15  Thou  wast  perfect  in  thy 
ways  from  the  day  that  thou 
wast  created,  till  iniquity  was 
found  in  thee. 

16  By  the  multitude  of  thy 
merchandise  they  have  filled 
the  midst  of  thee  with  violence, 
and  thou  hast  sinned:  there- 
fore I  will  cast  thee  as  profane 
out  of  the  mountain  of  God: 
and  I  will  destroy  thee,  O  cover- 
ing cherub,  from  the  midst  of 
the  stones  of  fire. 

17  Thine  heart  was  lifted  np 
because  of  thy  beauty,  thou 
hast  corrupted  thy  wisdom  by 
reason  of  thy  brightness :  I  will 
cast  thee  to  the  ground,  I  will 
lay  thee  before  kings,  that  they 
may  behold  thee. 

18  Thou  hast  defiled  thy  sanc- 
tuaries by  the  multitude  of  thine 
iniquities,  by  the  iniquity  of 
thv  traffick;  therefore  will  I 
bring  forth  a  fire  from  the  midst 
of  thee,  it  shall  devour  thee, 
and  I  will  bring  thee  to  ashes 
upon  the  earth  in  the  sight  of 
all  them  that  behold  thee. 

19  All  they  that  know  thee 
among  the  people  shall  be  as- 
tonished at  thee :  thou  shalt  be

be  any  more. 

20  if  Again  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

21  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face 
against  Zi'ddn,  and  prophesy 
against  it, 

22  And  say,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  ;  Behold,  I  am  against 
thee,  O  Zi'ddn;  and  I  will  be 
glorified  in  the  midst  of  thee: 
and  they  shall  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord,  when  I  shall  have  ex- 
ecuted judgments  in  her,  and 
shall  be  sanctified  in  her. 

23  For  I  will  send  into  her 
pestilence,  and  blood  into  her 
streets ;  and  the  wounded  shall 
be  judged  in  the  midst  of  her 
by  the  sword  upon  her  on  every 
side ;  and  they  shall  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord. 

24  U  And  there  shall  be  no 
more  a  pricking  brier  unto  the 
house  of  Is/ra-el,  nor  any  griev- 
ing thorn  of  all  that  are  round 
about  them,  that  despised  them ; 
and  they  shall  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord  God. 

25  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
When  I  shall  have  gathered  the 
house  of  Is/ra-el  from  the  peo- 
ple among  whom  they  are  scat- 
tered, and  shall  be  sanctified  in 
them  in  the  sight  of  the  hea- 
then, then  shall  they  dwell  in 
their  land  that  I  have  given  to 
my  servant  Ja'cob. 

26  And  they  shall  dwell  safely 
therein,  and  shall  build  houses, 
and  plant  vineyards;  yea,  they 
shall  dwell  with  confidence, 
when  I  have  executed  judg- 
ments upon  all  those  that  de- 
spise them  round  about  them; 
and  they  shall  know  that  I  am

CHAPTER  29 


Judgment 


of   Pharaoh:  d—olation 
oj  Egypt. 


IN  the  tenth  year,  in  the  tenth 
month,  in  the  twelfth  day 
of  the  month,  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face 
against  Pha'raSh  king  of  E'gypt, 
and  prophesy  against  him,  and 

T install  KWpt: 
Speak,  and  say,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God;  Behold,  I  am 
against  thee,  Phfi'raSh  king  of 
E'fcypt,  the  great  dragon  that 
lieth  in  the  midst  of  his  rivers, 
which  hath  said,  My  river  is 
mine  own,  and  I  have  made  it 
for  myself. 

4  But  I  will  put  hooks  in  thy 
jaws,  and  I  will  cause  the  fish 
of  thy  rivers  to  stick  unto  thy 
scales,  and  I  will  bring  thee  up 


out  of  the  midst  of  thy  rivers, 
and  all  the  fish  of  thy  rivers 
shall  stick  unto  thy  scales. 

5  And  I  will  leave  thee  thrown 
into  the  wilderness,  thee  and  all 
the  fish  of  thy  rivers :  thou  shalt 
fall  upon  the  open  fields;  thou 
shalt  not  be  brought  together, 
nor  gathered :  I  have  given  thee 
for  meat  to  the  beasts  of  the 
field  and  to  the  fowls  of  the 
heaven. 

6  And  all  the  inhabitants  of 
E'&ypt  8naU  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord,  because  they  have  been 
a  staff  of  reed  to  the  house  of 
Is/ra-el. 

7  When  they  took  hold  of  thee 
by  thy  hand,  thou  didst  break, 
and  rend  all  their  shoulder :  and 
when  they  leaned  upon  thee, 
thou  brakest,  and  madest  all 
their  loins  to  be  at  a  stand. 

8  ^Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  ;  Behold,  I  will  bring 
a  sword  upon  thee,  and  cut  off 
man  and  beast  out  of  thee. 

9  And  the  land  of  E'jtfpt  shall 
be  desolate  and  waste;  and 
they  shall  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord:  because  he  hath  said. 
The  river  is  mine,  and  I  have 
made  it. 

10  Behold,  therefore  I  am 
against  thee,  and  against  thy 
rivers,  and  I  will  make  the  land 
of  E'&jrpt  utterly  waste  and 
desolate,  from  the  tower  of  Sy- 
g'nS  even  unto  the  border  of 
E-thWpi-a. 

11  No  foot  of  man  shall  pass 
through  it,  nor  foot  of  beast 
shall  pass  through  it,  neither 
shall  it  be  inhabited  forty  years. 

12  And  I  will  make  the  land 
of  E'gjfpt  desolate  in  the  midst 
of  the  countries  that  are  deso- 
late, and  her  cities  among  the 
cities  that  are  laid  waste  shall 
be  desolate  forty  years:  and  I 
will  scatter  the  fi-ftyp'tians. 
among  the  nations,  and  will  dis- 
perse them  through  the  coun- 
tries. 

13  YJTet  thus  saith  the  Lord 


peoi 
were  scattered : 

14  And  I  will  bring  again  the 
captivity  of  E'&jrpt,  and  will 
cause  them  to  return  into  the 
land  of  Path'ros,  into  the  land  of 
their  habitation ;  and  they  shall 
be  there  a  base  kingdom. 

15  It  shall  be  the  basest  of 
the  kingdoms;  neither  shall  it 
exalt  itself  any  more  above  the 
nations:  for  I  will  diminish 
them,  that  they  shall  no  more 
rule  over  the  nations.

16  And  it  shall  be  no  more 
the  confidence  of  the  house  of 
Ig'ra-el,  which  bringeth  their 
iniquity  to  remembrance,  when 
they  shall  look  after  them :  but 
they  shall  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord  God. 

17  IfAnd  it  came  to  pass  in 
the  seven  and  twentieth  year, 
in  the  first  month,  in  the  first 
day  of  the  month,  the  word  of 
the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

18  Son  of  man,  Ndb-u-chaa- 
reVzar  king  of  BaVjMon  caused 
his  army  to  serve  a  great  serv- 
ice against  Ty'rus :  every  head 
was  made  bald,  and  every  shoul 
der  was  peeled :  yet  had  he  no 
wages,  nor  his  army,  for  Ty'rus, 
for  the  service,  that  he  had 
served  against  it: 

19  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Behold,  I  will  give 
the  land  of  E'gypt  unto  Nfcb-u- 
chad-rgz'zar  king  of  B&b'jMon; 
and  he  shall  take  her  multitude, 
and  take  her  spoil,  and  take  her 
prey ;  and  it  shall  be  the  wages 
for  his  army. 

20  I  have  given  him  the  land 
of  E'gfpt  for  his  labour  where- 
with he  served  against  it,  be- 
cause they  wrought  for  me,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

21  In  that  day  will  I  cause 
the  horn  of  the  house  of  Is/ra-el 
to  bud  forth,  and  I  will  give  thee 
the  opening  of  the  mouth  in  the 
midst  of  them ;  and  they  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord.    . 

CHAPTER  30 
Desolation  of  Egypt  and  her  helper*. 

rpHE  word  of  the  Lord  came 
X   again  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  prophesy  and 
say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
Howl  ye,  Woe  worth  the  day ! 

3  For  the  day  is  near,  even 
the  day  of  the  Lord  is  near,  a 
cloudy  day ;  it  shall  be  the  time 
of  the  heathen. 

4  And  the  sword  shall  come 
upon  E'gfpt,  and  great  pain 
shall  be  in  £-thi-o'pi-a,  when 
the  slain  shall  fall  in  E'&ypt, 
and  they  shall  take  away  her 
multitude,  and  her  foundations 
shall  be  broken  down. 

5  £-thi-o'pi-a,  and  Lib'jF-a,  and 
Lydl-a,  and  all  the  mingled  peo- 
ple, and  Chub,  and  the  men  of 
the  land  that  is  in  league, 
shall  fall  with  them  by  the 
sword. 

6  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  They 
also  that  uphold  E'&ypt  shall 
fall ;  and  the  pride  of  her  power 
shall  come  down:  from  the 
tower  of  Sy-e'ne  shall  they  fall 


in  it  by  the  sword*  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

7  And  tbey  shall  be  desolate 
in  the  midst  of  the  countries 
that  are  desolate,  and  her  cities 
shall  be  in  the  midst  of  the  cities 
that  are  wasted. 

8  And  they  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord,  when  I  have  set 
a  fire  in  E'gypt,  and  when  all 
her  helpers  shall  be  destroyed. 

9  In  that  day  shall  messen- 
gers go  forth  from  me  in  ships 
to  make  the  careless  E-thi-6'pi- 
ans.  afraid,  and  great  pain  shall 
come  upon  them,  as  in  the  day 
of  E'gypt :  for,  lo,  it  cometh. 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
I  will  also  make  the  multitude 
of  E'gypt  to  cease  by  the  hand 
of  N6b-u-chad-reViar  king  of 
Bab'f-lon. 

11  He  and  his  people  with 
him,  the  terrible  of  the  nations, 
shall  be  brought  to  destroy  the 
land :  and  they  shall  draw  their 
swords  against  E'gypt,  and  fill 
the  land  with  the  slain. 

12  And  I  will  make  the  rivers 
dry,  and  sell  the  land  into  the 
hand  of  the  wicked:  and  I  will 
make  the  land  waste,  and  all 
that  is  therein,  by  the  hand  of 
strangers:  I  the  Lord  have 
spoken  it. 

13  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
I  will  also  destroy  the  idols,  and 
I  will  cause  their  images  to 
cease  out  of  N5ph ;  and  there 
shall  be  no  more  a  prince  of 
the  land  of  E'gypt:  and  I  will 
put  a  fear  in  the  land  of  E'ftypt 

14  And  I  will  make  Path'ros 
desolate,  and  will  set  fire  in 
ZO'an,  and  will  execute  judg- 
ments in  Nd. 

15  And  I  will  pour  my  fury 
upon  Sin,  the  strength  of 
E'gypt ;  and  I  will  cut  off  the 
multitude  of  N6. 

16  And  I  will  set  fire  in  E'&jrpt 
Sin  shall  have  great  pain,  and 
N6  shall  be  rent  asunder,  and 
Ndph  shall  have  distresses 
daily. 

17  The  young  men  of  A'ven 
and  of  Pi-bTseth  shall  fall  by 
the  sword:  and  these  cities 
shall  go  into  captivity. 

18  At  TS-h&ph'ne-hes  also  the 
day  shall  be  darkened,  when  I 
shall  break  there  the  yokes  of 
E'gypt:  and  the  pomp  of  her 
strength  shall  cease  in  her:  as 
for  her,  a  cloud  shall  cover  her, 
and  her  daughters  shall  go  into 
captivity. 

19  Thus  will  I  execute  ju< 
merits  in  E'gypt:  and  they  sf 
know  that  lam  the  Lord.

&'g?Pt  t  *&<]»  1°>  *t  shall  not  be 
bound  up  to  be  healed,  to  put  a 
roller  to  bind  it,  to  make  it 
strong  to  hold  the  sword. 

22  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  ;  Behold,  I  am  against 
Pha'raoh  king  of  E'fcypt,  and 
will  break  his  arms,  the  strong, 
and  that  which  was  broken; 
and  I  will  cause  the  sword  to 
fall  out  of  his  hand. 

23  And  I  will  scatter  the 
£-gyp'tiana  among  the  nations, 

and  will  disperse  them  through 
the  countries. 

24  And  I  will  strengthen  the 
arms  of  the  king  of  B&b'y-lon, 
and  put  my  sword  in  his  hand : 
but  I  will  break  Phfi'raoh's  arms, 
and  he  shall  groan  before  him 
with  the  groanings  of  a  deadly 
wounded  man. 

25  But  I  will  strengthen  the 
arms  of  the  kingof  B&b'jMon, 
and  the  arms  of  Pha'raoh  shall 
fall  down ;  and  they  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I 
shall  put  my  sword  into  the 
hand  of  the  king  of  B&b'y-lon, 
and  he  shall,  stretch  it  out  upon 
the  land  of  E'gf  pt 

26  And  I  will  scatter  the 
ftpgfp'tians  among  the  nations, 
and  disperse  them  among  the 
countries ;  and  they  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord. 


CHAPTER  31 

The  glory  of  Assyria*    10  Its  gnat 
fall 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
eleventh  year,  in  the  third 
month,  in  the  first  day  of  the 
month,  that  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  speak  unto  PhJL'- 
raoh  king  of  E'fcjfpt,  and  to  his 
multitude ;  Whom  art  thou  like 
in  thy  greatness? 

3  Behold,  the  As-sjhrl-an  was 
a  cedar  in  LeVa-non  with  fair 
branches,  and  with  a  shadow- 
ing shroud,  and  of  an  high 
stature ;  and  his  top  was  among 
the  thick  boughs. 

4  The  waters  made  him  great, 
the  deep  set  him  up  .on  high 
with  her  rivers  running  round 
about  his  plants,  and  sent  out 
her  little  rivers  unto  alK  the 
trees  of  the  field. 

5  Therefore  his  height  was 
exalted  above  all  the  trees  of 
the  field,  and  his  boughs  were 
multiplied,  and  his  branches  be- 
came long  because  of  the  multi 

793 


tude  of  waters,  when  he  shot 
forth. 

6  All  the  fowls  of  heaven 
made  their  nests  in  his  boughs, 
and  under  his  branches  did  all 
the  beasts  of  the  field  bring 
forth  their  young,  and  under 
his  shadow  dwelt  all  great  na- 
tions. 

7  Thus  was  he  fair  in  his 
greatness,  in  the  length  of  his 
branches:  for  his  root  was  by 
great  waters. 

8  The  cedars  in  the  garden  of 
God  could  not  hide  him:  the 
fir  trees  were  not  like  his 
boughs,  and  the  chesnut  trees 
were  not  like  his  branches ;  nor 
any  tree  in  the  garden  of  God 
was  like  unto  him  in  his  beauty. 

9  I  have  made  him  fair  by  the 
multitude  of  his  branches:  so 
that  all  the  trees  of  E'den,  that 
were  in  the  garden  of  God, 
envied  him. 

10  ^Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Because  thou  hast 
lifted  up  thyself  in  height,  and 
he  hath  shot  up  his  top  among 
the  thick  boughs,  and  his  heart 
is  lifted  up  in  his  height ; 

11  I  have  therefore  delivered 
him  into  the  hand  of  the  mighty 
one  of  the  heathen;  he  shall 
surely  deal  with  him:  I  have 
driven  him  out  for  his  wicked- 
ness. 

12  And  strangers,  the  terrible 
of  the  nations,  have  cut  him  off, 
and  have  left  him:  upon  the 
mountains  and  in  all  the  valleys 
his  branches  are  fallen,  and  his 
boughs  are  broken  by  all  the  riv- 
ers of  the  land ;  and  all  the  peo- 
ple of  the  earth  are  gone  down 
from  his  shadow,  and  have  left 
him. 

13  Upon  his  ruin  shall  all  the 
fowls  of  the  heaven  remain,  and 
all  the  beasts  of  the  field  shall 
be  upon  his  branches : 

14  To  the  end  that  none  of 
all  the  trees  by  the  waters  ex- 
alt themselves  for  their  height, 
neither  shoot  up  their  top 
among  the  thick  boughs,  nei- 
ther their  trees  stand  up  in 
their  height,  all  that  drink 
water:  for  they  are  all  deliv- 
ered unto  death,  to  the  nether 
parts  of  the  earth,  in  the  midst 
of  the  children  of  men,  with 
them  that  go  down  to  the  pit. 

15  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
In  the  day  when  he  went  down 
to  the  grave  I  caused  a  mourn- 
ing :  I  covered  the  deep  for  him, 
and  I  restrained  the  floods  there- 
of, and  the  great  waters  were 
stayed:  and  I  caused  LeVa-non 
to  mourn  for  him,  and  all  the

trees  of  the  field  fainted  for 
him. 

16  I  made  the  nations  to 
shake  at  the  sound  of  his  fall, 
when  I  cast  him  down  to  hell 
with  them  that  descend  into 
the  pit:  and  all  the  trees  of 
E'den,  the  choice  and  best  of 
Lgb'a-non,  all  that  drink  water, 
shall  be  comforted  in  the  nether 
parts  of  the  earth. 

17  They  also  went  down  into 
hell  with  him  unto  them  that 
be  slain  with  the  sword;  and 
they  that  were  his  arm,  that 
dwelt  under  his  shadow  in  the 
midst  of  the  heathen. 

18  IT  To  whom  art  thou  thus 
like  in  glory  and  in  greatness 
among  the  trees  of  Cden  ?  yet 
shalt  thou  be  brought  down 
with  the  trees  of  E'den  unto 
the  nether  parts  of  the  earth 
thou  shalt  lie  in  the  midst  of 
the  uncircumcised  with  them 
that  be  slain  by  the  sword. 
This  is  Pha'raoh  and  all  his 
multitude,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

CHAPTER  32 
Lamentation  for  the  fall  of  Egypt. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
twelfth  year,  in  the  twelfth 
month,  in  the  first  day  of  the 
month,  that  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  take  up  a  lam- 
entation for  PhS'raOh  King  of 
E'gypt,  and  say  unto  him,  Thou 
art  like  a  young  lion  of  the  na- 
tions, and  thou  art  as  a  whale 
in  the  seas:  and  thou  earnest 
forth  with  thy  rivers,  and  trou- 
bledst  the  waters  with  thy  feet, 
and  f  ouledst  their  rivers. 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  I 
will  therefore  spread  out  my  net 
over  thee  with  a  company  of 
many  people;  and  they  shall 
bring  thee  up  in  my  net 

4  Then  will  I  leave  thee  upon 
the  land,  I  will  cast  thee  forth 
upon  the  open  field,  and  will 
cause  all  the  fowls  of  the  heav- 
en to  remain  upon  thee,  and  I 
will  fill  the  beasts  of  the  whole 
earth  with  thee. 

5  And  I  will  lay  thy  flesh 
upon  the  mountains,  and  fill  the 
valleys  with  thy  height. 

6  I  will  also  water  with  thy 
blood  the  land  wherein  thou 
swimmest,  even  to  the  moun- 
tains; and  the  rivers  shall  be 
full  of  thee. 

7  And  when  I  shall  put  thee 
out,  I  will  cover  the  heaven, 
and  make  the  stars  thereof 
dark ;  I  will  cover  the  sun  with 
a  cloud,  and  the  moon  shall  not 
give  her  light 

794 


8  All  the  bright  lights  of 
heaven  will  I  make  dark  over 
thee,  and  set  darkness  upon  thy 
land,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

9  I  will  also  vex  the  hearts  of 
many  people,  when  I  shall  bring 
thy  destruction  among  the  na- 
tions, into  the  countries  which 
thou  hast  not  known. 

10  Yea,  I  will  make  many 
people  amazed  at  thee,  and  their 
kings  shall  be  horribly  afraid 
for  thee,  when  I  shall  brandish 
my  sword  before  them;  and 
they  shall  tremble  at  every 
moment  every  man  for  his  own 
life,  in  the  day  of  thy  fall. 

11  IFFor  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  The  sword  of  the  king  of 
Bab'J-lon  shall  come  upon  thee. 

12  By  the  swords  of  the 
mighty  will  I  cause  thy  mul- 
titude to  fall,  the  terrible  of 
the  nations,  all  of  them:  and 
they  shall  spoil  the  pomp  of 
E'&tpt,  and  all  the  multitude 
thereof  shall  be  destroyed. 

13  I  will  destroy  also  all  the 
beasts  thereof  from  beside  the 
great  waters ;  neither  shall  the 
foot  of  man  trouble  them  any 
more,  nor  the  hoofs  of  beasts 
trouble  them. 

14  Then  will  I  make  their 
waters  deep,  and  cause  their 
rivers  to  run  like  oil,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

15  When  I  shall  make  the  land 
of  £"gypt  desolate,  and  the 
country  shall  be  destitute  of 
that  whereof  it  was  full,  when  I 
shall  smite  all  them  that  dwell 
therein,  then  shall  they  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord. 

16  This  is  the  lamentation 
wherewith  they  shall  lament 
her:  the  daughters  of  the  na- 
tions shall  lament  her:  they 
shall  lament  for  her,  even  for 
£'&?pt>  aQd  for  all  her  multi- 
tude, saith  the  Lord  God. 

17  IFIt  came  to  pass  also  in  the 
twelfth  year,  in  the  fifteenth 
day  of  the  month,  that  the 
word  of  the  Lord  came  unto 
me,  saying, 

18  Son  of  man,  wail  for  the 
multitude  of  £'gypt  and  cast 
them  down,  even  ner,  and  the 
daughters  of  the  famous  na- 
tions, unto  the  nether  parts 
of  the  earth,  with  them  that  go 
down  into  the  pit 

19  Whom  dost  thou  pass  in 
beauty?  go  down,  and  be  thou 
laid  with  the  uncircumcised. 

20  They  shall  fall  in  the  midst 
of  them  that  are  slain  by  the 
sword:  she  is  delivered  to  the 
sword:  draw  her  and  all  her 
multitudes.

of  the  midst  of  hell  with  them 
that  help  him:  they  are  gone 
down,  they  lie  uncircumcised, 
slain  by  the  sword. 

22  As'shur  is  there  and  all  her 
company :  his  graves  are  about 
him:  all  of  them  slain,  fallen 
by  the  sword : 

23  Whose  graves  are  set  in 
the  sides  of  the  pit.  and  her 
company  is  round  about  her 
grave:  all  of  them  slain,  fallen 
by  the  sword,  which  caused  ter- 
ror in  the  land  of  the  living. 

24  There  is  Elam  and  all  her 
multitude  round  about  her  grave, 
all  of  them  slain,  fallen  by  the 
sword,  which  are  gone  down  un- 
circumcised into  the  nether 
parts  of  the  earth,  which  caused 
their  terror  in  the  land  of  the 
living;  yet  have  they  borne 
their  shame  with  them  that  go 
down  to  the  pit. 

25  They  have  set  her  a  bed  in 
the  midst  of  the  slain  with  all 
her  multitude:  her  graves  are 
round  about  him:  all  of  them 
uncircumcised,  slain  by  the 
sword :  though  their  terror  was 
caused  in  the  land  of  the  living, 
yet  have  they  borne  their  shame 
with  them  that  go  down  to  the 
pit:  he  is  put  in  the  midst  of 
them  that  be  slain. 

26  There  is  Mrshech,  Tu'- 
bal,  and  all  her  multitude:  her 
graves  are  round  about  him :  all 
of  them  uncircumcised,  slain  by 
the  sword,  though  they  caused 
their  terror  in  the  land  of  the 
Irving. 

27  And  they  shall  not  lie  with 
the  mighty  that  are  fallen  of 
the  uncircumcised,  which  are 
gone  down  to  hell  with  their 
weapons  of  war :  and  they  have 
laid  their  swords  under  their 
heads,  but  their  iniquities  shall 
be  upon  their  bones,  though 
they  were  the  terror  of  the 
mighty  in  the  land  of  the  living. 

28  Yea,  thou  shalt  be  broken 
in  the  midst  of  the  uncircum- 
cised, and  shalt  lie  with  them 
that  are  slain  with  the  sword. 

29  There  is  E'dom,  her  kings, 
and  all  her  princes,  which  with 
their  might  are  laid  by  them 
that  were  slain  by  the  sword: 
they  shall  lie  with  the  uncir- 
cumcised, and  with  them  that 
go  down  to  the  pit 

30  There  be  the  princes  of  the 
north,  all  of  them,  and  all  the 
Zl-dS'nl-ans,  which  are  gone 
down  with  the  slain ;  with  their 
terror  they  are  ashamed  of  their 
might ;  and  they  lie  uncircum- 


cised with  them  that  be  slain 
by  the  sword,  and  bear  their 
shame  with  them  that  go  down 
to  the  pit. 

31  Pha'raOh  shall  see  them, 
and  shall  be  comforted  over  all 
his  multitude,  even  Ph&'radh 
and  all  his  army  slain  by  the 
sword,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

32  For  I  have  caused  my  ter- 
ror in  the  land  of  the  living: 
and  he  shall  be  laid  in  th< 
midst  of  the  uncircumcised  with 
them  that  are  slain  with  the 
sword,  even  Pha'raOh  and  all 
his  multitude,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

CHAPTER  33 

Ekekiel  U  admonished  of  hie  duty. 

AGAIN  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  speak  to  the 
children  of  thy  people,  and  say 
unto  them,  When  1  bring  the 
sword  upon  a  land,  if  the  peo- 
ple of  the  land  take  a  man  of 
their  coasts,  and  set  him  for 
their  watchman : 

3  If  when  he  seeth  the  'sword 
come  upon  the  land,  he  blow 
the  trumpet,  and  warn  the  peo- 
ple; 

4  Then  whosoever  heareth  the 
sound  of  the  trumpet,  and  tak- 
eth  not  warning;  if  the  sword 
come,  and  take  him  away,  his 
blood  shall  be  upon  his  own 
head. 

5  He  heard  the  sound  of  the 
trumpet  and  took  not  warning ; 
his  blood  shall  be  upon  him, 
But  he  that  taketh  warning 
shall  deliver  his  soul. 

6  But  if  the  watchman  see  the 
sword  come,  and  blow  not  the 
trumpet  and  the  people  be  not 
warned ;  if  the  sword  come,  and 
take  any  person  from  among 
them,  he  is  taken  away  in  his 
iniquity;  but  his  blood  will  I 
require  at  the  watchman's  hand. 

7  So  thou,  O  son  of  man,  I 
have  set  thee  a  watchman  unto 
the  house  of  Is/ra-el ;  therefore 
thou  shalt  hear  the  word  at  my
